God King Tang San slowly opened his eyes, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above him. After a moment, he realized that he had completed the soul transfer.
He tried moving his fingers, then slowly sat up, moving his legs as well, without any discomfort.
What pleased him even more was that his mind was finally at peace.
The Tang San who used to argue with himself deep in his consciousness was gone. No one would suddenly appear when he controlled his body anymore, and he no longer had to worry about anyone taking over control at any time.
"Hahaha! We finally succeeded!"
God King Tang San couldn't help but laugh out loud, standing up directly from the sickbed and stretching his limbs. He could feel that the blood and qi in this body were very abundant, and the meridians were also wider than the original body. Although he didn't have much Soul Power yet, in terms of physical foundation alone, he was already much stronger than before.
God King Tang San eagerly raised his right hand, attempting to summon his Martial Soul.
With a burst of blue-gold light, a Blue Silver Emperor appeared in his palm. The grass leaves had fine golden patterns, making it distinctly different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
" Blue Silver Emperor! It really is the Blue Silver Emperor!"
God King Tang San nodded in satisfaction, then extended his left hand, and a black Clear Sky Hammer slowly appeared. Although neither of his Martial Soul had been equipped with Soul Ring yet, he could clearly sense their presence.
Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer, Twin Martial Souls!
Moreover, this time, he no longer had to endure the white Ten-Year Soul Ring, nor did he have to worry about the Clear Sky Hammer being randomly attached with Soul Ring.
Once he starts cultivating again, he is confident that with his experience of hundreds of years from his previous life, he can make this body far stronger than before.
God King Tang San looked at the two Martial Soul in his palm and became more and more satisfied.
Once I cultivate to the Titled Douluo, I will then seek a way to restore my Godhood. Even if the Divine Realm is truly in trouble now, with my mastery of the Tang Sect Secret Arts and my experience in becoming a god, I might still be able to find another way out.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
On the other side, the original Tang San gradually woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately checked his body and found that his hands and feet could move normally, and there was no abnormality in his Soul Power.
Most importantly, that annoying voice in my head finally disappeared.
Tang San tried calling out in his mind, but received no response.
"They're finally gone!"
He sat up abruptly, almost jumping off the hospital bed.
For the past few days, his body had been controlled by another person at will, and even talking to Xiao Wu depended on the other person's mood. Now, finally, he no longer had to fight with that guy for control of his body.
" Little San, you're awake too!" Upon seeing this, Flender quickly came over to check on him. Yu Xiaogang also pushed his wheelchair closer and asked with concern, " Little San, how are you feeling now? Is there anything bothering you?"
Tang San shook his head, a rare smile on his face, "Teacher, I'm fine, and now my body finally belongs entirely to me!"
Xiao Wu stood between the two hospital beds, unsure of what to do.
On the left is the familiar Third Brother, and on the right, although he has a different appearance, he also claims to be the future Third Brother.
Both of them knew her and acted very close to her.
Just as Xiao Wu was still hesitating, God King Tang San walked over.
" Xiao Wu, don't worry, I have my own body now, and that situation will never happen again."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand, ready to hold Xiao Wu's hand as before.
However, before his hand could touch Xiao Wu, it was stopped by another hand.
What are you doing!
The original Tang San strode between the two, glaring fiercely at God King Tang San: "You already have your own body, what else do you want? This Xiao Wu is mine, you stay away from her from now on!"
God King Tang San frowned as he listened.
"Boy, have you forgotten who you are? I am you from the future, and Xiao Wu and I have been together for hundreds of years. Can't I even hold her hand?"
"That's a matter for the future!" Tang San retorted without backing down. " Xiao Wu hasn't experienced those things with you yet. Don't try to take my Xiao Wu away just because you know about the future!"
God King Tang San's expression gradually darkened.
"It seems you need some guidance from a senior."
"Who's afraid of who! You used to steal my body, and I couldn't do anything about it. Now we both have our own bodies, so what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
The two men became increasingly agitated as they argued, and some even started rolling up their sleeves.
Xiao Wu quickly stepped in between them. "Brother, stop arguing! We finally separated, why are you fighting again?"
Lin Yuan watched with great delight, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also tried to suppress their laughter.
Just as the two Tang San were about to continue arguing, Ruan Mei walked over with a tablet.
"Mr. Tang San, we will need your cooperation in completing a few more examinations."
Upon hearing the sound, God King Tang San turned his head impatiently.
Ruan Mei glanced at the tablet and continued, "This includes testing the stability of the soul, the adaptability of the Twin Martial Souls, and the strength of the new body. Although the soul transfer has been successful, we still need to confirm whether long-term use will lead to rejection."
God King Tang San frowned.
He looked down at his body and tried moving his arms a few times, but found nothing unusual.
Now that I have a new body, why should I stay here and be manipulated by others?
Moreover, he had already endured for a long time in order to get Ruan Mei to help him complete the soul transfer. Now that the experiment had succeeded, this woman in front of him naturally had no right to order him around anymore.
Thinking of this, God King Tang San once again adopted his God King demeanor.
"I now have a new body, and your experiments have been successful. I have my own matters to attend to, God King God King!"
After saying that, he prepared to leave with Xiao Wu.
Nguyen Mai wasn't angry; she just looked at him calmly.
It was the company researcher standing behind her who suddenly spoke up.
"Mr. Tang San, please wait a moment, you may have misunderstood something."
God King Tang San stopped and asked with displeasure, "What is it?"
The staff retrieved an electronic file and politely explained, "According to the contract you previously signed, the artificial body you are currently using belongs to the research and development assets of Interastral Peace Corporation. Until you repay all research and development costs, you only have the right to use it, not full ownership of this body."
"What?!"
God King Tang San suddenly turned around and stared at the staff member with wide eyes.
"What did you say? This God King's own body doesn't belong to this God King?"
The staff member nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Tang San. This body was independently developed and manufactured by the company and is currently considered an experimental asset. You have obtained authorization to use it, but the related fees have not yet been settled."
God King Tang San was immediately enraged.
"Ridiculous! When did I, the God King, ever agree to such a thing? Didn't you say you would create a new body for me? Why are you now saying the body belongs to you?"
The staff did not argue, but simply retrieved the contract.
"Mr. Tang San, you previously chose to customize an artificial body and requested the incorporation of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, along with the creation of two Martial Soul: the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer. Furthermore, the soul transfer also requires separate research and development costs."
As he spoke, he showed the corresponding projects.
"These fees have been recorded in your personal account and will accrue interest as stipulated in the contract. The company retains ownership of this body until you repay all outstanding payments."
God King Tang San's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened.
He had initially thought that Interastral Peace Corporation was only providing experimental assistance, but he hadn't expected that all of these things would be charged!
The staff member hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Furthermore, Mr. Tang San, according to the long-term repayment agreement you signed, if you are able to become a god in the future and gain an extremely long lifespan, then you will continue to bear the relevant debts until they are fully repaid."
God King Tang San's lips twitched.
"If you unfortunately pass away, any outstanding debts will not be automatically cancelled. According to the agreement you signed, the remaining amount will be borne by your descendants."
"What?!"
God King Tang San almost jumped up.
"Even after God King god, I still have to repay the debt? And after I die, I have to repay it on my behalf? What kind of bullshit rules are these?!"
The staff member replied earnestly, "Mr. Tang San, the company offers a long-term installment repayment service. Considering your claim that you will become God King in the future and possess a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people, the contract specifically adopts a long-term repayment plan."
The God King Tang San felt dizzy upon hearing this.
He had been considering regaining his Godhood and restoring his power God King, but now he's been told that even if he becomes a god, he'll still have to keep paying off the company's debts!
Even their own descendants will be implicated!
"This is fraud!" God King Tang San angrily pointed at the staff, "When did I, God King God King, ever agree to such conditions? How dare you deceive me!"
The staff remained polite.
"Mr. Tang San, all the terms are in the file you signed; there is nothing to hide."
He retrieved all the electronic signatures, identity verification records, and previous contract details.
At the very bottom of the screen, the words "Tang San" were clearly written.
"These projects were all personally selected and signed off by you. Before signing, we specifically asked if you had any other requirements and reminded you that they cannot be changed after confirmation."
God King Tang San stared at the signature on the screen, his face instantly freezing.
He then remembered that when he was selecting his body, the staff had indeed made him sign a file.
But at the time, he was so excited about getting a new body that he didn't read the terms and conditions carefully.
Thinking of this, God King Tang San wished he could give his past self a good scolding.
Lin Yuan, standing to the side, finally couldn't help but laugh.
"There's nothing I can do. The God King's requirements are just too high. He wants the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, and he even specifically chose a body that looks similar to my former self."
Lin Yuan patted God King Tang San on the shoulder and continued with a smile, "The company spent a lot of money to meet your demands. You can't expect to have everything and not want to spend a single penny, can you?"
God King Tang San was so angry that he trembled all over.
He finally understood why Lin Yuan had been smiling so happily when he watched him sign the document.
That bastard must have known all along that there was a problem with the contract!
That damned Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!
You have already chosen a path to death!
God King Tang San took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "No matter what you say, this body now belongs to God King. There's absolutely no way you'll make me continue to cooperate with the experiments!"
Just as the staff were about to explain, God King Tang San suddenly noticed something.
He looked at Nguyen Mai, who was standing to the side, and his gaze swept over her.
From the moment they entered the lab, all the staff members wore Interastral Peace Corporation name tags around their necks, except for Ruan Mei.
God King Tang San suddenly felt that he had found a loophole.
He pointed at Nguyen Mai and said with a sneer, "Wait! Didn't you just say that this body is the property of the Interastral Peace Corporation?"
The staff member nodded. "Yes, Mr. Tang San."
"Then this God King would like to ask you!"
God King Tang San pointed at Ruan Mei and questioned her with righteous indignation:
"Since it's your company's property, what gives her the right to order me, the God King, to cooperate with the experiment? She doesn't even have your company's employee badge on her; she's not even an employee of your company!"
