The sudden change on the lake caused Kong Deming had just relaxed for a moment, to change his expression drastically. His heart jumped into his throat again, and his Soul Tool was poised to be activated, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Kong Xuan, standing to the side, also reconnected with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel deep within his Sea of Consciousness, already prepared to deal with any unexpected crisis.
However, at this tense moment when the sword was about to be drawn, a gentle, ethereal female voice, as if capable of soothing all the restless emotions in the world, slowly emanated from the blurry golden and silver light and shadow.
"Thank you for your help, which allowed me to see the light of day again."
The voice was filled with genuine gratitude, without a trace of hostility.
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's sharp aura paused slightly.
His mind raced, and he tentatively asked, "Your Excellency... could you perhaps be the true God of Love?"
Sure enough, that gentle female voice came again. "That's right, I am the real God of Love, or more accurately, just a wisp of soul left behind after the fall of the God of Love."
Kong Xuan immediately understood that by forcing Ning Rongrong away, he had indirectly helped the main character eliminate the "intruder," allowing the remnant soul of the God of Love to regain partial control of the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, which was why it was able to manifest itself.
Having figured this out, Kong Xuan Xuan's guarded aura lessened considerably, but he did not completely let his guard down.
Although God of Love is known for his leniency, he could no longer suppress his anger in the face of such circumstances.
Her voice trembled slightly, but she spoke clearly, " Sea God Tang San... how hypocritical he usually is! The entire Divine Realm has been kept in the dark by him!"
"I trusted him so much back then, and before my fall, I specifically chose Douluo Star as the site for the Godhood Inheritance, entrusting it to him..."
"Who would have thought that he would join forces with Ning Rongrong to try and seize my divine position!"
The former First-Level God spoke with great emotion, his divine soul fluctuating violently, clearly indicating that he was in a state of extreme indignation and disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan and Kong Deming exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill run down their spines. They realized there was such a complicated story behind it all.
Kong Deming couldn't help but think that Tang San's actions were dishonest, while Kong Xuan, who understood him better, just sneered, thinking that this was his "normal operation"!
God of Love took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and turned his gaze to Kong Xuan.
Although her remnant soul had been suppressed by Ning Rongrong, she could still perceive everything in the outside world.
The young man from the lower realm before them not only suppressed Ning Rongrong, Second-Level Deity, but also made Tang San dare not descend to the lower realm easily. His strength and origins are by no means simple.
Especially the power that had emanated from him earlier, even she, First-Level God, felt an unfathomable threat.
Such kindness must be repaid.
However, she now has nothing left except her position God of Love.
But the other party might not even be interested in this inheritance.
After a moment of God of Love, a ray of light, interwoven with gold and silver, slowly emerged from the depths of her soul, condensing in the void into a delicate and translucent crystal bead of gold and silver.
The inside of the bead seemed to shimmer with liquid light, radiating a warm and mysterious aura.
The crystal bead floated to Kong Xuan as if it had a spirit. He raised his hand to catch it. It was warm to the touch, like a spiritual object nurtured by heaven and earth. He could not feel that it was formed by Divine Power.
At this moment, the ethereal voice of the God of Love rang out again. " The Godhood Inheritance cannot be lightly bestowed. Without the corresponding understanding of the laws, even if one obtains a divine position, it is like a rootless duckweed."
"With this token, one may freely enter and exit the Qiankun Asking Love Valley to undergo the trials for attaining the position of the God of God of Love."
"Your Excellency may choose a suitable person to come. If they pass the test, I will entrust the divine position to them."
By doing this, the God of Love was undoubtedly handing over the right to pass on his divine position entirely to Kong Xuan.
More accurately, it was entrusting him with a precious opportunity to reach godhood.
As for who will ultimately receive this opportunity, that decision rests entirely with Kong Xuan.
The first images that came to Kong Xuan's mind were naturally of his younger sister and grandfather.
However, upon further reflection, her grandfather was a lifelong virgin who knew nothing of romance, and her sister was a naive young girl who had never experienced love. Clearly, neither of them was destined for the position of God of Love.
As for who else would be a suitable match, that still needs careful consideration.
However, he still looked at the remnant soul of the God of Love and asked, "If someone does not meet the conditions for Godhood Inheritance, can they obtain other opportunities to improve their strength through trials?"
The figure of God of Love, formed from the lake water, swayed gently, letting out a sigh, "I was already clinging to life with only this last wisp of my will, and for thousands of years, Tang San and Ning Rongrong have continuously suppressed and eroded my essence. Now, my remaining Divine Power is negligible."
"We can barely manage to complete one full Godhood Inheritance ceremony; that's already our limit. We simply cannot afford to give any more rewards to the other trial participants."
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, a hint of disappointment flashing through his mind.
The Ice God's legacy can only be obtained by ice-attribute Soul Master, but now the God of Love's legacy can only benefit one person.
The God of Love sensed his thoughts, and his illusory figure rippled slightly as he said, "Although this place won't work, I know of another place with a complete system of inheritance, enough for many people to undergo training."
A golden glint flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes; this information was indeed beyond his expectations.
"Whose legacy is this?"
He immediately pressed for an answer, his tone tinged with urgency.
The figure of God of Love, formed from the lake water, rippled slightly, as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
A deep, melancholy involuntarily crept into her voice. "Also a First-Level God... my husband, the successor of the God of Fire God."
" Fire God?"
Kong Xuan was genuinely surprised to hear this. He never expected that the God of Love of love, who was in charge of romance, would have Fire God as her partner.
He knew that ten thousand years ago, Ma Hongjun, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, had tried to inherit the position of the God of Fire God, but due to his lack of talent and laxity in cultivation, he failed to gain recognition and had to settle for second best, becoming the Second-Level Deity, the Phoenix God.
At the same time, a question that had been lingering in my mind quietly emerged.
Kong Xuan hesitated before speaking, his tone tinged with a hint of probing. "In the legends of the mainland, it is said that the God of Love fell because he was betrayed by his lover..."
He only uttered half a sentence, but the implication was crystal clear: if he was truly betrayed by his lover, why did the Fire God also perish? And how would the God of Love know about the other's lineage?
Upon hearing this, the God of Love felt her suppressed anger surge again, and she couldn't help but retort, "Nonsense! I have been with the Fire God for countless years, and our love has remained steadfast."
"He sacrificed his very soul to protect me in a great battle, dying in the process!"
"I too was heartbroken and devastated, and willingly relinquished my divine position to follow him into oblivion. How can this be considered betrayal?!"
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan immediately understood and said in a deep voice, "It seems that this must be slanderous words deliberately spread across the continent by Tang San and Ning Rongrong in order to seize the divine position!"
Immediately, he pressed for the most crucial information. "Where is the place where the God of Fire God's legacy is now?"
God of Love raised his arm and gently touched Kong Xuan.
A stream of Divine Power, as if possessing sentience, suddenly entered the divine pearl in Kong Xuan's hand, which was originally used to receive the information passed down by the God of Love.
"He also perished on this Douluo Continent; otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen this place as the site of my own demise."
The voice of God of Love carried a hint of wistful reminiscence as it spoke, "The exact location should be deep within the ocean. The God of Love Pearl in your hand has now formed a subtle resonance with its place of origin, and it will guide you there."
Kong Xuan looked down and saw that the gold and silver light that had been slowly flowing inside the bead had now rapidly condensed into a clear arrow pointing to his left.
While delighted that he had obtained a definite clue so easily, Kong Xuan was not blinded by his success.
He quickly calmed down, his brow furrowing slightly, and he couldn't help but worry, "The ocean... that's Tang San's territory. The God of Fire God's legacy is deep in the ocean. Won't something go wrong?"
