Chapter 10 Tang San: You've already chosen your own death!
[Ice Demon Bear, dead!]
[Survival time: 2 days, 8 hours, 43 minutes, and 1 second]
[Cause of death: Exhaustion!]
[Given the Douluo Continent world and a preliminary understanding of the Primordial Era, substitute mode activated!]
[Number of substitutes available: 3]
[The alternate candidates are being randomly selected!]
The sudden notification from the sky startled everyone, but then they erupted in excitement!
Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
"Don't choose me...please don't choose me!"
Yu Xiaogang, who had been looking quite respectable, turned deathly pale and his lips trembled upon hearing Tianmu's warning.
"I... I still have to defend Heaven Dou against the Spirit Hall. My theories haven't been fully developed yet... I can't go and die!"
He stared intently at the sky, no longer caring about manners or decorum.
He was naturally envious of the rare and precious treasures of the primordial world, and he was also jealous of Shui Bing'er's rapid increase in cultivation.
But how did those people die?
He hasn't forgotten!
Bursting apart by spiritual energy, bitten to death by poisonous insects, torn apart by ferocious beasts...
He, Yu Xiaogang, is now the Imperial Preceptor of the Heavenly Dou Kingdom.
His disciple Tang San possesses the potential to become a god.
With fame and fortune within reach, how can you gamble with your life at a time like this?
Xue Beng's expression tightened on the throne, but as the ruler of a country, he was shrewd and quickly regained his composure.
He glanced at Yu Xiaogang with disdain.
Then he said loudly:
"Gentlemen, the opportunity is right before us! All the people of Tiandou who are fortunate enough to obtain this opportunity will surely become heroes of the empire!"
His gaze swept over the assembled officials in the hall.
"Those who wish to cooperate with the royal family will have access to gold, silver, and treasures at their disposal, and their family members will all be granted titles and high-ranking positions!"
"Even if they unfortunately perish...I will treat their families well and ensure they enjoy the emperor's favor forever!"
Upon hearing this, the prince's civil and military officials, whose hearts had been wavering, gradually calmed down and bowed in unison:
"Your Majesty is benevolent!"
Avalanche's lips curled into a slight smile.
He knew very well that those who could truly return from the primordial era...
They may not value these promises.
But their families and descendants are still fighting against fate.
They'll have to acknowledge this relationship sooner or later!
On one side of the main hall, Ning Fengzhi looked down on Xue Beng's naive methods; he was more concerned about Ning Rongrong!
Although my daughter's cultivation level is increasing...
But every day, that black dog torments me in all sorts of ways.
His heart, as a father, felt like it was being cut by a dull knife.
"God, have mercy! Let me kill that damned dog with one sword!"
Sword Douluo gritted his teeth and prayed.
[Ding! First entrant: Tang Chen, former sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect and King of Slaughter (Level 99 Power Attack Type Soul Master)]
The scene on the screen shifted.
Amidst the pervasive crimson mist, a figure clad in a blood-red robe sat atop a crimson throne.
His face was covered with eerie, blood-red runes, and he held a giant sword that seemed to be formed from blood.
"Tang Chen? No... I am the King of Slaughter!"
He slowly raised his head, his scarlet eyes fixed on the sky.
"However, it's all the same! I will use the blood of the primordial era... to prove my name of slaughter!"
The Haotian Sect was instantly in an uproar.
"It's the Sect Master! It's the former Sect Master Tang Chen!!"
The Second Elder's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light.
Even though his appearance had changed drastically, he recognized the figure etched in his mind at a glance.
That is the backbone of the Haotian Sect.
It was a name that once made the entire continent tremble!
"grandfather..."
Tang Xiao murmured, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Alas, what a pity... that we couldn't welcome back Grandfather sooner!"
"You scoundrel! Are you questioning the sect leader?"
The second elder suddenly turned his head and glared at Tang Xiao.
"The sect leader's appearance is the will of Heaven!"
"Even a junior like Shui Bing'er can establish herself in the prehistoric world. With the sect leader's abilities, she will surely seize all opportunities and sweep across the eight wastelands!"
He was trembling all over.
It wasn't out of fear, but out of fanaticism:
"The day of the return of the king to the Haotian Sect is just around the corner!"
Inside the Spirit Hall,
As Tang Chen's name appeared on the sky,
Bibi Dong suddenly stood up.
How could she not know Tang Chen's reputation?
"I never imagined the King of Slaughter was Tang Chen... He really hid it well."
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, which then turned into disdain.
"He's just an old codger!"
"The primordial world... is not a place where you can roam freely without restraint just by relying on strength!"
Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that the Primordial World was far beyond what Douluo could compare to.
even so,
She still looked down on this so-called "number one in Douluo Continent".
Inside the ancestral hall, Qian Daoliu sighed softly, his feelings quite complex.
"He really didn't die..."
When an old friend reappeared, he felt a mix of emotions.
But in the end, it all turned into a whisper:
"But things have changed, and people are no longer the same! I hope you... can gain something from it!"
Tang Chen's return shocked countless people.
Before they could react,
The second substitute has been selected!
[Ding, the second selected candidate: Snow Empress of the Far North (690,000-year-old soul beast)]
Screen switching,
Amidst the swirling snow, atop the snow-capped mountain,
A lone white figure stood alone.
The woman wore a simple white dress and had an exquisitely beautiful face. Behind her stood a girl with blue hair.
Behind them were snow-covered hills, and if you zoomed in, you could see that those rolling snow-covered hills were actually rows of prostrate, head bowed soul beasts...
"Bing'er, don't worry, I will act with caution!"
The Snow Emperor looked up at the sky, her expression serene.
Only deep within his blue eyes flickered a barely perceptible glimmer of anticipation.
"I'll leave the far north to you for now!"
Snowflakes brushed against her clothes, as if the whole world stood still for her.
"A soul beast? Such an incredibly beautiful woman is actually a soul beast?"
On Poseidon Island, Ma Hongjun's eyes widened.
"What's so special about transformed soul beasts? Isn't Xiao Wu one too?"
Dai Mubai shrugged and turned to look at Tang San.
"What do you think, mistress?"
Tang San nodded absentmindedly.
He was still thinking about Tang Chen.
I never expected that the King of Slaughter would be my great-grandfather.
Hopefully, that "Bloody Swan Kiss" plant that I abandoned back then didn't cause any major problems.
Even if there are any impacts, it's for the good of the mainland.
"I simply did what most people want to do but can't."
Although it contained a little bit of personal motive, I believe my great-grandfather could understand!
Besides, given his current state... he might even be hoping I could free him from this predicament!
Tang San comforted himself.
Just then, the last substitute player appeared!
[Ding! The third entrant: Thousand-Year-Old Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit (possessing the body of a 100,000-year-old soul beast)]
A somewhat silly rabbit appeared in the sky, with pink eyes and snow-white fur, looking harmless.
"Third Brother, look! Isn't that Xiao Wu?"
Ma Hongjun suddenly patted Tang San on the shoulder.
Tang San snapped out of his daze, glanced at the sky, then looked sharply at Xiao Wu in his arms, his expression instantly changing.
"No...impossible!"
"It can't be her, absolutely not!"
He suddenly tightened his arms, holding Xiao Wu tightly in his embrace, his eyes bloodshot, almost driven to madness.
"Whoever dares to take Xiao Wu away, I'll fight them to the death!"
Tang San was devastated, but his first thought was to kneel before Poseidon beside him and plead:
"High Priest, please save Xiao Wu! I'm willing to pay any price!"
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it!"
Poseidon shook her head, her eyes cold.
When Tang Chen was selected, you didn't react at all?
He was your great-grandfather!
Now you're getting anxious over a rabbit?
I was worried about Tang Chen!
Without the filter of being Tang Chen's great-grandson, Tang San looks like a lump in front of her.
If they cared about the Sea God, they would have already dealt with this unfilial descendant of Tang Chen!
"You are the High Priest of the Sea God, the Sea God's spokesperson. If you are not up to the task, does that mean the Sea God is not up to the task either?"
Tang San questioned in a hoarse voice,
"If I can't even protect Xiao Wu, I'd rather not take the Sea God's Trial!"
"You bastard!"
Poseidon slapped Tang San across the face.
"You can't just say you don't want to take the Sea God's Trial!"
Tang San tumbled down the trial steps and crashed to the ground.
"Third Brother, Little Third..."
Dai Mubai and the others rushed over to help Tang San up, glaring angrily at the figure on the Heavenly Steps, but suppressing their anger:
"High Priest, please calm your anger! Third Brother only spoke in a moment of panic..."
"Mistress, let's be patient for now!"
"Yes, maybe this is Xiao Wu's destiny!"
They didn't want to lose the opportunity of the Sea God's assessment. How could they give up such a great opportunity because of a rabbit?
Tang San also realized what was happening.
He cannot afford to offend Poseidon at this time; he needs to be patient and improve his strength.
"Tang San was reckless. Please forgive him, High Priest!"
Tang San's knuckles turned white from clenching his fists, and he finally lowered his head.
Poseidon did not look at him again.
At that moment, three golden pillars of light, piercing through heaven and earth, suddenly descended, enveloping the selected individuals.
Xiao Wu, who was in Tang San's arms, was one of them.
[Teleportation Initiated]
Under the golden light, the rabbit's figure gradually became transparent.
Tang San couldn't catch him no matter how hard he tried.
He watched helplessly as Xiao Wu disappeared from his sight, and helplessness and anger welled up in his heart.
He pounded the ground again and again until his fists bled.
In my heart, I had already sentenced Poseidon to death!
