Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 177 The Legacy of the Asura God
……

Seeing Ning Fengzhi chatting happily with the three education committee members, Xu Yang handed the place over to Ning Fengzhi via telepathy, then turned and left, returning to his secluded meditation room at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. His goal was for Qian Renxue to become a god, but that was according to the original story's timeline.

Now that Qian Daoliu has been seriously injured by him, Qian Renxue will definitely advance the time for inheriting the divine position in order to deal with the crisis.

Time is running out for him.

A lack of security is probably a common problem for every time traveler.

"Hopefully, the contents of these dragon horns don't contain any mental manipulation or attack techniques!"

Xu Yang took out the crimson dragon horn covered with blue patterns, prayed silently in his heart, and then probed into it with his spiritual power without hesitation. This was the only way he could possibly obtain the means to deal with the gods, and he couldn't not use it, especially when time was really running out.

As it turned out, Xu Yang had been overthinking things. There were no spiritual techniques on the dragon horns; all that was on them were the basic cultivation methods of the dragon race for the primordial spirit, as well as the methods for forging divine positions, which were quite detailed.

"By communicating with the will of heaven and earth through the faith of the planet's inhabitants, the will of heaven and earth can bestow its authority, forging a divine heart and condensing a divine personality. The divine heart and the divine personality are the two major carriers of a divine position, and neither can be lacking. However, the divine personality is more important."

After absorbing the information from the dragon horn, Xu Yang gained a certain understanding of divine positions. Simply put, divine positions are bestowed by the will of heaven and earth, which is composed of the will of all living beings and the will of the planet, equivalent to Gaia and Alaya in the West in his previous life.

Because all living beings are creatures within the planet, their faith is their will. When they come together, they are like a small Alaya-vijnana. Although they cannot affect the development of heaven and earth, they can pry open the will of heaven and earth and bestow authority, just like a key.

Of course, there are prerequisites for obtaining authority: the person receiving the authority must have a cultivation level of at least level 99 and possess the corresponding attribute power in order to bear the power of the corresponding authority.

Just like Tang San had to achieve 100% affinity with the Sea God before inheriting the Sea God's power, otherwise he would not be able to become a god even if the Sea God's legacy descended.

"My cultivation level is not high enough now, but I can prepare in advance and collect enough faith power. When my cultivation level reaches that level, I can directly use faith to influence the will of heaven and earth, make it bestow its authority, and become a god!"

Xu Yang made a decision and then focused on the transformation of his primordial spirit. After forming his golden core, his spiritual power level had been increasing and had long exceeded the limit of the Spirit Realm. However, he did not have the corresponding method, so he had not completed the transformation and reached the Divine Origin Realm.

The key to this is a powerful will; where the will goes, it reaches the heavens and the earth. Xu Yang already possessed this will. Whether it was the killing intent he honed in the City of Slaughter or the true meaning of the sun he comprehended from the Sun Martial Soul and the sun itself, both were forms of will. As long as he used his will to transform his soul, he could turn his soul into a primordial spirit.

Xu Yang didn't need to choose between the Will to Slaughter and the True Meaning of the Sun; he went straight for the True Meaning of the Sun. The Will to Slaughter wasn't suitable for Xu Yang, and he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.

Just then, a towering crimson pillar of light descended from the sky. The instant it appeared, the entire Seven Treasures City was dyed crimson, just like the former City of Slaughter. However, this light did not evoke a sense of coldness or evil, but rather a chilling and solemn light. And this pillar of light had only one target: Xu Yang, who was in his secluded cultivation room.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Dugu Bo, and the others all saw the point where the pillar of light landed, and they all rushed towards the location where Xu Yang was in seclusion. Faced with such a vast and magnificent scene, even Chen Xin felt his own insignificance.

The crimson beam of light gave Xu Yang a strange feeling. The external soul bone, the Sun Holy Blade, inside his body trembled slightly and then appeared in his right hand. The original white patterns on the blade twisted strangely, and the color changed from white to crimson.

Immediately afterwards, nine rectangular scarlet light screens flew out from the blade and appeared around Xu Yang. The scarlet light of the first screen was the brightest, while the other seven were somewhat dim.

The next second, the nine beams of light pierced straight into Xu Yang's brow. Xu Yang didn't even have time to react. Then, his vision blurred, and he found himself in a blood-stained crimson world, where a tall figure appeared out of thin air in the center.

The figure was burly, with three heads and six arms, his entire body enveloped in dark red magic patterns. Dark red light surrounded the figure, and he wore armor covered with dark red magic patterns. He had a pair of blood-red eyes and a chilling aura formed from tangible killing intent.

With just one glance, Xu Yang knew who the newcomer was—it was none other than the Asura God, one of the five great god-kings and one of the three enforcers of the divine realm.

"Although anyone who has traversed the City of Slaughter may inherit the position of the Asura God, I have never considered it, nor have I refined my skills in the God of Slaughter Domain. I shouldn't be enough to attract the attention of the Asura God. Why would he come looking for me?!"

Xu Yang was puzzled, believing that he should not have received the inheritance of the Asura God. However, what he did not know was that the Asura God had been watching him since he broke through the City of Slaughter, and the Asura God was aware of all his actions over the years.

The Asura God looked at Xu Yang and said coldly, "Xu Yang! In principle, gods cannot interfere with the succession of a divine position; at most, they can offer some preferential treatment. But you are simply too outstanding. You had the strength of a demigod during your Soul Saint period, and your achievements after reaching the god level are unimaginable. I do not want to lose you as my successor, so I will make an exception and project my divine thoughts to ask you personally whether you will inherit my Asura God's divine position."

As he spoke, the Asura God was also observing Xu Yang's reaction, but he did not see the excitement and exhilaration that other divine successors had when they encountered a divine position. Instead, Xu Yang was very calm, as if inheriting a divine position was the most normal thing.

"Why did you choose me?! Our attributes don't seem to match!" Upon seeing the God of Asura, Xu Yang suppressed his inner turmoil and asked in confusion.

"Very good! You are really good!" The Asura God was increasingly satisfied with Xu Yang. A rare smile appeared in his eyes as he continued, "As for the mismatch in attributes, that is not a problem for a god. Moreover, the sun and slaughter are not contradictory. The sun itself nurtures life, but at the same time it also brings death."

Furthermore, as the divine position is passed down, the killing god domain within you will continue to evolve, and your affinity with the Asura god will also increase. During this process, your body and soul will adapt to the power of the Asura god, and you will naturally be qualified to inherit the Asura god position.

"At that time, my status, strength, and power in the divine realm will all be yours!"
