Chapter 260 The Great Plan!
"Let me make the decision?" Lin Nuo stroked his chin.
What else can I say?
"Seniors, the situation is urgent! Let's go and kill the Evil God Tang San!"
Destruction: This child is like me.
Of course, he couldn't say it directly, as it would give the Goddess of Life the impression that Lin Nuo was too bloodthirsty. So he just nodded silently, indicating that he would obey all of the Goddess's arrangements.
Because Lin Nuo doesn't really care about these things. It's not that he would give up killing Tang San because of the Goddess of Life. He is a staunch anti-Tang San vanguard, so how could he change his goal because of the Goddess of Life?
The current temporary hibernation is merely a strategy of concealing one's abilities and biding one's time, and also to give Tang San more opportunities to commit suicide.
That's right, Tang San will willingly offer his neck to Lin Nuo's blade.
Unlike the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life did not harbor murderous intent towards Tang San. To put it bluntly, she felt that Tang San's current actions did not warrant death. Although his actions were excessive, it was clearly too much to kill a God-King based on them alone.
This is not only a problem with her personality; from the perspective of a divine enforcer regarding the overall situation of the divine realm, this way of thinking is indeed not problematic.
Privileged individuals exist everywhere. There are only five God-King level law enforcers in the God Realm, so it's understandable that they have higher privileges. As a God-King, Tang San should naturally have even higher privileges. Even if he oversteps his authority now, he shouldn't be killed. At least, it shouldn't be Lin Nuo who kills him.
Prior to this, Tang San's plans were mostly aimed at Huo Yuhao, and he did not plan to target Lin Nuo.
From the perspective of the Goddess of Life, Lin Nuo and Tang San did not have much direct hatred. Unlike Lin Nuo, who was a transmigrator, she was not inherently irreconcilable with Tang San after transmigrating.
So of course she didn't know that Tang San was already on Lin Nuo's kill list. When she saw Lin Nuo nod in agreement, she even felt a sense of relief deep down.
Subconsciously, she didn't want to see too much conflict in the divine realm.
However, this was only because she didn't understand Tang San.
Lin Nuoke knows this all too well.
If Tang San were to stop there, then he would indeed have no moral reason to kill Tang San. At most, he could teach Tang San a lesson, as the Goddess of Life had envisioned. So far, his reasons for wanting to kill Tang San were not even as convincing as those for Tang Wutong, the daughter of the Sea God. She had actually been killed by Tang San and used as a tool.
But will Tang San stop here?
Given Tang San's personality, how could he allow Lin Nuo to develop rapidly, gradually eroding his interests and power, and ultimately hand over control of Douluo Continent and even the God Realm to others, while he himself remained in a corner, swallowing his anger?
There's no need to even think about it; it's simply impossible for Tang San to do such a thing.
Just watching Lin Nuo grow and develop was more painful for him than seeing his own strength decline, not to mention that Lin Nuo was growing and developing by occupying his territory and resources. How was that any different from cutting off his own flesh?
That's right. In his opinion, both Douluo Continent and the God Realm belong to him and must be marked with the name Tang. Lin Nuo grew up in Douluo Continent, so wasn't he just using Tang San's resources to become a god?
As a result, this descendant who became a god by consuming the resources of the Tang family will not only easily possess the god-king position that he "spent countless hardships" to achieve, but will also likely turn against him and join forces with the God of Destruction to oppose him.
Can Tang San accept this?
Because he knew Tang San so well, Lin Nuo didn't need to think twice before agreeing to the Goddess of Life's request. He figured Tang San would definitely not let him develop peacefully and would inevitably create more obstacles for him.
Lin Nuo currently has no compelling reason to kill Tang San, but Tang San is practically delivering himself to Lin Nuo's doorstep. Every time Tang San trips up Lin Nuo or plots against him, he gets closer to death.
Naturally, the day Lin Nuo becomes a god will be the day Tang San dies.
As for Tang San's little schemes, there's even less need to worry about them.
The two God-Kings of Life and Destruction in the God Realm directly ensured that Lin Nuo would not lose his ability to resist due to Tang San's mechanical deus ex machina. Unable to appear in his true form, he lost the ability to overturn the table. As long as he doesn't directly face Tang San, with Lin Nuo's current invincible strength in the lower realm, he doesn't need to worry about Tang San's lackeys.
Faced with absolute power, Tang San's insignificant scheme could at most annoy Lin Nuo, but could not cause any substantial damage.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Nuo even began to look forward to Tang San's subsequent offensive.
He was already invincible in the lower realm, and only Tang San could put pressure on him. Assuming there was no risk involved, the higher the difficulty, the more challenging it would be.
The God of Destruction, however, raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the enigmatic expression in Lin Nuo's eyes.
Sure enough, this child is like me.
He realized that Lin Nuo shared the same thought as him: to kill Tang San once and for all.
It doesn't matter if the attributes are the same as those of the Goddess of Life, as long as the personality is different. Now it seems that the personality of this successor of the Goddess of Life is very much to his liking, which is why he wanted to pass on the divine position to her from the very beginning.
He smiled and said, "Since we've already laid everything bare, there's no need to wait for our affinity to increase further. I'll just unleash the divine test directly. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Before Lin Nuo, the illusory image of the Goddess of Life trembled slightly, and its emerald green eyes were instantly stained blood red. The God of Destruction immediately took his place, raised his hand, and pointed at Lin Nuo's brow.
Dark purple lightning shot from his fingertips and entered Lin Nuo's brow, while the majestic voice of the God of Destruction echoed in his mind.
[The Nine Trials of Destruction Begin—]
After the dark purple lightning dissipated, the divine test mark between Lin Nuo's eyebrows had changed. When there were only the Nine Trials of Life, the divine test mark between Lin Nuo's eyebrows was the same inverted V-shaped mark as the Goddess of Life. Now that there are the Nine Trials of Destruction, the two divine test marks have formed an X-shaped pattern. What's even more interesting is that, upon closer inspection, the new divine test mark can be found to be a pattern of the two super artifacts, the Ancient Tree of Life and the Scepter of Destruction, intersecting.
"Because my and Xiao Lü's divine positions are somewhat special, we cannot arrange the assessment content for you like a normal divine examination. Therefore, the process of inheriting my divine position will also be somewhat different." The voice of the God of Destruction rang in Lin Nuo's mind.
At the same time, the contents of the Nine Trials of Destruction were also projected above Linno's spiritual sea.
Normally, the content of a divine test is revealed only after one test is passed, but the Nine Tests of Destruction reveal all nine test contents at once, and the contents of the nine tests are exactly the same.
Each assessment increases the affinity for destruction by 10%. Each 10% increase completes one assessment. Only the seventh and ninth assessments offer rewards; the other seven assessments offer no rewards.
The seventh test rewards the right to use the Scepter of Destruction, the ninth test rewards the final 10% affinity with Destruction, and upon completion of the nine tests, one inherits the position of God of Destruction.
It's simply amazing.
Lin Nuo was increasingly shocked as he read on. Normally, completing a divine examination would reward one with a higher affinity to the divine position. But for the God of Destruction, it was only after increasing one's affinity to destruction that the examination was considered complete.
Destruction, are you awake?
"Aren't you curious why this is the content of the divine test I gave you?" The voice of the God of Destruction rang out again, but there was a hint of amusement in his words.
Lin Nuo nodded subconsciously, almost blurting out the question, "Are you awake?"
"You might not know how high your affinity is with the God of Life right now, do you?" the God of Destruction said with a hint of helplessness.
"Isn't it 10%?" Lin Nuo asked.
He has only completed the first two tests, and he hasn't even finished the third test, which is called "baptism." The test requires him to go to some land of life to be cleansed by the rain of life. Since he doesn't know how long this test will take, and Lin Nuo can't get away for the time being, he has been putting it off.
Having only completed the first two tests, he received two rewards for life affinity, each worth 5%, which adds up to 10%.
"You really didn't know." The God of Destruction shook his head.
"Arno, your affinity with the Goddess of Life has reached 76%." The gentle voice of the Goddess of Life rang out.
"Huh?" Lin Nuo was stunned, then pointed to the tip of his nose. "76%? Me? Didn't I just complete two tests? Why is my affinity with the divine position so high?"
Oh no, I've become Tang San!
I vaguely remember that when Tang San inherited the position of the God of Asura, Tang Chen took the first eight tests for him, and the affinity with the god was so strong that it was as if the fake one had become real.
So I ended up with it too? So which stand-in helped me get a 66% affinity with the gods?
"To be honest, we don't know either. Perhaps it's because your talent in the path of life is too outstanding, or it might be because of your extremely special physique," the God of Destruction explained. "So, Little Green and I are just trying it out and testing its feasibility."
"Your affinity for life has increased gradually and imperceptibly. If this were merely your talent in the path of life, you would not have been able to increase my affinity for the God of Destruction. In that case, you would not have had to undergo the divine test and there would have been no conflict between destruction and life."
"But if your affinity is enhanced by your special physique—then you will most likely be able to be compatible with my Destruction Godhood and Little Green's Life Godhood. I won't tell you the specifics of what will happen now, lest you become overly ambitious. I can only tell you that if you truly inherit both our Godhoods, your future will be limitless."
Instead of giving specific assessments, Lin Nuo is allowed to try to increase his affinity for destruction on his own. This way, there won't be a situation where the God of Destruction grants him affinity, causing Lin Nuo to have his affinity for life on the other side reduced due to a conflict with his divine position.
Based on the years of attempts by the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, their divine laws are incompatible and will inevitably clash.
Therefore, the God of Destruction could not, under the usual circumstances, subject Linno to a divine test when the Goddess of Life had already administered one.
These two divine positions are like the relationship between ice and fire. If the ice is too strong, it will extinguish the flames; if the fire is too strong, it will evaporate the ice.
Given that Linno's life affinity is already very high, if he were to undergo the test of the God of Destruction and gain a degree of destructive affinity, and since he himself is unable to be compatible with these two divine powers, it would only result in the destructive affinity being neutralized and erased by the life affinity.
Not only will it prevent Linno from having a destructive affinity, but the neutralized life affinity will also decrease.
This is the same mass of material evaporating out of thin air, a complete loss without any benefit.
Therefore, it would be better to place hope on Lin Nuo himself and see if he could use his special physique to simultaneously increase his affinity for destruction and his affinity for life, thus achieving the goal of being compatible with the two laws of destruction and life.
If he could truly achieve this, he might even have the chance to unite the two divine positions of destruction and life, and recreate the power of creation.
This is the expectation of the God of Destruction.
If Lin Nuo succeeds, he and his wife will not only be able to create an unprecedentedly powerful god, giving Lin Nuo strength comparable to or even surpassing the strongest god in the God Realm, the Dragon God, but they will also be able to have him help them resolve the difficulties of the conflict between their divine powers, allowing them to have offspring.
Even if Lin Nuo fails to complete the test, at most he will make no progress in the God of Destruction test and only inherit the position of God of Life.
When they first brought Lin Nuo to the God Realm and gave him the position of God of Life, that was their plan.
However, at that time, only a wisp of Lin Nuo's soul went to the God Realm, and the Holy Body of Medicine failed to work, preventing him from passing the special test of the God of Destruction. As a result, he could only accept the divine test of the Goddess of Life at that time.
Later, as the effects of the medicine gradually became apparent, the God of Destruction's thoughts rekindled, and now he was simply telling Linno about the details of the plan.
He was the last to know.jpg
"Don't disappoint this old man, young man!" The God of Destruction laughed heartily, ending his communication with Lin Nuo.
The divine avatar of the Goddess of Life smiled gently at Lin Nuo and returned to the Ancient Tree of Life as green light.
At the scene, only Lin Nuo, who was stroking his chin thoughtfully, and Qing Di, who was standing there dumbfounded, remained.
There were so many things to complain about that she didn't know where to begin.
The fragment of soul that the Goddess of Life called "Little Seven" has been nurtured in the ancient tree of life, a powerful artifact, along with the return of divine consciousness. It will be allowed to return to its original body when the opportunity arises later.
Even now, Qingdi, who is unaware of most of the inside story, is still completely confused even after listening to the entire conversation between Lin Nuo and the two God Kings.
Most importantly: whose soul fragment is it, why would another god want to put it into his body, and what does that god want to do with it?
Qingdi knew nothing about it.
All he knew was that if this matter were to be accomplished, his fate would be extremely tragic, and he would most likely die and be annihilated forever.
She frowned and instinctively moved closer to Lin Nuo.
It seems that only Lin Nuo, this strange human, can bring her a little sense of security now.
