Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 428 The Creator God Needs Mercy...

Seven days later, Tang Xiao of the Haotian Sect led two elders and three hundred Haotian disciples to Soul Sea City.

Why not Tang Hao?

Tang Xiao was naturally worried that Tang San and Tang Hao would clash, so he arranged for Tang San and the other three elders to guard the sect together, while he himself brought the second elder and the sixth elder, who were two elders with slightly better tempers.

"With the help of the Clear Sky Sect, we will surely win this battle." Ge Long met with Tang Xiao and the others. Although he knew that Tang San had some connection with the Clear Sky Sect, he couldn't refuse someone who was smiling, especially since they had come to help him.

There's no reason to refuse.

Tang San was also present at the Spirit Hall, but he only exchanged a few polite words with this blood-related "uncle" in his capacity as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, without showing any sign of intimacy.

The second and sixth elders looked indignant, but in this situation, they couldn't say anything and would have to discuss it further later.

"May I ask Marshal Ge Long, how is the battle going?" Tang Xiao recalled the ditch outside Soul Sea City, with a rain shelter over it. Tens of thousands of people were lying, sitting, or standing inside, densely packed together. Judging from their appearance, they were not native to Douluo Continent; their skin was darker and their lips were thicker.

Although people living near the endless desert also have relatively dark skin, there is still a noticeable difference compared to these people.

They must have been prisoners of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Since the Battle of Xiaohai City, the bandits of the Sun Moon Empire have attacked again and occupied Xiaohai City, but for the past seven days, they have been setting up camp and haven't made any major moves." Golong briefly explained the situation of the Sun Moon Army after reoccupying Xiaohai City, and said, "Judging from the current situation, they intend to wear us down."

They don't need to worry about a protracted war.

The Sun Moon Empire's supply lines need to be transported from the Sun Moon Continent overseas, but they don't need to worry about that, as they can rest and prepare for the worst.

The only problem is their high-end combat capabilities.

It's truly puzzling that the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, instead of staying in the Sun Moon Empire, has come here and possesses such formidable strength.

Could it be that things aren't chaotic on the Sun and Moon Continent?

If an empire can function normally without an emperor, then what is the point of the emperor's existence? Does he not even need to handle political affairs?

What a complete tyrant!

"I wonder what kind of plan Marshal Golong intends to take?" Tang Xiao frowned. He didn't know much about war. Although he was more composed than Tang Hao, he was only good at managing sects. As for war... he felt that it was better to just fight directly and find out how strong the Sun and Moon Emperor was, what kind of side effects there would be from using such extraordinary power.

This is far more useful than just sitting here waiting.

"Over the past seven days, we have also drafted a letter of indictment and a letter of compensation, and went to negotiate with them..." Marshal Goron said.

Tang Xiao's brows furrowed like semi-solidified volcanic lava, utterly bewildered—what was the point? The war hadn't even started, and they were already thinking about demanding compensation from them?

The opponent has someone capable of unleashing god-level power!

Are you so sure you can win?

Could it be that Tang San is confident in dealing with that Sun Moon Emperor...? Yes, only this nephew with unparalleled talent has such ability. But why did he join the Spirit Hall?

Hao-di, you're so irresponsible!

"...Unfortunately, they didn't agree."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao was speechless.

"However, they have also issued a challenge to us, hoping to have a one-on-one soul battle outside Soul Sea City in half a month."

"Best of three. If they win, Xiaohai City and the surrounding territory will belong to the Sun Moon Empire; if we win, they will withdraw from Douluo Continent and compensate for all reasonable losses."

Tang Xiao's brows relaxed slightly.

This method is perfect for the disciples of Haotian. One-on-one duels are what they excel at, and it also enhances the prestige of their clan leader, Haotian.

They arrived just in time!

"But we refused."

Goron's next words shattered Tang Xiao's illusions: "Xiaohai City is Tiandou's territory. Therefore, the New Tiandou Federation, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall did not interfere. I reported to His Majesty, but he did not agree. Moreover, Earl Silver Blue also said that the other party is an overseas invader and has no right to use anything on this land as a gambling stake."

"This represents the dignity of an empire. If we agree, we can use Xiaohai City today and Soul Customs tomorrow. In a little longer, we might even have to use Tiandou City as a stake."

"If the other party wants to gamble, then gamble with the territory of the Sun and Moon Continent."

"Xiaohai City is only temporarily occupied by them; we can take it back later!"

Although Xu Huang's combat power was heaven-defying after he obtained the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation, Tang San also knew that his subordinates could massacre a city, but he himself could not.

If he did that, the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation would be taken from him.

How could the Creator not be benevolent?

Of course, Tang San wouldn't pin his hopes on the other party's "mercy." After all, even gods have emotions and desires, and can lose their minds at times, let alone humans.

This is something you shouldn't test.

Unless you are absolutely certain.

For example, when Tang San encountered the Star Crown Sect in the Infinite Desert, he dared to be so arrogant because he was confident he could wipe them all out.

However, there is no absolute certainty at present.

However, Xu Huang certainly didn't want to lose the throne of Eternity and the Seal of the God of Creation, so even if they attacked later, he wouldn't use that power to deal with their allied forces unless absolutely necessary.

It can be said that the longer the time goes on, the more advantageous it will be for Tang San.

As long as people continue to use the Blue Silver Network and enter the Starry Sky World, that space will continue to grow, and Tang San's power will continue to increase. The only benefit that the passage of time can bring to Xu Huang is to improve his own soul power level.

As for control over the throne of the god of eternity and creation...

To reiterate, Xu Huang is merely a user; the real control lies with the divine thought left within by the Creator God: the Lord of Eternity.

This is something Tang San also observed seven days ago when he stimulated Xu Huang with his thought form, forcing him to unleash a slash using the Eternal and Creation Swords.

Having power but lacking understanding.

To put it more bluntly, the throne of the Eternal God and the God of Creation is like a supercomputer. Xu Huang only has the right to use it, while the real control and dominance are in the hands of the Eternal Lord. Every inch of the throne's structure and every path of divine power flow is the imprint of the Creator God.

In Tang San's view, to truly control the Throne of Eternity and Creation, he not only needed to defeat the Lord of Eternity, but also needed to reforge the entire Throne of Eternity and Creation, that is, replace the "basic program logic operation equations" within it with his own.

This is what is called—

Imprinting divine consciousness!
