Faced with the Asura God's almost out-of-control questioning, Ning Liu simply smiled calmly.
"Senior, please calm down, please calm down."
He waved his hand dismissively, as if to say, "This is nothing."
"What do you mean I tampered with the divine realm? That sounds so awful."
Ning Liu cleared his throat and began to spout nonsense with a straight face:
"I just felt that our Douluo Continent is full of talented people, and we can't let them go to waste. So I helped them find some suitable paths so that they could strive for their future."
"Found a way out?"
Asura God's eyes twitched violently; he felt his blood pressure soaring.
You call finding a divine successor for someone "finding a way out"?
Should we give it another shot?
Is a divine position something that can be obtained through hard work? Then the divine realm would be overflowing with gods long ago!
"Don't try to fool me!"
The Asura God stared intently at Ning Liu.
"Tell me! How exactly did you do that?"
"Angels and Rakshasa are one thing, their lineages are in the lower realm. But where did you get those second-level and third-level god positions? The Divine Realm Committee has never received any reports on the titles of these gods!"
Ning Liu shrugged and continued to play dumb:
"Well, that's a trade secret, so I can't disclose it."
He can't exactly say, "I have a super cheat called 'Altar of Faith,' which allows me to assign a divine position to whoever I like," can he?
Seeing Ning Liu's unyielding attitude, Shura God was furious but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, he was the successor he had chosen, and he was now a demigod of level ninety-nine, holding that strange divine sword that even he couldn't see through.
If a real fight were to break out, this clone of mine might not necessarily come out on top.
"you……"
The Asura God pointed at Ning Liu, speechless for a long time.
Having lived for countless years, this was the first time he had felt so powerless.
This kid is a monster who doesn't play by the rules!
He took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
Never mind, I won't ask anymore.
Every era has its share of extraordinary individuals who emerge in response to its needs.
This kid's secret is probably deeper than I imagined.
There's no point in asking further.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The Asura God said "good" three times, his tone filled with complex emotions.
"I can choose not to ask about your secrets. But are you aware of your current state?"
His expression turned serious:
"You have completed the eighth test. The next step is the ninth test—to inherit my divine position and ascend to the throne of the God-King!"
"Your speed is too fast! It's beyond reason!"
The Asura God's eyes sharpened.
"Ning Liu, are you really ready? The throne of the God King carries not only power, but also the order and responsibility of the entire God Realm!"
Ning Liu's smile also faded; he could sense the solemnity in the Asura God's words.
"Senior, I understand."
He nodded and said, "That's precisely why I'm not in a hurry."
"Not in a hurry?" The Asura God was taken aback.
"Yes, no rush."
Ning Liu looked out the window. "Before I actually sit in that position, I need to clean up the house first."
He turned his head, looked at the God of Asura, and said, word by word:
"Senior, I have an opponent, his name is Tang San."
Ning Liu did not hide anything and told the Asura God exactly how Tang San fell into darkness, how he plotted against the Star Luo Empire, how he abducted all its resources and talents, and how he eventually disappeared.
“I suspect he went to another continent.”
"Moreover, he possesses a very sinister devouring power that can turn life and soul into nourishment for his own growth."
Ning Liu's tone became extremely heavy:
"I fear that when he reappears, he will become a demon god who ascends to the throne by sacrificing billions of lives!"
At first, the Asura God was somewhat dismissive of what he heard.
He's just an ordinary kid. No matter how talented or eccentric he is, how much trouble can he cause?
Gods and mortals represent an absolute difference in the level of life.
But when he heard Ning Liu describe Tang San's ability to grow by devouring all the living beings on the continent, his expression finally changed.
"Devouring life, plundering souls... or targeting the entire plane..."
The Asura God frowned, as if he had thought of something, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand, and a wisp of blood-red divine power danced at his fingertips, as if he were deducing something.
"Something's not right...something's not right..."
The Asura God muttered to himself,
"This law... does not belong to any kind of dark deity in our universe. It is more like... an external, pure 'darkness'!"
He suddenly looked up at Ning Liu:
"The Tang San you mentioned, does his dark divine power carry an...uncontrollable 'hunger' that wants to assimilate and devour everything?"
"That's right!"
Ning Liu nodded emphatically.
"broken!"
The Asura God's expression changed drastically, and he lost all the composure of a god-king.
He suddenly waved his hand, and a divine light screen unfolded in the air, displaying the star map of the divine realm's central hub.
His gaze swept quickly across a corner of the star map.
There, there was originally a sealed coordinate that shimmered with the light of ice and fire, set up by him and the two god-kings of life and destruction.
Now, that coordinate has become dim and even shows a few ominous, deep red cracks!
