Gangzi: Xiao San, You Became a God and Left Me Behind? I'll Destroy the Divine Realm at Any Cost

"For some reason, the Divine Examination opened a path to six worlds at once. And judging by the Heavenly Screen's feedback, the other Divine Realms seem to be cut off. Only the Divine Realm of our main world knows about any of this.

"If we can draw energy from those other worlds, we won't just survive this Temporal Turbulence. We could make the Divine Realm even stronger.

"This Divine Examination is our opportunity."

Tang San's words left Kindness and the Evil God King deep in thought.

A moment later, Kindness and the Evil God King turned to him.

"Tang San, your idea sounds promising, but putting it into practice will be difficult."

"I already have a detailed plan.

"But first, we have to save Shrek.

"If the legitimate Shrek Academy is destroyed, everything else is meaningless.

"The Golden Dragon King has already brought Shrek Academy to the brink of ruin. It needs someone powerful to hold the fort. So please don't interfere with what I'm about to do. You can use your own authority to influence the lower realm too. Let's see what each of us can accomplish."

"Agreed."

Kindness and the Evil God King had had enough of Tang San anyway. Their agreement only meant they would stop fighting among themselves. By now, the Divine Realm had split completely into two factions.

Tang San had laid out the idea. Now both sides would use whatever means they had.

Once their discussion ended, Kindness and the Evil God King left the hall, and the pressure on Tang San eased at once.

Without those two holding him back, he could finally do what he wanted. Shrek Academy had to be saved, but only if it belonged to his people.

And right now, he had one of his own at Shrek Academy.

The Divine Examination reached into other worlds and had even brought people from those worlds here.

Tang San could sense that another version of himself was in this world. His teacher was here too—two versions of him, in fact.

One teacher was at Shrek Academy, while the other was at some so-called Myriad Realms Shrek, a third-rate imitation of Shrek Academy.

He couldn't be bothered with that for now. As long as his teacher Yu Xiaogang was at Shrek, things would be much easier.

He planned to send down a Divine Examination. Rather than have Yu Xiaogang take the path of the Dragon God's Ten Trials, he would have him undergo an examination from the Divine Realm,

grow powerful quickly through the Divine Examination, and take charge of Shrek Academy to stabilize the situation below.

His teacher might be unreliable, but at least he was one of his own. Tang San could trust him with the job.

Many God Positions left by fallen gods were still vacant in the Divine Realm.

Most were only Third-Level God Positions with little value as inheritances. Some were downright bizarre.

They might not amount to much in the Divine Realm, but on Douluo Continent, even a Divine Official would be invincible.

His teacher Yu Xiaogang was a good-for-nothing who had been stuck at level twenty-nine for fifty years. Tang San hadn't even considered taking him to the Divine Realm back then.

Giving him a Third-Level God Position now was already more than generous.

Teacher, I hope you can sense a suitable God Position, accept its Divine Examination, and grow stronger quickly.

I need you.

At that very moment, in Shrek Academy of the main world, Gangzi sat in his room looking utterly miserable.

How long had he even been here?

Almost everyone was dead already. Shrek Academy was doomed sooner or later.

No, wait. He didn't have a Divine Examination, so no one would challenge him.

But Shrek Academy was clearly a dangerous place to be.

Not a single high-level fighter remained.

He had asked around. Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li, who was still alive, was only a support fighter.

Being beautiful wouldn't help anyone survive.

And somehow, he had become the highest-ranking person at Shrek.

Good grief. He had been here for only a day, and he was already in line to become Shrek's dean.

Who the hell could handle that? Not even a god could handle that!

What if those fools actually expected him to take charge? What the hell was he supposed to do?

He was a good-for-nothing with an innate soul power of only level 0.5. He could bluff people on an ordinary day, but if he had to step up himself, he'd be a fool.

I'm getting out of here, guys.

Gangzi had already started packing.

He hadn't brought anything with him, but Shrek Academy had plenty of valuables. He couldn't carry them all at once.

Just as he was about to flee, a golden divine light suddenly enveloped all of Shrek Academy,

descending from the Sea God Pavilion with an awe-inspiring divine presence.

The light drew the attention of everyone still alive at Shrek Academy. Gangzi froze too.

He looked up, then found himself walking toward the Sea God Pavilion as if in a trance.

He felt something calling to him. If he didn't go, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

By the time he reached the Sea God Pavilion, the golden light had gathered into a hazy figure. It was unmistakably a projection of Tang San.

The figure had no power whatsoever. It was only a projection.

It was the most Tang San could manage, and all he could do through it was speak.

Still, he hadn't seen his teacher in a long time. He might as well talk to him.

"Teacher, it's been a long time."

Gangzi shuddered at the sound of his voice. He looked up at Tang San and asked, his voice trembling,

"Xiao San, is that you?"

"It's me, Teacher."

Once Gangzi was sure, his face darkened. He pointed at Tang San.

"You became a god and didn't take me with you? You had a place for me!

"For your sake, I did everything I could to destroy Spirit Hall. I even picked out a premium Spirit Ring from a Ten-Year Lonely Bamboo for you, and you turned your nose up at it.

"After everything I did for you, you abandoned me!

"But since you're here, take me to the Divine Realm now. Do that, and I won't hold it against you. Otherwise, I'll destroy the Divine Realm at any cost!"

Tang San's mouth twitched. After all this time apart, his teacher seemed to have gone a little mad.

"Teacher, I was wrong back then, so I've come to make up for it.

"I'll give you a God Position now, though there's a limit to what I can do from the Divine Realm.

"This divine light will guide you. You'll have to sense the God Position best suited to you and draw it down yourself.

"Once you inherit it, work hard to complete the God-Level Nine Trials, become a god, and protect all of Shrek.

"That's what I'm asking of you."

Gangzi's eyes lit up instantly.

"What?

"I'm really going to become a god?"

Delight spread across Gangzi's face. He had only been mouthing off. He hadn't expected Tang San to take him seriously.

It was like a gift falling straight from the heavens!

Gangzi finally looked at Tang San with a solemn expression, struggling to contain his excitement.

"In that case, I forgive you. I won't destroy the Divine Realm."

"Teacher, after you inherit the God Position and complete the Divine Examination, you must protect Shrek for me. You must."

Gangzi immediately thumped his chest and promised,

"Don't worry. As long as I receive a Divine Examination, I'll destroy anyone who dares lay a hand on Shrek's students, no matter what it takes."

The way Gangzi brimmed with confidence, anyone who didn't know better would think he had already become a god.

"Then I can rest easy."

With that, Tang San's projection said, "Good luck, Teacher," and vanished.

After Tang San disappeared, Gangzi took a deep breath. He knew it was his turn to perform.

By then, the few powerful fighters left at Shrek had gathered around him.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li had only recently regained consciousness. When she learned that Gangzi was about to receive a divine inheritance, she finally felt they had someone to rely on.

This ancestor from tens of thousands of years ago, who had appeared out of nowhere, might actually prove useful.

Yun Ming was dead. As his wife, it was her duty to protect Shrek Academy in his place.

Gangzi summoned Luo Sanpao.

"Come out, Sanpao!"
