The Promise to Become a God

However, this creates an even bigger problem. If I remember correctly, she just said that her family doesn't understand cultivation and can't provide cultivation resources.

Concealing his background and lying to join the Spirit Hall is suspicious!

The admissions officers had seen many people with ulterior motives trying to infiltrate the Spirit Hall Academy over the years, but this was the first time they had encountered someone so obviously lying.

One problem after another, Tang San could only feign grievance and fear, while inwardly pondering how to deal with them.

Regarding the previous issues, he could bribe others to falsify records, perhaps managing to get away with it.

But the problems that followed were more difficult to solve.

He had just said that he was an orphan living under the roof of others, leading a difficult and miserable life.

How did he awaken his Martial Soul? How did he cultivate to the Soul Ancestor? How did he acquire his Soul Ring? And it's impossible that he didn't accept the subsidies from the Spirit Hall.

Tang San naturally couldn't use his previous records; he disguised himself as a woman because he didn't want people to discover that he was Tang Hao's son.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind.

Finally, Tang San slowly spread his five fingers, and the Blue Silver Grass shot out from his palm like a serpent. At the same time, four Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—rose one after another, casting dappled light on the blue brick floor of the admissions office.

Tang San believed that geniuses should have certain privileges. As long as he demonstrated enough genius and strength, he could pass the test smoothly, just like when he Shrek Academy.

The Spirit Hall Academy wouldn't be foolish enough to drive away geniuses.

"Teacher, I am a Soul Ancestor, I..." Tang San confidently introduced himself, speaking fluently and without mentioning the question the admissions teacher had just asked.

However, the admissions officers became even more wary. A young Soul Ancestor with an optimal Soul Ring configuration must have been trained by another force.

but...

"This Martial Soul..." The admissions officer suddenly leaned closer, his hawk-like gaze fixed on the distorted form of the Blue Silver Grass. The once vibrant green leaves were now a strange mix of black and yellow, with Silver Blue veins pulsating like blood vessels, and sharp thorns gleaming with a cold light like spider legs. "You have a mutated Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?"

He had seen Blue Silver Grass before. Although absorbing Soul Ring would cause some changes to Martial Soul, this was the first time he had encountered such a significant change.

"Yes... yes, teacher." Tang San still chose to play the role of a weak and pitiful girl.

The teacher from the Spirit Hall Academy mistook his Blue Silver Grass for Mutated Martial Soul, which actually made it easier for him to infiltrate the Spirit Hall without revealing his identity.

The admissions officer stroked his chin, lost in thought, the candlelight casting shifting shadows on his face.

I remember now, Blue Silver Grass, Soul Ancestor...

"Bring your household registration certificate by 9:00 AM tomorrow." The admissions officer suddenly dropped the bombardment, grabbed a quill pen, and scribbled rapidly on parchment. "If everything is verified, you'll be scheduled for a practical assessment."

"Understood, thank you, teacher." Tang San suppressed the nervousness surging in his heart, and as he curtsied, the hem of his light blue skirt swept across the ground, raising a fine dust.

The moment he stepped out of the admissions office, he looked at the towering spire of the Spirit Hall and finally tasted the blood on his tongue.

Although Tang San was also a little surprised by the sudden change in the attitude of the Spirit Hall Academy teachers, he knew he couldn't miss the opportunity and decided to join first.

Maybe this teacher recognized my talent, which is why I was admitted!

Tang San calmed himself down while preparing for the next day's assessment.

Sea God Island

Bo Saixi stood before the stained-glass window of the Sea God Temple, the edges of the secret report in her hand fluttering in the sea breeze. The four characters "Tang Chen's Fall" on the parchment were clearly visible in the afterglow, and the waves crashing against the coral pillars were exceptionally clear at this moment.

A tear fell at the signature of the secret report, spreading out in a dark ripple.

Years ago, under the same salty sea breeze, Tang Chen vowed to become a man worthy of being the High Priest of the Sea God.

At that time, Bo Saixi also firmly believed that Tang Chen could do it, and waited patiently on Sea God Island for the man to return and fulfill his promise.

"High Priest?" a maid's voice sounded from behind.

Bo Saixi continued to gaze at the horizon, which was bathed in golden-red light under the setting sun.

That's the direction of the mainland...

Chapter 202 The Promise of Godhood

The maid received no answer and cautiously looked up, only to see the high priest's back in his bright red priestly robes.

But for some reason, the maid sensed that the high priest seemed very sad at that moment.

Bo Saixi lowered his head again and examined the parchment in his hand carefully.

When Bo Saixi realized that the murderer who killed Tang Chen was named Qian Xunji, the son of Qian Daoliu, her eyes widened slightly in surprise.

She had considered that Tang Chen might have been killed by Qian Daoliu, or perhaps beaten to death by another god's successor, but she never imagined that Tang Chen would be defeated and even killed by Qian Daoliu's son.

Absurd and laughable!

Bo Saixi remembered that Qian Xunji, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, had written him a letter that was extremely provocative to the followers of the Sea God.

Bo Saixi's impression of him was that he was an extremely rude and disrespectful junior. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't easily leave Sea God Island, Bo Saixi would have even wanted to teach him a lesson.

Since he was able to defeat Tang Chen, he must have already become Limit Douluo, and may even have obtained the inheritance of a god.

Bo Saixi closed her eyes, tightening her grip on the scepter as reason and emotion clashed.

In the end, her faith triumphed over her love for Tang Chen.

Just as she remained on Sea God Island for decades after Tang Chen went missing without venturing out to search for him, Bo Saixi still couldn't break her devotion to the Sea God because of love.

Once she becomes the High Priestess, Bo Saixi is forbidden from leaving the Sea God Island for the rest of her life unless the Sea God issues a divine decree.

Spirit City Pope Palace

Qian Xunji looked at the student Silver Blue's information and had a strange expression. Tang San actually dared to infiltrate the Spirit Hall for the Immortal Herb, and even dressed up as a woman.

However, Tang San's moral standards have never been high. In his previous life, he died because he stole a sect's secret techniques, was chased down, and finally jumped off a cliff to his death.

But since it's come to us, we might as well have some fun.

Suddenly, Qian Xunji turned around and realized that he had killed key figures such as Tang Hao, Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, and Tang Chen.

"Tsk, how could he die so quickly?" Qian Xunji was speechless. He hadn't even exerted his full strength!

At this moment, Qian Daoliu walked into the Pope Palace. Seeing Qian Xunji regain his wisdom and no longer displaying his previous divine indifference, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this son is infuriating, he's still my son.

"Is something the matter?" Qian Xunji looked up and asked in confusion.

They were a loving father and son, and Qian Daoliu usually tried to stay away from them. If he took the initiative to come looking for him, it must be because he had something to say.

These words instantly brought Qian Daoliu, who had initially wanted to show some concern, to his senses. This rebellious son didn't need any attention.

"Are you really prepared to be an enemy of the entire continent?" Although Qian Xunji's actions over the years had been secretive, Qian Daoliu had eventually discovered them.

This seemingly dim-witted son harbored ambitions to dominate the continent, which once made Qian Daoliu doubt the authenticity of the information and wonder if someone was framing his foolish son. However, the results of multiple investigations told Qian Daoliu that this was the truth.

Qian Xunji is incredibly ambitious!

"What nonsense are you spouting, old man? How could I possibly be an enemy of the entire continent?" Qian Xunji retorted disdainfully.

Qian Daoliu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief...

Qian Xunji's next words stunned him.

"The entire continent is clearly against me!"

Qian Xunji's eyes were full of seriousness.

"..."

Qian Daoliu didn't speak, but just silently looked at Qian Xunji. Sure enough, it was still that familiar feeling.

"What will you do with them?" If it were anyone else sitting in the Pope seat, Qian Daoliu wouldn't have asked this question, but since it was Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but ask, wanting to prepare himself mentally in advance.

He feared that his rebellious son would go mad and kill all those people.

"Of course, kill them!" Qian Xunji couldn't understand why Qian Daoliu would ask such a stupid question.

"That would kill a lot of people!"

"The enemy is the one who died!"

"The war will spread across the entire continent and involve many innocent people."

Qian Xunji's eyes were filled with confusion. "Do we even need a war to kill such a weak opponent?"

Qian Daoliu choked again.

It may sound arrogant, but it's the truth!

The power that Qian Xunji used to kill Tang Chen last time was enough to crush the entire continent.

If one could become a god, both great empires could surrender immediately.

Qian Daoliu silent, but Qian Xunji had something to say, "Grandpa, if you could reach level 100 and become a god, would Bo Saixi stay with you?"

Qian Xunji was genuinely curious; Tang Chen had already been killed by him.

Will the Sea God priest keep his promise to be with Qian Daoliu, or will he break his promise to remain chaste for Tang Chen?

Qian Daoliu did not answer, but turned and left the Pope Palace. With Bo Saixi's pride, she had already chosen Tang Chen, so how could she possibly submit to him?

If one were to force oneself to become a god, the outcome would inevitably be extremely tragic...

This is in the Dragon Realm, adrift in the universe.

A gigantic, round, and translucent silkworm trembled in fear, surrounded by a group of dragon souls, who took whatever they wanted.

As "takeout," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was packaged up and brought to the Dragon Realm by Di Tian.

This lucky Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which had eaten a bunch of Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow and woke up to become a million-year-old Soul Beast, was unfortunately captured by Di Tian and turned into an experience pack. It felt only despair.

It's so hopeless. He's either being drained by Ferocious Beast or by a group of the Dragon Clan. He'll be drained dry sooner or later.

The golden dragon would also occasionally do some strange things to me, claiming it was some kind of research.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm just wants to cry; it's too painful.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, it at least had a sliver of hope of escape, but now, in this self-contained Dragon Realm, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is truly in despair.

Donghuang Taiyi was studying the physique of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Its cultivation was all obtained by consuming Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, and its potential as Soul Beast had not been developed at all.
