The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A figure was speeding through at extreme velocity. Each time it landed, its speed increased a bit, like a nimble cat in the bushes.
The graceful figure had two fluffy cat ears on her head. Her cool, slightly aloof face gave a desirable feeling.
The girl was clearly in a martial soul possession state.
Two yellow, two purple, three black soul rings indicated she had Soul Saint strength.
"The God Realm is not stable either!"
Zhu Zhuqing exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. She was fleeing at full speed from the Star Dou Great Forest.
She paid attention to the changing environment around her, ensuring safety, but her mind was somewhat melancholic.
"If Tang San knew that I deliberately let Xiao Wu leave."
"He would probably think: 'You already walk the path of death!'"
"But I clearly told her that going that way was very dangerous, she might die!"
"But she still went. It seems..."
"The will of some god in the God Realm? Or something else?" Zhu Zhuqing did not think too much. Perhaps it was related to a god.
Moreover, that god was probably not the Rakshasa God who gave her the Rakshasa God examination.
Back then, the Rakshasa God had clearly said.
After throwing the god position to her, she ran away and would not return to the God Realm.
That meant the god contacting her was not Rakshasa, but could transmit messages to her through the Rakshasa God's mark.
Or it was related to Rakshasa, or the one who instigated Xiao Wu to go seek death voluntarily.
"Sigh..." Zhu Zhuqing sighed.
First return to the Star Luo Empire. Since Xiao Wu sought death voluntarily, she definitely would not say that she sent her there.
Zhu Zhuqing grabbed distant tree branches with both hands to borrow force and jump, spinning a few times before leaping again.
In the blink of an eye, she landed hundreds of meters away.
Not long after Zhu Zhuqing left from this position, in the open area beside it.
A figure in gothic loli attire slowly revealed itself—a black-haired girl.
"Did the rabbit go to deliver herself related to the God Realm?"
She did not fully hear Zhu Zhuqing's words, but roughly guessed the content.
"Aiya, this kind of brain-cell-killing matter! Better leave it to the main body and master to consider!"
Tokisaki Kurumi played with the bangs on her forehead, then turned into black smoke and disappeared.
...
Tokisaki Kurumi's body suddenly trembled, startling Ning Rongrong, who was watching the battle beside her.
"Intelligence?"
"Yes, gods have intervened." Tokisaki Kurumi gazed at the various sides still fiercely battling, nodding cautiously. "The Soft Bone Rabbit deliberately went to deliver herself, and it was a sacrifice..."
"The reason?" Ning Rongrong's brows furrowed tightly.
"Unclear, but probably not the Rakshasa God. The reason, master, you know too."
"Sea God..." Ning Rongrong fell into thought. "Or perhaps the Asura God?"
Ning Rongrong knew about the Rakshasa God's situation.
Through the memory of killing the god Hypnos back then, she learned that the Rakshasa God had always wanted to leave the God Realm—probably she did!
The one who could instigate Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself for Tang San was probably only the Sea God or Asura God.
Whether the Asura God could contact Xiao Wu from afar while sealing the Golden Dragon King was another matter.
Sea God...
To be honest, was this Sea God going too far? He could even contact the Rakshasa's inheritor—logically, this was impossible.
Did this thing have a special fondness for peeping on female god examination inheritors!?
Eeeh, scary and clap-worthy!
"No matter what, it's trouble." Ning Rongrong sighed softly.
"Rongrong, what are you talking about?" Protected by the barrier, there was no worry about voices being heard outside. Bone Douluo was also curious about what Ning Rongrong and Tokisaki Kurumi were discussing, though he could not interject before.
"Xiao Wu was deliberately killed by the Demon Empress of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, with the purpose of sacrificing herself to boost Tang San's strength. We speculate it's the Sea God meddling."
"The reason?"
Bone Douluo's brows furrowed. Wasn't the God Realm not allowed to intervene casually?
"I don't know either, or perhaps related to Xiao Wu's identity."
"The scabbard of the Asura God, possibly to simultaneously open the Asura and Sea God examinations."
The Asura God examination—Tang San should have failed it back then.
"We followed all the way and did not feel that the Soft Bone Rabbit showed signs of being controlled." Bone Douluo was puzzled.
"Voluntary, who knows!" "Probably the pressure from Qian Renxue was too great on them." Ning Rongrong said.
Qian Renxue was already level 89, a god examination inheritor, and had enmity with Tang San and the others—how could Tang San and Xiao Wu not be anxious?
As for death, sacrifice, and such.
As long as Tang San became a god, revival was possible, so with the Soft Bone Rabbit's personality, sacrificing herself was not impossible.
Soul beast love-brains were normal; in the original work, even the Silver Dragon King was like that.
A lineage of love-brain continent.
"Then what next?" Bone Douluo asked with furrowed brows.
"Watch first, then consider." Having just signed the agreement with Sea God Island, Ning Rongrong really did not want to violate it now. As for gods, honestly, as long as it was not a god descending from the God Realm, she did not care much.
The Star Dou Great Forest's move with the Demon Empress cleared the relationship between the Star Dou Great Forest and Spirit Hall, turning the battle hatred into revenge.
The Sea God then made another move, probably wanting the three fools of the Star Dou Great Forest to sacrifice for Tang San.
These gods and such, so eager to throw away their god positions?
The battle would eventually have a victor.
The Demon Empress killing Xiao Wu led to the Demon Empress "forced" to join Spirit Hall's side.
Thus, on Tang San's side, after a few opening moves, they quickly fell into a disadvantage.
"Sigh, Star Dou Great Forest moves the Demon Empress, Sea God or Asura God moves Xiao Wu."
"Are you fighting a proxy war?" Ning Rongrong could not help but complain.
"Take this! Roar~"
A roar came from the high air.
The Fourth Elder, Mad Lion Douluo, seized the opening with the assistance of two elders.
In martial soul true body state, he unleashed his strongest strike.
The River East Lion's Roar stunned the Titan Giant Ape, making its head fuzzy.
Taking advantage of this moment, Mad Lion Douluo heavily rammed toward the Titan Giant Ape's monkey waist position.
The massive impact force made the ground surface fiercely tremble. The over ten-meter-tall Titan Giant Ape was rammed so hard it flipped onto its back.
Already heavily injured, under Mad Lion Douluo's strongest attack, it let out wails of pain.
Its pupils also gradually turned white.
Clearly, it could not hold on much longer.
"Sky Azure Annihilation Thunder"
Dense lightning descended from the sky, slightly blocking the offensive from Spirit Hall's side.
"Tang San, you are a twin martial soul bearer."
"Since Xiao Wu believes in you, we will believe too!"
Knowing there was little hope of turning the tables on their side, and that Titan Giant Ape Er Ming was about to fail.
The Sky Azure Bull Python used its own body to clear a path for Tang San. Tang San quickly arrived beside the Titan Giant Ape.
The Titan Giant Ape's remaining consciousness sensed the familiarity from Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul's eighth soul ring, Xiao Wu's soul ring.
"Er Ming, it's me, Tang San. Da Ming asked me to come."
Looking at the weakened Titan Giant Ape, Tang San could not say the words on the tip of his tongue.
"Tang San, live on, and find a way to revive Sister Xiao Wu." The Titan Giant Ape understood Da Ming's idea and let out a roar like a wail.
"Sacrifice!"
Mad Lion Douluo wanted to attack Tang San, but was blocked by the rules of the Titan Giant Ape's sacrifice.
"Damn it!"
"This monkey is sacrificing itself." Mad Lion Douluo's face turned purple with anger. Previously, he could not stop that little rabbit's sacrifice, fine.
The little rabbit seemed to "die and revive," but this monkey sacrificing under his nose was intolerable.
"Useless; the rules of sacrifice cannot be interrupted."
"Tang San, if possible, help me kill this guy." The Titan Giant Ape's voice transmitted into Tang San's mind.
"Alright."
Tang San nodded seriously.
Mad Lion Douluo, you already walk the path of death.
