I'm picking up fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 244 The Truth about the Godhead

"Did you find anything wrong?" Xiao Wu tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion.

Lu Feng said seriously: "Look here, this man should be the Shura God. According to legend, the Shura God proved his truth by killing, but look at his opponent."

Xiao Wu looked in the direction of Lu Feng's finger, and saw that opposite the man in blood-stained clothes was a group of strange-looking creatures.

They have no legs and look like ghosts.

And each face is different. Some are human faces, some are animal faces, and some even have four eyes.

"I guess the people killed by Shura God are enemies outside the Douluo World." Lu Feng said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he came to another mural and said, "Look here again. These eighteen beams of light are connected to the stars. Above these stars, you can vaguely see the outline of the palace."

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. "I guess this palace is the legendary God Realm. And the purpose of building the God Realm is to resist enemies outside the continent."

Xiao Wu blinked, obviously finding this topic new and interesting: "There are enemies outside the continent? Then wouldn't the God Realm be like a guardian?"

Lu Feng nodded, "Yes, look at the distribution of these stars, there seems to be some kind of pattern hidden in it, it looks like a formation."

"Formation?" Xiao Wu looked confused. "What is a formation?"

Lu Feng held his forehead and smiled helplessly: "It's like planting carrots, one carrot in one hole. Each star corresponds to a god position."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and her tone was a little excited: "It sounds reasonable! But is there any problem with this?"

Lu Feng shook his head, his tone was full of meaning: "On the surface, it seems to be fine, but think about it, why would God look for an heir?"

"They have worked hard to cultivate for decades, even hundreds of years, why would they pass on the throne to someone else?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was stunned.

Obviously, this question was beyond her thinking.

After a long moment, she frowned and said uncertainly, "Could it be that the gods are not truly immortal and they will die too?"

"Hey, it's not easy for you to have such a guess." Lu Feng said jokingly.

Seeing that Xiao Wu seemed to be about to pounce on him again, Lu Feng changed the subject and said, "The purpose of establishing the God Realm is to protect the continent, which is great. But we can boldly guess that the God Realm also has many restrictions."

"For example, gods are not allowed to return to the mainland, they cannot leave their posts without permission, and there is a strict hierarchy among gods."

Seeing Xiao Wu still looking confused, Lu Feng smiled and said, "Let me give you another example. If you were the Soul Beast Emperor, would you give up the throne easily?"

Lu Feng recalled the description in the original book, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

Why are those old gods willing and even eager to find successors?
Is it because they don’t like it?
Or do you want to do charity?
Xiao Wu lowered her head, obviously thinking about this question.

She had practiced for tens of thousands of years and finally reached the level of one hundred thousand years. Naturally, she was unwilling to give up her status easily.

If she wasn't sure she could survive the next catastrophe, she wouldn't have chosen to transform.

"Yeah, you're right." Xiao Wu nodded, with a hint of agreement in her tone.

Then, she couldn't help but curl her lips, "Then why do you think the gods are looking for an heir?"

Lu Feng rolled his eyes at her and found that Xiao Wu seemed to have returned to her silly self again. He couldn't help feeling helpless.

His eyes were serious as he continued, "A star is a divine position, similar to the ministers in the court, with a hierarchy. But for the gods, this hierarchy is a complete constraint."

"Let's make another bold assumption. The outside threats to Douluo Continent have actually disappeared. The gods want to get rid of the shackles of the throne, so they look for an honest man to take over."

Xiao Wu blinked, obviously surprised by the words of this "savior".

"Yeah, you're right." She nodded.

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly at this time, and he found that he seemed to have found the key point of the problem.

There is only one extraterritorial plane mentioned in the original work, the Abyss Plane. However, the power of this plane is not strong, and their leader seems to be only a first-level god.

In ancient times, there may have been many similar planes.

The gods of Douluo Continent had no choice but to seal off the Douluo Universe.

Now, the threat from the outside world has disappeared. Only in this situation will the gods look for successors and hand over the throne.

Gradually, Lu Feng felt that his thoughts were completely clear.

In the absence of external enemies, the throne of God becomes a confinement and cultivation can no longer be improved.

A first-level god is just a first-level god and can never defeat the God King.

Therefore, the gods will look for successors and hand over the throne to them, so that they can break free from the shackles and pursue a higher realm.

"Why do you think that the position of God has become a burden?"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "That's a god. How many soul masters dare not even think about cultivating to level 100!"

Lu Feng smiled, with a hint of emotion in his tone: "Yes, for everyone, the position of God is a huge temptation, there is no reason to refuse."

He collected his thoughts and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder: "Let's go, we should go back to the mainland."

Xiao Wu nodded and stood next to Lu Feng.

A layer of light blue light enveloped the two people, and the next moment, their figures disappeared into the Shura Temple.

At this moment, the hall was empty except for the statue.

"Finally back!"

On the ground, feeling the fresh air blowing towards him, Lu Feng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Lu Feng, are we going to the Spirit Hall or to look for Tang San next?"

When mentioning the latter, a hint of coldness clearly flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes.

Lu Feng thought for a while, "With my current strength, it's still a bit difficult to defeat the Spirit Hall. Let's go find Tang San first, let me see where he is now."

As he spoke, his soul power surged, and Luo Wupao appeared at his feet.

"Hey!"

Luo Wupao rubbed Lu Feng's trouser leg affectionately, then raised his nose and sniffed Xiao Wu's body.

"Your martial spirit is so cute."

Xiao Wu bent down and patted Wu Pao's big head. It seemed that no girl could resist the furry yellow puppy.

"I picked it up." Lu Feng smiled faintly.

Luo Wupao raised his little nose into the air, and soon, he began to shout happily.

"Sunset Forest? Tang San is in Tiandou City? That's a coincidence."

Lu Feng touched his chin, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "It's been several years since we last met, I don't know if Yanyan misses me."

Meanwhile, Sunset Forest.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San who was meditating and the six ten thousand year spirit rings surrounding him, his eyes full of excitement.

Nineteen-year-old Soul Emperor!
