"The God of Fire didn't know that Tang San had deceived everyone on Douluo Continent, as well as Ma Hongjun."
"In his eyes, although the God of Fire's Divine Position and the Phoenix God's Divine Position differed between first and second class gods, what did that distinction really matter?"
"If he wanted to bring his family up with him, Tang San could simply lend him a hand."
"After leaving the God Realm, everyone's starting point would be the same."
Rong Nianbing paused before continuing, "That way, without realizing it, the God of Fire became Tang San's weapon."
"Having missed out on the God of Fire's inheritance, Ma Hongjun would naturally only blame himself and resent his own inadequacy. His Third Brother had clearly swallowed his pride and begged the God of Fire for him, yet he had failed to seize the opportunity."
"He would only hate himself for not working harder, hate himself for lacking the ability to bring his wife to the God Realm, leaving them separated forever."
"According to some unofficial information I heard, when he first ascended and learned that he couldn't bring Bai Chenxiang to the God Realm with him, he went to beg Tang San and even knelt before him."
"But Tang San calmly told Ma Hongjun that a first class god could bring at most two relatives when ascending. And he had already used those two slots to revive two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts: Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape."
"If the God Realm truly had such a rule, wouldn't it have been better for him to revive those two great soul beasts in the mortal world, let them live forever on Douluo Continent, and save that slot for his cousin?"
Huo Yuhao picked up the thread.
