" Greed, though I'd like to refute your words, they do make a lot of sense," the God of Lust chuckled. "However, Lord Destruction once said that if we had the chance, we should reclaim the God of Death Godhood. If we fail to do so, wouldn't we be disappointing him?"
"Don't worry, even if we don't come to collect it, Lord Destruction will come in person. He only mentioned it briefly, it wasn't a formal order, so let's not provoke that brat Jun Yi." Envy sneered.
"So, what we need to do next is help him fuse with the Asura God Position?" the God of Pride asked somewhat unwillingly. The God of Envy nodded, turned to look at Tang San, and a golden decree appeared in his hand, which he tossed to Tang San, "Sign this, and we'll help you fuse with the Asura God Position, assisting you in becoming a true Asura God."
Tang San frowned slightly, looking at the golden decree before him. He couldn't understand the golden characters on it at all. He looked at the Seven Gods with utmost respect and asked, "Senior, what is this thing?"
" The Divine Soul Servitude Decree: Once you sign it, your Divine Soul will be under the control of Lord Destruction. If you betray Lord Destruction in the future, Lord Destruction can directly destroy your Divine Soul through this decree," the God of Envy explained calmly.
Upon hearing this, Tang San's face showed a hint of shock.
He never expected the other party to make such a demand. Signing this agreement would mean becoming a slave to a god, something no one could accept. "What? Judging from your expression, you don't want to?" the God of Envy threatened. Tang San took a deep breath and firmly shook his head. "No, I will never agree to this condition." The seven gods looked at Tang San with some surprise; they hadn't expected this mortal to refuse.
"Your name is Tang San, right?" The God of Pride looked at Tang San indifferently and asked.
"Yes." Tang San nodded.
" Tang San, do you think that since you inherited the Godhood of the Asura God, you will definitely become God King in the future, so you are unwilling to be a subordinate of God King Lord Destruction, who is also a God King?" The God of Pride looked at Tang San with disdain and spoke his true thoughts.
Tang San fell silent.
Seeing this, the God of Pride directly mocked, " Tang San, you don't actually think that everything you have now is due to your own hard work, do you? Do you really think you're the chosen one, and that the Asura God only took a liking to you because of your talent?"
"You're nothing but a piece of trash, a reincarnation of a fragment of the Asura God's own Divine Soul. If you weren't originally a part of the Asura God, why would the Asura God Godhood Inheritance to someone as worthless as you, and even set up a scheme for you? But who would have thought that you'd be so utterly useless that the resources the Asura God prepared for you would end up benefiting someone else."
The God of Pride's face was full of Pride. He looked at Tang San with a mocking expression and his eyes were full of disdain.
Tang San was stunned. He never expected the other party to say such a thing. This made him fall into deep thought for a moment, but when Tang San recalled everything between him and the Asura God, and why the Asura God had been so good to him, it all seemed to make sense.
"Answer me, Tang San," the God of Pride coldly roared.
Tang San's face paled. He suddenly realized that he had been living a deception all along. The Asura God Asura God's Godhood Inheritance wasn't unconditional; the other party hadn't passed it Godhood Inheritance to him because they valued him, but because he was a part of them?
"No, I don't believe it. I am who I am. I am Tang San, Tang San Tang Sect!" Tang San said coldly to himself.
"Since everything I have was bestowed upon me by the Asura God of Asura God, I have nothing to say if he wants to take it back," Tang San said calmly. "I will never sign that Divine Soul Servitude Decree unless the Asura God comes to me personally to discuss this matter." Upon hearing this, the God of Pride laughed instead. "Heh, don't you know that the former Asura God is dead? The current Asura God Position is already under the control of Lord Destruction. If Lord Destruction wants to take back everything you have, do you have absolutely no power to resist?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San was shocked once again. The Asura God was dead?
He never imagined that the Asura God he revered was dead. Wasn't the Asura God one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm, the enforcer of the Divine Realm, and the strongest God King? How could such an invincible being die? Tang San felt as if something was squeezing his heart, making it hard to breathe. He never imagined that his greatest reliance was dead. "How did the Asura God die?" Tang San asked with some difficulty.
The God of Pride chuckled. "That's not entirely your fault. After all, you're only a part of the Asura God now, so it's normal that you don't know many things. Well, let me tell you, the Asura God died at the hands of Lord Destruction Lord Destruction. His Divine Soul was annihilated, his divine body destroyed, and he didn't even have the chance to reincarnate. After all, Lord Destruction is also one of the God King. Although the Asura God is the enforcer of the Divine Realm, Lord Destruction's strength is no weaker than his. If it weren't for Lord Destruction not wanting to be an enemy of the gods of the Divine Realm, and not needing a puppet to control the Divine Realm and alleviate his sins, do you think you would be qualified to inherit the Asura God?"
A buzzing sound filled Tang San's mind, followed by a gasp: "How is this possible..." "Nothing is impossible," the God of Pride said calmly. Tang San felt a tearing pain in his heart. If all of this was real, then what was the point of all his efforts? Was everything he had done over the years just an illusion? Was he merely a wisp of the Asura God's Divine Soul reincarnated? And was everything the Tang Sect had experienced also a lie?
"What? Do you think you're a piece of trash? You even have to have someone else pass on the Godhood that originally belonged to 'you'?" The God of Pride looked at Tang San with a mocking expression.
Tang San fell silent, unsure how to answer the question. The God of Pride continued, " Tang San, I'll give you a chance. As long as you sign this Divine Soul Servitude Decree and become Lord Destruction's subordinate, you'll have a chance to obtain the true Asura God Position, and even a chance to become a true God King in the future."
Tang San clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force. He said in a deep voice, "I am just an ordinary person. I cannot become anyone's puppet, not even a god. If I can only be a puppet, then I would rather give up my Life."
The God of Pride's face immediately darkened. " Tang San, do you know what you're saying? What right does a piece of trash like you have to refuse? But since you've chosen to refuse, then we'll simply take back everything that originally belonged to the Asura God."
