#1002 - Promise with Tang Chen

"There is someone waiting for me to return."

"Although I haven't fulfilled my promise to her, I now realize that it was all in vain. I regret wasting so much time. I owe her far too much, and I long to see her."

This towering old man, at this moment, wept like a repentant child, begging the goddess before him for his only request.

For this, he was even willing to abandon everything he had accumulated, even his godhood.

The goddess's gaze towards Tang Chen softened, no longer filled with mere vigilance and scrutiny.

She slightly curved her lips and transmitted a thought: "The person Senior speaks of must be the High Priest of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi!"

Hearing the name he had dreamed of, the sorrowful Tang Chen stared wide-eyed at the goddess.

"You know her?"

The goddess smiled slightly and continued, "We have known each other spiritually for a long time, but have never met in person."

"However, sending you back to Sea God Island is not a difficult task, but is Senior certain about giving up this hard-earned godhood?"

An excited look appeared on Tang Chen's face.

"I'm certain, very certain."

"To be honest, without removing the evil thoughts of the Rakshasa God, this godhood is like a poisoned candy to me."

"But you are different. Since you can so easily subdue this inherited artifact left behind by the Asura God, the Asura Demon Sword, you can surely easily solve the problem of the evil thoughts within."

"So, using the godhood as an exchange is not a loss for me."

Tang Chen was more straightforward than expected, or rather, with his cultivation and status, he already disdained lying.

The goddess heard his answer, and his truthful words without lies increased her trust in him.

However, precisely because of this, Quan Yi and Huowu within the goddess had more to consider.

"In that case, we can't directly use the Tyrant Domain to control him."

"What should we do next?"

In the world of accelerated thinking, Huowu revealed their original explosive plan as soon as she spoke.

If they determined that the King of Slaughter was an evil existence, they planned to directly control his soul, and then, through the King of Slaughter, carry out matters they could not directly intervene in.

But now, the King of Slaughter was revealed to be Tang Chen, influenced by evil thoughts. In this way, things became even more complicated.

After all, the Tyrant Domain cannot be abused at will.

According to Tang Chen's revelation, the inheritance of the Asura God's godhood was carried out through a free-range method.

As long as one obtains the Slaughter God Domain through the City of Slaughter, that person will automatically become a candidate to inherit the Asura God's position.

And as for who will finally obtain the godhood, it depends on how they fight for it themselves.

In this series of information, the most noteworthy point is that the Slaughter God Domain, which is directly connected to the Asura God, needs to be engraved on oneself.

This is almost equivalent to imprinting the enemy's rhino seal on oneself.

The Heart of the Sea God is at least an external object that can be sealed independently.

It would be difficult to deal with this domain skill that has been integrated into one's own body.

Before determining the Asura God's specific attitude towards them, doing so would be completely asking for trouble.

Seeing Quan Yi fall into deep thought, Huowu stopped disturbing him.

But soon, she noticed Quan Yi's expression relax, and knew that he must have had his own idea.

"How is it? Have you thought about what to do?"

Quan Yi said with a smile: "Well, although we don't need this godhood, it doesn't mean we can't make good use of it, or rather, the inheritance of the godhood."

Seeing his malicious smile, Huowu knew that Quan Yi must have a plan, and influenced by him, a similar smile naturally appeared on her face as well.

Resuming accelerated thinking, the goddess fixed her gaze on Tang Chen and transmitted a thought: "We understand Senior's intentions, but we must refuse this request."

Tang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his excited heart directly fell into an icy valley.

However, the goddess's next words brought that heart from the bottom of the valley to the clouds.

"We are not interested in the godhood. Compared to the godhood, we are more interested in Senior."

The goddess's expression became slightly more human-like. While Tang Chen was shocked by this sentence, he saw the cunning smile at the corner of the goddess's mouth.

"You, what are you going to do to me?"

Tang Chen stared at the goddess with a wary gaze, like a young girl being targeted by a rogue.

The goddess no longer beat around the bush and directly stated: "I plan to return this Asura God's test to Senior."

"Of course, we can also help you solve the attached evil thoughts and this Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King."

"Senior only needs to continue to accept the normal god test and strive to obtain the inheritance of the Asura God."

Tang Chen carefully considered the meaning of this sentence. He understood that there was no such thing as unprovoked goodwill in this world.

Behind the return of the godhood, there must be a greater scheme hidden.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

With Tang Chen's own views, he could not understand the goddess's behavioral logic.

But in the current situation, he couldn't do it even if he didn't want to accept it.

Seeing that the other party felt uneasy, the goddess said seriously: "What we are doing now is both an investment in the future gods and an insurance policy for ourselves."

"Senior, in exchange, we want to form a formal alliance with you."

Tang Chen finally saw a corner of the goddess's mind.

Knowing that the other party had something to ask for, he felt more at ease.

He quickly adjusted his mentality, stared deeply into the goddess's unfathomable eyes, and smiled bitterly:

"Since you two have placed such high expectations on me, then I must work hard to meet your expectations."

"However, my body has been almost devoured by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King."

"If I accept the god test again, my body will not be able to withstand it first, let alone pass the god test."

Tang Chen really wanted to reach an agreement with the goddess, but his body could not withstand any more tossing.

To this, the goddess chuckled: "Although the origin of your body is severely depleted, it is not completely exhausted."

"I have the ability to restore you to your most perfect state. Senior doesn't need to worry about this."

"I was only worried that Senior would adopt a non-cooperative attitude after waking up, so I maintained the current state."

Tang Chen blinked his eyes, his mood somewhat turbulent.

How many times has this been reversed? He felt a little nauseous now.

He laughed silently, then reached out to the goddess and said:

"Although I don't know your true intentions, you saved my life and are going to help me continue to complete the god test, then you are Tang Chen's benefactors."

"For benefactors, I, Tang Chen, have always repaid kindness. In the future, as long as it does not violate my original intention, I can assist you two with any request."

"Alliance, no, this is my unilateral repayment of gratitude."
