Qi Ling sighed helplessly. This Blood Devil had truly figured out her personality. She could only say resignedly, "Fine, I admit defeat. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Hey kid, don't look like you've suffered a huge loss. Let me tell you, this matter will greatly benefit you!" Blood Devil said. "Including the Eighth Soul Ring I wanted to give you, it will all be obtained through this."
"What is it anyway? Stop keeping me in suspense!" Qi Ling said, speechless.
"Hehe, it's very simple. I want you to participate in the succession to the Demon God's Godhood!" the Blood Devil said with a smile.
Although Qi Ling had prepared herself mentally, she was still surprised to hear the Blood Devil mention the " Demon God " Godhood, exclaiming, "Huh? No way, there really is such Godhood as Demon God?"
"Of course, there's no reason why the Divine Realm shouldn't have what the God Devil Realm has," the Blood Devil laughed. "Moreover, the Demon God Godhood is the most important Godhood in the Devil Realm, which is also my Godhood."
"Then how is this Demon God Godhood inherited? Is it like the Godhood of the Dragon God and the Sea God, requiring nine trials to be passed?" Qi Ling asked.
"Of course not! The Godhood of the Devil Realm doesn't have such a peaceful method of succession!" the Blood Devil said. "In the Devil Realm, strength is paramount. Anything you want, you must earn through your own strength! The Godhood is no exception."
"So what you need to do is not just pass the test, but also compete with many other people who have the qualifications to inherit the throne for this Godhood! Only by winning in the end can you become the successor to the Demon God Godhood."
Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise, "So, I have to compete with other people? That's so troublesome. Can I just give up?"
"Of course not! What do you think this Godhood is? A steamed bun, something you can just throw away?" The Blood Devil said speechlessly. "Not only do you have to participate, but you also have to win! You are my reincarnation; how can you just hand over what belongs to you?"
Qi Ling thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask you a question, Blood Devil. I remember Xue Qinghe once said that he has the same aptitude as me and wants to compete with me for something. Is it the Demon God's Godhood?"
"Oh, not bad, very clever! That's right, what you're fighting for is the Godhood of the Demon God," the Blood Devil said.
"So, Xue Qinghe is also one of your choices? Your taste is really terrible!" Qi Ling frowned. "If you think I'm on the same level as Xue Qinghe, then I would rather die than go. It's too discouraging!"
The Blood Devil said helplessly, "No, of course I didn't choose that guy. I've been inside you from the beginning, how could I have had the chance to choose someone else? Someone else chose him."
"Who are you? Are you from the Devil Realm?" Qi Ling asked. " Blood Devil, what exactly is the Devil Realm like? And what impact will this Demon God Godhood have on the Devil Realm?"
The Blood Devil, stroking his chin, said, "Well, that's a long story. You'll never know what the Devil Realm is like until you go there yourself. But I can tell you about other things."
"First of all, there are many Devil King in the Devil Realm, but there is only one Devil Emperor, and that is me," the Blood Devil Demon said smugly. "The reason is simple: those guys are too weak, not even worth a hand's strength, so they are not qualified to stand on equal footing with me."
"As for the Demon God Godhood, which is my Godhood, many people naturally covet it. However, those Devil King are not qualified to compete for this Godhood. All they can do is choose their own successors to compete for this Godhood!"
"In fact, the succession of Godhood in the Devil Realm mostly takes this form. Only through brutal competition can a suitable successor be chosen, and only the powerful can protect their Godhood! If you are not strong enough, no one will stand up for you if your Godhood is taken away."
Qi Ling nodded and said, "I see. It seems this battle will be very difficult. Then why hasn't it started yet?"
"Because we haven't gathered all the people yet," the Blood Devil said. "You must know the legend of the Eight Gods and Eight Devils, right? As beings that are opposed to the eight Divine Soul, the eight Demonic Soul are eight crucial Martial Soul in the Devil Realm."
"Therefore, in order to begin the battle for the Demon God Godhood's throne, at least all eight types of Demonic Soul must appear! The other Devil King will then naturally choose these people as their successors, letting them compete for the Godhood."
"Huh? Is that so?" Qi Ling asked doubtfully. "I thought that each of the eight Demonic Soul had its own Godhood to inherit, but it turns out that's not the case?"
"No, actually they do have their own divine Godhood to inherit. However, when they can inherit the Demon God Godhood, who cares what their original Godhood was?" the Blood Devil said smugly.
"Boy, you need to understand, I am the only Devil Emperor of the Devil Realm, the undisputed number one in the Devil Realm for thousands of years! Even though I have been dead for many years, Devil Realm Demon Realm has yet to produce another Devil Emperor. Do you understand how great I am?"
Blood Devil's experience is indeed something to be proud of, but Qi Ling laughed and said, "Oh? That's so awesome, then can you beat the Dragon God?"
"I..." Blood Devil choked, then fell silent. "Ahem, let's get down to business!"
"For this reason, all the successors, including the Eight Devils' Souls, will participate in this great battle for the Demon God Godhood! The competition will begin when the last Demonic Soul is found."
"So, how many Demonic Soul have been found so far? And how many people will participate in this competition?" Qi Ling asked.
The Blood Devil chuckled and said, "All eight Demonic Soul have now been found! And all those qualified to participate have been confirmed! There will be three thousand and three people participating in this Demon God Contention Battle!"
Upon hearing this number, Qi Ling couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. More than three thousand people, all of whom were exceptionally talented and top talents in their respective worlds, which gave her an idea of just how fierce the competition was.
"In that case, when does the match start?" Qi Ling asked. "Don't tell me you're going to drag me to the match tomorrow, are you?"
"Hehe, how could that be? There's still a year before the competition starts," Blood Devil laughed. "Well, if you promise to participate, our debt will be even. Otherwise... otherwise... I guess I can't really do anything to you."
The Blood Devil realized that besides condemning Qi Ling, he couldn't really do anything else; he couldn't exactly put on a "I kill myself" act on the spot, could he?
