Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 249 Jiang Yi: My opinion is, kill!

"Oh! Holy Son, what have you discovered?"

The two exchanged a glance, and the Ghost Emperor spoke first, his face showing confusion.

At that time, the fact that the Holy Son became the adopted son of Yun Ming and his wife was somewhat unexpected to him, but not surprising, as the Holy Son's talent made him worth winning over.

Jiang Yi had been by Ya Li's side the whole time, and he knew far more about her situation than they did.

However, Jiang Yi did not answer the Ghost Emperor's question immediately, but instead looked at Harosa beside him.

"If I'm not mistaken, the injury to Lord Hades was inflicted by Yali..."

Jiang Yi's gaze fell on Harosa, and he said with a confident expression.

"At that time, Dark Phoenix and I sensed a terrifying energy fluctuation. When I got there, only Yali was left..."

He recounted the events of that day in an orderly manner, subtly guiding their thoughts.

"Yes."

Harosa nodded slightly.

At that time, he was the only one who attacked Yali, which is not hard to guess.

"But with your strength, Emperor of the Underworld, even Yun Ming, who is known as the number one person on the continent, could not have seriously injured you so easily."

"Therefore, after Yali fell into a coma, I had the Dark Phoenix secretly investigate her condition... and in the end, we discovered a surprise."

"I believe you two will definitely be interested in this surprise."

At this point, Jiang Yi paused deliberately, a faint smile playing on his lips, his gaze lingering on the faces of the Ghost Emperor and Halosa.

To eliminate Yun Ming, the Holy Spirit Cult is the main force he can utilize; however, he must first throw out a sufficiently tempting bait.

"What surprise?"

Harosa frowned and pressed for an answer.

He hated this kind of person the most; they couldn't speak properly. The Ghost Emperor was like that, and now this Holy Son was the same.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Emperor beside him had a glint in his eyes, as if he had already guessed something.

Judging from the information gleaned from Harosa, it's likely that the Holy Son discovered the secret about that deity from Yali.

“We found traces of divine inheritance in Yali.”

Jiang Yi spoke calmly, but both of them were simultaneously startled.

"Divine inheritance?!"

Even with the Ghost Emperor's composure, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, somewhat losing his composure.

Since ancient times, there have been only two ways to become a god: one is to create one's own divine position, as is said, and the other is to inherit the divine lineage.

But with the disappearance of the divine realm, there are no more gods in the world, and obtaining the inheritance of the gods is almost impossible.

Now Jiang Yi is telling them that someone has obtained the inheritance of a god?!
"How is that possible...? Gods still exist in this world?"

Harosa's first reaction was disbelief.

Even though he had personally experienced Yali's divine attack, he still believed that it was nothing more than incomplete divine power that she had obtained from some ruins.

As a quasi-god, he knew all too well that what limited them from reaching the god level was never the barrier of realm, but the suppression of the entire plane.

If there were any remaining deities in the world, they would definitely be given special care by the plane. How could they have disappeared without a trace over ten thousand years?

Could it be Shrek...?

Immediately, he frowned again, his mind turning to Shrek Academy.

In the Douluo Continent, the two most recent instances of becoming gods were both achieved through divine inheritance, and both belonged to Shrek Academy.

They might have had ways to contact the divine realm—after all, the golden tree planted by the sea god himself still stands in the Sea God's Pavilion.

"The realm of gods has long since vanished, and even Shrek Academy has no way of knowing its whereabouts."

Jiang Yi seemed to see through his thoughts and added a sentence at the right time.

Let alone the fact that the God Realm has disappeared now, even ten thousand years ago, there was no evidence that Tang San had any contact with Shrek Academy.

"What does the Holy Son mean by this?"

The Ghost Emperor frowned and asked softly.

The divine realm is fertile; without deities, where would the lineage come from? It can't be wild deities, can it?

Even if it were true, it would be impossible for it to have remained completely undetected for so many years.

"Do you two remember... the legend of the sea god?" Jiang Yi, seeing that the time was right, stopped keeping him in suspense.

"Poseidon?"

The Ghost Emperor and Harosa were both taken aback, lost in thought. After a moment, a sharp glint appeared in their eyes, and they spoke in unison.

"Those two...fallen gods?!"

The legendary story of Tang San, the Sea God, who fought against two other gods, is still told in Douluo Continent to this day.

For those who seek miracles, this is naturally not unfamiliar.

“That’s right! The Dark Phoenix discovered the aura of the Angel God within Yali’s body, exactly as recorded in the Spirit Pagoda.”

Jiang Yi nodded slowly, confirming their guess.

“Angel God… I see.”

A look of realization flashed in Harosa's eyes, and his doubts vanished instantly.

The Angel God was once a deity worshipped by the Spirit Hall, symbolizing light and holiness, which was the aura he sensed from Ya Li at that time.

"Hahaha! Heaven is truly helping us!"

The Ghost Emperor burst into laughter, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Yi.

"Holy Son, you and Dark Phoenix must bring Yali back as soon as possible. I will personally go to meet her!"

Forget about attacking Shrek; with the hope of becoming a god before us, revenge can wait.

"By the way, Emperor of the Underworld, your injuries are quite severe; you should rest and recuperate. I will bring Ya Li with me when the time comes, so that we can discuss this together..."

The Ghost Emperor suddenly turned to look at Harosa, feigning concern, but his true intentions were obvious.

"Hmph! Xingluo is under my jurisdiction. You'd better stay in the Federation and keep watch."

Harosa glanced at the Ghost Emperor and said in a leisurely tone.

Although he was severely weakened, it would still be easy for him to find an opportunity to win over Yali.

This divine inheritance is certainly not something that can be enjoyed alone in the current situation, but taking the first bite will definitely bring the greatest benefits.

Faced with the temptation of becoming gods, even the two who stood at the pinnacle of the continent argued like ordinary people.

"Ahem! You two, please hear me out."

Just as the two were facing off, Jiang Yi spoke again.

"I'm afraid we can't touch Yali for the time being... Someone has already made a move on this divine inheritance before us."

"Huh? Who is it?!"

The Ghost Emperor and Harosa turned their heads at the same time, their expressions suddenly turning fierce and menacing.

Obstructing someone's path is like killing their parents; how dare someone steal from their Holy Spirit Church?

"A life-sharing contract has been implanted in Yali, continuously channeling her faith power to the other side..."

"And the other end of the contract is none other than Yun Ming!"

"As far as I know, Yun Ming has actually managed to condense a demigod position on his own over the years, and the source of his power is self-evident."

The life contract, the demigod position... as the secrets were revealed one by one, the faces of the Ghost Emperor and his companion grew increasingly gloomy.

According to Jiang Yi, Ya Li is now almost completely drained.

Even if they capture Yali now, they will probably only get a faith collector; the true divine inheritance has already fallen into Yunming's hands.

"What a Yun Ming! What a number one person on the continent!"

The Ghost Emperor sneered, his words laced with sarcasm.

Then, he looked at Jiang Yi again, his eyes filled with a hint of probing.

"Then, in the Holy Son's opinion, what should be done?"

Jiang Yi had spent a long time with Yun Ming and his wife, and knew a great deal about such secrets, so he must have a way to deal with it.

Seeing the gazes cast upon him by the Ghost Emperor and the other man, Jiang Yi merely raised the corners of his lips slightly and uttered a few words.

My opinion is—

"kill!"
