Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Although it is widely rumored that the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are gathered in the Sun Moon Empire, for these students who are hostile to the evil spirit masters, becoming Sun Moon citizens is actually beneficial for getting closer to the evil spirit masters and thus completing their revenge.

Meng Hongchen withdrew her gaze from the new students and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Yuhao, let's go. I'll take you to find Grandpa and ask him to apply to His Majesty for funds from the national treasury to build another campus to accommodate the new students. I think His Majesty will agree to such a good thing that benefits the country and its people."

"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded.

........

The realm of gods is shrouded in mist and clouds.

Poseidon Temple.

Tang San, dressed in the armor of the Sea God, sat on a tall divine throne, his face filled with melancholy. The reason was simple: he had not yet been able to reconcile with Xiao Wu.

He couldn't understand how Xiao Wu, who loved him back then and was even willing to sacrifice herself for him, had become such a stranger.

Although he had taken a series of measures to divide Xiao Qi's soul, it was essentially for Xiao Qi's own good.

After all, only children who have experienced hardship and trials can grow up strong and have a bright future.

Moreover, no one else has ever received such a treatment as having their soul divided!

It's one thing if others don't understand my good intentions.

I've been married to Xiaowu for so many years, and she still doesn't understand my good intentions?

He had sacrificed so much for this family, yet Xiaowu was dissatisfied with him because of this, and even refused to go home.

Thinking of this, he felt resentment towards Xiao Wu, feeling that she was not mature enough.

Because of the various attacks against him, he has encountered setbacks everywhere and is now very angry. In the past, Xiao Wu would have come to please him long ago.

"Alright, let's put Xiao Wu's matter aside for now and deal with it later. It's time to harvest the faith power from the lower realms. Let me see how much faith power I can gain today." A twisted smile gradually appeared on his face.

One day in the divine realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm.

In order to quickly elevate his status as the Sea God, Tang San harvests the power of faith from the lower realms every God Realm Day.

Through the Sea God's divine position, he instantly gathered the faith power that the Sea God deserved and poured it into the divine position. Gradually, a seven-ringed blue-gold halo appeared behind his head.

The aura of the sea, centered on Tang San, gradually spread out, reflecting the color of the ocean throughout the entire temple. Faintly, the sound of surging waves could be heard echoing within the temple.

As the power of faith flowed into the Sea God's position, an illusory eight-ringed halo gradually appeared behind his head. This greatly excited Tang San. As long as he could possess a solid eight-ringed halo, it would mean that he had cultivated the Sea God's position to the level of "half-step God King".

It should be noted that a seven-ring halo is the mark of a first-level deity, while an eight-ring halo undoubtedly surpasses that of a first-level deity. However, it has not yet reached the nine-ring halo of a god-king, which is already enough to be called a half-step god-king.

As time passed, the illusory eight-ringed halo behind his head became solid, but problems followed one after another, namely, his faith power was somewhat insufficient.

Chapter 558 Breakthrough Failure, Tang Shenwang's Defenses Broken

At such a critical moment, a lack of faith is undoubtedly an extremely troublesome matter.

The divine realm has a long history, and there have been some exceptionally talented first-level deities who have attempted to break through the boundaries and become half-step god-kings.

But all of these people ultimately failed.

However, Tang San, relying on the Asura Godhood, possesses the cultivation of a God King. Compared to other gods who only possess the first-level Godhood, it is undoubtedly much simpler for him to break through to the Sea Godhood.

Moreover, during the time when he held control of the central authority of the divine realm.

He spent a lot of time secretly cultivating his reputation in Douluo Continent, opening up another channel for obtaining faith power besides sea spirit beasts and the Sea God family.

The power of faith has many uses. It can be used not only to solidify a divine position, but also to elevate the level of a divine position. However, the amount of faith power required to elevate the level of a divine position is undoubtedly enormous.

Tang San's mind was racing.

"Logically speaking, the power of the Sea God's faith that I gain every other God Realm Day should increase day by day. After all, Shrek Academy in Douluo Continent promotes my greatness."

In the ocean, the Sea God's family helps tame sea spirit beasts, gaining their faith in me. However, the faith power collected today is nearing depletion. Could it be that the faith power collected today is actually less than before?

Tang San felt increasingly strange as he thought about it. As time passed, because the power of faith poured into the Sea God's position was decreasing, the solidification speed of the eighth ring of light wheel, which was gradually becoming solid, slowed down considerably.

He was a little unwilling.

To be honest, when he absorbed that power of faith in the past, his eighth ring of light was only in an illusory state.

Once he stops absorbing the power of faith, the illusory eighth ring of light will vanish in an instant.

Now that the eighth ring of the light wheel has begun to solidify, it means that he has a chance to stabilize the solidified state of the eighth ring of the light wheel today and truly cultivate the Sea God's position to the level of a half-step God King.

This is very important for improving his strength.

He knew he had to make some changes, otherwise his plan to solidify the position of the Sea God would fail.

If I fail, I will inevitably be injured, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to break through the shackles of becoming a first-level god while holding the position of the Sea God.

With that in mind, he decided to take a gamble.

So he began to communicate directly with the Asura God within his body, and a murderous aura gradually emanated from his body. Of course, he did this not to switch god positions, but to use the Asura God as a channel to absorb the faith power belonging to the Asura God and transfer it to the Sea God's god position, thereby helping the Sea God's god position to break through.

Although doing so would deplete some of his faith power, he couldn't care less about that now that they were at a critical juncture.

If the Sea God's position can break through to the level of a half-step God King, it will be an achievement that no human deity in the God Realm has ever accomplished before, laying an incredibly solid foundation for cultivating the Sea God's position to the level of a God King.

As long as he possesses two God-King positions and appeases Xiao Wu, with two gods coexisting, even the God of Destruction who has always targeted him would not be his match.

The Asura God wields the power of slaughter, placing him somewhere between the gods of darkness and the gods of light.

Generally speaking, whenever there is killing on a planet under the jurisdiction of the God Realm, the Asura God can obtain the thought of killing and transform it into pure faith power, which is also an important source of the Asura God's faith power.

After all, there aren't many lives that simply worship the Asura God.

If a large-scale war breaks out, the Asura God will have even more killing intent.

This is also one of the deeper reasons why he did not prevent the collision between Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent back then.

Even Xiao Wu was unaware of this reason, believing that she was simply complying with the rules of the divine realm and therefore refraining from interfering.

To be honest, interfering with the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent does indeed violate the rules of the God Realm.

However, if the collision between the two continents results in greater losses for him than benefits, he will stop it even if it means violating the rules of the divine realm.

As he had predicted, a large-scale war broke out after the two continents clashed, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Moreover, the war left a lasting trauma on people's hearts, and even after the war ended, many vendettas broke out.

He also gained a lot of bloodlust and converted a lot of pure faith power from it, which was really a huge profit. Although he did not want to see the Tang Sect gradually decline, there are gains and losses.

After that large-scale war, Shrek Academy did not join forces with the three great empires to divide up the "evil" Sun Moon Empire, nor did it even ask for war reparations. This was naturally the result of his dream to the former Sea God Pavilion Master. Of course, he also gave some reasons when he appeared in the dream.

He did this mainly to lay mines, thereby creating a favorable opportunity for another large-scale war to break out on the Douluo Continent.

Once a large-scale war breaks out again, he will be able to generate a great deal of bloodlust from it.

Before the war broke out, some Douluo people, through the ten thousand years of propaganda by Shrek Academy, naturally developed a sense of reverence and even faith in themselves as the Sea God and Asura God, thus providing them with the power of faith.

According to his plan, when the next large-scale war breaks out, if the situation of the Douluo Three Kingdoms becomes critical and he is needed to turn the tide, he will step in to stop the Sun Moon Empire, plant another mine, prevent the other side from unifying the Douluo Continent, and ensure that there will be another opportunity for a large-scale war to sweep across the continent in the future.

To be honest, in this way, the Douluo people are quite similar to a type of vegetable from the Sichuan region in his previous life—leeks.

After one crop is harvested, another will grow, thus continuously providing him with the power of faith.

Gradually, as the power of faith from the Asura God's position flowed into the Sea God's position, the eighth ring of light behind his head gradually stabilized and became more solid, and the aura emanating from his body gradually became more and more powerful.

"You're almost there, you little devil! Your doomsday is coming!" Tang San exclaimed excitedly.

He had always wanted to cultivate the Sea God's position to the God King level, so that he could have two God King positions. However, the prerequisite for doing so was to advance the Sea God's position to the half-step God King level.

Suddenly, he felt the power of faith coming from the Asura God's position rapidly depleting, and the seemingly solid eighth ring of light behind his head was now teetering on the verge of collapse, gradually becoming illusory.

Tang San's expression changed drastically: "Even the faith power from the Asura God's position isn't enough? That's impossible. What exactly happened in the lower realm that affected the total amount of faith power I've collected? Oh no, I'm going to fail my breakthrough."

The next moment, the eighth ring of light behind his head shattered and dissipated. His face turned pale, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and even the seventh ring of light behind his head dimmed.

There has never been a precedent in the divine realm for a deity to successfully advance to the next level of divine rank. This involves the very essence of divine rank, making the breakthrough extremely perilous.

If Tang San fails to break through, he will not die, but he will be injured and suffer huge losses.

After all, the failure to break through meant that all the faith power he had invested in truly condensing the eighth ring of light had gone down the drain.

He lost more than just the faith power he had just used. He had invested a lot of faith power in the past to accumulate progress. With this failed breakthrough, it was as if the progress bar, which had reached 99%, had been completely reset to zero.

At this moment, the god of the sea of ​​light was consumed by an uncontrollable rage.

His face contorted into a grotesque expression, like that of a demon. With each breath, his chest heaved, and his entire body trembled slightly with rage.

Chapter 559 Damn Xuanzi and Zhongli Wu!

He clenched his fists, and a cracking sound rang out.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost; all the progress he had made was wiped out, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

This was the result of his years of hard work (and harvest), and he was about to succeed, but he failed at the last moment. The efforts of tens of thousands of divine days were in vain, which naturally made him extremely upset.

“There must be something wrong with my Douluo Continent. Otherwise, according to common sense, the faith power I gained today would definitely be enough for me to raise the Sea God's position to the half-step God King level. Even I can't keep an eye on everything that happens on Douluo Continent all the time.”

"Now that I have lost the central hub of the God Realm and have been suppressed by destruction, my control over the Douluo Continent is not as strong as before. However, no matter what, I must know the reason for the reduction of the power of faith."

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and gently waved his hand in front of him. Ripples spread across the water, and the sound of crashing waves filled the air. A mirror, entirely constructed from the power of the sea god, appeared before his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the boundless sea and countless sea spirit beasts appeared in the mirror.

As the sea god, his important source of faith power naturally comes from the sea spirit beasts. If there are problems with the sea spirit beasts, it is quite normal for the faith power he harvests to decrease.

He began to investigate the sea spirit beasts' level of faith in him. After a moment, he frowned slightly: "The sea spirit beasts are doing well, so the problem lies with those humans from Douluo Continent."

"The Douluo people's faith in me has decreased, so I received less faith power, which is why I failed at the last moment?"

Tang San found it hard to believe. He had once saved the Douluo people from the terrifying shadow of the Spirit Empire and protected the Douluo Continent from falling into the clutches of the Spirit Empire. He had done a great favor to those Douluo people from ten thousand years ago.

The favor they had shown was so great that even after ten thousand years in the Douluo Continent, the Douluo people and their descendants had not been able to repay it.

Moreover, in his view, it was an honor for some Douluo people to have faith in him and provide him with the power of faith to help him grow stronger.

Now, only one God Realm Day has passed, and some Douluo people have already forgotten their kindness and are unwilling to continue to believe in them? There must be something fishy about this.

He was furious and prepared to investigate thoroughly the matter of some Douluo people losing their faith in the Great Sea God.

A moment later, Tang San finished his investigation, his face as gloomy as a dark cloud.

He roughly figured out why the amount of faith power he had harvested today was less than before: the negative impact of the deaths of a large number of Shrek students' families, which caused Shrek Academy's reputation to plummet, and his own reputation was also negatively affected.

Those Douluo people who had faith in themselves, but whose faith was not firm or fanatical enough, simply gave up their faith in themselves.

After all, he was one of the original Shrek Seven Devils.

Through Shrek Academy's millennia-long promotion, one's reputation is highly intertwined with Shrek Academy's; at times, it can be said that their fortunes are intertwined, and their losses are intertwined.
