Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Within the realm of gods.

"My lord, that fellow is ultimately just a mortal, utterly unworthy of your divine position. Why did you choose him as your successor?"

As he spoke, the god of wrath bowed slightly, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

If Lin Mu were to succeed the God of Destruction, he would become Lin Mu's superior and would definitely make things difficult for him.

However, Lin Mu probably won't kill him.

He was, after all, one of the seven original sin gods. If Lin Mu killed him, the remaining six original sin gods would be unable to activate the great formation, and the overall strength would be reduced by more than half.

Although their lives are not in danger, they will definitely be targeted by Lin Mu at every turn, and may even end up as the bottom-ranked of the Seven Deadly Sins Gods.

Thinking of this, a trace of regret welled up in the heart of the God of Wrath.

Just a few days ago, he took the initiative to report Lin Mu's situation to the Lord, but it had the opposite effect. It actually attracted the Lord's attention, and the Lord even planned to pass the throne to Lin Mu.

This is simply shooting yourself in the foot.

At this moment, the God of Destruction sat on his throne, looking down at the God of Wrath.

He was wearing a huge, dark purple cloak, the hood of which almost completely covered his head, revealing only a few strands of dark red short hair and scarlet eyes.

He lightly tapped the armrest of his seat, his sharp gaze discerning the thoughts of the god of anger, and said calmly:
“Anger, I know you have had some conflicts with the successor of this God-King.”

"Do you know that the Sea God came to see this God-King before?"

"He complained to me, the God-King, that you actually went to his place of inheritance, snatched someone from his hands, and even planned to harm his chosen successor."

"You were in the wrong first, and you should change your bad temper."

Upon hearing this, the God of Wrath was filled with disbelief; his master was actually showing such favoritism towards a human he had never met.

And that Poseidon guy, he's a bit too stingy.

However, after robbing him of a mere Black-level examinee, he actually went to complain to the master.

Moreover, this Black-level examinee was already a dying man; he had only brought him here to play around with. He never expected that the Sea God would hold such a grudge about it.

A moment later, the God of Wrath looked up at the God of Destruction above and solemnly said:

"My lord, I only wanted him to inherit my divine position, but he looked down on me and even destroyed my divine consciousness. What did I do wrong?"

Even now, the god of wrath still doesn't believe he did anything wrong.

As one of the seven original sin gods, he believed he had certain bottom lines and would never violate the rules of the divine realm like the God of Fire and the others in order to compete for the successor.

These three guys deserve to be punished!
However, this whole thing was Lin Mu's fault. As a human being, he dared to show no reverence for the gods.

"presumptuous!"

Seeing that the God of Wrath remained unrepentant, the God of Destruction slammed his hand on the armrest, stood up abruptly, and pointed at him, cursing:

"How dare you bring this up with me?"

"I haven't even settled this score with you yet. You were supposed to be one of my most capable lieutenants, but a mere mortal destroyed your divine sense. You've completely disgraced this God-King!"

"Besides, he is now the successor chosen by this God-King, how dare you be so ungrateful!"

The God of Destruction was furious. He had originally wanted to give the God of Wrath a way out, after all, he was a subordinate who had followed him for many years, but he didn't expect that the guy would not listen to him at all.

If it weren't for the Seven Deadly Sins Formation, he would have killed this guy.

However, he knew very well that the God of Wrath had always been like this, and it was precisely because he knew this that he was worried about the God of Wrath's future.

That being said, a subordinate is still just a subordinate, and he cannot change his mind for the sake of a subordinate.

Moreover, this decision wasn't made by him alone; it was a joint decision he made with his wife, so that they could retire early together and live a happy and fulfilling life. For them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to retire in the future, since it is almost impossible for a couple who are suitable for both the Destruction Godhood and the Life Godhood to appear again.

"My lord, I know I was wrong. Please punish me."

Upon witnessing the God of Destruction's thunderous rage, the God of Wrath instantly became docile.

He wouldn't have been afraid of any other first-level god, but he wouldn't dare to contradict his superior.

There are only two paths left now.

We either need to find a successor as soon as possible so we can escape sooner, or we need to disrupt Lin Mu's God of Destruction Trial and solve the problem at its root.

The latter is too risky; if the Lord finds out, he'll be completely finished.

Therefore, he could only choose the first path.

Inside the Poseidon Temple.

"Brother Lin Mu, during the process of absorbing the soul ring just now, I vaguely heard a woman's voice telling me to accept her divine test."

Having just absorbed the divinely bestowed soul ring, Ye Lingling threw herself into Lin Mu's arms, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

As long as she can obtain a divine position, she can enter the divine realm with her brother Lin Mu.

"Just now, I also received a divine test."

As he spoke, Lin Mu patted Ye Lingling's head and then touched the tree-shaped mark between her eyebrows.

In an instant, the scepter mark on his forehead flashed.

This completely confirmed his suspicions: the inheritance he received was the God of Destruction, while Ye Lingling's inheritance was the God of Life.

"Master, you've received another divine test?"

Tang San's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He had finally obtained one divine test, while his master had easily received four divine tests. This was something he could not compare to at all.

Besides him, Yu Tianheng and the others also stared at Lin Mu in astonishment.

Although they had passed the sea god's test and their strength had greatly improved, compared to the divine inheritance, their improvement was nothing.

"Now there is only one left. The previous three divine tests have all disappeared."

Lin Muyun said calmly.

Compared to the legacy of the God of Destruction, the legacy of the Elemental God is indeed not very tempting, and the Thunder Yatalis, who wields the power of thunder, is indeed very suitable for the position of God of Destruction.

However, he had not initially considered destroying the divine position.

After all, the God of Life and the God of Destruction are husband and wife, and the God of Destruction certainly wouldn't retire alone, which means that the positions of the two God Kings must be passed down simultaneously.

Although Ye Lingling's martial soul is of the life attribute, her talent is clearly insufficient to be inherited.

According to Lin Mu's original plan, it would be good enough if Ye Lingling could inherit the position of a second-level god; inheriting the life god's test would be almost impossible.

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems the God of Life has lowered the standards.

"Only one divine test remains."

As he pondered this, Tang San looked at the scepter mark on his master's forehead; the mark alone contained an extremely terrifying aura.

Therefore, this deity should be slightly stronger than the sea god. (End of Chapter)
