Chapter 618: New Ascend God Seed! Frog at the Bottom of the Well!

We won!

Su Yang and his dependents all saw this report flash in their minds.

But for some reason.

Seeing Li Xin dead, there was not much joy in his heart.

There was only shock and confusion.

Tang Youning lost the gamble, and his face showed not a hint of dejection; instead, he let out a snarling laugh,

"The one who interfered with our gamble finally died; now the showdown between you and me begins!"

Su Yang heard this, expressionless, said calmly, "So you are now the new Ascend God Seed."

What?!

With those words, everyone instantly understood.

Xi Jun slapped his head, suddenly realizing, "I should have thought of it earlier: the Ascend God Seed can wield the lives of dependents!"

Ximen Zhirou furrowed his brow, "So… Tang Youning has taken the magpie's nest, seized Li Xin's position and then exercised the power of life and death, imposing a Fire execution on him!"

"What grudge or resentment requires this, and no matter how you say Li Xin contributed Faith Value to the team, how is what he did any different from cutting off his own arms?" Luo Shuangshuang was puzzled.

"Who knows? I've long said that Tang Youning is already mad," Lin Yang said in a deep voice.

No one can fathom a madman's thoughts.

But one thing is certain: once Tang Youning obtains the great power, he will inevitably launch reckless retaliation.

The retaliation is for Su Yang's countless humiliations and mockeries of him in the Death Game.

Of course, he also pins the blame for his dead wife onto Su Yang.

Having harbored resentment for a long time, he will certainly not miss any opportunity.

Tang Youning looked at Su Yang's eyes full of pity, and anger rose in his heart, "Put away that damned look; I'm now on equal footing with you, you have no right to look at me that way!"

"The pitied have something hateful; I now understand that principle," Su Yang slowly shook his head.

"Pitied?" Tang Youning looked up and laughed loudly, then stared into Su Yang's eyes, saying coldly, "Who knows who the pitied one is."

"Su Yang, I tell you, you are no longer that commanding, lofty figure in the Second Stage Prison; this world is countless times broader than your frog‑at‑the‑bottom‑of‑the‑well imagination!"

"Your few tricks and tactics are child's play against a true powerhouse!"

"From now on, I will show you with concrete action that only those who adapt to the environment are qualified to become superior beings!"

"And you will eventually become the stepping stone on my path to the Divine Throne!"

"Li Xin, that useless one, has such a narrow outlook, hides all our Faith Value for himself alone, leaving us constantly under the threat of a Curse."

"What use are such selfish, self‑serving people who only think of self‑preservation in a crisis?"

"Today I act on behalf of Heaven, cutting out the source of disaster!"

"Su Yang, wait, in the near future, this will also be your fate!"

"I, Tang… say it and do it!"

The resonant, powerful declaration moved and changed the color of everyone around.

Such blunt provocation was unheard of to them.

The big guy, being in the same prison, is indeed a potential rival by logic.

But after all, he's a player from the same prison, so he'll restrain himself somewhat.

Many things, when placed on the table, change in flavor.

Tang Youning's move undoubtedly pushes Su Yang's entire team to the forefront of danger.

The competition shifts from random matching to a one‑on‑one life‑or‑death duel.

"Do they have a grudge?" Huang Hua looked at Yin Yun.

"As far as I know, it's Tang Youning who harbors a one‑sided hatred toward Su Yang; he never considered the other side at all," Yin Yun explained.

"I didn't expect the Su Seed, who talks about cutting the grass to get to the root, to actually let the enemy clear the game," Huang Hua said with interest.

"Due to the rules, he couldn't either," Yin Yun said.

"The original prison erected a barrier between players; after the Buffer Period when they could move freely, humanity's inherent flaws became fully exposed," Huang Hua whispered.

"What have you 'Deduction' produced?" Yin Yun asked.

"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed," Huang Hua smiled mysteriously.

Yin Yun curled his lip and refocused his gaze on Su Yang.

After Tang Youning's speech, Lin Yang's group all showed strange expressions.

"Frog at the bottom of the well?" Jiang Chengyu suppressed a laugh, "He wouldn't be talking about himself, would he?"

"Narrow outlook?" Lin Yang scoffed, "Su Yang never even considered him; this guy jumps around like a leaping clown, making himself look all mighty."

"He even knows about the Divine Throne, it seems he's gathered a lot of Intelligence in the game; no wonder he suddenly has such confidence," Qin Weiyang snorted.

Facing Tang Youning's provocation, Su Yang said calmly, "I await at any time, but…"

"First, figure out your own position; gaining power once does not guarantee you'll reach the summit."

"Li Xin deserves death, but you're not any better."

"You constantly shift your own mistakes onto others, lacking the courage to face yourself; you are unfit to be my opponent."

"Moreover, the so‑called outlook you speak of is merely a self‑indulgent fantasy."

"The world I understand is countless times broader than the world you perceive."

"You learn a new word and start showing off, not even understanding restraint; your style…"

"Destined not to go far!"

Tang Youning heard Su Yang's sarcasm without changing expression, still snarling, "Then we shall see!"

"Be my guest," Su Yang said, turning and entering the Villa.

Lin Yang and the others hurriedly followed, disappearing from everyone's sight without looking back.

The people around them felt a bit regretful and said, "We thought they would fight; what a wasted excitement."

"Are you stupid? Who would dare start a fight here?"

"Let's go, let's go, there's nothing left to watch."

When everyone had returned to their own residences, Tang Youning's gaze fell on the charred corpse in the middle of the street.

"Throw it into the sea, feed the fish!"

———

Inside the Villa.

Lin Yang, filled with righteous anger, said, "We didn't look for him, yet he kicked the Nose and raised his face."

Su Yang said, "Once a person obtains power, their mindset unconsciously changes, and Tang Youning has been waiting for the chance; turning the tables to become the master naturally unleashes his nature."

Xi Jun waved his hand and said, "The petty man is merely emboldened; it's nothing to fear."

However, Jiang Chengyu beside them held a different opinion, "I have a vague feeling the matter isn't that simple; you and I have both witnessed Li Xin's methods—he isn't a fool, and he shouldn't be so easily defeated."

Ximen Zhirou said, "The Death Game changes in an instant; who can guarantee they remain an evergreen?"

"I understand the reasoning, but why would he provoke a declaration of war face‑to‑face? Moreover, Li Xin's actions seem more like …"

"A deliberately staged good show for the big guy!" Jiang Chengyu's expression grew slightly solemn.

Tang Youning's recent behavior was somewhat like a child who, after being provoked, couldn't help but strike back immediately.

But upon closer thought, it seemed there was something fishy.
