Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 178 The Wrathful Sea God! The Excited Goddess of Life!

The night was deep and dark!

On Poseidon Island, in Zhu Ziyang's dormitory, Zhu Ziyang sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his expression natural, clearly in a meditative state. The room was quiet and still; the sounds of his breathing and heartbeat were clearly audible.

A strange and inexplicable feeling spread out, and Zhu Ziyang's body suddenly trembled, but then returned to normal, as if nothing had changed.

However, Zhu Ziyang's soul has already arrived in a mysterious and special space.

"Where am I?" Zhu Ziyang opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise, doubt, and a hint of fear. He recalled what had just happened. He was cultivating when he suddenly heard a "ding" sound. When he opened his eyes, his soul was already in this place.

After a brief period of fear and unease, he seemed to understand something, and his mind calmed down as he began to survey this unfamiliar space. He opened his eyes, and all he could see was a grayish-white, undetectable mist. The mist blocked his spiritual senses and shielded his five senses; only the space less than a meter around his body was perceptible.

This feeling was both familiar and strange to Zhu Ziyang. He understood the reason more and more, and a surge of excitement and anticipation welled up inside him. Sure enough, just as he was feeling somewhat lost, a cold voice entered his ears: "Move forward!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang immediately smiled. It was the voice of that unfamiliar deity from before.

Without hesitation, he followed the voice's guidance and plunged into the hazy mist. Upon entering the mist, his soul instantly became incredibly heavy, making it difficult for him to move. But the next second, his soul became incredibly light, as if he could float. This alternating sensation of heaviness and lightness kept Zhu Ziyang's soul in a state of constant confusion.

He could only subconsciously follow the voice's guidance and walk forward. When Zhu Ziyang regained consciousness, he felt his soul become clear, as if he had experienced a baptism of heaven and earth and returned to the simplicity of his birth.

Zhu Ziyang opened his eyes and saw that what was in front of him was no longer gray, but an ancient and grand hall. The hall seemed to reach the sky, or it seemed to descend to the abyss. It stood in the center of a mysterious space, and its reality was unknown.

Beneath Zhu Ziyang's feet was a staircase leading to the mysterious hall. He could sense that the staircase had a total of one hundred steps, but only the first step was truly visible; the remaining ninety-nine steps were hazy and invisible. On the first step, patterns with peculiar melodies were engraved, seemingly symbolizing the Yellow Springs and the other shore.

On both sides of the steps, there are eighteen towering stone pillars, nine on each side, standing opposite each other. They are arranged in a very regular pattern, with two pillars for every ten steps. The stone pillars exude a mysterious charm, as if they are engraved with the mechanisms of heaven and earth, but Zhu Ziyang cannot see them clearly.

He was shocked, overjoyed, and proud. The mysterious divine voice in his ears confirmed that this was the place where the divine throne was passed down!

"Welcome to..."

"You audacious evil god, how dare you be so presumptuous!" A completely different voice came from the sky, as loud as thunder, carrying a righteous and awe-inspiring tone, and angrily rebuked!

"Tang San, you're the one who's being insolent!" Another voice rang out, filled with shock, anger, and resentment, roaring.

Zhu Ziyang was so shocked by the two voices that his soul trembled, and he was trembling and at a loss!

-

Let's go back to the time when Zhu Ziyang was pulled into the land of divine succession.

A beam of grayish-white light, imbued with a sense of holiness, shot out from Poseidon Island, strikingly bright against the deep night sky. Yet, no one could see it, not even Mu En. Across the entire continent, only a resentful dragon's roar echoed from a lake deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

The beam of light pierced through the clouds, soaring to the edge of the sky and reaching that unpredictable world.

-

In the divine realm, within the Divine Realm Council, three male deities sat in a triangular formation around a round table, handling the affairs of the divine realm.

Suddenly, the long-haired, deep blue-haired deity and the short-haired, dark red-haired deity simultaneously stopped what they were doing, their expressions changing. The blue-haired deity's face showed anger and surprise, like a cat whose tail had been grabbed, or someone whose cake had been touched; in short, he was furious. The red-haired deity's expression was relatively subtle, but the astonishment, suspicion, and excitement in his eyes were undeniable.

"Today's meeting is adjourned!" The blue-haired deity stood up abruptly and said in a calm voice, then disappeared before the eyes of the other two deities.

Seeing this, the red-haired deity did not linger and immediately followed, leaving the place.

The only remaining black-haired deity was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened, but he vaguely sensed a storm brewing. A helpless expression appeared on his face as he sighed, "Alas, these are turbulent times!"

After leaving the Divine Council, the red-haired deity went without hesitation to a vibrant palace. Just as he was about to enter, a goddess with long green hair rushed out. Her face was a mixture of excitement, joy, and sorrow, with a trace of a tear at the corner of her eye. Upon seeing the red-haired deity, the goddess immediately cried out excitedly, "Little Purple, can you feel it? Can you feel it? It's him! It's him!"

"Yes! I felt it!" The red-haired deity embraced the green-haired goddess, calming her down, and said sadly, "It must be him! It seems he really has fallen!"

"Waaah~" The green-haired goddess couldn't help but cry, her voice choked with sobs, "Little Purple, will we ever have a chance to see him again?"

"..." The red-haired deity fell silent for a moment, then said, "It's difficult. He should only have a wisp of divine consciousness left now. What we sensed from him was probably his divine position. He must have found a successor, otherwise he wouldn't have so easily initiated the divine position inheritance!"

"Waaah!" The green-haired goddess was even more heartbroken upon hearing this, but a resolute look appeared on her face as she said, "Since that's the case, then we must protect his heir and not allow him to be disturbed!"

"That's right!" said the red-haired god. He thought of the blue-haired god who had left in such a hurry earlier, and a shadow fell over his heart. He said, "Let's go quickly!"

The two deities vanished from their spot in an instant.

Returning to the blue-haired deity, after leaving the Divine Realm Committee, he returned to his temple, his face contorted with barely suppressed rage. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll see which blind fool dares to run wild on my territory!"

With a wave of his hands, he tore open a spatial rift, his gaze fixed on a mysterious space. Looking at the holy temple with an unknown aura, he didn't hesitate, reaching out to grab it while shouting, "You audacious evil god, how dare you be so insolent!"

The temple immediately blazed with divine light, attempting to deflect the massive hand that was slamming down upon it. However, this seemed futile, for just as the blue-glowing hand crossed the void and struck the unknown temple, a beam of green divine light shot rapidly from the depths of the void, striking the blue-haired deity's palm directly. At the same time, an angry, delicate shout rang out: "Tang San, how dare you be so insolent!"

The blue-haired god, Tang San, the Sea God, was interrupted by the sudden attack and had no choice but to withdraw his hand and close the spatial barrier. His face was gloomy and uncertain, filled with resentment and anger. He knew that if he couldn't deal with this unknown god this time, then he truly wouldn't be able to directly intervene to stop him!

"Damn it! I didn't figure out the identity of that god and the successor first. Otherwise, even if I couldn't act myself, I could have arranged for Da Ming and Er Ming to do it!" Tang San thought regretfully, his gloomy expression deepening. How could the Goddess of Life suddenly appear? It must be the God of Destruction's doing. Could that unknown god be related to the God of Destruction? Damn it, my understanding of that ancient divine history is still too limited. Otherwise, I should have been able to detect the identity of that unknown god!

Sea God Tang San was furious, yet could only rage helplessly. He went into the bedroom and vented his anger on his somewhat bewildered wife. After venting his anger, he didn't bother to comfort his wife, whose eyes were glazed over from his brutality. He immediately used his secret network to contact his agents on Douluo Continent, instructing them to keep an eye out for any suddenly rising powerhouses on the continent and eliminate them if possible.

"Damn it! Of all times!" Tang San gritted his teeth and said, "Of all times, it has to be the most crucial period of my plan. Could the appearance of that unknown god be its counterattack? Hmph, Chosen One, Huo Yuhao, I hope you grow up quickly! For you, I've sacrificed so much!"

On the other side of the divine realm, the green-haired goddess withdrew her hand, her pretty face showing anger and lingering fear, while the red-haired deity wore the same expression of fear. They were none other than the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction that Tang San had mentioned.

"This Tang San, he actually dared to do it!" the Goddess of Life said angrily.

"Heh, this was expected!" the God of Destruction said coldly. "Without the Rakshasa God, is the Asura God's position really so easy to hold?"

"Alright, now we can only hope that the successor he has chosen will live up to his potential!" the Goddess of Life said, her voice filled with both expectation and helplessness.

Today is not a good day for drawing cards...
