In the past, deep within the mountain ranges of the Tiandou Empire!
The soldiers, huddled around the campfire, were holding flasks of wine with a smile, chatting with each other...
Suddenly, one of them felt an eerie sensation of being watched from behind, as if a primordial behemoth had set its sights on him, prompting him to swiftly turn his head to look behind...
However, all he saw was the desolate rock wall, with nothing there!
Only then did he come to his senses, saying with some trepidation, "Why does it feel so sinister here? Could it be that there's something terrifying existing?"
The other soldiers, upon hearing this, mocked him mercilessly, "You really are a scaredy-cat, what could possibly be here? It's simply a desolate place where not even birds bother to poop, stop scaring yourself!"
"Exactly, exactly, we already scouted this mountain range this morning, and didn't even see a shadow of any living creature!"
"Hmph, if there were some terrifying presence here, then we wouldn't be eating dry rations for breakfast tomorrow, brothers, you agree, right?"
"That's right, that's right, folks, keep drinking, keep drinking!!"
The once somewhat heavy atmosphere once again livened up...
But, a few minutes later, the same soldier suddenly felt a creeping chill on his back...
He stood up as though jolted, exclaiming in terror, "No, something's not right, something really was watching me just now!!"
The other soldiers, seeing the sincere look of terror on his face, found the notion a bit too absurd!
The leading man furrowed his brows and reprimanded, "What a load of nonsense, well then, you few, come with me to check it out, just to put our minds at ease!"
The federation member in charge of communication nodded and added, "This message seems to be about the current hidden location of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, however, its authenticity is still up for debate!"
The Chairman pondered for a moment, frowning, "The location of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters? The people who could know about this are mostly evil Soul Masters from within the Cult itself!"
To be honest, the credibility of this message is extremely low!
The other council members expressed two different opinions...
"Exactly, if it's really a message deliberately leaked by someone inside the Holy Spirit Cult, then it's definitely a trap, we can't let them lead us by the nose!"
At that moment, the Demon Emperor's face twisted with ferocity...
"Good, good! But think carefully, even if you join forces, you might not be able to kill me!"
"Moreover, without me, the Holy Spirit Cult would not be able to compete with the other forces, and your goal will ultimately fail!"
No wonder Halosa, after Ghost Emperor left, exchanged his own dignity to win my trust. Little did I know, they had already reached some kind of agreement in advance...
The purpose was to remove the Dark Heavenly King and then move against me, seeking to retake control of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Upon hearing this, Ghost Emperor mercilessly scoffed, "Demon Emperor, aren't you overestimating yourself a bit? Do you really think that without you, the Holy Spirit Cult can't function?"
On the contrary, without the former, the obstacles he faced might even be fewer!
Halosa too licked the tip of his Cross Sword, speaking coldly, "Indeed, Demon Emperor, we know that your true form is a soul beast and your physical strength is very formidable, but in front of my Divine Artifact, it is still mere flesh and blood."
Xie Xie said the latter half of the sentence excitedly, "Could it be that he has already attained godhood?"
Suddenly bringing up this question, isn't that totally abnormal?
This statement made everyone's eyes shine with eagerness...
If Tang Wulin acquired godhood, with his character, he definitely wouldn't just focus on himself. He's sure to share the method too!
This means, they all would have the chance to obtain godhood and ascend to the Divine Realm!!
In order not to let them misunderstand, Tang Wulin hastily waved his hands and explained, "No... everyone's misunderstood, I haven't acquired godhood yet!"
Yue Zhengyu, however, heard the key word in the conversation and asked with an eager voice, "Not yet? Does that mean you will have it later??"
Before Tang Wulin could speak, Xie Xie answered on his own, "That's for sure, Wulin, we are sworn brothers who have been through life and death together, you absolutely can't be so selfish, argh!"
Ye Xinglan, Xu Xiaoyan, and Yuanen Yehui also showed intense curiosity in their eyes...
"Wulin, we are also very interested in becoming gods!"
Tang Wulin couldn't help but cover his forehead, realizing that he had spoken too loosely and everyone had misunderstood his words...
Clenching his teeth, he said, "That... Recently, my father took the initiative to contact me, saying that he had prepared a godhood for me!"
"If nothing goes wrong, I shouldn't have to worry about this matter. As for the rest of you, you might still have to rely on your own strength..."
He really wanted his father's help, but he also understood very clearly that this was no small matter and it could even violate the rules of the Divine Realm!
Shortly afterwards, these Spirit Hall soul masters who had fallen into a deep sleep suddenly awoke, and upon sweeping their gaze around, discovered that they had completely lost sight of Xu Sheng...
They couldn't help but exclaim, "Not good, how did we fall unconscious, and where is the guy that the Pope ordered us to capture??"
"Do we even have to say it? He's obviously escaped! It's just that we didn't expect him to be able to get away when facing so many of us!"
One soul master felt somewhat embarrassed, but still said with a tough front, "I remember, it was because we were no match for that kid, and he easily knocked us out. Come to think of it, we should thank him for sparing our lives!"
"Thanks, my ass, that kid just got lucky, it was entirely our own carelessness!!"
"Exactly, just a kid, and he really thought he could take us on?"
"Enough, we're lucky to be alive! But now, I understand why the Pope would go to such lengths to capture a kid like that. If he can't join Spirit Hall, we must destroy him because he possesses an extremely terrifying talent!"
"Cut the crap, let's think about what to do next."
After a brief discussion, these soul masters decided to report back what Xu Sheng had said!
Otherwise, they would have no way to explain themselves!
Could they possibly admit that a group of Spirit Hall elites had been miserably defeated by a mere six or seven-year-old child?
They couldn't afford to lose that much face!!
Only after these soul masters left did Xu Sheng step out from the shadows, his expression showing traces of complexity...
Probably after this, Spirit Hall's people should stop harassing him!
Of course, he also had to thank Ghost Charm and Yue Guan for this, otherwise, he couldn't have gained such powerful fighting capabilities so quickly!
Little did he know, as the mantis catches the cricket, the oriole is behind!
The Porcupine Douluo, who had been trailing behind, witnessed everything, and his eyes widened in shock...
He couldn't help but exclaim, "This... how is this possible? This kid is actually at the Titled Douluo level, but he's clearly only six or seven years old!"
