If he were merely an Asura God, while Gu Yuena was a Dragon God,
the Dragon God would have outclassed the Asura God.
Then Gu Yuena would be the one to ride over him. How could he possibly accept that? Although he didn't mind Gu Yuena taking initiative, he preferred to be the one on top.
Therefore, his godhood had to be at least on par with that of the Dragon God.
In a few days, when his strength was nearly there, the System Miss would tell him how to become a god. By then, he believed that he would easily surpass the Asura God.
The Asura God was formidable, but that was in the eyes of others. Xu Ran had loftier aspirations.
"Xu Ran, do you realize what you are doing? You won't have such an opportunity again," the Asura God said angrily. He couldn't understand why Xu Ran would refuse him.
Now, in the entire Divine Realm, of the five great Divine Kings, only he wished to abdicate in search of a successor.
If Xu Ran did not choose him, Xu Ran would never have the chance to inherit a God-King Level Divine Position. What use were First-Level Gods and Second-Level Gods? He could not grasp why Xu Ran had suddenly become so stubborn; he was somewhat disappointed in him, like hating that iron could not turn to steel.
"I'm well aware. That's exactly why I'm refusing," Xu Ran said earnestly. He stood up straight, resolutely refusing.
"You!"
The Asura God was furious, and an overwhelming authority emerged from him, pressing down on Xu Ran.
He hoped Xu Ran would change his mind.
He had never taken such a liking to someone before. Such an inheritor was absolutely perfect in his eyes.
He hoped that his successor would continue to possess unrivaled strength in the Divine Realm, commanding Slaughter and suppressing all else.
Only Xu Ran perfectly met his expectations at present.
Xu Ran stood there, an equally powerful aura emanating from him, giving no ground.
For a long while, the two stood in deadlock.
"Why? I need an explanation?"
"Do you think my Asura Godhood is unworthy of you?"
The Asura God heaved a sigh; he couldn't fathom what Xu Ran was thinking.
If he were Xu Ran, he would definitely have agreed. The power of the Slaughter-controlling Asura God was second to none in the Divine Realm.
Xu Ran, being so intelligent, must be aware of this fact.
"I have my own path to follow."
"The Asura God is indeed powerful, but after all, it is someone else's godhood. I dislike inheriting things from others. I prefer to create," Xu Ran said indifferently.
"You want to create your own godhood?" the Asura God was shocked.
He hadn't expected Xu Ran to make such a choice.
"Perhaps," Xu Ran said, smiling.
"But this path may be impossible to follow. Although the godhoods in the Divine Realm are ever-expanding, they are ultimately created by the Divine Realm's mightiest who distill these attributes of divine power and then choose suitable people to become gods. It's a top-down approach. But you are trying to do it from the bottom up," the Asura God was somewhat disillusioned. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But at this moment, he was at a loss for words.
Yes, the existing godhoods were, after all, created by others, and they were not one's own.
Only what one creates for oneself is the best, even if it might not succeed or might be weak.
"How can I know if it will succeed if I don't try?" Xu Ran retorted, looking at the Asura God.
He felt he was a bit pretentious, and although it may seem like he was just showing off, in actuality, it was still all about the System.
The System Miss is truly marvelous.
System Miss, the eternal god!
"In this world, there was originally no path, but as more people walked, a path was created," Xu Ran continued.
"So that's how it is," the Asura God reflected upon Xu Ran's words and suddenly experienced a moment of enlightenment. Although the sentence was simple, it struck right to the heart of the matter. Xu Ran's path was destined to be difficult because he aimed to forge his own path.
Xu Ran needed to cut through the brambles and carve out a path for himself.
But just as Xu Ran said, there were originally no paths in this world. What others couldn't do, Xu Ran might still achieve.
Thinking of this, a look of admiration couldn't help but appear in the eyes of the Asura God.
Xu Ran was walking a path even he did not dare to tread.
Even though he was the Asura God, proud throughout his life, he also did not dare to contemplate these nearly impossible tasks.
But Xu Ran dared to think and act, even facing the temptation of a God-King Level inheritance without wavering.
Such a person, even if currently not strong, still earned his respect. This had nothing to do with strength, but was a quality—a quality he had only seen in Xu Ran.
There was something about Xu Ran that was so aspiring. Perhaps only someone like Xu Ran could give up such temptations and choose such a challenging path.
"I wish you success," the Asura God refrained from pressuring any further. Moreover, he was somewhat expectant; he wanted to see if Xu Ran could succeed. Xu Ran was an unpredictable factor; he had created many miracles, and maybe this time Xu Ran could succeed as well.
"Xu Ran, no matter when, I will support you," Bi Bidong held Xu Ran's hand, standing by his side. Through thick and thin, regardless of the choices Xu Ran made, she would accompany him.
Even if Xu Ran could not become a god in the end, she would still accompany him.
Accompany him through life, aging, sickness, and death.
"Asura God, I have a suggestion regarding your Inheritor," Xu Ran nodded at Bi Bidong, then turned to the Asura God.
He had come this time to provide Bi Bidong with the opportunity to inherit from the Asura God. As long as she received the inheritance, with Bi Bidong's talent, inheriting from the Asura God would not be difficult. After all, Xu Ran was by her side, always ready to help her.
"What do you mean?"
The Asura God looked at Bi Bidong, a playful smile appearing on his face.
He was, of course, well aware of the relationship between Xu Ran and Bi Bidong. The two were so intimate; they must be lovers.
But Xu Ran was truly remarkable; whether it be naive young girls or voluptuous mature women, none could escape his grasp. However, considering Xu Ran's youth, his openness in this regard was quite normal.
The fact that so many women were devoted to Xu Ran was indeed one of his abilities.
"Dong'er is the Killing God of Slaughter City, and what's more, she has Twin Martial Souls. Her talent is a rare occurrence on the Continent once in a thousand years. Since you are choosing an Inheritor, why not consider whether Dong'er is suitable?"
The Asura God nodded.
Bi Bidong's talent was indeed among the strongest.
Apart from the anomaly Xu Ran, Bi Bidong's talents and charm were the most remarkable in the entire Continent. Moreover, Bi Bidong has presided over the Martial Soul Hall for many years, possessing the temperament of a high-ranking leader.
"Alright, I will give Xu Ran this face."
"However, my inheritance also comes with divine trials, and if the trial is failed, don't blame me," said the Asura God. A surge of Asura energy then entered Bi Bidong's body from him, and the Asura God disappeared.
For the Asura God, even if Xu Ran was an impossibility, Xu Ran's wife, Bi Bidong, was not a bad choice. At least there was a connection with Xu Ran.
Moreover, Bi Bidong's talent was already rare in the present world.
