Chapter 41: Secret?
Yu Xiaogang's face tightened slightly. Since Little San brought this up, it must be related to Mo Bai's goal.
But the Goddess of the Moon appeared only after Little San and Xiao Wu, so how could this be possible?!
Could it be that Mo Bai can see the future?
Gods—he had seen them in the Spirit Hall archives. "Reaching Rank 100 to become a God" was not just a rumor circulating on the continent, but something that truly existed.
However, the archives mentioned nothing about how gods came to be or how to become one. Even he only knew of the saying "Reaching Rank 100 to become a God," and after telling Tang San what he knew...
Tang San heard this and murmured with his head lowered: "Reaching Rank 100 to become a God..."
But what could this represent? Even if this legend were True, what did it have to do with Brother Mo Bai's goal?
Besides, were gods actually people too?
Why did Brother Mo Bai emphasize to him again and again that the Goddess of the Moon was True?
With these questions in his heart, Tang San slowly looked up at his teacher. Besides, how could he confirm whether what his teacher said was True or false? After all, compared to the teacher's various previous conclusions, the accuracy rate was not high.
So, in the end, the teacher still couldn't completely resolve his doubts. Tang San sighed slightly in his heart, I'll go ask Brother Mo Bai tomorrow. Anyway, things should be over, and Sister A Yin shouldn't stop Brother Mo Bai from telling the truth about this matter anymore.
Seeing that Tang San was no longer struggling with the Domain he didn't understand, Yu Xiaogang also silently breathed a sigh of relief. If Little San continued to ask about gods, he really wouldn't be able to explain it and could only offer guesses. But guesses were just guesses after all, and the accuracy rate was not high.
If he were exposed for being wrong in the future, the image he had worked so hard to build would be ruined.
"Go back and rest, Little San. There is other knowledge to learn tomorrow, and the tasks are heavy; you cannot be slack in the slightest."
Yu Xiaogang advised him with gentle encouragement. It seemed it wasn't the reason he was worried about, which was good.
Tang San withdrew his thoughtful gaze and nodded in response: "Yes, Teacher."
...
On the third day, Tang San arrived at Mo Bai's dormitory as scheduled. After chatting as usual for a while, Tang San could not suppress his curiosity and was the first to bring up his doubts—Reaching Rank 100 to become a God.
He had thought about these words for half the night. Cultivation methods on the Douluo Continent were all determined by Soul Power Rank, but Rank 100 after reaching Rank 99 Titled Douluo...
Perhaps that was the legendary god. But if it were just that, how could a "legend" become a legend? It should have become common knowledge.
There must be a reason he didn't know about.
"Reaching Rank 100 to become a God, huh..."
Mo Bai showed an expression of relief, looking directly at Tang San's confused gaze. "Little San, you finally asked."
"Brother Mo Bai, is there some special reason for this?" Tang San took the opportunity to raise his inner doubts.
Mo Bai nodded happily: "You probably guessed it too. 'Reaching Rank 100 to become a God' literally means cultivating to Rank 100 to become a God. But in reality, there is a chasm-like gap between Rank 99 and Rank 100. It is not something an ordinary person can easily Cultivate, and becoming a God is not that easy."
"How so?" Tang San's expression shifted.
"There are only two generally accepted ways to become a God on the continent. First, becoming a God through faith, gathering the faith of all living beings to become a God. Second, inheriting a God Position—inheriting a God Position through God trials."
"Faith? Inheritance?" Tang San murmured.
Mo Bai continued: "The closest God Position legacies to us in this World are the Angel God of the Qian Family, which has been passed down by Spirit Hall, and the Sea God, who became a God through faith on the overseas Sea God Island."
"Spirit Hall!?" Tang San was startled. He didn't know what Sea God Island was, but Spirit Hall was a major power seen everywhere on the continent, and it was also the teacher's main source of intelligence.
The teacher was right this time, but what was even more correct was Spirit Hall, the power that possessed the God Position Legacy.
"It is because of the appearance of gods that the power's Legacy has been guaranteed for thousands of years."
Mo Bai spoke in a tone that was both sighing and hinting, and then continued, "And besides these two, there are other gods hidden on the continent who are little known but have left behind legacies, such as the Goddess of the Moon, the Rakshasa God, the Asura God, and so on."
"The Goddess of the Moon!?"
Tang San blurted out subconsciously. He was no fool. Brother Mo Bai had made it so clear; gods leave behind legacies, and Brother Mo Bai's goal was obvious—the Goddess of the Moon's Legacy!
"Now you should understand why I emphasized the matter of the Goddess of the Moon before, right?"
Mo Bai gave an encouraging look.
"god position inheritance!"
Tang San's breathing paused slightly.
"That's right, a God Position! Something far more important than Soul Rings and Soul Bones! Unfortunately, the inheritors of God Positions are chosen by the gods themselves, and it is difficult for external forces to interfere. The appearance of the Goddess of the Moon during that time was precisely to select an inheritor for her God Position."
Mo Bai paused, then sighed heavily, "At first, I had high expectations for you, Little San, but unfortunately..."
Mentioning this, Tang San recalled his attitude toward the "Goddess of the Moon" at that time; there was almost no reverence at all, so how could he have seen the True face of the Goddess of the Moon? Not to mention obtaining a God Position.
He had wasted Brother Mo Bai's reminder in vain.
Tang San looked at Mo Bai's face, a flash of guilt appearing in his heart, but he still had doubts. Since it involved a God Position more important than Soul Rings and Soul Bones, why was there almost no news from the outside?
With news of a god appearing, why weren't strangers flooding into Notting City to fight for the qualifications for a God Position?
"Little San, don't underestimate me."
Mo Bai raised a mysterious smile and pointed to his own eyes at the same time, "Why was I able to arrive here in advance? Preparing everything and raising my reputation was naturally for the descent of the Goddess of the Moon."
In advance... Right, why was Brother Mo Bai able to know this in advance? In advance... In advance...
A flash of inspiration crossed Tang San's mind, his pupils constricted, and he immediately had a bold idea—that pair of eyes can see the future!
Seeming to know what Tang San was thinking, Mo Bai smiled mysteriously without clarifying, and continued:
"And it's not just me preparing; my Family is also preparing. Any news about the descent of the Goddess of the Moon or strange occurrences has been intercepted by my Family outside Notting City, just to make it easier for people from my Family to receive the Goddess of the Moon's favor."
"Is... is that so?" Tang San was slightly stunned and hesitated. So Brother Mo Bai's Family had done so many things. He had not left Notting City and did not know about the operations involved.
But in his mind, he couldn't help but recall that the teacher's letters during that time had also been clearly under Brother Mo Bai's control.
A Family at least at the Spirit Saint level would not find it difficult to blockade a remote small city.
Everything seemed to make sense.
It turned out that he had long been unknowingly drawn into the plan of Brother Mo Bai and his Family to obtain a God Position!
Then now...
The news of the Goddess of the Moon had faded, and the flow of people in Notting City was beginning to move outward. Did this mean that Brother Mo Bai's Family had given up the blockade? And the reason for giving up the blockade...
Could it be that Brother Mo Bai's Family had already obtained the so-called God Position!? Thinking of this, Tang San's eyes burned with heat.
