Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 623 Chen Junting: I wish that in the years to come, I could live forever with all of you (Part 2)

"Failed?"

Just as Wu Feng was surprised, Gu Tianchen, who was standing beside him, recalled the punishment of "annihilation" given to them if they failed the test given by the Sea God. So he asked:

"But why did he ultimately become a god?"

"I know this too."

As the young sect leader, Ning Tian had read a vast amount of books, including miscellaneous notes, travelogues, and ancestral records.

According to records, it was only after the Sea God Tang San intervened that Ma Hongjun was given a different divine position and did not inherit the title of Fire God.

At this point, Ning Tian looked at Wu Feng and smiled, "Based on this record, the fire god in the divine realm probably still wants to pass on his divine position. So if you approach him, with the ultimate fire contained in your martial soul, you should be able to gain his approval."

"it is good!"

Wu Feng's expression brightened!
"Then He is my next target!"

Then his gaze turned to Gu Tianchen, "When the time comes, we will become gods together, one in one space and one as the God of Fire, leaving a legend for the world!"

"Good ambition."

Chen Junting gave a thumbs-up and praised him with a smile.

Although the tone sounded a bit like coaxing a child, it was clear that Wu Feng was falling for it and was extremely pleased with himself.

But the next second, Ning Tian poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Kefeng, if you want to gain the Fire God's approval, there is another very important prerequisite. That is to be able to see the Fire God, or like Yuhao, to attract the attention of the gods."

"you…"

Ning Tian paused, then looked as if asking a question and listening attentively.

"What are you going to do?"

Eh?
The excitement and pride just moments before came to an abrupt end, replaced by a sense of confusion as Wu Feng looked at Ning Tian.

Did the location not appear in the records?

Like the Sea God family.

Perhaps it was a tacit understanding they'd developed since childhood, but Ning Tian also understood Wu Feng's gaze. He shook his head, "There's no record of that."

In an instant, the fiery girl calmed down.

So she looked at Chen Junting with hopeful eyes.

Clearly, Wu Feng had remembered what Chen Junting had said earlier, that he would "introduce" each of them to a deity. If that was the case, then she should be able to find the God of Fire, right? After all, she felt that no other god besides the God of Fire was worthy of her.

"So that's what you were thinking?"

"Eh!?"

Hearing Chen Junting's helpless tone, Wu Feng, who was somewhat lost in thought, was startled. "You can hear my thoughts?"

At the same time, a thought arose.

When did the swordsman develop mind-reading abilities?

Immediately afterward, she realized what was happening and cut off the thought.

This sudden outburst left the three people present speechless. He was, after all, a level 89 Soul Douluo; was this really necessary? He acted like he'd never grown up.

Under her astonished gaze, Chen Junting shook his head.

"There is no mind-reading ability."

"You still say you didn't?!"

"That's because your expression is too easy to read. Anyone who knows you even a little bit can probably guess it."

Without Chen Junting needing to explain, Gu Tianchen gave his answer. He even pointed his index finger at Wu Feng's forehead and gently pushed him away with a hint of helplessness, "As for the first question, you thought you were just thinking about it? Actually, you blurted it out unconsciously."

what?
Is that right?

"Cough-cough-"

Wu Feng coughed awkwardly but politely, his face flushing slightly, though thankfully it wasn't noticeable due to his drunkenness.

"Fool."

"Ugh—, I'm not stupid!"

Ignoring their playful banter, Chen Junting and Ning Tian exchanged a glance, both able to see the smile in each other's eyes.

"Brother Junting, what do you plan to do?"

"Is it about them becoming gods?"

"Ah."

"Let's get together tomorrow."

"Call them all?"

Faced with this question, Chen Junting pondered for a while.

"Only the seven who participated in the Sea God's Trial are counted."

Because among everyone, they are probably the ones with the best chance.

So the next day, at Chen Junting's residence.

At the invitation of Chen Junting, all members of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School who had participated in the Sea God's Trial gathered together in the tea room.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, as Chen Junting finally took his seat, he waved his hand, and array patterns instantly enveloped the entire tea room, isolating it from the outside world.

Just as everyone was wondering, Xiao Tian said, "Today I asked Xiao Tian to gather everyone here to discuss our future paths."

Chen Junting's eyes shone brightly as he swept over the crowd.

"I suppose no one doesn't want to become a god."

Be straightforward and get to the point.

This direct question, delivered in a declarative tone, stunned the other four unsuspecting individuals, leaving them somewhat incredulous.

what?
Become a god! ?
Are we really discussing something so important about the future today?

It should be noted that among the people present, there were several who had not even reached the Title Douluo realm yet, and they were already discussing the "future godhood" step, something that some people had never even considered.

Seeing everyone looking at each other blankly, Chen Junting asked with a slight smile, "What? Doesn't anyone want to become a god?"

"Who says I don't want to?"

"If one can find a lineage, becoming a god is not difficult!"

"..."

Chen Junting's question was like a fuse, instantly igniting the passion of those who had not received the divine inheritance.

They were all full of vigor and self-assurance, thinking, "Who else but me?" "Chen, tell me, what exactly is this process of becoming a god?"

Once the atmosphere had calmed down, Dugu Xin asked a question, which was then met with questioning glances from Ji Juechen, Ye Guyi, and Xiao Xiao.

"Actually, with everyone's talent, you are capable of becoming gods. But the most indispensable thing to becoming a god is luck. To be precise, it is whether the gods can notice you geniuses. After all, unless your talent is so amazing that it actively attracts the attention of the gods in the divine realm, you can only hope to find the place of inheritance of the gods in the lower realm, or be chosen by the gods."

As Chen Junting spoke, he glanced at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao should know that there are many planes under the God Realm. In addition, one day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal world. Furthermore, the gods cannot always keep an eye on the geniuses in the lower realms. Therefore, many geniuses will turn into a handful of dust a hundred years later because they are not discovered by the gods."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded.

He had indeed heard Teacher Rong Nianbing say something about the divine realm, so what Brother Junting said was generally correct.

Having received Huo Yuhao's acknowledgment, Chen Junting continued the previous topic. "So now, what I plan to do is to complete the final 'luck' element for everyone with sufficient talent."

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly. His eyes shone brightly, like a divine sword being drawn from its sheath; his arms outstretched, as if encompassing everything.

"I wish that in the years to come, I could live forever with you all!"

The moment their gazes swept over them, even Gu Tianchen and Wu Feng, who were already in the know, were struck by the oath. How much more so the others who were "unprepared"?

That's awesome!

So burning!
……

At this very moment, in the realm of gods.

"Ok?"

The God of Destruction, who had just seen off the Goddess of Life, raised an eyebrow.

Because he sensed that the boy named "Chen Junting" from the Douluo Continent was contacting him, but how long had it been?

Judging by the speed of time in the human world, only a few days have passed. Could it be that he discovered Tang San's hidden plan left in the Douluo Continent in such a short time? That's too fast.

Therefore, the God of Destruction immediately connected with him using his divine sense.

He had barely opened his mouth when he asked impatiently, "Have you found out what tricks Tang San has played on the Douluo Continent?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Junting was taken aback.

But he quickly realized that the God of Destruction had misunderstood. So he hurriedly explained, "Senior, I can't do it that quickly. If Tang San really did something in the Douluo Plane, he must have hidden it very well. Even with what you reminded me of earlier, I would still need to be more prepared to investigate."

Indeed, it is I who am anxious.

Hearing Chen Junting's words, the God of Destruction realized he had been too hasty and caused a misunderstanding. Realizing this, he regained his composure almost instantly. He then asked, "So, what brings you to me this time?"

There was nothing to hide about this, so Chen Junting, who knew the God of Destruction's personality, bluntly stated his demands: "This time, I'm doing this for the divine position."

"God's position?"

The God of Destruction frowned.

He almost instinctively assumed that Chen Junting was going to inherit the divine position. But after a moment's realization, he quickly understood that the probability of that was extremely small, and thus roughly guessed Chen Junting's intentions.

"You did it for someone else, didn't you?"

With a confident tone, Chen Junting gave a definite answer, "That's right. I'm seeking you out, senior, to find suitable divine positions for my companions, so they can also become gods later."

Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction's gaze was obscured by the purple cloak. While Chen Junting's actions might seem like favoritism, the God of Destruction didn't actually dislike them. Of course, he didn't support them either.

Even though the God of Destruction disliked Tang San for taking his companions to become gods, there was a premise to this dislike: Tang San opposed the expansion of the God Realm, making it difficult for some extremely talented new generation members to ascend to the God Realm and strengthen it.

As long as this premise isn't violated, the God of Destruction won't pay much attention to such matters. After all, which god doesn't have relatives and friends, so he can understand this kind of thing.

But that's why I came to him for help...

Hehe—this is the first time.

"You want me to help your companions find divine positions?"

The rhetorical question seemed to be directed at Chuchen Junting.

However, Chen Junting knew the God of Destruction's "sore spot," so he wasn't stumped. Instead, he steered his answer in a direction that would win the God of Destruction's favor. "Senior, you should know those who ascended to the God Realm with Tang San, right? I can guarantee that none of my companions are weaker than them. In fact, in my opinion, given the right opportunity, they could all inherit the position of a first-level god. Even if they are second-level gods, I believe that once they reach the God Realm, given enough time, they could also advance."

They do have confidence.

However, if what this kid says is true, it would be a good thing for the divine realm. But more importantly, it's because of the change of leadership.

The God of Destruction had this idea long ago.

However, the position of a first-level god is not so easy to inherit, which means that only those who basically don't care about worldly affairs can occupy the position.

It's important to understand that this accounts for a very large proportion of the space.

Basically, this is the case for half of the first-level gods, with only the Seven Deadly Sins and the God of Destruction under their command being somewhat better off.

So if there really are geniuses who can inherit the positions of those first-level gods, it would be a good thing. In that case, the new generation might be able to take on some responsibilities and not be so overworked.

Furthermore, if this young man named "Chen Junting" really creates his own divine position... if he is a God-King, he will need his own subordinates. Even if he is a first-level god, he will still need his own network of connections. After all, creating one's own divine position is not the same as inheriting a divine position. There is no network of connections from the previous generation of gods to inherit, unless he chooses to attach himself to the God-King.

With this in mind, and still hoping that Chen Junting would later become the God of Destruction and create a God-King position, I decided to build him a platform in the God Realm in advance.

As for the people who can stand on the platform…

It seems that only his partner would be the most suitable.

So, "Tell me about your people."

Upon hearing the God of Destruction's words, Chen Junting knew he had agreed. He then explained the situation of Gu Tianchen and the others in detail, emphasizing their areas of expertise.

No sooner had he finished speaking than, in the blink of an eye, the God of Destruction, who had lived in the divine realm for countless years and dealt with countless matters, immediately identified the divine positions suitable for them.

Wu Feng: A first-level deity—the God of Fire;
Dugu Xin: A second-level deity—the God of Poison;
Xiao Xiao: A second-level deity—the God of Rhythm;
Gu Tianchen: A first-level deity—the God of Space;
As for the remaining Ye Guyi and Ji Juechen…

"Of the remaining two, the one with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was originally the most suitable for the Angel God's position. Unfortunately, the Angel God's position is shattered, and your future path can only be paved by the Angel God's path of faith. Therefore, among the remaining god positions, the one most suitable for her is the God of Light, who is also one of the Seven Element Gods. As for the one who uses a sword, his talent in swordsmanship is also strong. If he is willing to embark on the path of creating his own god position, he can condense a Sword God's position himself. However, if he does not use the power of faith to condense it, with his abilities, he can only reach the second-level god at most. Of course, he can also inherit the attack god, who is a second-level god."

Clearly, among the group, the God of Destruction admired Ji Juechen the most, followed by Dugu Xin. This was because the former had the ability to condense a divine position, even if it was only a second-level god at most. At least it would create another position in the God Realm, even though the God Realm's current "capacity" meant that there weren't many positions that a new god could occupy.

The latter, however, has the ability to elevate one's divine status.

He made the Poison God, a secondary deity, a main god.

As for the rest...

That's how it is; we can't impress the God of Destruction. After all, we can't allow him to ascend to a higher divine position and strengthen the power of the divine realm.

But for Chen Junting, this was something to be happy about.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior."

"Ah."

The God of Destruction responded by severing the connection. But a thought began to stir within him…
