As Ning Fengzhi finished his guess, the live stream's buffering came to an end, and the illusory screen was abruptly blacked out.
Then, the virtual space everyone was seeing changed once again.
The scene transformed back to the beginning of the Slaughter City?!
When they saw the virtual space return to its original form, with a purple moon hanging high in the sky and the desolate trees outside the Slaughter City reaching out like demons under the dim purple moonlight, everyone was momentarily stunned.
The next phase of the live stream was still set in this Slaughter City?!
Realizing this made everyone feel more justified. After all, encountering two phases of live Q&A was unprecedented. It made sense for the broadcast to remain in the same location!
The live stream continued.
In the darkened woods, a middle-aged man in a brown fitted leather outfit and a headscarf stepped out from the shadows and into the dry trees.
At that moment, a group of black-armored knights, led by a towering knight, blocked the man's path.
Then, the battle erupted!
Though the black-armored knights were numerous, the middle-aged man summoned a black hammer martial soul and instantly unleashed tremendous power, swiftly defeating the knights.
Everything felt oddly familiar.
However, that familiarity was understandable, as the man being intercepted by the black-armored knights was none other than Tang San's father, Tang Hao!
In the live stream, everyone quickly recognized Tang Hao. After all, his youthful appearance had been shown in a previous broadcast.
It seemed that, just like Tang San, Tang Hao similarly entered Slaughter City, faced the same obstacles, and after defeating the black-armored knights, he obtained the pass to enter Slaughter City.
At the entrance of the Slaughter City, Tang Hao also encountered the guide responsible for explaining the rules. After inquiring about relevant information, he went straight to the Hell Killing Fields to begin his trials.
Time sped up.
In the Hell Killing Fields, Tang Hao spent nearly three years successfully achieving a hundred consecutive victories, earning the title of "Death Hammer King!"
After rejecting the invitation from the King of Slaughter, Tang Hao embarked on the path of hell.
Though the journey was arduous, he ultimately succeeded in passing the trials and left the Slaughter City, becoming yet another Kill God.
The live stream continued.
As the camera panned again to the same scene outside the Slaughter City, under the illumination of the purple moon, a beautiful woman dressed in a lavish purple gown with long purple hair walked coldly through the dark woods towards the Slaughter City.
Many people from the Spirit Hall recognized her instantly.
Wasn't this the youthful appearance of their esteemed Pope, Bibi Dong?
They were surprised to find that their noble Pope had also once ventured into the Slaughter City!
As the camera focused on Bibi Dong, it followed her path to the Slaughter City. Guided by the narrator, she entered the Slaughter City.
Unlike Tang Hao and Tang San, who encountered the black-armored knights, Bibi Dong was able to enter Slaughter City without obstruction.
After asking the guide about the Slaughter City, she quickly began her trials in the Hell Killing Fields, completing them in an even shorter time than Tang Hao.
In just over two years, Bibi Dong achieved a hundred consecutive victories and earned the title of "Demon Spider."
After also declining the King of Slaughter's offer, she began her trials on the path of hell.
Of course, Bibi Dong also succeeded in her trials.
The scene froze at the moment when Bibi Dong completed her trials and lay unconscious in a forest outside Slaughter City, transforming bloodlust.
Suddenly, a line of crimson text appeared before everyone's eyes.
At the same time, the cold voice echoed once more.
[The broadcast event has concluded, and the Q&A begins now!]
[Question: How many Kill Gods currently exist in Douluo Continent?]
[Rewards for this Q&A:]
[1st Place: Random reward x1!]
[2nd Place: For humans: Random ten-thousand-year external spirit bone x1; for spirit beasts: Random high-level ability x1]
[3rd Place: One bottle of Qi and Blood Pill, effect: After consumption, it can enhance the physical strength of humans and spirit beasts; one bottle can elevate an ordinary person to the physical strength of a top-level attack-type soul master with a normal state spirit beast!]
Once again, there were rewards!
Seeing that the rewards for this session were the same as the last, countless individuals and even ten-thousand-year spirit beasts couldn't help but rejoice.
However, the question remained: how many Kill Gods currently exist in the Douluo Continent?
Everyone understood that a Kill God had to complete the path of hell and attain the God of Slaughter's domain to be considered as such.
From the information given in the broadcast, two Kill Gods were confirmed: Tang Hao and Bibi Dong.
But were there any others? If so, how many?
This left many people and factions scratching their heads.
During the time of Tang San and Hu Liena, both Tang Hao and Bibi Dong were still alive.
Thus, other Kill Gods might have existed during the era of Tang Hao and Bibi Dong.
However, based on the information presented in the livestream, it was impossible to guess how many other Kill Gods might have existed at that time beyond Bibi Dong and Tang Hao.
At this moment, Lin Yu felt the same way.
How many Kill Gods were there?
Lin Yu pondered deeply.
Firstly, according to the dark-clothed woman's statement during Tang San's era, there were a total of eight Kill Gods in the Killing City.
Therefore, the number of Kill Gods must be less than eight!
Since Tang Hao and Bibi Dong were confirmed as two, the final range should be between two and eight.
Wait, there was also Tang Chen!
Suddenly, Lin Yu recalled that Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter, certainly had the God of Slaughter's domain, thus making him a Kill God as well.
So, the correct range should be between three and eight!
Based on Lin Yu's previous experiences with live Q&As, since the live stream had only featured Slaughter City, the final answer was most likely related to that.
Thus, Lin Yu ultimately decided that his answer would be three!
