However, Tang Wulin's brow furrowed, "Commander, Blood One has just sacrificed himself, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Although he was excited to become an official War God, he didn't want it to be this way!
Zhang Huanyun just looked at him deeply, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Although Blood One has fallen, the Blood God Camp and the Blood God Army continue to exist. They will not cease their duty to guard the abyss because of his passing!
"This, I hope every one of you Blood Gods remembers clearly!"
Perhaps only then, could Blood One rest in peace beneath the nine springs...
Seeing this, Tang Wulin didn't say much else, earnestly responding, "I understand, Commander! I will fulfill the responsibilities of a Blood God!"
Only then did Zhang Huanyun stand up, "The matters are all explained, so I will take my leave now!"
With that, he left the Blood God Camp's hall with his hands clasped behind his back...
The stooping figure, not at all resembling that of a veteran Limit Douluo, seemed more like an empty-nester who had lost everything!
Blood Three, who witnessed this scene, sighed, "Blood One and Commander Zhang had a life-and-death friendship. The blow he's taken is no less than ours, sigh!"
Blood Four closed his eyes, "Blood One was the mainstay of our Blood God Camp, and now he has perished. What does the future hold for us!"
Blood Five, however, spoke word by word, "Let's all cheer up. Blood One was willing to sacrifice himself to seal the abyss because he trusted that we could handle the aftermath. We absolutely cannot disappoint him!"
Blood Eight suddenly chimed in, "That's right, Blood Five is correct. We should cheer up. The abyss may be sealed, but who can guarantee there won't be any mishaps in the future!"
Only Blood Seven, breaking his usual playful demeanor, patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder and said with some guilt, "Wulin, no, it should be Blood Nine now. There should have been a ceremony for the new Blood God's inauguration, but you see the current situation. Everyone's emotions are unstable, so we can only wrong you this time!"
Tang Wulin shook his head, explaining, "It's okay, I don't mind these things. Right now, what's most important is to help everyone recover from this blow!"
Little did he know, that statement made the Blood Gods present truly acknowledge his status as "Blood Nine" from the bottom of their hearts!
...
After leaving the Blood God Camp hall, Tang Wulin found Gu Yue waiting outside!
As Gu Yue looked him over, she asked in confusion, "Wulin, how did it go?"
Tang Wulin answered solemnly, "Blood One has perished. Blood Two has replaced his position, and I have thus become an official Blood God, or Blood Nine!"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flickered, "Isn't becoming Blood Nine a good thing? Why do you look so unhappy!"
She remembered that Tang Wulin had always regarded "Blood God" as his goal!
Tang Wulin was silent for a few seconds before he replied with a wry smile, "Blood One treated me well, and now he has met such a fate. How can I be happy about it?"
If possible, he would rather not have the title of "Blood Nine" and wish for Blood One to be alive!
But alas, that wasn't possible!
Gu Yue pursed her lips, "I see... Then, Wulin, have you ever considered leaving the Blood God Army?"
If he left the Blood God Army, he would not have to survive in a place fraught with danger and could peacefully cultivate to become a Titled Douluo instead!
Who knew, Tang Wulin's tone suddenly became stern, "Gu Yue, I know that your ambitions do not lie here, and you're concerned about my safety,"
"But such talk, let's not have it again in the future!"
Gu Yue wasn't upset and simply nodded, "Alright,"
Then Tang Wulin reached out and took her hand, "Let's go, and check on Yuxue and the others. They must be still cleaning up the abyssal creature corpses and reorganizing the troops by now!"

Abyss!
"Damn it," roared the Fierce Emperor with a face full of fury, "Just as the Spirit Emperor and I were about to leave the abyss, the Blood God Array happened to fall, forcibly sealing the entrance!"
The Spirit Emperor nodded slightly and added, "Yes... Even with all our strength, we couldn't stop the Blood God Array!"
"But, conservatively estimated, at least one Ultimate Douluo Level Soul Master has fallen!"
Upon hearing this, the abyssal Emperors below all exchanged looks, not daring to speak a word...
Only the Demon Emperor took the lead in breaking the eerie atmosphere, coldly shouting, "The abyss is sealed again, doesn't that mean we'll be trapped here for hundreds of years?!"
Venom continuously oozed from the stinger behind the Bee Emperor, who said with a grim face, "No, just being trapped for a few decades, and human Soul Masters' technology has already advanced to this extent. If another hundred years pass, I fear that all the creatures in the abyss combined won't be a match for them!"
The Chemical Emperor echoed, "That's right, we absolutely cannot let human Soul Masters develop to that extent, we must gather all forces and destroy the seal from within!"
"With more than eighty abyssal Emperors joining hands," Emperor Lian stated, "we can absolutely tear a crack through the Blood God Array's seal with force!"
After listening to their discussion, the always silent Abyssal Emperor coldly spit out just one sentence...
"Foolishness, if we launch an attack on the Blood God Array with force, including myself, our strength will plummet!"
By then, how would they face the top fighters from the Human Plane?
Seeing his proposal ruthlessly rejected, the Fierce Emperor, with a face full of aggression, retorted, "Then you tell me, what should we do now??"
The Spirit Emperor couldn't help but remind, "Fierce Emperor! Calm down!"
The Fierce Emperor sneered, "Calm down, how should I calm down? Are we supposed to rely on those wastes from the Holy Spirit Cult to help us destroy the Abyssal Seal?"
After this attack, the Blood God Army will surely be on guard, the chance of success is very slim!
The Spirit Emperor opened his mouth but didn't know how to console him...
The Abyssal Emperor just glanced at him indifferently, "Fierce Emperor, you rank just below me among all the Emperors, but I did not expect you to be so simple-minded!"
"Do you really think that the evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult are my last resort?"
That's right, even this re-sealing was within his expectations!
Upon hearing this, the Fierce Emperor was first stunned and then rapidly associated something in his mind...
His pupils suddenly shrank, saying in disbelief, "Could it be that even the re-sealing of the abyss is part of your plan?"
No wonder the Abyssal Emperor didn't actively resist when the Blood God Array appeared!
And the Spirit Emperor also revealed a look of shock...
In the entire abyss, his spiritual power could even rival that of the Abyssal Emperor, yet to think that the other party still had means unknown to him!
The Abyssal Emperor did not answer, but let slip, "There's no need to worry too much about this matter, the day we finally leave the abyss is not far off!"
He who was trying to swallow the Human Plane, how could he possibly place all his hopes on the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult!
