Chapter 355 News and Rumors about the Gods
Hearing this, Tang San asked with a deep frown.
Clearly, this news completely exceeded Tang San's expectations.
In response, Dai Mubai shook his head and said,
"How would I know? Although the Star Luo Empire has inside contacts within Spirit Hall, their status isn't high, so they don't have much internal information. However, I suspect that Spirit Hall is planning a world-shaking major operation, and it's precisely because of this major operation that Spirit Hall doesn't have time to deal with Sun Yu's matter, and they even don't have time to deal with the Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong's disappearance!"
Listening to Dai Mubai's conjecture, Tang San asked with a surprised expression,
"A world-shaking major operation?! What kind of major operation could make Spirit Hall appear so troublesome?!"
Tang San had also heard of Spirit Hall's power. Based on what he witnessed during the Grand Finals and what he learned from his grand-uncle, Spirit Hall's combat power was unparalleled, even compared to the Clear Sky Sect at its peak.
Therefore, Tang San was truly very curious about such a significant event that could make the formidable Spirit Hall appear so stretched.
Listening to Tang San's question, Dai Mubai glanced around and then continued,
"I heard, I'm just hearing and guessing, that Spirit Hall is acting so frequently because they might be cultivating a God...."
"A God?!"
Hearing this title, Tang San couldn't help but gasp.
A God?! Reaching Godhood at level 100?!
Could this phrase, which Tang San had heard many people say since he was young, actually be true?!
"That's right, a God. According to ancient records, Spirit Hall was founded by the Angel God. It's precisely because they believe in the Angel God that Spirit Hall has so many powerful experts. And it must be such a major event as cultivating a God that would cause the behemoth that is Spirit Hall to temporarily cease its operations..."
Listening to Dai Mubai's speculation, Tang San's heart sank even further.
It was already very difficult for him to seek revenge against Spirit Hall and Aolai Country with his current abilities.
But now you're telling me that Spirit Hall is actually cultivating a God? How could Tang San, who was only a level 70 quasi-Soul Saint and hadn't even acquired a Soul Ring yet, accept this?
For a moment, after hearing this news, Tang San's heart fell into deep despair.
He at least had some confidence in dealing with Aolai Country.
But when it came to dealing with a God, Tang San, who had no understanding of Gods whatsoever, felt completely lost and utterly despondent.
After all, even if Tang San had no understanding of Gods, he could at least guess that only a God could deal with a God...
As Tang San fell silent, the others present also fell into a daze.
Not even titled Douluo, upon hearing the word 'God,' their minds were a jumble, unable to think clearly.
"A God?! Are there really Gods on this continent?! Boss Dai, is your information accurate?!"
Ning Rongrong stood up and asked Dai Mubai with an unwilling expression.
If Spirit Hall really had a God, then what would they use for revenge?!
They might as well retreat to the mountains and forests and wait to die!
Dai Mubai showed no anger at Ning Rongrong's question; instead, he nodded gravely and said,
"Of course, Rongrong. Actually, I made many other conjectures at the time, but after a series of thoughts and considerations, I believe that perhaps only something like cultivating a God could justify Spirit Hall not even bothering to deal with the Supreme Pontiff's disappearance, and instead directly having Holy Maiden Hu Liena take her place. After all, this is truly too abnormal!"
Listening to Dai Mubai's words, Ning Rongrong instantly wilted like a frosted eggplant.
"No way. If Spirit Hall has a God, then how can we get revenge? To deal with a God, I suppose only a second God would suffice. But on the continent, besides Spirit Hall, are there really no other places with Gods?"
As soon as she thought about having to seek revenge against a God, Ning Rongrong almost gave up on the idea of revenge entirely.
But the next moment, Dai Mubai's words invigorated Ning Rongrong, making her face light up with pleasant surprise.
"Of course there are, Rongrong. You're absolutely right. Not only are there Gods on the continent, but there's more than one God. Just the Gods that have been recorded, I've learned about two during my years of researching ancient texts and asking elders in my clan..."
"Two!? Does that mean besides Spirit Hall, there are other places with Gods?!"
Hearing Dai Mubai say this, Tang San immediately looked up at Dai Mubai with excitement.
Ning Rongrong also looked at Dai Mubai with a stunned expression.
No way, is it true?
If there are Gods in other places, then is it possible for them to also appear or win over a God!?
Looking at Tang San's excited eyes, Dai Mubai spoke with a serious tone.
"According to the elders in my clan, Spirit Hall isn't always victorious. Fifty years ago, after dominating the entire continent, Spirit Hall once planned to expand their territory further by going out to sea and spreading the name of the Angel God.
However, when they arrived at an island, not only did they fail to occupy it as they usually did, but they were also utterly defeated by the powerful experts on that island....
And it was from that time onwards that Spirit Hall completely abandoned the idea of expanding overseas, remaining confined to the land. The name of that island, according to information from Spirit Hall, is Devil Island. But because the Star Luo Empire borders coastal cities, we heard another name for Devil Island from the people in those coastal cities.... It's called Sea God Island..."
"Sea... Sea... Sea God Island?!"
Listening to this name, Tang San's face was filled with a dazed expression.
"That's right, Sea God Island. Although I don't know if there's truly a God on Sea God Island, a place that can make Spirit Hall so wary that they completely abandoned the idea of overseas expansion, a place that even the High Priest Qian Daoliu, who is invincible in the sky, fears, clearly, that place must not be simple...."
Listening to Dai Mubai's words, Tang San, with an excited expression, slowly lowered his head and fell into deep thought....
Finally, after a complex ideological struggle, Tang San suddenly looked up and said with a serious expression,
"Boss Dai, hearing is one thing, seeing is believing. So I want to go to Sea God Island to see for myself. Can you help me?!"
And as soon as Tang San said this, Ning Rongrong, Tang Yuehua, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing all showed shocked expressions.
"Little San, don't be impulsive. This is just a rumor, and no one knows if it's true or false! What if it's false? Then wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?!"
Dai Mubai tried to dissuade him.
"That's right, Little San, this is just a rumor. What if it's false?!"
