Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 257 Deceiving Bibi Dong into being a guinea pig

For Bibi Dong, it didn't matter who the Spirit Hall belonged to, as long as it didn't belong to the Angel lineage.

However, it was still a bit hard to hand over all the hard work of so many years directly to Tang San, and Tang San was more inclined to study the theory of spirit cultivation than to manage the huge Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Bibi Dong finally decided that she should manage the Spirit Hall herself, with Hu Liena assisting her, but Tang San needed to provide some general guidance.

"No problem." Tang San agreed, which suited him perfectly. He didn't need to do everything himself; he only needed to focus on what he was good at.

"I can postpone the Divine Examination to twenty years from now at most," Bibi Dong said, "Once twenty years have passed, regardless of whether the Spirit Hall's foundation is ready or not, I will launch the unification."

"Gods, you cannot interfere too much in human affairs... In short, I am not strong enough. As you said, I alone cannot contend with the entire divine realm."

If it weren't for the existence of the divine realm, why couldn't I, alone, govern the world?

Furthermore, as Bibi Dong's understanding of the Rakshasa godhood deepened, she also learned that the previous Angel God and Rakshasa God had both perished.

Before ascending to the God Realm, the Rakshasa God left a wisp of divine thought at the place of inheritance of the Asura God, which offended the God King's majesty. After ascending to the God Realm, he was directly punished by the Asura God, leaving only the Rakshasa God position and a wisp of divine thought remaining.

After all, Rakshasa is also a god of slaughter and is under the jurisdiction of Asura. The other god-kings in the divine realm couldn't say anything. Moreover, the strength of the five god-kings was roughly equal, so internal strife was not allowed. Thus, the matter was left unresolved.

As for the former angel god...

This is the main reason why the Asura God descended to the mortal realm.

A thousand years ago, the first Angel God and the Sea God became gods at the same time. The Sea God gathered the faith of the sea to nourish the divine artifact formed by his own martial spirit, and the Angel God did the same.

However, the sea is sparsely populated, and the sea god mostly resides overseas. Those who offer faith to him are mostly sea spirit beasts, which have little impact on the development of continental civilization and are not subject to the judgment of the divine realm.

However, the Angel God is different; its source of faith is the entire continent of humanity, which greatly influences the self-development process of human civilization.

Therefore, the Asura God descended to earth, stopped the Angel God's actions, and ordered her to ascend to the divine realm.

However, the Angel God insisted on fighting against the Asura God and was instantly killed. His divine soul and body were completely destroyed, leaving behind only the divine artifact, the divine armor that had degenerated into soul bones, and the Angel God's position.

This part of history was erased by the Spirit Hall.

However, that fear of angels has been passed down, so much so that for thousands of years, the Spirit Hall has only focused on helping people awaken their spirits and assisting various forces in managing the order of cities: patrolling, guarding, capturing fallen ones, etc.; but it does not spread the faith and glory of angels on a large scale, because it is afraid that if it gathers faith for the Angel God on a large scale, it will lead to the re-descent of the Asura God.

Considering what Tang San once told her—that he refused the inheritances of the two God-Kings of Destruction and Life in the God Realm—perhaps becoming a god is like a lamb entering a tiger's den, with one's fate beyond their control.

"Regarding becoming a god, I have another suggestion," Tang San said. "With His Holiness the Pope's talent in having two martial souls, perhaps it is possible for two gods to coexist."

"Two gods coexisting in one body?" Bibi Dong was surprised, then shook her head and said, "My body is not as strong as yours and cannot withstand two god positions. Moreover, I cannot find any other place of divine inheritance at present."

"Your Holiness, you have two martial souls, the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor. The Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor can bear the position of the Rakshasa God, while the Death Spider Emperor can bear the position of the Death God," Tang San analyzed. "As for whether you can withstand the dual positions of gods, I do have a cultivation method that can continuously purify the three treasures of the human body. In addition, I also know that there is a Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the ocean with a cultivation of nearly a million years. If you kill it and obtain its whale glue and whale pearl, and consume them in the right way, Your Holiness's physical body will definitely be incredibly strong."

"As for the position of the God of Death, this position does not exist in the realm of gods. Perhaps one can comprehend the true meaning of death on one's own and then create one's own position."

Bibi Dong stared at Tang San for a while, then said quietly, "You're really bold enough to let me do experiments for you... By the way, what are the three treasures of the human body?"

"Qi and blood, soul power, spiritual power..."

Tang San explained the theory of the three dantian and the transformation of essence, qi and spirit. "...In fact, I have tried it myself. In the instant of constructing the theory of the three paths, I saw through every inch of the human body. The feeling was like looking up at the starry sky, with an incomparably peaceful heart."

"I once heard someone describe something like this—"

"Nothing that makes up the material basis of our world could have been created out of thin air. The iron in our bodies comes from the explosion of brilliant stars; the zinc in our blood comes from the dust ejected into the universe after the collision of stars; the trace amount of copper has to witness the death of a star; and even the insignificant cobalt comes from nebulae billions of light-years away."

"We humans ourselves are a microcosm."

"The nitrogen in our blood, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, and the carbon in all the food we eat are all scattered from the myriad stars in the universe. Every inch of our flesh and blood, every cell, writes the history of the entire universe."

"When we gaze at ourselves, we also see the outline of the entire universe!"

Despite the many new terms in her words, Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time, as if she had come to understand the truth of the world.

The human body is the universe!

Cultivation is a process of recognizing, controlling, and dominating one's own universe, and then using one's own microcosm to reflect the external macrocosm!

"Qi and blood correspond to tangible life; spiritual power is an illusory thing; and soul power is the bridge connecting the two... matter is the foundation, energy is the source, and the mind is the guide."

Bibi Dong's breathing quickened as she listened; she had never imagined that true cultivation could be so exaggerated!

According to Tang San's theoretical research, once the energy transformation circuit between essence, qi, and spirit is fully constructed, and one has a 100% understanding of oneself and can communicate with the external universe, one will not only live as long as heaven (the universe) and be immortal, but also achieve a certain degree of omniscience and omnipotence.

Feel--

It felt like a dream.

"You're not just making empty promises to me so I can test your cultivation theories, are you?" Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, but deep down she couldn't help but hope that the theories were true.

"Cultivation always needs pioneers. If my soul power hadn't been insufficient, I would have experimented on my own first. And as the strongest soul master on the continent, isn't it only right that His Holiness the Pope should take the lead?" Tang San was seriously engaging in moral blackmail against Bibi Dong.

"Heh!" Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't agree so easily, letting out a cold laugh. "We can talk about that later. What level are you now?"

"Reporting to Your Holiness, I'm at level 57. I haven't wasted any time during this period," Tang San replied. "Because I'm in my physical development period, my soul power cultivation speed is also fast, so I should be able to break through to Soul Emperor around June next year."

"Your cultivation speed can't be explained by just your body being in the developmental stage." Bibi Dong said meaningfully, but instead of asking Tang San to reveal his cultivation method, she asked about his choice of the sixth spirit ring.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Holiness. I have already made a choice for my sixth spirit ring. It is a cloud tree, located in the White Cloud Forest in the White Cloud Plain outside White Cloud City," Tang San said slowly. "Its age has reached more than 90,000 years, extremely close to 100,000 years. Because of the special nature of my spirit, I can communicate with it and have it sacrifice itself to me."

Bibi Dong's breath hitched, then she remembered Tang San's fifth spirit ring: "Did you get your 100,000-year spirit ring this way too?"

"Exactly. Moreover, in this way, the souls of 100,000-year-old soul beasts can be transformed into soul spirits, progressing alongside me. They can also come out to assist me in battle." Tang San released Wu Lin and Wu Tong, introducing them to Bibi Dong. "The one with blue hair is called Wu Lin, and the one with red hair is called Wu Tong. They are like my daughters."

"A life form similar to a martial soul, created based on life force?" Bibi Dong examined the two, revealing their true nature. "Truly a peculiar existence. Will your sixth spirit ring also exist in this form?"

"Of course." Tang San replied without hesitation, "Hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts possess human intelligence and are no different from humans, but I don't want to wrong myself, so I can only let them choose whether to follow me in this way."

"That's a novel idea." Bibi Dong was taken aback, but when she thought of Tang San's overflowing life force from his Blue Silver Emperor, any plant soul beast of the 100,000-year level would want to follow Tang San, right?

This saves the trouble of hunting.

"Oh, right, there's something I should mention. I also brought a six-year-old girl with me this time. Her martial soul is a combination of a weapon martial soul and a beast martial soul—the Silver Dragon Spear and the Silver Dragon Spear." Tang San talked about Gu Yuena's situation. "She has innate full level 20 soul power. According to her, she has been chosen by a certain god. Once she reaches the corresponding level, she can obtain a divinely bestowed soul ring. Currently, both of her soul rings are light gold, and their age is at least a million years."

Bibi Dong was stunned.

Millions of years?

Are all the spirit rings a gift from the gods?

Why didn't she receive so many blessings from the Rakshasa godhood she inherited?

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"No." Tang San shook his head. "According to my examination, she is not some kind of ten-million-year-old soul beast. She is indeed human, but whether she lost her memory after coming down from the God Realm is hard to say."

"Is that so?" Bibi Dong, who had received the incorrect information, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since she came to Wuhun City with you, she must be a member of the Wuhun Hall."

For Bibi Dong, another genius in the Spirit Hall means another Title Douluo, and Gu Yuena might even help her fight against other gods in the God Realm in the future...

In the original story, the Sea God was very generous to the main characters, bestowing upon them divine spirit rings and increasing their lifespan.

This is very likely related to the amount of faith one possesses.

Qian Renxue was alright; after becoming a god, her soul rings changed to six black, three red, and one gold.

Bibi Dong fared much worse; her spirit ring's age didn't increase at all, except for gaining a golden god-level spirit ring after becoming a god.

The angels may still retain some faith.

It is estimated that the Rakshasa god has no power of faith whatsoever.

Therefore, this book sets the story as follows: the first generation of angels and Rakshasa have all fallen, leaving only their divine positions. It also explains why the Asura God came to Douluo Continent and left behind a place of inheritance. It was done on the way to enforce the law.

After all, in the original story, when Bibi Dong saw Tang San become the God of Asura, she lost her will to fight at first, which clearly showed that she knew the power of the God of Asura. However, when Qian Renxue saw the God of Asura, she did not recognize him at all and thought that her side had more people and therefore had the advantage.

If the original author changes the settings or adds other settings, the settings in this fan fiction shall prevail.
