The Goddess of Life smiled faintly.
A single vine contained both powerful life force and destructive power. It was simply astonishing.
"I believe he is qualified to inherit the Godhood of Destruction. I will bestow a trial upon him."
God King of Destruction said solemnly. He had been observing Zhou Tong for over ten years and had only now made up his mind.
"Xiao Zi, I also believe he is qualified to inherit the Godhood of Life. How about we bestow our trials upon him together?"
The Goddess of Life and God King of Destruction were husband and wife. She had long known what he was thinking.
"We are husband and wife, after all. It would be good to let him inherit both."
"That would also give us a chance to descend to the mortal world and conceive a child, fulfilling your wish."
God King of Destruction said.
"But if one person inherits the godhoods of the Five Great God Kings, won't that affect the balance of the Divine Realm?"
The Goddess of Life was somewhat worried.
"It's fine. I've noticed that Asura God and Sea God have grown closer in recent years."
"The two of them think they've kept their actions well hidden, secretly choosing Tang San as their successor."
"If they succeed, that's what will upset the balance of the Divine Realm."
"If this boy can inherit three godhoods, half the Divine Realm will be in his hands."
"No matter how much Sea God and Asura God stir things up, they won't be able to turn the heavens upside down."
"Besides, he has the aptitude for it. If he can inherit three godhoods, that's his own ability."
"He possesses the ultimate powers of destruction and life. He is the best possible candidate for us."
God King of Destruction said calmly.
"My successor certainly won't be weaker than Asura God."
Star Dou Forest.
Zhou Tong was working out how to get through the Fourth Trial of the Thunder God, when—
"Zhou Tong."
Suddenly, Zhou Tong heard a voice filled with immense authority and pressure.
He was still in the same enormous canyon filled with lightning.
But when he opened his eyes, it was as if he had been transported to an unfamiliar place.
Purple-black thunder that could destroy heaven and earth filled the area.
Two towering figures stood before him with their hands behind their backs.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Tong was somewhat bewildered.
"I am God King of Destruction!"
"I am God King of Life."
God King of Destruction and God King of Life turned around and gazed at Zhou Tong.
It was actually God King of Destruction and God King of Life?
Zhou Tong's heart skipped a beat. What was going on? How had absorbing a Soul Ring brought these two great figures to him?
"You needn't worry. I called you here with no ill intent."
God King of Destruction said gravely.
"Your Martial Soul has developed the ultimate power of destruction, as well as a powerful life force."
"You are qualified to inherit the position of God King of Destruction."
"Are you willing to accept the inheritance of God King of Destruction?"
God King of Destruction stood with his hands behind his back, watching Zhou Tong calmly as he waited for his answer.
Zhou Tong's thoughts churned. He had already accepted the Thunder God Inheritance. Would accepting the inheritance of God King of Destruction as well cause a problem?
"Senior God King of Destruction, I'm already a successor to the Thunder God. Can I inherit multiple godhoods at the same time?"
God King of Life finally spoke. Her appearance was dignified and noble, and she said gently, "Of course you can."
"As long as you can pass the trials, there won't be a problem."
"Besides, you already qualify to inherit the Godhood of Life. Are you willing to accept my inheritance?"
At those words, Zhou Tong was startled.
Accepting the inheritance of two God Kings at once?
And on top of that, the Thunder God Inheritance.
Zhou Tong would have three godhood inheritances.
That was truly astonishing.
However, as someone who had crossed over from another world, he knew that someone had done this before.
In the original story, Tang San had inherited the godhoods of Sea God and Asura God.
Clearly, Zhou Tong had gone further than Tang San.
If he really could obtain three godhoods, Zhou Tong's power would be almost equal to that of three God Kings.
There were five God Kings in the Divine Realm. If Zhou Tong claimed three of their godhoods, he would have an unparalleled advantage when facing Tang San in the future.
At the thought, Zhou Tong's eyes lit up.
"I'm willing to accept the inheritances of God King of Destruction and God King of Life."
Faced with such an incredible opportunity, Zhou Tong wouldn't give it up easily.
One godhood made a god; three godhoods made an even greater one!
There were differences between godhoods.
But three God King positions were unquestionably the strongest in the Divine Realm.
"Your divine trials are unusual. They will begin after you complete the Thunder God's Fourth Trial."
"But you must be careful. Accepting the inheritances of three God Kings means you are destined to walk an exceedingly arduous path."
"So the dual God King trials will be postponed."
"During this time, cultivate well and prepare yourself."
"Go. We will meet again."
God King of Destruction said in a deep voice. The next moment, the entire space began to tremble, then slowly vanished.
Not long after, Zhou Tong left the canyon and met up with Dugu Bo and the others.
"Brat, there was such a commotion inside the canyon. What kind of treasure did you get?"
Dugu Bo asked in surprise.
"Nothing much."
"I just got two lightning Soul Skills, one of which is a lightning-domain Soul Skill."
"I named it Blue Silver Forest Thunder Prison!"
Dugu Bo looked unimpressed. "Brat, let this old man see how effective your new Soul Skill is."
He stood in the middle of an open space with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and his bearing that of a great master.
"Use your strongest power. Don't hold back."
Zhou Tong nodded, his expression solemn.
The next moment, four Soul Rings slowly rose beneath his feet: one yellow, one purple, one black, and one red.
Seeing them, a hint of admiration flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. "As expected of my disciple. This Soul Ring Configuration is simply astonishing!"
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong, who were watching nearby, also drew sharp breaths when they saw Zhou Tong's new Soul Rings.
One yellow, one purple, one black, and one red.
Every single Soul Ring represented a huge leap.
Moreover, having a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as the third and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as the fourth was something even a Titled Douluo couldn't manage.
Ordinary Soul Masters could at best obtain a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for their fifth, and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings for their eighth or ninth.
Zhou Tong already had a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as his fourth.
If he added five more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings in the future, no one could imagine how terrifying their power would be.
This Soul Ring Configuration had limitless potential.
Zhou Tong had the makings of a god!
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted. He said calmly, "Zhou Tong, come on. Let this old man see how powerful your lightning is."
Sikong Zhen nodded. "Grandpa Dugu, forgive me."
The next moment, the four Soul Rings beneath his feet lit up one after another.
"First Soul Skill, Thunderbolt!"
"Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Tyrant Emperor Armor!"
"Third Soul Skill, Heavenly Punishment Thunder Pillar!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Thunder God Whip!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Forest Thunder Prison!"
"External Soul Bone, Thunder Hell Armor, activate!"
"Thunder God Wings, activate!"
"Divine Soul Skill, Fire Dragon Transformation!"
"Divine Soul Skill, Ultimate Fire!"
"Divine Soul Skill, Water Spirit Domain!"
