Destruction Learns to Keep People Guessing, Tang San Reincarnates

"Hahaha, Little Chen, you really are a genius."

After God of Destruction came back online, Su Chen heard his hearty laughter.

This was the first time Su Chen had heard God of Destruction reveal such an emotion.

Although Su Chen had never seen God of Destruction's appearance in person, he had always imagined him as a stern God King who never smiled.

The fact that even God of Destruction had laughed aloud showed just how happy he was at that moment.

"Senior Destruction, have you already mastered your divine art and found common interests with the peers you mentioned?"

"More or less. I have Little Chen's guidance to thank for that."

God of Destruction was in high spirits.

He had finally found the hardest point at which to break the deadlock.

The knot that had remained in his heart ever since his reincarnation had finally loosened considerably.

Sure enough, Su Chen was the greatest variable, as well as his greatest stroke of luck after reincarnation.

"You flatter me, you flatter me."

God of Destruction had not been ashamed to ask questions before, and now he was acting like a humble junior scholar. He was simply too modest.

Su Chen had merely offered a few suggestions, and he did not even know whether they would work.

"Senior Destruction, could you tell me what exactly you gained?"

Su Chen guessed that God of Destruction had most likely improved his relationship with the God of Goodness and the God of Evil, greatly increasing his chances of defeating the sworn enemy he had mentioned.

But Su Chen could not guess how God of Destruction had done it.

"I can't tell you that for now. Just wait. I'll definitely give you an enormous surprise."

Su Chen: ...

God of Destruction had gone bad.

Back when they had first come into contact, God of Destruction had been such a straightforward and pure-hearted God King.

Now, he actually knew how to keep people guessing and whet their appetite.

Who knew who had taught him these bad habits?

"All right, then I'll wait for your surprise."

Anything God of Destruction called a surprise was surely no ordinary thing.

"Haha, I'll definitely surprise you when the time comes. Before that, head to Star Dou Forest. There's a smaller surprise waiting for you there."

Another cliffhanger?

Su Chen really wanted to say, "Riddle-speakers, get out of Douluo Continent."

Just as Su Chen set off toward Star Dou Forest, a thrilling scene was unfolding in another, much smaller soul beast forest.

Soul Hunting Forest.

Tang San, who was absorbing the Mandala Snake's Soul Ring, suddenly shuddered violently all over.

"Pfft—"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tang San opened his eyes in confusion.

"Where is this?"

Tang San looked around in astonishment. Just a moment ago, he had been swept into the Space-Time Turbulence together with the God Realm. How had he ended up in a forest?

Tang San scanned his surroundings, and soon his gaze settled on a figure.

"Tea... Teacher?"

Distant memories surged into Tang San's mind.

The barely living figure lying on the ground over there was clearly his teacher from tens of thousands of years ago, Yu Xiaogang.

Tang San suddenly remembered something and hurriedly examined his own condition.

"Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Silver Grass... I really have returned to Douluo Continent."

"Right, this was when I obtained my first Soul Ring. This is Soul... Soul Hunting Forest."

"I actually returned to Douluo Continent? And I even returned to tens of thousands of years ago?"

"Did I die in the Space-Time Turbulence?"

"Who would have thought that after dying in the Tang Sect World and crossing over to Douluo Continent, I could be swept into the Space-Time Turbulence and still be reborn tens of thousands of years in the past? My ability to survive disasters really hasn't diminished in the slightest."

Distant memories gradually surfaced in Tang San's mind.

"L-Little San, d-did you successfully absorb your first Soul Ring?"

While Tang San was still shocked by his own experience, Yu Xiaogang's weak voice reached him.

"Teacher."

Tang San recalled that Yu Xiaogang should have been poisoned by the Mandala Snake's deadly venom at this time. If he was not treated promptly, he would likely die.

Tang San still held deep feelings for this teacher he had not seen for tens of thousands of years.

After becoming a god, he had often thought of this mentor who had taught him.

Uh... although he had not brought his teacher to the God Realm.

But he swore on the honor of God King Tang that he truly respected and loved Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.

After all, he himself had said that once a teacher, always a father.

He treated Yu Xiaogang as though he were his own father.

"Teacher, are you all right?"

Yu Xiaogang, whose face was shrouded in black qi, could no longer say a single word. His head tilted to one side, and he fainted.

"Teacher!"

Tang San hurriedly began helping Yu Xiaogang purge and neutralize the poison.

He had only just been reincarnated. His teacher could not die the moment he arrived.

But as soon as he made a few movements, Tang San frowned.

After being a god for so many years, he had not experienced this kind of weakness in a long time.

More importantly, Tang San's own condition was not good either.

When he reincarnated, he had happened to be at the critical moment of absorbing his first Soul Ring.

Amid his emotional turmoil, his body had suffered a backlash from the Soul Ring, leaving the situation inside him in terrible shape.

"What rotten luck."

Reincarnation should have been a good thing, but the timing was truly terrible. If only it had been a little earlier or a little later.

After barely removing the poison from Yu Xiaogang's body, Tang San immediately circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to nourish his internal injuries.

Only after his injuries had stabilized somewhat did he begin considering his current situation.

"I never expected God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life to die protecting the God Realm, just as I predicted, yet still fail to stop the Space-Time Turbulence."

Recalling the scene of the God Realm being swept up by the Space-Time Turbulence, Tang San still felt lingering fear.

"Could God of Destruction have been right? Only by increasing the God Realm's strength as much as possible and expanding its power could it resist the Space-Time Turbulence?"

With God of Destruction dead, the great authority of the God Realm was entirely in his hands. That should have been something to celebrate.

But if the Space-Time Turbulence could not be resolved, the God Realm would simply be swept away. Controlling its authority would be meaningless.

Tang San did not regret it too much.

After all, now that he had been reincarnated, he still had another chance to start over.

This time, he could first propose expanding the God Realm's strength to deal with the Space-Time Turbulence.

If he led the gods through the great calamity of the Space-Time Turbulence, his prestige would likewise far surpass that of the other God Kings.

As for God of Destruction, he could think of another way to deal with him when the time came.

Being swept away by the Space-Time Turbulence might even be a decent ending.

Having already lived through his previous life, Tang San felt quite relaxed.

Could his second playthrough possibly be harder than his first?

No way, right?

As long as he followed the proper course, the positions of Sea God and God of Asura would be waiting for him ahead.

Thinking of those two divine positions, Tang San hesitated again.

"Should I really continue following the trajectory of my previous life? Perhaps choosing two different divine positions would also be a good option?"

Tang San recalled how God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life had joined forces beneath the Space-Time Turbulence.

The Genesis Power formed from the fusion of Destruction Origin and Life Origin remained vivid in Tang San's memory.

If, when he clashed with God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life did not stand on his side but instead joined forces with God of Destruction, then he would most likely be the one to lose.

Tang San shook his head.

How could such a thing happen?

The Goddess of Life was reasonable and impartial. She supported what was right, not those close to her. She would never help a rebellious person like Destruction.

"Still... could the dual divine positions of God of Destruction and Goddess of Life work?"
