Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 553 Rebellion

Tang San's gaze fell once more on the wreckage, a glint of unfathomable light flashing in his deep Rakshasa Divine Eyes. He continued his command, his tone still calm, but uttering a sentence that sent chills down even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's spine:

"Also, use this guy to study how to transform the god-slaying into an absorbable... soul ring."

He paused, then added, "My second martial soul is still missing its final soul ring."

"Wh...what?!" Even though Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was somewhat prepared, it was still so frightened that it trembled all over and almost lost its mental mimicry. It swallowed a mouthful of imaginary saliva with difficulty, its small eyes wide open.

Hunting spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings is an unchanging law of the Douluo Continent. But hunting gods? Using the supreme deities as the source of spirit rings? This is simply a mad idea that subverts cognition and defies the laws! How audacious, how... outrageous!
At the bottom of the deep sea, the chill was even stronger. Tang San stood there quietly, his gaze distant, as if he were already planning an unprecedented path to heaven paved with divine remains.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm slowly recovered from her extreme shock, watching Tang San retrieve the dimly lit Sea God's throne that was about to fall into the deep sea and store it in her other-dimensional space.

Tianmeng Bingcan silently pondered, and couldn't help but feel a sense of horror—the Douluo Star, from its power to its top-tier strength, had now been completely controlled by the man in front of her!

The most powerful sect, the Clear Sky Sect, is his foundational sect; the Spirit Hall, which could rival him, exists in name only, and the new Pope, Qian Renxue, has a close relationship with him; among the four super spirit beasts, the Evil Eye Tyrant (Evil Emperor) and the Deep Sea Demon Dragon King (Sea Emperor) were personally hunted down by him, and the Snow Empress's original spirit power was sacrificed to him after she transformed into human form, becoming a spirit ring; of the four divine positions existing on Douluo Star, the Sea God and Rakshasa God are already in his hands, and the Angel God position is also under his control, with only the Asura God position remaining undecided, but the Asura Divine Sword is in Bibi Dong's possession...

It was as if all things in heaven and earth had been directly or indirectly captured by him!
Tianmeng Bingcan mustered all her courage and asked with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, "Third...Third Master, I have some questions...I don't know if I should ask them."

Upon hearing this, Tang San slowly turned his head, his Rakshasa Divine Eye calmly gazing at it as he said, "Ask away."

Tianmeng Bingcan took a deep breath and organized her thoughts: "Third Master, was all of this... something you had planned all along?"

"Hmm?" Tang San raised an eyebrow, signaling it to continue.

"It's about... from the moment the Deep Sea Demon Dragon King seized the Sea God's throne, to Qian Xunji's secret scheming against the Demon Dragon King, ultimately reaping the benefits and achieving dual godhood... You were the first to discover the 'Insect People,' the first to kill the evil god's followers, and the one who killed and transformed the evil god's divine will. Others may not understand Qian Xunji, but you... should have seen through his sinister intentions long ago, right?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cautiously observed Tang San's expression. Seeing that he remained silent and attentive, she mustered her courage and continued, "I used to think that you gave your qualification for the Asura God Exam to Dong-jie because you possessed the Rakshasa Godhood, which created an attribute conflict. But the Asura Godhood has a chosen successor, and the Asura God, if not dead, wouldn't allow you to use it to evolve your martial soul... Did you already foresee that Qian Xunji would use the Deep Sea Demon Dragon King to plot for dual godhood? Or even... deliberately set a trap to lure him in?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm grew increasingly alarmed as she spoke, feeling a chill run from her tailbone to the top of her head. All of this seemed to progress smoothly; Qian Xunji and the Deep Sea Demon Dragon King had almost achieved perfection—transforming into a dragon and becoming a god, gaining dual godhood, and reaching the pinnacle! But what was the result? Both perished, and Tang San not only absorbed the Demon Dragon King's million-year soul ring and soul bone, but now even the newly-god-like Qian Xunji was a prisoner, and was even about to be studied on how to "convert" him into a soul ring!

That coveted dual divine power, after many twists and turns, finally ended up in Tang San's hands.

This may seem like a stroke of luck, but upon closer inspection, it's more like an intricately planned scheme, with one crisis following another. Especially Tang San's own spirit ring configuration—it's just the right amount. His second spirit ring is precisely missing the Deep Sea Demon Dragon King spirit ring, representing the supreme ruler of the ocean, and the spirit ring formed from the Six-Winged Angel spirit ring, symbolizing the ruler of the sky… Even the positions were pre-arranged. Is this really just a coincidence?
Upon hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's meticulous analysis, Tang San was first slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. He reached out and patted its soft, bouncy body, laughing, "Tianmeng, it's a waste of your talent not to write legendary tales."

Tang San's laughter rippled gently across the deep sea, leaving Tianmeng Ice Silkworm even more perplexed. Was this laughter an admission of agreement, or a sign that it found its guess too absurd?
ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh, Tianmeng Bingcan murmured, "No wonder Third Master said my god-making plan was naive back then."

Tang San used a spatial teleportation technique to leave the unfathomable sea, leaving the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm behind. Even though the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had already been sacrificed, Tang San's current strength was simply too great; his domain could now 'cover the entire globe'!
The next moment, Tang San's figure flickered and vanished without a trace from the bottom of the ten-thousand-meter-deep trench, leaving only the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the remains of Qian Xunji, who was tightly imprisoned by the Evil Eye Soul Bone. Even though the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had already sacrificed itself and was connected to Tang San's soul, it still felt a chill—Tang San's current strength meant that his spiritual sense domain could probably cover the entire Douluo Star! On this planet, almost no secret could escape his notice.

The shimmering surface of the sea replaced the absolute darkness of the deep ocean. Tang San's figure appeared silently, his gaze calmly fixed on the distance, where a graceful yet somewhat lonely purple figure was quietly gazing at the vast, boundless sea.

It's Bibi Dong.

She actually predicted with great accuracy that Tang San had not completely destroyed Qian Xunji, and even found this place.

"Don't worry," Tang San said, his voice clear and steady in the sea breeze, "Once the method for 'God Hunter' to transform his soul rings is successfully researched, I will immediately annihilate him completely, ensuring he will never be reborn." His promise was direct and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.

However, upon hearing this definitive answer, Bibi Dong's stunningly beautiful face did not show the expected joy or relief. On the contrary, her expression was unusually calm, a deathly stillness like ashes after a fire had burned out, and even... a deep, unsettling sense of bewilderment.

She continued gazing at the magnificent horizon where the sea met the sky, gently shaking her head. The sea breeze ruffled her purple hair, and her voice was so soft it sounded like a sigh: "For him, this is worse than death. My revenge... is complete."

There was no joy in her words of revenge, only a profound emptiness that had permeated the long years and exhausted almost all her love and hate. The greatest obsession that had sustained her life had suddenly vanished.
