Tang San slowly looked toward the distant mainland.A cold light flickered within his eyes.
One year ago, after escaping from the continent, he had immediately headed toward Sea God Island.
However, unlike the memories of his previous life, the circumstances this time had been vastly different.
The moment he arrived, Sea God Poseidon personally descended and granted him the Nine Trials of the Sea God.
Tang San had been ecstatic at the time.But before he could fully celebrate—A deep rumbling voice suddenly echoed across the island.
"Poseidon…He is my inheritor."
The owner of that voice was naturally Asura God King.
The pressure from the two divine beings shook the heavens above Sea God Island.
After several confrontations between the two gods, a compromise was ultimately reached.
Tang San would inherit both divine positions of Sea God and Asura God.
Although Tang San maintained a respectful appearance before both gods— Inwardly, he was laughing.
After all, this outcome perfectly matched his desires. The following year became a period of rapid growth.
Tang San continuously completed the trials issued by both gods.
With the knowledge from his future memories, many dangers that should have troubled him became trivial.
At critical moments, sudden inspiration would occasionally appear within his mind. Naturally, those "inspirations" were secretly provided by the hidden God King Tang San.
Thus, Tang San's progress became unbelievably smooth. His strength advanced at a terrifying pace.
Compared to the Tang San from the original timeline at the same point—The current him was far stronger.
Sea God and Asura God showed relative leniency on the other hand, because both of them had already sensed that Bibi Dong's strength on the mainland was increasing at an alarming speed. The pressure radiating from Spirit Hall had already spread across the continent, and even the divine senses of the two Gods could vaguely perceive the unstable aura of sins gathering around her.
Neither Poseidon nor Asura God wished to give Bibi Dong more time to grow.
Because of this, Tang San's trials proceeded far more smoothly than they normally should have. Whenever Tang San reached a bottleneck, invisible divine power would weaken the obstacle just enough for him to overcome it.
With the support of two God inheritances, Tang San's cultivation advanced at an unprecedented speed.
In only one year, he had stepped into the realm of Titled Douluo.
Both of his martial souls now possessed nine soul rings. The Clear Sky Hammer radiated a tyrannical pressure capable of shaking mountains, while the Blue Silver Prince evolved into Blue Silver Emperor as the two Gods forcefully used their divine power to make it evolve .
Tang San stood at the edge of the shore, his blue hair fluttering with the sea breeze as confidence filled his heart.
Even in the future memories he possessed, no one had ever reached such a terrifying level at his age.
His rise had completely surpassed the trajectory of his previous life.
Even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the million-year soul beast that should have cost him enormous effort, had fallen far more easily than expected. The battle that once bordered on death had instead become a one-sided suppression beneath the combined authority of Sea God and Asura God.
This time, even the torso bone containing the fragment of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's soul was unable to resist for long. Under Tang San's strengthened spiritual power and soul suppression, the lingering consciousness hidden inside was directly erased.
Tang San slowly clenched his fist as surging divine power flowed through his body.
"Perhaps after possessing the knowledge of the future, my training has become much more efficient," he thought calmly.
What Tang San failed to notice was that at the moment he absorbed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's torso bone, a virtual persona belonging to Qian Renxue which was hiding inside the whale had quietly slipped during the absorption process without alarming either Sea God or Asura God.
Today, after one year, Tang San had once again stepped onto the Douluo Continent.
This time, he had returned as the hope of all forces resisting Spirit Hall.
Behind him, Oscar's voice suddenly sounded.
"Third Brother, according to the information Brother Dai sent, the meeting location is beneath the cliff ahead. The entrance is hidden carefully, so ordinary people would never notice it."
Oscar's appearance had also changed greatly compared to the past. After becoming a Soul Emperor, his temperament had grown far steadier, though traces of his old carefree personality still remained.
At the side, Ning Rongrong nodded lightly.
"Well, Spirit Hall has become too dominant now. Their spies are everywhere across the continent. If we are careless, our tracks will immediately be exposed."
When she mentioned Spirit Hall, a trace of worry flashed through her beautiful eyes.
In just one year, Spirit Hall's influence had expanded to a terrifying degree. Countless sects had either submitted or been destroyed. Even the nobles who once looked down on Spirit Hall no longer dared to oppose them openly.
Tang San's expression remained calm.
"Hmm. Let's go."
This time, he had only brought Oscar and Ning Rongrong with him.
Xiao Wu had been left behind on Sea God Island. Although Tang San did not say it directly, everyone understood the reason. The current mainland was too dangerous. Xiao Wu's identity as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was already known, he did not want any fool to target her.
Tang San would not allow such a risk. The three silently advanced toward the designated location.
