Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 137 Tang San's Letter (Part 2)

"The Douluo Plane?" Upon hearing this, Theon knew it was a sure thing. It wasn't a secret that Tang San had ascended from the Douluo Plane, so that wasn't important.

Importantly, Douluo was only recently included in the monitoring plane, and can only intervene in the name of divine inheritance.

Now Tang San has specifically summoned me to select a successor for the Illusion God, and this person happens to come from the Douluo Continent.

If you say it's a coincidence, Theon would never believe it, but the gap between him and Tang San is just too big, so even if he doesn't believe it, he has to.

Upon realizing this, Theon immediately adopted a respectful posture, "I will apply to the Divine Council later on the grounds of divine succession, and will pass the Phantom God to the person you favor."

"Besides passing on the Phantom God to him, I have another task for you."

Seeing that Theon agreed without asking any questions, Tang San was more and more satisfied with him and silently labeled Theon as a loyal dog in his heart.

"My lord, whatever it is, I will do my best to accomplish it." Theon had anticipated this and quickly adopted a loyal demeanor.

"You just need to crush it using the fluctuations of divine power when you descend to inherit the divine power." Tang San said as he opened his palm, revealing a deep blue rhombus-shaped gem lying inside.

The gem slowly rose and landed in front of Theon. Tang San continued, "Remember, you must perform certain rituals when using it."

Whether it's a test or a blessing, you must first create some divine power fluctuations before crushing it. The same applies in the future, understand?

“I understand, sir,” Theon replied respectfully.

“Very good. Without further ado, go and bestow the inheritance now. I will also send you the information about the candidate.”

Suddenly, Tang Shan's deep blue pupils lit up. The next second, a blue light flashed in Theon's eyes. After receiving the information, he immediately walked outside.

Just as he was about to leave, Tang San's voice rang out again.

“Theon, after you finish this, I will help you with the divine tempering ritual.”

Theon paused as he left, his face lighting up with elation. He immediately turned around, knelt on one knee, and declared in a resounding voice, "I guarantee I will fulfill your orders, my lord, and leave no trace whatsoever!"

"Very good, go ahead." Tang San nodded in satisfaction and smiled gently. Once Xi En had completely disappeared from his senses, the smile on Tang San's face had already vanished.

Tang San's eyes were dark and unfathomable, his gentle expression replaced by a deep coldness. He murmured, "In the end, your strength is still not up to par. Otherwise, I could really help you temper yourself."

Tang San will indeed help Theon perform the Godhood Tempering Ceremony, but Theon will not be the one undergoing the tempering; rather, he will serve as fuel for the tempering process.

The power of a god is not immutable; one can break through the limitations of rank through acquired means.

For example, Tang San's Sea God status, although only a first-level god, has reached a level comparable to a god-king after so many years of nurturing and tempering by Tang San.

However, having equal strength and having the corresponding rank are two different things, just like Tang San's Sea God position.

Although he has cultivated and improved himself for more than 20 years and has reached a level of power close to that of a god-king, he is still no match for god-kings like Destruction, Life, Asura, and Good and Evil.

However, one's rank is not impossible to improve, since the divine realm allows the creation of one's own divine position, and of course, it also allows the advancement of divine positions.

However, there are limitations to advancement, and the God Realm also has its limits. For example, in the current God Realm, it is almost impossible to create a new God King's position.

Tang San certainly wanted to elevate his Sea God status to God King, but he couldn't do so, at least not openly.

He already holds the position of Asura God King, and having two god positions is against the rules. Elevating the Sea God to God King would definitely not be allowed by the God Realm Committee.

Unless he relinquishes his position as the Sea God, which is impossible, he has spent so many years secretly seizing other divine positions in order to use the power of these positions to temper the Sea God's divine nature.

To make him relinquish his position as the Sea God would be tantamount to cutting off his own arm. Therefore, before he gains absolute authority in the divine realm, the tempering of his Sea God status must be carried out in secret.

Divine Council.

Theon emerged with a joyful expression, clutching a golden token covered in strange patterns tightly in his hand, imagining his bright future as a first-level god after being tempered by divine power.

The members of the Divine Realm Council wouldn't pay much attention to a second-level god, especially since Pusilo had made a record with the Divine Realm Council before leaving office.

His transfer of the position of the God of Illusion to Theon is documented, and with such reasonable and compliant evidence, the members of the Divine Council had no doubts.

There's really nothing to doubt. Aside from passing on traditions, it's hard for ordinary people to imagine that a deity would be so ambitious as to want to control a plane as Tang Shenwang.

Theon transformed into a streak of light and swiftly returned to his small territory. After entering his dedicated training room, Theon took out the golden token and casually set up another layer of barrier.

With the divine power infused into the token, Theon also gained the qualification to intervene in the Douluo plane.

Although he was eager to complete the mission and undergo the divine tempering ceremony as soon as possible, he did not forget Tang San's instructions to act under the cover of divine power.

"Let me see the information about this successor to Prosper..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Theon's gray eyes seemed to be filled with light, becoming as bright as gemstones, and a series of unfamiliar scenes flashed through his eyes at an extremely fast speed.

About half a minute later, Theon's pupils returned to normal, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"This little guy has a really good foundation, and he also has a very close connection with the plane of existence. He's definitely a promising talent."

To be honest, Huo Yumiao's situation was completely unexpected by Theon. After all, although Tang San said he was helping the Illusion God find a candidate, Theon knew that this was just a cover-up.

These so-called candidates were nothing more than a way to give Tang San an opportunity to cause trouble in Douluo Continent. He never really had any hope for these so-called candidates.

To be honest, although the divine realm officially stipulates that gods cannot interfere with the mortal realm, they can act at will in the name of divine inheritance.

Even if someone is a complete waste, if they want, it would be an easy thing for them to make them qualified to become a god.

Theon had originally planned to give this candidate a small boost to enhance his talents and increase his strength, but now that he sees it, these small boosts are really a bit unnecessary.

"Pussyro, brother, I can keep our promise again!" Theon was somewhat pleased. For him, who had already prepared for the worst, the current situation was undoubtedly a ray of hope after all the darkness.

While Xi En was happy, he didn't stop working. He put the matter of inheritance aside for now and focused on generating some divine power to complete the task Tang San had given him.

Instead of directly using his divine power to descend upon the Douluo and speak with the candidates, Theon deliberately set up as many magic arrays as possible.

Compared to the former, this would bring greater fluctuations in divine power and enhance the concealment effect. Under the temptation of the divine tempering ceremony, Theon took Tang San's instructions very seriously.

Theon slowly stopped his hands from outlining the magic circle. With a thought, the several magic circles floating in the air simultaneously emitted a dazzling light.

Several beams of light shot out from the center of the magic array and landed on the surface of the monitoring token. A water curtain, like a mirror, appeared below the token. The image on the water curtain kept changing and finally landed on a boy.

Just then, the mark between Theon's eyebrows glowed, and he chanted an obscure incantation. After completing this series of actions, Theon took out the deep blue rhombus-shaped gem given to him by Tang San and crushed it without hesitation.

The crushed gemstone did not crumble into pieces and fall to the ground; instead, numerous tiny, azure-blue specks of light appeared out of thin air.

These points of light quickly converged and eventually transformed into an energy body resembling a trident. The trident slowly sank into the water curtain, and after passing through the water curtain and arriving at Douluo Continent, it disappeared into the distance.

Heavenly Soul Empire, Haotian Peak.

In a stone chamber on the third floor of Haotian Fort, two middle-aged men were sitting and drinking. Various side dishes were laid out on the stone table in front of them, their luxuriousness contrasting sharply with the simplicity of the stone chamber.

The middle-aged man on the left has long, cyan hair draped over his broad shoulders, and his eyes are also cyan. When he opens and closes his eyes, there are faint flashes of cyan light, as if there is energy flowing within them.

On the right is a tall and muscular middle-aged man with short, fine hair like steel needles and a rugged appearance, but his brown eyes have an indescribable special quality, extremely deep and reserved.

Even draped in a grey robe, his strong, granite-like muscles could not be concealed.

The two men were Niu Tian and Titan, Wang Dong's eldest and second eldest uncles, and they were chatting idly.

"Brother, didn't Xiaodong send a message saying he was going back to Haotian Fort? Judging by the time, he should be arriving soon."

Upon hearing Titan's words, Niu Tian's smile faded, as if he had recalled something unpleasant, and he said coldly:

"It's almost time. When Xiaodong comes back, I'll check her body first. If I find any damage to her foundation or any aftereffects, I'll go to Shrek Academy myself."

"Shrek Academy is really going downhill! They actually dared to let Xiaodong eat the Bloodthirsty Pill, I really want to go and kill those guys!"

Upon hearing this, Titan couldn't help but recall the contents of the letter Wang Dong'er had sent back to Haotian Fort not long ago, and his tone was full of anger.

“Don’t be so reckless. Shrek Academy cannot be destroyed. Have you forgotten about it?” Minotaur shook his head and said meaningfully.

Titan snorted coldly, "I'm not stupid. Of course I know Shrek Academy can't be touched, but if it's just killing a few people, it won't affect anything, and Tang San won't say anything about us."

Titan paused after speaking, his tone filled with obvious killing intent, "No matter what, I'm going to Shrek Academy. I won't touch anyone else, but that guy who dared to let Xiaodong eat the Bloodthirsty Pill must die."

Hearing Titan's words, Niu Tian did not stop him. Knowing that someone actually dared to make Wang Dong'er take the Bloodthirsty Pill, he had already sentenced that person to death.

"Remember not to go too far. After all, we can't interfere too much in the affairs of Douluo Continent."

"You can rest assured about my work," Titan grinned, patting his chest confidently.

"Given your personality, how could I possibly trust you?" A hint of helplessness flashed in Niu Tian's eyes, but then his tone changed and his expression became serious.

"This is no joke. The situation on Douluo Continent is becoming increasingly unstable. Shrek Academy will be a crucial part of the future, and its strength cannot be allowed to suffer too much damage."

"I know, I know, you say it every day, I'm sick of hearing it."

Upon hearing this, Titan said nonchalantly, and was about to continue drinking when he caught a glimpse of Niu Tian's increasingly strange expression out of the corner of his eye. He immediately raised his hand as if to swear an oath.

"Don't worry, big brother. I definitely won't cause any trouble this time at Shrek Academy. Once I've dealt with that guy, I'll head straight back to Haotian Fortress, okay?"

Seeing this, Niu Tian nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation and was startled. The Titan on the other side also felt it and stopped what he was doing.

The next second, a small trident tore through space and appeared in the room. Seeing the familiar trident, Titan was a little surprised. "Why are you using a relay system this time? Didn't we always communicate directly before?"

"I don't know, let's see what it says first." Niu Tian shook his head as he stood up, with Titan following closely behind, standing in front of the trident.

The two first formed the same hand seal, then shot out a stream of soul power. The trident, after being activated by the soul power, immediately transformed into two starlight points, which flowed into Niu Tian and Titan's minds respectively.

Sensing the sudden voice and information in their minds, the two instinctively closed their eyes, and quickly digested the content transmitted by the trident.

When the two opened their eyes, their eyes were filled with the same emotions: confusion and bewilderment. After exchanging a glance, Titan spoke first, his tone tinged with resentment.

"What are you trying to do? We finally got Xiaodong back, and now you want her to run off to the Sun Moon Empire? That place isn't safe."

Niu Tian stood there, his eyebrows furrowed, pondering the causes and consequences of Tang San's actions.

The trident contained little information, but its main message was to send Wang Dong'er to the Sun Moon Empire, specifically to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in Mingdu.

Niu Tian and Titan left the God Realm after only a short time because they missed Douluo Continent. They can be said to be witnesses to the changes in Douluo Continent.

Niu Tian has always been well aware of the current situation in Douluo Continent and also has his own insights into the Sun Moon Empire.

With his strength, if he wanted to hide, no one could find him, even though he appeared to be just a Limit Douluo due to the suppression of the rules.

But with Niu Tian's true strength, he could easily defeat any Limit Douluo in the Douluo Continent.

It was precisely because of this terrifying strength that Niu Tian had always been uninterested in soul tools, considering them all to be illusory, and consequently, he also had a rather negative impression of the Sun Moon Empire.

So, why?
