Douluo Continent: Tang San has already taken off, and I'm only just arriving.

Chapter 93 Thor's Legacy
Chen Yichuan succeeded.

He absorbed the soul ring of the 48-year-old Thunder Holy Dragon, and then fused with the left leg bone provided by the dragon.

His soul power surged to level 89.

He was just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo.

The Thunder Holy Dragon's spirit ring provided him with two spirit skills.

Two extremely powerful soul skills.

Firstly, a powerful offensive soul skill: Thunder Tribulation!
Simply put, this soul skill allows Chen Yichuan to summon a lightning tribulation.

The strength of a lightning tribulation depends on the individual's own soul power.

Secondly, a rule-based soul skill, Ultimate Thunder.

When Chen Yichuan uses this soul skill, he can possess speed comparable to lightning, and during this process, no force can stop him or harm him.

His 48-year-old left leg bone also provided him with two soul skills.

These are the Bone-Transforming Divine Dragon and the Thunder Pool Domain.

The Bone Transformation Divine Dragon, when activated, can summon a 48-year-old Thunder Holy Dragon to fight alongside him. As for the timing of the summoning, it depends on the individual's cultivation level.

With Chen Yichuan's current strength, he can only summon the Thunder Holy Dragon for five seconds.

As for the Thunder Pool Domain, it is an even more powerful domain-type soul skill.

Unlike his Thunder Domain, the Thunder Pool Domain can only suppress one person at a time. No matter how powerful that person is, even if they are a demigod, as long as they have not become a god, they can be suppressed or even sealed within the domain.

In addition, there were other gains.

After becoming a Contra, his Thunder Domain was fully activated.

Within the Thunder Domain, one's own power is amplified by 90%, while the opponent's power is suppressed by 90%.

Of course, this is assuming the enemy's strength is at the same level as Chen Yichuan's, or even lower.

With the help of this domain, the soul skill that Chen Yichuan had always regarded as useless, Yan Yu Illusion God, could directly unleash 120% of its power.

It cannot be said that it is not powerful.

Of course, this was not his greatest gain.

The greatest gain was the legacy of Thor.

Just as he became a Contra, Thor's voice rang in his mind.

According to Thor, he should activate Thor's legacy when he successfully absorbs his seventh spirit ring.

However, his seventh spirit ring did not absorb a lightning-attribute spirit ring, which is why it has been delayed until now.

The reason he felt dazed when he was preparing to absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring was because of Thor's guidance.

If he did not absorb lightning-attribute spirit rings for his eighth and ninth spirit rings, then he would have completely missed out on the inheritance of the God of Thunder.

Thor also didn't want to stay in the realm of the gods anymore, which is why he intervened to give a warning.

Although absorbing a divinely bestowed soul ring can grant a soul master the most suitable soul ring, its attributes are ultimately transformed from immortal spiritual power and are not purely lightning attributes.

To inherit Thor's position, one's attributes must be pure.

He was also secretly relieved, as he had almost missed this opportunity.

“Lucky little fellow, you have heard about my situation in the realm of gods. Do you still want to inherit my divine position?”

Thor's voice echoed in Chen Yichuan's mind once again.

Unlike other gods, the Thunder God has no place of lineage.

In this respect, he is not even as good as the Rakshasa God.

At least the Rakshasa God attached his own place of inheritance to the Asura God King's place of inheritance.

Thor's method for choosing a successor is simple: encountering a tribulation of lightning.

Whether it's a spirit beast or a human.

Although no one in the Douluo Continent faces a tribulation due to a breakthrough in strength, other worlds do.

He did not initially intend to choose a successor on the Douluo Continent.

It was Chen Yichuan's exceptional appearance that caught his attention.

Of course, Thor's choice of successor in this way is also related to his own divine status.

Just as he had guessed, Thor's divine position in the divine realm was only that of a second-level god.

However, his strength is among the top of all first-level gods.

As for why this situation occurred, it is naturally because he lost the initiative.

Logically speaking, with his strength, even if he lost the initiative and was under the command of the God of Destruction, he should still have a way to be promoted to a first-level god.

Thor, however, did not do that.

All his efforts over the years have been focused on self-improvement, specifically on attaining divinity.

Because of the unfair treatment he received, he felt no sense of belonging to the divine realm.

If he hadn't wanted to use the realm of gods to help him improve his strength, he would have left long ago.

Now, his strength has reached its limit. Once he leaves the God Realm and breaks free from the shackles of his divine position, he will be able to possess the strength of a peak first-level god.

Naturally, they wanted to pass on the divine position, so they simply ran away.

Otherwise, if the God of Destruction discovers his true strength, he will surely have to stay and work for him.

Therefore, Thor didn't have much to give Chen Yichuan.

It has only one second-level deity position and some divine power.

He wouldn't even pass down the divine artifact, but he would help Chen Yichuan forge his own.

"inherit!"

Chen Yichuan made his decision after only a moment's thought.

All he needs is a springboard, just like Thor is now, to use this divine position as a bridge to reach a higher level and thus enhance his power.

Of course, Thor's potential is still great; with some manipulation, he can be elevated to a first-level deity.

Even waiting for upheaval in the divine realm, expanding one's divine position, or seizing power from others can elevate one to the level of a god-king.

"Lucky kid, you've accepted my position, so I won't be so stingy."

"Now, let's begin the divine test."

"If it weren't for the rules of the divine realm, I would have instilled everything into you right now."

"There's no need for nine exams anymore, six exams will suffice."

"Thor was the first to be tested. He survived the eighth heavenly tribulation and was rewarded with the method of forging divine artifacts."

"Thor's second test: comprehend and master the use of lightning. The reward is an increase in the age of your spirit rings. The more thorough your understanding of the lightning element, the higher the age of your spirit rings will be. You can add the age of your spirit rings to whichever spirit ring you feel like."

"Thunder God's third trial: He obtained a 100,000-year soul ring and was rewarded with an increase of 30,000 years in the age of his right arm bone."

"Thor's fourth trial: Possessing a full set of soul bones, the reward is Thor's exclusive divine skill."

"Thor's fifth test: Forge your own divine weapon. The reward is 100% affinity with Thor, and you will be granted the position of Thor."

"Thor's sixth trial: upgrade Thor's divine position, reward: Thor's Mansion."

Thor's voice kept echoing in Chen Yichuan's mind.

After hearing this series of conditions, his first thought was that he wouldn't even bother acting anymore.

The first four tests were a piece of cake for him.

The fifth test was the most difficult, but the first test had already provided a solution, so he felt it wouldn't be too hard to complete.

The sixth exam was the most difficult.

Thor was forced to do things he himself didn't want to do.

However, this does not conflict with his goals.

The problem is that as long as the fifth test is completed, one will have already obtained the position of Thor.

This is even more excessive than the actions of the sea god.

He suddenly realized that the tribulations he had encountered before might not have been such a bad thing after all.

They've clearly put aside the benefits and are just waiting for me to get away with it.
"Begin the first test for Thor!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Yichuan immediately began the divine test.

In terms of inherited status, he was already far behind Tang San, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong.

I need to speed things up.

"Thor's First Test Begins!"

As Thor's voice rang out, the sky above suddenly changed.

Thunderclouds gathered and, in an instant, covered an area of ​​over a hundred miles.

Within the thunderclouds, countless lightning bolts writhed, carrying a violent destructive power, as if they were about to destroy everything in the world.

In a daze, the world seemed to end.

Between heaven and earth, only Chen Yichuan and the thunderclouds in the sky remained.

Salas, Qian Renxue, and their group all moved away.

Before leaving, Salas didn't forget to take the thunder dragon's corpse with him; it belonged to his grandson, so he naturally had to keep it safe.

"Is this Thor's first test?"

"It definitely has a suffocating feeling."

Faced with this overwhelming power, Chen Yichuan showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he possessed an unprecedentedly sharp and determined spirit.

After so many years in this world, I've finally reached this point.

Finally, there was room for maneuver, and corresponding measures were taken.

With Thor's divine position, even if he couldn't achieve final victory, he was confident he could protect his grandfather and Vivian.

To be honest, despite having countless people around him, there are only two people he truly considers his own.

One is my maternal grandfather, and the other is my sister Weiwei.

Even his two fiancées didn't truly consider them as one of their own.

At least, not yet.

"The seventh soul skill, martial soul true form!"

Chen Yichuan directly activated his Martial Soul True Body.

This was the first time he had used his Martial Soul True Form to fight an enemy.

This was also the first time that the true form of the Martial Soul was revealed to the world.

White spirit rings appeared around him.

Judging by the color alone, it might give the illusion that this is a ten-year soul ring.

However, upon closer inspection, one can vaguely discern that within this white spirit ring, there are wisps of golden light.

It is the unique 900,000-year soul ring of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"This spirit ring..."

Not far away, Qian Renxue sensed Chen Yichuan's soul ring, and a strange expression appeared in her eyes.

With her current eyesight and cultivation level, she could naturally tell that Chen Yichuan's soul ring was no ordinary thing.

Moreover, she didn't think Chen Yichuan would absorb a ten-year spirit ring as his seventh spirit ring.

To her surprise, Chen Yichuan's seventh spirit ring was even more powerful than her own.

It should be noted that her seventh spirit ring was sacrificed by a spirit beast that was 290,000 years old.

She found that she understood Chen Yichuan less and less.

Even now, she has already participated in the divine examination and is considered to be the next Angel God.

I still can't see through this little guy, Chen Yichuan.

His actions were too mysterious.

As Chen Yichuan unleashed his Martial Soul True Form, a gigantic Thunderous Hell Vine appeared between heaven and earth.

Its body is nearly a hundred feet tall, and when viewed from below, it gives one the feeling of being able to block out the sky and the sun.

Faced with the impending tribulation of lightning, he showed no sign of backing down or showing any awe. Instead, he exuded a sharp aura, as if he were taunting the approaching tribulation.

Rooted in the earth, defying the immortals with mortal strength, looking down upon everything.

This is the Thunderous Hell Vine.

"How many years old is his seventh spirit ring? Why is his martial spirit true body so powerful?"

Qian Renxue was utterly shocked. She had come here simply to see how Chen Yichuan would absorb a spirit ring that was over 400,000 years old, in preparation for his own ninth spirit ring.

Unexpectedly, I witnessed this scene.

Even though she had long held Chen Yichuan in high regard, with each interaction she had with him, this kid always managed to surprise her.

Beyond one's own comprehension.

Qian Renxue even had the illusion that even if she became an angel god, she would still be no match for Chen Yichuan.

Everything is too absurd.

"Boom!"

With a deep, muffled sound, a waterfall of thunder descended from the sky.

Completely envelop Chen Yichuan.

"A sword that defies the gods!"

After unleashing his Martial Soul True Form, Chen Yichuan used his self-created Soul Skill. The power displayed by this sword strike far exceeded his current level.

Even a titled Douluo can be killed with a single sword strike.

A dazzling sword light flashed between heaven and earth, bursting forth with endless cold light, stretching for dozens of miles, directly splitting the lightning tribulation in two.

This lightning tribulation did not cause him any damage.

The next day, the lightning tribulation struck again.

But it still didn't cause any harm to Chen Yichuan.

Until the third black lightning tribulation descended.

"This lightning tribulation?"

Chen Yichuan's intuition told him that the power contained in this lightning tribulation was beyond his imagination.

Moreover, he also experienced something unprecedented during this tribulation of lightning.

Just as he was about to gather his power and unleash his soul skill to completely shatter the lightning tribulation, the scene before him suddenly changed.

It was as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.

He returned to the beginning.

They returned to the time when their martial spirit had just awakened.

His martial soul wasn't the Thunderous Hell Vine; it was just an ordinary thunder vine.

Through hard work and continuous improvement, they attempted to change the situation.

But he was ultimately just an ant; how could he possibly change the course of events?
Tang San won the championship as always in the Soul Master Competition.

His methods and his involvement remain unchanged.

Grandpa was still just an ordinary Contra Master, and he was verbally abused by that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang.

Five years later, his strength had only reached the Soul Master level.

No matter what he did or how he planned, he never changed the overall situation.

The battle between the two gods has begun, and the Spirit Hall has lost.

Tang San has won the victory, but his maternal grandfather is about to be punished.

Faced with countless powerful enemies, neither Grandpa nor Vivian could change the situation.

Is waiting to die the only outcome?

Chen Yichuan felt that everything happening around him was very real. He had verified this many times before; this was indeed a real world.

Or rather, all those smooth-sailing maneuvers he had previously undertaken were merely a figment of his imagination.

This is the real reality.

"Grandpa, Sister Weiwei, I will avenge you."

Then, Chen Yichuan fled.

Even though Salas and Vivian were nearby, he didn't offer any help and fled like a stray dog.

Indeed, both Vivian and Salas held considerable weight in his heart.

But it only has weight.

His only concern has always been himself.

All those feelings and ties were nothing more than self-hypnosis, a way for him to find solace in his own heart.

Even after being reborn here and truly living here, he still can't accept that this is a real world.

To put it bluntly, this is just a fantasy world.

Perhaps for various reasons, he was reborn here.

Perhaps there are things behind this that I don't know.

It is quite possible that he was just someone else's experiment.

Or perhaps, this was just a dream.

Knowing it was fake, he sought out things that were almost identical to reality to fill the void in his lonely heart.

Only in this way can I avoid having wild thoughts and going crazy.

This is the real him.

They didn't treat anyone as a real family member at all.

Chen Yichuan escaped.

To avoid losing himself, becoming confused, or going insane, he continued to deceive himself, constantly imprinting his thoughts on his mind.

Countless times, he told himself that Salas was his grandfather and that he must avenge him.

We must take revenge.

After escaping, he worked hard to become stronger. After Tang San ascended to immortality, he used various means to incite Tang San's descendants to fight each other until everyone perished.

During this process, he met Qian Renxue, and the two got together.

But there was no emotion involved.

Calling him a lover is an understatement; he's more like a tool.

The more deeply he gets involved with the people in this world, the more sense he has of existence, which prevents him from turning into a madman.

Later, he found the path to godhood, but during the divine trials, he had to make a choice.

He could only choose between his lover and his divine position.

He resolutely chose the position of god.

After entering the God Realm, his enemy Tang San had already become a God King, while he was only a second-level god.

Thus, he chose another way of life.

She erased some of her past memories to adapt to her new identity, build relationships with those around her, and even befriend Tang San's subordinates.

He became friends with Ma Hongjun while drunk, and also became friends with Oscar and his group.

He even married a wife in the realm of gods.

As for Salas, Qian Renxue, and Vivian, they are all in the past.

This is the real him.

If one day someone tries to harm Ma Hongjun and his friends, he will help them if he is strong enough; otherwise, he will leave, find an opportunity to end this bond, and seek other bonds to fill the void in his heart.

"Congratulations on completing Thor's first test. Your reward is the method of forging divine artifacts."

Just then, a voice rang in Chen Yichuan's mind.

The voice was so close, yet it seemed as if it were separated by endless years.

"An assessment?"

Chen Yichuan slowly regained his composure and realized his own predicament.

Since the first bond is still intact and things are going very smoothly, why linger in this place?
Then he regained consciousness.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

"What's wrong with this kid's character?"

"The assessment was completed so easily."

Thor was deeply moved.

The final tribulation lightning was something Chen Yichuan could easily withstand with his own strength; the real test was a test of his mental state.

Although it wasn't mentioned before, it is a real entity.

After all, every deity must pass this test.

According to his estimate, it would take Chen Yichuan at least a year and a half to complete the mission and emerge from it.

I never imagined it would all happen in just a few days.

Fortunately, he doesn't like to look into other people's memories. If he knew what Chen Yichuan experienced in the illusion, Thor would have to consider whether Chen Yichuan was suitable to accept the divine position.

Have you completed the assessment?

After a long while, Chen Yichuan finally regained some of his senses.

Now that we're back in this time period, let's continue to move forward smoothly.

I still retain all the bonds I have with them, and I've stopped treating them like two-dimensional characters.

At the same time, the method of forging divine artifacts appeared in his mind.

It must be said that the forging methods in Douluo Continent are extremely crude.

Simple material combinations, mixed with some insights, and then a surge of violent energy are all it takes to bring about a fundamental transformation.

The power of God will be provided by Thor.

He was already preparing to leave, so naturally he wouldn't be stingy with these things.

What is consumed is nothing more than Chen Yichuan's future assets.

"Lucky little guy, you'd better become a god soon."

Thor gave one last instruction, and then his voice disappeared.

A purple spear symbol has appeared on Chen Yichuan's forehead.

It is the mark of the Thunder God's divine lineage.

After calming himself down, Chen Yichuan walked toward where his grandfather and the others were.

"Grandpa, don't worry, all the problems have been solved."

Chen Yichuan remained expressionless, as if he had never done those things in the illusion.

"You have also become the successor of the gods."

Qian Renxue looked at the mark on Chen Yichuan's forehead and couldn't help but ask.

Even though I had already guessed the truth, I still found it somewhat unbelievable when I actually learned the answer.

"Your path to godhood was much smoother than mine."

Chen Yichuan smiled calmly, which could be considered as tacitly acknowledging the matter.

He then ignored Qian Renxue and instead studied the corpse of the Thunder Holy Dragon with his grandfather.

Although he was protected by Golden Crocodile Douluo and did not suffer any harm during the previous explosion, he still felt it clearly.

That was the soul core self-destructing.

Even he overlooked, or rather, was unaware that the soul beasts of this era also possessed soul cores.

Although when my grandfather was researching soul cores, he claimed that he only had such insights based on the experience of 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

However, whether soul cores were first possessed by soul beasts or first researched by humans is not explicitly mentioned in the original work.

But now it seems that the first to possess a soul core were the soul beasts.

This is understandable, as soul beasts are enormous and possess immense power, especially 100,000-year-old soul beasts, whose soul power far exceeds that of titled Douluo.

However, they are unable to fully utilize all their strength.

The Soul Core thus came into being, which is entirely reasonable.

Presumably, the reason why this Thunder Holy Dragon's soul power leaked out was because there was a problem with its soul core, which also caused it to fail to survive the subsequent tribulation, and that it ceased to exist ten thousand years later.

"And there's an unexpected surprise!"

Just then, Chen Yichuan discovered that there was still condensed soul power within the body of this Thunder Holy Dragon.
