Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 849: I'll make up for it in a million years!
"Thor, calm down, calm down, don't take it to heart like a child."

"Yes, Thor. That kid's young and naive. Once he's up here, I'll take him to you."

In the realm of the gods, Thor's expression gradually softened as he looked at the God of War and the God of the Sun, who kept telling him to calm down.

"God of War, God of the Sun, I'll give you both face this time. However, this kid really broke the rules. It's a law of the Douluo Continent that soul beasts undergo tribulation once every 100,000 years! What's the point of him coming to block the heavenly tribulation?"

If every time a soul beast undergoes tribulation, someone has to shield it from the calamity, how am I supposed to keep up? This kid, judging from the look on his face just now, actually tried to charge into my tribulation clouds!

Thor spoke in a deep voice, his anger subsiding, but his face still showed dissatisfaction.

In the Douluo Continent, it is a rule that soul beasts undergo tribulation once every 100,000 years!

Normally, he, the God of Thunder, wouldn't need to personally oversee a regular tribulation, but since the Evil Monarch triggered a tribulation that lasts for eight hundred thousand years, such a tribulation might only occur once every tens of thousands of years in the Douluo Continent. He still needed to come and keep an eye on this level of tribulation.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the soul beast's tribulation was being blocked by a human soul master!
This is the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord undergoing tribulation. What are you, a human Soul Master, doing blocking the lightning tribulation?
Is this any of your business that you're blocking it?

It wasn't until later, when Thor discovered that the kid was using lightning tribulation to temper his body, that he realized something was wrong.

This behavior is against the rules!

If a soul beast's tribulation lightning can be blocked by someone else, then when other soul beasts undergo tribulation, can they also find a powerful being to help them block the tribulation lightning?

This is obviously not going to work!
Of course, some people have done this over a long period of time.

The final result of doing this is that both those who were meant to block the calamity and those who were supposed to undergo it are all reduced to ashes under the heavenly tribulation!

Heavenly tribulations are no joke.

As for this one, Thor originally planned to follow the previous procedure, having this human soul master continuously withstand the lightning tribulation until they were reduced to ashes!

This is the process I followed when someone tried to stop me from doing something wrong.

First, go through the first few lightning tribulations normally, and then when you get to the last lightning tribulation, use the maximum power to keep striking!

In Jiang Ming's case, after the Evil Monarch's eighth Heavenly Tribulation is over, the Heavenly Tribulation will not end, but will continue to strike with the intensity of the eighth Heavenly Tribulation!

Keep hacking until Jiang Yang and the Evil Lord are reduced to ashes!
This is the normal procedure.

However, Jiang Yang's journey proceeded normally until the eighth tribulation, when an unexpected event occurred.

The eighth heavenly tribulation struck down, and Jiang Ming, who had been shielding the evil lord from the tribulations, could no longer withstand it!

They even went so far as to kill the soul beast that had triggered the lightning tribulation!
This left Thor somewhat confused.

You want to kill him, yet you're helping him withstand the heavenly tribulation?
It wasn't until he saw the human soul master's body undergo immense tempering during the tribulation lightning, saw the soul beast's aura surge to the point of self-destruction, saw the human soul master kill the soul beast without hesitation, and saw the crimson 900,000-year soul ring rise up, that he barely understood the intricacies of the matter.

This human soul master is deceiving everyone!

He could clearly see the physical strength of this human soul master.

At least in the world of Douluo Continent, it is already extremely difficult for him to improve his physical body.

But lightning tribulation is not included!
The power in this world that is strong enough to shake this physical body, and also brings new life, seems to be a tribulation of lightning!
This guy deliberately used this method to make him suffer a tribulation of lightning to help temper his physical body!

He was cheated!

Can this be tolerated?

Of course this is intolerable!

Deceiving the gods is absolutely intolerable!
But just as he was about to unleash the ninth heavenly tribulation to kill the human soul masters of Douluo Continent, the Sun God and the God of War arrived and declared that Jiang Ming was their divine successor.

To be honest, Thor really wanted to strike Jiang Ming dead, but since two gods had pleaded for his life, and the soul beast that triggered the heavenly tribulation was already dead, the process could be considered complete. Thor decided to do the God of War and the Sun God a favor as well.

Even so, he still caused a bolt from the blue.

There was no tribulation lightning, only a deafening roar, expressing its dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing Thor's dissatisfaction, Ares and Sun God nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, Thor is just following the rules of the divine realm; there's no question about it.

"Fortunately, the process went smoothly, and the soul beast undergoing tribulation died, so it wasn't too much of a violation of the rules. But... are you two really planning to pass on your divine power to this kid?"

Thor waved his hand, indicating that this part was over.

But he still looked at the Sun God and the God of War with some curiosity, asking them what they thought.

Dual divine positions—this kid isn't the first one, actually.

Above them is a Tang God King, as well as two deities: the Asura God and the Sea God.

But this doesn't mean there aren't problems with the dual-god system!
Even the Tang God King still needed his wife as the scabbard of the Asura Sword to share the power of the Asura God; otherwise, there would be big problems!
Moreover, although the Sun God and the God of War are only second-level deities, their divine status was forcibly lowered by the previous generation of divine enforcers due to some historical reasons!
If we're really talking about the foundation of gods, the Sun God and the God of War are definitely on par with him, the God of Thunder, as first-level gods, or even stronger!
After all, in ancient times, the sun god and the war god were both god-kings!
"We've already given them the divine inheritance mark, and we know what we're doing, so there won't be any problems."

The sun god nodded and said in a deep voice.

He and the God of War had discussed this many times.

With Jiang Ming's talent, inheriting their current positions as second-level gods shouldn't be too much of a problem.

If Jiang Ming had done this when the Sun God and the God of War were at their peak, the pressure he would have faced would have been even greater than that faced by Tang San, who has now inherited the dual divine positions of the God of Asura and the God of the Sea!
But now, it shouldn't be a big problem to use a talent capable of inheriting a first-level deity, or even a god-king, to inherit two second-level deities.

As for restoring these two deities to their peak, that's something to be discussed after Jiang Ming inherits the divine status and ascends to the divine realm.

Hearing the Sun God's words, the Thunder God nodded and said, "Alright, since you all know what's going on, I won't say anything more. However, you'd better remind this kid not to use the Soul Beast Tribulation to temper his physical body again, otherwise, he won't be so lucky next time!"

After saying that, Thor transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared.

Little did he know that he would see Jiang Ming again soon.

Watching Thor's departing figure, the Sun God and the God of War exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

"Old Dai, I'm starting to regret it."

The Sun God said with a somewhat complicated expression.

"This kid is such a troublemaker! Last time he fought Death, this time he went head-to-head with Thor. You know, he's not even a god yet, and he's already causing all this trouble. If he does become a god, I feel like this kid could turn the world of gods upside down!"

Originally, the Sun God thought Jiang Ming was a good successor, after all, his talent was truly remarkable, and Jiang Ming's Golden Heart Martial Soul, to some extent, had a high degree of compatibility with his Sun God.

If we compare the body to a universe, then the heart is the sun of that universe!
He was absolutely confident that Jiang Ming, after inheriting his Sun God status, could do even better than him! He might even be able to restore the glory of the Sun God and elevate the Sun God's status back to that of a first-level deity!
But now, he felt that Jiang Ming's way of doing things was a bit too dangerous!
They had previously fought a wisp of Death's divine will, and now they were clashing with Thor's heavenly tribulation. Death was alright; that guy was unscrupulous, and when his divine will descended to target Jiang Ming, the two of them could mobilize their power and call upon their allies to deal with Death.

But Thor is just doing his normal job! Soul beasts in Douluo Continent must undergo a tribulation of lightning every 100,000 years; this is the law of Douluo Star!

On Death's side, Death broke the rules; on Thor's side, Jiang Ming broke the rules himself!

If the two of them hadn't discovered it in time through the divine inheritance mark, Jiang Ming would probably have really been targeted by the Thunder God!
Of course, Jiang Ming might not die.

The power that Thor can use on the Douluo Continent cannot reach the level of a god; this is also the rule!

For Jiang Ming, who doesn't possess god-level power, killing him would be extremely difficult!

It's almost impossible to kill them!
But Thor can continuously summon lightning to bombard Jiang Ming; this is something Thor is capable of doing.

That's why they came to find Thor.

"Huh? You're quitting? I have no objection."

The God of War, Dai Mubai, raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Screw you!"

The Sun God punched the God of War Dai Mubai on the shoulder in annoyance, and said, "Now that I've made my choice, I won't change it! Besides, it's probably impossible to find a successor with more talent than this kid these days."

He was just joking when he said he regretted it.

This is Jiang Ming's seventh attempt.

Once Jiang Ming finishes absorbing this soul ring, his cultivation level will directly break through to level 98! Or even level 99!

Once the eighth and ninth tests are passed, becoming a god at level 100 will be a piece of cake!
After that, they can retire!

"By the way, Lao Dai, that kid has already killed the Evil Lord and completed the seventh trial. Have you prepared the relevant rewards?"

The Sun God looked at the God of War, Dai Mubai, and said softly.

In fact, the divine assessment is based on the will of the gods. Some gods want to select through assessment, while others directly select those who cultivate to the highest level in the mortal realm so that they can inherit the divine power.

However, since Jiang Ming had previously said he wanted to inherit the divine power through an assessment, and given that Jiang Ming's cultivation level was still relatively weak at that time, the two of them agreed to Jiang Ming's idea.

However, doing this presents a problem: it requires considering the content of the divine assessment and the corresponding rewards.

This is a task that requires a bit of thought.

War God Dai Mubai frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "What is this kid lacking? It seems like he lacks nothing, right? We've already given him some divinely bestowed soul bones, and with his own, he's fully equipped. As for soul rings, the last soul ring slot will definitely be reserved for the Evil Lord's soul ring. We've also given him your Sun God Fire, so it seems like this kid lacks nothing."

The sun god and the war god were somewhat worried.

"How about giving him my Sun God Wheel? No, no, this is only the seventh test. If I give it to him now, what will I give him for the eighth test?"

The Sun God thought of his Sun God Wheel, an attack-type artifact of the Sun God. Originally a super artifact, it was forcibly demoted after the ancient war and became a mere artifact.

"Yes, I'll leave the War God Tower in the Eighth Trial as well, otherwise I really can't think of anything I can use in the Eighth Trial."

The God of War, Dai Mubai, also spoke.

"Tsk tsk tsk, weren't we supposed to be testing this kid? Why does it feel like he's the one testing us?"

The two frowned, deep in thought.

Finally, the two of them came up with a good idea!

"You figured it out?"

"You thought of that too?"

The Sun God and the God of War exchanged a smile and said, "Alright, let's go with these two."

Douluo Continent, outside Shrek City.

After hearing the voice in his mind that the miraculous assessment was complete, Jiang Ming waited.

wait for what?
Of course, it's a reward for completing the assessment!

The decision to use the nine-test method for divine succession was simply a way to exploit the system!

However, after waiting for a while, Jiang Ming still did not receive the rewards for completing the assessments of the Sun God and the God of War.

Seeing that he was about to miss the chance to get the spirit ring if he delayed any longer, Jiang Ming had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the spot and prepare to absorb the spirit ring first.

Just as he sat down cross-legged, and Zhang Lexuan and the other women, Elder Mu and Elder Xuan came to protect him, a voice rang out again in his spiritual sea.

The two divine inheritance marks trembled, and the voice of the God of War, Dai Mubai, rang out.

"Kid, do you know how dangerous it was for you to use the Evil Lord's Heavenly Tribulation to temper your body this time? You don't really think the Thunder God can't kill you, do you?"

Dai Mubai's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Thor?"

Jiang Ming was somewhat bewildered; he hadn't really thought of that.

"That Soul Beast Tribulation is a test given to Soul Beasts by Heaven and Earth. You helped the Evil Lord block the tribulation. Do you think that killing the Evil Lord will make everything alright? Alright, the Sun God and I have already stabilized things for you on the Thunder God's side. We'll talk about it after you go to the God Realm."

Now that you've completed the seventh trial of the divine examination, it's time to give you a reward. Besides the War God's affinity, there's another reward: you can start by drawing your soul rings.

Dai Mubai didn't say much about Thor's matter.

Jiang Ming will naturally find out about this once he enters the God Realm.

"Huh? Oh, then I'll absorb the spirit ring first."

Although Jiang Ming was still puzzled about Thor's situation, he knew that spirit rings had a time limit, so it was better to absorb them first.

Just as Jiang Ming brought the spirit ring to his face, preparing to absorb it, Dai Mubai's voice rang out.

"Since you forcibly increased the Evil Lord's soul ring to 900,000 years, then my reward for you will be to increase it to 1 million years!"
