Chapter 921: Chapter 918: The Threat Brought by Tang San's Rise_1
"Xu Ran, I hope you keep your word this time." Tang San felt certain of his victory.
"I hope you can withstand it." Xu Ran looked at Tang San with sympathy. He thought that Tang San would definitely not be able to withstand the shock when the time came. What expression would Tang San have if he knew that the "Xu Daddy" Lan'er mentioned was him?
Xu Ran glanced at Tang San, shook his head, and then left.
He was soon to enjoy the bliss of family; he had no time to play with Tang San every day.
...
Ever since Xu Ran returned to Tiandou City, the Goddess of Kindness had been avoiding him, unwilling to meet with Xu Ran.
After being enlightened by the Life Goddess, her loyalty to the Divine Realm wasn't as strong as before, but she still didn't know what to do.
If she betrayed the Divine Realm and overthrew it with Xu Ran, what benefits would it bring her? Of course, the main reason was that she couldn't see through her own heart and face her feelings for Xu Ran.
She didn't know what she thought about Xu Ran now, but without a doubt, she understood she didn't like Evil, even detesting it greatly.
In the past, due to her relationship with the Evil God, such feelings, whenever they arose, were suppressed. Now with other thoughts in her mind, she found herself liking her previous life less and less. Even as a Divine King, she still couldn't be at ease.
"Shan Liang, how have you been staying with Xu Ran these past few days?" At that moment, the Evil God appeared beside the Goddess of Kindness and asked.
Leaving the Goddess of Kindness by Xu Ran's side was also meant to gain insight into Xu Ran through her. If the Goddess of Kindness found something uncontrollable about Xu Ran, he would act in advance to eliminate Xu Ran.
"There's nothing unusual about Xu Ran's side; everything is normal. These days he's been drowning in the pleasures of women, not posing a great threat to us."
Feeling an aura that she found repellent, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
Phrases Xu Ran had said to her kept emerging in her mind; Xu Ran was undoubtedly an ambitious man. Given the chance, with the power Xu Ran now controlled, he could deal a fatal blow to the Divine Realm. However, she wouldn't tell this to Evil, as she disliked the current rules of the Divine Realm. Even if she didn't help Xu Ran against the current Divine Realm, she wouldn't serve it either. Let nature take its course; maybe having Xu Ran as a troublemaker was a good thing after the Divine Realm had been at ease for so many years.
Besides, she felt that Xu Ran might make the Divine Realm and its subsidiary worlds better.
"Ah, the arms of a woman are the downfall of heroes. Xu Ran seems to be of little concern." The Evil God sneered.
These days he had also been investigating Xu Ran on the Continent, and Xu Ran had been spending all his days amidst women. He thought that even if Xu Ran had high talent, it wouldn't matter if it continued this way. The softness of women weakens the resolve of heroes.
Originally, Xu Ran had little hope of becoming a god, and now being entangled in the pleasures of women, his hopes were even slimmer.
"It seems I've overestimated Xu Ran; he's not much of a threat. No matter how strong Xu Ran is in the lower realm, he can't affect the Divine Realm. These past few days I've discovered the newly appointed Rakshasa God is quite interesting. He has received the inheritance of both the Rakshasa God and the Sea God, and his power is almost pressing close to ours." The Evil God's eyes flashed with a cold sharpness.
The aura of the Rakshasa God was very close to his own. If it threatened his position, that would be problematic.
In the Divine Realm, the Destruction God and the Life Goddess had ancient origins and extremely high status, and the power of the Asura God was even higher than his. Comparatively, he could be replaced. Tang San's rise in power would certainly threaten his position. So when Tang San's power increased, it turned the attention of the Divine Realm Gods to Tang San, allowing Xu Ran to relax a lot.
After all, to the gods, as long as they didn't give Xu Ran an inheritance, it's highly unlikely that Xu Ran could become a god. Creating his own godhood? The difficulty was too great. Besides, it looked like Xu Ran was going to have a wedding; once entangled in worldly affairs, once Xu Ran's heart was distracted, then he would have little chance to create his own godhood.
Therefore, the gods felt that even if Xu Ran posed some threat, it was within a controllable range.
But Tang San was different, they didn't know how he did it, but after becoming a God his strength skyrocketed. Now Tang San's strength is undoubtedly that of a leading figure among the First-Level Gods.
How big is the gap between a First-Level God and a Divine King?
A Divine King is actually just a title, after all. If there were other gods whose strengths grew powerful enough to challenge the status of the original Divine King, then that person would become the new Divine King.
Just like during the Period of the Unrivaled Tang Sect, when Huo Yuhao obtained the godhood of the God of Feelings and also became a Divine King.
"Tang San?" the Goddess of Kindness was very surprised.
She was all too familiar with that name. Here, she would often hear stories of Xu Ran beating up Tang San, which she found quite amusing, and at the same time, she held nothing but disdain and loathing for Tang San himself.
"Hmm. This person's strength has increased too bizarrely. If we don't restrain him soon, I fear he might pose a threat to my position."
"Forget it, I won't talk about this with you. Keep an eye on Xu Ran for me, I'm planning to meet the Rakshasa God in the next few days." After giving his instructions, the Evil God left with a worried heart.
He really didn't understand why a completely unremarkable lower realm would suddenly produce so many troublesome issues.
Silver Dragon King, Xu Ran, Tang San...
Not to mention the Silver Dragon King, Xu Ran was capable of slaying gods before even becoming one, and Tang San, as a twin spirit, was on par with a Divine King.
After the Evil God left, Xu Ran came over.
"What did the Evil God just say?" Xu Ran looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, grinned as he approcahed familiarly, and casually picked up a cup to pour himself some tea to drink.
"That cup was just used by me," the Goddess of Kindness said without much interest in interacting with Xu Ran, but when she saw him use the cup she had just drunk from, she hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
"No matter, I don't mind," said Xu Ran as he drained the tea in the cup.
"You!"
The Goddess of Kindness glared at Xu Ran with some anger, grinding her teeth.
What was Xu Ran implying? Saying he didn't mind using her cup?
Was that what she meant?
She, a resplendent Divine King-level beauty, had always been the one to disdain others, and no one had dared to disdain her.
"Could it be that Your Benevolent Majesty disdains me?" Xu Ran asked belatedly.
"Now that you know, hmph," the Goddess of Kindness said sulkily. She had originally not planned to interact with Xu Ran, yet she found herself unwittingly having talked so much with him, and suddenly she became angry with herself. It wasn't clear if it was because of Xu Ran or because of herself.
"Are you still mad at me?" Xu Ran touched his nose and seeing the Goddess of Kindness with an I'm very angry, hurry up and coax me expression, he found it a bit funny. Were Divine King-level powerhouses also such emotional beings?
