Chapter 87: Background and Consequences, On the Vast Chessboard, Who Will Move?
"People from 20,000 years ago?" Upon hearing this, Dark Bell's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
If people from 20,000 years ago could still be alive today, there is only one possibility: that Tang Hao and Ah Yin have broken through the shackles of the mortal world and become gods.
"Could Master Shifu, the teacher of Tang San, the Sea God from 20,000 years ago, have also become a god?" Dark Bell wondered. After all, Tang San was known for his deep respect for his teachers; surely he would have...
If Jiang Xiu could hear the Dark Bell's thoughts, he would definitely shrug and reject it outright. Tang San had already done more than enough by letting Gangzi break through to level 30...
"Those two are truly despicable. Not only did they steal your position as the spirit of the plane, senior, but they also want to kill you."
Jiang Xiu said with some resentment. Although he already knew about this, he could not show it in front of the spirit of the old plane.
"Fortunately, when Tang Hao possessed me, I managed to preserve a remnant of my soul and escape, wandering the Douluo Continent." The spirit of the plane shook its head slightly, a complex emotion flashing in its eyes.
After all, the immense sense of loss from being the spirit of the Douluo Continent to becoming a wandering soul in a single day had left him devastated. Furthermore, Tang Hao had replaced him as the new spirit of the plane, leaving him without any hope.
"Senior, what is your relationship with Hades Emperor Halosa?" Jiang Xiu pointed to the unconscious Hades Emperor on the ground and asked softly.
At this moment, Harosa's blood had stopped flowing, a faint gray mist was rising around him, and the life force within his body was gradually rekindling.
"Him..." Looking at Harosa, the Spirit of the Plane sighed first, then continued, "He was one of the executors of my revenge plan back then."
"After getting through the slump, I gradually figured everything out and vaguely sensed that Tang San seemed to have a bigger plan. So I thought of using my remaining power to create a god and leave myself a trump card. Harosa was the one I chose."
The Spirit of the Planes showed no joy at this point, and even sighed.
"Then you saw it too, I failed. After Tang Hao became the new plane spirit, he completely restricted the upper limit of this plane, which is that mortals cannot become gods. Even if you are just a tiny bit short, it is impossible to overcome this constraint."
At that time, he secretly mobilized all the resentment and negative emotions in the world and added them to Harosa. Harosa's cultivation level also jumped all the way up, but after reaching the limit of quasi-god, he has been stuck for fifty years and can hardly make any progress.
"I see." A hint of understanding flashed in Jiang Xiu's purple eyes. This period was a time when many talented people emerged, and geniuses of all kinds were as numerous as fish crossing a river.
Even in the later stages of the war, Title Douluo were not considered high-end combat power; Super Douluo barely managed to gain a foothold, while Limit Douluo were the mainstays.
This prosperous period has seen no one break through to godhood in ten thousand years; there must be something sinister going on behind the scenes, and it seems that's the case now.
It's important to know that the original Sea God collected faith from the ocean of Douluo Continent and ascended to the God Realm by creating his own Sea God position. This proves that Douluo Continent does not lack the conditions to break through to the God level; it's just that they are currently being restricted.
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, suppressing these chaotic thoughts, and he asked a question he was worried about: "Didn't Tang Hao notice your remnant soul?"
"At that time, Tang Hao was familiarizing himself with the authority of the spirit of the Douluo Continent plane, and my actions were also carried out in secret. Being inexperienced, he could only think that the resentment between heaven and earth had accumulated to a certain degree, so he chose Harosa on his own."
The Spirit of the Planes chuckled, his words brimming with unquestionable confidence. Having served as the Spirit of the Planes for countless years, he dared to say that no one knew the Douluo Continent better than him. Moreover, even Harosa, whom he had invested in, was unaware of his existence.
"So how did you get here and find me?" Jiang Xiu nodded thoughtfully, then asked softly.
"You're really cautious!" The Dimensional Spirit chuckled and teased, but he had always wanted to open up to Jiang Xiu, so he didn't hold back.
"When I saw that Hades Harosa had no hope of becoming a god, I was already somewhat disheartened. Moreover, secretly helping Harosa also consumed a lot of my power, which once put me into a deep sleep. If it weren't for that incident, I might have completely perished in my slumber..."
The Spirit of the Dimension sighed, a hint of relief appearing in its eyes.
Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and asked, "Which matter?"
"Speaking of which, this is related to you. After Tang Hao discovered you as an anomaly, without causing the Abyss Saint to awaken or weakening the Abyss Plane, he actually created a spatial rift to bring the Abyss tide to the sky above Snow City, hoping to kill two birds with one stone. And his actions also awakened me when I was about to perish."
The spirit of the plane stroked his beard and gave Jiang Xiu a deep look.
"It really was him!" Upon hearing this, even though Jiang Xiu had already confirmed it in his heart, his purple eyes still radiated a cold killing intent.
It is important to know that the disaster in Snow City killed hundreds of thousands of people, tore countless families apart, destroyed countless warm families, and sent tens of thousands of children who should have awakened their martial spirits and embraced a new life to their deaths.
Jiang Xiu was never a saint, but he couldn't forget this debt. He would hold Tang Hao accountable and settle accounts with him properly in the future.
Just then, the voice of the dimensional spirit continued to ring out.
"His actions drew my attention to you. Although you are an anomaly for him, you have given me hope." After a pause, the spirit of the plane looked at Jiang Xiu with a newfound fervor in its eyes.
"So I quickly preserved this last bit of true spirit and secretly looked for an opportunity. During this time, I also discovered Tang San's son, Tang Wulin, and the split Silver Dragon King."
After the Silver Dragon King's half attacked Tang Wulin, I sensed the divine sense Tang San had left on Tang Wulin. Based on the fluctuations of that divine sense when it attacked, I determined that he only had two more opportunities to strike. After learning that you had come to Heaven Dou City, I secretly guided the Underworld Emperor to stage this grand spectacle.
Having said that, the Spirit of the Plane put his hands behind his back, his aged eyes filled with satisfaction.
Now that Tang San's divine consciousness has faded and the Golden Dragon King's essence within Tang Wulin has been transferred to Jiang Xiu's body, he has accomplished all his goals.
"Senior, you have truly remarkable courage." With all his doubts resolved, Jiang Xiu felt a surge of admiration and said with deep respect.
Although the Dark Bell beside her was babbling a lot to the Dimensional Spirit and she didn't understand some of it, she also felt a chill down her spine. Such a layout was not something an ordinary person could do.
Looking at the dimensional spirit's somewhat balding head, Dark Bell secretly praised, "Truly, the balder the head, the wiser one is!"
"Nothing to boast about, nothing to boast about," the dimensional spirit said with a smile, waving to Jiang Xiu before its expression became slightly more serious.
"Now that your doubts have been cleared up, let's talk about what's next for you, since I'll be disappearing completely soon."
Jiang Xiu's expression immediately turned serious: "Senior, please speak."
The spirit of the plane not only removed Tang San's divine consciousness from him, but also transferred the Golden Dragon King's essence into his body, confirming that he was one of their own.
"Alright, now I'll tell you how... to get rid of Tang Hao and Ah Yin!"
