While shocked and furious, the Shura God was also frantically contemplating how to break Su Ming's resurrection method.
He had considered this before, giving up after multiple attempts and probes.
This time, he was determined to find a way to shatter Su Ming's resurrection ability.
If Su Ming really could resurrect again and again, his only option would be to block Su Ming, preventing him from breaking through to godhood.
But what use was that?
Suddenly, the Shura God froze.
"Wait a moment. If Su Ming's mission is to snipe me, he only needs to kill Tang San. He doesn't need to do anything else, nor does he need to cultivate so diligently, right?"
Could it be...
"Could it be that to alter history, one not only needs to make changes within history but also possess the means to turn the false history into reality?"
The Shura God breathed a sigh of relief.
"Looking at it this way, the difficulty of altering history is still quite high."
He also recalled issues like contradictions between the altered history and the real history.
"The difficulty of altering history must be extremely high, absolutely not as simple as killing a person from the past."
"Intervening in history relies on the power of the future Su Ming. Changing history depends on the methods of the current Su Ming. But to turn false history into true history might require the current Su Ming to grow up. Supreme Divine King might be too high a bar, but at least he must become a Divine King; otherwise, he cannot involve himself with time."
Thinking this, the Shura God finally relaxed.
So, stalling Su Ming's cultivation, preventing him from becoming a god, was truly viable.
However—
The Shura God's gaze turned gloomy.
Regardless of whether his future self truly transcended, everything his current self experienced was real. If Tang San died, wouldn't he be unable to break through?
Would this history that emerged because of Su Ming shatter directly if he gave up, or would it permanently exist, just not affecting that transcended, supreme self?
The Shura God's mood, which had just relaxed due to his previous thoughts, turned gloomy again.
Among countless futures, one version of him transcended.
But that wasn't the Shura God's pursuit.
What he sought was his own transcendence.
"Bastard!"
Upon realizing this, the Shura God cursed his future self.
His future self provoked a powerful enemy yet provided absolutely no support. Could it be he harbored such thoughts?
He didn't need to help his current self because his current self would never let Su Ming succeed in altering history.
But in that case, his current self would be extremely passive. The history where Tang San was killed wouldn't affect his future self but would successfully affect his current self!
Thinking back, every Supreme Divine King who broke through was exceptionally talented. How could the breakthrough process be easily obstructed?
Therefore, a Supreme Divine King wouldn't be so easily killed. But the Shura God wasn't that selfless either.
Even his future self, in his view, wasn't truly himself.
His expression turned ugly.
So, everything circled back: he must save Tang San, not merely obstruct Su Ming from becoming a Divine King.
It was all because the Dragon God died too easily, causing him to underestimate the methods of a Supreme Divine King.
Wait!
The Shura God's expression froze on his face.
Dragon God?
"Did the Dragon God really die?"
Unease rose in his heart again; he finally realized his understanding of transcendence was too shallow.
"Damn it!"
He cursed a few times, then quickly began contemplating how to protect Tang San.
"Since things have come to this, Tang San must be relocated. My arrangements are basically complete anyway. At worst, I can have Tang San reincarnate again, to another world. The Vast Expanse Continent has plenty of opportunities, and its cultivation system is rather straightforward."
The Shura God's eyes flickered.
He looked towards the lower realm, preparing to find an opportunity to forcibly reincarnate Tang San.
However, although his thoughts were rapid, this was the God Realm. Converted to Douluo Planet's time, three hours had already passed.
Douluo Continent. Slaughter City.
Su Ming barged into Slaughter City.
His entire body was filled with dense Qi and Blood Power. Every gesture released a torrent of blood energy, sweeping away all fallen ones at the entrance.
Having plundered numerous divine trials, Su Ming's Spirit Rings in Douluo 1 had long all been elevated to at least two hundred thousand years.
The foundation of these rings all provided hidden enhancements to his Martial Spirit.
Su Ming's Martial Spirit was his own body, so his Qi and Blood cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
Entering Slaughter City, his gaze swept around, seeing a slowly rotating vortex in the air above the central area of this sinful place.
Abyssal energy continuously spilled from this vortex, suppressed by the Killing God Domain, transforming into wisps of dark red power.
"First, deal with Tang San."
Su Ming's goal this time was to firmly ensnare the Abyss for Abyssal Heaven Refinement. But since the plan had progressed this far, killing Tang San was naturally the top priority.
The reason he hadn't killed Tang San before was the lack of an opportunity to enter Slaughter City.
Once he entered, the Shura God would exterminate him.
But now...
The reason he dared to come now was precisely because of the newly added Abyssal channel.
Su Ming looked up at the sky.
God Realm.
"Shura!"
The Gods of Destruction and Life, the seven Elemental Gods, the seven Sin Gods, and many other deities who had given Su Ming trials all gathered before the Shura God's Hall.
Seeing so many deities surrounding his hall, the Shura God roared angrily, "Destruction! What is the meaning of this?"
"And you all, Seven Elemental Gods, Seven Sin Gods! Do not forget your duties!"
The Shura God's cold, stern gaze swept over the many deities. The Second Class Gods all shrank their necks, feeling immense pressure.
The God of Destruction said solemnly, "Shura, adding a Divine King to the God Realm holds extraordinary significance for the entire realm. Whatever conflict you have with Su Ming is your personal matter. You can resolve it after Su Ming ascends to godhood."
The Shura God laughed in extreme anger.
"Allow an enemy of mine into the God Realm?"
"Are you going to defy the will of the overwhelming majority of deities in the God Realm?" the God of Destruction thundered.
The seven Elemental Gods, the seven Sin Gods, the many Second Class Gods, and even deities whose attention was drawn by the commotion all fixed their gazes on the Shura God.
Clearly, having Su Ming, a deity mastering forging techniques, ascend to the God Realm aligned with the interests of all deities except the Shura God.
Moreover, with one more powerhouse, the God Realm could expand again, and its development speed would increase.
The Shura God understood their meaning but had no intention of wasting more words on them.
A bunch of fools who couldn't see the true situation.
This wasn't a struggle for interests anymore.
This was a battle of destinations!
If Tang San died, he would have no future. What use were the God Realm's interests then?
Su Ming dared to enter Slaughter City now precisely because he had altered history, adding an Abyssal channel within Slaughter City, right?
With this Abyssal channel, the many deities who had invested in Su Ming immediately saw the hope of Su Ming directly becoming a Divine King. Of course, they would strive to protect Su Ming's entry into Slaughter City.
Previously, Su Ming had extraordinary potential and high value, but since he offended the Shura God, many were hesitant.
After all, Su Ming might not have the chance to realize that potential.
But what if he could accumulate enough foundation to become a Divine King before ascending to godhood?
