In Douluo, there is a way to die.

Chapter 42 Soul Core
The jade-white fairy grass was held up by the pure wind element, floating in the air. Under Gu Yuena's control, it flew to Yin Lan's side.

Dugu Bo's eyes were burning, but he did not act rashly. The medicinal herbs native to this place...the magical herbs were too strange. He was very patient and waited for Yin Lan's next words, fearing that he would miss something and die suddenly.

"Grandpa Dugu, if one day someone tells you that you can solve your family's poison by forcing the poison in your body into your soul bone..." Dugu Bo's eyes lit up when he heard the first half of Yin Lan's sentence, because it sounded like a feasible solution. He and Dugu Yan solved the problem of the family's poison, but if Dugu Yan's descendants failed to inherit the evolved martial spirit, what would they do then?
Unexpectedly, Yin Lan's tone suddenly changed the next second, "That's pure bullshit. Because, except for the external spirit bones that can evolve, normal spirit bones have a limit to their capacity. Once the spirit bones can't withstand the poison, you will definitely explode and die. Whoever told you this method wants to kill you."

...Luckily I heard her finish her words. This child really likes to breathe heavily when she speaks, which scared me.

Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched.

"Before introducing this magical herb, I need to first tell you about some new concepts." Yin Lan did not immediately hand over the magical herb, but instead talked about something else, "That is the 'Soul Core'."

"What?" This was a completely unfamiliar name, which made Dugu Bo a little confused.

"After a soul beast reaches 100,000 years old, the soul power within its body will be compressed from liquid to solid, and eventually all of it will transform into a solid core. This is the 'soul core,'" Yin Lan said, a concept Dugu Bo had never heard of. "This soul core will continuously rotate within the body of the 100,000-year-old soul beast, automatically absorbing soul power from the outside world and supplying it with its own use. This is why 100,000-year-old soul beasts have enormous soul power, as well as extremely strong all-round recovery and combat capabilities."

Dugu Bo did not interrupt, nor did he wonder how Yin Lan knew all this. He knew what to ask and what not to ask, especially after knowing Gu Yuena's strength. This made him sigh that there were so many mysterious forces hidden in this world. Yin Lan might be one of them. The twists and turns in these forces were not something that a "little Titled Douluo" like him could ask about casually (joy).

"And what I want to say is that this 'Soul Core' can also be condensed by humans as long as they accumulate enough," Yin Lan emphasized, pointing to the immortal grass floating beside him. "This is the 'Hunyuan Immortal Grass'. Eating it can remove the poison that has penetrated deep into the blood and bone marrow, as well as some residual drugs from past consumption. It can also strengthen the body and attract the vast soul power in the body to help compress it, helping the soul master to condense the soul core. It is perfect for Grandpa Dugu."

Strictly speaking, the condensation of soul core is only related to one's own accumulation and mental strength. For example, Huo Kaoyu condensed his first soul core at level 70, and Tang Wulin formed the prototype of his soul core at level 50.

No matter what, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely no problem to condense a soul core at level 90. After all, in the era of Douluo II, most Titled Douluo only had one soul core. Even Xu Tianran, who became a Titled Douluo by taking elixirs, still had a soul core.

At Yin Lan's signal, Gu Yuena controlled the Hunyuan Immortal Grass and floated towards Dugu Bo.

"I know that Grandpa Dugu has a poison pill within your body that condenses half of your strength. It's quite powerful. I never thought someone in this era could have discovered the prototype of a 'soul core' on their own. It's just that you're running out of energy. The remaining soul power isn't enough to suppress the poison while continuing to condense it. A prototype is just a prototype after all." Yin Lan sighed, then said the key point, "To use it, take the leaves of this herb one by one. With each leaf you take, absorb it through meditation. It will gradually increase your soul power. With this opportunity, using the poison pill in your body as a base, as I've said, at your dantian, I'll condense your soul power into a solid soul core, ultimately collecting all the toxins in your body."

"Alright! I'm grateful for your kindness!" Dugu Bo bowed to Yin Lan and was about to reach out to take the Hunyuan Immortal Grass in mid-air. But just as his hand was about to touch it, he hesitated, "But there is only this one immortal grass that is so suitable. If I eat it, what will happen to my granddaughter?"

"Under normal circumstances, the condensation of a soul core requires at least the accumulation of a Titled Douluo. Your granddaughter is far from using this immortal herb," ​​Yin Lan gave him a reassuring look. "Don't worry, I have another immortal herb that is more suitable for her. Once I have finished all the matters on this trip, Grandpa Dugu can bring her here."

"Thank you!" Dugu Bo finally said thank you, then sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrated his mental power, and began to condense the soul core according to Yin Lan's instructions.

"Sister Tianmeng, please take this opportunity to examine his body. I want to see the entire process of his soul core condensing!" Yin Lan immediately instructed Tianmeng within the Sea of ​​​​Spirit upon seeing this. A vast amount of spiritual energy was released from her body, allowing her to see through the flow of soul energy within Dugu Bo's body. She could clearly see the liquid soul energy, shimmering with white light, rapidly drawing out the toxins within his body, enveloping it and continuously pouring into the location of the poison pill. It was then compressed and gradually solidified. It began to slowly rotate clockwise around Dugu Bo's dantian. At the same time, streams of pure white energy continuously drained the toxins from his body, repairing his battered body.

This is also one of the main purposes of Yin Lan's trip, to observe the condensation of the soul core and accumulate experience in advance for her own future soul core condensation. At the very least, she must be able to condense the soul core at level 70 like Huo Kaoyu. She believes that after obtaining the Yuanyang Pot, the accumulation she has gained is definitely not inferior to Huo Kaoyu, and her mental power can keep up with the help of Tianmeng. The only thing she lacks is experience.

"...Is it necessary to give so much?" Gu Yuena looked at the serious look on the girl's face and asked somewhat depressedly, "Is it not enough for you to have me?"

"...I have a feeling this will be an era when gods walk the earth," Yin Lan glanced at her, then refocused his attention on Dugu Bo. "Making you the new Dragon God is a deal between you, me, Uncle Zi, and Aunt Lu. The attitudes of the other gods in the divine realm are still unknown, but I think if this matter is discovered, I'm afraid Uncle Zi and Aunt Lu will have to bear considerable pressure. After all, if you become the Dragon God, it means the beast race will have the opportunity to become gods, and it means the emergence of a large number of new gods in the future. This has nothing to do with race, but rather a conflict between the new gods and the old gods."

By then, racial conflicts may become insignificant matters. Hot news: among the twenty main gods and five great gods in the divine world, only the Asura God, the Angel God (may have been sent), the Sea God, the Rakshasa God, the Seven Deadly Sins, the God of Destruction, and the God of Emotions (may have not yet gone up) are human gods, while the remaining four gods of the destruction of good and evil lives, the seven elemental gods, and the God of Time are not human gods.

Conflicts will only arise between new gods and existing gods. Every new god, no matter what level he is, will mean a change in the power of the gods: a first-level god himself is enough to have the power to fight for power, and the gods below the first-level god will also choose different factions to stand on the side and strengthen the power of each faction.

And this is exactly the biggest resistance that the God of Destruction has always faced in wanting to expand the realm of gods. People don't really want to give up, but more and more new gods appear, and the rights of the old gods are constantly diluted. Then the gods will have no value.

"So, to avoid being exposed, and for everyone's future safety, you can only be my trump card. I don't want you to take action unless it's absolutely necessary, so I have to find a reliable 'thug'. I can't let you take action for everything in the future, right? And..." Yin Lan said solemnly, "There are some things that I must do myself."

Gu Yuena was silent.

Behind the two women, the silver-haired loli also fell silent, looking at the petite and weak, yet extremely strong figure with complicated eyes.

　I still want to mention one more thing. Everyone should have noticed that I was very serious about the transformation of Gu Yuena. I wanted to try to portray her well. It is hard to imagine that her performance and the setting given in the original work are the same person.

　　Oh, Laogu, Laogu! How could you be so weak? Three one-ring players couldn't beat a passerby with two ring players. Oh, that's not how you hide your weakness. How can you play like that?

　　Alas, it's too abstract, beautifying Bai as "lurking". She obviously has N ways to pass Douluo Dalu 3, but she plays it like this. When Tang Hao appeared in the plot, she was shocked and said he was so powerful.

　　It's not powerful at all, it's not shocking at all. You, who are in Douluo Dalu 3 and are shocked by the strength of a first-level god, are now shocked by the arrival of a second-level god, who is invincible. You are so stupid playing lurking that you really think you are a noob.
