Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 385: Embracing All

Poison Four Seasons was already physically strong, so absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring at the Quasi-Soul Douluo level was not difficult for him.

Absorbing a divinely bestowed soul ring requires only that the body's strength can withstand the energy of the soul ring to achieve maximum absorption, without needing to experience the soul beast's "retaliation," which is a soul shock.

The divinely bestowed soul ring itself does not harbor any resentment from the soul beast, therefore, the absorber does not need to meet the requirements of mental strength.

Even if mental strength requires certain conditions to be met, with Poison Four Seasons' current strength, it's not a problem at all.

His personality was inherently resolute, and he was the only one among the younger generation of the Body Sect to independently complete the second awakening of a bronze-level martial soul.

Later, he even forcibly broke through the realm, completing the Silver-level second awakening with a soul power level that was less than that of a Soul Saint.

Someone like Du Siji, let alone in this era, even looking to the future, even the chosen one of destiny ten thousand years from now, would not be more talented than him.

With such perseverance and persistence, how could his mental strength not be strong?

This 100,000-year soul ring granted him two terrifying 100,000-year soul skills, one of which was the Descent of the God of Fire.

The Descent of the God of Fire is an amplification-type soul skill. If the God of Fire were willing, he could truly send down a wisp of his divine soul.

But the opponent is Zhongli, how could he possibly come?

With the arrival of the God of Fire, this skill becomes a simple amplification-type soul skill.

Increases all of its base attributes by 150%, and increases fire attribute by 200%.

Within the entire Douluo Continent, the Descent of the God of Fire is one of the most powerful amplification-type soul skills.

This is not only a soul skill born from a 100,000-year soul ring, but it also contains a trace of the God of Fire's primordial power.

Even a tiny bit is still incomparable to that of an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast.

In the realm of gods, sensing that trace of "summoning" power, the God of Fire pursed his lips, somewhat helpless.

If he were to lower even a wisp of his divine soul to face Zhongli, Poisonous Seasons would likely be stuck on the third trial for the rest of his life.

Putting aside whether the main body could win, a wisp of divine soul would absolutely not last longer than an incense stick's time.

To be on the safe side, he deliberately issued this task, specifically to allow Zhongli to release the sea and thus pass the "Mythical" level.

The "God King" level assessment is already at the "Myth" level!

The rewards for completing the level are naturally very generous, which is also to avoid giving anyone any leverage against you.

The divine trials that are passed down from the gods must be of a corresponding level of difficulty so that the five great god-kings of the divine realm will not be able to find fault with them.

If one directly inherits a divine position without reaching a certain level of difficulty, it will not be convincing to the people.

The divine realm doesn't accept just any kind of god.

This is why many gods want to run away, but can't.

Because they did not select a chosen one, it was impossible for him to complete the task they assigned.

Under normal circumstances, once a successor to a deity appears, he will inevitably become a new deity; this is common sense.

Because the successors of the gods are all carefully selected by the gods, they are almost 100% able to pass the divine test and thus inherit the divine position.

The only mishap was with Tang Chen!

Tang Chen did complete the divine test, but when he was about to inherit the divine position, he was abandoned by Shura and thus bewitched by the Rakshasa God and parasitized by the Dark Gold Bat.

Therefore, once a successor to a deity appears, they are almost guaranteed to become a new deity. With Tang Chen as an example of "failure," the probability becomes 99%...

Of course, Ma Hongjun in the original timeline received the inheritance of the God of Fire, but because Ma Hongjun's foundation was insufficient, he only obtained the second-level god Phoenix position.

He received the inheritance of the God of Fire, but became a god even though he didn't complete it. This can be considered a half-failure example.

That being said, with Zhongli in the picture, even if we know that Zhongli released one or even several sea monsters, we can't say whether we've passed the test or not!

"Mythical" difficulty, what's wrong with giving some rewards for completing it?

What's wrong with giving more rewards for completing the game?

"Hmph, I really admire myself. That's so worthy of me!"

Vulcan thought to himself with a smug look, but then went off to prepare a reward for Poison Seasons.

With several boosts from Du Siji, his aura was almost at the level of a Super Douluo.

Unfortunately, the gap between a Super Douluo and a Titled Douluo is too great, far beyond what he can currently compare to.

"Is this what a soul skill is?"

Xiao murmured, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"That does have some merit."

The Martial Soul system can transform a "weak" person into such a strong one after using a few Soul Skills; it is truly amazing.

Xiao is currently unaware that the truly magical aspect of the Martial Soul system is not the amplification, but rather some special Soul Skills.

For example, teleportation, spatial cutting, spacetime storms, and a series of other magical law-based soul skills.

How incredible that such powerful laws as space and time could be obtained so easily and effortlessly.

Unfortunately, while it is easy to obtain and use, it is very difficult to innovate upon.

Soul skills generated by soul rings are born from the combination of the soul beast's innate talents and martial soul, creating soul skills suitable for the martial soul.

This is a fixed "line," and unless one is an extraordinary being, it is virtually impossible to shake the "line" in the slightest.

Use soul power to activate the "circuit" in the soul ring and release soul skills.

This fixed line can even autonomously change its shape.

For example, what is clearly just a fireball can take on the form of a dragon under the influence of a soul skill, thus becoming a fire dragon.

If this "route" is fixed with a teleportation "array", it can be activated to teleport.

As amazing as it is, it is also subject to great limitations.

For example, the rule in the "line" is instantaneous teleportation within five meters, so it is impossible to exceed this limit when using it; instantaneous teleportation is only possible within five meters.

At this moment, Du Siji did not use the amplification of the Thousand Rocks Set. He only wanted to use his own strength to see just how far he had come.

With a single step, Poisonous Seasons, like a silver lightning bolt, covered in thunder and fire, lunged towards Zhong Li.

Around the Four Seasons of Poison, the high temperature makes it seem as if space itself has been distorted.

This is actually a normal phenomenon; it's a visible change that occurs when a flame comes into contact with oxygen in the air during combustion.

It's not that the fire can actually distort space.

The sun's temperature is so high that if this high temperature can distort space, wouldn't the sun be able to destroy space?

Zhongli remained unfazed by this attack; he could completely ignore it without needing to use any means.

But doing it this way is somewhat perfunctory.

"Embrace everything!"

Zhongli grasped a ball of amber energy in both hands and crossed them in front of him. Instantly, a shield bound by two "chains" appeared around him.

At that moment, Poison Seasons' attack arrived.

With a loud "bang," ripples appeared on the shield, but it showed no signs of shaking or cracking, as if it had completely ignored the powerful blow.
