Nan Gong Lingyun was slightly surprised by the appearance of the Asura God, but not overly shocked.
Firstly, he had planned this entire operation.
If it were just Tang Chen, according to the novel, he should currently be infested by the Nine-Headed Blood Bats and on the verge of death.
Even if Tang Chen really wanted to hunt him down, he wouldn't be so cautious as to bring the entire Clear Sky Sect's titled Douluo, not missing a single one.
One must remember that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao both possessed the ability to fight above their levels. Coupled with the Tang Sect's unique techniques and the ring explosion secret method, they could even take on opponents two or three levels higher.
The remaining five elders could also form a combined attack formation, which was similarly not weak.
His true strength hadn't been exposed before. Even if the Asura God was worried about being stopped by Angel Yan, according to common sense, any one of these three major combat units would have been entirely sufficient.
Secondly, unless the Asura God could predict that a Sea God would help Tang San in the future, he would inevitably need a level ninety-nine great offering for sacrifice.
If Tang Chen died, it would be almost impossible to find a second one.
An Extreme Douluo wasn't exactly common.
But what Nangong Lingyun didn't expect was,
The deity I inherited, Destruction and Life... What did this mean?
Did Asura think he was the inheritor of both the God of Destruction and the God of Life?
And there wasn't a hint of inquiry in his tone, as if it were an undeniable fact, stated matter-of-factly.
So, even God Kings could exaggerate and boast? Had he been treated as a show-off because he was so outlandish?
A scene flashed through Nangong Lingyun's mind.
The God of Destruction clenched his fists and pounded his chest, incredibly excited and unrestrained, laughing heartily:
"Look at how awesome my successor is!
Asura, bring your Tang San out and compare! Don't worry, I've had professional training; I won't laugh no matter how funny it is, unless I can't help it, haha, ah ha ha ha~~~"
The God of Life lowered her head, revealing a perfectly timed, bashful expression.
"Oh, my contribution isn't much, actually. It's mainly because my inheritor has a little bit of talent, and he's also quite diligent in his cultivation."
Em...
What else could Nangong Lingyun do when facing two god-kings who loved to show off?
Of course, he'd forgive them and silently consider these two god positions as his own.
Well, Gu Yue Na could be Life. If the Silver Dragon King became a Sovereign, it would be a bit beneath her.
Destruction should be assigned to Angel Yan. After all, she was a founding member, and even without credit, she deserved recognition. Her position in the original universe was more powerful than the complete Dragon God.
As for the lack of a Destruction attribute...
Just set up a second Martial Soul and add it. Besides, it's better than the compatibility of a hammer, grass, and the ocean, right?
His mind raced with thoughts, but Nangong Lingyun's expression remained completely unchanged. He was neither servile nor overbearing as he asked: "Do the God of Destruction and the God of Life know about this?"
"Of course I know."
"Then have them come and speak to me themselves."
God Realm Heavenly Palace.
The moment the words were spoken, the God of Destruction and the God of Life felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
They had been pretending to be calm just moments ago, but were actually quite panicked. In the next second, their faces bloomed with smiles, as if they were very pleased, and a hint of undisguised surprise flashed in their eyes.
Although they didn't beat their chests like gorillas, their expressions were not far off from what Nangong Lingyun had imagined.
The God of Destruction secretly decided: "Heh heh, as expected of the inheritor I chose. This kid has been smart since childhood,
"When setting up your assessment in the future, it'll be as simple as possible."
The God of Life's gaze also softened considerably.
The other party didn't expose the lie, which was as good as tacit approval. This time, it was truly a two-way commitment.
Upon hearing Nangong Lingyun bring up the God of Destruction and the God of Life, the blood-colored man secretly cursed his bad luck.
Why do you have to be so smart at such a young age? Wouldn't it be better to be obediently deceived like Tang San?
However, he had initially intended to use his influence to pressure them; whether he succeeded or not didn't matter. If it worked, he'd be making a huge profit.
After slightly adjusting his mood, Asura deliberately spoke loudly in front of Angel Yan:
"Although you've inherited a god position, the others around you haven't.
Especially your protector, Skyblade Douluo, whose qualifications are perfectly suited to be a First-Grade Sovereign. Do you have the heart to watch your loved ones grow old and die alone in the mortal realm? I know many inheritance locations of the gods, and I can use them as a trade to spare Tang Chen's life."
"Don't worry. His ninth trial failed long ago. According to the rules, it's impossible for him to inherit my position. He won't be a colleague in the God Realm, so you don't need to worry about future retribution."
Asura was actually a little puzzled.
If Nangong Lingyun was the inheritor of a god position, then Skyblade Douluo should be the Great Offering, destined to be sacrificed in the future.
Why would she be given such a luxurious set of soul rings? So much power that there was nowhere to put it?
And why didn't he stop me from planning a god position for her? Could there be a second ninety-nine-level backup Great Offering?
But these thoughts flashed through his mind. As long as he could achieve his goal, nothing else mattered.
Perhaps he cherished the inheritor, hoping the protective power would be as strong as possible.
Nangong Lingyun heard this and her lips curled slightly, revealing her signature smile,
"Asura God, I respect you very much,
"But your bargaining chip seems a bit lacking in sincerity. The God Exam locations, the God of Life and the God of Destruction can also tell me."
"Moreover, if they didn't lie to me, the two God Kings should have four slots to bring people into the God Realm. Why would they die of old age in the mortal realm?"
Familiar words appeared once again, and Asura suddenly felt a bit of a toothache.
Today is the Nth time I've hated smart people. If everyone was as foolish as Tang San, how great would that be?
"There are several god's exam locations that only I know."
"What do I need so many god's exam locations for? People with the qualifications to become gods are few and far between; one or two are already enough."
The corners of Nangong Lingyun's mouth curved into a wider smile.
Asura finally realized.
The other party didn't say he had to kill Tang Chen; he only said the bargaining chip lacked sincerity, clearly wanting to blackmail him.
His heart was immediately filled with rage, but he had no choice but to suppress it and ask, "Speak, what exactly do you want?"
"The location of the God Trials is just a bonus. In addition, I want twenty God-Bestowed Soul Rings."
"Ho... how many? Say that again?"
Asura almost couldn't believe his ears, his face filled with shock.
But what he never expected was that Nangong Lingyun was even more shocked. "Are twenty a lot? Sister Yan and I both have God-Bestowed Soul Rings, and we can continue to strengthen them at any time when our strength increases.
You, a dignified God King, aren't trying to freeload, are you?"
"I..."
In the God Realm Heavenly Palace, Life and Destruction silently lowered their heads, no longer daring to speak.
