Chapter 341: Tang Chen's Sacrifice and Resurrection
"It's related to temperament?"
Yu Yuanzhen was momentarily stunned, then nodded solemnly.
"Thank you for the guidance, senior."
"Mm. No more nonsense."
"Let's begin."
As Tang Chen finished speaking, his entire aura suddenly shifted. His previously aged appearance began to reverse at a speed visible to the naked eye. His crimson hair whipped in the air, and a suit of blood-red battle armor manifested on his body.
He now looked like a spirited man in his thirties, full of vitality.
But everyone present knew—this was his final flare before death.
"Xixi… goodbye."
As those words fell, the red light around Tang Chen grew increasingly intense. The soul power cyclone generated from his body caused Yu Luomian and the others to pale.
So this was the strength of a demigod?
It was on an entirely different level compared to a Titled Douluo.
"Chen!"
Bo Saixi finally couldn't hold back and called out.
Tang Chen could no longer speak, but he was smiling—because, just as he had hoped, the Sea God Temple had opened!
His lips moved silently, but no words came out. In the end, he could only give a bitter, helpless smile.
His body had long been battered and beyond saving.
At this moment, under the combined force of soul power and divine power, his form slowly began to dissipate...
Just as everyone sank into sorrow, a faint flash of purple lightning flickered across Tang Chen's body.
Bo Saixi rubbed her tear-filled eyes.
Had she been mistaken?
Was it an illusion?
Right then, a young man in beach shorts, a tank top, and flip-flops suddenly appeared before them.
Wearing a light smile, he spoke casually to himself, "Didn't expect to arrive so early... Looks like this was Senior Tang Chen's choice."
"Oh, right—Senior Bo Saixi, are you planning to follow Tang Chen into the world of the dead, or shall I revive him so the two of you can be together again?"
Kong spoke unhurriedly.
As if suddenly remembering something, he turned to the slightly dazed Yu Yuanzhen and added, "Grandpa, why are you still standing there? Go on in. I'll handle things here. Don't worry—no matter what, Senior Tang Chen will meet a good end."
"Ah? Oh!"
Yu Yuanzhen snapped out of it, nodded quickly, and rushed toward the gate.
"???"
"Young Sect Master?!"
"You… Are you the God King of Thunder?"
Bo Saixi was stunned. This was her first time seeing Kong.
On the entire Douluo Continent, the only one who could enter the Sea God Temple silently and completely evade her perception was Kong.
"Yes, Senior."
Kong gave a faint smile and replied.
"Lord God King of Thunder… Can Chen… really be revived?"
Bo Saixi wiped her tears, her face filled with hope.
As for following Tang Chen into the afterlife...
Why die when you could live?
That option was directly tossed aside.
"If it were Poseidon, He could only let you reunite in the world of the dead."
"He wouldn't even need my help. After you watched over Sea God Island for so long, He would've helped you both."
"But if I step in—naturally, I can bring Tang Chen back to life."
At those words, everyone exchanged stunned glances.
"Of course, reviving him comes with one condition."
"What condition?! Even if I must die, I will accept it!"
Bo Saixi clung to those words like a lifeline and replied without hesitation.
She didn't even think about what kind of condition Kong might ask for.
"Haha… Senior Bo Saixi, don't joke. If you were to die, wouldn't that make all this meaningless?"
"You just need to agree to one thing—never set foot on the Douluo Continent again."
Kong spoke bluntly.
Seeing this, Yu Luomian and the others understood Kong's determination, and any thoughts they had were quickly dispelled.
"I agree—and I'll convince Chen to agree too!"
Bo Saixi nodded immediately. She had spent nearly her entire life on Sea God Island. Why would she care about returning to the Douluo Continent?
"Good."
Kong said no more. With a wave of his hand, a young version of "Tang Chen" appeared before everyone.
It was a puppet—not something crafted by a shogun or by Ei, but made by Kong himself.
A puppet without a soul was ridiculously easy to create.
Tang Chen's original body had already dissipated into the wind. Even if one were to reconstruct a new body, it wouldn't be more suitable than this puppet.
Kong reached into the void, and Tang Chen's soul appeared before them.
Although he couldn't speak, his expression made it clear—he was completely confused.
"???"
Tang Chen blinked, looking at the familiar faces around him, then at the puppet floating in the air...
"Go on, Senior Tang Chen."
As Kong's voice fell, under Bo Saixi's anxious gaze, Tang Chen's soul merged with the puppet.
Moments later, Tang Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Huh? Didn't I die?"
"Xixi, why are your eyes all red from crying?!"
"Chen…"
"Thank you, Lord God King of Thunder!"
Bo Saixi quickly turned to Kong to express her gratitude, even moving to kneel—but an invisible force stopped her.
"Senior Bo Saixi, no need for thanks."
"Senior Tang Chen helped my grandfather unlock the Ninth Trial. In return, I revived him. Let's call it an even trade."
Kong waved his hand as he spoke.
"God King of Thunder, that's not quite right."
Tang Chen shook his head and said, "I know my condition better than anyone. With your strength, opening this temple unharmed wouldn't have been difficult."
"In the end, I still owe you."
Seeing the situation, Tang Chen quickly understood what had happened.
That damn Tang Hao… He actually dared… dared to assassinate such a deity!
Slap!
With a loud smack, Tang Chen slapped himself across the face, leaving everyone in the room stunned.
This senior had just been revived—what was going on?
"Lord God King of Thunder, I apologize. What Tang Hao did was his own doing. I failed to discipline him and made the wrong choice in choosing a successor…"
Kong was a bit surprised. How had Tang Chen already learned about that?
Then it hit him—of course!
The old man Qian Daoliu had visited Sea God Island not long ago…
"Tang Hao is Tang Hao. Tang Chen is Tang Chen."
"Senior, you don't need to blame yourself. Oh, and there's one more thing Senior Bo Saixi already agreed to."
"Oh?"
Tang Chen looked at Kong in confusion, then turned to Bo Saixi, clearly puzzled.
"Chen, I promised the God King of Thunder on your behalf. That you would never return to the Douluo Continent—for that, he brought you back to life."
Bo Saixi explained.
"I see. It doesn't matter. I was already supposed to be dead. As long as Xixi is with me, going back or not makes no difference."
"It's a pity I won't be able to show you the Douluo Continent."
Tang Chen thought for a moment and spoke calmly.
"Senior Tang Chen, Senior Bo Saixi—if you grow tired of Sea God Island's scenery, you could visit another continent..."
"Another continent??"
