A chess piece
When Tang San opened his eyes again, he found himself in a place.
In the new space, there was a vast hall. Seven pearls, like bright moons, hung from the dome of the hall, emitting a hazy light. Tang San felt his body completely bound by a force, unable to move at all. At this moment, he was being carried by the God of Sloth to the center of the hall. Standing in the hall was a man in a black cloak, his face cold and stern, his aura reminiscent of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Unlike the gods, he was just like an ordinary person at this moment, without a trace of Divine Power. However, his deep eyes exuded a strong aura of Destruction, as if he wanted to annihilate all Life.
"Greetings, Destruction God King." The God of Sloth bowed slightly, followed by the other six deities who also paid their respects to the Destruction God King.
The Destruction God King slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes as cold Abyss as an abyss from beneath his black cloak. Just one glance between him and the God of Sloth made Tang San feel his body instantly turn icy cold, as if the Destruction God King was constantly stripping away his Soul Power.
The God of Sloth summoned a Divine Power space, retrieved the Asura God Position, and raised it above his head, intending to hand it to the Destruction God King. " Lord Destruction," he said, "The Asura God Position Asura God has inherited the Godhood; you shall keep it safe."
The Destruction God King glanced at the Asura God Position Throne indifferently, without taking it, and simply said, "This thing is of no use to me. Let Asura keep it himself."
"This..." A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the God of Sloth.
"Don't worry, even if he possesses the Asura God Position, it will take him at least ten thousand years to completely..."
"Having refined his Godhood, his current strength is far inferior to yours; he only holds a higher nominal status." The Destruction God King lifted his foot and slowly walked to Tang San, calmly saying, " Asura, do you know why I helped you obtain this Godhood?"
Tang San remained silent, merely staring at the Destruction God King. He felt somewhat uneasy in his body, as if it were not under his control. "Because you are part of the Asura God, and also part of my plan," the Destruction God King said slowly.
"I never understood why a God King who controlled the Asura God would so easily give up his own Life, until I sensed your presence and I understood everything. The Asura God sent you to be his substitute."
"He assassinated the God of Death, obtained the God of Death Godhood, and can leave the Divine Realm at will. Even if he dies, he can directly possess you through a wisp of his divine Divine Soul."
Tang San looked at the Destruction God King with some confusion, "What are you trying to say?"
The Destruction God King said calmly, "You don't need to understand. You only need to know that from the moment you were born, you were a pawn of the Asura God. Now that the Asura God is dead, you are my pawn."
"I, Tang San, am not part of anyone, nor will I be anyone's pawn!" Tang San
With a furious roar, Tang San's pores opened instantly, and his Soul Power surged forth like a raging flood, crashing towards the Destruction God King. "Even pawns have dignity, but they also need to earn it with their own strength." The Destruction God King calmly raised a finger and tapped it on Tang San's forehead.
Tang San felt his body instantly stiffen, and the Soul Power that had been rushing towards the Destruction God King dissipated the moment it touched his fingers.
"Your current strength is still far from sufficient," the Destruction God King said calmly. Tang San was taken aback. He could feel that the Soul Power within his body had not disappeared, but had been imprisoned by the Destruction God King in a special way. He tried to struggle, but as expected, he could not move.
" Sloth. Give him the Asura God Position; I'll keep him around for a reason."
The Destruction God King said calmly.
"Yes, sir." The God of Sloth directly implanted the Asura God Position into Tang San's body.
Tang San felt his body instantly enveloped by a tremendous force. The Asura God Position directly merged into his body, flowing through his meridians. He could clearly feel that every part of his body was filled with power, and the power contained in the Asura God Position seemed to be inexhaustible.
However, this power, though formidable, could not be mobilized no matter what, as if it were being restrained by something. The God of Sloth respectfully approached the Destruction God King, "My lord, I have done as you requested." The Destruction God King nodded, "Very good, you may leave now."
" Lord Destruction, we did not bring the Rakshasa and the Angel into the Divine Realm; they refused our invitation," said the God of Sloth.
"It's alright. Once I become the ruler of the Divine Realm, I will personally handle this matter."
"Yes." The God of Sloth and the other six gods responded simultaneously, and seven streams of Divine Power instantly dispersed from the hall, flying out of the hall. After they left, only Tang San and the Destruction God King remained in the hall.
The Destruction God King said calmly, "Your strength is still lacking. You should be able to feel the power contained within this Asura God Position now." Tang San coldly asked, "What do you mean?" The Destruction God King, "This Godhood can grant you power to contend with God King. Of course, you need to completely refine it first."
What exactly do you want to do?
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see an old friend."
A wisp of Asura Divine Power suddenly emerged from the palm of the Destruction God King, and was then injected into Tang San's mind.
" Tang San, when you wake up, you will be the true Asura God."
Tang San's consciousness gradually faded, and a wave of exhaustion washed over him.
Finally, everything went black before his eyes, and he completely lost consciousness. Inside the hall, the corners of the Destruction God King's mouth curled up slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Then Tang San slowly opened his eyes, and his appearance and temperament underwent a drastic change. His appearance became identical to that of the previous Asura God.
That boundless majesty and nobility seemed to crush the entire Divine Realm. His body trembled rapidly, his muscles twitched incessantly, and with each tremor and each twitch, he grew stronger. He slowly stood up, and then, he roared to the sky, unleashing boundless Asura Divine Power from his body.
" Lu Tian, welcome back."
" Destruction? Why am I here?" Tang San asked, a hint of confusion on his face, his tone mirroring that of the deceased Asura God.
"You were severely injured, and I saved you. I preserved a remnant of your Divine Soul, and after some effort, I found your substitute and implanted this remnant of your Divine Soul into your split soul, which can be considered as 'reviving' you."
