Immortality (Two-in-One)
"Failed?"
Just as Wu Feng was feeling surprised, Gu Tianchen beside her also recalled the punishment—"annihilation"—given when they failed to pass the examinations bestowed by the Sea God. He asked, "But why did he ultimately become a god?"
"I know this too."
Back when she was the Young Sect Master, Ning Tian's reading volume had been immense. She had read all kinds of miscellaneous records, anecdotes, and ancestral accounts...
"According to the records, it was only after Sea God Tang San stepped in that Ma Hongjun changed godhoods and didn't inherit the God of Fire's godhood."
At this point, Ning Tian looked at Wu Feng with a smile. "Based on those records, the God of Fire in the God Realm probably still wanted to pass on his godhood. So if you seek him out, the Ultimate Fire contained in your Martial Soul should be enough to earn his recognition."
"Good!"
Wu Feng's expression immediately brightened.
"Then he'll be my next target!"
She then turned to Gu Tianchen. "When the time comes, we'll become gods together—one God of Space and one God of Fire. We'll leave a legend behind in this world!"
"Ambitious."
Chen Junting gave her a thumbs-up and praised her with a smile.
Although his tone sounded somewhat like he was coaxing a child, Wu Feng clearly enjoyed it. She was so pleased with herself that she could hardly contain it.
But in the next second, Ning Tian poured cold water over her.
"But, Sister Feng, if you want to earn the God of Fire's recognition, there's another important prerequisite. You have to be able to meet the God of Fire—or be able to attract a Deity's attention like Yuhao did."
"You..."
Ning Tian paused and adopted an inquisitive, listening expression.
"What are you planning to do?"
