Tang Chen, a prodigy of his time and the inheritor of the God Shura's legacy.
Unfortunately, he was ultimately abandoned by the God Shura; otherwise, he would have undoubtedly become the new God Shura.
Tang Chen was forsaken by the God Shura just as he was about to complete the eighth trial of the God Shura's inheritance and ascend to godhood.
He was then seduced by the Rakshasa God and successfully parasitized by a bat.
Now, Tang Chen remains the inheritor of the God Shura's legacy, but his body is riddled with wounds and can no longer withstand the divine power of the God Shura.
He is also unable to complete the final trial.
What the God Shura intends to do now is simple: transfer everything Tang Chen has gained and pave the way for Tang San to inherit it all.
Upon hearing this, Lord Yama fell silent.
If the inheritance were to be transferred, Tang Chen's days would be numbered.
The moment the transfer is completed, Tang Chen would die, and the God Shura would have to find a new host.
If things remain as they are now, with the help of the Yellow Spring River, both Tang Chen and Lord Yama could sustain themselves for a thousand years!
"What, you little bat, are you eyeing my divine power?"
"I just want to live!"
The God Shura's divine power is not something he can covet.
Even though he has taken control of Tang Chen's body, he still cannot wield the God Shura's divine power.
Moreover, he cannot fully utilize Tang Chen's own strength either.
This is also why he previously feared the God Shura.
If it came to a real fight, he might not necessarily win against the God Shura, especially those two.
"Then why are you still hesitating?"
"Give what belongs to me to Tang San, and I will sever all ties with the City of Slaughter, allowing it to develop freely."
"You're just switching to a new host..."
Before the God Shura could finish speaking, Yama's voice rang out again.
"Tang San has committed sins..."
God Shura: 0.o
What a bold statement, Tang San has committed sins!
"He is my inheritor. Even if he has committed sins, it's not your place to judge him!"
As the enforcer of the divine realm, the God Shura was almost amused by the absurdity.
He never expected that his inheritor would be accused of sins by a mere bat.
"Do you think I can't do anything to you?"
"..."
If the God Shura had a way to deal with him, would he be wasting time talking?
As an ancient beast, he had a fairly good understanding of what kind of person the God Shura was.
If the God Shura truly had a way to deal with him, he would have killed him outright.
There would be no need for negotiation, let alone offering to sever ties with the City of Slaughter.
This is the God Shura's inheritance ground...
Wait, if Tang San is the God Shura's inheritor, then once Tang San ascends to godhood, this inheritance ground would indeed become useless.
If the God Shura isn't taking action, it must be because he is wary of something.
"I currently cannot descend to the mortal realm, but to deal with you, I don't need to descend!"
"Tang Chen's body still contains the God Shura's divine power. If I were to awaken him, what do you think would happen?"
A threat, a straightforward threat.
The God Shura made it clear that this was a threat, but Lord Yama had no choice but to accept it.
If Tang Chen were to awaken, the first to die would undoubtedly be him.
A significant part of the reason Tang Chen failed was due to his "contributions."
"I can agree to your terms, but Tang San has committed sins. He must be punished before he can receive the inheritance!"
"This is my final condition!"
Lord Yama declared with an air of righteousness.
God Shura did not take immediate action, likely because he feared a certain powerful figure.
Therefore, he would not dare to act recklessly.
Silence, a deathly silence.
After a long pause, a voice finally spoke.
"Agreed!"
In the God Shura's temple in the divine realm.
With a loud "bang," the table in front of the God Shura turned to dust.
His face was icy, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.
For so many years, this was the first time he had been threatened by someone... no, this bat wasn't even human!
How dare it bargain with him?
What right did this bat have to negotiate with him?
Torture Tang San before granting him the inheritance?
This creature clearly had a death wish!
Based on his understanding of Tang San, once Tang San gained enough power, the underworld would be wiped clean!
The phrase "already deserving of death" was no joke.
"No, even if I were to face that person, it would only be a fifty-fifty chance. I must seek external help. Otherwise, even if Tang San becomes a god, he still won't be a match for that person."
Lord Yama was correct. The God Shura did fear a certain existence, which was why he didn't dare to act too arrogantly.
This was also the reason why this little bat was able to preserve its life.
"Big brother, what made you so angry?"
Suddenly, a booming voice echoed through the hall, and the God Shura's expression immediately returned to normal.
"Poseidon, what are you doing here?"
The God Shura asked irritably. He was still fuming, and Poseidon's arrival was like walking into the line of fire.
"Oh, I was just passing by and noticed that big brother had unleashed his divine power. Turns out you were venting your anger."
Poseidon crossed his arms, smiling gleefully.
It was rare to see the God Shura in such a state, and he intended to record this moment carefully so he could share it with others.
Wait, no, this should be called "sharing experiences!"
In the entire Douluo Continent, Poseidon was the most skilled at sharing.
During Qian Renxue's divine trials, he had secretly recorded everything and shared it with Tang San and the others.
Not only that, but he also knew how to make copies!
Seeing Poseidon's mischievous expression, the God Shura's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but want to slap him.
Wait a minute, Poseidon, the Sea God, had also ascended from the Douluo Continent, hadn't he?
His inheritance was also left on the Douluo Continent.
If Tang San could inherit both his and Poseidon's legacies, he might be able to advance even further.
In the short term, he might still not be a match for that person, but given enough time, things could change.
Thinking of this, the God Shura's expression remained unchanged, but a glint of eagerness flashed in his eyes as he looked at Poseidon.
Poseidon: "???"
For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he was being plotted against.
As a peak-level first-grade deity, Poseidon's strength was only one level below the God Shura's.
Although he couldn't defeat the God Shura, he wasn't particularly afraid of him either.
If he were willing to absorb the authority of the oceans on the Douluo Continent and wreak havoc there, becoming a God King would be a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, Poseidon wasn't like Tang San.
He still had deep feelings for the Douluo Continent, so he had given up such an opportunity.
"What's wrong, big brother? The way you're looking at me makes me feel uneasy."
"Nothing, nothing."
The God Shura waved his hand, but the gesture didn't mean everything was fine, it meant there was no need to say more.
A single person couldn't bear the weight of two godly legacies.
Some adjustments would have to be made.
As if struck by a sudden thought, a smile gradually spread across the God Shura's face.
Seeing this, Poseidon quickly retreated from the God Shura's residence.
He couldn't shake the feeling that the God Shura was acting strangely, and further conversation was out of the question.
"Damn it, has the God Shura lost his mind?"
"I feel like he's been acting a bit off lately."
"If only I could pass on my godly legacy sooner and leave the divine realm."
In truth, most gods were filled with longing when they first arrived in the divine realm.
But after spending some time there, they would realize that it was essentially a larger prison, a cage designed for gods.
