Douluo: Reincarnation of the Rock King, Wandering in the Mortal World

Chapter 358: Prelude to the Ascension

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the succession on Xue Ye.

During this period of time, Tiandou City has seen the rise of many prominent families, as well as the top dignitaries from many kingdoms and principalities.

They came to Tiandou City for only one purpose, and that was to witness the succession, which was a grand event.

Although Emperor Xue Ye has entered his old age, his age and physical strength are enough to support him for another ten or eight years, so there is no problem at all.

Now that he is passing on the throne, could it be that he is forced by the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe"?
It's not just one or two people who think this way, many powerful people think this way.

It is not impossible for the prince to have the powerful weapon Martial God Douluo as a guest official and force Emperor Xue Ye to pass the throne to "him".

For some people, it has only been three days, while for others, it has been three years.

Tang San, who is in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, is now experiencing the first level of hell, the Tongue-Pulling Hell.

His body was only punished for three days, but he experienced the same thing in the illusion for three whole years!

Tang San opened his eyes, which was a sign that someone else was going to cast an illusion on him.

Tang San, whose eyes were originally filled with light and who had infinite desire for the future, now had lifeless eyes.

Three years! God knows how he managed to get through these three years, even though only three days passed in the outside world.

After “three years”, there are still “more than a thousand years”!
Tang San didn't know if he could hold on. It was only three years, but his spirit almost collapsed.

If it was a normal punishment, he would have completed it according to the time.

But this punishment is not normal!

"I don't want to become a god anymore. Give up on me. Let me go..."

Tang San could hardly speak clearly at this moment, not only because he was in the tongue-pulling hell, but also because he had not communicated with anyone in the spiritual world for three whole years.

Even if I wanted to shout, I couldn't.

If this is the price of becoming a god, he would rather not become a god. This is too hard to bear.

The soul in Tang San's soul ring was sealed tightly at this time.

Because the rule of the City of Slaughter is to seal the soul ring.

If it weren't for her "blood connection" with Tang San, Xiao Wu would have doubted whether Tang San was dead.

Tang San should be thankful that during the time when Xiao Wu's soul ring was sealed, she could not hear words from the outside world, nor could she sense the outside world.

Otherwise, his trick of obtaining the spirit ring would have been exposed.

No matter how Tang San shouted, no one paid any attention to him. Seeing his reaction, they worked even harder.

As illusion-type evil soul masters, they enjoy torturing other people's minds. After the changes in the City of Slaughter, they can be said to be holding their breath.

Now they have Tang San, this unfair... ahem, experimental subject, they are so excited that they don’t even have time to express themselves.

"Tang San, enjoy yourself. You are the one that King Yama personally named and took care of."

When Tang San fell into the illusion again, the person who cast the illusion laughed.

Although it was a waste of soul power, it was worth it seeing Tang San being tortured like this.

what?
Why would they treat Tang San like this if they had no grudge against him?
They were just following orders, and besides, they enjoyed this kind of thing.

"I'm going to recover my soul first, you have to hold on a little longer."

"No problem. My mental and spiritual strength is enough to hold on until you fully recover."

There are not just two people but several people in charge of this "project". They have clear division of labor and are well organized.

"It better be this way!"

Tang San entered the illusion again and began a new round of torture.

He has become numb, but the mental pain is unavoidable.

Even though his mental strength was extremely powerful, he was still unable to contend with this group of evil soul masters.

Because the other party used special means to sharply reduce his mental strength, leaving him no chance to resist.

In this situation, what can Tang San do?
He could not even resist, and could only accept the punishment silently. "I don't want to become a god anymore, please let me go..."

Tang San kept begging, but gradually, he forgot to beg, and only knew that he was being tortured. He also gradually forgot why he was being tortured...

In Tiandou City, the city is decorated with lights and the whole country is celebrating today.

On the street, a group of people attracted attention.

You know, riding horses is prohibited in Tiandou City, but today is an exception.

The person riding the horse is "Xue Qinghe". Does that mean she is full of high spirits?

No, she was just dazed and confused.

The long-planned throne is about to be obtained, but "Xue Qinghe" feels that the burden on his shoulders has become much heavier.

She is carrying the entire people of the Tiandou Empire on her shoulders!
“Am I really ready?”

"Xue Qinghe" asked himself this question and was stunned for a moment.

Is this really the throne that she wants?
From the beginning to the end, all she wanted was Bibi Dong's approval...

When she reopened the business, her purpose had changed, but it was still not for these people.

I was given high hopes, but I didn't have these people in my heart...

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

"I will become the God of angels. God loves the world, so how can my love be so shallow?"

“The world is wonderful because of human beings. My focus was wrong.”

"From today on, I will learn to be a god..."

She became a god, but she did not perform the duties of a god. Instead, she was chasing after an insignificant person.

If everything in the dream was real, then she was really silly and cute.

To put it bluntly, it's stupid.

"Strange, why doesn't the prince look very happy?"

"This is a major event in the history of the throne. Shouldn't the prince be happy?"

The onlookers saw "Xue Qinghe" with a gloomy face and said in confusion.

They really didn't understand what was going on.

The prince became the emperor, and as a result “he” was unhappy.

It's really confusing.

Especially the Fourth Prince Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, they were full of doubts.

Could it be that they really had wronged the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe", and he really had no idea about the throne?
The deaths of the other two princes also have nothing to do with "Xue Qinghe"?
Logically speaking, "he" should be in high spirits and happy now, so why does he look like his father has died?
Xue Beng and Xue Xing looked at each other, but didn't know what message to convey, leaving only endless confusion and bewilderment.

"Your Highness, please don't be distracted!"

Not far from "Xue Qinghe" were Meng Shenji and the other two, who were reminded by Meng Shenji in a low voice.

Today is a huge event. "Xue Qinghe" should not be in this state no matter what.

After hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" came back to her senses. She nodded subconsciously and put on a professional smile on her face. The change was so great that it stunned people and they couldn't react for a while.

"This guy……"

The corner of Xue Beng's eyes twitched slightly. So this is how "Xue Qinghe"'s smile came about.

Subconsciously, subconsciously, "he" should laugh.

This shows that "Xue Qinghe" has subconsciously learned the disguise of smiling.

"How hypocritical, ugh!"
