Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 446 The Chosen One
Just do it.

Lin Rong first went to the West Sea area.

Today, the Douluo Star Ocean is divided into four seas: east, south, west, and north. Among the thousands of islands in the West Sea, Seagod Island is the most prestigious.

Poseidon Island is still Poseidon Island, but the sea god is no longer Poseidon, but his mount, the deep-sea demon whale king Bubble.

The sea within an island.

Upon hearing that he was to offer up five drops of divine blood, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, looking at the dozen or so female whales surrounding him, immediately lost interest.

If it were only a single drop of divine blood, its powerful deep-sea whale body wouldn't be enough to diminish its interest in exploring the Yin-Yang Dao. But with five drops of divine blood, it would have to remain a sage for the next few years.

“Master, this is the blood of the Sea God. Please accept it.”

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King deftly made a cut on its fin, peeling off five drops of deep blue blood with a hint of gold, which it presented to its master.

Lin Rong collected the five drops of divine blood into five jade bottles, then summoned the divine artifact, the Ancient Tree of Life, and plucked a verdant fruit from a branch, tossing it to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Eat this, it will speed up your recovery."

This Fruit of Life, like the one he gave Davis, was ripened by his divine power. However, its effects are not as good as a naturally ripened Fruit of Life, and it also has certain side effects.

But that's from the perspective of mortals. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has become a god, so the side effects of this life essence are as if they don't exist.

……

half a month later.

Royal Hunting Grounds, outside Tiandou City.

The five titled Douluo—Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong—stood in a neat row.

These five were the seeds selected for the Godhood Project.

The basic requirement for being shortlisted for the Godhood Project is that one's soul power level must be no lower than level 95. In other words, one needs to be at least a level 96 Title Douluo to be eligible for the Godhood Project.

This directly eliminated 90% of the titled Douluo.

Although the Douluo Continent is now a fusion of four continents, the other three continents, while having titled Douluo, only have a soul power level of 95 at most.

Therefore, only those from the original Douluo Continent are eligible to be selected.

Besides the five selected individuals, among those who are not inheritors of divine power and are titled Douluo of level 95 or above, after the destruction of the Spirit Hall, the seclusion of the Body Sect, and the extermination of the Star Crown Sect, there is only Yu Yuanzhen, the former patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a level 96 Power Attack type titled Douluo.

However, there are only five spots available, meaning only five out of six people can be selected.

Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei are Lin Rong's own protégés, so they are bound to be selected.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong belong to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and are elders of the Royal Myriad Treasures Hall personally appointed by Lin Rong. Their relationship is much deeper than that of Yu Yuanzhen.

Unless Yu Yuanzhen is replaced by Yu Tianheng, who will be known as Dugu Yan's husband, perhaps one of the remaining two spots can be claimed.

"There are only two spots in the final Godhood Project. Although all five of you have been selected, whether you can become one of the two depends on your talent and luck."

Lin Rong waved his hand gently, and the seven inherited divine artifacts appeared in front of the five people one by one.

"There are two selection methods for the final spots."

"The first option is to select the one with the highest talent among the five of you and bestow upon him two drops of divine blood."

"The second option is to select the person among the remaining four who has the highest compatibility with the inheritance of these seven divine positions, and bestow upon them three drops of divine blood."

Of the five, the one with the highest initial talent is definitely Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

In the original work, his soul power level was also the highest, reaching level ninety-seven, although it was said to be a breakthrough achieved after losing an arm.

Dugu Bo was initially at the bottom of the talent rankings, but Gu Rong is currently at the bottom. Chen Xin isn't much better, ranking fourth, which could also be considered second to last. Of the remaining three, Dugu Bo and Gui Mei are aiming for third place and competing for second, while Yue Guan is currently ranked first in talent.

After all, Yue Guan absorbed the rare and precious herb, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which is of the same origin as his martial soul. In addition, he also absorbed several ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, making him the undisputed number one in talent among the five.

"Yue Guan, absorb these two drops of divine blood, and then try to gain the approval of the God of Desire."

Lin Rong didn't conduct any talent tests; instead, she directly selected the candidates.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Overjoyed, Yue Guan accepted the two jade bottles containing divine blood, uncorked them, and drank the contents. He then sat cross-legged on the ground to refine the power of the divine blood.

The reason he gave the inheritance of the God of Desire to Yueguan among the seven great gods was because he felt that among the seven great gods, only the inheritance of desire could be connected with the chrysanthemum.

Regardless of whether the Chrysanthemum Martial Soul is completely connected with Desire, Yue Guan did indeed inherit the Desire Godhood after absorbing the divine blood.

"Hmm, not bad." Lin Rong nodded in satisfaction at the result.

Yue Guan is currently a level 98 Title Douluo. It will take him one or two years, or at most two or three years, to complete the Nine Trials of Desire and obtain the qualification to inherit a godhood.

"Alright, don't just stand there. Come and try it out. Among the remaining six divine throne inheritances, which one of you has the highest compatibility?"

Lin Rong spoke, and the four people, led by Dugu Bo, stepped forward one by one, each finding a divine artifact of inheritance, and communicating with each other about the divine position inheritance within the artifact.

Heart of the Earth, Sorrow of Pride, Blood of Envy, Fire of Wrath, Heart of Greed, Scythe of the Rakshasa.

Among the four candidates.

His martial soul is the Dust Heart of the Seven Kill Sword, which has the highest compatibility with the Arrogant Godhood.

The Ancient Banyan, whose Martial Soul is a Bone Dragon, has the highest compatibility with the Earth God's position, followed by the Rakshasa God's position.

The Martial Soul is the Ghostly Ghost, which has the highest compatibility with the Rakshasa Godhood, followed by the Earth Godhood.

Dugu Bo, whose martial soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, has the highest compatibility with the Godhood of Jealousy, followed by the Godhood of Greed.

Unified compatibility ranking:

First: worldly desires and arrogant divine status.

Second: Ghosts and Rakshasa deities.

Third: Ancient banyan tree and the Earth God's altar.

Fourth: Dugu Bo and the God of Jealousy.

The Seven Kill Sword is a weapon of slaughter, and the confidence and arrogance of its wielder can be separated by a single thought.

Therefore, it was not unexpected for Lin Rong that the combination of Chen Xin and the arrogant god position was able to win among the four.

"Here are three drops of divine blood. Take them."

Lin Rong waved his hand, and three jade bottles containing divine blood floated in front of Chen Xin.

"Sword Master, we look forward to your performance in the war of the gods."

Chen Xin, holding the Seven Kill Sword, bowed and said:
"The Seven Kill Sword will not disappoint Your Majesty."

After saying that, he split the three jade bottles in half with his sword, and the three drops of divine blood inside flowed down the Seven Kill Sword and into his mouth, which he swallowed.

Watching Chen Xin's pretentious behavior from the side, Gu Rong felt envious and also sourly remarked:
"You damned wretch, you haven't even received the inheritance of the Arrogant Godhood yet, and you're already arrogant."

Not to mention Gu Rong, even Dugu Bo and Gui Mei felt a pang of sadness due to the psychological gap, and it was already a great restraint of them not to say anything in agreement.
