Tang Chen's instant kill and Tang Chen's indifference felt like a mountain weighing on their hearts.
However, these words of advice, when heard by Tang San, became an excuse for cowardice.
"Enough!"
Tang San slammed his hand on the table, unleashing a surge of divine power that instantly reduced the sturdy desk to dust.
He abruptly stood up, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone.
"Have you all been scared out of your wits by that Tang Chen?"
"With Tang Chen at the Spirit Hall, going there now would be suicide! Don't you understand that?"
"That's precisely why we need to find a different path!"
"Once I absorb the soul ring and soul bone of that Evil Eye Tyrant, my strength will surely leap forward again! At that time, my dual godhood power will be completely fused, and even if a true god-king descends, I will have the power to fight!"
"By then, what will Tang Chen be?!"
Tang San became more and more excited as he spoke, and a morbid fanaticism appeared on his face.
"This is our only chance! A chance to turn defeat into victory and reach the summit!"
"Who among you dares to back down again?!"
Its divine power is like a prison.
The auras of the Sea God and the Asura God intertwined, making it difficult for everyone inside the tent to breathe.
Looking at Tang San, who seemed to have gone mad, they felt a chill of unfamiliarity creep into their hearts.
Is this still the mistress they know?
In the end, under Tang San's almost coercive gaze, no one dared to voice any objection.
And so the plan was set.
...
at the same time.
Jialing Pass, atop the city gate tower.
Bibi Dong's purple eyes gazed in the direction where the Heaven Dou army had retreated, where Tang San's aura was gathering, seemingly preparing for a long journey.
Her gaze was deep, and no one knew what she was thinking.
A moment later, she turned around and looked at the white-clad figure not far away.
Tang Chen and Qian Renxue stood side by side, talking in hushed tones. The atmosphere was warm and peaceful, completely out of place in this Iron Blood Pass that had just experienced a great battle.
"Your man is very strong."
Bibi Dong's voice echoed softly.
Qian Renxue looked at her mother, her golden eyes filled with complex emotions, nodded, and remained silent.
"So strong...it makes me uneasy."
Bibi Dong took a step forward and slowly walked towards Tang Chen.
As she approached, a purplish-black Rakshasa divine power, like a tide, silently spread towards Tang Chen.
This is not an attack, but a probe.
A kind of exploration of unknown and powerful beings, originating from the instinct of the gods.
The power of the Rakshasa is filled with a sinister, evil, and corrupt aura, enough to corrupt any sacred thing.
However, when this force approached within three feet of Tang Chen, it was like spring snow meeting the blazing sun; it melted away quietly without causing any ripples, returning to nothingness.
It was as if an absolute realm existed there.
Invulnerable to all laws.
Bibi Dong stopped walking.
Her pupils contracted slightly.
She saw Tang Chen's eyes.
The other person never looked at her once; their gaze remained tenderly fixed on Qian Renxue's face.
But Bibi Dong could clearly feel a thought locking onto her.
That wasn't murderous intent, nor was it a warning.
Rather, it's a kind of...disregard.
A kind of pure, life-level indifference, like a dragon looking down at ants.
Under such indifference, her proud Rakshasa divine power and her dignity as a deity seemed like a joke.
Bibi Dong's heart sank.
Just who is this man?
He is no ordinary deity!
Even more terrifying than any god she knew!
"Tang San, we're going to the Sun Moon Empire."
Bibi Dong withdrew her divine power, her voice returning to calm, as if the previous probing had never happened.
Tang Chen then slowly turned his head and glanced at her.
"Um."
Bibi Dong gave him a deep look and continued:
"The Star Dou Great Forest is not simple."
"The black dragon named Di Tian on the Heavenly Dao Golden List is probably no less powerful than a first-level god."
"And the existence that can make the Emperor submit will only become stronger."
"The Soul Beast lineage has been dormant for too long, and no one knows how many trump cards they have hidden."
"The Golden List has not yet been finalized, and there are too many variables. It is not a good time to start a full-scale war with the Soul Beast lineage."
Her words were loaded with meaning.
It is both an analysis of the situation and a statement of one's own attitude.
Before fully understanding the world's true intentions, she, the Rakshasa Goddess Bibi Dong, chose to remain inactive.
"So, you want to let Tang San go and get that million-year soul ring?"
Qian Renxue frowned.
If Tang San succeeds, his strength will reach an extremely terrifying level.
Bibi Dong's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Let him go."
"Let him go and scout ahead."
"That Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler is no pushover either. Wouldn't it be better if they fought to a standstill?"
"Whatever the outcome, it won't do us any harm."
After saying that, she didn't linger. With a flash, she disappeared from the city wall.
The empress of the Spirit Empire had already made her decision.
Before the final battle arrives, remain patient and observe.
...
Several days later.
Empire of the Sun and Moon, Demonic Forest.
This vast forest, shrouded in gray-green miasma year-round, is a forbidden zone for humans but a paradise for spirit beasts.
Today, a group of uninvited guests have arrived here.
Tang San and his group from Shrek Academy appeared in the sky above the forest.
"This is it."
Tang San hovered in the air, his Sea God power spreading out, sensing everything below.
He quickly identified an extremely large and chaotic spiritual energy.
That energy was filled with an aura of violence and destruction; it belonged to the Evil Eye Tyrant, who had just been promoted to demigod and whose power was not yet stable!
"Found it!"
A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"Wait for me here, I'll be right back!"
He gave a brief instruction, then transformed into a streak of blue light and swooped down toward the source of that aura!
"boom--!"
In the heart of the Demon Forest, the earth suddenly exploded.
A giant eyeball, over a kilometer in diameter, burst from the ground and shot into the sky!
It is none other than the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler!
At this moment, its aura is more than ten times stronger than it appeared in the Golden List image!
Beams of gray-green destructive light shot out from its pupils, tearing cracks in the sky.
It's venting!
He was releasing the uncontrollable power that had surged within him!
"You beast, your death is near!"
A loud shout, like a thunderclap from the heavens.
Tang San, wielding the Trident of the Sea God, descended from the sky, his golden divine light illuminating the entire dark forest.
"Humans? Gods?"
The Evil Eye Tyrant's enormous eyeball turned towards Tang San, and a massive spiritual force was transmitted outwards.
"Get out of my territory!"
"Otherwise, die!"
Its ascension to demigod status greatly inflated its confidence.
