God King Tang San in the Memories
After all, the commotion they caused was getting bigger and bigger each time, and it was starting to pose a growing threat to him.
Even the Asura God himself had some doubts. Tang San's luck was too strange. It wasn't this strong when he chose him!
·································
Tang San felt the cold, hard ground beneath him, slowly opened his eyes, and observed his surroundings. He discovered that he was not in a familiar yet unfamiliar place, but in the center of a vast, seemingly boundless palace constructed of pure divine power.
High above the dome hang five enormous emblems; this is... the council chamber of the God Realm Committee!
Tang San's pupils contracted, filled with disbelief and a fear of not being able to accept reality!
He shouldn't be here!
Before he could recover from the extreme shock and fear, a few cold words of conversation reached his ears.
"... Directly extracting the soul and reviewing the memories is the safest approach."
Tang San recognized the voice; it was the emotionless voice of the Asura God.
"I second that. The Abyssal Sage King is ultimately a god. If he's cornered and self-destructs, he'll be a troublesome target to deal with. This mortal... is much easier to handle." The God of Destruction's tone was filled with impatience for trouble.
Even the Godess of Kindness used to be so brainless as to always shout about Goddess of Kindness, is no longer brainless and has changed his tune.
"For the safety of the Divine Realm and its subordinate planes, necessary sacrifices are worthwhile. This... is also a manifestation of Goddess of Kindness." The Godess of Kindness's voice remained gentle. In her eyes, exchanging the possible truth and the "safety" of more people was a "good deed"?
"I object!" the Life Goddess's urgent voice rang out, tinged with obvious reluctance. "To conduct a thorough search of a living being's soul without trial is itself a grave desecration of the dignity of life! Especially since his consciousness still remains..."
"Enough, Life." The God of Destruction interrupted her directly. With a slight movement of his purplish-black divine power, he gently but firmly "pressed" the Life Goddess back onto his throne in a way that was both irresistible and harmless. "The bigger picture is more important. Four against one, pass."
The minority submits to the majority.
Faced with the supreme rules of the Divine Realm and potential crises, the will and dignity of a mortal are as insignificant as a feather.
The only Life Goddess who opposed this decision was an auxiliary deity without significant combat power.
·······························
Tang San listened to all this, an overwhelming fear enveloped him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He suddenly looked up, his gaze passing over the figures radiating terrifying divine power, and locked onto the Asura God —the supreme being whose divine position he had inherited in his previous life, and whose power he held in the utmost reverence.
At this moment, the other party's scarlet eyes held only absolute indifference, as if they were looking at dust.
Once his memories are extracted... his biggest secret in this life, no, in both of his lives, will be exposed!
Reincarnation, experiences in the Tang Sect, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record... and the schemes and methods he used as a God-King in his previous life that were not to be told to outsiders... all of this will be laid bare before these gods!
These gods will tear themselves apart, no...
If the God of Destruction were to see his own "deeds," he would likely be in a state where he wished for death but could not live!
"No..." Tang San's voice was distorted with fear, "I'll confess! I'm willing to tell you everything I know! Everything about the Abyss, everything about that mysterious person, I'll tell you everything! I swear! I'm willing to serve the Divine Realm, to atone for my sins..."
His pleas for mercy, promises, and even attempts to demonstrate "value" all seemed somewhat laughable in the face of the five god-kings.
How much credibility can be found in the words of a mortal whose hands are stained with conspiracy and betrayal, whose soul has been deeply entangled with the abyss?
"Shut up." The Evil God spoke indifferently, and an invisible restraint instantly sealed Tang San's mouth and Soul Power.
The Asura God said no more, and pointed his fingers like a sword, pointing them from afar.
A beam of blood-red divine light, condensed to its extreme, ignored Tang San's futile mental resistance and the despair in his eyes, and pierced straight into his brow!
"Well--!!!"
This is an indescribable pain that directly affects the very essence of the soul.
Tang San felt as if the core of his entire being had been forcibly "opened up," and all his deep-seated, superficial, and even forgotten thoughts and images were brutally pulled out and flattened by an irresistible force.
A series of incredibly clear images began to rapidly flow and unfold in the void at the center of the God Realm Committee, from Tang San's perspective.
Initially, he was an abandoned baby, picked up by an elder of the Tang Sect sect in a snowstorm. He grew up slowly, taking on missions and killing as a Tang Sect disciple...
Despite his exceptional talent, his humble origins prevent him from ever entering the inner sect, fueling his ever-growing desire for the <Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record>...
On a clandestine night, I sneaked into the forbidden area...
When his scheme was exposed, he was surrounded and pursued by the Tang Sect elders and his fellow disciples. After a bloody battle, he escaped to the Ghostly Ghost Sorrow Cliff...
At his wit's end, facing an abyss and pursuers behind him, he gave a bitter laugh, then leaped...
Then...
The screen suddenly plunges into chaotic darkness, followed by the crying of a baby...
Reincarnation!
Seeing this, all the gods present subconsciously glanced at the composed Asura God.
Chapter 317 Tang San, the God King in My Memories
The God Realm Committee remains silent, yet undercurrents surge beneath.
The gods, of course, figured out who was the one who helped Tang San be reborn on Douluo Star with his memories intact.
Countless divine thoughts, some bright and some dark, converged from all directions of the void onto the Asura God seated on the throne.
As Tang San's original "chosen one" and a key figure in the Abyss incident, he is currently under immense pressure.
However, the Asura God's expression remained unchanged. His scarlet eyes calmly swept across the void, his gaze not sharp, but carrying the unique majesty of a god-king.
Wherever this gaze touched, the hidden spying quickly receded like a tide, daring not to overstep its bounds in the slightest.
The Asura God had anticipated this.
At this moment, everyone's attention returned to the memory scroll that was still in the void.
···········································
Initially, the gods had little interest in the mundane daily lives of mortals—awakening their Martial Soul, learning theories, and training in junior academies.
Even though Tang San in the scene displays a maturity and talent for Hidden Weapon far exceeding those of his peers, in their eyes it is nothing more than a slightly outstanding mortal experience.
However, as they watched... a sense of unease crept into the hearts of every viewer.
The Asura God was the first to notice the anomaly.
As one of the earliest God-Kings to pay attention to the "variables" in the lower realm, he was deeply impressed by Kai, who rose to prominence around the same time as Tang San.
Based on his previous observations, Kai and Tang San grew up together in the same village.
However, in Tang San's extracted memories... Kai's figure never appeared even once!
Then, more memories followed, challenging the gods' established understanding.
Yu Xiaogang was a qualified mentor who, despite some doubts about his theories, still devoted himself wholeheartedly to guiding Tang San onto the path of Soul Master.
Shrek Academy's fate was also quite different. After Yu Xiaogang's recommendation and Tang San's joining, it made great strides and became the champion academy.
In the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, there was no team from the Spirit Hall that was so terrifyingly powerful, and no disruptive figures like Kai, Li Bai, and Cai Wenji. Tang San's team seemed to "naturally" win the championship and become famous throughout the continent.
The most astonishing thing is that Tang San in the memories actually inherited the Sea God Godhood, and after that, through some special means, he also simultaneously controlled the position of the Asura God, becoming a supreme being with Dual Godhood!
The image freezes on the moment when he is clad in the Sea God Divine Armor and the armor of the Asura, holding a trident and the Asura Sword, exuding unparalleled majesty.
·····································
"This... how come the contents of Tang San's memories are completely different from what we know about what's happening in the lower realm?!" A Third-Class Deity who was particularly concerned about matters in the lower realm finally couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Although gods cannot easily interfere with the mortal realm, they do have some understanding of it due to the divine trials they undergo.
"He's become both the Sea God and the Asura God? Dual Godhood? How is that possible!" Another priest's voice was filled with disbelief and absurdity. "The attainment and bearing of divine positions is incredibly difficult! We've cultivated diligently for ten thousand years and still can't advance any further, yet he... he dares to dream of ascending to heaven in one step and simultaneously holding two top divine positions?"
"Even if it's a dream, it's still a bit too exaggerated!" The surrounding lower-ranking deities discussed among themselves, their tone filled with jealousy, suspicion, and a sense of being offended.
Most of them were only Second-Level God, Third-Level God, or even priests. They could only look up to the position of god-king and felt it was too far away. So when they saw a mortal's memories daring to "imagine" it, they naturally found it hard to accept.
·································
The five god-kings, seated high on their thrones, wore expressions of unprecedented solemnity.
Their divine senses had already repeatedly scanned, analyzed, and verified this extracted memory. The conclusion was consistent: these memory images did not reveal any obvious traces of external alteration or implantation. Their coherence, the depth of emotional imprinting, and the degree of integration with the soul all indicated that this was very likely Tang San's real experience, or at least the "past" that he firmly believed in deep within his soul.
That leaves only two chilling possibilities.
The first possibility is that there exists a terrifying being whose abilities far surpass their imagination and whose status may even exceed that of a god-king, operating in a way that they currently cannot understand or detect.
The second type... these memories are all real!
For a moment, the Asura God couldn't even tell which situation was more terrifying.
The memories above continue to play.
What followed was the content about Tang San's actions after becoming a god. As the new Asura God King and Sea God, Tang San wielded immense power.
However, Tang San did not show much prowess in the early stages, and was exceptionally honest as the new God King.
The only unusual thing is that Tang San and Xiao Wu share a divine position, which allows them to have children in succession.
To find the Butterfly God and obtain the Goddess of Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul for his daughter Tang Wutong, he planned ahead for her future divine position...
The gods nodded without much reaction. As the God-King, this privilege was nothing to them; after all, the Butterfly God was just a minor Second-Level God.
Only the Butterfly God looked grim. She set the conditions for Godhood Inheritance as the possession of the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul, intending to leave the divine position to her descendants.
Unexpectedly, there are people so shameless as to directly ask me for a God-Bestowed Martial Soul; this is no different from directly stealing a god's throne.
The memories continue.
Tang San then extracted a wisp of his daughter's soul and infused it into the body of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the mortal realm...
All the gods in the Divine Realm council hall stared wide-eyed, with the God of Destruction's eyes filled with a mixture of jealousy and disbelief.
It is difficult for gods to have offspring. Among them, the God of Destruction and the Life Goddess, a couple, are unlikely to have children because their divine positions are opposed.
Seeing Tang San's actions, these gods who had longed for children couldn't help but feel disgusted with him.
Such a young child is completely unable to control the split soul. Putting aside the dangers of an incomplete soul, even if the split soul returns to its place, the main soul and the split soul have been separated for too long, and the fusion of memories can easily lead to confusion, or even the birth of a new personality.
This is a common method used by deities to punish sinners.
However, a few calm and rational people nodded in agreement, such as the Asura God, who was the most understanding of Tang San's actions. This God King Tang San's goal should be to seize the fortune and bloodline of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
That's definitely a good idea!
If successful, the benefits to the daughter will be enormous.
