The God of Destruction Who Answered Every Question

Su Chen's home was ordinary, no different from the houses of the other villagers.

After returning home, Su Chen lay beneath the eaves to cool off while the other children got busy.

Some lit the fire, while others chopped vegetables.

Children from poor families grew up early and could all do some work. That ambitious girl had not been boasting, either.

The deftness with which she cleaned that fish showed that her cooking skills were not bad.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes contentedly, his right hand rubbing the droplet-shaped Pendant on his chest.

This Pendant had been left behind by his parents, who had passed away early. He did not know whether it was a family heirloom or something bought in the city.

Su Chen thought its design looked nice, and it had the warm, smooth feel of jade, so he had always worn it.

Suddenly, the Pendant on his chest glimmered faintly.

"Child, you are the hope that will change everything."

A majestic voice suddenly echoed in Su Chen's mind, making him bolt upright.

Good grief, was his home haunted in broad daylight?

Fortunately, Su Chen's mind was not truly that of a six-year-old. He swiftly lowered his head to look at the Pendant on his chest.

"Se... Senior, are you inside the Pendant?"

Whether it was a person or a ghost, calling it Senior could not go wrong, could it?

That majestic voice sounded again:

"You may think of it that way."

Su Chen took off the Pendant and examined it carefully.

He had worn it for years, yet he had never noticed anything unusual about it.

Besides, this was Douluo Continent, not Battle Through the Heavens. Why had an old grandpa suddenly appeared inside his Pendant?

But Su Chen was not delighted by this.

Who knew whether this fellow was a Yao Lao who wished to teach him, or some old monster plotting to possess his body?

"Um, Senior, may I ask what you want with me?"

"Your talent is exceptional and should not be wasted. I can give you the finest guidance and help you grow to heights beyond your imagination."

"My talent?"

"That's right. Twin Martial Souls may be rare, but they cannot escape my eyes. A spear and a shield, both of exceptional quality—your Twin Martial Souls are quite interesting."

Su Chen fell silent for a moment.

He had not told anyone else that he possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Yet having them identified at a glance gave Su Chen a strange sense of déjà vu.

Could this unknown Senior be neither a renowned teacher like Yao Lao nor an old monster seeking possession, but rather a "master" like Yu Xiaogang?

In the God Realm, the God of Destruction's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Your two Martial Souls conflict in essence, causing your Innate Soul Power to fall short of level ten. However, their conflict is not absolute. Rather, they exist in a state of mutual generation and mutual restraint."

"Otherwise, you would not even possess level-five Innate Soul Power. Either your Innate Soul Power would be zero, or you would not awaken Martial Souls at all."

The God of Destruction was greatly puzzled. A Soul Master with such talent should have had a considerable chance of becoming a god. Why had he not been among those from Douluo Continent who became gods in his previous life?

But then again, with Tang San on Douluo Continent, nothing was strange.

Tang San must have taken every opportunity for himself, then dragged a whole bunch of connected people along to become gods.

Perhaps this Su Chen had his fortune stolen away and either faded into obscurity or died prematurely.

"Damn Tang San."

As the God of Destruction lavishly "praised" Tang San, Su Chen asked the Pendant:

"Senior, may I ask who you are?"

The "Senior" had stated the characteristics of Twin Martial Souls in a single breath. Su Chen felt that, no matter what, this Senior had to be better than Yu Xiaogang.

"My name is Destruction! I am one of the five great God Kings of the God Realm."

The God of Destruction had no intention of concealing his identity and stated it outright.

Su Chen: ...

Honestly, he suspected he had encountered a scammer.

I am Qin Shi Huang! Send money!

Did Douluo Continent have scams like that too?

Still, no one on Douluo Continent should pretend to be the God of Destruction, right? After all, not many people even knew that gods truly existed, much less the God of Destruction.

If he claimed to be the Angel God, at least more people would have heard of that.

"Um, Senior Destruction, since you're a god, why aren't you staying in the God Realm? Why seek out a child like me, who only awakened his Martial Soul not long ago?"

Su Chen was only half-convinced of the God of Destruction's identity.

He truly could not think of why the God of Destruction would seek him out. Was it merely because he was talented?

"The God Realm will face a tremendous crisis in the future. I need your strength."

Putting everything else aside, Su Chen was quite surprised by this God of Destruction's willingness to answer every question.

Regardless of whether what he said was true, at least he was willing to answer instead of being cryptic or simply saying nothing.

As for the God Realm crisis the God of Destruction mentioned, the only thing Su Chen could think of was the Space-Time Turbulence tens of thousands of years later.

But if this man truly was the God of Destruction, how could he foresee a crisis tens of thousands of years in the future? That did not seem quite reasonable.

"Senior Destruction, you said it was a crisis of the God Realm. I'm not even a Soul Master yet, so how could I possibly help you?"

"That is why I will nurture you and help you become strong quickly."

The God of Destruction keenly felt that time waited for no one. To a god like him, several decades were merely an instant.

If he did nothing, Tang San would practically become a god in the blink of an eye.

Before Su Chen could ask any further questions, the God of Destruction said:

"I will now impart a meditation method to you. Study it well and accelerate your cultivation."

As he spoke, an abstruse ripple emerged from the Pendant.

Su Chen felt his mind buzz, and he nearly lost consciousness.

He did not know how long had passed. Perhaps it was an instant, or perhaps an eternity, but Su Chen "saw" a strange scene.

Two magnificent energies intertwined, evolving into two utterly different laws.

Su Chen's realm was far too low to comprehend this wondrous sight, yet he vaguely felt that these two energies represented life and Destruction.

After an unknown length of time, the two endlessly entwined energies finally stabilized.

The two energies transformed respectively into a towering tree and a mass of purple spherical liquid.

Then Su Chen's vision blurred. When he opened his eyes, he was still in front of his home.

"Su Chen, the meal is ready."

The children called out from inside the house.

"Su Chen..."

"Coming."

Su Chen shook his head in a daze. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream.

When he slowly rose to his feet, he was astonished to discover that his Soul Power had already risen by one level.

"Senior Destruction, are you still there?"

Su Chen asked the Pendant.

"First, cultivate using the meditation method I gave you. I'll go find a suitable spear technique for you. Besides Soul Power, your offensive methods need to keep up as well."

With that, the God of Destruction went offline.

There were quite a few gods in the God Realm who used spears. During the great war of the God Realm, a god with an exceptionally unique spear technique had fallen. His inheritance seemed to still remain, so the God of Destruction had to go look for it.

Su Chen: ...

Was he really not hallucinating?

Otherwise, how could a god who spoke so pleasantly, answered every question, voluntarily imparted cultivation methods, and even planned ahead for his future come knocking at his door?

If this was a trap, the bait was far too tempting.

Besides, he had nothing worth coveting, did he?

"Brother Su Chen."

"Coming, coming."

Since things had come to this, he might as well eat first.
