Yet just as Qian Renxue left, Tang San, who had already fallen to the ground, suddenly resurrected, and his body surged with Asura Power.
"Hahaha, Qian Renxue, escape death and you are bound to be blessed. Once I return as a god, I will certainly take your dog's life."
Indeed, Asura violated his agreement with Shangguan Li and still chose to help Tang San. After all, if Tang San did not inherit the Asura God position, his ten-thousand-year grand plan could not be implemented.
More importantly, what if Bibi Dong inherited the god position and her other personality awakened? His status in the Divine Realm accumulated over so many years would be wiped out, and such painstaking planning would also vanish.
"Tang San, you must remember. Never go provoke Qian Renxue again. Slaughter her only after you finish inheriting the god position, or even I won't be able to save your life."
Ah, didn't Asura God risk his life to save Tang San precisely for his own ten-thousand-year grand plan? He did it to absorb the power of the Abyss Plane and elevate his own strength.
At the same time, he would not lose his control over the Divine Realm. Once the other God Kings passed on all their god positions, he would use his split soul Tang San to return to the Divine Realm. In this way, he would be the sole overlord of the Divine Realm, and whether it was the Divine Realm Center or all the power of the Divine Realm, everything would submit to him.
"I know, Lord Asura God, but..." Tang San's hate-filled eyes were simply impossible to ignore. He hated Qian Renxue far too much; Qian Renxue had killed Xiao Wu and his father, while her father had killed his own mother. As long as he, Tang San, lived for even a single day, he would never forget his hatred for the Qian Clan.
The departing Qian Renxue felt immensely gratified at having slain Tang San, and she quickly broke through her state of mind, entering the secret realm of the Angel God Trial.
Entering the secret realm simultaneously meant that Spirit Hall had lost a powerful force. Qian Daoliu's sacrifice was made to open the path to godhood for Qian Renxue.
"No, Grandfather, please don't leave me. Lord Shangguan, I beg you, save Grandfather."
Yet Shangguan Li was in the Divine Realm now, so she naturally could not hear Qian Renxue's cries. Amidst the sorrow of losing a loved one, Qian Renxue opened the path to godhood.
Although Bibi Dong, who had obtained the Asura God trials, was already a god candidate at this moment, her entire person was in a state controlled by Asura.
She was monitoring Qian Renxue's every move on Tang San's behalf. As long as Qian Renxue became a god, Bibi Dong would become Qian Renxue's greatest enemy after the latter ascended.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Li was sorting out Asura's soul, or rather, she was awakening the personality of the godhead within Asura's body.
Originally, Shangguan Li wanted to hand this task over to Bibi Dong, but Asura simply refused to give up. If things were left unchecked, he might...
Although Shangguan Li had already told Qian Renxue to hurry up and slay Tang San, given Asura's temperament, he might manage to rescue Tang San even if the man were already dead, all to complete his own conspiracy.
That being the case, it wouldn't matter even if Shangguan Li were expelled from the plane by the external forces due to using too much power this time. After all, she was not on Douluo Planet right now, but in the Divine Realm; the Divine Realm governed multiple worlds, so exerting formidable power posed no real problem.
To awaken the personality within the Asura Godhead, Shangguan Li specially used the Creation Power-the combined divine power of life and destruction. The Creation Power radiated a golden-green glow, transforming into a wisp of golden-green thread that coiled around the Asura Godhead.
The Asura Godhead was a blackish-red diamond-shaped gem. Because Asura ruled over slaughter, this godhead was filled with pure killing intent devoid of any malice.
Just because this Creation Divine Power wrapped around the Asura Godhead, the power radiated by the Asura Godhead grew increasingly vast, causing Asura's body to curl up tightly.
Asura desperately guarded his brain, because the brain was the location of the godhead. Yet the Asura Godhead was stimulated by the divine power of Creation, making Asura's power impossible to suppress as it had been before.
The entire Asura God Temple began radiating Asura God's divine power in all directions, attracting the attention of all the Divine Mansions in the Divine Realm, yet none could approach the Asura God Temple due to Asura God's tyrannical might.
"God of Evil, what on earth is going on?"
This deity was the leader of the Divine Realm, the God of Evil who wielded the Divine Realm Center.
Yet even the God of Evil did not know why the Asura God Temple had undergone such a drastic transformation. Furthermore, wasn't this surge of divine power Asura's own strength? Could Asura have suffered a deviation in cultivation?
If Asura truly suffered a cultivation deviation, then he could not simply stand by and do nothing. "Destruction, come with me inside to see what game Asura is playing."
Yes, the reason he sought Destruction instead of goodness wasn't merely for the God of Evil's selfish desires-he wanted to protect his wife, sparing her from seeing the horrifying scene of Asura suffering a cultivation deviation.
At the same time, it also satisfied Destruction's dark sense of humor. In the Divine Realm, who didn't know that the God of Destruction and Asura were mortal enemies? Being able to witness Asura's miserable end made the God of Destruction quite happy.
Yet they both guessed wrong. When the two of them stepped inside, what they saw was not a berserk Asura, but an Asura collapsed on the ground, shouting in continuous agony.
"Asura, what is wrong with you?" Though Destruction looked down on Asura, he knew Asura's capabilities well. How could someone so powerful turn out like this? Such a piteous state didn't look like a cultivation deviation at all.
Destruction shifted his gaze toward Evil, wanting to ask Evil what was going on, but Evil also wore a blank expression, having no idea what had happened to Asura.
"There's no other way, we can only forcefully awaken Asura's consciousness." Although doing this might damage Asura's foundation, for beings who had reached their level of realm, even a damaged foundation could be recovered in a mere century.
Thus, the two sat cross-legged, placing Asura between them. Their hands pressed against Asura's palms to channel divine power into him.
Yet this awakening ritual failed, because what caused Asura's current state was not an external force, but his own power-or rather, the personality he had always been fighting against.
"Why are you occupying my body? Who on earth are you?" Asura roared. He had remained dormant ever since his birth; had it not been for Shangguan Li's power waking him, he might never have been able to wake up.
Asura panicked. It was said that the personality born from a godhead was the best master of that god position, but because he was not the personality born from the Asura Godhead, he didn't have absolute mastery over Asura's power.
If this Asura fought him seriously, the only thing awaiting him was certain death-no, perhaps an end even more tragic than death, where his reputation would be ruined and his soul shattered.
"I... I merely took temporary charge of your body while you were asleep. You shouldn't treat me like this; if not for me, you might have died long ago."
"That still doesn't change the fact that you've used my body for so many years. Hurry up and come out with me to confess to Evil and Destruction; that way you might still retain your life."
At this moment, Asura realized that if he didn't resolve this personality named Asura right now, he was going to be ruined, body and soul alike.
"You can't do this to me! With your current power alone, can you seize the body? They are continuously pouring divine power into me right now, while you are nothing more than a stray dog."
However, Asura guessed wrong. Evil and Destruction were indeed pouring soul power into Asura's body, but the place they were channeling it into wasn't the physical body, but the Asura Godhead.
And the personality named Asura resided within the godhead, so all that power was injected directly into this personality called Asura.
"What is going on? After inputting so much power, why hasn't this Asura woken up yet? Could his inner demon be this formidable?"
Evil pondered for a moment, "Could it be just like that time? Before the Dragon God War, when he fell unconscious, he had a prophetic dream. If not for him, we wouldn't have successfully slain the Dragon God."
"Are you saying he predicted there would be a disaster in the Divine Realm?"
Since this concerned matters of the Divine Realm, Destruction would not act willfully. Moreover, Destruction had keenly noticed that there seemed to be a trace of power belonging to him and Xiao Lu within Asura's body. But both he and Xiao Lu kept their godheads within their own bodies, so why would such power appear on Asura?
Most crucially, he and Xiao Lu had no successors, making it impossible to parcel out their divine power; they didn't even have things like High Priests. So who on earth gave this divine power to Asura?
If there truly is a great disaster capable of destroying the Divine Realm, then please summon all the Divine Mansions into the Divine Realm Center right now, otherwise they will be in danger.
"I know."
Yet just as the God of Evil took out the Divine Realm Center, Asura woke up. "There is no need. I didn't have a dream, but there is something I wish to tell you both."
"Asura, what is going on here? Why did you suddenly collapse? With your strength..."
"Say no more, Evil. In truth, the person who has lived alongside you for ten thousand years was simply not me."
"What is this about?" Both the God of Evil and the God of Destruction were immensely shocked. Could Asura actually be replaced? Yet the Asura divine power on him could not be simulated, and the godhead was still safely inside that Asura's body-why claim he was replaced?
To make Evil and Destruction choose to trust him, however, Asura once more grasped both of their hands, transmitting his memories to them.
A quarter of an hour later, the memory transfer concluded. Asura wore a piteous expression. "I truly thank you both for your help this time. Without your divine power, I might not have been able to deal with that fake personality."
"Yet I must still say I am sorry; I let that fake personality escape. The fake personality has a successor in the lower realm-the very successor of the Asura God position-and he wants to pass my god position to that person."
"That person is merely his split soul." Destruction spoke with contempt. No wonder Asura had always opposed him; the Asura he thought he knew wasn't the real Asura at all, but merely a usurping clown.
"Yet as far as I know, he has two god candidates. One is Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall, and the other is a man named Tang San. Aren't these two people enemies?"
Evil gazed down at Douluo Planet, locking onto the locations of the two individuals in an instant. They zeroed in on Tang San at a glance, because Tang San's power was far too familiar-it was virtually identical to Asura's.
Yet they dared not jump to conclusions just yet, because the Asura divine power on Bibi Dong was not weak either, though for some reason the God of Evil had a gut feeling that Tang San was the fake Asura.
"It should be this man. Why not put this person named Tang San on a wanted notice? Have all the Divine Mansions who spot him report his whereabouts to us."
They were deities; they must never descend to the mortal realm to interfere with the people of Douluo Planet. Exactly for this reason, the fake Asura had been able to safely transfer himself onto Tang San.
