Chapter 265: Asura God
Facing the Sea God's inquiry, Yang Xiong knew he had no way out. Since the Sea God could bring him here, he must know everything about him.
"Sea God, my lifelong pursuit is to become a Hundred-Level God. I have repeatedly broken through my limits to become the strongest person in the world, to become the strongest god in the world."
"The entire Douluo Continent only has the Sea God with a legacy. That's why I went through countless hardships to come to Sea God Island, and countless hardships to complete your assessment, hoping to make myself stronger."
The Sea God's expression changed: "Do you know the consequences of lying to a god? You clearly possess a trace of the Asura God's Divine Power, so why did you come to my Sea God Island?"
Yang Xiong quickly replied: "Sea God, I don't understand what you mean. Although I have been to Slaughter City, I have not obtained the Asura God's legacy, nor has the Asura God bestowed a God Test upon me."
"Since no one has given me a legacy, what is wrong with me coming to Sea God Island? Can't I, with my effort, my strength, and my talent, inherit the Sea God's divine position?"
The Sea God said: "Besides pursuing becoming a Hundred-Level God, do you have no other pursuits? No other beliefs?"
"The sea respects me, and the land considers the Angel God as orthodox. The strength of gods far surpasses mortals. Even your Limit Douluo are like ants in the eyes of gods. When you pursue becoming a Hundred-Level True God, won't you pursue higher power?"
Hearing the Sea God's words, a smile appeared on Yang Xiong's lips: "Sea God, are you happy in the God Realm? Are you happy after becoming a god?"
The Sea God's expression slightly changed upon hearing Yang Xiong's words. If not for these ten thousand years being too long and too boring, why would he want to pass down his divine position?
"Yang Xiong, in your eyes, is there only happiness and pain? Is there no responsibility?"
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking: "What is responsibility? My family loves me, my Sect protects my growth, and I repay the Sect. This is responsibility in my eyes."
"I have no ambition to rule the world, nor do I think about ruling the entire world forever. I prefer to live freely, unrestrained by anyone, unoppressed by anyone."
"I have already fought against Qian Renxue, the inheritor of the Angel God. I believe my talent, perseverance, determination, and courage are not inferior to hers. But just because she is a descendant of the Angel God, just because she is the inheritor of the Angel God, must I be content to be ruled by the Angel God for generations?"
"Sea God, although you are far away in the God Realm, you should have some understanding of the situation on the continent. The Angel God's inheritor should be undergoing the legacy. Within a few years, the Angel God will reappear on the Douluo Continent. And I want to compete with her, to prove that my hard training can make me stronger, even stronger than a god."
"This is why I came to Sea God Island. I hope to become stronger, hoping to break the shackles of fate with my own strength."
"Furthermore, Spirit Hall is ambitious. They don't just want to rule the entire Douluo Continent, but also influence and rule the entire ocean. With Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's ambitions, they will sooner or later attack Sea God Island. No matter how strong Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi is, it's impossible to deal with a Hundred-Level expert."
The Sea God's face turned cold upon hearing this: "The Angel God's inheritor is indeed undergoing the legacy. Is this your purpose for coming to Sea God Island?"
At this moment, even the Sea God was a little confused. Looking at Yang Xiong, he didn't seem to be lying. Coming to Sea God Island was indeed for the pursuit of the Sea God's legacy, but he always felt something was not quite right.
The Sea God initially did want to bestow the Sea God Nine Trials upon Yang Xiong. With Yang Xiong's aptitude and strength, reaching Hundred-Level God was not that difficult, and he might even become incredibly powerful in the future.
But Yang Xiong already had a trace of the Asura God's Divine Power, and even his Martial Soul had begun to evolve towards the Asura God. The Top-Tier Nine Trials bestowed earlier could not be passed down, and he couldn't even develop towards the Sea God direction by absorbing Soul Rings.
Yang Xiong's eyes were incredibly resolute: "Becoming a god is my lifelong goal. No matter how difficult the road ahead, I must become a god. I must become the strongest in the world."
The Sea God was startled by Yang Xiong's words, but after thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Then what do you think of the Asura God? I think the Asura God should be willing to bestow a legacy upon you."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "I don't know what the Asura God is like. I have been to Slaughter City, and my Martial Soul has even evolved towards the Asura direction, but I have never felt the will of the Asura God's legacy from beginning to end."
The Sea God said: "Yang Xiong, do you know what an Asura is?"
Yang Xiong's expression was serious: "I have passed through the Hell Road of Slaughter City and been to the Blood River of Slaughter City. In my eyes, the Asura God proves the Dao through slaughter, and is the most just and orderly person in the world."
"There are countless living beings in the world. Humans and Soul Beasts attack each other, and even among humans, there are various selfish motives. Different people have different ambitions. Only ultimate slaughter, only ultimate strength can truly create order, and the endpoint of an Asura should be order."
Before the Sea God could say anything more, a blood-red light flashed in the sky, and a blood-red figure appeared in the Sea God Hall.
This person's eyes were completely devoid of any life force. Whether looking at Yang Xiong or the Sea God, their thoughts seemed to have no fluctuations.
Especially, this person emitted an endless Slaughter Qi, which seemed to be of the same origin as Yang Xiong's Slaughter Domain, yet countless times stronger than the Slaughter Domain.
Yang Xiong was also startled, knowing that the figure was likely the Asura God. He hadn't expected the Asura God to actually come to this Sea God Hall.
Yang Xiong quickly bowed, "Greetings, Lord Asura God."
The Asura God glanced at Yang Xiong, and the entire Sea God Hall instantly changed. The originally vast and boundless Vast Sea Power was replaced by a blood-red color throughout the palace, filled with endless Slaughter Qi. Even with Yang Xiong's strength, he felt a chill run through his body.
The Asura God spoke without any emotion, "Yang Xiong, you are quite clever, knowing to come to Sea God Island. Do you know that for an inheritor of the Asura God to train on Sea God Island is a disgrace to me, the Asura God?"
Yang Xiong said, "Lord Asura God, I have not received any information from you, nor did I know that I was the inheritor of the Asura God. Please forgive me, my lord."
The Asura God said, "Do you know that the Asura God is one of the strongest Gods in the God Realm, and also an enforcer of the God Realm? No accidents are allowed; everything must adhere to rules and order. Even I am no exception."
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, "My lord, what are rules, what is order? Can rules not be changed if they are problematic? Is it because of so-called order that countless people on the Douluo Continent must die and be injured? Is it because one only needs to abandon their family and friends?"
The Asura God looked at Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong, who had been trying to hold on, suddenly felt his entire body completely suppressed, as if even his soul was about to be crushed.
"Presumptuous, Yang Xiong. In your eyes, which is more important: becoming a God or your family and friends?"
"You must know that Gods can exist for tens of thousands of years, while your family and friends cannot become Gods. At that time, you will have to watch them fall one by one, decay one by one, and eventually become a lonely person."
A trace of unwillingness appeared in Yang Xiong's eyes, "No matter how weak my family and friends are, in my eyes, they are far superior to tens of thousands of people in the world. I will never make such a choice. I will only carve out a bloody path for myself."
A rare expression appeared on the Asura God's face, "Oh, Yang Xiong, then I would like to ask you, how do you view the actions of Spirit Hall, which is slaughtering the major Sects and is about to unify the world?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth, "I never thought Spirit Hall did anything wrong. It is right for them to unify the world. Perhaps this is better for the people of the world and for all Soul Masters."
"However, if Spirit Hall wants to slaughter my family and friends, I will absolutely not allow it. There is only one truth in this world, and that is that the strong are respected."
"Since I am named Yang Xiong and have a different stance from Spirit Hall, I must contend with Spirit Hall. I must prove myself to the world and create a world that I envision, a world centered on order."
The Asura God was silent for a moment before speaking, "Yang Xiong, I, the Asura God, am one of the three great enforcers of the God Realm. Are you willing to inherit my divine position?"
Yang Xiong was overjoyed, "Thank you, Lord Asura God. I will definitely be able to inherit your divine position, definitely make the Asura God's name resound throughout heaven and earth, and definitely make the Asura God the strongest God in the world."
The Asura God snorted coldly, "Do you know that as the God of Slaughter, the difficulty of inheriting my position is far greater than the Sea God's Assessment? If you want to inherit my divine position, you must have the determination to die, and you may even fall at any time."
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, "Lord Asura God, I am not afraid of death, only afraid of dying in vain. In my eyes, life is endless, and battle never stops."
After hearing these words, the Asura God pointed at Yang Xiong from a distance, and a red light seemed to surge into Yang Xiong's body.
Before Yang Xiong could react, the red light instantly disappeared, and even the Asura God himself vanished without a trace. Only the Sea God remained, sitting alone.
A trace of conflict appeared in the Sea God's eyes, and finally he spoke, "Yang Xiong, since you have come to my Sea God Island and accepted my Sea God Island's Red Level Assessment, I hope you will not disappoint me in this final trial. If you cannot complete it, even if you are the inheritor of the Asura God, you will not escape death."
As the Sea God finished speaking, the entire Sea God Hall trembled. Yang Xiong felt a dizzying sensation, and when he came back to his senses, he was already back on Sea God Island.
At the same time, a voice sounded in Yang Xiong's mind.
"Yang Xiong, Top-Tier Eight Trials, Eighth Trial: Find the Sea God's inheritor and assist them in completing the Sea God's inheritance. Time limit: twenty years. Failure of the assessment results in death."
Before Yang Xiong could react, he felt as if his entire mind was about to explode. The Sea God's Heart, which had already merged into the Sea God Trident, separated again and returned to Yang Xiong's hand.
At the same time, the red eight-pointed star on his forehead suddenly disappeared at this moment, turning into a blood-red long sword.
Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er looked at Yang Xiong with extreme worry, "Little Xiongzi, are you okay? A blue light appeared just now, and you completely disappeared. You scared us to death."
Yang Xiong comforted them, "Rong Rong, I'm fine. Perhaps this period of time was my greatest opportunity."
After speaking, Yang Xiong bowed slightly to Bo Saixi, "Senior, the Sea God has given instructions regarding the content of the eighth trial. I'm afraid I need to leave Sea God Island."
Bo Saixi nodded, "I have received the Sea God's decree. You and your group can leave Sea God Island, but you must return as soon as possible, otherwise I fear you will truly die."
