From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 557 Poseidon, the Sea God Who Lost His Faith!

However, there was one thing that the God of Destruction was quite concerned about: the fusion of Chen Hong and Ye Lingling's martial souls could actually create a complete ultimate life force. This made the God of Destruction feel somewhat complicated.

Chen Hong and Ye Lingling are too special. Together, they are a smaller version of the complete God of Life. If that were all, the God of Destruction wouldn't say anything. If a god can inherit two godhoods, then a godhood can also be inherited by two people.

In this regard, the Evil God King and the Good God King will provide a ready example: a promising talent from a lower world, named Ji Dong or something like that, who is the yin and yang counterpart of the other, and inherited the position of the Fire God. However, if the two of them can pass the tests of the Evil God King and the Good God King, then judging from the intentions of those two lazy God Kings, it seems they are preparing to relinquish their positions as God Kings.

In other words, if Chen Hong and Ye Lingling are willing, the God King of Destruction and the God King of Life are also willing to pass on the position of God King of Life. The God King of Life holds a special position in the God Realm. Her true form is the Tree of Life rooted in the Great World of the God Realm. Even if the position of God King of Life is passed on, it will not affect her influence over the God Realm.

However, the key point now is that Chen Hong seems to have his own path to follow and is destined not to accept the inheritance of the divine position. At this time, if the divine position of life is passed on to Ye Lingling, it will have a bit of a minotaur-like quality to it.

If there were three people, the God of Destruction could say, "No, you've come at the right time," and then embrace both of them, merging into the complete God of Creation. But if it's just Ye Lingling alone, for the God of Life, Chen Hong, Ye Lingling, and the God of Destruction, watching someone else merge with their partner is somewhat humorous.

It's important to understand that even when Chen Hong relied on his unique divine soul and martial soul, he would bring Ye Lingling along for the martial soul fusion. Moreover, even after the fusion, he would mold her into a martial soul weapon, making her appear on his body as an accessory. However, the fusion of a legendary divine authority is a true and complete merging of soul, body, and divine power into one.

"So... we can only watch him use the Heavenly Tribulation to temper his body?" In the central realm of the gods, Poseidon, the sea god, stood atop the thunderclouds, looking down at Chen Hong, whose body was being tempered by heavenly lightning time and time again, approaching the limits of mortals, and his face showed dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, the Craftsman God immediately corrected him with a smile, "No, he was clearly trying to die under the heavenly tribulation, but he was just lucky enough to survive."

Poseidon, the god of the sea, said irritably, "If he's really going to his death, why not lend him a little help?"

Everyone must die eventually. Poseidon, the god of the sea, felt he could help Chen Hong in a small way. After all, Chen Hong's pitiful appearance under the heavenly tribulation, where he remained as still as a mountain, evoked his sympathy and divine compassion. He wanted to help Chen Hong, who was unable to die under the heavenly tribulation.

The burly god of craftsmen chuckled as he glanced at Poseidon, the god of the sea. Although Poseidon was still clad in golden armor and looked exceptionally heroic, his aura was declining, and he was nearing the threshold between a first-level god and a second-level god.

Several years ago, Poseidon, the God of the Sea, possessed an aura that was at the mid-stage of a first-level god.

It's worth mentioning that the flow of time in the God Realm is almost identical to that in the Douluo Realm. However, it's been manipulated by the mysterious and unpredictable God of Time, a first-level god, causing the time required for a day-night cycle in the God Realm to be equivalent to a year in the Douluo Realm. This means that beings in the Douluo Realm experience half a Douluo year of daylight and half a Douluo year of darkness in the God Realm, which corresponds exactly to the polar day and polar night of Douluo Star.

Many people do not understand the change in time units and mistakenly believe that one day in the God Realm (Douluo Heaven) is equal to one year in the Douluo Realm (Douluo Year). If that were the case, then according to the passage of time, the hierarchical relationship between the Douluo Realm and the God Realm should be reversed.

Returning to Poseidon, the god of the sea, Poseidon's power level began to decline steadily after Chen Hong started causing trouble in the Douluo Realm's seas. Although he didn't directly collapse as a god, as a god of faith, Poseidon now has to slowly give back all the benefits of faith he had taken in the early stages.

Although he won't directly fall from his godhood, if the Douluo Realm truly loses the faith in Poseidon, then Poseidon's strength will drop to the level of a second-tier god. It will take him a long time to slowly cultivate back to the level of a first-tier god.

In the realm of gods, a divine position is more of an upper limit. The upper limit for the sea god is a first-level god, which means that Poseidon can cultivate to the peak of a first-level god. Furthermore, with the blessing of the divine realm, the divine position system of the divine realm will allow Poseidon, who has just become a god, to quickly upgrade to the level of a first-level god that is in line with the sea god. Whether he can reach the peak of a first-level god later depends entirely on the talent of the god himself.

Considering the timeline, the Sea God only spent two thousand years cultivating to become a first-level god. Wasn't he also benefiting from the divine hierarchy of the divine realm? Why does the divine realm offer such benefits? The reason is simple: the divine realm is based on divine positions; these positions belong to the divine realm and cannot be taken away by the first generation of gods. This is also why the Asura God-King wanted to flee, but had to leave behind the Asura God-King's position.

Now, Chen Hong's Technological Federation in the Douluo Realm has almost severed the faith in Poseidon, causing the faith-enhanced portion of Poseidon's power to rapidly dissipate. It's hard to say whether this is good or bad. In fact, if you look at it from a positive perspective, Poseidon might be able to solidify his divine power in the future and break free from the constraints of faith.

However, Poseidon, the god of the sea, couldn't accept it. Imagine, who could bear to watch themselves grow weaker day by day? Especially since Poseidon couldn't kill Chen Hong right now, it made Poseidon even more unhappy.

"If he really wants to become the Supreme God King, then isn't his current situation the best arrangement?" The God King of Destruction silently looked at Chen Hong, who had undergone several tribulations under the thunderclouds and gradually transformed his physique to the limit of mortals, and smiled slightly.

"The divine realm is not lacking in first-level gods, and we each still have several first-level god positions that we can't use. What the divine realm lacks most is a god-king. Since the battle with the dragon god, no new god-king has been born in the divine realm."

"Therefore, from the perspective of the divine realm itself, the power of the divine realm's laws cannot be used to deal with a mortal with the potential to become a god-king." Although he would not intervene, the God-King of Destruction still expressed his attitude and the attitude that the divine realm's laws should have. This statement was recognized by the other four god-kings.

Even the Asura God-King, in his own script, never considered using the power of the divine laws to strike a mortal with the potential to become a God-King.
