Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 666: The Trial of Tang San? (Two Chapters Combined)

Haotian Castle.

"Is this why you came to us?"

After hearing Chen Junting's words, Niu Tian and Titan felt a sense of heaviness and frustration. But they had to admit that Chen Junting's words were indeed difficult to refute.

"You must make a choice."

Chen Junting stood atop the cliff, letting the breeze brush against his clothes, but his aura shielded and suppressed the light of the sea god within Haotian Fortress, preventing it from causing the slightest disturbance.

“You are well aware that after being resurrected by Tang San and accepting positions as divine officials in the God Realm, you are not allowed to descend to the mortal realm, not even by sealing your cultivation. This is the rule. If this matter is exposed, you will face judgment.”

Titan, with his most impatient temper, had restrained himself throughout because of Chen Junting's strength, but now he couldn't hold back any longer. "So what exactly do you mean?"

"Second brother."

Niu Tian was helpless and hesitated to speak.

"I think I've made myself very clear."

Chen Junting glanced at Titan out of the corner of his eye, then fixed his gaze on him with an extremely formal expression. He held up two fingers and said, "First, you return to the God Realm; second, you enter the small plane I created for the soul beasts."

"However, I suggest you choose the second one."

"What exactly is your purpose in doing this?"

Having successfully stopped Titan from speaking again, Niu Tian looked at Chen Junting with unprecedented vigilance. He was worried that this guy would trick him again, after all, the experience of the past month was still vivid in his mind, and he felt deep regret for his actions!
He assisted Di Tian in attacking Tang San's father.

If this is exposed, the two brothers are finished.

Therefore, rationally speaking, Niu Tian would like to choose the second option.

He knew without even thinking that war would break out in the God Realm in the future, and he didn't want his two brothers to become cannon fodder, especially if Tang San might hold a grudge against them.

Although they have died once and are not afraid of death, it does not mean that they want to be drawn into the vortex and rush in to seek death.

However, he was worried that the second option might be a trap!
It's the kind of scam that will kill you without any repercussions.

"rest assured."

Having roughly understood why Niu Tian reacted so strongly, Chen Junting felt no embarrassment and immediately revealed the truth: "I wanted you to choose the second one because of Dong'er's request, and also because I wanted to repay you for the help you gave me back then. It's also because the Soul Beast Clan needs a divine beast to guard it."

At this point, Chen Junting's tone gradually became somber.

"Because, to put it bluntly, it's hard to trust human nature. Right now, there are my constraints and agreements reached by various forces, but people are always forgetful, especially with the passage of time. They will always forget all the lessons learned. So I have no doubt that even after a thousand years, ten thousand years... when humanity has god-level powerhouses, they still won't invade the territory of the soul beasts?"

When asked a rhetorical question, Chen Junting shook his head first.

Ecology is inviolable.

Therefore, soul beasts and humans must coexist.

However, racial differences already make coexistence difficult. With the advent of technological advancements and the disparity in strength between the two sides, coexistence between spirit beasts and humans becomes even more challenging!
He would never be in an ideal state regarding this matter.

"So you want us to become the foundation of the Soul Beast race."

Niu Tian's eyes flickered as he learned of Chen Junting's purpose. "Then do you know that the Soul Beast Clan actually has another master?"

"of course."

Chen Junting nodded, looking as if he had everything under control.

"That's right, you don't... wait!" Niu Tian blurted out, probably quite confident. But he quickly realized what he meant.

His expression of astonishment was extremely abrupt. "You knew?!"

"Silver Dragon King, right?"

"You actually know that?"

After Chen Junting called out his name, Niu Tianxin clicked his tongue in surprise, ignoring Titan who was already looking a little confused, and instantly became serious. "If you knew about His existence, you should also be very clear that in reality, the gap between humans and soul beasts in the Douluo plane is actually the opposite of what you said."

Is it the opposite?
Recalling the astonishing wisdom displayed by the Silver Dragon King in the era of the original Dragon King Legend, Chen Junting harbored 99 percent doubt, not even 1 percent less.

There is a big thunder.
What's the use if it's practically a dud?

How can we restrain human ambition and maintain a healthy ecosystem?

Of course, while this statement is more of a joke, the Silver Dragon King's strength is undeniable and cannot be ignored.

"I have my own considerations on this matter."

Chen Junting waved his hand, "Most of the time, the Silver Dragon King is in a deep sleep recovering from his injuries, so he can't manage the affairs of the soul beasts. Secondly, as long as he recovers, I will forcibly bring him to the God Realm, whether he is willing or not."

A being at the level of a god-king would ultimately disrupt the balance of the mortal realm. Moreover, once she recovers, the soul beasts won't be at peace, as they too harbor ambitions. Chen Junting had no doubt about this. Therefore, as he said, if the Silver Dragon King truly recovers, he will absolutely not allow her to remain in the mortal realm.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the Tauren and Titans, who are considered the most friendly to humans, are the most suitable beings, ignoring the Silver Dragon Queen. If you truly disagree, you'll have to think of another way.

"Alright! We agree!"

Niu Tian immediately agreed! He even directly replaced Titan. Everything had been said and explained; to refuse now would be incredibly rude.

Titan's expression was no longer confused.

However, he had nothing to say and left it to Niu Tian to decide.

"Very well, let's get going then."

Chen Junting didn't give the two a chance to linger. With a wave of his hand, he directly swept them into a space, and his own figure flashed and completely disappeared from the spot.

At the top of the cliff of Haotian Fortress, only air remained, along with the Haotian Fortress disciples who arrived late but failed to see the two sect leaders.

A moment later, in the Starry Sky Small Plane.

"Roar--"

"boom--"

With a roar and a muffled thunderclap, a giant ape the size of a mountain descended from the sky! Closely following behind was a blue dragon that was constantly moving in the thunderclouds that suddenly filled the sky, but the dragon's head also had the appearance of a bull's head.

"That is!?"

The commotion in the smaller plane quickly attracted the attention of Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. When they arrived, they witnessed a black giant ape standing on the ground roaring, and a blue divine dragon displaying its dragon might in the thunderclouds.

Especially their imposing presence…

"Mythical beast?!"

Where did these two guys come from?!

But why does one of them have a scent that feels both familiar and unfamiliar? Have I encountered them somewhere recently?
Di Tian had just begun to have doubts.

"That is…"

As the Crimson King looked at the two somewhat familiar figures and auras, memories from more than ten thousand years ago suddenly flooded his mind. "Di Tian, ​​those seem to be the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python that died ten thousand years ago."

His voice interrupted Di Tian's thoughts.

"Dead? How did he die?"

"He died as a sacrifice to the sea god." Di Tian did not doubt the Red King's words.

After all, they were all asleep at the time, and only the Red King was still somewhat conscious, thus taking charge of contacting the outside world.

"That means they became gods after they were resurrected."

Once he understood this, Di Tian immediately assumed it was the work of the Sea God.

With a flash of insight, he immediately notified Chen Junting. Without their master's intervention, they were utterly powerless to stop him.

But the message had just been given: "Don't be nervous."

Suddenly, Chen Junting appeared beside Di Tian and reassured the group of ferocious beasts, "I found them." He then introduced them to Di Tian, ​​saying, "This Azure Dragon is Niu Tian, ​​who went to the Douluo Plane with you and fought alongside you."

"No wonder!"

Di Tian suddenly realized.

No wonder he felt the dragon's aura was familiar. It was just that there were differences between then and now, which was why he couldn't recognize it at first.

Seeing that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Di Tian inquired about the reason why the two had come here. Chen Junting then gave his explanation.

"what!?"

……

"Then let's do as we agreed beforehand."

Chen Junting looked at Niu Tian and Titan, who had regained their true forms—no, they should now be called Da Ming and Er Ming again.

"Okay. But..."

Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance, a hint of hesitation flashing across their large heads, but they still spoke under Chen Junting's gaze, "Since you won in the end, can you let Sister Xiao Wu go?"

Chen Junting wasn't surprised, but his smile was somewhat amused.

"Are you really sure we can win?"

Isn't that a matter of course?
Although they were just priests, they were well aware of the power surrounding Tang San because of Xiao Wu. If a real fight broke out, only his brothers and sisters who ascended to the God Realm with him would fully support him, and at most, the Seven Elemental Gods would also be included.

However, after Da Ming learned about the inheritance of Chen Junting's companions, he knew that without the support of the Seven Elemental Gods, Tang San would be no match for the Shrek Seven Devils on his own.

Even though Tang San had no chance of winning, and it could even be said that he was doomed to die, their only concern was for Xiao Wu.

"I cannot promise you that."

Chen Junting's tone was cold and unapproachable.

"As irresponsible parents who are not even fit to be parents, my idea is to let Dong'er handle it herself. So if you want to do something, talk to Dong'er."

Upon hearing this, Da Ming and Er Ming fell silent. After exchanging a speechless glance, Da Ming sank into the pool, and Er Ming closed his eyes. Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Chen Junting turned and left.

When he returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, he ran into Wang Dong'er. This time, she wasn't with Huo Yuhao. And it seemed she was waiting for him on purpose.

"Brother Junting."

Knowing Wang Dong'er's purpose, Chen Junting asked.

"Dong'er, since you care so much, are you sure you don't want to go see him?"

Recalling her time at Haotian Fortress, and the moments she shared with her first and second uncles, Wang Dong'er's eyes were filled with complex emotions. After a long silence, she finally came to her senses. "No. Perhaps I'll choose to meet them only after everything has settled down."

"Don't worry, it will be soon."

Currently, Gu Tianchen, Ning Tian, ​​and Huo Yuhao have all become Limit Douluos and are ready to inherit godhood at any time. Wu Feng, Dugu Xin, and Ye Guyi are also Super Douluos, only one or two steps away from becoming Limit Douluos. As for the remaining few, they are not far off. It won't be long before they all break through. At that time, they can ascend to the God Realm together.

However, at that moment, the realm of gods...

"This can't go on like this!"

Inside the Sea God Temple, Tang San's face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Just now, he learned some news from a god. The God of Destruction had informed the other three God-Kings and other main gods that they were convening a Divine Realm Committee to formally try him for violating the rules of the Divine Realm!

If this continues, he will be sitting and waiting to die.

Once the charges are proven, he will have a hard time recovering!

What made him feel even worse was that the God of Order from the Douluo Continent was about to ascend to the God Realm with his companions.

"We must find a way to break this deadlock."

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Tang San's mind.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze locked onto the Forbidden Land of Gods.

Let chaos come first!

The next second, his divine sense was transmitted out, and his own figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, the Divine Committee.

The god of destruction arrived here first, followed by the goddess of life, and then the god of good and the god of evil.

"Destruction, what is the purpose of summoning us?"

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin the meeting."

The God of Destruction did not answer, but went straight to the point.

However, the God of Evil and the God of Goodness, who were sitting in the back, saw that the Sea God's seat was vacant and spoke up to stop them, "Wait, Destruction. The Sea God hasn't arrived yet, and one of the five God-Kings is still missing."

"No, that's quite a lot."

The God of Destruction spoke in a very cold tone, and what he said next left Ji Dong and Lie Yan completely taken aback.

"Because the purpose of our meeting is to discuss several crimes committed by the Sea God, including knowingly breaking the law, abusing his power for personal gain, and interfering in human affairs. Therefore, a divine council should be convened, with all the chief gods of the divine realm invited to participate, to judge the Sea God's actions!"

"What!?"×2
Knowingly breaking the law, abusing one's power for personal gain, interfering in other people's affairs...

Could these things have been done by that sea god?!

Lie Yan suppressed his excitement, and after meeting Ji Dong's gaze, Ji Dong asked, "Could there be a mistake?"

"It can't be wrong."

The God of Destruction's confident tone and the Goddess of Life's tacit agreement instantly made Lieyan and Ji Dong realize that this was definitely not something the God of Destruction had done out of spite to suppress the Sea God, or rather, he wasn't that kind of person.

But based on that impression in his mind, Blazing Flame made a final "struggle": "Is there any concrete evidence to prove this? After all, to use such a large divine council to judge a god-king is really... rare in history, right?"

"indeed."

At this moment, the Goddess of Life spoke up, "It should be said that apart from the current Sea God, the divine realm has never experienced anything like this before."

Then, the God of Destruction took over the conversation.

"The evidence you want is here."
