When Snow Empress returned to Di Qiu'er and Ice Empress's side, she found that Toji had fallen into a coma again.
Unnatural icy blue lines appeared on his pale face, a sign that the Snow Empress's primordial cold energy was forcibly maintaining his life.
"He can't hold on for long. I can only stabilize his injuries, but I can't cure the root cause." Snow Empress reached out and gently touched Toji's neck, her brows furrowing slightly.
"He needs comprehensive treatment to remove the aftereffects of the combat power boost he gained in his near-death experience."
Ice Empress asked, "Then what should we do? Go back to the Far North?"
"The most crucial point is that he won't receive proper treatment even if he returns to the Far North," Snow Empress shook her head. "His current condition... he needs to be treated by a professional doctor."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a whooshing sound came from afar, and Du Busi's figure crashed down in front of everyone like a cannonball, the ground beneath their feet immediately cracking.
"I knew this would happen." Du Busi panted heavily. He was clearly taken aback when he saw Snow Empress, but immediately turned his gaze to Toji, who was being supported by the two women.
"This kid!" Du Busi Undying rushed forward, his rough hand pressing against Toji's chest, his face instantly turning grim. "This injury is too severe; it's a miracle he's still alive."
Snow Empress coldly replied, "You can cure it?"
Du Busi did not answer, but instead took out a dark green jade bottle from his pocket.
The moment the stopper was removed, a rich sense of Life filled the air.
"This is my most treasured possession." He carefully dripped three drops onto Toji's lips. "Also, have you been searching for any of those guys' treasures, Mu En?"
"Perhaps there are some rare and precious herbs that are suitable for him and can help sustain his injuries."
"Can it only be maintained?"
Snow Empress raised an eyebrow.
"His body has entered a state of suspended animation, but the energy within him is not only not diminishing, but is actually slowly increasing."
Du Busi, who knew the state of the Body Martial Soul best, analyzed the situation and immediately spoke.
Simply put, perhaps because of his battle with Mu En, his body is currently in a state of awakening.
"Awakening?"
Di Qiu'er seemed to realize something:
"You mean... he broke through again?"
"That's right."
Du Busi nodded quickly.
"Adding to the fact that when he previously amplified his combat power, he forcibly pushed his body to its limits, maintaining a state almost at the level of Divine Body for a minute or two. This is something that someone of his cultivation level simply cannot sustain."
"Now that I've covered the downsides, the upside is that once he wakes up and has a suitable Soul Ring, he'll probably be able to jump directly to the level of Titled Douluo, and his physical strength will finally reach a state infinitely close to that of Divine Body."
"This means that he has qualified to become a god."
"But the premise is that he needs a lot of energy to replenish himself, not to mention that he's just one breath away from death."
"Currently, there really aren't any rare and precious herbs that can completely cure his condition; they can only maintain his Life." At this point, Du Busi somewhat worried.
"I know a place where I can save him."
Di Qiu'er suddenly spoke up, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Let's go back to the Star Dou Great Forest and to the Lake of Life."
Inside the supreme temple shrouded in clouds and mist in the Divine Realm.
Tang San looked at the ruins of the Shrek Academy on the Douluo Continent. The Golden Ancient Tree had withered, the Sea God Pavilion had collapsed, and the once glorious academy was now nothing but ruins.
His fingers tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white, and a cold rage surged deep in his eyes.
" Snow Empress, Toji..."
He practically spat out those two names through gritted teeth.
This was not the outcome he wanted to see.
However, just as he was about to lose control of his anger, a deep, hoarse voice sounded behind him.
"What, is the mighty Sea God about to lose his temper?"
Tang San paused, quickly composed himself, and turned to look at the Destruction God King who was watching the show with him.
The Destruction God King, "I'm very curious, why would the Golden Ancient Tree, the Life Core of the Douluo Plane, be so biased towards a human force? Even at the cost of its own life force, it would protect that old guy named Mu En?"
Tang San remained expressionless and said calmly:
"I planted the Golden Ancient Tree myself when I ascended to immortality. It has done me a great favor, so naturally it will also take care of the Shrek Academy. What's wrong with that?"
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction suddenly burst into laughter.
"Heh... Tang San, can't you be a little more serious when you're making up lies?"
His laughter carried an undisguised sarcasm.
" The Life Core favors humanity? And 'repays kindness'? Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Tang San's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
Believe it or not.
The Destruction God King's smile faded.
"However, none of that matters anymore. The reason I didn't stop the actions of the Douluo Plane's Life Core was simply to see that human's potential."
"Even without the help of that creature named Snow Empress, I would still intervene when he couldn't take it anymore."
Tang San frowned:
" Destruction? You want to destroy the rules?"
"You've already ruined the rules; my intervention is merely to maintain balance." The Destruction God King counterattacked using the method Tang San excelled at.
"However, the result was more or less the same. I saw his performance myself, not to mention that once he recovers from his injuries, he will have the strength of Divine Body."
"Therefore, I want to tell you that I have decided to recommend that little fellow named ' Toji ' to ascend to godhood."
"What do you recommend?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted, and an uncontrollable rage almost overwhelmed his reason.
"What did you say?!"
His voice was deep and dangerous, and a faint divine power surged around him.
The Destruction God King, however, didn't care at all; instead, he watched Tang San's reaction with great interest.
"What, does the Sea God have a problem with this?"
"If you can send your completely unqualified companions to ascend, why can't I recommend those who are truly qualified to become gods to ascend to the Divine Realm?"
What kind of logic is this?
Tang San took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger.
He knew that the God of Destruction was testing him.
If he reacts excessively now, it will only strengthen the God of Destruction's resolve to recommend Toji.
Then, a faint smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Of course I have no objection."
"However, the selection of deities in the Divine Realm has always emphasized character, talent, and suitability for the Godhood position."
"That brat named Toji has committed too many killings; he's probably not fit to inherit the Godhood."
The Destruction God King nodded knowingly:
"Too much killing? Before you became a god, did you have less blood on your hands?"
"Besides, when it comes to slaughter, who can compare to the Asura God?"
Tang San's eyes turned cold.
"Could it be that Destruction intends to pass on his Godhood to him?"
"You're overthinking it. I'm just making the introduction; I have no intention of passing on the Godhood."
The God of Destruction ignored him and turned to leave.
"He has the opportunity to Self-Created Godhood; I'm not mistaken, and I'm willing to guide him on his path."
As for whether he can ultimately become a god... that depends on his own destiny.
"Of course, if anyone dares to obstruct the development of the Divine Realm, hmph."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the God of Destruction vanished.
Inside the temple, only Tang San remained.
His face turned completely grim.
" Toji... you want to become a god? Ha, dream on!"
"The difficulty of Self-Created Godhood is obvious to all; even I couldn't accomplish it, so what makes you think you can?"
