Chapter 318 The Famous Sacrifice Scene
Finally, after a long and painful struggle!
Tang Chen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all that remained in his eyes was a thirst for power and a resolute determination.
"I choose..."
"Inherit the position of a first-level deity: the God of Ruthlessness!"
A single sentence was uttered.
The light of divine judgment descended instantly!
At the same time, the entire trial space suddenly went dark.
Not far away, Poseidon, who had just reached the eighth test, saw all of this clearly.
The expectation and tenderness on her face gradually froze and faded, leaving only a deathly silence of disappointment.
Those eyes, which were always gentle and firm, were now dull and lifeless.
She waited for Tang Chen for decades!
She had waited for decades, not for him to become a heartless and loveless god, but for someone who could truly stay with her.
Just then, the voice of divine judgment rang out mercilessly.
[Poseidon and Tang Chen, Trial of Fate: Confused and unbalanced, abandoning emotions for power]
Trial Result: Failure
[Punishment of Fate: The bonds of fate are greatly weakened, and the rifts in the relationship deepen. If they wish to stay together in this life, they will have to overcome countless difficulties and obstacles. The future of their relationship is full of unknowns, and there is no longer a destiny to guarantee a perfect ending!]
The sound faded.
The two figures were swept away by the light and sent directly out of the trial space, returning to the foot of the pink ancient tree.
Tang Chen had just regained consciousness when he instantly came to his senses.
The choice he made in the illusion just now exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.
He suddenly looked at Poseidon.
The woman stood not far away, her expression calm, but her eyes distant.
That disappointed look was like a knife, piercing his heart.
Tang Chen was filled with remorse.
Throughout his life, he toiled and wandered constantly in search of the opportunity to become a god.
But his deepest, truest desire was never for some heartless first-class deity!
Instead, after becoming a god, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Poseidon and lived together forever.
But just now, under the temptation of the illusion, he still wavered.
He chose power and abandoned her.
Failure to complete the trial will damage your marriage prospects.
More importantly, he left an indelible scar in Poseidon's heart.
"Cessie…I…"
Tang Chen opened his mouth, his voice dry, but he didn't know how to explain.
He knew that any explanation would seem futile.
It was he himself who, at the most crucial moment, was blinded by desire and made the worst choice.
Poseidon looked at him and gently shook her head.
There was no blame, no anger, only a faint weariness and a chill in my heart.
"No need to say anything more."
"I understand."
Four simple words, spoken lightly, yet they declared the relationship between the two.
For the first time, a true rift appeared in that century-old bond.
The sky projected all of this completely onto the Douluo Continent.
The outside world was filled with sighs of dismay.
"Alas... Tang Chen, in the end, still succumbed to his desire to become a god."
"After decades of waiting, this is the choice we get. How disappointed Poseidon must be."
"A seemingly perfect match has failed the trial, and their marriage is now uncertain..."
"..."
On Poseidon Island.
Countless believers of the sea god were filled with worry.
Inside the Haotian Sect, the elders shook their heads and sighed.
No one expected that this couple, who lived in legend, would fall so deeply in love.
In the space of destiny, the pink ancient tree sways gently.
Tang Chen watched Poseidon's retreating figure, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with regret and determination.
"Cesi".
"This time, I was wrong."
"But I assure you..."
"No matter what the cost, I will make up for the mistakes I made today."
"I will spend my whole life proving your feelings."
Poseidon did not turn back.
The wind gently blew her long hair, and also stirred the distance between them that had just appeared, yet seemed insurmountable.
"Boom boom boom!"
At that moment, the light in the sky began to move again.
The space for another pair of trial participants slowly opened.
This time, the couple that appears is extremely familiar to the entire continent: Tang San and Xiao Wu.
A beam of light swept across the sky, instantly pulling the two into their own destiny-bound illusion.
There was no temptation of divine status, no struggle for imperial power, and no powerful enemies from beyond the borders.
It only happens in the future.
...
The sky was gloomy, and a murderous aura permeated the air.
They were surrounded by a large number of powerful figures from the Spirit Hall, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exuding a sinister aura.
The aura of a titled Douluo enveloped the heavens and earth.
Xiao Wu's identity as a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Beast has been completely exposed.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, the Blue Silver Emperor spread wildly, and the Clear Sky Hammer trembled in his hand.
Even when facing several titled Douluo, he couldn't stop their overwhelming killing intent despite his best efforts.
They were cornered and surrounded by enemies.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, who was risking his life to protect her, tears streaming down her face, but her eyes were unusually gentle and firm.
She gently pushed Tang San away, her smile both poignant and resolute.
"Brother, I'm sorry..."
"This time, it's my turn to protect you."
Before the words were even finished, the essence of a 100,000-year-old soul beast erupted!
Golden sacrificial light shot into the sky, and Xiao Wu's body transformed into countless points of light!
They rushed towards Tang San without hesitation, ready to sacrifice their lives, souls, 100,000-year soul rings, and soul bones!
She sacrificed everything for the boy she loved most in her life.
"don't want!!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in anguish, reaching out to grab the light, but only grasping at empty air.
He would rather die himself than let Xiao Wu sacrifice herself!
In the illusion, he was heartbroken and utterly desperate.
But deep in his eyes, there was a will to protect Xiao Wu even at the cost of his life, and never to live alone.
But it was clearer and more resolute than ever before.
Xiao Wu's figure disappeared with a smile in the light.
Tang San knelt on the ground, clutching the last remaining warmth, tears streaming down his face.
[Trial Judgment: Faced with life and death, true feelings remain unchanged; one would rather give one's own life than save the other's; love is stronger than gold; destiny will not be betrayed]
[Trial Result: Perfect Completion!]
The illusion shattered with a crash.
Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to the Marriage Space. They looked at each other, embraced tightly, and tears silently streamed down their faces.
What just happened was too real, too painful, and it made us even more certain of each other!
I will never let you down in this lifetime.
The next moment, the voice of destiny resounded, carrying unprecedented tenderness and blessings, echoing throughout heaven and earth:
Tang San and Xiao Wu have successfully completed the Trial of Fate!
[Exclusive Ultimate Reward Arrives:]
[1. Xiao Wu completes her ultimate transformation ahead of schedule: she completely transforms into a humanoid Soul Master body, perfectly concealing her Soul Beast origin. From then on, she has no trace of Soul Beast aura left, and even Title Douluo and God-level powerhouses cannot see through her in the slightest, completely escaping her destiny of sacrifice!]
[2. Both of them have increased their soul power by three levels!]
