Douluo Continent: The Sky's Strongest Ranking is Full of My Illusions

Chapter 24 Slaying the Dragon and Slaughtering the Dust

What are your thoughts?

The Asura God sat high in the center, throwing out the question, as was his usual practice.

Upon hearing this, the other four God-Kings pondered for a moment, their faces clearly showing their indecisiveness.

Finally, the God of Kindness paused for a moment, then stood up and broke the silence:

"In my opinion, we should send a hundred priests down to the mortal realm to strangle him!"

The King of Gods turned to look at him in disbelief. This guy was so ruthless.

"God of Kindness, please sit down. It hasn't come to that yet," the God of Evil said, waving his hand dismissively.

When the divine realm interferes with the mortal realm, the gods may be punished, or even the destruction of civilizations, turmoil in the divine realm, and a cosmic crisis may ensue.

The existence of this ironclad rule serves both to protect the fragile lower realm and to ensure the continued existence of the divine realm itself.

All acts of divine intervention, regardless of their initial intentions, must ultimately face the severe judgment of this law.

Although priests do not have divine positions and cannot be considered true gods, they are nominally able to go to the mortal realm to handle some affairs, but they are actually directed by gods behind the scenes.

The descent of a hundred priests to the mortal realm in such a grand manner will inevitably lead to a trial.

Such a grand display should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable for the five great god-kings and even the entire god realm.

Moreover, Lin Chen's current strength is not yet out of control.

No matter how powerful you are, or how many tricks you have up your sleeve, you're still just an ordinary person at heart.

There's really no need for such a big fuss about a mere mortal.

"Evil, do you have another way?" the god of goodness asked, sitting down.

In his world, sending a hundred priests to the mortal realm to exterminate him was the most conservative approach.

"Yes, recently, someone in the City of Slaughter has been exploring power. Under my control, I can bestow divinity upon him and allow him to undergo the test of the evil god."

"The first test is to kill Lin Chen. Even if he is no match for Lin Chen, it doesn't matter. I will use him to take action from the shadows! In this way, I can avoid the judgment of the laws."

"No matter how invincible Lin Chen is in the lower realm, capable of killing a divine official, he cannot withstand the methods of a God King, even if he is just an avatar of a God King."

"The City of Slaughter? Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect?"

The other god-kings looked at the evil god with surprise.

They all knew Tang Hao's growth trajectory: at the age of forty-four, he broke through level ninety, becoming the youngest titled Douluo in the recorded history of Douluo Continent.

Such talent would indeed be dazzling in the lower realms, but it is far from enough for a successor to a godhood; one could only say it is utterly inadequate.

Especially the inheritance of a god-king like the God of Evil, even if Tang Hao worked hard for another 20,000 years, it wouldn't be enough.

They thought that the evil god had chosen Tang Hao as his god mainly for two reasons.

First, the power that Tang Hao is exploring does indeed belong to the control of the evil god.

Secondly, Tang Hao happens to have a blood feud with Lin Chen for killing his wife, and his heart is filled with endless hatred. This allows him to withstand more of the evil god's power, making it easier for the evil god to attack from behind.

Therefore, Tang Hao became the most suitable candidate at the moment.

"Evil God, do you really intend to make him your successor?"

The gods felt sorry for the evil god.

Seeing the looks they gave him, the God of Evil smiled and said mockingly:

"Be my heir? Are you kidding me? He's only fit to be a pawn."

"I just wanted to use him to kill Lin Chen. Once Lin Chen is dead, he will be of no use."

Upon hearing this, the gods suddenly realized what was going on.

As expected of an evil god, this scheme is truly wicked.

The evil god continued:

"Furthermore, we must take separate action against Lin Chen, the Silver Dragon King. With my intervention on Lin Chen's side, my divine sense clone is sufficient to kill him."

Although the Silver Dragon King was severely injured back then, so much time has passed that a mere wisp of his divine consciousness cannot kill her. If they join forces, in the end, neither of them can kill her.

"That's simple." At this moment, the God of Destruction, who had remained silent until now, spoke coldly:

"The Silver Dragon King is still recovering from his serious injuries, and his strength has been greatly reduced. We can send two more priests down."

The God of Destruction spoke with utter nonchalance, not even considering the Silver Dragon King in his prime, let alone now that he was severely injured.

"I think it's fine to do it your way."

The evil god agreed.

Subsequently, the God of Kindness and the God of Life both agreed.

The only thing they didn't hear was the opinion of the Asura God.

The gazes of the gods sitting on either side all converged on the center.

"Asura God, what do you think?"

The Asura God shook his head, but it wasn't that he disagreed. He seemed to be pondering, as if he felt it wasn't a perfect solution, and he offered some suggestions.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze sweeping over the gods:

"I have no objection to the actions against the Silver Dragon King, but I would like to add something regarding Lin Chen."

"This person has a lot of trump cards up his sleeve. For example, the great formation he used not long ago directly severed the connection with the God Realm. At that time, relying on Tang Hao's divine consciousness clone alone will probably not be enough."

The faces of the god-kings, except for the evil god, all darkened.

The reason the God of Evil didn't is because he had already guessed the God of Asura's intentions, but it wasn't his business, so he couldn't interfere.

The Asura God continued:

"In the City of Slaughter, I also have a successor to my divine position."

Upon hearing this...

The god-kings, whose faces had just darkened, suddenly remembered this matter.

Many years ago, the God of Asura had a successor to the divine position in the City of Slaughter, who seemed to be... Tang Chen.

However, during the Asura God Trial, that guy was maliciously interfered with by the Rakshasa God, and in the end, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King took advantage of the situation and possessed his body.

Tang Chen is now a walking corpse, a monster, and has long been abandoned by the God of Asura.

Why is the God of Asura bringing him up again at this time? Is he planning to secretly intervene and restart Tang Chen?

as predicted.

The Asura God did indeed have this intention, and he coldly said:

"This person has considerable talent and strength; my thoughts align with those of the God of Evil."

Speaking of it.

The Asura God glanced at the Evil God, and the two gods looked at each other and nodded.

"Tang Chen's current strength, without the interference of the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, has reached the quasi-god level, and he can withstand more of my divine power descending."

"After killing Lin Chen, we can choose another successor," the Asura God said without any emotional fluctuation.

In just a few words, Tang Chen and Tang Hao became pawns of the God King, pawns to be used and discarded.

These gods had no psychological burden whatsoever.

"With the two great god-kings' avatars descending, Lin Chen is doomed no matter what he uses!"

"As for the Silver Dragon King, there's no need to worry. He's just a badly injured beast. Two priests can kill him when they descend to the mortal realm."

"Then, everyone, let's do it this way. This time, we absolutely cannot let Lin Chen, the Silver Dragon King, escape!"

The gods finalized the plan.

And this moment.

On the Douluo Continent, the Silver Dragon King and Lin Chen were unaware that the God Realm had secretly laid a deadly trap for them!
