Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 73 Gu Yuena's Intimidation

"Grandfather, it was my fault. I failed to manage the Duke's mansion well!"

The Duchess burst into tears and immediately admitted her mistake, not daring to contradict her ancestor. She didn't believe that the gods would have much affection for their descendants ten thousand years later.

"Grandmother, I am willing to take the blame for Mother!"

Dai Yueheng spoke up, wanting to take the blame for her mother, and Dai Huabin, with a similarly resolute gaze, was also willing to take the blame.

Dai Mubai sighed softly. He was not blind to the Duchess's actions. She didn't regret it; she was just afraid.

But that's only human nature, and he can understand it. What he couldn't hold back was that his two sons didn't come out when he scolded Dai Hao not long ago. Dai Mubai didn't want to say anything to Dai Hao anymore.

"Leave your fate to the future."

Dai Mubai suddenly felt a bit bored, as he and Zhu Qing had not left any descendants.

The descendants in front of him were basically the lineage of his elder brother, separated by countless generations, with the only connection being the White Tiger Martial Soul.

Dai Mubai felt a sense of unfamiliarity; things had changed, and he left with Zhu Zhuqing.

"You bitch!"

After Dai Mubai left, Dai Hao slapped the Duchess across the face. The crisp sound rang out in the air. Everyone stared blankly at the furious Dai Hao, their faces contorted in a rage, a sight they had never seen before.

"You almost ruined everything!"

Dai Hao couldn't help himself. He didn't have much affection to begin with, and this woman almost dragged him into the abyss.

"Dai Hao, do you know?"

Do you know why our ancestors sought you out?

The Duchess covered her face with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.

The Dai and Zhu families behind them watched with amusement, becoming onlookers and plotting what benefits their own branch could gain from the incident.

Dai Hao had a vague sense of unease, but he couldn't stop it, otherwise it would seem like he was trying to cover something up to outsiders.

"It's all your fault that this bastard child caught the ancestors' eye. It's all your fault that you couldn't control your lust. Do you expect me to raise him as my own son? Why should I?!"

The Duchess's voice gradually became hysterical.

"A level-five soul tool is your token of love? Dai Hao, your affection is really cheap. That lowly servant is dead, do you really think that bastard will still acknowledge you as his father?"

"After all, you've never thought about that person's mother, and you didn't even know you had a son, or how many other fatherless sons you have outside!"

The Duchess gave a cold laugh; even if she were to die in the next second, Dai Hao would not have an easy time.

He only comes back once every few years, and the feelings he had at the beginning have long since been worn away by the passage of time.

Dai Hao was stunned. He had a son, but he had no idea which woman in the Duke's mansion had fathered him.

……

"That bastard Tang San, I should have stomped on him a few more times back then!"

Xiong Jun's cursing voice rang out. He now understood what Master Lu meant by increasing the difficulty. It turned out that the God Realm had directly sent a god to Douluo Continent. If this were before, there would be no point in fighting.

"Didn't we already know that Tang San was a scoundrel who didn't follow the rules?"

"This is just a reinforcement of the impression."

The three-eyed golden lion lay there lazily and said that it had been very sleepy lately because deduction was quite mentally taxing.

"Their strength is roughly equivalent to five level-two gods? And your current strength..."

Anger flashed in Gu Yuena's cold purple eyes. She really didn't know how to scold Tang San anymore. Was this how the God of Law Enforcement enforced the law? He probably wasn't enforcing Tang San's law at all.

"Speaking of which, Tang San has already killed them all. If it weren't for the sneak attack, I would never have let him escape. So what if they are a few gods?"

Xiong Jun patted his strong chest. After being tempered, he could speak without blushing, even if he concealed the truth. In the end, he had gone astray.

"This is war, and we must not underestimate the enemy. Moreover, the strength of Tang San before was not the same as that of a true god."

Gu Yuena glanced coldly at Xiong Jun, telling him not to corrupt the demons.

"Tang San was at most an incarnation of divine power before. Although he had divine power as his energy source, his moves were extremely powerful, but his strength was worlds apart from that of a true god."

The demons pricked up their ears curiously; they had never actually fought a real god before and didn't know what the difference was.

A faint blush appeared on Gu Yuena's face; to be honest, she had never fought a god before.

When he first came out, he frantically fled to the lower realm. He barely managed to withstand a few attacks before hiding in Douluo Continent. The current explanation is based on his inherited memories and the teachings of Master Lu.

"The most important thing about a god is authority, and authority is related to divine position. It can be said that a god with a divine position can easily defeat ten or so gods of the same energy level who do not have a divine position."

The demons looked surprised; this was knowledge they had never encountered before.

"A divine position is equivalent to a divine artifact, an incomparably powerful amplifier of divine power."

"Tang San, for example, originally only had the Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer martial souls, which had almost nothing to do with water."

"After inheriting the position of the sea god, one can wield power through the position and easily control the seawater, even if one has never been in contact with it before."

"After Master Lu's explanation, I understood that the so-called divine position is a special core formed by the condensation of the laws. Inheriting the divine position means combining the core with the soul, and the divine power can be used to exert this part of the laws through the core."

"However, since the divine position is formed by the first god's understanding of the laws and a part of his soul condensed with the power of faith, only the first god can cultivate and improve upon it. It is difficult for those who inherit the divine position to add their own understanding and integrate it on this basis, since their souls are incompatible."

"This is why so many gods, after experiencing a bottleneck, have abdicated their divine positions and wandered the universe in search of new opportunities."

"Unless a large amount of faith power is used to forcibly modify the divine position, the divine position is basically a fixed level."

Gu Yuena looked up at the sky. Gods are limited by their divine positions, and so are divine beasts. In her memory, so many divine beasts were bound by their bloodlines and never entered the next realm until their death.

"In short, a divine position is a cheat device for the laws; inputting divine power allows you to output divine power imbued with the authority of the laws."

"As for the power of the laws, you should all be aware of that."

Gu Yuena glanced at the group of demons. Due to the power of their bloodline, they all controlled the laws and authority inherent in their bloodline to varying degrees, only differing in the strength of their authority.

Remembering how much stronger they had become after they comprehended the power of the laws, the demons all became solemn and dared not underestimate the gods anymore.

"You should think carefully about whether your control over the laws can surpass that of those gods, even if the laws weren't personally comprehended by them."

Gu Yuena's expression was serious. The upcoming battle would definitely be a life-or-death struggle, and even Di Tian might die. All she could do was remind them.

After all, even if she killed all the gods, she would then face the wrath of the divine realm, at which point she couldn't even guarantee her own safety.

"Understood, my lord."

The atmosphere among the demons was extremely heavy, like the calm before a storm.

The demon spirit took out a stack of paper from its spatial storage and used its spiritual power to continuously inscribe runes on it. It actually inscribed a thousand runes at the same time, intending to collect a hundred million Golden Body Runes first.

Seeing the demon spirit's actions, the demons scattered and devoted all their energy to preparing for the upcoming battle.

Meanwhile, outside Shrek City, amidst a bustling crowd, a divine celebration was being held, with even the army joining in the festivities. It was as if the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were utterly insignificant and could be easily wiped out under the guidance of the gods.
