Chapter 333: The Correct Use of "Heaven and Earth as My Law"
"That kind is called a false god, and can't be considered a true deity."
Kong spoke calmly.
A god who only accepts worship and faith but gives no response or blessing—isn't that just a false god?
Better not to worship at all!
It was the same back on Blue Star. If the god you prayed to didn't deliver results that year, you just switched to another openly. Whoever worked, whoever was "effective," that's who you prayed to!
Hearing this, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan were a little confused. Was this something they were supposed to understand?
"Your Pope should be close to becoming a god too. You'll understand soon enough."
Kong said this with an unchanged expression, as if it were a simple matter.
"The Pope (Teacher) becoming a god?"
The three were shocked. If someone else had said it, even if they respected Bibi Dong, they would have had doubts. But this was Kong saying it!
Would a god lie to them?
They genuinely hadn't known this. Even Hu Liena didn't know!
Before becoming a god, Bibi Dong would never go around publicizing something like this.
She still had to endure three more heavenly tribulations. Once she completed the soul rings for her second spirit, she'd be close to inheriting the position of Rakshasa God.
"Kong… Thunder God King, um, how long before Teacher becomes a god?"
Hu Liena asked curiously. After all, this was about a god!
Right now, on the entire Douluo Continent, the only known deity was Kong.
And her teacher was about to become the second one!
Yu Yuanzhen: "..."
So you're just not going to acknowledge this godly successor standing right here?
"Probably… at most two years."
Kong thought for a moment before replying.
He wasn't exactly clear on Bibi Dong's current progress, but it would definitely be much faster than in the original story.
As for Qian Renxue, her pace would likely be slower than in the original, since she'd become the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire—and that was a busy job.
Still, it wasn't a big deal. Whether early or late, she would become a god. It was already destined.
Upon hearing this, the trio's faces lit up. The Spirit Hall was about to welcome its own deity!
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...
Cough cough, they're still standing right here!
Some things are better left unsaid in front of others.
"By the way, what are you all doing here?"
The sect tournament was still ongoing—were they this free?
Strolling around the streets instead?
Not watching the battles between the "powerhouses"?
Countless soul masters would kill to witness such scenes!
"Uh…"
The three of them were stunned. After exchanging glances, they shook their heads and said, "Apologies, that's a secret. We can't tell you…"
Even though Kong looked younger than them, they still had to use the respectful form of address—you—to show deference.
The weak must be conscious of their own weakness.
Charging in blindly would only lead to their own destruction, with nothing to gain.
"I see. My apologies for asking. You all go on ahead, we'll keep browsing."
Kong nodded without pressing further.
There was no point in digging deeper. If he truly wanted to know, he wouldn't even need to ask.
But he wasn't that kind of person.
"Understood, Thunder God King, farewell!"
The three cupped their hands in salute and turned to leave.
After exiting Spirit City, they circled the surrounding area twice.
"Nana, does doing this really have any point?"
Exactly. Walking around in circles like this was meaningless. If Kong wanted to know, they wouldn't be able to hide it anyway.
"It's meaningless, but we have to do it."
Hu Liena shook her head.
Did she not know it was meaningless?
Even Yan understood it—how could she not?
Yan: "0.0"
"Guard against gentlemen, not villains. Let's go…"
After saying this, Hu Liena turned and walked toward their destination.
"???"
"Let's go, Yan. Even if Kong isn't that kind of person, we still have to be cautious."
Xie Yue patted Yan's shoulder and spoke.
Then he followed after Hu Liena.
Their trip had only one goal: to keep an eye on someone, to make sure he didn't run away or die. It was just that simple.
But… that person's identity was a bit awkward…
This was also why Hu Liena and the others couldn't say anything.
Who knew if Kong would get angry…
There was also the demigod Yu Yuanzhen to consider—after all, that person was his son.
Yu Xiaogang had already been relocated by people sent by Bibi Dong. He wasn't in the secret chamber of the Pope's Hall at all.
She had only done this after learning Yu Yuanzhen had become a demigod.
If Yu Xiaogang's presence were discovered, it could lead to unnecessary trouble.
After the Sect Tournament ended, he would be brought back.
She was determined to make Yu Xiaogang pay the price, no matter whose son he was!
The fact that she hadn't already attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was her greatest mercy.
On Kong's side—
He continued shopping with Raiden Shogun and Ei until the day's matches were over. Only then did the three of them return to the hotel.
As soon as they entered, they vanished from the room and reappeared in the Heart-Purified Land.
Battle was imminent.
The current Kong was no longer who he used to be.
His "combat ability" was now on par with Raiden Shogun and Ei.
That might be the only thing that comforted Kong after becoming a god.
Before, well—talking about it just brought tears. He had never won, not once!
Now it was different. Though he still couldn't win, he couldn't lose either.
Not losing was as good as winning!
"Dear husband, your skills have improved greatly."
Raiden Shogun turned her head slightly, a faint blush on her face as she spoke.
In her eyes, Kong's "technique" had indeed improved a lot. Now he could even spar with both her and Ei.
And the matches ended in a draw.
The rate of progress was truly terrifying.
"Heh heh…"
"My dear Shogun wife, I just discovered that one of my skills evolved recently!"
Kong spoke with a smile, eyes narrowing.
"Husband, what skill is it?"
Ei asked curiously, unable to hold back.
Raiden Shogun didn't say anything, but her gaze was filled with anticipation. Clearly, she also wanted to know.
"Since you both want to know, then let me show you!"
"Heaven and Earth as My Law!"
With a loud shout, what once only allowed him to enlarge his right hand had now evolved into Heaven and Earth as My Law!
Kong's body suddenly expanded…
Raiden Shogun and Ei froze, staring at the towering figure before them, momentarily unable to react.
Was… was something wrong?
It was just an enlarged body…
As the two were still confused and dazed, Kong returned to his original size.
"Heh heh, besides turning into a giant, I can also enlarge individual body parts…"
"Look!"
He enlarged his left hand, while the rest of his body remained unchanged.
Then the right hand, left leg, right leg…
And the middle leg…
"???"
Raiden Shogun and Ei were both dumbfounded, glancing at Kong with expressions that suggested they wanted to speak but didn't know how…
This skill really was… terrifying beyond belief!
Kong actually…
