Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 393 The Faith of Angels, Rarely

"The Golden Trident, the ultimate water element... You're thinking of going to Seagod Island, right?" Although it was a question, Tang San spoke in a declarative tone.

Trident, Ultimate Water.

In addition, this transmigrator had read the Douluo series, and without the help of a super powerful cheat, he could only go to Seagod Island, hoping that the Seagod would choose him.

Moreover, with a martial spirit that is similar to the Trident of Poseidon, even if it went to Poseidon Island and did not undergo the divine test, the local residents would probably still show it respect.

The chance of obtaining the Nine Trials of the Sea God is close to 90%, if not 100%. Besides, that Sea God has always wanted to pass on his divine position and leave the realm of gods to explore the wider universe.

"Um, you're not worried that I'll steal your divine position, are you?" Hawke asked anxiously.

"I have no interest in the divine positions in the God Realm, and besides, I walk the path of life and destruction. Speaking of which, the God of Life and the God of Destruction sent a wisp of their divine consciousness down to the mortal realm to find me." Tang San shrugged and said nonchalantly, "But I didn't agree, after all, inheriting a divine position is a huge pitfall."

Hawke chuckled, but deep down he was certain that Tang San would never give up the divine position he had come to him for.

Which time traveler could refuse to become a god?

Even if they refuse now, they'll definitely try to contact the divine realm when they realize they're getting old and dying.

For example, Zhou Weiqing in "The Heavenly Jewel Change".

However, Tang San is an "immortal," with his Qi and Blood Golden Core, Soul Power Core, and Spiritual Spirit Grid assisting in the circulation of essence, Qi, and spirit, constructing a microcosm within his human body. His own soul has also been transformed into a primordial spirit, equivalent to the will of the human body's universe.

As long as he is not killed, he can live indefinitely with an almost endless lifespan. How could he die of old age?

"Hawk, let's go." Tang Luoya came out of the inner room, called to Hawke, and prepared to return to the Soul Guidance Technology City.

Inside the house, he hoped that Tang Yuehua could use her relationship with Tang San to obtain the method for making the Soul Armor, but Tang Yuehua refused and even warned him not to have any crooked thoughts and to be down-to-earth.

In my second life, I was actually educated!

This is absolutely outrageous!

However, given Tang Yuehua's seniority and Tang San's presence outside, it wasn't appropriate to argue forcefully; a more measured approach was necessary...

···

After the two left, Tang Yuehua revealed Tang Luoya's purpose and sighed, "This person is a third-generation disciple of the Haotian Sect. He has good talent and has already reached level 49. He came to Wuhun City and witnessed the power of the Soul Armor. However, since the Soul Armor is not for sale, he began to try to steal it. Currently, he is a forging apprentice in the Soul Guidance Technology City and can forge a hundred times."

Tang San nodded. He knew all this information, and in more detail than Tang Yuehua had gotten from the other party. He said, "He's not important, no need to worry about him. But you can keep an eye on Hawke. You might need to compete with him for your spirit ring skills in the future."

"That guy?" Tang Yuehua asked, puzzled.

"His martial soul is a trident, possessing extreme water elemental power, and he has a chance to inherit the position of the Sea God," Tang San said. "The Sea God's legacy is on Sea God Island."

"Poseidon Island?"

"This name might be unfamiliar to you, but you've probably heard of Devil's Island, right?"

Tang Yuehua suddenly realized.

I've certainly heard of Devil Island. It's an isolated island located hundreds of kilometers off the coast of Hanhai City in the Tiandou Empire. It's said that no one who goes there ever comes back, hence the name "Devil Island".

I never expected that the sea god's legacy would be there!

Tang Yuehua was no stranger to gods, after all, her grandfather Tang Chen was working hard to pass the test of the Asura God.

But that sea god isn't a benevolent deity, is he?

Otherwise, the rumor that they would never return once they left home would not have spread, causing people to turn pale at the mere mention of it.

"The existence of Seagod Island is similar to that of the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship. It has a Grand Elder of Level 99 and many Seagod followers: Title Douluo. Moreover, those Seagod followers there are much more fanatical than the Angel followers here."

Tang San continued, "The reason there are rumors that you can't come back once you go to a certain place is because once you go to Seagod Island, you have to undergo a test given by the Seagod. If you fail, you die; if you pass, you can get a reward. The most basic reward is an increase in soul power. A better reward is an increase in the age of your soul ring. An even better reward is a divinely bestowed soul ring, which means you can get a soul ring without having to hunt for one. It is said that the soul ring will evolve into the most suitable soul skill based on your own martial soul."

"If we could figure out the underlying principles..."

"Never mind, we've gone off on a tangent."

"Even if you pass the test on Poseidon Island, you can't leave. Otherwise, everyone on the island will see you as a traitor to the faith of the Poseidon, and you'll be hunted down by the entire island. In serious cases, the high priest of Poseidon Island might even use the authority granted to him by the Poseidon to eliminate him across space."

Tang Yuehua shuddered and exclaimed in alarm, "Isn't the Sea God definitely an evil god?"

That would definitely be training slaves, wouldn't it?

The people living there are definitely not normal in the head, just like... the Haotian Sect!

Suddenly, Tang Yuehua seemed to understand something, a wave of fear washing over her. Then she asked another question: "So, why did those gods do this?"

"Faith." Tang San wasn't afraid that Tang Yuehua would know, because as long as she wanted to maintain her intellectual independence, she couldn't pass this message on to the Clear Sky Sect. Tang Chen must also know the power of faith. "Faith in gods can directly enhance their strength, but correspondingly, it will gradually distort their personality, making them the way believers see them... Powerful gods don't need faith, while some gods who realize that faith is problematic have their divine artifacts imbued with faith, and use faith to strengthen the artifacts."

"That's what the sea god is like."

"He left his faith on the mortal planet, nurturing his martial spirit/divine weapon: the Trident of the Sea God."

"In this world, the most worshipped god is the Sea God. It is precisely because of this that Sea God Island can so generously bestow divine trials upon its native inhabitants or those who enter it—this requires faith as an energy source. Correspondingly, have you ever heard of the Spirit Hall bestowing divine trials upon others on a large scale to gather believers?"

"No." Tang Yuehua shook her head. She didn't even know about the existence of the Angel God, considering it just a legend.

After digesting all this information, she didn't ask Tang San why he knew so much—Tang San was the Holy Son, the Spirit Hall possessed the inheritance of the Angel God, and had even attacked Seagod Island before…

I know this.

Very normal.

However, Tang Yuehua believed that most of the information was Tang San's own speculation, rather than a summary by personnel from the Spirit Hall. "Is it because there is little faith in the Angel God?"

"Very few, especially after Bibi Dong became Pope, the number of angels has decreased even more. After all, the most famous person in the Spirit Hall now is Pope Bibi Dong, not the Angel God."

As for why Qian Daoliu didn't promote the Angel God... considering the original work, it's highly likely that the previous Angel God broke some taboo, causing the divine realm to intervene, thus preventing the angelic lineage from widely spreading their faith...

"Hawk, this guy has the potential to inherit the Nine Trials of the Sea God." Tang San revealed the direct reason why Tang Yuehua was paying attention to him. "And since your martial soul and spirit ring skills can inherit the power of a god, then you should still try to secure the position of Sea God... Based on your previous description of me, your spirit rings seem to be borrowing the power of a god, but can a god refuse?"
