Chapter 288 - Nangong Lingyun: You Originally Had the Chance to Become a Dual God King

Nangong Lingyun's voice carried little emotion — neither impassioned nor hysterical. It flowed smoothly, like he was telling a story, calm and even.

Yet just listening, Tang Chen and Tang Hao felt a wave of helplessness choke them from the heart.

To treat someone like Yu Xiao Gang as a treasure, to never abandon him, to cling to him even when the world opposes — what kind of fuckery is that? What kind of mind-blowing absurdity?

More than confusion, it was piercing pain, and an overwhelming sense of waste.

Becoming a god is already rare; tracing back twenty thousand years might find a single angel, and before the angels, who knows how many eons passed — fifty thousand, a hundred thousand years?

There are only five God Kings in the entire Upper Realm. Across countless dimensions and planets, over endless timelines, even selecting one from billions is impossible.

A dual God King? Probably never happened since the birth of the Upper Realm.

If Tang Chen had successfully inherited the Asura God King's throne, that's three out of five in the same family. That whole timeline would have been ruled by the Tang family.

Infinite glory, unparalleled honor.

And yet… it all ended in this disaster.One half of the dual-martial-soul wasted, a bright future shattered.

Even strangers, not just kin, would feel the heartbreak and rage at such squandered potential.

Had Nangong Lingyun not been here, they might have already realized why some flowers bloom so brilliantly.

As for the third son himself, his Dao-heart was completely shattered.

The first words Nangong Lingyun spoke struck him like lightning. His heart sank into deep regret, hands clenched into fists to suppress the turbulent emotion.

When the words "succeeding as the dual God King of Life and Destruction" emerged, it was as if his body was struck by a thunderclap. He collapsed, pupils dilated, face pale — just like Tang Hao earlier — drained of spirit, turned into a walking corpse.

He now had no inheritance of even the most ordinary deity, yet he had once had the chance to wield two God King thrones? And it wasn't even by chance — others actively sought him out?

Tang San felt his heart swell as if something inside would explode. Pain stretched to the limit, unbearable.

Lying on the ground, he gasped for breath.

Then reality seemed to warp; everything slowed, sounds stretched, senses and consciousness scrambled.

Seeing him like this, Nangong Lingyun, worried he wouldn't hear the weight of his words, patiently waited until Tang San's emotions began to stabilize before continuing.

"After the Shrek Academy group failed, I seriously reflected on myself.

Was it because of past friction between us, making it hard for you to trust me?Was it because my talent and background were too high, so intimidating that you feared approaching me?Or were my methods at the time too extreme?Also, your understanding of martial soul theory was too shallow, many points distorted by Yu Xiao Gang, maybe you couldn't even tell right from wrong.

So I added a special functional auxiliary soul ring, called Qianbian Wanhua (Myriad Transformations).

It could amplify your control over your own martial soul, allow you to transform into another person, and, with certain powers, even temporarily simulate other martial souls.

I hoped to use a completely new identity to start from scratch and slowly build a connection with you.

This identity had some talent, some strength, some background, but not overwhelmingly so — enough to not intimidate.

During this process, I aimed to guide you gently and subtly toward the right path, teach you the true depths of martial soul theory,

open your mind, and help you recognize what is truly right and wrong.

This is the origin of Qin Feng, and why his personality is so frivolous, why he speaks without restraint, why no secret is too bold for him to reveal.

But I never imagined that the result would be… you thinking you could kill me,

force me to reveal my cultivation methods, steal my soul bones, eliminate my threat.

Ha!"

Nangong Lingyun exhaled, this time thick with emotion — not fury, but sarcasm and disdain.

"Tang San, I should actually thank you. You've taught me something:

Not every worm can become a butterfly — some of them are just damn maggots.

You've also shown me that even pitiable people have hateful traits.

Oh, and your father Tang Hao, who tried to murder his wife, and the infamous teacher Yu Xiao Gang in the soul master world — the stories of people like you are truly spectacular.

The lessons from them cannot be learned from a hundred or a thousand books, nor can they reach the depth of the heart.

To show my gratitude, I've decided to utterly destroy you."

Those words shattered the air like a thunderclap.

The three, still dazed and stunned, immediately snapped awake.

Panic and fear surged, yet they had no choice but to scramble for a plan, trying to find even a sliver of hope.

Tang Chen summoned the Asura God King internally.

Nangong Lingyun had once given him face; if he appeared, perhaps survival was still possible.

Tang Hao's nine soul rings appeared all at once, then exploded in an instant.

Tremendous, terrifying energy surged outward like a tsunami, yet it wasn't channeled into the Hao Tian Hammer. Instead, it withdrew into his own body.

Almost simultaneously, his figure fractured into residual images, racing toward the door at light speed.

Since encountering Angel Yan, he had mentally rehearsed countless escape strategies — exploding soul rings, fleeing at the edge. Today, he finally executed them.

Combined with Tang San's ghostly misdirection, the effect was incredible — instant speed more than three times normal.

And as for Bing Qing Yujie,he had no deity to call upon and couldn't outrun even a rat.

After several seconds of extreme panic, a sudden flash of inspiration hit his mind. He fell to his knees before Nangong Lingyun with a thud, crying uncontrollably, bowing like a hammer pounding.

"Brother Yun, Xiao San knows he was wrong, utterly wrong. I was deceived by that villain Yu Xiao Gang, blinded by his schemes.

But now, you've educated me and awakened me.

From now on, Xiao San will follow you loyally, serve you as horse or ox.

You tell me east, I won't go west. You tell me to bite the dog, I won't bite the pig. No matter how dirty, ugly, or evil the task, I'll do it without complaint.

If you want Tang Hao and Tang Chen killed, or Hao Tian Sect destroyed, I can help. I know many secret bases of Hao Tian Sect and the core disciples they dispatched outside.

You can treat Xiao San like your dog. Woof, woof! Woof woof woof! Do I act the part well?"
