Chapter 308: Inheritance Illusion
Gold, gold, gold, everything is gold. The dazzling light made Tang San a little lost, he just felt that he was in a world made up of gold.
The sense of confusion and disorder gradually faded, the light and shadow floating in his eyes dissipated, and he found himself on a circular platform.
The platform was golden, with a hint of warmth, in front of it was an endless golden ocean, and the sky was also covered in gold. Through the changes in light and shadow, the beach in the distance could be barely identified.
He suddenly thought of the road to hell, which was quite similar to this place, except that one was an endless sea of blood, with killing and tyranny, and the other was a golden ocean, bright, vast, and great.
From the questioning that Poseidon interrupted him one after another just now, it seems that God cannot completely control his inheritance, or must follow certain rules and cannot act arbitrarily...
Where there are rules, there will be loopholes. If Amon's purpose is really to use me to seize the throne of God, then he may have some back-up plan... Tang San thought to himself.
Tang San focused his sight on the eight floating platforms diagonally upward from his own platform.
One platform represents a difficulty?
Just as he was thinking, layers of golden light like waves came over, solidifying his body.
Followed by a strong tearing feeling and severe pain, his eyes went dark, and a golden light flew out from behind and landed on a small platform floating in front of him.
It was the Eight Spider Lance, one of which was dismantled.
The energy that imprisoned Tang San disappeared, and a cold reminder sounded in his ears:
"Cannot stop the soul bone from being dismantled, cannot leave the two-meter range of the platform center, and cannot change the main body position of the dismantled soul bone!"
His soul bones were dismantled one by one, and every time he dismantled a piece, he had to face a test from the seven emotions.
When the left leg bone belonging to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was dismantled, a change occurred.
A middle-aged man with a simple face appeared in front of Tang San, staring at Tang San with a fierce look.
Tang San's face changed greatly. He still remembered the powerful enemy he had defeated with all his strength. When he saw him again, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you are not dead?" He held the Sea God Trident and stared at the other party.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King smiled sinisterly: "Of course I'm not dead. You underestimated my accumulation of soul power over a million years. Thanks to you, I was able to come to this place where the Sea God inherited... Isn't it desperate? The fruit that I got after so much hardship was taken away at the last moment?"
Tang San took a deep breath, and suddenly regained his composure, revealing a smile:
"No need to act anymore, it's useless to me. This is the place where the Sea God inherited. Do you really have the ability to destroy the inheritance? It's just an illusion... How can a soul be separated from the soul bone and reappear? What's more, there is the Sea God watching. I only need to abide by the rules to pass the test."
The sinister smile on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's face was restrained, and he looked at Tang San calmly.
He curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, took out a pair of monocles from the void, and embedded them in the right eye socket:
"Then I won't act anymore."
Boundless fear surged like a tide, as if to swallow Tang San and make him feel suffocated.
"Amon..." Tang San said in a very solemn tone: "Are you also an illusion?"
Amon adjusted his monocle to make it stuck in the most comfortable position:
"Haha, are you stupid? Everything you see is an illusion? How long do you want to deceive yourself?
"If I didn't have some confidence to replace you in the god-making ceremony, how could I push you to inherit the Sea God's throne.
"The soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is real, and I am real too..."
Tang San was a little unbelievable, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! The Sea God has obviously explored it."
The smile on Amon's face became even stronger, "Yes, he did explore it, and he found it... But he only found the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, not me...
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King itself is a test he specially left for his successor. After not finding the 'Time Worm' in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul ring, he was careless and relaxed his vigilance. He thought that I couldn't parasitize a super soul beast that had reached the peak of the lower god tens of thousands of years ago.
"But in fact, I can... Humans are such a species that are good at creating miracles... Just a few decades of cultivation can surpass the tens of thousands of years of hard work of soul beasts.
"So, I successfully sneaked in under the cover of the soul of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Okay, give up obediently and give me the throne of God.
"I can promise that when I get out, I will release your companions and your lover... If you want, I can also let you be my divine messenger... Let you rule the world on my behalf."
Amon's earnest persuasion made Tang San's heart move for a moment, but he still restrained himself and sneered:
"Hehe, if you can really seize the throne, you won't talk so much nonsense to me."
Amon spread his hands indifferently and chuckled: "Yes, even I can't easily seize the throne that almost recognizes you as the master.
"But fortunately, in order to allow you to inherit, its original owner temporarily gave up control of it, which gave me an opportunity...
"At this moment, the Sea God only maintains the necessary and minimum contact with it, so that the throne can be recovered in time after you fail to inherit.
“And you, the next Poseidon, have not yet completely passed the test… and your control over it is even worse.
"With your cooperation, I can easily get him. If you don't cooperate, it will only make me more troublesome and more likely to fail.
"No matter what, your inheritance ceremony will fail due to my interference... Everyone has only one chance to qualify for the inheritance of gods, and there is no chance of a second time. This is a rule...
"Even if you can stop my plot and sabotage my actions...you still can't become a god. Have you ever considered how I will retaliate against you if you fail to become a god and sabotage my actions?
"Are you capable of resisting, me, our revenge? Think of your partner, think of your lover... Compromise to me, you can get more."
I was almost moved by what I said... Tang San was silent, and finally shook his head firmly, and he smiled:
"Your words are indeed very seductive, but there is a flaw, and that is the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!
"You said that he also exists. If this is true, then he will definitely find ways to destroy the inheritance, but Poseidon has acquiesced in his entry.
"This means that he can't do it! He can't pose a threat to me in this inheritance place! Or maybe Poseidon has some back-ups...
"So the same, whether you are a real person or an illusion that appears during the inheritance test, you are subject to the restrictions of Poseidon Island just like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
The smile on Amon's face stagnated and then returned to normal: "Are you sure? You won't regret it?"
"Of course, I will never regret it!" Tang San said resolutely.
As he finished speaking, the golden ocean below suddenly surged, and a huge golden trident protruded from the sea water, piercing Amon's body and smashing him to pieces.
Endless majesty, indifferent and cold voice echoed in this golden world:
"Those who attempt to destroy the inheritance will be killed without mercy!"
"No..." A scream sounded.
It wasn't Amon's voice, but the voice of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
After his body was broken, he got rid of Amon's control, regained consciousness, and let out his last cry before death.
The broken soul turned into a stream of light and flew into Tang San's stripped left leg bone. The soul bone transformed into a wildly dancing little dragon. After a while, it regained its composure and transformed into the left leg bone again, floating quietly above the platform like the other soul bones.
Seeing this scene, a chill rushed from Tang San's spine to Tianling Gai, and he realized that the previous scene was not an illusion, but reality!
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is real, and so is Amon!
This is too scary, too weird... Amon actually controls the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?
No wonder we were able to escape smoothly when we first encountered that monster... because Amon didn't want us to die and needed me to obtain the Poseidon inheritance!
Tang San took a breath... Just now he really almost agreed to Amon's proposal and agreed to give up the position of Poseidon to him!
If he couldn't help but step outside the scope of this divine test, Amon might take his place in an instant!
But fortunately... I discovered the flaw in his words and shattered his conspiracy. Tang San cheered for himself in his heart.
The pain of peeling off the soul bone for the seventh time ensued. This time, it was his left arm soul bone that was peeled off.
The 300,000-year-old soul bone that was originally owned by his great-grandfather and was given to him by Bo Saixi. In addition to the left leg bone of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Eight Spider Spears that grew up with him, his quality The highest piece.
To Tang San's surprise, the pain of stripping off this time was not as severe as he imagined, and seemed relaxed and peaceful.
With a flash of light and shadow, everything around him became illusory, and he appeared in a new illusion.
There was a sea of people around, and there was a ring in the center, and another version of himself was standing on the ring, releasing four soul rings: two yellow, one purple, and one black.
Tang San in the ring was still very immature, but he was also beginning to show his heroic appearance. Opposite him were a group of equally immature boys and girls.
This is...the qualifying round for the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master academies? Is this the Heavenly Dou Spirit Arena?
A trace of doubt flashed in Tang San's heart... If he guessed correctly, this last level should test "desire", but how could it appear in the Tiandou Great Soul Fighting Arena?
Soon, he had the answer.
A beautiful woman with long red hair and a red dress appeared next to him. She was very beautiful, but also full of heroic spirit. Her whole body was like a flame, hot and wild.
It's Rock Ember!
She looked at herself on the stage with interest:
"Oh... the fourth soul ring is actually black like me, that's cool...
"Very good, I like you."
When she said this, she had already turned around and looked at Tang San in the audience.
"Hey hey... how about we do something for love? This should be fun..." She showed a somewhat naive smile and said to Tang San carelessly.
The surrounding environment was no longer the Tiandou Spirit Arena. The crowds of people disappeared and turned into the love hotel where he and Xiao Wu had been, the one where he and Dai Mubai had a fight.
Tang San's face was expressionless... Poseidon, this is how you test "desire" for me? Who can't withstand the test?
Yan Jin is indeed beautiful, but she can completely destroy the entire atmosphere as soon as she opens her mouth!
