When Tang San ascended to become the new Sea God, Xiao Wu also benefited.
Besides a significant increase in her soul power, she received a divinely bestowed soul ring, propelling her from the peak of Soul Douluo to Titled Douluo.
Immediately afterward, Tang San attempted to inject a wisp of Asura God power into Xiao Wu's body.
As Xiao Wu fully absorbed the Asura God power, a dark red light suddenly streaked across from afar, the Asura Sword, an ultra divine weapon symbolizing the Asura God's inheritance.
Although Lin Mu possessed the Asura Armor, the Asura Sword showed no reaction to him.
After all, while the Asura God was the supreme law enforcement god-king, the power he wielded was killing intent, not strictly speaking the strongest aura.
The Asura Armor's attribute was "law," which could only unleash its full power with the strongest aura.
Therefore, even if Lin Mu was qualified to inherit the Asura God's position, it would only be a new power, and the two were unrelated.
Moreover, he only had one martial soul, and the Asura God couldn't openly compete with the God of Destruction for the successor.
Therefore, he could only hide the Asura God power within Tang San's second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.
Now that Tang San's Deathgod Domain has transformed into the Asura Domain, it means the Asura God has recognized him as his successor.
Therefore, Lin Mu is confident that Xiao Wu can become the scabbard of the Asura Sword.
Even if the plan goes wrong, he can use the Asura Armor to travel back in time.
From an outsider's perspective, Xiao Wu becoming the scabbard of the Asura Sword, while ostensibly bearing the title of the Asura God, is essentially just a tool.
However, this is unavoidable.
With Xiao Wu's talent and strength, she can at most inherit the position of a second-class god, and given her playful and mischievous nature, whether she can pass the trial is uncertain.
Furthermore, a second-class god must acknowledge her soul beast identity; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.
Therefore, it might not be so bad for Xiao Wu to become the scabbard of the Asura Demon Sword, allowing her to share the Asura Godhood with Tang San.
Although most of the power would be in Tang San's hands, it was still better than not being able to become a god at all.
Soon, the Asura Demon Sword flew to Xiao Wu, transforming into nine dark red streams of energy that flowed into her body from different locations.
The next moment, a layer of dark red demonic patterns appeared on Xiao Wu's originally fair and delicate skin. These patterns weren't etched onto her skin, but rather a layer of energy suspended on the surface.
This energy contained an extremely terrifying killing intent, even affecting Lin Mu and Tang San slightly.
"Master, is this really alright?" Tang San asked with slight worry.
Lin Mu patted his shoulder, reassuring him, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
As soon as he finished speaking, all nine streams of energy had entered Xiao Wu's body, and the dark red demonic patterns gradually faded, appearing unchanged.
Seeing Xiao Wu's body return to normal, Tang San immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Wu, how are you feeling?"
"Brother, I'm fine. I just feel these air currents are very cool, but I don't feel anything special."
Xiao Wu shook her head, looking blank.
"That's normal. The Asura God hasn't chosen you as his successor. Perhaps at some point, you two will be able to inherit the Asura God's position together."
Lin Mu said calmly.
Hearing this, Tang San frowned slightly. What exactly did this Asura God want?
After a moment, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his resentment, and turned to Lin Mu to ask, "Master, what will happen to Sea God Island after we leave?"
"Little San, since you have already advanced to become the new Sea God, you certainly won't be looking for a successor for the next ten thousand years. Sea God Island has no need to exist for the time being."
"Although Sea God Island is the place where the Sea God inherits his legacy, it confines soul masters to an island. Even the High Priest and the Seven Sacred Pillar Titled Douluos cannot leave Sea God Island."
"It's more like a prison!"
"Therefore, I plan to merge Sea God Island into the Elemental Academy. From now on, the strongest members of the Elemental Academy will be in charge of managing Sea God Island, without restricting the freedom of the Sea God Island soul masters."
Lin Mu had already thought of this plan. Regardless of the reasons of the first generation Sea God, his control over Sea God Island was too strict.
To put it nicely, the Sea God Island soul masters enjoyed the Sea God's protection.
But if you think about it more deeply, these Sea God Island soul masters were more like being kept by the Sea God. Although they received some blessings, they were trapped on the island and had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Sea God Island.
Of course, this was their own choice, and they should bear the consequences.
But from an objective point of view, the Sea God interfered too much, even interfering in human affairs multiple times. In this respect alone, he was inferior to the Angel God.
Now that Tang San has become the new Sea God, these rules should naturally be abolished, otherwise Yu Tianheng and the others will be trapped on Sea God Island.
After listening to Lin Mu's detailed explanation, Tang San nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Master, you're right. This rule is indeed somewhat unreasonable. I'll give the order right away."
Lin Mu had no ulterior motives regarding this plan.
Although he founded the Elemental Academy, he didn't force students to join the Wuji Sect after graduation, especially since he rarely managed the sect.
Undeniably, he initially created the Elemental Academy to create his own godhood.
However, he no longer needed it.
Even if he was confident in creating his own godhood, he only had one martial soul, and the God Realm wouldn't allow one person to possess two godhoods.
After all, Tang San's situation was a special case.
Unless Lin Mu found a suitable vessel, he would have to give up one of his godhoods.
However, Qian Renxue and Ye Lingling already had divine inheritances, and only Ah Yin barely met the requirement, but Lin Mu didn't intend to do that; it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Since he could already inherit the God of Destruction's godhood, risking creating another one was simply not worthwhile.
Moreover, he already possessed the Asura Summoning Device. As long as he raised his cultivation level, he would naturally become invincible in this world, and could even travel to other worlds with it.
The only problem was his duty as a God King.
Soon, under Tang San's arrangement, the Seven Sacred Pillar Titled Douluos began to dismiss the Sea God Island soul masters. Those soul masters willing to continue serving were sent to the Vast Sea City of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Only a small number of soul masters remained on Sea God Island; they refused to leave no matter what.
"Your Excellency Lin Mu, why are you dismissing Sea God Island?" the Sea Witch asked, puzzled.
Unable to stay away from the sea for long, she didn't go to handle matters like the other Sacred Pillar Douluos, but instead found Lin Mu on the beach.
Lin Mu glanced at her and said indifferently, "Didn't you think guarding the Sacred Pillars was boring?"
"How did you know?" the Sea Witch blinked her big eyes.
"It goes without saying, it's written all over your face. Not just you, everyone else feels the same way, they just don't dare to resist."
As he spoke, Lin Mu opened his panel.
"Asura Armor, combine!"
The moment the Asura Armor covered his entire body, he instantly upgraded to Hell-Faced Asura Armor.
