Chapter 217 You call yourself the Evil God King? I'd rather be Qin Shi Huang!
Jiang Nian snapped out of his daze and casually interrupted with an excuse.
The voice claiming to be a god suddenly popping into his head made him forget about telling the story.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay listlessly on the ground, waiting for Jiang Nian to finish.
Meanwhile, the five great god kings of the divine realm were still arguing. Evil, having insulted four of them, was slapped by Kindness before reluctantly attacking the other three.
Destruction suppressed a laugh, then his face stiffened.
"This kid actually didn't choose my godhood."
Life and Asura's expressions also changed slightly, because Jiang Nian had also rejected them.
Evil was about to mock him when a voice appeared in his head.
"Sorry, I won't accept yours either."
"???"
The five great god kings looked at each other strangely, wondering if Jiang Nian's brain had rusted.
People in the lower realm risked their lives to obtain a divine trial, and this kid had rejected all five of them?
Evil instantly became furious upon hearing this.
You see, he had been observing for so many days and had already considered Jiang Nian his successor.
And now, he was actually refusing?
"Kid, don't be so quick to refuse!"
"I am the Evil God King. If you choose me, you will surely become one of the five most influential figures in the God Realm."
Jiang Nian curled his lip and calmly said, "I am also Qin Shi Huang. I will appoint you as the General Who Conquers the North, guaranteeing your immortality and eternal life."
Evil: "???"
Jiang Nian rejected all the gods' offers as if deleting emails.
"What kind of gods are these... Great Love Kun God, Hehuan God..."
Soon, Jiang Nian's mind cleared considerably. It's better to rely on yourself than others. The upper limit of his inheritance was already locked. Although Evil and the others were indeed very strong, his ambitions lay elsewhere.
"Alright, I'll continue telling you the story of Sun Wukong being locked in the alchemy furnace and refined by Laozi."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up as it watched him finish, listening intently.
Perhaps this little ancestor didn't know how many divine inheritances Jiang Nian had just rejected.
In the God Realm, Evil and the others were puzzled when they learned that Jiang Nian didn't want to inherit their divine positions.
"Do you think he might want to cultivate himself into a god?"
Kindness's words silenced them. Destruction sighed helplessly and was the first to leave.
Life and Asura followed.
Soon, only the two of them remained.
Kindness looked at Evil's somewhat resentful eyes and gently patted his chest.
"That kid is indeed a bit strange, but his companions must also be geniuses, right?"
"You're right, there are a few... but I still like Jiang Nian. Not only is he as handsome as me, but he also received the inheritances of three Dragon Kings..."
"Without him, I really..." Evil sadly clutched his chest.
Kindness looked at him strangely, her grip tightening considerably.
"If you dare have such thoughts, watch out for Wanzi."
The woman snorted coldly, tossing her hair as she walked towards her palace.
Evil's face stiffened, realizing his words had been a bit off.
But he wasn't wrong!
That kid was perfect for inheriting his position!
"Damn it! I'll annoy you to death!"
"I don't believe you can resist the temptation of the Divine Trial."
"Hehehe~ Jiang Nian, you don't want to fail to find your ninth spirit ring, do you?"
Star Dou Great Forest.
Jiang Nian, who had just finished speaking, felt a chill run down her spine; something felt off.
"Keep going!" The auspicious beast glared at Jiang Nian, baring its teeth and looking resentful.
She hated people who piqued her interest only to stop talking; it felt like ants were crawling all over her!
It was like looking at study materials when the internet suddenly went down—so frustrating she wanted to smash her phone.
Jiang Nian calmly drank her water, completely ignoring the beast's command.
"I'll tell you next time. I have something important to ask you now," the three-eyed golden lion said, scratching its head with its paw, seemingly on the verge of a breakdown.
Three eyes stared at the man before him, and with a cold snort, it stood up arrogantly, its neck held high: "What is it?"
Jiang Nian didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Do you know if there are any 100,000-year-old spirit beasts with the Light attribute in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes widened: "Hmph! You want to harm us spirit beasts again?!"
Jiang Nian's brows furrowed: "Hey, don't you often hunt other spirit beasts too?"
"That's different!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's voice was neither male nor female, but it became increasingly soft and delicate, and Jiang Nian wasn't sure if he had misheard.
"Just tell me if you have any. If you provide me with information, I'll owe you a huge favor in the future."
The auspicious beast was silent for a moment, then shook its head: "There is one, but it's our friend, so I can't give it to you."
"There aren't any others in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"If you want a 100,000-year-old one, there's a Azure Bull Python and a Titan Giant Ape. I'll guide you."
Jiang Nian was surprised. He hadn't planned to have any hope, but unexpectedly, there really was one.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be a friend of the auspicious beast, which meant it was under the protection of Di Tian and the others.
He should be able to fight Di Tian to a draw now, but with other ferocious beasts around, he basically had no hope.
Besides, that soul beast must be very good at hiding.
Otherwise, he and Qian Renxue would have searched for months without even finding a trace of it.
"Alright, then I should leave the Star Dou Great Forest."
Jiang Nian rubbed his temples helplessly, pondering whether to go to the sea, the far north, or the Sun and Moon Continent to search?
Or should he accept the divine trial?
He was confident that he could accept two or even three divine positions at the same time.
By then, his power wouldn't be weak.
If he wanted to go all in, accepting all five divine positions wasn't out of the question.
"Ah? You...you're leaving?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at him anxiously.
"What? Reluctant to leave?" Jiang Nian asked with interest.
"Hmph! Who...who cares about you!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned its head away, its eyes somewhat uncertain.
The Crimson King, lurking in the shadows, sensed something was off about the little ancestor. It seemed that if Jiang Nian simply asked her to leave the Star Dou Great Forest together, she would eagerly follow him.
"Alright, since you don't care about me, I'll leave." Jiang Nian smiled and stood up to leave.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained arrogant, but her eyes kept glancing at him.
After walking nearly fifty meters, she finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Jiang Nian! Wait!"
In less than half a second, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion blocked his path.
"You...you don't leave yet!"
"I have something I'd like to ask you."
Jiang Nian smiled, not refusing.
"Okay, you go first, I'm not leaving now."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion blinked, feeling that this guy was doing it on purpose.
But she had no proof.
