Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 252 The Great Era of Assisting in Tribulation and Becoming a God Has Arrived

After being forged and then having arrays inscribed on it, the weapon's attributes underwent a complete transformation.

Jerry has seen some magical artifacts a few times, but none of them were weapons. He never got to use them before they disappeared. The only magical artifact he has is the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which is only good for being a minor character; its other functions are really quite ordinary.

It seems the idea of ​​forging it earlier was feasible. Jerry gave the weapon directly to Lou Gao, and it's not bad as a weapon for controlling objects.

After receiving the weapon, Lou Gao was even more grateful to Jerry.

Next, we need to forge defensive equipment. Traditional defensive equipment is armor, but to add another layer of protection, we also need to add a shield.

With Lou Gao's help, Jerry made twenty sets of armor and shields in one go.

In addition to the weapons and equipment for the tribulation, Jerry also had Lou Gao forge a batch of weapons, since these weapons were much more powerful than other soul tools.

Once everyone else is using soul-guided weapons, I'll take out these weapons and instantly kill them.

The equipment for transcending tribulation is a full set of armor with multiple slots, allowing for the inscription of more formations.

The armor is primarily for defense, and Jerry doesn't plan to add any other miscellaneous functions; it's just a simple defensive formation, and the goal is to maximize the armor's defensive value.

The solid array is very important; every component must be inscribed with it.

The Counterattack Formation is a rather interesting formation that can reflect up to 40% of attacks.

Jerry put a lot of thought into developing this formation, but unfortunately it could only reflect 40% of the damage.

40% is only elemental damage; physical attacks cannot be reflected.

After several attempts, I realized that the forces in this world are reciprocal, so I still don't understand what physical counter-damage is all about.

Moreover, this formation has a very high potential and needs further improvement; it requires focused research in the future.

The Light Shield Array, when activated, forms a light shield around the body to defend against various types of damage.

Instead of using lightning to defend against it, a lightning-gathering array should absorb the lightning and then provide it to other arrays for use, thus recycling it and avoiding waste.

In addition to the healing and recovery arrays, Jerry added them to the armor after careful consideration.

As for the shield, aside from the lack of healing and recovery arrays, Jerry added several layers of lightning-gathering arrays to the shield.

The weapon for the tribulation is fine for now. The clone in the small world sent a message to Jerry that it has cultivated many 100,000-year-old herbs and can try to refine the tribulation pill.

Among the many medicinal materials, Jerry finally figured out a prescription that was theoretically sound.

The main ingredients of the elixir are Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Fenglei Chiling Grass, Jiupin Fushang Flower, and Shiwannian Fenghun Grass.

These four herbs are the most powerful among their kind, offering enhanced defense, increased resistance to lightning, healing of injuries, and replenishment of soul power.

At first, Jerry thought that making four kinds of pills would be faster, but the effects of the pills would take time to take effect. Although it was also fast, the time required to make four pills was not as fast as the time required for the tribulation.

It's obviously not possible to maximize all four functions at the same time.

Finally, focusing on enhancing defense and lightning resistance, while also healing injuries and replenishing soul power, the Tribulation Crossing Pill version 1.0 was successfully refined.

Jerry ate one directly, took a look, and found it to be pretty good, with all the benefits. Now, he'll see how it performs during his actual tribulation.

Weapons and elixirs were prepared, the tribulation site was repaired, and the formations on it were arranged as before.

However, this time a special tribulation site was designed, with the entire ground made of star iron. There's plenty of material; that's how extravagant we are.

At the bottom were over ten thousand lightning-attribute energy storage devices. Jerry went deep underground and built a pipe directly connecting to Wuhun City, so they wouldn't have to move it around anymore.

The message was sent to Bibi Dong and the others, and they all arrived in less than three minutes. That's incredibly fast! I've never seen them this quick when doing other things.

Jerry explained to them how to use the weapons and pills, and then led them to the place of tribulation.

"Who wants to go first?"

Jerry said with amusement, “It’s easy to say, but when it comes to actually facing the tribulation, everyone gets nervous. All fourteen people, including Bibi Dong, are a little hesitant at this moment.”

Jerry wasn't in a hurry. He just watched them quietly. They had come this far. If they couldn't get over this mental hurdle, even if they became gods, they would probably remain like that for the rest of their lives.

Bibi Dong understood Jerry's purpose: firstly, he wanted everyone to overcome their own mental hurdles, and secondly, he wanted to see them make a fool of themselves.

Bibi Dong thought for a moment and stepped forward. Jerry had said before that the Divine Tribulation was nothing special, and since her daughter had already overcome it, she couldn't fall behind.

"I'll go first, Jerry. What do I do?"

As expected, Bibi Dong was definitely the first. Although she failed the divine test, the divine test she had completed had greatly changed her mindset and state of mind. It wasn't necessarily a positive change, but it certainly strengthened her resolve.

"Put on your armor, sit in the designated spot for your tribulation, and I'll transfer my faith power to you!"

As the power of faith was transmitted, Bibi Dong's body began to transform into a divine body. Bibi Dong originally had a lot of faith power, not much less, and before long, her body transformed into a divine body.

At this moment, dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and the divine tribulation began.

After giving Bibi Dong his final instructions, Jerry left.

This divine tribulation was indeed stronger. The formation on the ground was directly pierced, and the shields and armor only managed to block part of it. Some of the energy directly struck Bibi Dong.

However, this energy was very little, and Bibi Dong managed to withstand it on her own.

Bibi Dong endured the next nine divine tribulations on her own without taking any pills.

Having survived the divine tribulation, Bibi Dong broke through to level 100, finally fulfilling her long-cherished wish.

As Bibi Dong consolidated her cultivation, dark attribute rules flickered around her body. Jerry checked and found that these dark attribute rules accounted for about 70%. It has to be said that Bibi Dong's talent is truly remarkable.

After becoming a god, those with good talent will directly grasp the basics of the rules.

After Master Ju Douluo became a god, his wood attribute rule reached 65%. After Qian Renxue became a god, her light attribute rule also reached 60%. The others, except for Xue Ke, all reached 30%. Only Xue Ke's talent was a bit weak, with only 1%.

Given Xueke's talent, she would never have become a god without Jerry.

After Chrysanthemum Douluo became a god, he mastered 65% of the rules, which is higher than Qian Renxue's. He truly deserves to be called a celestial herb martial soul, even surpassing angel martial souls.

However, now that Bibi Dong has broken through, her dark attribute has reached 70%. This twin dark-type soul beast martial soul talent is really powerful. It seems that there is a reason why Rakshasa God chose Bibi Dong.

Because Bibi Dong withstood a portion of the divine tribulation's power, her divine body underwent significant transformation. If she were to receive further faith power, she would soon be able to break through to the second level of her divine body.

The first level of the divine body is merely the external appearance; the second level involves the transformation of bloodline and internal structure; and the third level is complete energy transformation.

Only at the third level can one truly achieve immortality; while the first two levels allow for resurrection, they come with too many limitations.

After Bibi Dong safely passed the divine tribulation, it boosted everyone's confidence. Then, the twelve elders all successfully passed their tribulations. Only Hu Liena was still a little scared, probably because she was young.

Because Jerry changed the development of Wuhun City, Hu Liena has been cultivating at the academy and missed several major trials, so her personality hasn't changed much.

"Hu Liena, are you scared? If you are, just say so, I won't laugh at you!"

Jerry said this to Hu Liena, but he couldn't stop smiling.

Hu Liena, who was initially a little scared, suddenly felt offended. Did Jerry look down on her?

Seeing Jerry's mocking expression, Hu Liena's resolve suddenly hardened. Ignoring Jerry, she stepped directly into the place where she was undergoing her tribulation.

"She's about to undergo her divine tribulation, is it really appropriate for you to provoke her like this?"

Hu Liena was, after all, Bibi Dong's disciple, and Bibi Dong began to stand up for Hu Liena.

"If we don't provoke her a bit, given her personality, she'll probably hesitate for who knows how long. Don't let her usual arrogance fool you, she's actually quite soft-hearted."

Hu Liena's mentality is good, but it's not perfect, which is why Jerry had to provoke her a little.

"Oh, how did you know? What did you do to my disciple while I was in seclusion?"

How would I know? Can I tell you that I knew it from reading novels in my past life?

Hu Liena is just a little girl, a bit love-struck, otherwise she wouldn't have been taken advantage of by Tang San.

But he couldn't say it aloud, so he immediately said:

"I've read Hu Liena's profile. Perhaps due to an unhappy childhood, she lacks a sense of security and has always hoped to meet someone who truly cares for her. Until she meets that person, she can only hide these feelings, which is why she appears rather arrogant. It's just a facade."

"Jerry, you're still watching this?"

Bibi Dong looked at Jerry with suspicion, clearly not believing the reason Jerry gave.

"After you went into seclusion, Master put the responsibility of managing the Spirit Hall on my shoulders. At that time, there was no one else available, so I had to study everyone in the Spirit Hall to see who I could win over."

Feeling a little guilty under Bibi Dong's gaze, Jerry couldn't let his guard down, so he put on a very righteous and awe-inspiring air and said.

Bibi Dong wanted to say something more, but Jerry, not wanting to answer, interrupted her directly:

"Hu Liena's divine tribulation has begun."

Hearing Jerry say this, Bibi Dong turned to look in the direction where Hu Liena was undergoing her tribulation, and did not ask any further questions. Jerry also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Bibi Dong had always had a question in her heart: why wasn't Jerry married at such an old age? Moreover, none of the outstanding women of similar age to Jerry in the Spirit Hall were married either.

In the Douluo Continent, people can normally get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Looking at Jerry, he's almost twenty-seven, and his female classmates are about the same age—none of them are married.

It's one thing that they weren't married, but their own apprentice, Hu Liena, wasn't either, and his brother, Xie Yue, already has a child in elementary school. Yan's child is about the same age.

Except for Hu Liena, most of the former golden generation have gotten married and had children.

Hu Liena had been with him since she was very young, and their relationship was even better than that of his own daughter. Of course, he hoped that she could find a good home.

When did this trend of not getting married spread within the Spirit Hall?

Now that they've become gods, marriage is even more uncertain. Bibi Dong had previously tried to test whether Jerry and Hu Liena had feelings for each other, and if so, she would break the ice.

However, Jerry was unwilling to talk about this topic, and neither was his apprentice. Bibi Dong felt that there must be something going on.

This also piqued Bibi Dong's curiosity, and she'll have to observe this carefully in the future.

Bibi Dong no longer cares about anything. Apart from cultivating, she inevitably gets bored. Usually, Qian Renxue brings her senior and junior sisters to visit her, and they chatter away. Every time, you can hear a lot of gossip, and Bibi Dong is gradually influenced by them.

Bibi Dong herself is unfortunate. She hopes her apprentice and daughter will be happy, but now neither of them is getting married. Before, she could say something about it, but after today, they will both become gods with long lifespans, so what can she say?

Besides her disciple and daughter, there was another thing that gave Bibi Dong a headache: the Spirit Hall had no successor.

Bibi Dong had wanted to abdicate for a long time, but she couldn't find a suitable candidate, so she continued to hold the title of Pope herself.

Jerry has already become a god; he doesn't want to be the Holy Son or the Pope, and Bibi Dong can't control that.

Qian Renxue didn't want to be the Pope either, and she would run away every time the topic came up.

The only option left is Hu Liena, but now that Hu Liena has become a goddess, she probably wouldn't even want the position of Pope anymore.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache. The Spirit Hall is so large, yet there's no successor for the next generation. Nobody would believe it if I told them.

Bibi Dong had even considered handing the Pope over to Qian Daoliu so she could relax a bit. Carrying the title of Pope every day was exhausting. Now that she didn't want it anymore, Qian Daoliu, you can take it back.

Qian Daoliu is spending every day with Poseidon. Although there hasn't been any real progress, Qian Daoliu likes her. He's such a simp, he doesn't have time to care about anything else, so he rejected her outright.

While Bibi Dong was still pondering, Hu Liena had already successfully overcome her divine tribulation. After recovering slightly, she directly said to Jerry, "Jerry, thank you!"

She also understood that Jerry had provoked her earlier in order to help her overcome her fears.

The next step was to arrange for a few people to absorb the divine ring.

I must say, the spirit rings of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm are really good; everyone who uses them says they're great.

Moreover, the little Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is now eating and playing to its heart's content in Wuhun City, living a very carefree life. However, there is one thing: every time it sees Jerry, it asks Jerry to take it to the far north. But Jerry has never had the time, so this matter has been put on hold.

Just now, when Hu Liena was undergoing her tribulation, Jerry sensed a trace of the Nine-Tailed Fox's aura, which was very weak.

What happened? The nine-tailed fox has gotten herself into this state.

After Hu Liena absorbs the divine ring, we'll see what's going on.
