"Lin Hanye?" Suddenly, Tang Chen recalled the brilliant young man he had tricked.
It seemed he hadn't fallen for his scheme, and that his founding of the Spirit Master Guild was a premeditated plan, all for the purpose of gathering the power of faith.
Tang Hao commented, "Yes, Grandfather. He's incredibly cunning. For years after you left, he's been using the Spirit Master Guild to win over the hearts and minds of the people, amassing numerous followers. He's also been secretly bribing the major clans of Douluo Continent, even the Spirit Hall, in a bid to gather the power of faith and attain godhood. Now, not only the three former sects, but even the two great empires are gone, unified by Lin Hanye, forming the Douluo Republic. Almost nine out of ten people in the Republic believe in him. And the leader of this Republic is Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu's granddaughter and the newly crowned Angel God."
"A truly masterful tactic." Upon hearing this, Tang Chen, despite his reluctance, had to acknowledge Lin Hanye's skill.
From a mere abandoned child of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with half a level of innate soul power, to the true ruler of the continent, a 100th-level god.
Such a mind and means would make even the most arrogant of him feel ashamed. Dıscover more novels at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
Tang Chen said righteously, "Great-grandfather, don't worry. Their arrogance won't last long. The moment I became a Titled Douluo, the Asura God found me and chose me as his successor."
"He also told me that with the amount of faith Lin Hanye has currently gathered, he's only on par with an Angel God, a Level 1 God. Even if he's powerful, he's not that great. The Asura God, on the other hand, is different. He's one of the three law enforcement gods of the Divine Realm Committee, a being on par with a God King. Even if Lin Hanye and Qian Renxue are powerful, they can't be a match for the Asura God. As long as I inherit the Asura God throne, I will definitely restore order to the continent, save the Clear Sky Sect, and rescue the people from danger, so that they will no longer be deceived by Lin Hanye."
Hearing this, Tang Chen felt both relieved and self-deprecating.
He was relieved that the Clear Sky Sect finally had a successor.
He scoffed at himself, feeling completely abandoned by the Asura God and unable to fulfill the promise he'd made to Poseidon.
"Get up, get up quickly, good boy! Let Great-Grandfather have a good look at you." Tang Chen struggled to his feet, supported by Tang Hao.
Tang San, having previously battled Tang Chen, had inevitably sustained significant internal injuries. With Xiao Wu's support, he staggered to his feet.
"I see you've already achieved the God of Death's Domain. The Asura God's test for you must be to seize the Asura Demon Sword from me," Tang Chen asked.
"I'm sorry, Great-Grandfather."
Although Tang San hated this, it was his only hope of resurrecting his mother and taking revenge.
"No need to apologize. Besides, I have no use for the Asura Demon Sword now." Tang Chen now understood the reason why the Asura God had come to Tang San without initiating the Divine Trial. He probably wanted him to voluntarily give up the Asura Demon Sword and transfer the energy from the first eight trials into the sword, thereby transferring it to Tang San.
If it were anyone else, he would certainly not be pleased.
But who could blame him for being his great-grandson?
"Your Clear Sky Hammer Spirit ring slots should be almost full, right?" Tang Chen asked again.
"Yes, great-grandfather."
Tang San nodded. Unlike the original novel, without the Titan Giant Ape sacrifice, the Thousand Jun Ant King brothers had long since been given to one of Lin Hanye's children. Furthermore, the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts had either been killed by Lin Hanye early on or taken in by Gu Yuena.
As a result, Tang San hadn't obtained a single hundred-thousand-year Spirit ring.
Even the ninth ring of the Gale Wolf was black.
They had searched far and wide, but hadn't encountered a single hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
"Then absorb this Spirit ring behind me first. It's the Spirit ring that grew after you killed the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King. It's over a hundred thousand years old. It's the perfect ninth Spirit ring for your Clear Sky Hammer."
"Okay, great-grandfather."
Even without Tang Chen's advice, he would have chosen to absorb the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's Spirit ring. There was no other way; he was desperate to improve.
Whenever he recalled Tang Hao's words about Lin Hanye possessing at least three hundred thousand year Spirit rings, he flew into a frenzy of envy.
Tang Hao and Xiao Wu also smiled.
Tang Hao, in particular, had originally considered finding a way to have Xiao Wu sacrifice him if he couldn't find a hundred thousand year Spirit ring. After all, it was crucial to his son's future achievements.
After all, Tang San could be resurrected after becoming a god.
Now that there was a better option, it was naturally the best.
"But I can't give you the Shura Demon Sword just yet."
But Tang Chen's next words left Tang Hao, Tang San, and Xiao Wu somewhat displeased.
Xiao Wu asked bluntly, "Didn't you say the Shura Demon Sword was no longer useful to you? And Xiao San is your great-grandson, so why can't I give it to him?"
"Xiao Wu." Although Tang San was scolding, he also wanted a satisfactory explanation from Tang Chen.
Tang Chen, nearing death, naturally paid no attention. He replied, "Because I still have a promise to fulfill. I owe Poseidon so much. Even though I couldn't keep it, I still want to go see her. After you absorb this Spirit ring, come find me on Seagod Island. Then, someone will hand over the Shura Demon Sword to you."
Just then, Tang Hao spoke up, revealing a fact that Tang Chen couldn't accept. "But Grandpa, Poseidon was married to Lin Hanye decades ago. And so was Bibi Dong, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall. In fact, they were all Lin Hanye's women long before."
Hearing this, Tang Chen recalled that when Poseidon had said, 'Whoever becomes a god on their own must accept him,' it seemed Lin Hanye had been on Seagod Island at the time.
In other words, Lin Hanye had been there, meaning these words weren't just addressed to him and Qian Daoliu, but also to Lin Hanye.
And yet, Lin Hanye had gone to Poseidon decades earlier, before he even achieved godhood.
Doesn't this mean that he had given the other party an opportunity in vain?
Thinking of this, Tang Chen's immense Shura power could no longer be suppressed, as if it was about to overwhelm his body at any moment.
Finally, Tang Chen couldn't hold it back, and with a loud "Wow," he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. "Impossible! Poseidon loves me. It should be me. That bastard Lin Hanye must have forced him to do it. Yes, it must be that."
Even now, Tang Chen still couldn't accept the fact that Poseidon was marrying someone else.
Tang Hao expressed understanding for his grandfather's inappropriate reaction, because he had been through the same thing before.
Tang San was completely depressed.
Could it be that Lin Hanye was really the nemesis of his Tang family?
First his father, then his great-grandfather. If we also count Tang Weiwei, who has been missing for many years and is very likely in the hands of the Spirit Master Guild, doesn't that mean that three of the four generations of the Tang family have had their wives stolen by Lin Hanye?
Thinking of this, Tang San felt more and more that Lin Hanye was destined for death. He assured Tang Chen, "Don't worry, great-grandfather. When I become the Shura God, I will kill Lin Hanye, destroy the Spirit Hall, destroy the Spirit Master Guild, and destroy the Douluo Republic to avenge you."
Tang Chen didn't answer Tang San, but looked at Tang Hao, "Hao'er, where is Poseidon now?"
"He should be at the Spirit Master Guild headquarters in Sunset Forest. That's where Lin Hanye's temple is." Tang Hao hesitated, but still answered, and at the same time, he did not forget to advise, "Grandfather, you must not be impulsive. That Lin Hanye has already become a god."
