"Using the moment of ascension to godhood to replace the one who has already become a god, and using the divine position to create errors in the rules?"
"The idea is indeed good, but the problem is, who can become a god in this era?"
Roman rested his cheek on his hand, casually fiddling with the plate in front of him with his chopsticks.
After pondering Amon's idea for a while, he agreed, finding it very feasible.
Silently replacing the one who has already become a god, whether a first-level or second-level god, is an error of extremely high rank.
Combined with the monocle given to him by Huo Yuhao, it could indeed shake the erroneous rules.
However, this seemingly perfect plan has a huge flaw: are there any gods in this era?
If not, then this method is like a castle in the air, useless.
It would be better to obediently interpret the rules and become a god through faith.
Amon pushed up his monocle and said with a smile,
"Those who become gods?"
"Aren't there quite a few of them?"
"Isn't Star Luo City full of them right now?"
Roman's expression immediately turned dangerous. He put down his chopsticks, straightened up, and looked at Amon.
"You're not thinking of targeting Bai E and the others, are you?"
"Be careful. Your appetite might be too big, and you'll end up choking on it."
"Besides, Boss wouldn't agree to your plan anyway."
Huo Yuhao looked at Amon and said,
"Just tell us what you're really thinking. Stop teasing Roman before he actually gets angry."
"If he really decides to beat you up, I won't be able to stop him."
Amon helplessly shook his head and sighed.
"I really was picked up from a trash can. No father to dote on me, no brother to love me."
Roman immediately mocked him,
"You're not that lucky."
"You're flattering yourself."
"You were born a demon from the very beginning, with evil rooted deep in your nature!"
"But there is one thing you got right—you really are starved for love."
"Your older brother Roman wouldn't mind making up for the belt you missed in your childhood."
Hearing Roman's sarcasm, Huo Yuhao was helpless.
This was the first time he'd seen Roman display such aggression; it seemed that Amon's online scam had really angered him.
Amon, on the other hand, didn't care about Roman's sarcasm, or rather, he only found Roman's aggression amusing.
"Alright, alright, just kidding."
"How could I possibly lay a hand on Bai E and the others?
I wouldn't interfere with Father's plans."
"And if we really make a move, my dear sister will probably get angry.
If she gets angry, my father and my older brother will probably teach me a lesson."
"Poor Amon doesn't want to be double-teamed."
Amon adjusted his black pointed soft hat, straightened his expression, and said,
"Three methods."
"The first method is for me to cultivate a god myself."
"I will secretly bestow all the blessings of fate upon him, granting him opportunities without regard to cost, and of course, these opportunities will contain some small surprises."
"I will gradually guide him to the top of the world, leading him through the divine trials, until he becomes a god, and then collect the price behind the gifts."
Huo Yuhao tapped the table with his fingertips, his black eyes looking at Amon, and said,
"A very bold idea."
"But it's also a relatively safe method, with a high degree of feasibility."
"If you choose this path, I do have a good candidate for this unlucky god-becomeer."
Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something amusing, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.
He drew a finger in the air, and a magic net screen appeared in front of Amon.
On the screen was a man with long, golden, center-parted hair, deep blue eyes with double pupils, and a strong physique.
It was none other than the second son of the Dai family, Huo Yuhao's beloved son, whose love even surpassed that for Tang San, and who was ranked number one on the Douluo Continent's must-eat list.
Amon looked at the picture and said softly,
"I think his name is Dai Huabin."
"A member of the Shrek Academy's reserve team."
"Is there anything special about him, Father?"
Huo Yuhao pointed to the man in the picture and said,
"This guy is considered an enemy of our family."
"Your grandmother died because of him."
These few words sometimes contained a wealth of information.
Amon adjusted his monocle, a dangerous glint in his eyes, and said,
"The one who killed Grandma?"
"How interesting."
"I understand, Father. Then my first target will be him."
"Dai Huabin..."
"I will remember this name forever."
Amon didn't ask any more questions.
He quickly guessed the reason: since his father had kept the man who killed Grandma alive, it meant his father didn't want him to die so easily.
Sometimes, living is more terrifying than dying.
As for Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao will make him experience all the pain in the world, falling from the pinnacle of godhood to the abyss of mortals.
The fall of a genius is an inevitable part of the fantasy world.
As for "don't underestimate a young man's potential"?
He'll have to respect the dead in the future.
Amon then began to explain his second method.
"Of course, I have a second method."
"If there are no gods in this era, then let's go to other eras."
"Wasn't ten thousand years ago the best era?"
"There were at least nine gods during that period."
Roman looked at Amon, his brow furrowed, his emerald green eyes fixed on him.
"Time travel?"
"Neither I nor your father understand the realm of time."
"But it's not impossible, is it?
Aren't there ready-made examples?"
Amon interrupted Roman, looking at Huo Yuhao. Clearly, Adam had already informed Amon about Dai Ying and Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said,
"Time travel does exist, but it's more like spacetime travel than actual time travel."
"It's not jumping back and forth on one timeline, but jumping from one timeline to another."
"I can't do that right now; I need to obtain the Time Crown first."
"Only with the Time Crown can I attempt research into spacetime travel."
"So your second method can't be implemented for now."
Amon nodded and said,
"Before revealing the third method, I want to ask Father something."
"Is the Sea God truly a dual-god?"
"Has he truly mastered the Asura God's position?"
Huo Yuhao looked at Amon with interest and asked,
"Why do you ask?"
Amon said softly,
"If he truly and completely mastered the Asura God's position, then why is the worship still primarily focused on the Sea God?"
"In Douluo Continent, he should be called the Asura God Tang San, not the Sea God Tang San."
"If he hasn't completely seized control of the Asura God's position, I might be able to intervene."
Huo Yuhao's fingers twitched a few times on the magic network, sending a video to Amon. The video was about what had happened in the God Realm recently.
"Take a look at this, and you'll have your own answer."
Amon immediately opened the video, watching the entire process at the highest speed, a mysterious light flashing in his black eyes.
"Looks like I underestimated that sister from another dimension. Well done."
"Her soul was split into nine parts, and they're not getting along."
"Heh, and she's even trying to absorb the continent's faith."
"The Asura God's position has already been touched by nine consciousnesses. Adding me won't make much difference; it'll even make an even number."
Huo Yuhao looked at Amon and said,
"Got an idea?"
Amon pushed up his monocle and said,
"Yes."
"The Sea God's main consciousness is definitely being targeted by the other eight.
If the main consciousness loses the battle, will he bring the Asura God's position to Douluo Continent?"
"If he comes to Douluo Continent, where will he go?"
"That's interesting and exciting."
"Perhaps I can influence that Sea God through the Sea God's family."
After Amon finished speaking, he stood up, took off his pointed soft hat, and bowed to Huo Yuhao, saying,
"Father, things here are almost over."
"Star Luo City will probably launch a full-scale manhunt for me next."
"I'll go back to the sea first. Whether it's the first or the third method, we need to prepare in advance."
Huo Yuhao nodded, a gentle smile on his face, and said:
"Be careful to hide your true form; the Time Worm is, after all, a mechanical-type martial soul."
"If you encounter danger at sea, remember to activate your spiritual imprint and hide in the dream space."
"Um, stay away from Bai E for now; if he sees you, he'll probably get agitated and treat you to noodles."
Amon smiled, put his hat back on, and left the restaurant, his figure gradually disappearing into the colorful lights of Star Luo City.
After watching Amon's figure disappear, Huo Yuhao said to Roman beside him,
"I'm leaving too."
"The Starlight Auction is coming up soon; I'm going to see Xu Jiujiu."
"I need to give some items to Bai E and the others through the auction."
"Giving them to them in person, given their personalities, they probably won't accept it."
"Do you want to participate too?"
Roman said with a sullen face, "Forget it, I don't have any money or invitations."
"I'll just wander around Star Luo City."
