Putting aside Yu Yuanzhen's guilt for the moment...
Arou's explanation of how one became a god on the Douluo Continent stunned both parallel worlds.
For a brief moment, everything fell silent.
Then...
The entire Douluo Continent erupted into chaos.
---
The Black World
"My goodness..."
"So this is the truth behind Rank 100 Godhood?"
"Ten thousand years of accumulated Luck, all for a single person to become a god..."
"That's unbelievable!"
Another person added,
"There's something even more terrifying."
"The Yu Xiaogang of our world is a complete failure."
"That means we still don't know who the chosen person of this era is."
"But one thing is certain..."
"The major factions are about to go completely insane."
Someone drew a sharp breath.
"A battle that could engulf the entire Douluo Continent..."
"The Title Douluo are probably going to fight each other to the death."
Another voice immediately responded,
"Then we'd better hide."
"I'm not interested in becoming cannon fodder for those monsters."
"Exactly."
"I'm not sacrificing my life just so someone else can become a god."
Conversations like these echoed throughout the continent.
Even ordinary civilians sensed that a storm was approaching.
Everyone knew that the Yu Xiaogang of this world had long since lost any chance of becoming a god.
Because of his failure...
Yu Yuanzhen had never received the God of Destruction's promise.
That meant...
The qualification for godhood remained unclaimed.
Every major power would inevitably fight for it.
A continent-wide struggle had already begun.

Spirit Hall — Elder Hall
After hearing Arou's explanation...
Qian Daoliu immediately ordered someone to summon his granddaughter back from the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Return Xiao Xue immediately."
A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"If Arou is telling the truth..."
"Then Xiao Xue's talent is more than enough to compete for this era's divine opportunity."
Although Qian Daoliu served as the Angel God's Divine Guardian...
Even he knew surprisingly little about the secrets of godhood.
Still...
His instincts told him Arou was speaking the truth.
His decision was immediate.
"If Xiao Xue is truly recognized by the Angel God..."
"I will eliminate every obstacle standing in her way."
Standing before the Elder Hall's window...
He stared toward the heavenly projection with unwavering determination.
---
Bibi Dong reacted far more calmly.
She was certainly surprised...
But only slightly.
She had already begun the Rakshasa God's Divine Trials.
Those who hadn't even qualified to begin a Divine Trial...
How could they possibly compete with her?
Just as Yu Yuanzhen from the parallel world had concluded...
After solving the flaws of her twin martial spirits...
She possessed eighteen spirit rings.
Who could possibly rival her...
Aside from true gods...
Or those capable of borrowing divine power?
---
Shrek Academy
Everyone inside the academy was equally stunned.
"So..."
"Our generation actually has the chance to become gods?"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed.
"And now that this secret is public..."
"Doesn't that mean the next era will become a battle among every powerhouse on the continent?"
His voice had become noticeably shrill.
The others remained silent.
But their shock was no less intense.
Godhood.
The highest dream of every Spirit Master.
A once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity...
And they had encountered it.
Everyone's heart began racing.
Oscar unconsciously muttered,
"I'm the first food-system Spirit Master with Full Innate Spirit Power."
"Maybe..."
"I'm one of those blessed by Luck."
Ma Hongjun immediately followed.
"Everyone in my village awakened Grass Chicken Spirits."
"I alone awakened a Phoenix."
"Doesn't that prove I'm favored by destiny?"
Ning Rongrong wasn't willing to fall behind.
"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has already found a heavenly treasure capable of evolving it."
"Surely that means Luck is on my side too."
One after another...
Everyone began convincing themselves that they were among destiny's chosen.
After all...
Every student present could be considered a genius.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, whose Innate Spirit Power ranked only seventh...
Possessed extraordinary talent compared to ordinary Spirit Masters.
Several among them even possessed Full Innate Spirit Power.
Naturally...
Each secretly imagined becoming the final victor.
---
Just then...
A voice shattered everyone's thoughts.
"Little San!"
"You are the one blessed by Luck!"
Yu Xiaogang's excited shout echoed through the room.
Everyone instinctively turned toward him.
His face had turned bright red.
His eyes were bloodshot.
He stared directly at Tang San.
"Teacher..."
Tang San looked confused.
Before he could continue...
Yu Xiaogang interrupted him.
"Little San."
"You understand your own advantages."
"You are my disciple."
"You will definitely become the one who ascends to godhood!"
After hearing Arou's explanation...
Yu Xiaogang felt as though his heart had been torn apart.
That once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity...
Should have belonged to him.
Instead...
He had missed it forever.
The pain was unbearable.
But he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Now wasn't the time for regret.
If he had to choose the two people most likely to become gods in this generation...
Only two names came to mind.
Bibi Dong.
And Tang San.
Bibi Dong required no explanation.
She possessed Full Innate Spirit Power.
Twin Martial Spirits.
Both were top-tier martial spirits.
If even she couldn't become a god...
Then no one on the continent could.
The second candidate...
Was Tang San.
Like Bibi Dong...
He possessed twin martial spirits.
Although his Blue Silver Grass was far weaker...
His Clear Sky Hammer more than compensated for that weakness.
Yu Xiaogang firmly believed that, through careful planning and perfectly chosen spirit rings...
Even Blue Silver Grass could become an extraordinary martial spirit.
When the time came...
Only Tang San and Bibi Dong would remain in the final struggle.
And if necessary...
He would personally negotiate with Bibi Dong.
He would trade reconciliation...
In exchange for Tang San's opportunity to ascend.
Then...
Tang San would become a god under his guidance.
At that moment...
Who would still dare call him a failure?
His own strength might be insignificant...
But he would have cultivated a god.
---
Tang San met his teacher's bloodshot gaze.
He immediately understood everything Yu Xiaogang was trying to say.
His greatest advantage...
Was his twin martial spirits.
The same unparalleled talent possessed by the current Supreme Pontiff.
As long as he continued growing...
Only Bibi Dong could truly compete with him.
If he defeated her...
He would become a god.
A legendary god.
Tang San didn't know what awaited beyond godhood.
But since fate had given him such an opportunity...
He would fight for it with everything he had.
As for losing?
Impossible.
He possessed twin martial spirits.
He also carried the inheritance of the Tang Sect.
With advantages like those...
What could Bibi Dong possibly use to compete against him?
