Chapitre 44: Chapter 44: Tang San's Heart Beats Wildly! I Want to Become a God Too!
Zhuge Lan had never been to the Star Dou Forest before.
But he knew that the sight before him couldn't be normal!
A group of half-meter-long black spiders lay on the ground, their eight legs broken off, exposing their soft undersides, awaiting death.
All around were scattered spider legs, likely belonging to them.
They were left here to die.
"What is going on here?" Ning Rongrong asked, feeling a chill on her scalp. "Why would we see something like this at the entrance? Is it some kind of warning?"
Everyone instinctively looked at Zhuge Lan.
—It had already become a habit by now.
Zhuge Lan pondered for a moment, while internally calling upon his system.
*[Spend 1 Emotion Point to buy "Physical Scan" and obtain detailed data on the target!]*

*Red Wolf Black Spider:* Prefers to hide in the dark. Female spiders mainly give birth within the group, while the males, aggressive by nature, hunt for food.
Last night, they mysteriously underwent collective pregnancy and labor. The group prepared their reserves to welcome the offspring, yet none were born.
Seen as an ominous sign, the group broke their own legs and discarded them outside the Star Dou Forest, as a sacrificial offering to the Beast God for safety.

Zhuge Lan scratched his head.
They gave birth but didn't deliver offspring?
Last night, he did use his "Mighty Appraisal" skill and saw the outline of the Star Dou Forest.
Who knew it actually reached all the way over here?
A radius of a hundred kilometers?
Incredible!
"These are Red Wolf Black Spiders," Tang San recited knowledgeably. "They're group soul beasts, with females responsible for reproduction and males hunting food."
"These ones have been around for 200 to 800 years and are the main force for group reproduction."
"Too bad I already have my second soul ring; otherwise, these would be quite suitable for me."
Tang San shook his head in regret.
"Enough suspense," Zhuge Lan laughed. "You know so much—don't you know why this happened?"
—If you figured it out, I'd be shocked!
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
Tang San fell silent, hesitating—
"Although male Red Wolf Spiders love breaking their prey's limbs and storing them in tree hollows as food…"
"This group doesn't have a habit of cannibalistic evolution."
"For this to happen…"
"Could it have been infighting?"
Everyone rolled their eyes.
So after all that, you still have no idea?
"I thought you'd have figured it out."
Zhuge Lan laughed and said—
"The Red Wolf Black Spiders are responsible for reproduction. Last night, they were affected by my Mighty Appraisal skill, and while they went into labor, no offspring were born. The group saw it as an omen."
"So, the male spiders broke off their legs and left them here as a sacrifice to the Beast God for the continuation of their group."

*[Emotion Points +999]*
Tang San stood there in shock.
Huh?
The logic…
It actually made sense.
But!
"This is over a hundred kilometers from town!" Tang San exclaimed, unable to believe it. "Can your soul bone skill cover a hundred kilometers?"
Zhuge Lan shrugged.
Blaming it on his lineage, he said, "Seems my ancestor left this soul bone not for any twisted reason but simply because it was powerful."
Everyone: "…"

*[Emotion Points +6666]*
Even Ning Rongrong couldn't help but marvel—"What kind of incredible family is this?! I'd love to join them!"
Ma Hongjun stepped up, eager to please. "Hey, Brother Lan, does your dad accept godsons? Even one weighing 200 pounds!"
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
Everyone's eyes were on Zhuge Lan, eager to act.
If he nodded, they'd swarm in a second!
Zhuge Lan pretended to think it over, farming some more Emotion Points.
Only when the points dropped to two digits did he finally say slowly, "There was indeed one exception…"
*[Emotion Points +2333]*
*[Emotion Points +1999]*
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
Their excitement spiked!
Ten more seconds passed.
Ning Rongrong urged him on, "What exception?"
"Oh, nothing… um… never mind, you guys don't qualify."
*[Emotion Points +4444]*
*[Emotion Points +4444]*
*[Emotion Points +4444]*
How annoying! Why stop halfway? Isn't he doing this on purpose?
Ma Hongjun lunged forward, grabbing Zhuge Lan's leg.
*"Swish—"*
Zhuge Lan stepped back half a meter, his left hand glowing with holy light in warning.
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
Ma Hongjun froze mid-lunge, his kneeling posture held in place.
—How socially mortifying!
"Zhuge, just tell us already," Dai Mubai said, unable to hold back. "Leaving us hanging like this is worse!"
"Yeah!"
"Tell us!"
"We can handle it!"
At their insistence, Zhuge Lan hesitated for a few seconds before finally relenting—
"Alright, alright, since you're so persistent."
"Our family's only exception was our ancestor from ten thousand years ago, the one who ascended to the God Realm. He…"
*[Emotion Points +5555]*
*[Emotion Points +5555]*
*[Emotion Points +5555]*
He paused dramatically.
Raking in another wave of thousands of Emotion Points, Zhuge Lan almost didn't want to finish, pretending he was choosing his words.
Oscar and the others grew more impatient, and the Emotion Points climbed even higher.
"Just say it!" Xiao Wu said, glaring. "Is keeping us in suspense so fun?"
—As a soul beast in human form, she had no interest in joining any family.
In fact, she'd probably avoid one that might have a Title Douluo.
So, her attitude was fearless.
Zhuge Lan decided not to drag it out any longer.
Clicking his tongue, he finally said—
"That ancestor had innate full soul power with twin martial souls. One was a top-tier weapon martial soul, and the other a top-tier beast martial soul."
"Triggered the family's divine inheritance, so he was made an exception and allowed to join."
"He's been the only non-blood relative to enter the family in the past few thousand years."
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
*[Emotion Points +1111]*
*[Emotion Points +19999]*
As the group fell into silent disappointment, Tang San's breath quickened!
Twin martial souls?
Innate full soul power?
Isn't that referring to him?
Though his Blue Silver Grass was the lowest-tier soul on the continent…
The hammer seemed powerful, but he wasn't sure of its quality.
Could he qualify to join the family?
Should he give it a try?
Zhuge Lan's family was mysterious and powerful.
Their techniques surpassed his, their agility was superior, and their knowledge was likely abundant.
Their storeroom had endless treasures.
Most importantly…
Zhuge Lan's family had divine inheritance!
With similar conditions to that ancestor, wouldn't he be able to trigger it too?
*[Emotion Points +22222]*
*[Emotion Points +29999]*
*[Emotion Points +31999]*
He had to get in!
Now wasn't the right moment, though, with so many people around.
Later, when it was just the two of them…
*"I bless you!"*
An ear-piercing groan broke out.
Yes! A groan, but one that grated the ears!
They turned to look.
A Red Wolf Black Spider bathed in holy light was groaning with a sound like ripping tree bark.
Its broken legs were slowly regrowing in the light.
*[Emotion Points +9999]*
"Limb regeneration?" Tang San exclaimed, horrified—
"Even the highest-level healing martial souls can only do that after activating their martial soul avatar!"
"And you can do it with a single soul bone skill?"
Zhuge Lan glanced over casually.
One sentence shattered everyone's composure!
All they heard was—
