Chapter 1 God's Favor
Douluo Continent.
On the summit of Sword Peak.
An elderly man with white hair stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky with a fervent longing in his eyes.
In the void, a ray of light descended upon the world, its inexplicable power extremely strong, already beyond the scope of this world!
"god!"
The white-haired old man's expression became even more excited.
Have you finally found the god you've been dreaming of?
Finally, we've won the favor of the gods!
He became a Title Douluo at the age of thirty-seven and a Level 99 Peerless Douluo before the age of sixty. He was already invincible on the Douluo Continent. How amazing!
However, he spent over seventy years striving to attain godhood, but found not a glimmer of hope.
Now, finally, a god himself has found him!
That power is unmistakable! Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, there is no power or force that can pose a threat to a level 99 Peerless Douluo, except perhaps a god.
"Buzz—"
A bluish-green glow descended upon the world, its gentle yet powerful force enveloping the entire mountain peak. A figure faintly emerged, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged man, solemn and dignified.
"I am the God of Hurricanes, Dustwind. Are you willing to accept the legacy of the God of Hurricanes?"
The middle-aged man immediately recognized the old man's name as Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was slightly taken aback, his surprise fading considerably in an instant. "The God of Hurshes?"
He was somewhat surprised, but also puzzled. His martial soul was a Seven Kill Sword, and he himself had proven his Dao with the sword, becoming the strongest person in the history of Douluo Continent with the Seven Kill Sword martial soul. How could he be chosen by the God of Hurricane?
Even though Chen Feng had never met a god, he could tell from the name alone that there was absolutely no connection between the hurricane element and his sword.
Although Chen Feng longed to become a god, he also clearly realized that this divine position was not worthy of him!
Just like matching a spirit ring to a martial spirit, only the right one is the best. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive, or even lead to conflicting abilities and no use for the spirit, even if the opponent is a god.
The phantom of the God of Hurricane sighed softly, naturally able to guess what Chen Feng was thinking, "Currently in the God Realm, there are no vacancies in the positions of the various God Kings and the First-Level Gods, unless one can create a god's position, but that's too difficult..."
"I am the God of Hurricanes, and only a second-level deity under the Wind Elemental God. My martial soul is not a match for yours. However, seeing your extraordinary talent, I could not bear to let it go to waste, so I came to inquire. As for whether you are willing to accept the inheritance, that is your choice."
The God of Hurricanes spoke frankly, without any attempt to conceal anything.
Chen Feng had never been to the realm of gods, but he understood from the description of the elemental god that even gods have varying degrees of strength.
It is obvious that the Hurricane God in front of us is inferior to a first-level god in terms of both strength and status, let alone a god-king.
but……
Dust and white hair danced in the wind, his brows were furrowed, and the years had etched deep marks on his face.
If he didn't become a god, Chen Feng felt that he would probably never have any hope of becoming a god in his lifetime.
For a moment, Chen Feng was filled with mixed feelings and extremely conflicted.
After a brief moment of thought, Chen Feng seemed to have made up his mind. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the God of Hurricane and said resolutely, "Senior, to be frank, I have never encountered an opponent in my life since my martial soul awakened. If I cannot become the strongest god, even if I ascend to the God Realm, I will only feel that the rest of my life is tasteless. Therefore, I do not want to accept the inheritance of the God of Hurricane."
Chen Feng was resolute, just like his Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul. He would not draw his sword unless it was absolutely necessary, but once he did, he would sever everything!
Even the connection with God, after Chen Feng had thought it through, was nothing worth clinging to.
"Good, good, not bad, you have integrity."
The God of Hurricane wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said to another part of the void, "Your Excellency has excellent judgment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding red light suddenly appeared, and a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and loose red hair walked out.
His entrance wasn't as grand as the God of Hurricanes'; he simply stood there quietly, yet exuded an unparalleled majesty.
Upon seeing him, even the God of Hurricanes dared not put on airs anymore, and simply stood behind him with a forced smile, like a mouse before a cat.
"bite--"
Chen Feng felt an immense pressure that almost made him breathless. The Seven Kill Sword of Martial Souls rang softly and appeared in his hand. At the same time, nine soul rings rose up, forming the optimal soul ring combination: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red.
The last ray of red light slowly rose, symbolizing the appearance of the 100,000-year soul ring. Only then did the pressure ease slightly. However, the aura of the red-haired middle-aged man was still as imposing as Mount Tai and the Big Dipper. Even Chen Feng, a level 99 peerless Douluo, dared not move easily, as if there was an abyss beneath his feet.
Duststorm was shocked. The red-haired middle-aged man was clearly an extremely powerful deity, very likely the first-level deity mentioned by the God of Hurricanes, or even the one from the legends.
According to relevant records, five hundred years ago, Tang San, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, inherited the God of Asura, which looked like this!
"I am the God of Asura, the Arbiter of the Divine Realm, one of the Five Great God-Kings!"
The Asura God's self-disclosure of his identity proved everything.
His eyes were deep, a hint of red light hidden within them, as he calmly gazed at Chen Feng. "Are you willing to attain the Asura Godhood?"
Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Excellency, the God of Asura, I am willing to accept the inheritance of the God of Asura, but I still want to ask, isn't the current God of Asura Tang San, the God of the Sea?"
Five hundred years ago, during the battle of the gods at Jialing Pass, Tang San simultaneously held the dual divine positions of Sea God and Asura God, defeating Angel God Qian Renxue and Rakshasa God Bibi Dong. This is clearly recorded.
With Tang San around, how can I inherit the title of God of Asura?
If I were to inherit the power of the Asura God, then what would Tang San be?
"snort!"
Upon hearing Tang San's name, the God of Asura immediately expressed his displeasure, saying, "Tang San, does he even deserve to be the God of Asura?"
Ok?
Chen Feng was taken aback. Could there be some other story behind this?
But then the true form of the Asura God continued, "The Asura God is the God of Judgment in the God Realm, presiding over the majesty of the God Realm and symbolizing selflessness. But after Tang San succeeded me as God, look at what he has done!"
Beside him, the God of Hurricanes chuckled and interjected, "Dust Wind, didn't you want to know why, despite your astonishing talent, you couldn't find a divine inheritance?"
"A large part of the reason for this is because of Tang San, that respected Sea God, who, through his overt and covert manipulations, allowed his relatives and friends to seize many divine positions! His parents, sons, daughters, sons-in-law, friends... many people have inherited divine positions, including quite a few first-level gods."
The God of Asura nodded and said, "Not only that, Tang San also profoundly influenced the Douluo Continent plane and monopolized the resources for becoming a god on the Douluo Continent. It can be said that for the next tens of thousands of years, the Douluo Continent was almost entirely named after the surname 'Tang'."
The Asura God was furious. "As the Asura God, this is absolutely unacceptable! Even a second-level deity cannot interfere in other planes without permission! Not to mention that Tang San, as the Asura God, has already acted unjustly. As the Asura God himself, I cannot stand idly by. I must find a suitable candidate to inherit the Asura God's position and strip Tang San of his divine status!"
Even Chen Feng, a peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine, couldn't help but feel a bit dazed after hearing such explosive news.
The first Asura God was dissatisfied with his successor Tang San and even wanted to find someone to replace him as a god. Who would believe that?
But ironically, all of this is true, and it is happening right now.
"We gods can traverse space and time. Perhaps there are some things you are not aware of, but I have already seen through them. Now I only want to ask you, are you willing to accept the test and inheritance of the God of Asura?" the God of Asura said.
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Your Excellency, the God of Asura, of course I am willing! However, the position of God of Asura has already been taken by Tang San, so how can I inherit it?"
The Asura God sighed, "I have already passed the Asura Godhood to Tang San. Now, even I, the First God, am helpless against him. All I can do is reforge the Asura Godhood!"
"Reforge the Asura God?"
Dust Wind was stunned. Could the same divine position be created again?
Beside him, the God of Hurricane, clearly more knowledgeable about the inside story, solemnly advised, "Lord Asura God, wouldn't you like to reconsider? Now that you've lost your divine position, the price to pay for creating a new Asura God..."
The God of Asura waved his hand, "My mind is made up. I can't let Tang San run wild any longer, or wouldn't the God Realm also be under the Tang family name in the future?"
He turned to face Chen Feng and said earnestly, "Chen Feng, actually, I've been observing you ever since you were promoted to the ranks of Title Douluo. Over the past few decades, your character has been resolute and indomitable, much like mine when I was young!"
"I must emphasize that what you are about to inherit is only the qualification to become the Asura God, not the direct Asura God. To become the Asura God, you must undergo a series of tests by me. Are you confident?"
Chen Feng nodded, and the Seven Kill Sword in his hand also emitted endless sword intent.
"The future Tang San is too strong. If you face him head-on, you have no chance of winning. I will send you more than 500 years ago to compete with Tang San in the same era before he rose to prominence."
"Once you pass the test and inherit the position of the Asura God, you will possess the power to judge all!"
Chen Feng took a deep breath.
We Soul Masters, what is our goal nothing more than to become gods?
After a hundred years of arduous cultivation, I have finally reached this point, and now the hope of becoming a god is finally within reach.
What about five hundred years ago?
So what if it's Poseidon?
So what if he's Tang San?
With the Seven Kill Sword in hand, I am invincible in the world!
Chen Feng's gaze was resolute.
"call--"
Asura God raised his hand, and a force that distorted space swept over.
Chen Feng felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in a colorful tunnel.
"I offer myself as a sacrifice to achieve the future Asura Godhood!"
The Asura God had flowing red hair and flickering red divine light, resembling a demon god.
However, his figure faded away, as if melting, and slowly merged into the Seven Kill Sword.
"Pass my test to attain godhood. This is the most powerful sacrificial method in the world. One step forward, and the world is yours; one step back, and you will be shattered to pieces!"
Within the vibrant, multicolored spatial passage, the figure of the Asura God vanished completely, leaving only a lingering, echoing voice...
Chen Feng also felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, the Seven Kill Sword automatically retracted, and he fainted as everything went black.
