"Destruction, thanks."

Inside Castle of Destruction, the God of Evil sincerely thanked the God of Destruction.

If not for the God of Destruction, where would he find such a satisfactory successor?

"Enough with the empty pleasantries. Settle things with the God of Asura as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, we'll go discuss it with the God of Asura right away."

After meeting Su Chen, both the God of Evil and the God of Goodness had decided that, no matter what, they could not let this heir slip away.

Wasn't it just a matter of persuading the God of Asura?

No matter how highly he regarded Tang San, could he really refuse them even this small favor?

At worst, they could help the God of Asura find a successor with even better talent, one more suited to him.

"You'd better look after Su Chen properly. He's already the successor we've chosen, so don't lead him astray."

The God of Evil was deeply uneasy about letting the God of Destruction handle their inheritance matters.

"Since you're worried, hurry up and fulfill what you promised me. Then the successor will naturally be yours."

At this point, the God of Destruction was instead beginning to worry whether the God of Asura would compromise.

If the God of Asura truly gave up Tang San, it would certainly make it easier for him to deal with Tang San.

But if that meant handing Su Chen over completely and being unable to maintain this relationship, it seemed a little more loss than gain.

He should still trust the God of Asura.

Since he had chosen Tang San so early on, he would not give him up so easily.

The God of Destruction, who found the God of Asura extremely disagreeable, placed unprecedented trust in him at this moment.

In the lower realm, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Su Chen was just about to make himself something to eat when the God of Destruction's voice followed.

"Little Chen, take a look at your two Martial Souls."

"Martial Souls?"

Su Chen was somewhat puzzled, but he still summoned the Life-Killing Spear and the Life-Protecting Shield.

"Th-There are two more Soul Rings?"

He had originally possessed only one Soul Ring on the Life-Killing Spear, but now, both his Life-Killing Spear and Life-Protecting Shield each had an additional Soul Ring.

His Soul Power had indeed reached level twenty.

Ever since leaving Star Dou Forest, he had been slowly absorbing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy, and his Soul Power had continued to grow.

The use of the Sacred Heart Flower and Magic Rune Evil-Engraving Fruit to temper his Martial Souls had also fed back into his body.

Once the tempering of his Martial Souls was complete, his Soul Power had already broken through level twenty.

He had been wondering whether the God of Destruction had arrangements for his second Soul Ring, or whether he should choose one nearby in Sunset Forest.

Now things were perfect. There was no need to search for one; the Soul Rings were already in place.

"The two people I brought you to meet just now were the God of Evil and the God of Goodness. Like me, they are God Kings of the God Realm. Your two Soul Rings were bestowed by them."

Su Chen had already guessed as much.

Before he left, the God of Evil and the God of Goodness had held his hands. Thinking back on it now, that had definitely not been merely a display of affection.

Yet only his consciousness had gone to the God Realm.

He had not expected his consciousness to bring back two Soul Rings.

"Explore the power of these two Soul Rings yourself. Evil and Goodness are both powerful God Kings, so the Soul Rings they bestowed certainly won't be weak. Used together, they may produce some unusual effects."

The Soul Rings bestowed by the God of Evil and the God of Goodness were both golden, close to the color of hundred-year Soul Rings.

Furthermore, the first Soul Ring on his Life-Killing Spear had originally been somewhat brighter, so the second Soul Ring did not stand out even more.

This could not have been a coincidence.

The God of Evil and the God of Goodness must have done it deliberately.

They had even considered such details, ensuring that the Soul Rings they gave him would not be too conspicuous. It seemed they truly regarded him as their successor.

The God of Destruction's words confirmed this.

"You must have guessed it already. The inheritances of these two God Kings are the great surprise I told you about."

"Both God Kings chose me?"

"That's right. Your talent and performance are outstanding enough. If I hadn't stopped them, they probably would have wanted to take over your training directly."

Although there was already the precedent of Tang San shouldering both the God of Asura and Sea God positions, Su Chen was still pleasantly surprised.

Tang San might also have held two divine positions, but one was a First-Level God position, while only the other was that of a God King.

Moreover, he could only successfully control the God of Asura position by using Xiao Wu as a Scabbard.

As the successor to two God Kings, Su Chen had no need to find a Scabbard.

"I've already given you the great surprise, but you cannot slack off because of it. No matter how good your foundation is, if you fail to cherish it, you'll most likely end up drawing water with a bamboo basket."

"Rest assured, Senior Destruction. I understand."

The God of Destruction had already paved the way this far for him. If he still did not know to cherish it, then he truly would be beyond help.

Other Soul Masters could not reach Rome even in their dreams; being able to glimpse it from afar would already be remarkable.

But as for him, the God of Destruction had already arranged a school-district house for him in Rome.

No, it should be said that his name had already been added to the deed for the entire city of Rome.

"Senior Destruction, my second Martial Soul has also gained a Soul Ring. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Although Su Chen felt that his physical condition and recovery ability far surpassed those of ordinary people, and that he should be able to withstand the two Soul Rings even if they had not been bestowed by the God of Evil and the God of Goodness.

Still, asking would put his mind more at ease.

"There won't be any problems. They wouldn't fail to consider something so simple."

After clearing up Su Chen's doubts, the God of Destruction continued.

"Now that you are their successor, your training will also proceed in a different way."

The God of Destruction felt it would be best not to directly arrange benefits for Su Chen anymore.

Otherwise...

The God of Evil and the God of Goodness might seem less invested than an outsider like him, which would inevitably make them suspicious.

Since the direct approach would not work, he would use an indirect one.

In any case, he had left a divine thought under the name "Thunder God" in Dugu Bo's Sea of Consciousness.

If anything needed to be done, he could simply leave it to Dugu Bo.

For instance, there was something the God of Destruction had already noticed.

"Dugu Bo."

"Lord Thunder God, do you have an order for me?"

Dugu Bo, who was still dry-heaving and reflecting on why his Life-Taking Thirteen Porridge tasted so terrible, was suddenly pulled into his Sea of Consciousness.

If he had previously felt only reverence for Lord Thunder God, then now, beyond that reverence, he also felt great admiration and devotion.

Although the Poison Nerve Scripture had been given to him by Su Chen, its source had to be Lord Thunder God.

Follow the Thunder God, and eat nine meals a day.

Dugu Bo felt that the Thunder God was an excellent patron to follow.

Spirit Hall had worshipped the Angel God for who knew how many years. Had the Angel God ever given them something as good as the Poison Nerve Scripture?

"I want you to go somewhere and retrieve something."

It was only retrieving something. Dugu Bo had thought it was some major matter.

"Please give your orders, Lord Thunder God. Even if it were a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, I, Dugu Bo, would not furrow my brow."

"It is not a mountain of blades or a sea of fire. The place is simply a little remote."

"Lord Thunder God, may I ask where it is?"

"A certain waterfall in Fasno Province."

That was right. What the God of Destruction wanted Dugu Bo to retrieve was Ah Yin's soul bone.

Originally, the God of Destruction did not know much about Tang San's opportunities before becoming a god.

But when the God of Evil had previously asked him to observe Tang San, he had noticed Tang Hao.

He discovered that Tang Hao had gone to a cave, chatted with a Blue Silver Grass for quite some time, then pulled out a soul bone and inspected it.

The God of Destruction could not understand how Tang San's father's mind worked.

He kept the Blue Silver Grass in a damp cave, and he kept the soul bone there too.

Of course, the God of Destruction knew that it was Tang San's mother, and he could tell that the soul bone had come from Ah Yin.

Leaving these things here was practically waiting for someone to steal them.

Tang Hao would definitely give this item to Tang San in the future. To prevent it from being stolen, the God of Destruction decided to have Dugu Bo make the trip.

Although the God of Asura had not yet given Tang San to the God of Destruction, the God of Destruction had already begun thinking on Tang San's behalf.

He truly cared so much that it made one want to cry.
