Kindness God King glanced at Evil God King, a sly glint flashing briefly in her eyes.
"Evil, you already have an heir. I'm truly envious."
"Alas!"
"Thinking back to those days, we helped each other through everything. Countless years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now you're leaving the Divine Realm too, leaving me, your old friend, all alone here."
As Evil God King listened to Kindness God King, his brow furrowed more and more.
He and Kindness God King had been friends for countless years. They might not know absolutely everything about each other, but they came close.
"Kindness, get to the point. What are you after?"
Hearing Evil God King's words, Kindness God King revealed a look of triumph.
"Evil, let's make a deal. You already have an heir, but I still haven't found anyone to inherit my godhood. Have your heir help me find someone."
Evil God King looked at Kindness God King in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Kindness, do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"A God King's position! Do you think it's an ordinary Third-Level God or Second-Level God position? Yours is a God King's position. Don't you know how high the requirements are for an heir?"
"The Law of Kindness and the Essence of Kindness—those are the two requirements. Tell me, can you get around them?"
Kindness God King's expression shifted slightly, then she snorted.
"Evil, are you saying you don't consider me a friend? Do you really think I don't know what you've been up to?"
"Don't forget, you're Evil, and I'm Kindness. We're opposites, yet connected. Do you think I wouldn't know whether anyone in the lower realm has comprehended the Essence of Evil or grasped the Law of Evil?"
Listening to Kindness God King, Evil God King glanced at the empty space around them, cold sweat unconsciously trickling down his face.
"Kindness, shut up. Don't talk nonsense. My godhood inheritance is proceeding normally."
"Ahem!"
"You want to pass on your godhood, right? I'll have my heir find someone suitable for you later."
While Evil God King and Kindness God King chatted in the palace, on Douluo Planet, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—
Qin Tian slowly came to, his eyes clouded with confusion. He looked at the scenery around him, unable to make sense of it for a moment.
"Where am I?"
"No, wasn't I deep inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? The dragon corpses—where are the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' bodies?"
Qin Tian stared at the empty ground. He clearly remembered that before he passed out, there had been two dragon corpses here.
The Water Dragon King's and Fire Dragon King's bodies had been right there in plain sight. How could such enormous corpses have just disappeared?
Just as he was wondering about this, his divine soul was drawn into a strange space.
"Inheritor, I am one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm, the God Realm Enforcer. Are you willing to inherit my godhood?"
Hearing the voice beside him, Qin Tian looked at the phantom not far away, his heart surging with shock.
A godhood inheritance—and a God King's inheritance at that. Evil God King had come looking for him just like that?
Why had he plotted to get the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? Wasn't it to secure Evil God King's inheritance?
Now that Evil God King had come to him, even the slightest hesitation would be a betrayal of himself.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered creating his own godhood, but the difficulty was so great that he might as well forget it.
Besides, even if he succeeded in creating his own godhood, how powerful could he become?
As a newly ascended god, no matter how strong he was, could he really surpass a God King?
He had to remember: his enemy was a God King, one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm—and the God Realm Enforcer, Asura God King.
Only a God King could stand against a God King.
Evil God King was his target. It wasn't that he hadn't considered Destruction God King, Life God King, or Kindness God King, but Destruction God King was focused on strengthening the Divine Realm, and the positions of Life God King and Kindness God King truly didn't suit him.
Life God King was, as the name suggested, connected to life. As for Kindness God King, Qin Tian had to admit he had nothing to do with kindness.
Qin Tian understood that he had to act as if he knew nothing. After all, no one knew anything about the Divine Realm. Even those with a godhood inheritance knew very little.
"Lord God King, compared to Angel God, who is stronger?"
"Angel God?"
"Little fellow, do you know what a God King is?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian obligingly shook his head, showing that he didn't know what a God King was.
"A God King is the king of the gods, the ruler of the Divine Realm."
"Within the Divine Realm, a God King is an exalted being, the strongest among the gods."
"Little fellow, you don't know how the gods of the Divine Realm are ranked. Very well, I'll explain a little."
"The gods of the Divine Realm are divided into divine officials, Third-Level Gods, Second-Level Gods, First-Level Gods, and God Kings."
"The Angel God you mentioned is a First-Level God, while I am a God King. So tell me—which of us is stronger?"
Though Qin Tian already knew all this, he could only play dumb for now.
"Lord God King, as you said, once I inherit your godhood, won't I be stronger than Angel God?"
"Lord God King, I'm willing to accept the inheritance."
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Evil God King nodded in satisfaction.
He believed no one could refuse him. After all, he was a God King.
"Angel God was indeed exceptional, with great potential. Unfortunately, she died."
"Little fellow, since you're willing to accept the inheritance, you must undergo my trials. Once you pass them, you may inherit my God King godhood."
As he spoke, Evil God King pointed a finger. Divine power of evil flowed from his fingertip and settled on Qin Tian, finally forming a set of scales between his brows.
The scales were none other than Evil God King's Super Divine Artifact, the Judgment Balance.
"Lord God King, you just said Angel God died. What did you mean?"
Evil God King looked at Qin Tian. Qin Tian was now his heir, so he naturally answered his questions.
"Angel God died a thousand years ago. Back then, she had already reached the Half-Step God King realm. Unfortunately, during the God King Tribulation..."
Listening to Evil God King, Qin Tian now understood. Angel God really was dead.
"Little fellow, we'll begin your Nine Trials of the God King now."
"First Trial of the God King: Defeat a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast by yourself within one year!"
"Pass the trial, and your Soul Ring's age will increase by three thousand years and your Soul Power will rise by one level. Fail, and you will be eliminated!"
Hearing Evil God King lay out the First Trial of the God King, Qin Tian couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Lord God King, is the first trial really this difficult? I'm only a level-sixty Quasi-Soul Emperor right now. Isn't this a bit too hard?"
"Ahem!"
"Lord God King, could you grant me a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring in advance, so I can break through first? Otherwise, I..."
Qin Tian swallowed his pride and asked Evil God King for a benefit. After all, as the heir to a God King, he was about to undergo the Nine Trials of the God King. Surely Evil God King wouldn't actually leave him unable to pass.
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Evil God King laughed.
"Hahahaha!"
"Good, good, good! Little fellow, you're right up my alley. I admire how shameless you are."
Evil God King had already planned to grant Qin Tian a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring and help him break through. Since Qin Tian had asked for it himself, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Besides, Qin Tian asking for it and Evil God King granting it of his own accord were two entirely different things.
