The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life Make Me Their Godson-My Godparents Are God Kings!
Xiao Chenyu had laid out two plans of action against Tang San.
Plan one: sit by the stump and wait for the rabbit to run into it—let Tang San come to him.
Plan two: take the initiative and give him a big, warm welcome.
The Chat Group fell silent for a few seconds. Then a message popped up.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Well, this is a tricky one... Each option has its pros and cons.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: In theory, before his wings have fully grown, Tang San is at his most vulnerable.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: He hasn't even awakened his Martial Soul yet. He's still just a little brat who only knows how to swing a hammer!
[Man Faced Demon Spider]: Beat him up! Now! Right now! Let's go!
[God of Destruction]: No.
[God of Destruction]: Tang San is the child of destiny. Since we can't kill him, there's no need to rush.
[God of Destruction]: Rather than hurrying to beat him up just to vent, we should cut off his escape routes at the root—steal his opportunities, take his path, and leave him nowhere to go!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Oh? Good idea! (✧ω✧)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: I know all the opportunities Tang San will come across in the future, and all the treasures he'll obtain!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: If the Avenger gets to them first... Tang San's growth will inevitably slow down by a lot!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Then let's see what he can use to become a god, hahaha!
[Goddess of Life]: Xiao Zi's idea is very good.
[Goddess of Life]: Steal his opportunities and cut off his support. That's the most effective way to weaken the fortune of a child of destiny.
[Goddess of Life]: Rather than clashing head-on, it's better to pull the rug out from under him.
Xiao Chenyu's eyes lit up, and his thoughts immediately opened up.
As expected, these big shots had plenty of experience when it came to dealing with Tang San.
He typed rapidly.
[Xiao Chenyu]: In short, we steal his opportunities, wreck his image, steal his wife, and strip away his fortune!
[Xiao Chenyu]: Four-pronged attack, hitting him from every angle!
[Man Faced Demon Spider]: Steal! Steal! Steal! Hahahaha! Make Tang San furious! Furious! Furious!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: So ruthless, hahaha! (≧∀≦)
[God of Destruction]: Kill him in body and mind.
[Goddess of Life]: ...Steal his wife?
[Goddess of Life]: You mean Xiao Wu?
[Xiao Chenyu]: Uh, ahem.
[Xiao Chenyu]: I just said it without thinking, really. I only said it to make the line rhyme.
Xiao Chenyu slapped himself across the mouth.
Damn it.
He'd blurted out a dirty joke and forgotten that the dignified, elegant Goddess of Life was in the group.
It was like swearing in front of an elder. The embarrassment was off the charts.
[Goddess of Life]: Sigh, Tang San has also deeply bewitched and brainwashed Xiao Wu.
[Goddess of Life]: If possible, help her break free of Tang San's control too, and set her on a path that truly belongs to her.
[Xiao Chenyu]: ???
Xiao Chenyu stared at the Goddess of Life's message, his face strange.
Wait.
Did that mean—
[Xiao Chenyu]: Are you... agreeing that I should steal Tang San's wife?
[Goddess of Life]: No, I'm saying you should save her!
[Goddess of Life]: Whatever you choose to make of that is your problem. Of course, that doesn't stop you from extending the idea to Tang San's mother and friends.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: ...
[God of Destruction]: ...
[Xiao Chenyu]: ...
"Yikes!!!"
Good grief.
So the Goddess of Life was the most ruthless one of all!
Was this the legendary gentle knife?
He'd learned something today.
Xiao Chenyu quickly changed the subject. He couldn't keep racing down this dangerous track.
[Xiao Chenyu]: By the way, you two... Ahem, you two big shots.
[Xiao Chenyu]: I have two Martial Souls now. Which one should I prioritize cultivating? Any advice?
[Goddess of Life]: I recommend cultivating the Destruction Demon Wolf King Martial Soul first.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Any particular reason?
[God of Destruction]: There are no Soul Beasts with the Destruction attribute on Douluo Continent, but there are powerful Soul Beasts with the Life attribute.
[God of Destruction]: Xiao Lu thinks your Life-attribute Martial Soul has greater potential on Douluo Continent.
[God of Destruction]: Of course, I agree with her judgment.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Ta-da! The Douluo Encyclopedia has arrived~ (。•̀ᴗ-)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: I can confirm it! Soul Beasts with the Destruction attribute have gone completely extinct on Douluo Planet.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: That's because the Destruction attribute is too destructive, making it difficult for young Soul Beasts to be born.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Soul Beasts with the lower-tier Annihilation attribute still exist, though. They're called Rouge Dragons, but they're extremely rare.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: As for powerful Soul Beasts with the Life attribute, there are plenty to choose from!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: For example, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, a five-hundred-thousand-year Emerald Swan, and even all kinds of Immortal Herbs of heavenly-treasure quality!
Xiao Chenyu suddenly understood.
There were no powerful Soul Beasts with the Destruction attribute on Douluo Continent, but there were quite a few top-tier Soul Beasts with the Life attribute.
All things considered, the Life God Spider Emperor had greater potential on Douluo Continent. Its future looked bright.
So the right strategy was to cultivate the Destruction Demon Wolf King first and build a solid foundation.
Then, when the opportunity came, he could have the Life God Spider Emperor absorb a much stronger Life-attribute Soul Ring.
Perfect.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Got it.
[Xiao Chenyu]: But since there are no Soul Beasts with the Destruction attribute on Douluo Continent, how am I supposed to cultivate the Destruction Demon Wolf King Martial Soul?
[God of Destruction]: You only need to absorb Soul Beasts with especially powerful destructive force.
[God of Destruction]: For example, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Evil Orca King, the Titan Giant Ape, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear... and others like them.
[God of Destruction]: Also, once the Chat Group's permissions are upgraded, you can obtain the source of Destruction directly from me. By then, your Destruction attribute will naturally undergo a further transformation.
[Goddess of Life]: I can give you the source of Life too~
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Ohohoho! By then, Avenger, you might possess both the Life and Destruction godhoods!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: That's two God King-level godhoods! Excited? Thrilled? ⸜(>ᰔ<)⸝
[Man Faced Demon Spider]: Become a god! Amazing! Keep it up! Beat Tang San!
"!!!"
Xiao Chenyu's eyes widened.
His pupils trembled.
"Holy crap... I have reason to suspect the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction are dangling a carrot in front of me."
He murmured to himself.
But—
"This carrot smells so damn good!"
The godhoods of Life and Destruction!
That meant the power of two God Kings!
And Destruction and Life could even fuse into the legendary power of Creation.
It was said to surpass the God King level, approaching or even reaching the level of the Creator God.
Power on par with the Dragon God!
Even more formidable than Tang San's dual godhoods of the Sea God and Asura!
What did that mean?
It was like everyone else was still taking their driving tests while he was already piloting a giant robot.
"Gulp!"
Xiao Chenyu swallowed, then typed into the group with trembling fingers.
[Xiao Chenyu]: @God of Destruction, @Goddess of Life.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Um... you two big shots.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Are you taking godsons?
[God of Destruction]: ???
[Goddess of Life]: Pfft! ( ̄y▽ ̄)~* covers her mouth and giggles
[Goddess of Life]: Child, you really are funny.
[Goddess of Life]: But Xiao Zi and I don't have any children. It's always been a regret of ours. If you want, you can call me Mom~
Xiao Chenyu stared at the message, stunned for a second.
Then—
[Xiao Chenyu]: Mom!!!
Without hesitation.
With utter confidence.
As if! This was his God King godmother!
Forget being her godson—even becoming her godbrother would be a deal that could only make him money!
[God of Destruction]: Xiao Lu...
The God of Destruction's feelings were obviously complicated.
The sources of Life and Destruction repelled each other. As a result, although he and Xiao Lu had loved each other for countless years, they had never been able to have a child of their own.
It was a lifelong regret for him and Xiao Lu, and their deepest sorrow.
[Goddess of Life]: Xiao Zi, from today on, Xiao Chenyu is our godson! (。•̀ᴗ-)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Avenger, hurry up and call him Godfather!
[Xiao Chenyu]: Godfather!
[God of Destruction]: ...
[God of Destruction]: I understand.
Seeing that the Goddess of Life had made the decision outright, the God of Destruction could only nod obediently.
For some reason, the scene gave Xiao Chenyu a strong sense of déjà vu.
It was just like his father, Xiao Chengkun, in front of his mother.
Even though his mother was perfectly ordinary, his father was still completely henpecked.
"The God of Destruction seems like a henpecked husband in the Divine Realm too."
Xiao Chenyu silently lit a candle for him.
The God King of Destruction. The Divine Realm's Enforcer. An imposing figure.
But in front of his wife, he instantly turned into a giant dog.
That contrast was unbeatable.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Congratulations to the Goddess of Life and the God King of Destruction on the birth of their son, hahaha!
[Man Faced Demon Spider]: Congratulations! Congratulations!
[Xiao Chenyu]: Ahem, since this is a family reunion, shouldn't I get a red packet?
The group fell silent for three seconds.
[Goddess of Life]: Well... I'm sorry, child, but we can't do that right now.
[Goddess of Life]: The red packet feature is restricted by the Chat Group's permissions. The beginner's gift we gave you earlier was already the most support we could offer at the moment.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: There's nothing we can do. Those are the rules, and there's only so much we echoes can do.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: But I do have a surprise for you! (*σ´∀`)σ
[Xiao Chenyu]: Oh? What surprise?
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Hehe, you're going to hunt your First Soul Ring, right? Follow my instructions to hunt in the Soul Hunting Forest, and you'll find out what the surprise is.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Anything made by this baby is guaranteed to be top quality! I promise you won't be disappointed!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Oh, and Avenger, a friendly reminder: even though you have Twin Martial Souls now, you'd better strengthen your body some more.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Otherwise, if the Soul Ring's energy kills you, I'll definitely—laugh! At! You! For! The! Rest! Of! Your! Life! Hehe (˙³˙)
[Xiao Chenyu]: ...
[Xiao Chenyu]: Is that a blessing or a curse?
[Will of Douluo Planet]: It's a loving push~ (•́ω•̀)
Xiao Chenyu rolled his eyes.
"This Will of Douluo Planet is way too mischievous. I wonder who taught her."
He complained to himself, then closed the Chat Screen.
He stood up and stretched his limbs.
His bones crackled, and a sense of power unlike anything he'd ever felt before filled his entire body.
Every cell in his body was shouting with excitement.
Twin Martial Souls.
Top-tier talent.
A whole group of god-level powerhouses from the future backing him up.
A God King godfather and godmother watching over him.
This setup still couldn't quite measure up to Tang San, the walking child of fortune.
But it wasn't far off!
The gap had gone from "an uncrossable chasm" to "a distance he could catch up across."
Xiao Chenyu raised his head and gazed at the sky.
"Tang San, oh, Tang San."
"I'd wanted to beat you up ever since I read the novel."
The corners of his mouth curved into a brilliant smile.
"Now that Heaven's giving me the chance, I won't hold back."
"Let's see how you like being crushed by fate—are you ready?"
He turned and strode toward the City Lord Mansion, his steps filled with more confidence than ever before.
He pushed open the door.
Then bellowed at the top of his lungs.
"Dad—!"
His booming voice echoed over the entire City Lord Mansion.
Xiao Chengkun was holding a bowl of tea. The shout nearly made him spill it all over himself.
"What is it, what is it? Is there a fire, or have bandits broken in?"
Xiao Chenyu strode up to his father, planted his hands on his hips, and puffed out his chest.
"Dad, I'm going to the Soul Hunting Forest!"
Xiao Chengkun froze. "What for? It's full of Soul Beasts, and you're so scrawny—wait, Yu'er, you're at level ten!"
"Your son's about to become a genius!"
Xiao Chenyu cut him off, flashing a brilliant eight-toothed grin.
"Starting today—"
He stuck out his thumb and pointed it at his own chest.
"I, Xiao Chenyu, am the coolest kid in Nuoding City!"
