Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 288 The Whole Story

Twenty days later, from within the churning crater, came the melodious, yet not particularly beautiful, sound of a flute.

The monotonous and repetitive days were boring. In the past twenty days, Han Feng could only play the flute to pass the time, besides figuring out his soul skills on his own. The artistic conception that Tang Yuehua could never teach him before, Han Feng has now managed to play with a bit of flavor!

But Han Feng has no time to care about the artistic conception of the Way now.

No matter which deity conducts the divine test, it will never be easy. This is not only to test the successor, but also to train and improve the successor's qualities in all aspects. Therefore, no matter how much the God of Defense thinks highly of Han Feng, he will not go easy on Han Feng in this place. When the volcano trial just started, Han Feng was fine, and even a little relaxed.

But after a while, Han Feng also felt dizzy, not knowing whether it was due to the poisonous gas or from being immersed in lava for a long time.

Regardless, Han Feng understood that as time went on, this dizziness would definitely get worse and worse, and that would probably be the true beginning of the volcanic trial to test his willpower!

In addition, the loss of moisture in his body made Han Feng feel increasingly heavy. In short, the volcano trial was by no means simple, and was even more difficult than the ice field trial!

"You brat! Get ready, I'm about to transport you to the realm of gods!"

Just then, the calm voice of the God of Defense rang in Han Feng's mind.

Han Feng was taken aback, then raised his right hand to look at it. He saw that the fire lotus mark on the back of his hand was now radiant and dazzling, as if plated with a layer of gold, with faint divine fluctuations flowing from it. Han Feng leaned against a piece of obsidian, chuckled, and said, "Finally finished absorbing it!?"

hum-

A barely audible humming sound rang out, and Han Feng felt a jolt around him. The surrounding magma stopped rolling, and everything in Han Feng's sight gradually turned grayish-white, as if time and space had been frozen. Then, that feeling of his soul leaving his body returned.

Everything in Han Feng's eyes rushed past rapidly, all the scenery turning into a line that swept past him!

In the blink of an eye, Han Feng once again arrived at the ancient palace of the God of Defense in the God Realm!

"vomit!"

The moment Han Feng's soul landed, his first reaction was to gag!

Han Feng was already feeling dizzy and listless due to the volcano trial. The God of Defense suddenly gave him such a stimulating experience, and Han Feng felt like his eyeballs were about to go into his brain!

It's fortunate that Han Feng is currently in a soul form, otherwise he would definitely have defiled the Eternal Temple of the God of Defense to vent his anger!

If there is a next time, Han Feng would rather see the Ice God!

At least the Ice God's methods are much gentler; the God of Defense's methods are too rough!

Seeing Han Feng's appearance, the God of Defense clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and said listlessly, "Didn't I already warn you?!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng glared hatefully at the God of Defense. It took him a long time to recover—in the blink of an eye, he had traveled from Douluo Continent to the God Realm. Just how strong a soul would it take to accept everything that happened in such a short time?!

At this moment, Han Feng also saw another deity behind the God of Defense.

With straight, fiery red hair, a tight-fitting outfit, and a hint of arrogance on his face, he looked at Han Feng with a smile. The familiar divine aura emanating from him immediately convinced Han Feng that this person must be the God of Fire, one of the seven elemental gods!

"Junior Han Feng greets Elder Yu and the God of Fire!" Han Feng glanced at them briefly before lowering his head and respectfully addressing them.

"Alright, alright! Stop pretending!" The God of Defense snorted, patting Han Feng's waist with his aged hand. Standing behind Han Feng, he said in a deep voice, "Straighten up! Haven't you always wanted to know the truth? Now that the God of Fire is right in front of you, just ask him!"

With the God of Defense backing him up, Han Feng simply abandoned his respectful expression and looked intently at the God of Fire.

The God of Fire chuckled inwardly. If it were anyone else, daring to look at him like that, he would have already set them on firecrackers. But with the God of Defense protecting Han Feng, he truly dared not.

What's more, he still needs Han Feng's help!

"Please enlighten this junior, God of Fire!" Han Feng said in a deep voice.

To be honest, having gained the inheritance of two first-level gods out of nowhere certainly has its benefits, but these unexpected benefits make Han Feng feel uneasy.

The God of Defense passed on his legacy because he had been the God of Defense for 100,000 years and was tired of it. He wanted to find a successor and leave the God Realm as soon as possible. But what are the God of Fire and the God of Ice doing this for?

And it has to be passed on to just one person!?

Han Feng remembered that the God of Fire, one of the seven elemental gods in the original work, never passed on his position until the time of turmoil in the divine realm!

"Of course!" The God of Fire and Han Feng met eyes and immediately understood that the God of Defense was right. He absolutely couldn't fool Han Feng as an ignorant brat, otherwise it would definitely provoke a backlash. Thinking of this, the God of Fire pondered for a moment before speaking, "To explain the ins and outs of this matter, we must first start with the basic composition of the divine realm..."

Afterwards, the God of Fire explained to Han Feng the five great law enforcement gods of the divine realm, as well as the significance of the first-level gods, second-level gods, and third-level gods. Only then did he tell Han Feng about the various difficulties a first-level god faces in breaking through to the God King level, the suppression of the gods below by the five great God Kings, and the concept of "ice and fire working together, the uncrowned God King."

After saying that, Vulcan seemed to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued, "Besides that, there's actually another reason!"

"You bear the legacy of the Ice God, so you must have already met the Ice God, right?"

"As you probably already know, the Ice Goddess is not actually in the God Realm, but in a place called the Endless Ice Prison. She was punished for her crimes and was condemned to guard the Endless Ice Prison for eternity. Tens of thousands of years have passed since then. The Ice Goddess did not want others to suffer for her sake, so for tens of thousands of years, she never thought of finding a successor and has been guarding the Endless Ice Prison ever since!"

"The reason I let you inherit the Ice Goddess's divine power is so that she can be freed!"

"What!?" Before Han Feng could react to Vulcan's words, the God of Defense suddenly shouted, his aged eyes widening as he demanded, "How come I didn't know about this!?"

The God of Fire only mentioned the harmony between fire and ice, but never said anything about the God of Ice being suppressed in the endless ice prison!

Originally, the God of Defense thought the idea of ​​becoming an uncrowned god-king was not bad, so he did not object. However, if the God of Defense knew that inheriting the godhood of the Ice God would mean being condemned to eternally guarding the Endless Ice Prison, the God of Defense would never agree to it!

Feeling deceived by the god of fire, the god of defense was filled with rage and grabbed the god of fire by the collar, ready to strike!

"Defense! Listen to me!" The God of Fire was startled and quickly explained, "Han Feng possesses the power of three great gods, and the strength of his inherited divine power is comparable to that of a God-King. If he can combine ice and fire, he might even surpass a God-King. As long as he successfully inherits the power of the three great gods, he will possess God-King level combat strength as soon as he enters the God Realm!"

"This is the Uncrowned God-King! Even if the five Great Enforcement Gods joined forces, they couldn't force Han Feng to guard the Endless Ice Prison!"

Why are the five great law enforcement gods able to control the central authority of the divine realm?

Is it because they are the oldest and most farsighted, and their decisions are most beneficial to the development of the divine realm?

How is that possible?!

The reason why the five great law enforcement gods are able to rule the entire divine realm is simply because they are god kings, the five strongest people in the entire divine realm!

Look at the God of Defense, and then look at the God of Fiends!

These two have committed crimes that, when combined, are almost equivalent to the combined crimes of all the other deities. But what can the five great law enforcement gods do?

The God of Defense had long been accustomed to indulgence, running rampant in the God Realm for tens of thousands of years. He had even blocked the gates of the God Realm's central hub, yet he remained alive and kicking. As long as the God of Defense didn't overturn the God Realm, the five Enforcement Gods basically turned a blind eye to his actions.

In his early years, the Heavenly Fiend God had utterly humiliated the two great god-kings, Evil and Asura, causing them to lose face. Yet, tens of thousands of years later, the Heavenly Fiend God broke through to the god-king level and brazenly selected a successor in the Douluo Continent, his fiendish aura permeating the entire god realm. The god realm's central authority, however, remained completely silent!

If Han Feng can truly ascend to the God Realm as a God King, the ones who will have a headache are the Five Law Enforcement Gods, not Han Feng!

Although the God of Defense was not particular about details, he realized what the God of Fire meant after hearing this.

Ultimately, if Han Feng were to accept the inheritance of the three great gods, rescuing the Ice God would be a piece of cake for him!

"Then why are you only telling me now?!" the God of Defense asked, his beard bristling and eyes wide.

Vulcan rolled his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed himself.

Public and private matters should be distinguished. Opening a path to the God-King for all the gods is a public matter, a matter of righteousness, and the God of Fire can say it with confidence anywhere. But rescuing the God of Ice is a private matter, and the God of Water was right in front of him at the time. How could the God of Fire possibly say it out loud?
