Chapter 216 Five God Kings Vie for the Divine Trial.
"Jiang Nian! Jiang Nian! I still want to hear that... that story called 'Journey to the West'!"
"Alright."
The auspicious beast lay on the ground, listening quietly to his narration, its eyes bright as snow.
The Crimson King also pricked up his ears to listen, finding it quite interesting.
He hadn't expected that the protagonist of this Journey to the West would actually be a soul beast, truly remarkable.
Over here.
Ning Rongrong had just finished absorbing her soul ring when she saw Chen Xin standing not far away, deep in thought.
"Grandpa Sword! I'm done!"
Chen Xin put away his thoughts, turning his head with a smile on his lips.
"Since Rongrong has finished absorbing, let's go out."
"Hmm! Grandpa Sword, what were you thinking about just now?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"A young man." Chen Xin shook his head, no longer dwelling on it. "Come on, Grandpa Sword will take you out."
Soon, the old man and the young man left the Star Dou Great Forest.
Chen Xin looked back again, planning to find a suitable time to personally visit and experience the swordsmanship of this holy son.
Also, the eighteen-year-old Title Douluo—this matter must be discussed with Jian Gutou and Feng Zhi upon returning.
Chen Xin glanced at Ning Rongrong beside her and suddenly felt that a marriage alliance between the two major powers might be a good thing.
However, this thought was quickly dismissed.
If a marriage alliance were to take place, wouldn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School become part of the Spirit Hall?
The two women flew away on their swords, intending to find a small town to rest.
"Hiss~ That's Sword Douluo and that little witch... How come we ran into them again?"
"Teacher, can we stay here for a few days?" Huo Wu asked; she didn't actually want to leave so soon.
After all, that was the man she had her eye on; if she didn't say a few words to him, she would inevitably feel a little empty inside.
"Fire Dance..."
"Feng Xiangtian, if you don't want to stay here, then leave now."
"..."
The masked man watched the departing girl helplessly.
Others came over and patted him on the shoulder, some encouraging, some laughing.
However, he didn't care.
As long as he silently stayed by Fire Dance's side, she would eventually feel his feelings!
After all, companionship is the deepest confession!
She didn't dislike him, she just wasn't sure of her own heart.
No matter what, he would watch over her!
He would keep watching!
"You all don't understand, her zodiac sign is slow to warm up, I have my own pace."
Feng Xiangtian tossed his hair, his eyes full of confidence.
"Sun Wukong was dissatisfied with the oppression of the Heavenly Court, so he proclaimed himself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, preparing to storm the Lingxiao Palace. Even the gods in heaven were terrified, even the Jade Emperor was so scared that he hid under the table trembling."
The auspicious beast and the Crimson King listened with great interest, wishing they were the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, speaking out for the world and breaking their own fate.
At this time, in the God Realm.
The evil god, who had originally intended to administer the divine test, was taken aback upon hearing this.
"The Heavenly Palace? The Heavenly Court? Gods?"
"Damn! This feels a bit like a mockery of us," Goodness said thoughtfully, pondering Jiang Nian's words.
Whether it was the Manifestation Saint True Lord or the Bodhi Elder, they both seemed far superior to these gods.
How could a mortal from the lower realm come up with such a powerful story?
"Wait! I'm here to administer the divine test, why am I listening to his nonsense for so long?"
Evil rubbed his temples, preparing to administer the test.
This was a prodigy he had observed for eighteen days, absolutely qualified to inherit his position!
"Evil, you're too late." Goodness blinked, smiling at him.
"Damn! How could you steal my thunder?!"
"Hmm?"
Evil swallowed the words he was about to utter; he didn't want to kneel on a washboard again…
"But I've descended too…"
"Then let the child choose for himself." Kindness smoothed her hair and continued looking down at the mortal realm.
Jiang Nian was talking about the exciting part, about how Sun Wukong cultivated his Fiery Eyes of Truth, when a voice suddenly popped into his mind.
"I am the God of Kindness in the Divine Realm. Seeing your exceptional talent, extraordinary comprehension, and upright character, I wish to initiate the Godly Trial for you. Upon completion, you can inherit my divine position."
"Jiang Nian, are you willing?"
Jiang Nian: "???"
Where did this voice come from?
I've completely forgotten about him!
"I am the God of Evil, just like Kindness. Are you willing to initiate the divine trial?"
"?"
Oh no, am I hallucinating?
"I am the God of Destruction…"
"I am the God of Life…"
"I am the God of Asura…"
"I am the God of Great Love…"
At this moment, not only was Jiang Nian stunned, but even Evil, who had been watching him intently for a long time, was also stunned.
Where did all these gods come from?
Damn it, I was the one who came first!
"Is this all intentional?!"
"What are Destruction, Life, and Asura doing?! Are they trying to steal my successor?!"
Kindness's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant. How could so many gods suddenly appear?
They've all taken a liking to Jiang Nian?
How is that possible?!
The other three gods were also stunned. They hadn't expected so many gods to be interested in this kid.
Soon, the five rulers of the divine realm gathered together, staring at each other.
Evil was the first to attack.
"What do you three mean?! I've been observing that kid since he was reincarnated!"
"Ahem... Evil, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be so hasty." Destruction smiled.
"I've been observing that kid for a long time too. I originally planned to put him through a divine trial as soon as he absorbed his soul ring, but who would have thought you'd beat me to it."
"You're talking nonsense! You're the one who stole my person!" Evil's face was almost red with anger.
"Life, don't tell me you've been observing him for a long time too."
The Goddess of Life smiled awkwardly: "You guessed right..."
Evil glared at Asura.
The latter turned around, looked up at the sky: "This child is destined for me."
"Bullshit! Didn't you already have someone to succeed you? Or someone who's opposed to this kid?!"
Shura's expression was a little unpleasant, but he still said calmly, "If there's a better candidate, I'll definitely fight for it."
The five of them argued fiercely. Other first-level gods wanted to sneak in a chance to take advantage, but were intimidated by evil and could only reluctantly withdraw.
Jiang Nian listened to the voice in his mind finally disappear, and his mood gradually calmed down.
It was just a story, why are so many gods fighting over it?
He didn't even have any Seventy-Two Transformations!
And this Shura God, wasn't he interested in this little punk?
Why is he coming after him again?
Jiang Nian thought for a moment and decided to ignore it.
He was already preparing to become a god himself, inheriting the godhood was just too low.
"Jiang Nian, continue, why did you stop?"
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't stop!"
The auspicious beast urged, Jiang Nian's interruption made her itchy all over.
