Chapter 118 After Katniss died, it was truly exhilarating!
On the Douluo Continent, many people felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction upon witnessing Katniss's death.
In front of the screen, some people slammed their fists on the table and laughed, while others clapped and cheered. This kind of guy was always making a racket and talking nonsense while he was alive, mistaking ignorance for justice. He had long been unbearable, and now that he had died, it was a great relief to see him die.
However, many people also felt that it was a great pity to let Katniss die like that.
They clenched their fists, their eyes filled with resentment.
He should be imprisoned, stripped of his power, and tortured for forty-nine days, so that she may experience the same suffering that Aglaia had endured, only then can the spirit of the hero who guarded her for a thousand years be consoled.
She dedicated her life to protecting the peace of Ohma, but in the end, she was driven to her death by these selfish people.
If Aglaia were still in the Holy City, how could Ohmmar have become so chaotic in the face of this apocalyptic scene? Those Black Tide creations didn't dare to approach even half a step.
Feng Jin wouldn't have rushed into becoming a demigod just to protect all living beings, thus parting ways with everyone in such a hasty manner.
Of course, there were also some calm people who picked up on something incredible from Bai Er's words:
Katniss had also lived for a thousand years.
She is not a demigod and does not possess the power of a Titan, yet she has been able to live for so long, relying on forbidden techniques.
Regardless of who Katniss was or what she had done, many people were incredibly eager for this forbidden technique—who wouldn't want to extend their lifespan by a thousand years and see all the sights in the world?
Moreover, judging from Katniss's condition, although she appeared old, she was still very energetic. If she hadn't died a violent death, she probably could have lived even longer with this forbidden technique.
However, the people of Douluo Continent were ultimately disappointed and regretful.
The method of using this forbidden technique was not revealed above the sky; there wasn't even a single clue. Even if it were revealed, given the current cultivation system of Douluo Continent, it might not be possible to learn it.
Moreover, the Sky Curtain occasionally rewards people based on what is revealed, such as summoning someone to be resurrected and descend.
But who would choose to resurrect a major villain like Katniss?
That's just annoying and makes you uncomfortable.
It's safe to say that for the people of Douluo Continent to obtain this forbidden technique that can preserve one's identity and memories for a thousand years is nothing but a pipe dream.
"Heh... What's there to envy? He's only lived for a thousand years. You know, the history of the Sea God can be traced back to twenty thousand years ago!"
At this moment, Tang San and his group had arrived at the seaside. The salty sea breeze ruffled their robes. Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, and spoke with a disdainful expression, his tone full of undisguised superiority.
Seeing this, Tang San's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with disdain, and he echoed:
"What secret technique? It's nothing but a strange trick!"
"As long as we can become gods, we can have eternal life. Then we can study the things beyond the heavens. Give me ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, and we will surely be able to master all the things and all the knowledge beyond the heavens!"
"A lifespan of a thousand or ten thousand years... such a long time, even an ordinary person could spend it all and reach the peak of level ninety-nine Douluo! Hahaha, if I have that much time in the future, I will definitely be able to cultivate into a god!"
Tang Xiao laughed loudly, his face full of anticipation, eagerly waiting for Tang San to become the Sea God and bring the entire Haotian Sect to the God Realm, where they would have endless time and lifespan, and restore the sect's glory.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was following behind them, frowned slightly on her indifferent face, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.
Along the way, she had heard enough of these mindless boasts, all about the absurd things they would do after becoming gods, without a single word of practical advice.
One moment he's saying he'll search the world for diamonds and transform himself into a giant tortoise, making his defenses comparable to the Amber King.
One minute he's talking about building a Zhuge Crossbow that's bigger than a planet, and when he pulls the trigger, the arrows it fires will definitely be more powerful than Nicardi's earth-shattering strike.
Tang San even confidently believed that he could make a Zhuge Crossbow even bigger than the Douluo Continent, and it would be no problem to shoot through the Amber King with one arrow.
Leaving aside Tang San's battles in Douluo Continent after becoming a god, his destructive power was far less terrifying than Nicardoli's ability to flatten the heavens and earth and blast mountains and rivers.
Previously, when the Heavenly Curtain was exposed, he fought against Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Even as a god, he might not be able to break through a solid city wall.
With this level of combat power, it's hard to say whether they could even pull the Zhuge Crossbow, which is larger than the continent; it's simply wishful thinking.
Moreover, since the exposure of the Heavenly Curtain, the Douluo Continent has begun to undergo tremendous changes.
The people on the continent gradually awakened to their self-awareness and were no longer willing to be oppressed by nobles and soul masters, which led to a series of fierce and unyielding battles.
Tang San's previous hypocritical behavior has been exposed, and he has even lost the trust of many people.
What about Poseidon Island?
Given the high priestess Poseidon's saintly nature, would she still accept Tang San, such a hypocritical and despicable person, and allow him to inherit the position of the Sea God?
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but worry that their grand journey to Poseidon Island might lead to them being slaughtered by the island's high priest as soon as they landed.
Along the way, in order to show off in front of the Haotian Sect members, Yu Xiaogang revealed quite a bit of information—
For example, the Spirit Hall once sent many people to Seagod Island in an attempt to forcibly recruit the Soul Masters on the island, but in the end, they suffered heavy losses, including several Title Douluos, and returned in a sorry state.
This shows that the power of Seagod Island is incredibly strong, comparable to the current Spirit Hall, and it is not something to be easily provoked.
But they were still boasting to themselves, saying that Tang San would become the Sea God in the future—
No, it's Tang San, the "true" successor to the Sea God, who can immediately become the master of Sea God Island once he arrives.
This immense force will also become their sharpest weapon, helping them sweep across the continent.
Zhu Zhuqing felt that all these people had gone mad, their minds completely clouded by the illusion of future joy, and they couldn't see the situation in front of them at all.
She increasingly felt that going to Seagod Island with Tang San was an extremely wrong thing to do, practically courting death.
The thought of Ning Rongrong leaving the group and never being heard from again made Zhu Zhuqing even more hesitant.
The sky revealed that Ning Rongrong and Oscar possessed a martial soul fusion skill capable of resurrecting gods. Despite such a powerful ability, she did not return to find Oscar, clearly indicating that she was completely disappointed with Tang San's team.
Along the way, Zhu Zhuqing has witnessed their blind arrogance and empty talk, and has become increasingly disappointed in them.
We have now arrived at the seaside, where the waves are crashing against the rocks. One more step and we will board the ship and face the mysterious and powerful Poseidon Island.
She really didn't want to go and die like those idiots.
However, Tang San was accompanied by several titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect. Their auras were heavy, and their eyes were scanning the surroundings warily. If she made any move, she would be noticed, making it really difficult for her to escape.
However, Zhu Zhuqing was also an extremely stubborn person. She had already prepared an escape route. Before setting off, she had secretly prepared enough swimming rings, small inflatable boats and other escape tools in her storage soul tool, enough to support her drifting at sea for several days.
She planned to wait until she boarded the ship, then, under the cover of night and while everyone was asleep, secretly jump off and escape.
Only in this way will the probability of success be greater—after all, the vast ocean is boundless and can effectively conceal her tracks.
A ship can travel a great distance in a single night. By the time Tang San and his companions discovered she was missing, they were already worlds apart, making it virtually impossible to find her again.
