"Tang Chen... you bastard."
Then, looking at the reward for Tang Chen in the Heavenly Screen, a hint of joy also flickered in Qian Daoliu's gaze.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he said, "You really are a lucky bastard, the Heavenly Screen descends, bestows a reward, and helps you break free."
"If not for this, I truly wouldn't have known whether you were alive or dead."
But then, Qian Daoliu let out a somewhat helpless sigh: "That guy gets on the list and can obtain the Asura God God Position God Exam."
"A god's God Exam, and what about me? Could it be..."
Thinking this, Qian Daoliu tilted his head slightly to look up at the enormous Angel God Statue, momentarily lost in confusion.
As the Great Offering of a god, he had his own mission to fulfill.
But if things really went as he imagined in his heart, then he might very well become a new god.
"Xiao Xue..."
Seeing Qian Daoliu like this, the Second Worship, Jin'e Douluo, and the other worshippers all scratched their heads in bewilderment.
Then, Qian Daoliu's gaze turned somewhat anxious as he looked toward the direction of the Papal Palace.
"Rakshasa God..."
"Sigh, I wonder if Bibi Dong's presence in Martial Soul Hall is a blessing or a curse..."
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong stared venomously and viciously at the glaringly conspicuous words in the Heavenly Screen.
"Tang Chen! Asura God God Exam!"
"Damn it! Damn it all! You old undying bastards, clearly relics of the last era, why can't you just die properly!"
"Why are you still alive, why are you still obstructing my great cause!"
Bibi Dong's eyes were Scarlet Red as she abruptly twisted her head to look at the Worship Hall on the distant mountain peak.
Her gaze was utterly sinister.
"Tang Chen's reward is like this, so what about Qian Daoliu?"
"Could he also obtain a God Position God Exam?"
Bibi Dong's gaze gradually flickered with uncertainty, and the Gemstone Scepter in her hand creaked under her grip.
"Perhaps, before he makes it onto the list, I should kill him!"
"Just like his foolish son..."
Inside Sea God Island.
The Great Offering, Bo Saixi, stared at the golden characters in the Heavenly Screen with immense excitement.
A magnificent scepter was clutched in her hand, her palm turning slightly pale from the excessive force.
"It's him, it's him, it's him!"
"Tang Chen! You're still alive, that's wonderful!"
Tears slowly welled up in Bo Saixi's eyes, unable to contain the surging emotions within her heart.
"Going off to find the path to godhood... you bastard, how could you be so foolish, so dense!"
"But now that your Mental Clarity has recovered and you've obtained the Asura God God Exam, you should be coming back soon."
"I will wait for you on Sea God Island..."
Inside Shrek Academy.
Tang San clutched his chest, sitting beside Xiao Wu with a face as if he had just eaten something foul.
"The self-created skill Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, the Great Sumeru Hammer... the past Sect Masters of Clear Sky Sect."
"So, Father is a member of Clear Sky Sect?"
"It seems that this ancestor's revival now is a good thing."
Thinking this, Tang San should have been overjoyed, but instead his expression was extremely grim.
"But, but why, why can't I feel happy?"
"And, and." Tang San clutched his chest, his face bitter as he said, "Why does my heart feel so empty, as if I've lost something important?"
Beside him, Xiao Wu had been happily watching the Heavenly Screen's exposé, but suddenly noticed the change in her Third Brother's expression and immediately grew anxious.
"Third Brother, what's wrong with you? Why does your face look so awful?!"
"Are you sick?"
Tang San shook his head: "I'm fine, Xiao Wu, it's just that for some reason, I keep feeling an emptiness in my heart."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu seemed to understand something. She immediately stood up, grabbed Tang San's hand, and pulled him off into the distance.
"Hehe, Third Brother, I get what's going on with you now."
"You're just hungry, right? Let's go eat. Once you're full, your heart won't feel so empty anymore!"
"Hehehe!"
Watching Xiao Wu's lively, adorable appearance, Tang San shook his head helplessly and said with a doting smile, "Alright."
Inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Big, Big Brother, it's Tang Chen! It's Tang Chen, the one called Invincible on the Ground!"
"I never thought, I never thought he was still alive."
Yu Luomian looked excitedly at his elder brother beside him.
"Now that Tang Chen has returned, we of the Upper Three Sects have the capital to stand against Martial Soul Hall!"
"There's no need to stay hidden any longer!"
Yu Yuanzhen, however, pressed down on Yu Luomian's trembling, excited shoulder.
He spoke calmly, "We don't know when Tang Chen will return from the City of Slaughter, and whether he's even willing to oppose Martial Soul Hall is still up in the air."
"Besides, the Clear Sky Sect hasn't made a single move so far."
Saying this, Yu Yuanzhen shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.
"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!"
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will continue to remain in seclusion."
"But..." Listening to his elder brother's words, Yu Luomian was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly as well. "Sigh..."
At the deepest part of the City of Slaughter.
On a throne of dark red, seemingly built from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Sat a man with disheveled hair, clad in dark red armor, his gaze chaotic.
An endless aura of blood and slaughter radiated around him.
Suddenly, the man's body jolted violently.
His originally confused and vacant eyes gradually cleared.
The dark red within them rapidly receded, returning to a clear state.
This man was none other than the Invincible on the Ground—Tang Chen—who had entered the City of Slaughter seeking the path to godhood, only to be disturbed by the Rakshasa God's Spiritual Sense.
"I, I, I am Tang Chen! I am Tang Chen!"
Tang Chen clutched his head, roaring up to the sky with a pained expression.
Vast memories surged forth like a tidal wave.
Martial Soul Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, Qian Daoliu, and that azure-blue, beautiful woman buried deep in his heart, above the Great Sea.
But at the same time, Tang Chen could clearly sense that his connection to the Asura God Examination had been completely severed.
Yet in the next moment, he once again possessed the Asura God Examination.
Only this time, he had to start over from the First Examination, and its content was completely different from before.
"I'm back! I'm back!"
Then, Tang Chen's gaze turned to the Golden Sky Screen hanging high in the sky dome, visible even from within the City of Slaughter.
"The Sky Screen... the Human Race Combat Strength Ranking?"
Tang Chen murmured to himself, sensing the terrifying power within his body, no weaker than before.
He looked around and said quietly, "Time to leave."
"Time to go back to the Clear Sky Sect and see. And Qian Daoliu, and her, her..."
Now that the Sky Screen had descended, even the City of Slaughter, established by the Asura God himself, trembled from it.
This was the best time to leave.
Without further hesitation, Tang Chen immediately headed toward the exit of the City of Slaughter.
He felt not a trace of attachment to the City of Slaughter.
