"I understand, Brother," Tang Sui nodded, admitting she was quite shaken this time.
Tang San let out a sigh of relief and asked about other matters, "Right, Sui Sui, why was your soul consciousness suddenly pulled into that Angel God's space this time?"
Speaking of this, Tang Sui's expression turned unpleasant, "The Angel God dragged me there to be a preaching tool for Her successor."
Tang San's face showed a look of astonishment, "A preaching tool? That Angel God... made you preach to Qian Renxue?!"
He raised his voice towards the end.
Tang Sui snorted, "Yes, I didn't realize it at first. It wasn't until after I seemed to have enlightened Qian Renxue that the entire space began to reject me, and the Angel God personally appeared that I realized this was just a setup for Qian Renxue."
Tang San's expression became more solemn, "So, Qian Renxue is likely undergoing a successor assessment similar to my Sea God's Nine Trials. I originally thought our growth speed was already fast enough, and that even if I truly became the next Sea God, we would have a sure victory in this confrontation with the Spirit Empire. I didn't expect..."
"As Senior Bo Saixi said, the enemy won't just stand still and wait for us." Tang Sui, feeling much better, gently pressed her hand on Tang San's hand, "Brother, I'm much better now. You don't need to keep channeling soul power to me. Let's leave the mental space and return to the real world. Sister Wu and the others must be very worried about us."
"Alright." Tang San stopped channeling soul and internal energy, slowly withdrawing his power.
Simultaneously, the entire space began to blur.
After a sudden plunge of consciousness, Tang Sui, who was seated on the Sea God's Great White Shark, abruptly opened her eyes, followed by a muffled cough as she hunched over.
"Cough, cough..."
"Sui Sui!"
"Sui Sui, you're awake!"
"That's great!"
The eager voices of her companions reached her ears. Her back was being patted gently yet firmly. Tang Sui, who had been coughing violently, finally caught her breath after several seconds.
[You're finally awake. I suddenly couldn't detect your soul consciousness just now.]
The system's voice, unusually carrying a hint of humanized anxiety and relief, spoke. The masks in the mental space also chattered noisily.
'To be able to take your soul without a sound is no longer something a human can achieve,' the Ape Mask spoke somberly.
The Fox Mask chimed in, 'I thought it was Her targeting you, but since She admitted your qualification to contend for the Great Dao, She shouldn't have done anything to you.'
[I detected the residual aura of another divine power earlier, not the divine power of the Sea God or the Asura God.]
The Fortune God stated, 'The only unrecorded divine power auras left are the Rakshasa God and the Angel God.'
The Old Man Mask said slowly, 'It must be the Angel God, right? Your soul is not entirely clean after you returned.'
Da Fei Chu roared angrily, 'If I'm dirty, you're dirty too! No, go wash up quickly! That aura is too disgusting, I'm going to vomit!'
In reality, Tang Sui, who was the only one suffering, thought, "..."
The Fortune God grumbled, 'Why are you vomiting? You don't have a physical form right now, so it's the little master who will suffer. Dirty? You've been stepped on so many times, you've been dirty for a long time.'
Da Fei Chu retorted, '? Don't talk nonsense! The one who was stepped on many times was the Ape Mask! He even had close contact with different people!'
The Ape Mask exclaimed, '???'
The Ape Mask was furious, 'Who are you subtly implying is not upholding mask ethics?! It's you who finds it disgusting! You're noble, you're amazing!' Sudan Novel Network
The incessant chatter of the masks made Tang Sui's head buzz. Already not recovered from the aftereffects, she coughed even more desperately.
"Buzz—"
An invisible fluctuation spread from the depths of the profound mental space. The masks, which had been babbling incessantly, seemed to have their lifelines choked. Both their voices and the faint, chaotic murmurs echoing in the dark space abruptly ceased.
[Everyone shut up.]
Three cold mechanical voices rang out. The masks, who had been emotionally arguing, gradually dimmed the lights in their eye sockets, falling silent as if they were chickens.
Physiological tears blurred her vision due to the violent coughing. A dark brown water pouch and concerned pink eyes appeared somewhat distorted in the watery world.
"Sui Sui, have some water."
Xiao Wu knelt on one knee on the back of the Sea God's Great White Shark, patting Tang Sui's back with one hand to help her breathe, while holding a water pouch in the other, waiting for Tang Sui to take it.
After unscrewing the wooden stopper and taking several gulps, Tang Sui stopped drinking and let out a long breath.
Even though her brother had gently returned her consciousness to her body, the aftereffects of being pulled away by the Angel God's soul consciousness were like seasickness followed by accidental drowning, feeling extremely uncomfortable after struggling for a long time before being rescued.
Of course, the influence of the Angel God's power couldn't be ruled out.
Meanwhile, the overflowing, powerful aura gradually receded. Tang San, who was seated on the Great White Shark's back, also slowly opened his eyes, which were immediately noticed by the shark beneath him.
"Lord Tang San, you're awake too!"
Excitement flashed in the Great White Shark's golden eyes.
Dai Mubai and the others looked over upon hearing this. Seeing Tang San with rosy cheeks and a more refined and powerful aura than before, their hearts finally settled.
"Xiao San, how are you feeling? Did you and Sui Sui enter the Twin Resonance state again?" Dai Mubai asked caringly.
Tang San sighed, "Yes and no. It's a long story..."
He recounted his and Tang Sui's experiences in the mental domain. Tang Sui also described her various interactions with Qian Renxue in the space created by the Angel God.
Everyone listened with furrowed brows, and the Great White Shark was also shocked and confused.
"Making someone preparing to attain enlightenment and someone who has already determined 'the Dao' preach to each other, isn't this Angel God thinking too wishfully?"
The Great White Shark wanted to curse them, but considering that deities were usually sensitive to such matters, it decided to be cautious, even though they were in the Sea God's territory.
Dai Mubai snorted, clenching his left fist and hitting his right palm heavily, looking eager to fight, "How dare they mess with Sui Sui! When we complete our assessments and return to land, I'll make the people of the Spirit Empire pay!"
If they couldn't deal with Qian Renxue, couldn't they deal with others in the Spirit Empire?
"Dai Laoda is right. We can't just let Sui Sui being bullied slide." Ning Rongrong's beautiful face turned stern.
Ma Hongjun's fingertips danced with wisps of flame, reflecting a red hue in his pupils, "Exactly. Since their god is so lacking in martial virtue, we don't need to bother with such things. If we meet them after returning,哼, I'll make them experience if my Phoenix flames are hot or not!"
"Fatty, I'm with you this time. I support you burning them with your Phoenix flames!" Oscar gave a thumbs-up to Ma Hongjun, who exuded an aura of dominance, and gave him a like.
Ma Hongjun confidently flicked his dark red hair tips, igniting sparks of flame, "Just you wait, I'll keep my word!"
The banter from his companions eased the somber atmosphere considerably.
Looking at his comrades who were united in their indignation, Tang Sui's heavy heart felt much lighter.
