After a long conversation with the Water God, that familiar System notification finally rang in Furina's mind again.
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully attracting the attention of Sea God Tang San, and also congratulations on gaining the favor of the God of Destruction, becoming one of the candidates for the position of the Goddess of Life."
Furina couldn't help but rub her forehead. "Forget the congratulations part. Is being targeted by Sea God Tang San considered a good thing? Who knows, before long, I might even forget who I am. My personality might be completely reshaped by his set of theories, and the Axis Cult I worked so hard to build might even end up being renamed to Tang Sect."
She recalled Tang San's various actions in The Peerless Tang Sect—after the Sun Moon Empire annexed the Heavenly Soul and Douling Empires, he actually made Orange change the national title to the Heaven Dou Empire, forcibly replicating the standoff between the two strong powers of Heaven Dou and Star Luo from ten thousand years ago. Furina really couldn't understand what the point of this was. To demonstrate his God King level control? To recreate the glory in his memory?
Well, she had to admit, this was indeed "very Tang San." As a God King, if he truly descended to the Douluo Continent, all the Spirit Masters on the entire continent combined probably couldn't withstand a single move from him. He certainly had the capital to be willful.
But what made Furina feel a deep sense of dread was that with Tang San causing such a huge commotion, the God of Destruction and other deities in the God Realm seemed completely unaware—or perhaps, was it tacit approval? Was it intentional indulgence? Or was it that when Tang San acted, he had already calculated the time flow of the God Realm? One day in the God Realm, one year in the mortal world.
He could easily take advantage of a moment of inattention from the God of Destruction to sneak down to the Lower Realm to make threats, and then quickly return to the God Realm. The entire process, from the perspective of the God Realm, probably wouldn't even take a minute.
"He really has a good plan..." Furina muttered to herself, her tone carrying a bit of helplessness, and also a hint of imperceptible sarcasm.
The System's voice sounded playful again: "Ehehe~"
"Oh, Host, don't be too anxious. Just as you analyzed, with your growth speed and connection to the Water God, being noticed by Sea God Tang San was only a matter of time, it was just a difference of sooner or later."
"Besides, aren't you now in the eyes of the God of Destruction? With this God King who is at odds with Tang San, you can consider yourself to have an extra amulet, so there's no need to be overly worried."
"Alright, let's get down to business, let's take stock of your gains this time."
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 200,000 points, a 50,000-year left arm Spirit Bone with the Ultimate Water attribute, and Soul Power and mental force cultivation speed permanently increased by two times."
"Additionally, due to... uh, network latency, here is a supplementary congratulation."
Furina raised an eyebrow, ruthlessly exposing it: "What the heck with the network latency! I think you just simply forgot to distribute the rewards!"
The System suddenly fell silent, as if it had been called out, and started playing dead.
Furina shook her head, too lazy to argue with this occasionally glitchy System. "Alright, enough with the banter, hurry up and bring out my rewards."
The System then returned to normal, continuing to announce in a serious tone: "Congratulations to the Host for successfully conquering the Tang Sect. Rewards: two each of Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, Pear Blossom Needle in Rainstorm, and King of Hell's Invitation. These top-tier Tang Sect Hidden Weaponss, you can choose to use them directly, or try to conduct reverse engineering research, perhaps you can have unexpected gains."
"Congratulations again to the Host for successfully recruiting three Geniuses: Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao. Rewards: one Emperor Polar Pill and one Dou Ling Pill each."
"Eh?" Furina noticed the omission in the list. "What about Bei Bei? Is he not included?"
The System simulated a shrugging motion and explained: "Unfortunately, not yet. You have not yet gained Bei Bei's sincere allegiance. Currently, his favor towards you is based more on his relationship with Tang Ya and his own stance as a member of the Tang Sect. In other words, you are currently just ordinary friends with a decent relationship."
