Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 355: Finally Facing Tang San

The "he" that the God of Destruction referred to was, of course, our very own King Tang San.

Faced with such blunt words from the God of Destruction, Dugu Qianjue had an odd look in his eyes.

"Is it really that urgent?" After a moment of silence, Dugu Qianjue asked in a gloomy tone.

The God of Destruction, however, responded with absolute certainty, "Of course it is! You've already taken over my and Little Green's divine positions, so now I can finally lay down my responsibilities in the God Realm and go explore the universe with her."

"Besides, I want to have a child as soon as possible. How could I focus on that if we don't get rid of Tang San first?"

The Goddess of Life blushed, shyly hitting the God of Destruction.

"Aren't you embarrassed?!"

The Goddess of Life was overwhelmed with embarrassment. There were a bunch of younger gods watching, and such a conversation was too much to handle in front of them!

Seeing the couple so lovey-dovey, Dugu Qianjue was full of question marks.

Hmm... it really does seem quite urgent, doesn't it?

Turning his head to look at the others, Dugu Qianjue noticed that their eyes were also filled with anticipation, especially those who hated Tang San the most. They looked like they couldn't wait to jump up and hit Tang San in the knees right then and there.

Wait a minute. Why are Xue'er and Bi Ji getting involved too?!

In fact, the looks from Xue Linglong and Bi Ji made Dugu Qianjue feel even more uneasy.

"Husband, I want to have a child with you too…" Xue Linglong said with a shy face.

Bi Ji didn't say anything, but her eyes were firmly fixed on Dugu Qianjue, speaking volumes without words.

"Understood."

Dugu Qianjuerubbed his forehead and waved his hand. "Since everyone wants to get this over with quickly, then tomorrow it is. Tomorrow, we'll go face Tang San for the final battle!"

"Agreed!"

Everyone was more excited than Dugu Qianjue, who actually had a mission to fulfill. It was so intense that it was almost impossible to take.

...

The God of Destruction personally delivered the challenge letter.

Seeing how urgent he was, Dugu Qianjue couldn't help but think about asking, "Have you completely given up on developing the God Realm?"

And if he really had asked, the God of Destruction would most likely have answered: "What God Realm? Not interested. Family is way more important than work!"

(God of Destruction: Besides, didn't I already pass the divine responsibilities to you, the new era's Parlu? Young one, I believe in you. You can achieve things I couldn't!)

Meanwhile...

Tang San nearly exploded in rage when he received the challenge letter.

Now, we must ask: would the God of Destruction speak to Tang San civilly?

Of course not!

The so-called challenge letter was more like a death notice. The message was something like, "You little wretch, you're finished. Clean your neck and wait for death, because tomorrow we'll be coming to take your head!"

Could Tang San tolerate this?

So, in a fit of rage, he got... angry.

The truth is, he didn't have many good options. He had already gathered as many allies as he could, and no amount of persuasion would help with those who refused to join him. What could Tang San do?

If it weren't for Poseidon and the previous Asura God ghosting him, Tang San would have dragged them back too.

Even in such an unfavorable situation, Tang San remained confident.

He believed that only he was the true protagonist!

The God of Destruction? The God of Chaos? They were nothing but clay chickens and porcelain dogs!

No one knew where Tang San's confidence came from, but he was convinced that he would be the last one laughing, and nothing could possibly go wrong.

Of course, he wasn't completely idle. He had already shaken things up as much as he could, and that naturally included Ma Hongjun.

The Ma Hongjun who appeared before Tang San again showed no signs of change. He was still the same, carrying a hint of melancholy, silent and unsmiling.

Naturally, Tang San had no reason to suddenly suspect that something was wrong with Ma Hongjun.

After all, Dugu Qianjue had already stirred up a whole bunch of people against him. Surely, he hadn't managed to turn one of the dogs Tang San had raised for thousands of years against him, right?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

Tang San didn't believe Dugu Qianjue had that kind of ability. If he did, Tang San would eat the Sea God Trident he was holding right then and there!

...

Finally.

Under the watchful eyes of the masses, the day of the final battle arrived.

It really was under the watchful eyes of everyone, as this was a conflict between God Kings. Every god in the God Realm was paying close attention.

After all, such matters couldn't be completely hidden. There would always be some rumors spreading around.

So, even the gods who usually didn't care about worldly matters knew that Sea God/Asura God Tang San was going to have a final showdown with the God of Destruction and the newly ascended God of Chaos.

The God Realm had been dull for far too long, so long that these gods had almost forgotten what it felt like to witness a real battle.

Although they had no interest in participating in the conflict, their curiosity as bystanders was overwhelming.

Thirty-two primary gods were present, excluding the subordinates of the God of Destruction and Tang San. Rong Nianbing was among them, and beside him were the Seven Element Gods.

The seven emotions under the Emotion God's control were deeply intertwined with the Seven Element Gods' powers, so Rong Nianbing had a good relationship with them.

"Emotion God, do you know any insider information you can share with us?" asked the Fire God, the first to speak up, his strong face filled with a playful grin.

"I heard that the new law enforcer, the God of Chaos, came to see you. Maybe you know something we don't?"

Beside him, the Water God, his wife, looked at him in confusion. "How do you know the God of Chaos went to see the God of Emotions? Why didn't I know about this?"

The Fire God grinned. "Because you always stop me from going fishing! This news came from my fellow fishermen."

The Water God's eyebrows immediately shot up.

"You're in trouble now!"

As the Water God tugged on the Fire God's ear, he grimaced, but still kept signaling to Rong Nianbing (God of Emotions) with his eyes, urging him to share the "inside information."

"Honestly, I don't know much either. You'll see it unfold soon enough. When things escalate, the reason behind the conflict won't stay hidden for long." Rong Nianbing shook his head helplessly. He didn't mention his recent meetings with Ma Hongjun and Dugu Qianjue.

It wasn't necessary.

After all, he wasn't one to gossip or stir up trouble.

Hearing Rong Nianbing's response, the other elemental gods suppressed their curiosity and continued to wait for the main event.

Meanwhile, the gods who weren't even at the level of primary gods dared not ask any more questions. Instead, they whispered among themselves, trying to guess the truth behind everything.

Boom—

Boom!!

Columns of light shot up to the heavens, each one filled with the aura of a powerful god, even containing their divine laws.

Among them, four beams were especially thick: a grayish-white one representing Dugu Qianjue, a black-purple one for the God of Destruction, a bright green one for the Goddess of Life, and a blue-golden one for Tang San.

Even now, Tang San had yet to use his Asura God powers. Despite the fact that, due to Dugu Qianjue´s interference, the faith supporting Tang San's Sea God position had been completely severed, making his power barely equivalent to that of a primary god. In fact, it wasn't even stronger than Rong Nianbing's God of Emotions.

So, why was Tang San still using the Sea God's powers?

Dugu Qianjuewas perplexed.

But it didn't matter. Whatever schemes Tang San had, in the face of absolute power, they were nothing more than petty tricks.

"Hmph, Sea God! As a law enforcer, you've broken the law yourself, meddling in the mortal world at will. You are no longer fit to be the God Realm's enforcer!" the God of Destruction sneered.

Starting off strong, the God of Destruction immediately threw a huge accusation at Tang San.

But Tang San didn't respond. Although many already assumed he had interfered with the mortal world, there was no way he would admit it publicly.

When in doubt, blame it on the character setting.

Tang San kept a calm expression, no hint of malice in his eyes, even his voice had a touch of warmth. "God of Destruction, I know you've harbored resentment towards me because of the development of the God Realm, and that's why you question my actions."

"But you must believe that, as fellow enforcers, I care about the God Realm just as much as you do. We share the same duty, and it's best not to stir up unnecessary conflict between us."

"Peace is precious…"

The God of Destruction's face twisted, looking like he had swallowed a dead fly. He seemed like he was about to vomit at any moment.

"Ugh… You disgusting little worm, don't make me sick. Let me be clear: no matter how smooth-tongued you are today, you're dead!" The God of Destruction said with complete disdain.

Tang San's face darkened, a shadow flickered in his eyes, but he quickly restored his usual gentle expression and looked at the Goddess of Life.

Since the God of Destruction was impossible to sway, he thought, why not try to turn the Goddess of Life?

This woman was empathetic to a fault. If he played his cards right, he could surely convince her. After all, switching sides to join him was the only way for her to see the light!

But the God of Destruction anticipated Tang San's move. The moment Tang San's gaze landed on the Goddess of Life, the God of Destruction immediately stepped in, his massive frame blocking Tang San's line of sight.

The beautiful woman in the green dress was suddenly replaced by a burly man with a face full of scars. Tang San's face turned green.

What the—!

Defeated before the battle even started, Tang San didn't want to say another word to the God of Destruction. Instead, he turned to Dugu Qianjue, who had remained silent until now, and said quietly, "You must be the God of Chaos, right?"

"That's right, it's me." Dugu Qianjuesmiled slightly.

Tang San, we finally meet!

After decades of (crossed out) enjoying life (enduring), the final showdown was here. Once he took down Tang San, his last enemy, Dugu Qianjuecould finally relax!

At this moment, two "Extraterrestrial Demons" from different eras finally came face to face. One represented salvation, while the other was pure destruction and plunder.
