Reincarnated as the Death Spider Queen, sacrificing Bibi Dong at the start

"The power of the Sea God?"

Nan Feng suddenly stood up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Poseidon... has also become a god?"

What a coincidence! Bibi Dong just completed the Asura inheritance, and Poseidon became a god at the same time?

Before Nan Feng could think any further, the dazzling light of the Sea God that shot up from the Sea God Temple seemed to have crossed the boundaries of space, instantly enveloping him on the distant shore.

The light receded in the next instant, and Poseidon, who had completely shed her mortal form and achieved the supreme status of the sea god, appeared before him silently, as if a deity had descended to earth, traversing space.

Looking at Poseidon, whose temperament had undergone a complete transformation and who was now radiating a divine glow, Nan Feng's expression was slightly unnatural, but he still nodded slightly and said, "Congratulations."

Poseidon watched him quietly, her figure slowly descending from mid-air, her gaze level with Nan Feng's. Those originally deep eyes now seemed like a vast ocean, encompassing all things.

“Now…” Poseidon’s red lips parted slightly, her voice ethereal and sacred, “I can truly resurrect you.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng paused noticeably, then waved his hand casually and shook his head: "No need, I think it's fine as it is now. There's really no need to be resurrected."

Poseidon wasn't surprised by the rejection. She paused for a moment, then looked at Nan Feng with a complicated expression and said softly:

“Lord Sea God… or rather, the former Lord Sea God, he just issued a divine decree instructing me to take you to the Sea God’s Temple.”

"Go to the Temple of Poseidon?" Nan Feng frowned slightly, looking puzzled. "What for?"

Poseidon replied calmly, "He said it was about your resurrection."

"Why is he telling me this?" Nan Feng was slightly taken aback. Was this old man being too nosy?

Poseidon shook his head slightly. "I don't know the specific reason either. However, the Sea God told me in the oracle that many gods in the divine realm have been secretly watching you. Now that Bibi Dong has successfully inherited the position of the Asura God, the next step... will be for those gods to discuss the issue of your 'belonging'."

"Belonging?!"

Nan Feng's eye twitched violently. This sounded like they were dividing up some spoils of war.

Poseidon reiterated that she was indeed not quite sure what the great figures in the divine realm were thinking. Without waiting for Nan Feng to resist, she used her divine power to sweep him away from the beach and instantly arrived deep within the solemn and majestic Temple of the Sea God.

In the center of the hall, the once lifeless statue of Poseidon was now shining with dazzling light, and a vast divine thought surged out like a tsunami.

Without giving Nan Feng any time to react or refuse, the divine sense enveloped him, forcibly pulling his consciousness from his body and dragging him into a mysterious dimension filled with endless pressure—

The Central Hub of the Divine Realm!

Chapter 401 When Tanking Off Encounters a Cunning Scheme: Nan Feng's Choices and Bonds

……

When Nan Feng regained his senses, he found himself in a magnificent hall surrounded by endless starlight and the power of laws.

Around him, five imposing figures, exuding a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one's spine, were looking down at him.

The Asura God, or rather the recently deposed former Asura God, the God of Evil, the God of Goodness, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life—these five god-kings who held the highest power in the divine realm—were all gathered together at this moment, their gazes all focused on the soul of this mortal.

Poseidon, who had just handed over the divine position, stood quietly in a corner like an observer.

Faced with this terrifying array that could instantly crush an ordinary Title Douluo, Nan Feng merely glanced around calmly, paused, and then asked in a tone as casual as if greeting an acquaintance on the street:

"Everyone, is there something you need?"

Seeing Nan Feng's ridiculously calm and utterly unreverent attitude, the God of Evil's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

"Kid, you have a good attitude."

The God of Evil spoke first, his voice carrying a strange, seductive power: "We summoned you here to inform you of something: Bibi Dong has successfully completed the Nine Trials of Asura and has officially inherited the position of the God of Asura."

"And you, because of that special soul contract with her, now have several choices before you."

The evil god extended a finger: "First, you can choose to continue in this state of symbiotic soul coexistence. Now that Bibi Dong has become a god, she will soon find a way to find you and then use the power of the Asura God to forcibly resurrect you."

"However, I must remind you that, given the unique nature of the Asura God's power in terms of killing and destruction, if you are resurrected by her, you will most likely be transformed into an existence similar to the Asura God's subordinate spirit. In other words, for the endless years to come, you will have to remain as an appendage, forever by Bibi Dong's side, under her control."

After hearing this rather tragic prediction of fate, Nan Feng's expression remained unchanged; he simply nodded perfunctorily and said, "Oh."

Seeing Nan Feng's nonchalant reaction, the evil god's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

He took a deep breath and continued to throw out the bait: "Don't rush to say 'oh,' you have a few other better options now."

The God of Evil pointed to himself, then to the God of Good and the God of Destruction beside him:

"I, Kindness, and Destruction—the three of us intend to pass on our divine positions to you! As long as you agree, regardless of whose divine position you ultimately choose to inherit, you can instantly become a god and completely escape the pathetic future of becoming an appendage of Bibi Dong!"

Three great god-kings are vying to offer up their godhood? If this happened on the Douluo Continent, it would drive any peerless Douluo crazy.

However, Nan Feng merely glanced at the expectant God of Evil, then turned to look at the God of Kindness who radiated a soft glow, and finally his gaze swept over the God of Destruction shrouded in a purplish-black robe.

Then, he very decisively uttered a few words:

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

The God of Evil was not particularly surprised by Nan Feng's arrogant refusal.

After all, over the years, these god-kings had been secretly observing Nan Feng's every move in the lower realm through the water mirror in the divine realm.

They knew very well that the ten years of peaceful life, and the despair they felt when they were driven to the brink, had almost completely worn down the sharpness and ambition in this man's heart that came from the struggle for survival.

The current Nanfeng has not only lost his desire for the ethereal thing of becoming a god, but he has also lost even the worldly insistence on being resurrected or surviving.

He has completely let go of worldly struggles on a spiritual level.

However, as a god-king who has lived for countless years, the evil god naturally has a trump card to deal with this kind of "king of slacking off"!

I understand what you're thinking right now.

The evil god said in a low voice, "I know what you're thinking. After all, we've been watching you all these years. You've experienced too much betrayal and scheming. Perhaps you've completely lost your desire and trust in the power of the gods."

"But kid, some things can only be truly solved if you have the strength in your hands and keep moving forward."

The God of Evil stared intently at Nan Feng: "For example... the future survival of the Soul Beast race."

Upon hearing the words "Soul Beast Clan," Nan Feng's usually calm brows finally furrowed slightly.

The God of Evil keenly sensed the change in Nan Feng's emotions, a smile playing on his lips, and continued to press the issue: "You should be well aware of the dire situation the Soul Beast race is currently facing, so I won't go into a long explanation here."

"But think about it carefully. If you choose to lie down and not move forward, and don't master your own rules and power, then you won't be able to do anything in the future!"

"Perhaps you have indeed lost your thirst for power, or even become indifferent to the struggle for survival. But ask yourself honestly, can you truly let go of your attachment to those little girls in the lower realm who are always around you?"

The evil god's tone was highly inflammatory: "Don't you... want to help that Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena who's always clinging to you like a shadow and is burdened with heavy shackles?"

Nan Feng remained silent for a moment, his gaze sharpening as he stared directly at the God of Evil and coldly asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"It's very simple." The God of Evil shrugged. "If you choose to give up and become a powerless accessory to Bibi Dong, then you can only watch helplessly as the Soul Beast race faces its future annihilation."

"But if you choose to accept the divine position of any one of us, even if it's just for them, you will have a voice in the divine realm! You can rightfully help the Silver Dragon King within the rules, and even, if you are powerful enough, you can personally resolve these historical issues between the divine realm and the soul beast race!"

Nan Feng was not blinded by these passionate words. He calmly retorted, "Since you all know this is a problem, why don't you high and mighty god-kings solve it yourselves?"

"Because I'm not interested," the God of Evil shrugged nonchalantly, answering with self-righteousness. "That's not something I want to do."

"I have no relation to the soul beasts of the lower realm, nor do I have any vested interests with them. Whether they live or die, or even whether their race is wiped out, I, the evil god, do not care at all."

The evil god pointed at Nan Feng's heart: "But you are different. Because you care about them."

So stop running away and make your choice.

Before Nan Feng could speak, the God of Destruction, who had been waiting impatiently, suddenly stepped forward, his body crackling with purplish-black divine lightning, and his domineering voice interrupted:

"Kid, don't listen to his nonsense! Pick me!"

The God of Destruction stared at Nan Feng, "If you choose me, this matter will become very simple! I will directly pass on my position as the God of Destruction to you, and in exchange, Life will also pass on her position to the Silver Dragon King!"

"Once you two have the power of destruction and life, both the future survival of the Soul Beast race and the internal resistance within the God Realm will become much easier to resolve!"

Chapter 402 A Shocking Game: When Nan Feng Rejects the Divine Position, He Directly Points to the Golden Dragon King's Origin

……

Faced with the immense temptation of the God of Destruction, which was practically a "buy one get one free" deal, Nan Feng remained expressionless and silent.

Seeing this, the God of Evil hurriedly interjected, trying to salvage the situation: "Hey, hey, hey, Destruction, this is cheating! Although if you really inherit the position of Destruction, those two can be completely liberated and travel the universe, but..."

The God of Evil turned to Nan Feng and earnestly pleaded, "I still have to try again! After all, given your ruthless ways in the lower realms, your compatibility with my position as the God of Evil is definitely the highest in the entire divine realm! In essence, we are actually the same kind of people!"

"Have you no shame?!"

The God of Kindness, who had been maintaining a gentle smile all along, finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the God of Evil's self-praise without any mercy, "How could he be on the same side as you, you old fox full of evil intentions?"

The God of Kindness looked at Nan Feng with sincere and benevolent eyes: "He's clearly on the same side as me, isn't he?"

"Nanfeng, ignore them. Choose me! My power is the most suitable for you! The power of kindness can not only help you resolve the conflict of the exclusion of the soul beast race from the rules, but also help you completely resolve the various potential conflicts on the Douluo Continent in the gentlest way."

The God of Kindness offered his bargaining chip: "Only my power can perfectly resolve the irreconcilable survival conflict between humans and soul beasts on Douluo Star!"

Faced with the three great god-kings' fierce, self-serving sales pitches to promote their divine positions, Nan Feng remained detached, maintaining a prolonged silence.

After a long time, just as the god-kings were getting a little impatient.

Nan Feng finally spoke slowly, "You speak so eloquently... but, your divine succession, it can't be like the Asura God's, which involves some kind of messy, life-or-death trials, right?"

Before the gods could answer, Nanfeng simply waved his hand, interrupting them prematurely:

"I'm sorry, but if that's the case, I don't want to face any tests or challenges right now. I'm lazy and useless right now, I don't want to take on any responsibilities, I just want to find a comfortable place to lie down and wait to die."

Hearing such a refined and elegant way of describing "giving up," the evil god's eye twitched violently. He suppressed the urge to curse and asked, "You... don't you really want to help that little silver dragon king?"

"Of course I want to help her," Nan Feng sighed, his gaze sweeping over the several God-Kings present, his eyes revealing a clear distrust. "But whether I help her or not depends on whether I'm still alive."

"Who knows how many traps you old guys dug for me behind the scenes during those so-called trials of inheritance?"

Nan Feng sneered: "I've already experienced firsthand the underhanded dealings in your God Realm when dealing with Tang Chen and Bibi Dong. So... I really don't trust a single word about you so-called gods."

Upon hearing Nan Feng's concerns, the God of Destruction waved his hand and immediately indicated his willingness to open a back door:

"The trials of inheriting a divine position are, in principle, necessary; otherwise, a mortal soul like yours simply cannot fully bear the weight of the laws governing a divine position. However..."

The God of Destruction confidently promised, "To dispel your concerns, I can simplify this tedious trial process to an infinite degree! I absolutely do not want those messy, torturous tests of character. As long as you can successfully master my destructive power in the end, you will pass the test!"

"Me too!" The God of Evil, afraid of falling behind, hurriedly declared, "I can also simplify the test infinitely! I absolutely refuse all those messy, deadly things!"

"Moreover, with your abilities, it won't take you long to master my evil divine power! After all, you previously fused with the essence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and you already have a huge amount of evil energy remaining in your body. You just need to sublimate and control that power according to the laws step by step, and it's not dangerous at all!"

Faced with the God Kings' repeated, even humble, promises of "lowering their bottom line" and "opening back doors," Nan Feng remained standing in the center of the hall, silent, as if deep in thought.

A moment later, he slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the three great god-kings, and looked at the Asura God standing at the back, who had remained silent all along. He calmly dropped a bombshell:

"What if I don't want any of them?"
