Becoming a god… Amon's words stunned everyone, even Tang Hao was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"In this world, are there really eternally immortal gods?" Xue Beng was the first to recover, his eyes filled with extreme fanaticism and desire.

"Gehrman" said calmly: "Nothing is eternal, change is the only constant truth… Gods are just powerful people.

"Of course, compared to humans' short, mayfly-like lives, gods who live for tens or hundreds of thousands of years are indeed as eternal as the sea."

Just powerful people… Tang San repeated this sentence in his heart. He thought to himself that this was truly someone from a family of blasphemers, with no respect for gods. No wonder the gods disliked you!

Ma Hongjun looked up at the ceiling, "Aren't you afraid that a god will strike you down with lightning for saying such blasphemous words?"

"I said, gods are just powerful people, they are not omniscient and omnipotent," "Gehrman" repeated his point of view.

Tang San took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Are you saying that the original Amon, your family's ancestor, died at the hands of a god?"

"Gehrman" pushed up the glasses on his nose:

"According to the records in Antigonus's notes, the ancestor was invincible in the world back then. Whether it was humans or soul beasts, all trembled in the shadow of the Amon family.

"But the ancestor's research on the inheritance of gods without any reverence eventually angered the gods, triggering a divine descent… This is the root cause of the Amon family's decline.

"After that, the Black Dragon King, Di Tian, led ferocious beasts to encircle and suppress the remaining clansmen… The family, having lost its ancestor, could not resist those powerful enemies, and eventually had to retreat into the mountains."

"Then how can one become a god?" Tang San asked calmly.

Amon answered fluently:

"One way is to become a god through faith, which is to make outstanding achievements in a certain field and continuously deepen others' impression of you in that field.

"When your achievements are great enough to trigger the rules, and with the help of the power of faith, you can condense a godhood and become the god of that field. This method takes too long and is not considered.

"The second is to inherit a godhood. Past gods have left behind their godhoods. Find a godhood that is compatible enough with yourself, participate in the god trials, and after passing them, you can inherit that godhood and become the new god.

"However, this requires a certain amount of luck. First, you must have enough talent. More importantly, the previous owner of the godhood must think that your compatibility with the godhood is high enough."

Outstanding achievements in a certain field… Deepen others' impression of you in that field… Tang Hao inexplicably thought of "Duke Thief", "Theft Act", "Stealing the Country", "Stealing the Treasure of Star Dou Great Forest", "Stealing the Treasure of the Heaven Dou Royal Family"…

He was horrified in his heart, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Amon… is he preparing to become a god through faith?"

Ning Fengzhi frowned and asked, "Brother Tang, what do you mean by this?"

"Haven't you noticed? When we mention Amon, we subconsciously Connection him with thieves, and many of the things he does are related to 'stealing', right? Even the arrest warrants issued by the Star Luo and Heaven Dou royal families before had the item of 'theft'…"

Hearing Tang Hao say this, Xue Beng and Yu Xiaogang looked at each other, both revealing a trace of annoyance.

Tang San was shocked and murmured, "Is this the Duke's great cause that Thunderclap Douluo mentioned?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled self-deprecatingly: "I pride myself on being resourceful, but I didn't expect that my painstaking calculations against Amon would actually be adding fuel to the fire for the other party's godhood cause?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at "Gehrman" with a hint of suspicion and asked, "Why are you so clear about these things? Matters related to the inheritance of gods should be the highest secrets in any force, right? Your family doesn't seem to have ever produced a god."

She held great vigilance and doubt towards this mysterious man.

"Gehrman" glanced at her and replied coldly: "The distribution ratio of nutrients in your body doesn't seem to be very coordinated, with only a small portion supplied to your brain…

"I said just now that the family's ancestor angered the gods because he researched the inheritance of godhood without reverence… This is naturally learned from the research materials he left behind.

"As for why the ancestor could study the inheritance of godhood, and why the forces left behind by the former gods would tell their highest secrets to the ancestor… That's of course because those who didn't cooperate were destroyed by the ancestor."

Tang San stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "Why would gods leave behind inheritances? For them, whose lifespans are almost infinite, wouldn't giving the godhood to others dilute their own power?"

"Gehrman" looked at him with an idiotic gaze: "Do you think I would know that? This is a question that gods would consider, and even the ancestor never reached that realm."

After pausing for a moment, "Gehrman" looked at the Shrek Seven Devils and said, "Although your talents are somewhat unsatisfactory, you are the only ones I can choose.

"Only if one of you inherits a godhood can we have the capital to fight against Amon."

Unsatisfactory… The corners of the mouths of the people from Shrek Academy twitched. It was the first time they had been evaluated so harshly on their talent.

"What about yourself? Why don't you try to inherit a godhood yourself?" Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask.

"The blood of a blasphemer flows in my veins. If I were to participate in the god trials, the assessment content would probably be how to survive the attacks of the gods," "Gehrman" said with a slightly self-deprecating smile.

"Then the most important thing now is to find the inheritance of the gods… Otherwise, everything is impossible to talk about," Ning Rongrong said.

Everyone focused their attention on "Gehrman", with a hint of anticipation.

"Gehrman" did not disappoint them, and said with a smile the location of the god's inheritance:

"The only two inheritances with definite locations that I know of are the inheritance of the Angel God, which is controlled by the Grand Worship of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu. He is the High Priest of the Angel God…"

Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu… Just the mention of these two words made the Shrek members silently cross out this option in their hearts.

Tang Hao, Tang San, and Xue Beng's expressions changed, because they remembered that Qian Renxue also possessed the Six-Winged Angel Spirit, and was Qian Daoliu's granddaughter.

"Qian Renxue, could she be able to inherit the Angel God's godhood?" Tang San said with a somewhat dry mouth.

"It's very possible… In fact, she is the most likely person to become a god in this era. If Qian Daoliu hadn't fought against Di Tian, and Qian Renxue had resolutely resisted the Star Luo Empire's army… These actions of theirs all faintly implied helping Amon. If I were worried that the Angel Clan had connections with Amon, I wouldn't have approached you."

"Gehrman's" eyes and tone carried a hint of disdain.

This caused a faint sense of anger to surge in Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's hearts, but their doubts about him were weakened a lot.

Tang San asked, "What about the second place?"

"The second inheritance is the Sea God inheritance, on Sea God Island."

At this time, Yu Xiaogang also spoke: "I have also heard a little about that place. The Spirit Hall calls it Devil Island. The soul masters who live there call themselves the children of the sea. We also call them Sea Soul Masters. Most of the spirits they possess are related to aquatic animals.

"The Spirit Hall once sent two thousand soul masters to this island, trying to recruit the soul masters there. But they never returned. Less than a hundred were able to return alive, and two Titled Douluo were also lost there.

"Now it seems that recruiting soul masters is a facade. Their real purpose is probably to seize the godhood inheritance on the island."

"Huh? There is such a mysterious force in the soul master world? I have never heard of it before," Ma Hongjun muttered.

Yu Xiaogang explained: "That's because the Sea Soul Masters who live on Sea God Island cannot leave the island. Outsiders who go there can stay there and become a Sea Soul Master as long as they pass their test… But one thing, after becoming a Sea Soul Master, they cannot leave there… This is the rule of Sea God Island."

"Devil Island, it sounds very scary…" A trace of worry flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "Sea Soul Masters are not bloodthirsty. The Spirit Hall approached Sea God Island in a hostile manner that time, and also killed some Sea Soul Masters, which caused their counterattack."

"Since Sea God Island has such an important godhood inheritance, why didn't the Grand Worship of the Spirit Hall take action himself to subdue them? Once a Limit Douluo takes action, even if the Sea Soul Masters occupy the terrain advantage, they will not be able to resist, right?" Ning Fengzhi was a little puzzled.

"I guess Sea God Island probably also has corresponding combat power, and there are also Limit Douluo-level powerhouses, which is why the Spirit Hall hesitated," Yu Xiaogang responded.

"Bo Saixi…" Tang San uttered a name.

"What?"

"That Limit Douluo is named Bo Saixi…" Tang San looked at "Gehrman", who nodded slightly.

Bo Saixi? Some distant memories awakened in Tang Hao's mind, and he blurted out:

"My brother and I once went to Sea God Island on behalf of our grandfather to deliver a letter, and met that 'Sea God Douluo'… Grandfather seemed to have pursued that person from Sea God Island…

"At that time, we were young and energetic, and had some conflicts with the people of Sea God Island. As a result, a random Titled Douluo easily captured us."

"Ah?" A trace of astonishment flowed in everyone's eyes. They didn't expect there to be such a past.

"Dad, what should we pay attention to when we go there?" Tang San looked at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao thought for a while and said calmly: "I don't know much about Sea God Island, but the people inside are not vicious or tyrannical, they just respect the Sea God exceptionally.

"You only need to pay attention to not violating the local customs, not disrespecting the gods, and not killing people… For the sake of your great-grandfather, even if you cause a little trouble, the 'Sea God Douluo' will not do anything to you."
