To be honest, he felt a little uneasy too. He really did not dare do anything to Destruction.
After all, he had been secretly meddling in the affairs of the lower realm all along, a grave taboo under the rules of the God Realm. As a law enforcer, he was knowingly breaking the law. If the other God-Kings found out, it would truly be a major disaster.
The five God-Kings of the God Realm were all formidable, and if Asura did not bring his Asura Sword, he would not stand a single chance against those two evil gods. Though they were all God-Kings, breaking the rules now and then might not seem like a big deal, but the Asura God was truly incorrigible. He had done far too many excessive things.
Just think about it. He had casually allowed an outsider's soul to wander the lower realm, freely interfered with the foundation of his own inheritance, meddled in the inheritances of other gods, and had even used the Dragon King's remains to disrupt the cultivation balance of the lower realm... Any one of those things would be a shocking, earth-shattering secret, yet he had gone ahead and done them all so boldly!
So, he was only talking big.
Some people deliberately hid in the darkness, concealing their true identities, while others were beings whose truth even the Asura God could not perceive, such as Wriothesley and Sigewinne, who did not belong to this world. Wriothesley and Sigewinne were not natives of Douluo Continent, and their fate had no connection to this land. Therefore, the Asura God could not sense their existence at all.
However, the people and things that followed had quietly undergone changes in fate because of their close ties to Wriothesley and Sigewinne. This was one reason why the Asura God felt confused. Before him, everyone else's fate was as difficult to discern as clouds and mist, yet Tang San's situation was something he could see through at a glance.
Because of this, the Asura God felt a faint sense of unease. Then, his thoughts were interrupted by a question. Wait, why has the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well become like this? He still remembered the burial place of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings clearly.
That place had originally been something he created with his own hands. During the Dragon God War, it had been perfectly normal to casually snatch one or two items amid the chaos without anyone noticing.
And why had Tang San been able to be reborn here with the memories of his previous life? If he had not carefully protected that soul, could Tang San have become what he was today? With just the techniques of Hidden Weapons and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, it would have been impressive enough if he remembered even a little. How could he possibly remember them so clearly?
This showed that everything was inseparable from the Asura God's protection. The Asura God seemed to have deeply branded that knowledge, along with a trace of Asura power, into his soul.
Otherwise, Tang San would have been lucky to recall even a little.
This makes no sense! he thought. Tang San has never set foot in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so why does it look as though it has been plowed over now?
And a few hours ago in the God Realm, the contingency he had planted in Tang Hao, Tang San's protector, had actually dissipated.
What did that mean?
It meant Tang Hao had encountered a powerful enemy.
The thing he had placed in Tang Hao could allow him to gain power in a critical moment by autonomously activating Divine Slaughter's Domain.
That power could let Tang Hao hold his ground against a so-called Ultimate Douluo for several minutes without being defeated.
Otherwise, with Tang Hao's meager strength, could he have severely injured Qian Xunji just after advancing to Title Douluo?
Was that supposed to be a joke?
If the Asura God had not secretly lent him strength, escaping would have been a problem in itself.
Did they really think a Title Douluo who had just obtained a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, without even consolidating his cultivation, could defeat a level ninety-five Super Douluo with a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?
Of course, it had not come without a cost. Tang Hao might only be in his fifties now, but physically, he was probably over eighty.
After all, that power had been bought with his lifespan.
But now...
The contingency had vanished completely.
This meant Tang San had lost another layer of protection.
"I cannot be careless. In just a few days of inattention, so many changes have arisen. For the next dozen days or so, I must remain doubly vigilant and cannot relax in the slightest."
In the flow of time within the God Realm, it was no more than an instant. For the Asura God, finding an inheritor was merely a matter of one month, enough to complete all the rituals. Yet now, his thoughts had condensed into heavy suspicion because of a trace of abnormality.
"Hmm?"
The Asura God's brows furrowed slightly. His blade-sharp gaze locked onto a figure known as the Woman of Destiny. Her fate seemed to have quietly declined in an instant. The change came like a violent storm, catching him completely off guard.
Xiao Wu, the woman personally chosen by the Asura God as the Asura Sword Sheath, should never have suffered such fluctuations. Yet what was the cause of the current situation?
At that moment, the Asura God sank into deep thought, a complex light flickering in his eyes.
He shook his head and sighed, as if trying to dispel the doubts in his heart. In the end, he focused his attention once more on the young man named Tang San.
"The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' ruins have already become like this. The Asura Sword Sheath absolutely cannot be lost..." he murmured, his words filled with concern and contemplation. As his voice fell, the atmosphere of the God Realm fell silent, as though even time had stopped.
So-called luck was nothing more than a script laid out in advance. The manipulator of fate was making arrangements in the shadows.
Recently, with the Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament drawing near, Heaven Dou City had seen more merchants and pedestrians coming and going.
However, there were still at least two months before the tournament opened.
As the core of Heaven Dou Kingdom and one of the empire's most important cities, Heaven Dou City's usual prosperity had not been affected even after it was selected as the venue for the Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
Even Wriothesley's little clinic had begun attracting more people.
At first, people only came to see a doctor. Later, though, many who saw his young and handsome face could not resist coming over to ask a few questions. In truth, they were just trying to flirt with him.
Later on, some girls could not help asking whether he offered any beauty-enhancing services...
All of this gave Wriothesley a tremendous headache.
This was a clinic, not a beauty salon!
After turning them down again and again, he gradually got used to it.
Still, such matters inevitably caused him a great deal of trouble.
He simply closed the doors and posted a notice: Those not seeking treatment would not be received!
Unexpectedly, this only made the visitors even more enthusiastic.
He regretted opening a clinic here now. If he had known, he would never have done it in the first place. Great, now he was exhausted like a dog every day.
Wait...
His constellation seemed to be called Cerberus.
Although Sigewinne enjoyed it, Wriothesley did not want her to tire herself out like this.
Balancing work and rest was important.
"Head Nurse, no consultations today," Wriothesley instructed.
"But there are still so many patients at the clinic," Sigewinne said.
"Those people are only here to take a look. They are not actually sick. Tomorrow, we can have Xue Qinghe send people to escort the unrelated ones out," Wriothesley said, looking at the people near the entrance who were clearly not patients.
"All right." Sigewinne nodded, then said to the other nurses, "Go rest first."
"Understood, Miss Sigewinne."
