"This is..."
"Pavilion Master Yun, why is there such intense life energy?"
Tong Yu frowned as he gazed at the towering green light pillar before him, sensing something extraordinary.
As a wielder of the five elemental attributes, his perception of various energies was exceptionally keen—this surging life force being no exception.
What astonished him was that this didn't seem like ordinary life energy. Even as an Ultimate Douluo, he had never encountered such overwhelming vitality.
This life force was so vigorous...
It felt like something beyond this world!
"This isn't ordinary life energy..."
"It's the Tidal of Life!"
Yun Ming took a deep breath, shaking his head with difficulty, his emotions far from calm. The Tidal of Life—how could it be the Tidal of Life?
As the Sea God Pavilion Master and a former participant in Devil Island's trials, he understood the situation here far better than Tong Yu, including the island's secrets.
Such as the Seven Old Devils, the origins of Devil Island, the formidable Destruction Divine Power, and the Power of Life that sustained the seven predecessors.
The Tidal of Life was a phenomenon that only appeared when the Destruction Divine Power on Devil Island was at its weakest, occurring roughly once every twenty years.
But the problem was...
The last Tidal of Life had happened less than five years ago!
Fifteen years—there was no way the Destruction Divine Power could weaken so quickly. It made no sense.
"Could this Tidal of Life..."
"Be because of Luo Chuan and the others?"
The thought flashed through Yun Ming's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. How could Luo Chuan possibly be responsible for this?
No matter how prodigious they were, they couldn't have achieved something like this.
In the distance, as the life energy from Devil Island continued to spread, the Sea Soul Beasts had already sensed its intensity and were gathering toward the source.
It wouldn't be long before the area was swarming with them.
"Tong Yu, prepare yourself."
"At a time like this, I must summon Luo Chuan and the others. We can't waste the resources of the Tidal of Life..."
Yun Ming spoke decisively. He knew full well that the life energy held even greater significance for the surrounding Sea Soul Beasts. But now...
This energy had to be reserved for his prodigies. Those Sea Soul Beasts wouldn't get a single share.
Yet just then, at the junction between the Small World and Devil Island, before the formation disk, several figures quietly emerged.
None other than Greed Old Demon, Tang Luochuan, Gu Yue, and Na'er.
"Senior Greed, Luo Chuan, you all..."
Seeing their sudden appearance, Yun Ming was momentarily stunned before breaking into a smile. It seemed Senior Greed had also sensed the Tidal of Life's energy.
As expected of a senior!
"Luo Chuan..."
Tong Yu's expression visibly stiffened at the sight of the other party. Even though Tang Luochuan wasn't paying him any attention, it didn't make things any easier.
He clearly wasn't ready to face him calmly yet—but now, he had no choice.
"Senior Yun Ming, Senior Tong Yu."
However, in the next moment, when Tang Luochuan called out their names, the last trace of hope in Tong Yu's heart vanished without a trace, leaving him with no choice but to nod in greeting.
"Senior, the Tidal of Life—"
Yun Ming wasted no time and immediately spoke up, intending to let the young boys and girls absorb the life energy for immense benefits.
"Yun Ming, we'll discuss matters later."
"Little friend Luo Chuan, the Tidal of Life has appeared, and the Power of Life remains here. I wonder if you—"
Yet, at this moment, Greed Old Demon barely spared him a glance, his gaze fixed firmly on Tang Luochuan before him.
He hadn't expected that the disturbance caused by this person would actually trigger the Tidal of Life to erupt ahead of time. As for why the other party sought the Power of Life, he could still understand—but surely this prodigy couldn't also have an affinity for the energy of the Power of Life, could he?
Beside him, Gu Yue and Na'er watched curiously, silently standing by, waiting to see what he would do.
"Senior, you'll find out soon enough."
Tang Luochuan shook his head with a smile, then locked his gaze onto the pillar of life before him, a contemplative gleam in his eyes.
As the pillar of life seemed to lock onto him in return, in the next instant, an overwhelming surge of energy, so dense it nearly overflowed, was abruptly drawn out and poured into his palm.
Simultaneously, the voice of the system echoed once more in his mind.
[Detected host receiving assistance from the Power of Life. Host is hereby granted the Inheritance of the God of Life. Includes but is not limited to: Godhood Inheritance of the God of Life, God of Life Set, 100% affinity with the God of Life...]
[The God of Life is one of the five law enforcers of the Divine Realm, one of the five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm, possessing the strongest life energy.]
[Godhood Inheritance available for activation: God of Life! Godhood Trial can only be initiated upon reaching seven soul rings.]
[Upon breaking through to level 99 and completing the God of Life Trial, with affinity reaching 100% (already achieved), host may ascend as the new God of Life.]
[Note: Possessing the recognition of the God of Life Inheritance will significantly increase the affinity of the other half with the God of Life Inheritance...]
[Host's currently available Godhood Inheritances: God of Angels, God of Life, God of Destruction, Dragon God.]
"The Inheritance of the God of Life... it's really mine."
Hearing the voice resounding in his mind, Tang Luochuan took a deep breath, looking at the warm green glow in his right hand. His mood was clearly excellent as he murmured to himself.
The Inheritance of the God of Life—also obtained!
And with 100% affinity, no less. This meant that even if his Martial Soul currently had no connection to life attributes, he could still easily become the God of Life after reaching level 100.
Just like the God of Destruction, one of the five Great God Kings!
"..."
Gu Yue fell silent. Would the God of Life, like the God of Destruction, also acknowledge her Luo Chuan?
But not long ago, he had merely been the Golden Dragon King! Among the God Kings who once besieged the Golden Dragon King, weren't the Gods of Life and Destruction included?
"Little friend Luo Chuan—"
Witnessing this scene, Greed Old Demon was utterly dumbfounded.
Even if he had boldly speculated that this person might have an affinity for the Power of Life, seeing it with his own eyes still left him utterly stunned!
No, is this something a human can possess? Affinity with Twin God-King Power, could it be...
"Little friend Luo Chuan."
"You couldn't possibly have a dual godhood inheritance, could you?"
Greed Old Demon widened his eyes, unable to resist transmitting his voice, his heart filled with both wariness and anticipation.
"Mmm..."
Tang Luochuan pondered for a moment before nodding without a hint of shame. He very much wanted to say that he wasn't just a quadruple inheritor...
After all, he actually had two more godhood inheritances.
"..."
"Whew!"
Upon receiving the confirmation, Greed Old Demon felt as if a great weight had been lifted, his eyes gleaming with a resolute light.
This is solid!
Whoever wants to stay on Devil Island can stay—from now on, the seven of them must follow this young friend Luo Chuan. Even if their survival time outside Devil Island is limited, so what!
"Wait a minute..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yun Ming stared blankly at the scene before him, his gaze fixed intently on Tang Luochuan's hands.
What was that?
A purple glow and a green glow!
From the way the Power of Life had gathered in his hands earlier, it wasn't hard to deduce that the other energy was undoubtedly its counterpart—Destruction Divine Power, another pinnacle divine energy.
The divine powers of the two God-Kings! And now, they had appeared so effortlessly in Luo Chuan's hands?
"Luo Chuan, what exactly happened in the Small World before..."
"And how did this Power of Life end up in your hands just like that?"
Yun Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath. He desperately wanted to know what these youngsters had experienced during their two days on Devil Island!
"..."
Beside him, even Tong Yu wore a pensive expression. At this point, how could he not recognize that these two energies were the legendary divine powers?
"Well, the seven seniors tested our mental endurance, and due to the innate affinity within me, I developed a strong receptiveness to the energies of Destruction and Life..."
"Thus, I also obtained god-level inheritances..."
Tang Luochuan smiled faintly and calmly recounted the previous events.
"So you're saying..."
"Not only did the three of you resist the mental domains of the seven seniors, but Luo Chuan even obtained a godhood inheritance?"
Yun Ming struggled to process the information, taking a heavy breath before exclaiming in astonishment.
An inheritance from the Divine Realm!
Both the God of Life and the God of Destruction were recorded as among the mightiest deities in the Divine Realm. Even if the books left by Ancestor Tang San mentioned that these two were not exactly benevolent...
The previous deities' nature had nothing to do with Luo Chuan!
Becoming a god—as long as that could be achieved, as long as it wasn't something as malevolent as the God of Slaughter, he could accept it.
Call him hypocritical if you will, but the past was the past, and the present was the present. The gods of old were the gods of old. All he needed to know was that Luo Chuan had obtained the inheritances of the two most powerful gods in the Divine Realm!
"Senior Yun Ming."
"Not one, but two."
"This is a Twin God-King Inheritance."
Tang Luochuan shook his head with a smile, gesturing for the other to look at the two distinct energies in his hands.
One of Destruction, one of Life.
Wasn't this clearly the inheritance of two godhoods?
"..."
Yun Ming fell silent. Or rather, at this moment, he was truly speechless.
Under the gaze of Tang Luochuan and the others, he slowly turned around and then punched himself hard. The pain was real.
Which meant all of this was real!
"Godking inheritances!"
"And two of them!"
Yun Ming took a deep breath and murmured.
Among the Five Godkings, even Tang San—the true strongest of the Douluo Continent—only held the Godhood of Asura as his Godking position. Didn't this mean...
Luo Chuan had even surpassed Tang San?
A thoughtful expression crossed Yun Ming's face, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Ha! Their Luo Chuan had the potential to surpass a Godking!
————————
Tang Luochuan: Surpass Tang San? Who wants to surpass him anyway!
