Seeing Tang San kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, Ye Chen, who was secretly controlling the Six Paths of Pain, felt immensely satisfied.

"Heh, so the future Sea God Tang San was nothing special after all. He was this easy to handle..."

A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen's lips. Was he really going to have the Hell Path devour Xiao Wu's soul? Of course not. That would make things less fun later on.

He still wanted Tang San to say that earth-shattering, ghost-weeping line: Revive, my beloved...

Hearing those words while watching the anime had shocked Ye Chen for three whole years.

"Xiao Wu can be eaten at any time. I could even eat her after she revives. Right now, completing the exclusive mission of the Uzumaki Nagato character card and unlocking the ultimate ninjutsu, Planetary Devastation, is far more important."

Under Ye Chen's control, the Deva Path of Pain slowly rose into the air. He did not let the Six Paths of Pain lose their proper sense of oppression.

Although Ye Chen could secretly mock Tang San for being an idiot, the Six Paths of Pain would forever be the representatives of gods throughout Douluo Continent.

And the true god was Ye Chen behind the scenes.

Slowly floating into the air, the Deva Path of Pain stood proudly in the sky and gazed down at Tang San with those Rinnegan eyes, speaking coldly.

"Making an enemy of a god is a foolish choice... What a god requires is devout kneeling. Tang San, if you wish to save your beloved and your companions, then show your sincerity and kneel before god..."

"God... god..."

Tang San stared blankly at the Deva Path of Pain in the sky. He could already feel that oppressive force, one even more terrifying than a Titled Douluo.

Then his gaze shifted. Seeing Xiao Wu's delicate soul body wrapped around the tongue of that enormous King Yama, yet not swallowed in a single bite, he finally saw hope. He hurriedly compromised and said urgently.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right... I, Tang San, should not have chosen to oppose a god. I pay my respects to you. I will kowtow to you. I only hope you will spare Xiao Wu... spare all my companions."

After saying that, Tang San gritted his teeth, bent down, lowered his head, and violently slammed his forehead into the ground.

"Third Brother, Third Brother, no! Don't bow your head to this guy... We can defeat him... Brother San..."

At that moment, Oscar, the only one still relatively clear-headed, cried out in despair.

But Tang San had already smashed his head hard against the ground, producing a dull thud.

If Xiao Wu is gone... what meaning would there be in fighting? This time, I absolutely cannot lose her again.

Tang San thought this, then raised his face again and fiercely slammed his head into the ground once more.

"Heh heh, Tang San... I'll accept your kowtow, but I still need you to say a few more things."

Ye Chen thought to himself. In fact, the moment Tang San used Invincible Golden Body, Ye Chen had already guessed what method Tang San intended to use.

Xiao Wu's Explosive Eight-Stage Throw in her incorporeal state was indeed powerful. In that state, she was immune to physical attacks, and even some domains were ineffective against her. Unfortunately, King Yama summoned by the Hell Path had a restraining effect on all souls...

Seeing Tang San continuing to kowtow without stopping, the Deva Path of Pain said nothing further and merely watched him coldly from the night sky.

Only when Tang San's forehead had split open and begun to bleed did the Deva Path of Pain's icy voice ring out again.

"Tang San, disrespecting a god warrants punishment... Gods created you, yet you sought to slay gods. That is the same as disrespecting the father who gave you life. Tell me... are you an unfilial son, Tang San?"

"An unfilial son? I... I..."

Though Tang San was unwilling to admit it, he did not dare argue at a time like this. He gritted his teeth, hurriedly nodded, and said.

"Yes... yes... Six Paths of Pain, I, Tang San, am an unfilial son. I know my mistake... I, Tang San, am an unfilial son. Father God, I know my mistake... I was wrong, Father. I only beg you to spare Xiao Wu. Don't make me lose her again..."

As Tang San spoke, he began kowtowing loudly against the ground again.

It was not as if he had no other methods left. If he had been alone, he would certainly have continued resisting.

But now, watching helplessly as Xiao Wu's soul was about to be swallowed and vanish forever, Tang San had long since lost the will to fight.

"Very good, Tang San. In that case, hand over the Hanhai Cosmic Shield. That is not something you should possess..."

The Hanhai Cosmic Shield? Were these people here for the Hanhai Cosmic Shield?

Tang San, who was kowtowing on the ground, suddenly became a little more clear-headed. Just as he was considering whether to hand over the Hanhai Cosmic Shield, he suddenly heard a tremendous crash.

The enormous Blue Silver Prison he had formed by exhausting half his soul power had been forcibly smashed apart by the massive Split Hound.

The Asura Path once again aimed its mechanical arm at Tang San.

Remembering the power of those missiles just now, Tang San immediately made his decision.

He hurriedly raised his head, suppressing the rage and unwillingness in his heart, and said with a sincere expression.

"Fine. I am willing to hand over the Hanhai Cosmic Shield and offer it to Father God. But you must also keep your promise and spare Xiao Wu and my companions."

After saying that, Tang San slowly reached for his Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night.

"Third Brother, Third Brother... Snow Night Great Emperor gave us that item. You absolutely cannot give it to them."

Oscar cried out again, trying to stop Tang San.

Tang San said nothing. In truth, he was extremely unwilling to surrender this soul tool, which could be called a divine artifact, but there was no other way at the moment.

Tang San understood the current situation all too well. He knew that even if the Hell Path had not captured Xiao Wu's soul to threaten him, he would still be doomed.

The enormous Blue Silver Prison he had used to restrain the Split Hound had consumed nearly half his soul power. Combined with using Invincible Golden Body, his soul power was nearly exhausted.

Once the Split Hound launched another attack, together with the Asura Path's missiles, he would no longer have any ability to resist.

That guy can repel all surrounding objects... Even if I attack him with Pear Blossom Storm Needles, it would be difficult to achieve any effect. I should retreat for now. When I get the chance, I must ask Teacher what Martial Soul those ripple-patterned eyes are.

Tang San thought this as he released the fused soul tool, the Hanhai Cosmic Shield, from between his brows and placed it into the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night.

But just as Tang San withdrew his hand from the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night belt and prepared to demand that they release Xiao Wu before he handed it over, the belt suddenly flew directly away and was instantly caught effortlessly by the Deva Path of Pain.

"Universal Pull..."

"You have no right to bargain with a god, Tang San..."

The Deva Path of Pain held Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night in one hand, its voice still cold and calm.
