Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 656 The Storm Has Subsided

The God of Defense, who was standing to the side, saw everything but never made a sound in interruption.

The Asura God's schemes weren't particularly profound. Although the God of Defense wasn't skilled in strategy, his 100,000 years of experience were still there. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. The God of Defense had seen too much. Whether the Asura God harbored ill will towards Han Feng, whether it was a test or a suppression, whether it was pretense or sincerity, the God of Defense could see through it at a glance!

Even so, the God of Defense did not give Han Feng any hints, leaving the decision entirely to Han Feng himself.

Firstly, the God of Defense intended to train Han Feng, so he naturally wouldn't disturb Han Feng's thoughts. Secondly, Han Feng's answer was exactly what the God of Defense wanted to see.

For 100,000 years, the God of Gods has been alone. No one understands the torment of loneliness better than the God of Defense. If time could be reversed, the God of Defense would rather have never become a god!

The wear and tear that time inflicts on the gods is silent and irresistible. All beings yearn for immortality, but who truly understands the suffering that comes with it?

Admittedly, if Han Feng were to bring his relatives and friends into the God Realm, it would inevitably become a handle for the God Realm's central authority to control Han Feng. But how sinister and desperate must one be to hesitate between these two options?

In order to avoid leaving any evidence and to be able to come and go as one pleases, one becomes heartless and indifferent, disregarding relatives and friends and watching them grow old, get sick and die.

Human nature is ultimately social and has its limits. No living being with humanity can truly ignore everything, and gods are nothing more than powerful humans!

To transcend the limits of humanity, one would have to cease being human!

For this reason, the God of Defense not only did not stop Han Feng, but even agreed with Han Feng's idea.

The Asura God's vision was no less than that of the God of Defense. What the God of Defense could see, the Asura God could also see clearly. He gave Han Feng a deep look, which was very meaningful. Han Feng was the new master of the God of Defense. As a member of the defense lineage, it was probably impossible to make Han Feng submit to the central authority of the God Realm. However, Han Feng's suggestion gave the Asura God a possibility of checking and balancing Han Feng, and even the Heavenly Fiend God Dai Mubai!

Using Han Feng and Dai Mubai's relatives and friends as mediators between the God Realm's central authority and them, and ensuring that their relatives and friends can live well, surely Han Feng and Dai Mubai won't act recklessly!

While it's impossible to truly make Han Feng and Dai Mubai completely obedient to the central authority of the God Realm, this is enough. The God of Asura only hoped that Han Feng wouldn't be too arrogant!

Of course, if Han Feng and Dai Mubai can coexist peacefully with the central authority of the God Realm, the existence of Ning Fengzhi and others will certainly ensure that Han Feng and Dai Mubai will not act as domineeringly as their predecessors. However, if the God Realm does anything to threaten Ning Fengzhi and others, Han Feng and Dai Mubai will probably be even more insane than their predecessors!

The harmonizer is indeed a harmonizer, but on the other hand, it is also a sore spot!

Although the previous God of Defense and God of Heavenly Fiend were unscrupulous and did not even take the central authority of the God Realm seriously, apart from the God of Rakshasa, they had never actually forced any god in the God Realm to death. However, Han Feng and Dai Mubai are different. People who value emotions are sometimes easy to guess. Once Ning Fengzhi and the others are humiliated, it will probably be another storm that sweeps across the God Realm!

The God of Asura knew very well that Han Feng probably hadn't thought that much about it yet, and was merely expressing his feelings and making a request based on his deepest thoughts. Han Feng certainly didn't intend to do anything to the God Realm, but as the God of Law Enforcement of the God Realm, the God of Asura had to be cautious.

There was no way around it; the lessons that Han Feng and Dai Mubai, the two predecessors, had taught the central authority of the God Realm were far too profound!

But overall, Han Feng's request was exactly what the Asura God wanted!

After a few breaths, the God of Asura withdrew from his calculations, smiled gently, nodded to Han Feng, and said, "I will accept this matter on behalf of the central authority of the God Realm!"

As one of the gods of law enforcement, the God of Asura absolutely has this authority!

Moreover, if Han Feng were to speak at the central level of the God Realm, no one would object!

Rather than dragging things out and leaving a bad impression on Han Feng, it's better to be decisive—if you don't even have this much courage, what right does the God of Asura have to rule over the battles of all realms?

Han Feng was delighted to hear this, but the next moment, Shura Shenjian's tone shifted, and he said, "However, as you probably know, there are rules in the God Realm that only a God-King of the First Level or higher has the right to bring a mortal to ascend and enjoy immortality. The God Realm has always controlled the number of mortals, so even if I grant you this power, I cannot allow you to bring people to ascend without restraint!"

"I'll only double your offer at most. As far as I know, you can bring six people with you when you ascend to immortality, but I'll let you bring six more!"

The Asura God wasn't just making things up; the divine realm has indeed been controlling the number of mortals, and even the number of gods!

Otherwise, why would there be a system of divine succession?

In essence, cultivation is a process of plundering the power of heaven and earth and gathering it into one's own body. Although the divine realm is vast, its origin is also limited, and the number of gods it can support is limited. If the divine realm is allowed to only take in and not give out, there will only be two possible outcomes.

First, the number of gods in the divine realm exceeded its limit, and the divine realm could not bear the burden, eventually collapsing and shrinking back to chaos; second, there were too many monks and not enough porridge, and too many wolves and not enough meat, so in order to compete for resources, the divine realm fell into internal strife and chaos, with gods fighting each other, resembling a mortal world, and no longer having the peaceful scene it has today!

Admittedly, it wouldn't be a big deal for Han Feng to take a few more people to ascend. A few mortal bodies that can't even be molded into divine bodies wouldn't be a burden on the God Realm at all.

However, this should not be a precedent. Han Feng had made meritorious contributions in fighting against the Rakshasa God, which is why the Asura God had given him preferential treatment. If Han Feng were to lead too many people to ascend, the other gods might have other ideas.

As a god of law enforcement, the Asura God naturally has more things to consider.

Han Feng understood the reasoning behind it. Although there were six extra spots, he couldn't bring all his relatives and friends to ascend, but it was still enough for Han Feng. There were only a few people that Han Feng truly valued, and to be honest, he might not even be able to gather that many people!

"This junior thanks the Asura God King!" With that thought, Han Feng stopped haggling and nodded seriously.

Seeing this, the Asura God narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. Having resolved everything, he lingered no longer, glancing in the direction of the God of Defense with an indifferent look, as if asking, "Are you satisfied now?"

The God of Defense completely ignored the Asura God's gaze, walked up to Han Feng, patted him meaningfully on the shoulder, and then said earnestly, "I've taught you everything I needed to. Don't tarnish the name of the defense lineage!"

Having said that, the God of Defense was even faster than the God of Asura, rushing out of the boundary and heading towards the passage.

The Asura God snorted coldly, his body transformed into a streak of blood-red light, and he vanished in a rainbow.

There's not much to say between the current Asura God and Tang San. Although Tang San is his chosen successor, he hasn't inherited the godhood yet. Once Tang San truly inherits the Asura Godhood, there will be plenty of time for him to give detailed instructions!

After the God of Defense left, Han Feng felt somewhat melancholy. Based on the God of Defense's previous behavior, Han Feng understood that the God of Defense was telling him that he would have to walk the road ahead on his own. The God of Defense could only protect him for the last hundred years. After that, Han Feng would have to face all the problems on his own!

Whether it's the difficulties caused by the God Kings, the spying of the gods, or even the various secrets beyond the God Realm, Han Feng needs to explore them all on his own!

Fortunately, Han Feng was not one to dwell on the past or feel melancholy. After a brief sigh, he regained his composure and focused his attention on Bibi Dong's divine body in his hand.

At this moment, Han Feng only held Bibi Dong's body, her eyes empty and lifeless, as if she had divine power but could not use it. What surprised Han Feng the most was that the feeling of being one with heaven and earth when he was in front of this divine body had completely disappeared, as if the Douluo Realm Core was no longer in Bibi Dong's divine body!

Surprised and suspicious, Han Feng probed into it with his divine sense and was shocked to find that the God of Defense had actually severed the connection between the Douluo Realm Core and Bibi Dong's divine body!

The method was crude; it simply used supreme qi and blood to sever the qi of Bibi Dong's divine body.

In short, the God of Defense directly knocked the Douluo Realm Core back into its ownerless state!

Han Feng couldn't help but marvel at the formidable power of the God of Defense's blood and energy, but he had no intention of embezzling it.

Han Feng had heard it before: people from outside the realm cannot gain the recognition of the Douluo Realm Core. Although Han Feng had lived in the Douluo Plane for more than 30 years, he had never forgotten that his soul did not belong to the Douluo Plane in essence!

Tang San too!

Although Rakshasa God solved this flaw by forcibly confusing the Qi perception of the Douluo Realm Core with his extraterrestrial soul, Rakshasa God was completely dead. How could Han Feng know what method Rakshasa God used?

Moreover, Han Feng doesn't want to spend his entire life in the Douluo Continent!

Thinking of this, Han Feng lost interest in the Douluo Realm Core.

After thinking it over, I decided to leave the boundary core to Tang Hao!

It wasn't that Han Feng was selfless, but rather that Tang Hao was indeed the most suitable person Han Feng could think of!

If possible, Han Feng would certainly be willing to hand over the Douluo Realm Core to Han Dang, Zhang Lingling, or even Ning Fengzhi. But the problem is, even Han Dang, who is currently the strongest, is only a Soul Douluo. Is he really going to risk his life to fight against a Realm Core?

Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, Flander, and others face the same problem. Although their cultivation is stronger than Han Dang's, none of them are qualified to become gods, so they are unlikely to gain the recognition of the boundary core.

As for Gu Rong and Chen Xin, Han Feng had other plans.

In the end, only Tang Hao was left!

In any case, based on Han Feng's understanding of Tang Hao, Tang Hao would definitely not ascend to the God Realm with them a hundred years later. He would definitely wait until the Blue Silver Emperor re-emerged. At this time, the Blue Silver Emperor was being nurtured and reborn in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Even with the help of many gods, it was impossible to force the growth. At most, it could only catalyze it a little.

The original five-hundred-year cycle can now be completed in just two hundred years, but by then, Han Feng and the others will have already ascended to immortality!
