Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

The dark space shattered.

Di Tian suddenly opened his eyes.

At that moment, the dark elements of heaven and earth seemed to have found a king and surged toward him madly.

His injuries healed instantly, and a dark divine armor as black as ink automatically appeared on his body. Behind him, a pair of huge dark dragon wings spread out, blotting out the sky.

Become a god!

First-class deity, God of Darkness, return to your rightful place!
"hold head high!!"

A dragon's roar, filled with joy and divine power, resounded throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest and even the entire Douluo Continent.

All the soul beasts, regardless of their level, prostrated themselves on the ground at this moment, bowing and worshipping in the direction of the Lake of Life.

They sensed it.

Their king became a god!

The curse that prevented soul beasts from becoming gods was broken at this moment!
Di Tian transformed into human form, still dressed in black, but his demeanor was completely different. The coldness had vanished, replaced by a profound, noble, and majestic aura.

He walked up to Hu Bai and Gu Yuena, knelt down heavily on both knees, and performed the highest form of courtly salute.

"The Dark God Di Tian kowtows in gratitude to His Majesty the Holy Emperor! Thank you, my Lord!"

"In this life, Di Tian is willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty and the Lord, and would not hesitate to die ten thousand times!"

Gu Yuena stepped forward and personally helped her loyal subordinate up: "Di Tian, ​​you did it. You are the pride of the soul beasts."

Hu Bai smiled and nodded: "That's right. From today onwards, you will be the third first-level god's subordinate in my Temple of Destiny."

"You can stay in the realm of gods, or you can temporarily guard the stars. When we need to go up, we can go up together."

Di Tian bowed and said, "This subordinate is willing to stay in Douluo for the time being to stabilize my cultivation level, and at the same time... I also want to give more soul beasts hope."

"allow."

……

The news of Di Tian's ascension to godhood spread like wildfire throughout the divine realm.

Divine Council.

The God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, and the two Gods of Good and Evil looked at each other in bewilderment.

"A soul beast has become a god?" The God King of Destruction's eyelids twitched wildly. "This is an ironclad rule established by the God Realm after the Dragon God War! Who dares to be so bold... Oh, it's Little White? Well, never mind then."

Although the gods were shocked, and some of the more conservative deities even wanted to protest, when they learned that this was the work of the God of Fate, and that the Dragon God was present, all their doubts were swallowed back.

Rules? Hu Bai is the rule! Gu Yuena's rules are the rules!

After resolving the matter with Di Tian, ​​Hu Bai returned to the Holy Emperor Palace.

He still has six first-level divine positions remaining: the God of Earth, the God of Wind, the God of Fire, the God of Water, the God of Space, and the God of Thunder.

"The position of god is desirable, but it's hard to find a suitable candidate," Hu Bai sighed.

Gu Yuena peeled a divine fruit beside her and chuckled, "Your standards are too high. If you were outside, even a second-level god would have his brains smashed out."

"Better to have none than to have bad ones." Hu Bai shook his head. "My team is all about elites."

His gaze turned toward the Hall of Worship, where several elderly people who had dedicated their lives to the Martial Soul Empire lived.

"Second Grandfather, Golden Crocodile Douluo".

The image of the burly, strong-willed old man flashed through Hu Bai's mind.

"Level 100, Martial Soul: Golden Crocodile King, a top-tier defensive beast martial soul with innate earth attribute. His seniority is even higher than that of Qian Daoliu's grandfather, and he has been loyal throughout his life." (Plane upgrade, current maximum level is 120)

"The position of Earth God belongs to him alone."

Hu Bai pondered for a moment, then his gaze softened as he looked in another direction: the Xie family mansion.

His parents lived there.

Father: Xie Tian; Mother: Hu Leyao.

"My father's martial soul was the Dragon Pattern Moon Blade, a very unique weapon martial soul. It not only possessed the dragon's might of a sub-dragon species, but also contained an extremely sharp spatial cutting attribute."

"Over the years, with the help of my various elixirs and resources, my father's cultivation level has long since reached the level of a ninety-nine-level Limit Douluo, but he is suffering from the lack of a divine position to guide him."

"The position of the God of Space is a perfect match for Father's Martial Soul."

With that thought in mind, Hu Bai no longer hesitated.

"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders. Solve your own family's problems first."

……

Wuhun City, Worship Hall.

This place is much quieter than before. With Qian Daoliu's ascension to godhood and departure, the person in charge here has become the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo.

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo was sitting in a grand chair, staring blankly at the falling leaves outside the window.

He's too old, almost two hundred years old.

"Big brother became a god, that kid became a god-king... even that girl Xiaoxue..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, "Though I have lived a life of great renown, has this truly been my end?"

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was unwilling to accept it.

He was unwilling to accept that his earth-shattering cultivation would ultimately turn into nothing more than a handful of dust.

at this time.

"Second Grandfather, why are you sighing?"

A gentle voice echoed in the spacious hall.

Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly looked up, two golden beams shooting out from his turbid eyes: "Who?!"

In the center of the hall, the space rippled slightly, and Hu Bai, dressed in white, appeared out of thin air. He did not release any divine power, acting just like an ordinary junior visiting an elder.

"Your Majesty... the Holy Emperor?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo was startled and quickly tried to get up to pay his respects.

Hu Bai stepped forward, pressed down on Golden Crocodile Douluo's shoulder, and a surge of pure divine power instantly flowed into his body, calming his restless blood and qi.

"Second Grandfather, there are no outsiders here, just call me Xiaobai."

Feeling the renewed vitality within his body, Golden Crocodile Douluo was so excited that his beard trembled: "Little White... how come you have time to come down and see this old bone of mine?"

Hu Bai sat opposite him, looked at the old man, and said solemnly, "Second Grandfather, I've come this time to bestow upon you a great opportunity. Or rather, to offer you a choice."

"A choice?" Golden Crocodile Douluo was taken aback.

Hu Bai flipped his palm, and a yellowish-brown divine core, exuding a heavy, mountain-like aura and seemingly carrying the will of the earth, floated in his palm.

"This is a first-level deity, the position of the Earth God."

boom!
A thunderbolt seemed to explode in Golden Crocodile Douluo's mind, and he froze. He stared intently at the divine spark, his breathing becoming heavy and labored.

A divine position! And a first-level divine position at that!
"This...is for me?" Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice trembled, incredulous.

"It's for you, but..." Hu Bai changed the subject, his expression turning serious, "Second Grandfather, although your talent is exceptional, you are getting on in years, and your physical functions are beginning to decline. Directly fusing with a godhood would be too much for your body to handle; you would explode and die."

The fervor in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes cooled slightly: "Then..." "Therefore, I will not directly help you become a god, as that would not be in accordance with the rules," Hu Bai said in a deep voice. "I will initiate the Nine Trials of the Earth God for you."

"This is a test, and also a process of reshaping the body and being reborn. You need to break through the limits of mortals step by step in nine life-and-death trials to adapt to the power of God."

"If you succeed, you will become a first-level earth god and have endless lifespan."

"If we fail..." Hu Bai didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Golden Crocodile Douluo remained silent.

He looked at the divine spark, then at his own aged hands.

A moment later, he suddenly stood up, and a terrifying phantom of a golden crocodile king roared behind him.

"I've spent my whole life fighting! Fighting for rankings, fighting for strength! Now that I have another chance to fight for destiny, how can I back down?!"

"Little Bai! I accept this test!"

"Even dying on the road to divine trials is better than dying of old age in bed!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Hu Bai's eyes: "Good! This is the Second Grandfather I know! Golden Crocodile Douluo, never gives up!"

"go with!"

Hu Bai flicked his finger, and the Earth God's divine essence transformed into a beam of yellow light, disappearing into the Golden Crocodile Douluo's brow.

"The Nine Trials of the Earth God Begin!"

A thick beam of yellow light enveloped Golden Crocodile Douluo, and his aura began to rise steadily. Although his originally aged face did not immediately become younger, the decaying aura was dispelled and replaced by a soaring fighting spirit.

Hu Bai left behind several bottles of life-strengthening elixir and quietly departed.

The road has been paved; whether it's passable depends on how tough this old crocodile is.

……

After leaving the offering hall, Hu Bai arrived at the Xie family's residence.

This is his home, the place where he was born.

In the back garden, Xie Tian was practicing his swordsmanship, holding a strange curved sword with dragon patterns.

Although he did not use his soul power, every time he swung his sword, tiny black cracks appeared in the surrounding space, as if cloth was being cut.

"Good sword skills."

Hu Bai's figure appeared, and he clapped and praised.

"Who?!"

Xie Tian's eyes narrowed, and he swung his sword backhand, a strike that contained his decades of understanding of the laws of space, as fast as lightning.

Ding!
Hu Bai extended two fingers and gently pinched the sharp blade.

"Dad, it's me." Hu Bai said with a helpless smile, "You're being way too vigilant."

"noob?!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Xie Tian quickly sheathed his sword, his face beaming with ecstatic joy: "You brat! You finally remember to come back and see your father and mother!"

At this moment, Hu Leyao, who had heard the commotion, also ran out of the house. When she saw her son, she almost burst into tears and held Hu Bai's hand, asking him how he was doing.

The family of three sat down at the stone table, enjoying their rare time together.

After three rounds of drinking.

Hu Bai looked at his father and suddenly asked, "Dad, your cultivation level should have reached the bottleneck of level ninety-nine by now, right?"

Xie Tian took a sip of wine and sighed, "Yes. I've been stuck at this level for several years. The limits of mortals are really not easy to break through. Without a divine position, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to break through to level one hundred in this lifetime..."

Although the plane has been upgraded, making it able to accommodate gods and soul masters below level 120, breaking through from level 99 to level 100 is still not a simple matter.

Hu Bai smiled slightly and put down his wine glass: "Dad, what if I told you that I've prepared a shrine for you?"

"Cough cough cough!" Xie Tian spat out a mouthful of wine, his eyes widening. "What did you say?"

Hu Bai didn't keep anyone in suspense and opened his palm.

A rhomboid divine core, radiating a silver glow and constantly distorting and folding the surrounding space, appeared.

"This is the position of a first-level deity, the God of Space."

Hu Bai looked at the dragon-patterned moon blade in his father's hand and said, "Your martial soul has spatial attributes, which is a perfect match for this divine position."

Actually, if we rank them according to their suitability for the divine positions in the space, Hu Bai would be first, his elder brother Xie Yue second, and his father third.

The main reason is that the God of Space initially favored him, so naturally he wouldn't pass on his divine position to Xie Yue, who was of a lower rank. Now, both he and Xie Yue have become gods.

At present, Xie Tian is the most suitable candidate.

Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were both stunned.

"This...this is too valuable..." Xie Tian was somewhat at a loss. "Xiao Bai, although you are now a God King, this kind of first-level godhood is definitely a scarce resource. You should give it to someone who needs it more, or use it to win over your subordinates..."

“In my heart, no one is more important than my family. And, Father, you should know that I would never do something against the rules just because of family ties.”

“If you weren’t the most suitable candidate for the divine position right now, I could have waited until the hundred-year period was over and taken you and Mom to the divine realm together, and the two of you could have become priests.”

Hu Bai looked at his father and said, "Dad, although your body is strong, it has not yet been baptized by divine power. This spatial divine position has extremely domineering power. I have also prepared the Nine Trials of the Spatial God for you."

"You need to pass these nine trials to fully master the laws of space and evolve your Dragon Pattern Moon Blade into a true spatial divine blade."

As Xie Tian looked at the divine spark, the intoxication in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by the pride of a father and the desire of a powerful individual.

He stood up, patted Hu Bai on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Good lad! I didn't raise you for nothing!"

"My greatest achievement in this life is having a son like you. Since my son is so filial, how can I back down? How can I brag to my granddaughter later?"

"I accept this test!"

Hu Bai said no more, and activated the spatial divine spark, injecting it into Xie Tian's body.

"The Nine Trials of the Space God, Begin!"

boom!
A dazzling silver beam shot into the sky, enveloping the entire Xie family mansion.

The dragon-patterned moon blade in Xie Tian's hand automatically floated into the air, bathed in silver light. The originally crimson blade began to transform, gradually turning into a translucent silver, with intricate spatial divine patterns flowing on it.

After doing all this, Hu Bai quietly left.

As for his mother, he doesn't currently have a suitable divine position for her; perhaps his sister Huliena will.

As for the remaining divine positions, Hu Bai does not intend to pass them on for the time being, because there are indeed no suitable candidates.

For example, the most powerful god of wind in the entire continent right now is his third grandfather, Qingluan.

However, Qingluan's ninth spirit ring is not 100,000 years old; its upper limit has been locked.

He considered him family, and perhaps after his death, he could take him to the mortal realm to become a priest or something.

The divine realm has only recently expanded, and it is precisely the time when new personnel are needed.

Moreover, his subordinates cannot only be first-level gods; he also needs second-level gods, even third-level gods, and priests.

Therefore, he plans to wait until a hundred years later and bring all his relatives up with him, even if they are just priests.
