Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

"Alas, the Asura and the God of War have vanished completely just like that."

The remaining lingering thoughts of the gods all sighed in lament.

Since that great battle, the lingering remnants of these gods have existed here for an unknown number of years.

If we're talking about the lingering remnants of the gods who might survive in the end, the Asura God and the War God should be among the last ones.

But now, these two have ended their lives in this way.

"Now, only a few of us are left."

The remaining remnants of the gods looked at each other, feeling that there was no point in continuing to exist, but they were also reluctant to die.

After some deliberation, they each returned to their previous positions.

They didn't care where Jiang Ming went.

This is the successor of the god of war, and of course, also the successor of the god of the sun, but this has nothing to do with them.

If Jiang Ming is the successor of their god, perhaps they would do the same as the God of War.

Unfortunately, fate doesn't favor everyone.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming, enveloped by the last vestiges of the God of War's remnant power, soared higher and higher in the sky above the ancient battlefield of gods!

He has gained the approval of the ancient God of War and experienced the power of the God of War at his peak, which will pave the way for him to restore the God of War to a first-level deity later.

Of course, this only smoothed things out a bit; Jiang Ming still had to overcome the difficulties himself.

By this time, Jiang Ming had completed half of the ninth test of the Dual Gods Trial, and he had at least completely passed the War God test.

Even if Jiang Ming comes out directly from the ancient battlefield of gods now, he can still inherit the god of war on the spot!

However, since it has been decided to inherit the legacy of two gods at the same time, the divine power of the sun god must also be completed!
As Jiang Ming flew higher and higher, the temperature in the surrounding space began to rise.

The sun in the ancient battlefield of gods was transformed from the lingering resentment of the ancient sun god.

For Jiang Ming to find the remnant of the ancient sun god, it means he has to fly to the sun!
Normally, before Jiang Ming became a god, he would be vaporized if he got close to the remnant of the ancient sun god. Mortals are very weak in the face of divine power.

In particular, the Sun God is the most destructive of all the first-level deities!
Compared to the God of War, the Sun God is far more destructive!

It can be said that even some evil gods do not have as much destructive power as the sun god, which is determined by the special nature of the sun god's divine power.

However, protected by the remnant power of the ancient war god, Jiang Ming was not affected by the power of the sun god. Instead, he watched as the surrounding space was distorted by the extremely high temperature, and waves of heat in the sky crashed against the protective shield. Even though Jiang Ming himself was not directly affected, he felt a kind of illusory pain from a distance.

"Hmm? This is... the aura of the God of War."

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the air, majestic and sacred, yet even though it was just a voice, one could sense its fiery intensity.

Jiang Ming watched as a fiery red figure suddenly appeared in the sun overhead.

His figure was extremely majestic, dressed in a magnificent gold and red robe, with eyes that seemed to be able to unleash flames, and a phantom small sun floating behind his head.

Although the sun wheel of the sun god changes hands with the succession of the gods, this divine artifact is still very easy to use. Most gods who retire from the sun god position will create their own small sun.

For the sun god, this was nothing.

"Are you... the ancient sun god?"

Jiang Ming greeted him.

"Ancient times?"

The remnant of the ancient sun god frowned slightly, seemingly displeased, but then he seemed to have thought of something and sighed helplessly.

"According to your current timeline, I am indeed from ancient times."

As he spoke, his fiery eyes scanned Jiang Ming up and down.

"Do you bear the mark of the Sun God's legacy?"

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, the ancient sun god."

As the remnant of the ancient sun god scrutinized him, he too was scrutinizing the remnant of the ancient sun god.

Judging from his voice and appearance, this ancient sun god was definitely a person with a fiery temper.

It's difficult to gain the approval of this kind of person.

"Then why do you still possess the legacy of the God of War? And just now, the God of War and the Asura fought down there—was it because of you? No, it was you! I'm still familiar with the God of War's fighting spirit; that wasn't the God of War's fighting spirit just now."

The Sun God frowned, looking at Jiang Ming with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"You brat, do you even know what it means to be greedy and try to swallow an elephant? Is the God of War not enough for you, or the God of the Sun not enough for you? You actually want to inherit the power of two gods at the same time!"

He dislikes greedy people; compared to inheriting one deity, the probability of successfully inheriting two deities at the same time is far too low!
Moreover, he dislikes people who are two-faced and try to have their cake and eat it too!

"Uh this"

Jiang Ming was somewhat embarrassed. He had initially only inherited the God of War, but later, because he wanted to help Zhang Lexuan also obtain a god, he became involved with the Moon God, and then with the Sun God.

If he was forced, then no, he agreed to it himself. But to say that he did it on his own initiative, out of greed, doesn't seem to be the case.

"Could there be some hidden story?"

The Sun God snorted coldly, and then a golden-red power of the Sun God rushed towards Jiang Ming.

Faced with the power of the Sun God, the protective shield formed by the power of the God of War did not resist, but allowed the opponent to pass through.

The God of War and the God of Sun were quite familiar with each other, and were even friends. The God of Sun had also contributed greatly to the forging of the legendary artifact, the Dragon Spear of the God of War.

Soon, drawn by the power of the Sun God, the Sun God's inheritance mark within Jiang Ming's spiritual sea flew out directly.

The remnant of the ancient sun god glanced at the mark of the sun god's inheritance, and the entire process of the sun god's contact with Jiang Ming appeared in his mind.

"Heh, heh heh, I never imagined that my Sun God would be reduced to sharing a successor with other gods!"

The ancient sun god, filled with resentment, laughed in exasperation, and boundless heat erupted from his majestic body!

In an instant, the surrounding sky turned red, space distorted, and even the light seemed to melt away.

Even with the protection of the God of War's power, Jiang Ming still felt immense pressure in the face of such terrifying power.

But soon, this heat was taken back by the lingering resentment of the ancient sun god.

"Alas, it's all my fault. The Sun God has been reduced from a first-level deity to a second-level deity. Without a genius of your caliber, there's no hope of ever returning to the rank of a first-level deity. So be it and share it with the God of War." The remnant will of the ancient Sun God knew very well that once a deity's divine status was diminished, it was virtually impossible to regain it.

Once a deity's divine status is diminished, there are only three ways to restore it.

The first option is for the current deity to forcibly restore the deity's status!
This method requires the current deity to possess extremely powerful strength. If the current deity is a second-level deity, then he must have power exceeding that of a second-level deity in order to elevate his divine rank.

But is this possible?
may!

It's extremely difficult!

If martial spirits and innate soul power are the decisive factors limiting the cultivation of soul masters on the Douluo Continent, then in the God Realm, the divine rank is the decisive factor limiting the power of gods!
It's unlikely that a second-level deity can defeat a first-level deity.

It is almost impossible for a first-level deity to defeat a god-king!

Clearly, neither the current God of War nor the God of the Sun possesses this ability; otherwise, they wouldn't have been reduced to having Jiang Ming inherit the power of two deities.

The second type is connections!

The Divine Council has five Great God-Kings. If one can use personal connections to persuade all five Great God-Kings to agree to elevate the rank of a certain deity, then that deity can be directly elevated in rank.

Especially for deities that were originally weakened but have their own inherent strength, it will be easier to restore them.

But the prerequisite is having such connections!

It is inherently difficult for the five great god-kings to reach a consensus.

Moreover, the reason why the deities of the Sun God and the God of War were weakened was because the five great god-kings at the time unanimously agreed to weaken them!

It's practically impossible to reinstate something that was already nerfed back then.

The third scenario is the situation Jiang Ming is currently facing.

In the process of divine succession, the successor accumulates a foundation through certain events, and then, at the moment of becoming a god, breaks through the constraints of the divine status through these accumulations!

This method is also difficult, but compared to the two methods above, it is actually one with a relatively high success rate.

At least for Jiang Ming, this method wasn't that difficult.

"Judging from your appearance, you should have already gained the approval of the God of War. So, you go in, stay for a while, and then come out. Then I will approve of you."

The ancient sun god spoke with a regretful expression, pointing to the sun above.

This is the manifestation of his divine power, possessing the purest power of the sun god! It is also the embodiment of the sun god's peak strength!
If he were not a wisp of remnant spirit, but in his complete form, and this sun were to unleash its full power, all the secondary deities in the entire battlefield of gods would be reduced to ashes!

Even a first-level deity would be severely injured!
Even if it is only formed from the remnants of divine power, it is still extremely terrifying.

Jiang Ming followed the direction the sun god was pointing, his face showing no sign of panic.

"To enter the sun? Yes."

He was very ordinary, as ordinary as he had ever done.

In fact, he did do it.

Back in the Tower of War, he was tempered by the Sun God's fire for a full year!
This is just an enhanced version of that original test.

But he is not the same person he used to be.

"it is good!"

Without any unnecessary words, the remnant of the ancient sun god unleashed its golden-red divine power, covering Jiang Ming's body, and then, like throwing a shot put, directly tossed Jiang Ming's body into that magnificent sun!
"Hey hey!"

Jiang Ming truly hadn't expected the remnant of the ancient sun god to act so quickly!

One second they're chatting, the next they've thrown themselves into the sun. Is it really that exaggerated?
Rumble!
A deafening roar erupted in the sky—the sound of the sun being ignited!

In an instant, golden-red light enveloped half the sky, and endless light and heat radiated from the air and quickly spread to the ground.

"receive!"

The lingering remnant of the ancient sun god waved his hand, drawing back all the light and heat released by the sun, transforming it into even greater power that upgraded the sun's interior.

Jiang Ming will also have to relive the days spent in the furnace.

As time passed, the ancient battlefield gradually returned to calm.

The ancient battlefield of gods was originally peaceful; the lingering remnants of the gods who remained there were merely waiting for death, an endless wait.

However, after the battle between the Asura God and the War God, the remnants of many gods dissipated, making this already silent battlefield even more silent.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun in the sky seemed to become even more dazzling at a certain moment, its golden-red light bursting forth for a moment before quickly compressing.

The sun has shrunk!

To be precise, it is this sun, formed from the divine power of the sun god, that is shrinking!
Shrinking, shrinking again, when the sun formed from the power of the sun god shrank to a certain extent, with a loud boom, as if the heavens and earth were split open, the light that had gradually dimmed as the sun shrank, and the ancient battlefield that had become dim, suddenly burst out with extreme light and heat!
Boom!

The world seemed to go from absolute darkness to absolute day in the blink of an eye!
When the dazzling white light faded, a sun reappeared in the sky!
This sun is redder and more vibrant than the previous one!

"Having been tempered by the fire of the sun god twice, you're quite a unique case among all the sun gods."

The ancient sun god, with a lingering sense of relief, looked at Jiang Ming, who had absorbed his power and transformed into a new sun.

He was very satisfied with this successor of the sun god.

"So, does this mean I've gained your approval?"

Jiang Ming was radiating a golden-red light like the sun, and his fiery eyes had been upgraded, his golden eyes seemingly able to see through all the illusions of the world.

The remnant spirit of the ancient sun god nodded and said, "Hmm, I'm quite satisfied with you, kid. You've finished with the God of War, and you've finished with mine. So, you should be heading out now, right?"

Jiang Ming said, "Yes, the content of the ninth test of my dual-god assessment is to gain your and Senior War God's approval."

Upon hearing this, the remnant of the ancient sun god smiled and said, "No rush, there's no need to leave now. I have another opportunity for you, but how much you gain depends on yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the remnant of the ancient sun god decisively wrapped Jiang Ming's body with the power of the sun god and threw it towards a certain place on the battlefield of the ancient gods.

After doing all this, his figure faded to the extreme.

The power of the sun god that Jiang Ming absorbed was his last bit of strength.

The next second, the lingering resentment of the ancient sun god also vanished.

Just as Jiang Ming appeared at a certain point on the ancient battlefield of gods, a majestic dragon's roar suddenly rang in his ears! (End of Chapter)
