Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 211 Death

The Mysterious King, hearing Yang Ping'an's words, asked with some confusion, "Little guy, why do you think I'm the Grim Reaper? Besides, if I remember correctly, I haven't appeared in Douluo Continent before."

Yang Ping'an bowed respectfully: "Senior, the Hell Flower is also known as the Flower of Death. Especially the Hell Flower before us, which is already mature, is probably something only the God of Death can possess. That is why I dare to guess that you are the God of Death."

The King of the Uncanny only scoffed at this moment: "The Grim Reaper? What Grim Reaper is there in this world? I am nothing but dust in history, and sooner or later time will erase my traces."

Yang Ping'an was shocked. Judging from the strange king in front of him, he was definitely the Grim Reaper. However, according to the records of the Douluo World, the Grim Reaper had never appeared before.

That can only mean one thing: Death must have perished in the battle of the Dragon Gods. What we see now is just a trace of Death's divine will left behind before his death. But even so, it should be an immense opportunity.

It should be noted that the Spirit Hall is known as the successor of the Angel God, but the real Angel God has probably been dead for countless years. What has kept the Spirit Hall standing for ten thousand years is only a trace of the Angel God's divine will, which can even pass down its legacy.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping'an quickly said, "Lord Death, gods are immortal beings. As long as you are still alive, you will surely be able to restore your former glory."

The King of Eeries remained silent for a while after hearing this, before finally speaking: "Little fellow, you know quite a lot. You already possess the aura of the Asura God. Do you perhaps have other desires?"

Yang Ping'an immediately knelt down on one knee: "Lord Death, please bestow your inheritance upon me. I am willing to become the new Death God, and I will definitely restore my predecessor's former glory."

The Mysterious King shook his head: "Little fellow, you're overthinking it. I only have a wisp of my divine soul left, so I can't subject you to any divine trials, let alone pass on my divine position to you. Besides, even if you inherit the position of the God of Death, the divine realm has already stabilized, and there's no longer a position for a God-King. Do you really want the new God of Death to be just an ordinary first-level god?"

Yang Ping'an's gaze was also extremely solemn at this moment: "Lord Death, as long as you can bestow your inheritance, I will do my utmost to help Death regain his position as God King."

The Mysterious King stared intently at Yang Ping'an: "I might consider this for others, but not for you."

"You already possess the divine will of the Asura God. With your aptitude and talent, coupled with your current bloodline, you have immense potential. Yet, the Asura God has not bestowed any inheritance upon you. There are probably still many unknowns involved."

"Besides, you clearly have the potential to become the next Asura God, so why did you run into this Death Forest? Aren't you being a little too greedy?"

Yang Ping'an's face was solemn: "Senior, I also hope to obtain the inheritance of the Asura God, but I can't wait any longer. I must become stronger as soon as possible, otherwise my hatred will be hopeless. I am willing to pay any price for revenge."

The King of Eeries merely sneered: "Hatred, I never imagined you were such a shallow person. Don't you know that compared to the countless years of a god's lifespan, mere hatred is but a drop in the ocean? Revenge is the least worthy of sympathy."

Yang Ping'an said with a face full of resentment: "Senior, you are mistaken. I know that you are powerful and have lived for countless years. All hatred will turn to dust with time. But my parents gave me life and raised me. This hatred is irreconcilable. If I cannot avenge them, I will not be worthy of being a son."

The King of Eeries was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter: "You little rascal, your so-called revenge is probably not that simple. If I'm not mistaken, your enemy has also obtained the inheritance of a god, and may even be someone chosen by the God of Asura."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but glance at the King of the Strange. As expected of the King of the Strange, who was the divine sense of the God of Death, he had experienced countless years and knew his current situation with just a little thought.

As the King of Ghosts said, his hatred was indeed not simple, and could even be said to be quite difficult to deal with.

Judging from the current timeline, the Spirit Hall will probably launch its Soul Hunting Operation soon. At that time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be wiped out, and I will no longer be able to seek revenge on Yu Luomian. The living can never seek revenge on the dead.

Similarly, judging from the current situation, Tang San will probably inherit the position of the Sea God sooner or later, even though he destroyed the City of Slaughter. The God of Asura has not made any move so far, neither a divine test nor any hint. Doesn't that mean that he has no way to inherit the position of the God of Asura?

Besides himself, the only other people in the entire Douluo Continent who possess the Killing God Domain are Bibi Dong, Tang Hao, and Tang Chen. If the Asura God doesn't choose him, he will have to choose one of the other three.

Bibi Dong may have no hope left, but Tang Hao and Tang Chen still have hope, especially Tang Chen. He has already completed the eight trials, and if his body can be healed, the position of the Asura God will be within his grasp.

After much scheming, it seems that Tang San's opportunities have not decreased much, and may even be no less than in the original story. With Tang San and Tang Chen around, how can I seek revenge on Tang Hao?

Yang Ping'an dared not gamble, nor did he dare to gamble on the changes that would occur in this world. He was willing to do anything to avenge himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping'an's face revealed a fierce look: "Senior, you are also a dignified God of Death. In terms of strength and seniority alone, you even surpass the God of Asura. Could it be that you are afraid of the God of Asura?"

The King of Eeries merely snorted coldly: "Boy, using provocation on someone like me is utterly pointless. I don't care about that brat Shura God, much less you. I originally thought you were quite good in every way, having emerged from the Hell Flower, but your character is simply too flawed. No wonder Shura God looks down on you."

Yang Ping'an was also extremely impulsive at this moment, completely baffled by the thought process of that group of people. He had mistakenly believed that seeking revenge was wrong. Shouldn't one seek revenge?

At this moment, Yang Ping'an abandoned his previous respect and stood up from his half-kneeling position: "Senior, I would like to ask you a question: If your parents and relatives were killed, would you seek revenge?"

Upon hearing this, the King of the Strange was speechless. During the war between the Dragon Gods, countless gods perished. It was impossible for them not to harbor hatred. Otherwise, the God of Death would not have survived to this day with only a trace of his remaining will.

As for the parents Yang Ping'an mentioned, the oldest gods in the God Realm were all born without fathers or mothers, born by chance and nurtured by nature. In their eyes, the Dragon God was like their parents.

Thinking of this, the King of the Strange couldn't help but sigh: "Boy, is hatred really that important to you? Are you willing to offend even a god?"

Yang Ping'an's face turned extremely ferocious at this moment: "Senior, I only hate ordinary people. From beginning to end, I only want revenge. If the gods want to show favoritism, I'll just fight to the death."

The Mysterious King shook his head: "Boy, you may not understand the difference between gods and humans. In the eyes of gods, everyone is just an ant. I don't know who your enemies are, but to be driven to this point and made to be so extreme, they must be extraordinary."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but laugh: "Senior, if it were any other god, perhaps they wouldn't care about this little bit of hatred, but you are the God of Death, the supreme god who controls all life and death in the world. In your hands, life and death are just a word."

The King of the Uncanny couldn't help but sigh: "I myself have already perished, and I don't even know how much time has passed, perhaps hundreds of thousands of years. I never imagined that there would still be people in the world who know about the Grim Reaper."

At this moment, the King of Eeries seemed to recall the past, his former glory as the Grim Reaper, and his days as the Dragon God. The shadow seemed to become even more unpredictable.

After an unknown amount of time, the King of Eeries finally spoke slowly: "Do you know what the God of Death is? Do you know the current situation in the God Realm? Even if I pass on the position of God of Death to you, in the eyes of the gods, you are still just an anomaly."

"The gods may not necessarily recognize you then, and they might even try to eliminate you. You may want revenge, but you should understand the nature of humanity in this world better. For the sake of the greater good, no one will care about sacrificing a few people, even if that person is someone they were once close to."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but laugh: "Senior, I don't know anything about the big picture or the small picture. I only know that blood debts must be repaid in blood, and I also know that as long as I am strong enough, stronger than the enemy, that's enough."
