Dual God Trial

The assessment framework was completed, but the Goddess of Life's actions did not end there.

She closed her eyes, and emerald green light emanated from between her brows, spreading throughout the Divine Realm.

Soon, the Goddess of Life summoned the Healing God.

The Healing God, Second-Level God under the Goddess of Life, who wields ultimate healing power.

She walked to the bottom of the jade steps, stopped, bowed slightly, and placed her right hand on her chest.

The Goddess of Life showed her Ye Lingling's image.

"Heal, are you willing to bestow Divine Examination upon this person?"

After observing Ye Lingling for a while, the Healing God nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

She placed her right hand on her chest, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Your subordinate is willing."

The Goddess of Life nodded, flicked her finger, and a beam of emerald light flew from her fingertip, landing between the eyebrows of the Healing God.

That was the entirety of the Healing God's test, with each test corresponding to Tang San's Divine Examination.

Douluo Continent, deep in the Great Wasteland Desert.

Tang San and his four girls were resting in the oasis.

Unbeknownst to them, in the Divine Realm above the endless void, the two god-kings had already paved a path for them to godhood.

That road was extremely dangerous, a path with a near-certain death rate.

The five were preparing to set off again.

Suddenly, the sky brightened.

Two beams of light descended from the sky, piercing through the clouds and landing precisely in the oasis.

One was emerald green, and the other was dark purple.

Two beams of light, one on the left and one on the right, emanated an aura of holiness and majesty.

A dark purple beam of light fell on Tang San, while a bright green beam of light fell on Ye Lingling.

Tang San's body jolted violently.

At that moment, his consciousness seemed to enter a strange space, surrounded by Void.

The figures of two deities appeared in his consciousness, their voices resounding simultaneously, intertwining to form a solemn divine decree.

"Mortal Tang San, you possess the potential to simultaneously wield the Life Force and the power of destruction. I hereby bestow upon you the Life and Destruction Dual God Fusion Divine Trial, a total of nine trials. Pass, and you will inherit the Dual Godhood of life and destruction. Fail, and you will perish, body and soul."

Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.

His heart stopped for a moment in shock.

It's here! It's finally here!

Do you know how I've been these past few years?!

The divine position is finally secured!

It's still Dual Godhood!

The Life God King and the Destruction God King!

Without hesitation, he knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed his head slightly.

"Junior Tang San is willing to accept the Divine Examination."

As soon as he finished speaking, the contents of the divine oracle flooded into his mind.

A series of thoughts, like nine cards, were lined up in front of him.

"The Dual God Trial Passage is now open."

Then, the first card lit up, with emerald green and dark purple light intertwining on it.

"The Dual God Trial, First Trial: Together with your Divine Examination partner Ye Lingling, enter the two secret realms, 'Forest of Life' and 'Abyss of Destruction,' to complete the trial. There is no time limit."

Immediately, Tang San's consciousness withdrew from the void and returned to reality.

The emerald green and dark purple light slowly receded from his body, condensing into two faint marks on his palms.

On the palm of my right hand is a tree pattern. It's a miniature version of the Tree of Life, and the mark is emerald green.

On the palm of his left hand was an image of a scepter. It was a miniature version of the Staff of Destruction, the mark being dark purple.

At the same time, Tang San also sensed that the three contracts in his sea of consciousness had completely disappeared, replaced by the nine marks of the Divine Examination.

Before the final contract disappeared, it released three golden rays of light, which condensed in Tang San's palm.

After the light faded, three golden beads lay quietly in his palm, each about the size of a child's fist.

God-Given Soul Ring!

These four words automatically popped into Tang San's mind.

But aren't God-Given Soul Rings something only gods can grant?

An idea immediately flashed through his mind.

Could my garbage system be a deity in disguise?

If this is true, then this deity must have the ability to "foresee the future and predict good and bad fortune".

Otherwise, how could this deity have predicted Tang San's future?

Moreover, it wants to change Tang San without affecting his growth trajectory, creating a new Tang San!

In the Divine Realm, which deity possesses such power?

After thinking for a long time, Tang San still had no clue.

He shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore and just mind his own business.

I have two Martial Souls and so many women; I was just worried about not finding enough Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts! And now I've gotten three God-Given Soul Rings for free—what more can I say?

Tang San stored the three God-Given Soul Rings into his Storage Soul Tool.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingling also completed her telepathic communication with the Healing God at the same moment.

She opened her eyes, and Tang San's image was reflected in her blue pupils.

A pale golden flower mark appeared between Ye Lingling's brows. It was the Divine Imprint of the Healing God.

The two looked at each other, no words were needed.

Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Shui Bing'er stood aside, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"Third Brother, Lingling, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu was the first to ask.

Tang San smiled, gently patted her head, and calmly said, "We've been chosen by the gods and have received their Godhood Inheritance test. Passing the test will allow us to become true gods."

The pupils of Dugu Yan and the others suddenly contracted.

Gods, those are legendary beings.

No one has ever actually seen a god, and no one even truly believes in their existence.

But now, Tang San and Ye Lingling have both been chosen by the gods.

A complex mix of emotions welled up within the three of them: shock, joy, and disappointment.

It's not jealousy, it's a kind of self-doubt about whether I'm good enough.

Tang San noticed their emotions, so he stepped forward and embraced Dugu Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Xiao Wu.

"Don't be discouraged. I will definitely help you find the divine inheritance as well."

"There are many divine positions in the Divine Realm. As long as we cultivate diligently and become strong enough, we will always be able to find a suitable Godhood Inheritance."

Tang San released them, his gaze sweeping over the three girls' faces. "We are family, and we will never be separated. Whether in the mortal realm or the Divine Realm, we will always be together."

Dugu Yan raised her head, smiled, and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, we will definitely double our efforts in cultivation."

Shui Bing'er and Xiao Wu also raised their heads, their eyes becoming even more determined.

"Third Brother, Lingling, what are the assessment criteria for you?"

Shui Bing'er composed herself and then asked curiously.

Tang San slowly began, "My Divine Examination consist of nine trials in total. We can only see the content of the First Trial now. The requirement is to enter two secret realms with Lingling and complete the trials within."

Ye Lingling continued, "My assessment was related to my Third Brother; each test was about helping him complete the corresponding assessment. If my Third Brother passed, then I passed."

Yes, Ye Lingling did not complete the Healing God Trial alone, but rather assisted Tang San in completing the Dual Divine Test Assessment.

She will be Tang San's most important helper, needing to heal him when he is injured and guide him when he is lost.

If Tang San succeeds, the two will jointly inherit the Godhood Inheritance. If Tang San fails, the two will both perish, body and soul.

Seeing the unwavering determination in Ye Lingling's eyes, a look of resolve that suggested she would live and die with him, Tang San took her hand and said, "I won't let you down. I will definitely succeed."

"Third Brother, when will your assessment begin?" Xiao Wu asked.

"There's no rush. The First Trial has no time limit, and it requires a preparation period. Once we've all arranged everything and I'm completely focused, then Lingling and I will enter the secret realm for seclusion. That might take a long time, maybe several months, maybe several years."

Tang San roughly guessed that the so-called Divine Examination Realm might be similar to the Slaughter City, requiring one to undergo trials to gain initial recognition as a god.

Furthermore, I need to complete trials in two secret realms! The difficulty is truly considerable!

I need to arrange everything properly before starting, otherwise I might get caught up in it like my great- Tang Chen.
