That was right!
The owners of those two voices were none other than members of the original Shrek Seven Devils and Second-Level Gods of the Divine Realm: the God of War and the God of Speed!
The White-Eyed Demon Tiger King Soul Bone had originally belonged to Dai Mubai.
When Dai Lingfeng absorbed it,
Dai Mubai naturally sensed it in the Divine Realm.
"Twin Martial Souls of the White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat?"
Dai Mubai was startled as well.
Something so absurdly overpowered could actually exist.
The Dai and Zhu families had intermarried for generations.
In theory, Dai Lingfeng's appearance was not surprising. In fact, it was inevitable.
But reality was another matter entirely.
If such a combination really existed in reality, it was enough to make someone call the cops.
Those two Twin Martial Souls were a case of one plus one being greater than two!
Dai Mubai immediately had an idea.
Good water should not flow into an outsider's field, and the pavilion nearest the water caught the moonlight first. How could he miss out on such an outstanding descendant?
Hesitate, and someone else would snatch him up!
Dai Mubai had not forgotten Zhu Zhuqing, either.
Dai Lingfeng had the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat as Twin Martial Souls.
In theory, then, he could inherit both their godhoods at once and reach Tang San's level.
And compared with Tang San and Xiao Wu's pseudo Two Gods in One,
given Dai Lingfeng's special Twin Martial Souls,
his Two Gods in One would surely have a greater degree of fusion. It would be a true Two Gods in One,
and might even
completely fuse the godhoods of the God of War and the God of Speed, two Second-Level Gods, reaching the heights of a First-Level God!
"Mubai, I never expected such a heaven's chosen to appear in the White Tiger Lineage after ten thousand years."
"Is he the child of destiny you and Third Brother often mention?"
"That's astonishing!"
"No wonder you and Third Brother care so much."
Zhu Zhuqing stood beside Dai Mubai, equally shaken.
Twin Martial Souls of the White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat?
Didn't that mean
Dai Lingfeng alone could do the work of both him and Dai Mubai?!
Once Dai Lingfeng became a god, he would be able to use a Divine Soul Fusion Skill on his own and reach the heights of a First-Level God.
It was truly terrifying...
"No. Though Dai Lingfeng's talent is unmatched, he isn't the child of destiny."
Dai Mubai chuckled and shook his head, his smile full of relief.
Fortunately!
Fortunately, Dai Lingfeng was not the child of destiny.
Otherwise, he would never have had a chance. The Douluo Continent was the Tang family's backyard, and Tang San would have gotten his hands on Dai Lingfeng and ruined him first.
"What?"
"Dai Lingfeng isn't the child of destiny? How is that possible?"
Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.
He had the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat as Twin Martial Souls and heaven-defying luck, yet he still was not the child of destiny?
She could not understand.
Just how badass would the real child of destiny have to be?!
"Hard as it is to believe, that's the truth."
"Dai Lingfeng really isn't the child of destiny."
"That's actually good for us. At least no one will fight us for such an outstanding heir."
"As for the real child of destiny, I can't speak of him..."
"Zhuqing, don't concern yourself with it."
Dai Mubai shook his head, looking mysterious yet helpless.
That bastard Tang San had already claimed the real child of destiny.
That goddamn Tang San.
Dai Mubai was Tang San's dog, and even his descendants could not escape the fate of being dogs.
Sigh...
"The God of War's Nine Trials?"
"The God of Speed's Nine Trials?"
Everything went black before Dai Lingfeng's eyes.
Shit!
How did these two assholes set their sights on me?
Dai Mubai, are you trying to ruin me?
Ordinarily, Second-Level Gods lacked the power to leave inheritances on the continent.
That was because leaving an inheritance on the continent required divine power.
There was a threshold!
Only First-Level Gods could leave divine trials on the continent!
But the problem was this Soul Bone!
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's power could not even meet the threshold for leaving an inheritance, but the Demon Tiger King Soul Bone gave them a way to pass on their godhoods.
Dai Lingfeng felt like cursing their mothers.
Those two had such god-awful godhoods!
Yet he could not even refuse...
If I'd known, I'd never have absorbed that Soul Bone. I really tried to snatch a petty bargain and suffered a huge loss!
"That's right."
"It is the godhood of the God of War!"
"Child, I am your ancestor, God of War Dai Mubai, the leader of the original Shrek Seven Devils."
"You possess extraordinary talent."
"My wife and I have decided to pass our godhoods on to you together."
Dai Mubai revealed himself.
He certainly looked impressive, as massive as a mountain, with a presence like a rainbow.
He also deliberately released the bloodline presence of the White Tiger Lineage, making Dai Lingfeng feel at peace.
"Dai Lingfeng greets his ancestor!"
What could Dai Lingfeng do when that goddamn Dai Mubai had appeared in all his divine glory?
He could only do his utmost to suppress his distaste for the godhood of the God of War
and put on a display of trepidation and overwhelmed gratitude.
"Unruffled, neither arrogant nor impatient."
"It's rare for someone so young to have such a steady temperament."
"Legends of how we became gods have spread across the continent,"
"but you don't know what it means for my wife and me to pass our godhoods on to you together."
Dai Mubai was very dissatisfied with Dai Lingfeng's reaction.
As he had imagined it,
Dai Lingfeng should have been wild with joy.
Perhaps it was because of ignorance.
A child his age had seen little of the world and could not tell how badass Dai Mubai was.
That was why his attempt to show off had failed, like playing the lute to a cow.
Dai Mubai felt it necessary to give Dai Lingfeng a little education,
so the brat would know just how badass Dai Mubai was
and how lucky and honored he himself was.
"What does it mean?"
Dai Lingfeng did his best to look pleasantly surprised and play along.
"Your circumstances are exceptionally favorable. Having the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat as Twin Martial Souls means you can perfectly inherit both our godhoods."
"Two Gods in One!"
"You'll possess two godhoods at once, and may even fuse them!"
"You should know who the last person with Dual Godhood was."
"That's right, Tang San, who combined the Sea God and the Asura God in one body!"
"Accept our godhoods,"
"and you'll be the next Tang San!"
Dai Mubai bragged without batting an eye.
He had even called him the next Tang San.
Dai Lingfeng smiled.
Dai Mubai thought it was a smile of delight, but in truth, he was smiling because he was at a loss for words.
This guy has no shame at all.
How dare he?
How can two Second-Level Gods have the nerve to compare themselves to the Asura God and the Sea God?
I'm your descendant!
You can't do this to me!
The God of War and the God of Speed? What the hell kind of Two Gods in One is that?!
If I inherit them, my life will be ruined!
He was afraid people would laugh at him if word got out.
Sigh...
Forget it. I'll accept my fate. I've fallen into Dai Mubai's hands.
"I am deeply honored that you think so highly of me, Ancestor, and would pass your godhood on to me!"
With his heart as dead as ashes, Dai Lingfeng accepted his fate.
"This child can be taught."
Dai Mubai nodded. He was still somewhat dissatisfied; Dai Lingfeng had not looked surprised enough, but he barely passed.
He would just put it down to a child's ignorance.
Once Dai Lingfeng grew up, he would gradually come to understand what this meant
and how badass Dai Mubai was.
"God of War's Divine Trials, First Trial: defeat a thousand-year Soul Beast alone. Reward: the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King Soul Bone's age will be increased to one hundred thousand years!"
Fortunately, Dai Mubai was fairly generous, giving him a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone to start with.
Dai Lingfeng felt much comforted at last.
