"Boy, I'll ask you one more time, what exactly is your relationship with that bastard Asura?!"
The Golden Dragon King stared intently at Tang San, his golden vertical pupils filled with murderous intent. If Ruan Mei hadn't intervened earlier, he would have crushed this human brat to death long ago.
God King Tang San clutched his still-aching neck, his face grim. He hadn't expected the Golden Dragon King to be able to sense the residual Asura Divine Power in his soul, and he certainly hadn't expected the Golden Dragon King to appear on the Douluo Continent.
He knew very well how much the Golden Dragon King hated the Asura God, and since he didn't currently possess the strength of God King, once he admitted his identity, the other party would definitely not let him off easily.
"This God King has no idea what you're talking about! I'm just an ordinary Soul Master, how could I possibly have any connection with the Asura God of the Divine Realm?"
The Golden Dragon King sneered after hearing this, "An ordinary Soul Master? Would an ordinary Soul Master know that I was imprisoned in the Divine Realm? Do you think I'm a fool?"
God King Tang San's face darkened, and he was about to find another excuse to brush it off when Lin Yuan, who was standing next to him, came over with a grin.
" Golden Dragon King, you don't know yet, do you? This isn't an ordinary Soul Master; he has a very impressive background."
The Golden Dragon King turned to look at him. "What do you mean?"
Lin Yuan pointed to Tang San and introduced him with a smile, "This is God King Tang San from the future. According to him, he will inherit both the Godhood of the Sea God and the Asura God, making him a true Dual Godhood successor."
The Golden Dragon King's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he abruptly turned to look at Tang San.
"What?! This kid is the future Asura God?!"
God King Tang San cursed Lin Yuan for being too talkative, but since his identity had already been exposed, there was no point in continuing to deny it.
He straightened his back and snorted coldly, "That's right! I, the God King, will indeed inherit the Dual Godhood the Sea God and the Asura God, becoming the God King of the Divine Realm. Golden Dragon King, since you know God King identity, you should understand..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Golden Dragon King suddenly burst into laughter.
God King Tang San frowned. "What are you laughing at?"
The Golden Dragon King's smile vanished, and his gaze toward him grew even more ferocious.
"Good! I was wondering where I'd find that bastard Asura to settle scores with later, but I never expected to run into his successor today!"
Just as God King Tang San was about to speak, the Golden Dragon King took a step forward.
"Since that's the case, I'll kill you first to prevent future trouble!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the Golden Dragon King raised his right hand, golden dragon power gathering in his palm. With Tang San's current strength, if this palm strike landed, not only would his physical body be destroyed, but even his soul might not be spared.
You dare!
The God King Tang San was so frightened that he quickly retreated, hastily mobilizing his Soul Power to try and use the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade.
However, the difference in strength between the two was too great. He had only taken half a step when he found himself locked onto by the Golden Dragon King, with nowhere to escape.
Deep down, the original Tang San was also anxious.
"You bastard! He almost strangled me to death just now, and now you dare to admit you're the Asura God? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
God King Tang San had no time to pay attention to him. Just as the Golden Dragon King was about to make a move, Ruan Mei's calm voice suddenly came from the side.
Don't damage my experimental materials.
The Golden Dragon King abruptly stopped moving.
He turned to look at Ruan Mei, then at Tang San in front of him, and his face immediately darkened.
"Ms. Ruan Mei, this kid is the successor of the Asura God! Do you know what that bastard Asura did to me back then?"
Nguyen Mai was organizing the test data and didn't even look up.
"I know. But his soul is very special, and I need to continue my research. If you want to settle scores with the Asura God, at least don't harm my experimental subject."
The Golden Dragon King opened his mouth, but ultimately let out a cold snort and withdrew the dragon power from his palm.
He still owes Interastral Peace Corporation a large sum of money, and Ruan Mei herself can't see the bigger picture. If she were to destroy important research objects in a moment of impulse, she might end up with new compensation claims.
The two-hundred-year contract was already a headache for him; he didn't want to extend his working years any further.
When God King Tang San saw that the Golden Dragon King had actually stopped, his previously anxious heart finally settled down.
He glanced at Ruan Mei, then at the displeased Golden Dragon King, and suddenly realized that this guy, who had once been feared by the gods of the Divine Realm, wasn't as terrifying as he had imagined.
At least for now, the Golden Dragon King dares not disobey that woman's orders.
Thinking of this, God King Tang San couldn't help but sneer.
"It's truly unbelievable. The mighty Golden Dragon King, who inherited the power of the Dragon God and was once a being that even the Divine Realm dared not underestimate, has now fallen to the point of working for mortals."
The Golden Dragon King suddenly turned his head. "Boy, what did you say?"
Seeing that he didn't make a move immediately, God King Tang San became even bolder.
"What? Did I, the God King, say something wrong? You, as a part of the Dragon God, are actually willing to obey the orders of a mortal and work for some Interastral Peace Corporation for two hundred years. Golden Dragon King, do you have no dignity at all?"
"You're asking for it!"
The veins on the Golden Dragon King's forehead throbbed; he wished he could slap this arrogant brat to death.
He was already furious about the compensation issue.
The debt of 1.38764 billion Credits, coupled with a two-hundred-year labor contract, was already enough to irritate him.
And yet this brat dared to reopen his wounds in front of so many people!
The Golden Dragon King clenched his fists, barely suppressing the urge to beat Tang San into a pulp.
Lin Yuan stood by watching the commotion, even jokingly reminding him, " Golden Dragon King, calm down. You still have two hundred years' worth of wages to collect. Don't get so worked up that you owe the company tens of millions more."
The Golden Dragon King glared fiercely at Lin Yuan.
God King Tang San became even more smug, thinking to himself that this guy had indeed been controlled by the so-called Interastral Peace Corporation.
But the Golden Dragon King quickly calmed down, suddenly stared at him, and sneered.
"Kid, didn't you claim to be the future God King?"
God King Tang San raised his chin. "That's right, I, the God King, will one day hold Dual Godhood. How can you underestimate me?"
"Since that's the case, I'd like to ask you, do you know what the Divine Realm is like now?"
God King Tang San frowned.
"What do you mean?"
The Golden Dragon King grinned. "Let me tell you, the Divine Realm is now a wasteland."
"What?!"
God King Tang San was stunned.
He wondered if he had misheard, and stared at the Golden Dragon King, asking, "What did you just say?"
The Golden Dragon King repeated, word by word, "I say, the Divine Realm is gone!"
Upon hearing this, God King Tang San flew into a rage.
"Nonsense!"
He slammed his hand on the testing station beside him and said angrily, " The Divine Realm is jointly managed by several God King, and is also overseen by numerous First-Level God and Second-Level Deity. How could it just disappear like that!"
" The Asura God, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, and the other God King —aren't they all beings of immense power? The Divine Realm has accumulated countless years of strength; do you really think you can convince this God King that the entire Divine Realm has been Destruction based on just a few words?"
God King Tang San became increasingly agitated as he spoke, pointing at the Golden Dragon King and sneering, " Golden Dragon King, do you think I, the God King, don't know your background? Back then, you were sealed in the forbidden area of the Divine Realm, deprived of even your freedom. Now that you've finally escaped, you try to fabricate such lies to deceive me, the God King?"
The Golden Dragon King wasn't angry after hearing this; instead, he laughed.
"Although I am reluctant to admit it, those several God King who joined forces back then were indeed not someone I could easily defeat. The seal the Divine Realm placed on me was also extremely strong; I simply had no way to escape on my own."
Upon hearing this, God King Tang San's angry expression softened slightly.
That's true.
Although the Golden Dragon King possessed some of the Dragon God's power, he still didn't stand much of a chance against the combined might of several great God King. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sealed away for so long back then.
But then, the Golden Dragon King continued, "However, do you think I was able to come to the Douluo Continent? If the Divine Realm hadn't been severely damaged by that woman, even the seal would have been broken, and I would probably still be imprisoned there!"
The expression on God King Tang San's face immediately froze.
The Golden Dragon King sneered, "Didn't you say there were so many God King in the Divine Realm? Then tell me, if nothing had happened to the Divine Realm, how did I escape from the seal?"
This time, God King Tang San did not immediately refute.
He stared at the Golden Dragon King before him, his mind replaying the words the other had just spoken.
indeed.
The Golden Dragon King was extremely powerful, a fact he knew better than anyone.
However, the seal placed on the Golden Dragon King by the Divine Realm was by no means ordinary, especially since several great God King jointly guarded it, making it impossible for the Golden Dragon King to escape on his own.
Moreover, the Golden Dragon King has not only escaped the Divine Realm, but has also appeared directly on the Douluo Continent, and even signed a two-hundred-year contract with a force called the Interastral Peace Corporation.
If everything in the Divine Realm were truly normal, this kind of thing would never happen.
Could it be...?
God King Tang San suddenly felt uneasy.
He originally planned to wait until his strength was restored before seeking the inheritance of the Sea God and the Asura God again, and embarking on the path to godhood once more.
But if what the Golden Dragon King said is true, Divine Realm has become a wasteland, wouldn't all his plans be in chaos?
Furthermore, who was the woman the Golden Dragon King mentioned earlier?
What kind of being could possibly have so severely damaged the entire Divine Realm that even the Golden Dragon King was able to escape?
The more God King Tang San thought about it, the more absurd it seemed, yet he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it.
Deep down, even the original Tang San was somewhat bewildered by what he heard.
"Hey, didn't you say we'd become God King in the future? Now that the Divine Realm is gone, how are we supposed to become gods?"
The God King God King Tang San replied irritably, "Shut up! I haven't figured out the situation yet!"
Just as he was about to continue questioning the Golden Dragon King, Ruan Mei walked over with a tablet.
She glanced at Tang San, then turned the screen back to him and calmly said:
"Alright, let's stop arguing about the Divine Realm. Look, which body do you want?"
