Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 303 Pulling Out the Divine Artifact
The news of the destruction of the Tianhun Empire spread throughout the continent in an instant. For a time, everyone on the continent was in danger.

However, this did not affect the two people who were undergoing the divine test at all.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye a month has passed.

When Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan, who were sitting cross-legged facing each other, stood up one after another, it also meant that Zhang Lexuan's sixth test was over.

"You have passed the sixth test of the Moon Goddess and will be rewarded with a 10% affinity, bringing the total affinity to 80%." The familiar voice of the Moon Goddess sounded in Zhang Lexuan's mind.

Then, the voice of the assessment reminder sounded again, "The seventh test of the Moon Goddess, pull out the artifact Moon Scepter and gain its recognition, and the reward affinity is 20%."

The Moon Goddess waved her jade hand, and the next moment the four of them appeared in another temple.

There is a huge platform in the center of the temple, and on the platform there is a small circular platform suspended in the air. A long staircase connects the huge platform and the circular platform in the air. A silver-white scepter stands on the ground of the circular platform, exuding a sacred and bright atmosphere.

"Is that... the Moon Scepter?" Zhang Lexuan murmured.

"Sister Le Xuan, go ahead and I will protect you." Lin Chen said softly.

"Yeah." Zhang Lexuan nodded, and with a determined look, she slowly walked towards the circular platform in the air.

The scepter is silver-white all over, with a long handle supporting a crescent-shaped head with mysterious patterns on it. There are also many accessories on the outer ring of the head, making the entire scepter look even more sacred.

Zhang Lexuan walked to the scepter and without any hesitation, she grasped the entire scepter with both hands.

Suddenly a chill swept through Zhang Lexuan's whole body.

Zhang Lexuan felt as if she was completely frozen, as if some of her good memories and emotions were leaving her.

I remember Lin Chen once told him...

"Sister Le Xuan, in fact, gods are no different from ordinary soul masters, or even ordinary people. Don't look at gods through a filter like the Shrek Academy. Gods are also the title given to humans who have been continuously strengthened. They are nothing more than a stronger person, or a soul master who is more powerful than the Ultimate Douluo. Therefore, if you want to become a god at the cost of extinction of all emotions, then there is nothing good about being a god. Living alone is boring enough, how can you survive if you lose your humanity? If it weren't for you, Sister Le Xuan, I wouldn't take the throne even if it was placed in front of me."

At that time, Zhang Lexuan was still a little bit unconvinced. After all, no one had been able to become a god in thousands of years, so she still had a little bit of worship for the gods.

But Lin Chen is different. As a time traveler, he has no filter towards gods. Haven’t you seen that he quarrels with a classmate Qian Renxue in his sea of ​​​​spirituality every day?
Moreover, in the world of his previous life, ordinary people were considered to be God King-level beings in the worldview of Douluo Continent, so Lin Chen did not have any filter towards gods.

Putting aside the perspective of the time traveler, that is also impossible, because the fact that Lin Chen is a time traveler has been a fact since he was born and cannot be changed, otherwise he would not have come to this world.

Of course, if he could become a powerful person, Lin Chen would definitely not refuse. Who could resist the temptation of powerful strength and immortality? Even if Lin Chen was a time traveler, he was no exception.

Now seeing that her memory and emotions were about to suffer an unknown blow, Zhang Lexuan was naturally unhappy.

She was unwilling to pay the price for pulling out the artifact, so Zhang Lexuan directly mobilized her own power to resist the artifact's erosion of her memory and emotions. However, the power of the two was still too different. After all, the Moon Scepter was a divine artifact, and its level was completely divine. Although Zhang Lexuan had a small amount of divine power, it still could not compete with the Moon Scepter.

As the little divine power in Zhang Lexuan's body was exhausted, she gradually began to fall into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly activated his soul power to merge with Zhang Lexuan's soul power, and at the same time mobilized his divine power to help Zhang Lexuan resist the erosion.

The Moon Goddess did not stop him, but just watched from the side.

Zhang Lexuan's previous sixth test of the Moon Goddess was the one she cultivated with Lin Chen to develop a martial soul fusion technique. Now that the sixth test had been successfully completed, Lin Chen could naturally mobilize his own strength to help Zhang Lexuan.

I don’t know if it was designed or if the Moon Goddess wanted to compensate Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan, but Sister Lexuan’s sixth test was so simple.

With the infusion of Lin Chen's soul power and divine power, Zhang Lexuan began to fight against the erosion of her emotions by the Moon Scepter again. At the same time, she kept asking herself, what path should she take?

Gradually, a hint of enlightenment formed in her mind.

She doesn't want to destroy her own humanity. She wants to achieve godhood in her own way. Gods don't necessarily have to extinguish so-called human desires. Gods with emotions are not necessarily weaker than heartless gods!
"I will use my feelings and kindness to combine with the position of this god. Moon Scepter, rise!" Zhang Lexuan said calmly, but her tone was full of determination.

As if sensing Zhang Lexuan's determination, the Moon Scepter, which was originally being lifted very slowly, was instantly "pulled up by the roots" by Zhang Lexuan. The sudden success also caused Zhang Lexuan to lose balance and take a step back.

The next moment Lin Chen appeared behind Zhang Lexuan, supported her, and at the same time transferred his soul power to her through his palm on Zhang Lexuan's back.

After standing firmly, Zhang Lexuan looked at the moon scepter in her hand.

The warm breath continuously emanated from the scepter, making Zhang Lexuan feel very comfortable, and the energy she consumed was also being restored at a double rate.

"Sister Lexuan, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Zhang Lexuan nodded and replied.

"This divine weapon carries the authority of the throne of God. Once it is damaged, it will be very troublesome for you to inherit my throne. Back then, after being betrayed, I took ruthlessness as my spiritual heart, embarked on the path of cultivation alone, and eventually achieved the throne of God. This divine weapon was originally used by me, so it naturally inherited my ruthless attribute. You can figure out your own path, which shows that you are very talented, and perhaps you will be better than me in the future. After living for so long, I increasingly feel that it is better to have friendship after all!" said the Moon Goddess with emotion.

"Thank you, senior. I will live up to the reputation of being a god." Zhang Lexuan said, holding the Moon Scepter.

The Moon Goddess nodded with satisfaction.

"The seventh test of the Moon Goddess, pull out the artifact: the Moon Scepter, pass, reward affinity 20%, total affinity 100%."
