**Chapter 179: Tang Hao Vomited Blood Repeatedly**
"No, Ah Yin, listen to me!"
"Gu Ziyi really promised me that as long as you're willing to leave with me, he won't stop you!"
"That guy may not be good, but with his status, he definitely won't go back on his word!"
"So, Ah Yin, you don't have to worry anymore. I can really take you away this time."
When Tang Hao heard what Ah Yin said, he suddenly became anxious and hurriedly explained.
"Don't you understand what I mean?"
"I joined the Martial Soul Hall of my own free will, so I will not leave."
She shook her head again and told him seriously.
Tang Hao was stunned when he heard this. Looking at her expression, which didn't seem to be lying, he realized that what Ah Yin said might be true.
"Why?"
He asked back in disbelief.
"Because I cannot accept your feelings, because I don't like you, so I won't leave with you!"
This time, she didn't care whether her words would hurt Tang Hao or not. She had already joined the Martial Soul Hall, so she and he would be people from two different worlds in the future. It was better to make things clear directly.
"No... this is impossible..."
"I don't believe it..."
Hearing this, he took several steps back, his face turning pale.
"Do you really think a hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast like me would fall in love with a human so easily?"
"At your age, how can you have such childish thoughts? You look like a kid!"
"Don't come to me again. I will follow His Holiness the Pope and help him realize his ideals!"
After Ah Yin finished speaking calmly, she turned around and left without waiting for his response.
Seeing his beloved walk away, Tang Hao felt so heartbroken that he could barely breathe.
Just as Ah Yin suddenly stopped, hope surged in his heart once again:
"If you truly like me, please don't disturb my life anymore. People here don't know my true identity, and I don't want that to change. I don't want to be treated as an outsider!"
It was a pity that her words were not to reconsider staying with him, but rather to ask him never to seek her out again.
"Puff~"
Tang Hao, who had initially thought there was still hope, who had believed she might reconsider her decision to stay, spat out a mouthful of blood as his last glimmer of hope was shattered.
"Ah Yin..."
Tang Hao never expected his love to be so cruel. Not only did she refuse to leave with him, but she even asked him to never bother her again.
"Puff~"
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't accept this reality. He opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood.
"In any case, please don't bother me again in the future. I don't want His Holiness the Pope to misunderstand me!"
When Ah Yin saw his expression, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, but she knew she had to be decisive. So after saying her final words, she left without looking back.
"..."
Watching the back of his first love disappear, Tang Hao once again felt so suffocated that he couldn't breathe.
Especially her last words—she didn't want Gu Ziyi to misunderstand her.
What did that mean?
Could it be that Ah Yin had fallen for someone else?
"Puff~"
At that thought, Tang Hao couldn't help but vomit blood once more.
In the end, he left in utter despair.
He simply felt empty inside, and on top of that, he discovered that Ah Yin had never liked him.
It turned out that everything had just been an illusion of his.
However, if it weren't for the Martial Soul Hall and Gu Ziyi, he believed that given some time, Ah Yin would definitely have been able to accept him.
She had promised to think about their relationship.
It was only because she had now joined the Martial Soul Hall that there was no longer any possibility of a future between them.
"It's all the fault of the Martial Soul Hall!"
"And that meddler, Gu Ziyi!"
Tang Hao was deeply devastated as he left Spirit City, his heart filled with hatred for the Martial Soul Hall and Gu Ziyi.
'Gu Ziyi and the Martial Soul Hall!'
'Wait for me, I will never let this go!'
'Ah Yin is the woman I love, and I will take her back with my own hands when the time comes!'
Tang Hao turned around and looked at Spirit City with a cold gaze, clenched his fists, and cursed in his heart.
Buzz—
The Death God Domain was involuntarily released from his body, a murderous aura filled the air, and the surrounding temperature dropped.
Buzz—
At that exact moment, Tang Hao suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.
...
When he regained his sight, he was shocked to find himself in a completely unfamiliar place.
It was dark here, even darker than the original Slaughter City. It was like a terrifying underground cave, extremely vast.
It was dark everywhere, and Tang Hao had no idea how large this space was.
Gurgle~
Gurgle~
Directly ahead of him, Tang Hao saw a massive pool of blood. Just one look at it, and he felt his Death God Domain being uncontrollably released from his body.
"What is this place?"
"How did I get here?"
Tang Hao was momentarily confused and felt a bit uneasy.
This place really gave people a bad feeling!
[Are you willing to accept my trial?]
At that moment, a voice echoed in Tang Hao's mind.
He looked up in horror, only to discover that a tall and mysterious figure had appeared above the pool of blood.
He tried hard to see the person clearly but found that he couldn't make out their appearance.
"Who are you?"
Tang Hao asked cautiously.
[I am the God Rakshasa!]
That voice echoed in his mind once again.
Then he realized what kind of opportunity he had stumbled upon. He had actually been noticed by a god.
His grandfather had told him about this before leaving.
Therefore, Tang Hao also knew that the legend of reaching Level 100 and becoming a god was true.
"If I complete all the trials, I can surpass Level 100 and become a god, right?"
He didn't care if the environment was dark or made him uncomfortable; he quickly asked the figure in front of him.
[Naturally!]
Rakshasa answered affirmatively.
Then, God Rakshasa said nothing more but waited for his response.
Looking at Tang Hao in front of him, God Rakshasa was quite satisfied.
In his opinion, his qualifications could be considered very good.
In fact, the first person he had paid attention to was Tang Chen.
However, for those who want to obtain his inheritance, the requirement is a bit special—the person must have enough negative emotions in their heart.
Someone as open-minded as Tang Chen was naturally not someone he would consider.
He then noticed Tang Hao and Bibi Dong. Besides wanting to destroy the divine inheritance of God Shura, his goal was also to seize the other party's heir.
He, who had always been at odds with God Shura in the Divine Realm, had long wanted to leave this Divine Realm!
Despite that, before he could leave, he wanted revenge.
Destroying the divine inheritance of God Shura and seizing the other party's heir—either one would be his revenge against the King of Gods.
He knew that Tang Chen had mastered the Death Domain in the Slaughter City last time. Initially, he thought Tang Chen would be able to pass the divine inheritance assessment of God Shura.
However, he did not expect that God Shura would only give Tang Chen the Eight Divine Tests instead of his Nine Divine Tests.
So there was no need for him to interfere.
After that, out of curiosity, he continued to observe the other two people, Bibi Dong and Tang Hao, who had obtained the Death God's Domain.
Then he discovered that he could not understand the situation of the girl.
In an instant, God Rakshasa guessed that God Shura had actually given Bibi Dong the divine inheritance assessment.
He didn't know when this had happened.
God Rakshasa could only secretly curse God Shura for being so cunning.
Originally, he had planned to wait for the girl to return to the Slaughter City before interfering with her assessment.
Even so, he did not expect that Tang Hao's transformation would catch his eye.
The negative emotions possessed by the other party had already met the requirements to pass his divine inheritance assessment.
So God Rakshasa directly approached him with an offer.
Rather than waiting for Bibi Dong to return to the Slaughter City and then destroying her inheritance, it would be better to pass on the God's Throne.
The best thing would be to let Tang Hao inherit his throne as soon as possible, then have him deal with Bibi Dong and destroy the divine inheritance of God Shura.
At that moment, regardless of success or failure, once he had passed on his divine throne, he could leave this Divine Realm first.
He didn't care what would happen to Tang Hao in the end.
"I accept!"
Tang Hao had no idea about God Rakshasa's plan for him. After receiving Rakshasa's answer, he immediately agreed excitedly.
This was a divine inheritance. He would be a fool to refuse.
Moreover, he wanted revenge against the Martial Soul Hall and Gu Ziyi, and right in front of him was a golden opportunity!
Although he was initially filled with rage and had sworn vengeance against the Martial Soul Hall and Gu Ziyi, deep down, he was well aware of the truth.
With the strength of the Martial Soul Hall and the incredible talent demonstrated by Gu Ziyi…
It was almost impossible for him to take revenge in this lifetime.
But now, things were different!
As long as he completed the divine inheritance test of God Rakshasa and became a full-fledged god, he would be able to take revenge on the Martial Soul Hall and Gu Ziyi.
'Ah Yin, just wait! I will definitely rescue you from the Martial Soul Hall!'
Tang Hao swore excitedly in his heart.
Buzz—
As he finished thinking about his promise to his beloved, God Rakshasa simply bestowed his Nine Divine Trials upon Tang Hao.
A total of nine black and purple cards appeared before Tang Hao, one by one.
Finally, they all entered his mind, allowing him to summon them whenever he needed to check the trial tasks.
Then, a scythe mark was imprinted on Tang Hao's forehead.
With that, God Rakshasa's divine consciousness disappeared.
"Hahahaha…
"Good, very good!!!"
"Gu Ziyi, just wait for me. I will definitely come for you in the future!"
Tang Hao, now having received the Nine Divine Trials of God Rakshasa, could no longer suppress his laughter and burst into a maniacal laugh toward the sky.
He failed to realize that after accepting the Nine Divine Trials, his Soul Power was gradually being eroded by the evil thoughts of God Rakshasa.
...
The Divine Realm.
"He actually granted the Nine Divine Trials?"
What God Rakshasa didn't know was that the moment he bestowed his trials upon Tang Hao, God Shura in the Divine Realm became immediately aware of it.
Not to mention, this time, even God Shura knew exactly what God Rakshasa had done in the Slaughter City.
However, he was too indifferent to care.
God Rakshasa was merely stirring up some trouble for him, which could also be considered a divine test for his chosen successor.
Therefore, God Shura always turned a blind eye to the little tricks of God Rakshasa, pretending not to notice them.
After all, everything was within his control.
For example, this time, just as God Rakshasa was able to keep an eye on Tang Hao through the arrangements he had left in the Slaughter City, why couldn't God Shura also use the Death God's Domain to monitor Tang Hao's situation?
"That guy Tang Hao has pretty good talent, but he's far inferior to Bibi Dong!"
"Even if he wants to complete the trials quickly, he may not be able to do so faster than the one I chose—Bibi Dong."
God Shura murmured his thoughts before stopping his observations.
As for Bibi Dong's divine trials, he decided to stick to his original plan.
If Rakshasa cheated and allowed Tang Hao to complete the trial ahead of schedule, God Shura still had a backup plan.
As long as the girl satisfied him, he would definitely ensure that she successfully completed his Nine Divine Trials.
In the original novel, after Tang Chen was ambushed, God Shura turned a blind eye. Perhaps there was something about Tang Chen that displeased him!
Otherwise, considering that Tang Chen had already completed the first eight divine trials, it was impossible for God Shura not to be aware of his successor's situation.
The seventh divine trial was to draw the divine weapon, and the eighth was a task specifically customized by the gods for the examinee.
...
"Your Holiness, I have already made things clear to him and told him not to come after me again!"
After clarifying everything with Tang Hao, Ah Yin went to the Papal Palace to meet Gu Ziyi and told him what had happened.
"Your Holiness, rest assured. Since I have decided to join the Martial Soul Hall, I will definitely not leave!"
"I also hope to help Your Majesty realize the ideal of peaceful coexistence between Soul Beasts and Soul Masters in the future!"
Ah Yin then reaffirmed her resolve.
"Good, I believe in you!"
"I knew you wouldn't go with him, so I figured you would ask him to leave and make him give up on you completely!"
After hearing what Ah Yin said, Gu Ziyi immediately smiled and revealed his thoughts.
"Yes, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
"I was the one who brought trouble to the Martial Soul Hall!"
When Ah Yin heard that he trusted her, she suddenly felt very happy but also a little guilty.
She also knew that Tang Hao had a special identity, which was why he dared to approach Gu Ziyi directly.
This problem was obviously caused by her for His Holiness.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Ah Yin, are you adapting well to the Martial Soul Hall Academy?"
Gu Ziyi waved his hand, stopping the discussion about Tang Hao, and turned to ask about her.
"Yes, I'm doing well!"
"And after entering the Martial Soul Hall Academy, because I have been in contact with enough humans, and since they are all elite Soul Masters, my training speed has doubled!"
Hearing his concern, she quickly spoke, excited about her progress in cultivation.
"That's good. It looks like in a few years, by the time of the Soul Master Competition, you will definitely surpass Level 50 and become a Soul King!"
"Then Ah Yin will bring another victory to our Martial Soul Hall Academy!"
He was also pleased to hear about her cultivation progress.
From this perspective, Ah Yin will definitely be able to reach maturity faster than her canonical counterpart.
"Yes, I will definitely succeed!"
Ah Yin said confidently.
Although she had only been at the Martial Soul Hall Academy for half a month, she successfully joined the academy team with her own strength.
"I still don't know your strength, Ah Yin. Today I'm free, so let me see your abilities!"
"Maybe I can give you some pointers on how to use your soul skills!"
Gu Ziyi couldn't help but want to assess her strength when he saw her confident look.
"Okay!"
Ah Yin's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she immediately agreed joyfully to his suggestion.
