Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 126 The Thoughts of the God of Destruction

"First test: Reach level 50 in soul power and obtain the fifth soul ring. Reward: Increase the lifespan of the soul ring by 1,000 years."

A gentle female voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's consciousness.

Is it really a divine exam?

Huo Yuhao looked completely dumbfounded.

Red-level Eighth Examination?

What level is this?

Also, is God's test really that simple? Is it enough to just raise your soul power to level 50?

The hint contained no information that needed to be kept secret, and Huo Yuhao told Su Yu about the hint he had received.

"Red-level Eighth Trial? This should be the highest level of assessment besides the true successor to the godhood. As for your reward for the first trial, a thousand years increase to all your soul rings, that's not bad."

Su Yu felt that Huo Yuhao's first test had a subtext: Your level is not high enough, level up first.

Spirit world.

"Little Purple, if I pass on my divine position to him, to whom will you give your divine position?"

The god of life was very puzzled.

After leaving the sea god, his lover helped him find this little fellow who was perfectly suited to his divine status.

However, they had agreed to pass on the divine position together before leaving the realm of gods.

"This Huo Yuhao is quite talented, and he has the potential to develop towards destruction, but at most it's a change in mindset. His martial soul isn't suitable for your godhood, is it?"

Faced with the question from the God of Life, the God of Destruction did not answer, but instead wore a meaningful expression.

Su Yu did not reveal his hidden meaning.

A soul power level of 40 is indeed a bit low to participate in the divine test. The meaning of this test might really be what he thought.

But there's no need to say it to hurt Huo Yuhao.

After all, Huo Yuhao is a year younger than Su Yu, and his innate soul power is three times weaker. It's understandable.

A fifteen-year-old Soul Master, and with an ultimate Martial Soul at that, is already quite formidable.

Su Yu descended from the sky, stepped onto the inheritance platform, and released his spiritual power to receive the inheritance from the God of Life.

A green line also appeared between his eyebrows.

This pattern echoes the location of Su Yu's Life Blade, outlining a mysterious pattern.

The green fades, and the mark begins to change from white.

White, yellow, purple, black, red.

"The Test of Life, Red-Level Eighth Test!"

"???"

Su Yu didn't have time to listen to the first test content in his mind before opening his eyes in a daze.

He looked incredulous.

What's going on?

play me?

Did they guide Lao Tzu to come and undergo divine testing, and then refuse to grant him the divine position?

The God of Life?

That's not right.

Su Yu felt that the God of Life in his mind was not like this.

Spirit world.

"Little Purple, what are you doing!"

The God of Life frowned and glared angrily at the God of Destruction.

"Hehe, Little Green, don't you think this little guy's talent is more suited to helping you condense your divine position?"

The God of Destruction was also a little guilty. Although it was the place of his wife's inheritance, and he certainly wouldn't be reported to the committee, something still felt off.

"Um?"

Upon hearing the words of the God of Destruction, the God of Life's expression changed slightly.

To be honest, Su Yu is quite suitable for her Godhood of Life. His life attributes are at least 90% compatible with his Godhood.

But to be honest, Su Yu's core talent doesn't seem to be related to himself.

"Su Yu's greatest talent is his wisdom. Wisdom is a considerable power, and it is one of the powers that our God Realm has not yet fully solidified. Moreover, the rules of wisdom in Douluo Continent also need his appearance to be perfected."

The God of Destruction spoke eloquently, but the God of Life always felt that he was more inclined to oppose the God of the Sea.

After becoming a god, Tang San, the Sea God, came to the God Realm and was at odds with the God of Destruction. The focus of their argument was whether to expand the God Realm.

"Little Green, you must understand that the development of the divine realm does not rely on the inheritance of generations of gods, but on the formation of new divine positions!"

After the divine succession, retired gods will certainly explore and develop the outside world, but they will mostly travel and play, and the improvement they can truly bring to the essence of the divine realm is limited.

On the contrary, the formation of new divine positions, the improvement of the rules of the divine realm, and the improvement of the rules of the lower realm under the rule of the divine realm are the right ways for a divine realm to accumulate power more quickly.

Since the first generation of sea gods, the divine realm has not expanded for more than thirty years.

"But didn't the sea god say—"

"Hmph, what premonition of crisis? That's pure nonsense. When faced with a crisis, the focus should be on developing and expanding the divine realm, and increasing the number of divine positions to better cope with it!"

Destruction held a deep-seated prejudice against the sea god, and all the pent-up anger he had been holding in for so long was finally released.

His wife was completely fooled by that guy, always thinking he was some kind of good person who was doing it for the good of the gods.

He's nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing!

They feign compassion on the surface, but who knows what they're plotting behind the scenes.

Even the god of life was speechless at this moment.

Such a good successor, what a pity.

It's already at the eighth level of the Red Grade exam; we can't just cancel it and re-evaluate it.

Moreover, wouldn't it be awkward if only he found a successor while Xiao Zi remained the God of Destruction?

Should I leave the realm of gods or not?

Su Yu was unaware of what was happening in the God Realm and was still somewhat bewildered.

He snapped out of his daze and listened to the voice in his mind.

"First test: Comprehend the true meaning of life, reward: 10,000 points of faith power."

The power of faith?

Su Yu didn't know what the Goddess of Life was thinking, but he could try to discern her intentions from her assessments and rewards.

At this moment, Su Yu focused on one point: the power of faith.

Can the rewards from the Divine Trial directly grant the power of faith?

Why reward me with Faith Power instead of increasing the age of my Soul Rings?

And what is the true meaning of life?

Su Yu's thoughts were racing, and the two runes "Qing" and "Ming" shone brightly in his mind.

What is life?

Life is the birth of wisdom, a collision of spiritualities, and the existence of all beings with the ability to think independently.

In Su Yu's mind, the most important thing in life is to have wisdom.

Even creatures that seem to lack intelligence possess wisdom and spirituality, though the degree of these qualities may vary.

From a human perspective, some creatures are considered to have pitifully little intelligence and are labeled as lacking in sentience or being unenlightened.

Everything that possesses vitality has its own spirituality. The existence of spirituality inherently possesses its own consciousness, but this spirituality can be hidden, and the consciousness can be dormant.

"First test completed, reward: 10,000 points of Faith Power."

Su Yu sensed a ball of pure energy sealed within his spiritual sea.

Meanwhile, the second test was delayed.

"The power of faith is the spiritual energy and concentrated thoughts of living beings. Pure faith can increase the age of a soul ring, nurture spirituality, and has endless uses."

For some reason, Su Yu felt a surge of understanding about the power of faith.

"God's methods?"

No, it shouldn't be that the God of Life translated it directly into my heart, but rather that this information itself is part of the power of faith.

If the power of faith is the convergence of the thoughts of living beings, then it should also be able to store some thoughts.

Su Yu opened his eyes, but the second test was nowhere to be seen.

"Yuhao, let's get your fourth spirit ring first."

Although he was unhappy, Su Yu wasn't too disappointed.

He has always trusted himself more. If outsiders can provide help, that's great, but if they can't, he won't feel that others owe him anything.

Through observation, Su Yu discovered that the soul beasts in this land of the God of Life's inheritance were all very gentle and did not show much aggression towards the two humans.

Even those soul beasts that are not of the life attribute seem to have good personalities.

Su Yu did not use hunting methods.

"Hello, Yuhao and I are Soul Masters from the outside world. Yuhao needs a partner now. Would you be willing to become his Soul Spirit?"

Su Yu's mental energy fluctuations conveyed his meaning.

"Greetings, esteemed Soul Masters."

It seemed that the red markings on their heads elevated their status, and the Enchanting Butterfly was very easy to talk to.

"I also want to go out and see the world. Is it really possible to exist as a spirit spirit even after becoming a spirit ring?"

"OK."

Seeing that the other party was so easy to communicate with, Su Yu immediately summoned the Blue Silver Emperor.

"This is Old Blue, he is my soul."

Although living in this space, isolated from the outside world, these soul beasts still retain some basic knowledge. They know that a soul master needs to kill a soul beast to absorb its soul ring. So when they see the Blue Silver Emperor's soul spirit form, they are immediately amazed.

After communicating with the Blue Silver Emperor and learning about the characteristics of soul spirits, the Enchanted Butterfly quickly agreed to become Huo Yuhao's soul spirit.

Huo Yuhao accepted the test of the God of Life, which already made the Enchanting Butterfly more affectionate. After becoming a soul spirit, he would be able to see the wonderful world outside, so of course she accepted.

As for lifespan limitations, the Mystic Butterfly doesn't have such high expectations for them.

She had already experienced the latter—brief glory and prolonged solitude—and now she wanted to try the former.

"By the way, may I ask how many years you've worked here?"

The Mystic Butterfly, a type of soul beast, has become extinct on the Douluo Continent, and Su Yu is unsure of its exact age.

"I have cultivated for fifty thousand years."

The Enchanting Butterfly flapped its wings and danced around Huo Yuhao in the air, trying its best to demonstrate its abilities.

Her mental strength was quite powerful, and even Su Yu's expression changed slightly.

"This level of mental strength—"

"Wow, his mental strength is even higher than when I was 100,000 years ago!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed.

"I have mutated in terms of mental attributes."

The Bewitching Butterfly is proficient in illusionary attacks and already possesses mental attributes; this particular Bewitching Butterfly has undergone a mutation in its mental attributes.

It's a perfect fit for Huo Yuhao.

With Su Yu as witness, Huo Yuhao successfully signed the Bewitching Butterfly as his soul spirit and absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring from the Bewitching Butterfly.

Only after leaving the inheritance space did Su Yu receive information about the second trial.

"Second Test: Explore the application of Faith Power, reward: 50,000 Faith Power"

When the content of the second test was revealed, Su Yu felt as if he had grasped something.

"This god of life seems unwilling to let me inherit the position of god of life; instead, he is guiding me to learn something."

"Yuhao, you can share the news of receiving the inheritance, but you must be careful what the other party says."

It's okay if someone knows, but you must ensure your own safety.

Anyway, it's not a real divine test, just a red-level test by the gods, so no one would want to kill the two of them.

After all, if someone who has passed the Divine Examination is killed, they might be able to inherit that person's qualifications, but a Red-level examination is really unnecessary.

On the contrary, it might provide the task content for others, and if they survive and complete the task, they will directly receive the reward and their strength will skyrocket, which would be game over.

Huo Yuhao nodded, indicating that he would keep his mouth shut and wouldn't let too many people know.

"Yuhao, it's a god! This is a god! This is the first time I've ever faced a god, and I missed it!"

The screams of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind, so loud that Huo Yuhao could hardly stand it.

The newly joined Mystic Butterfly looked at the giant insect with an expression as if it were an idiot.

Hmph, the God of Life is the God of Life! Although Yuhao has high talent, he has nothing to do with life. This big bug is really stupid.

"Alright, alright, Brother Tianmeng, this is the place where the God of Life inherits his legacy. It doesn't quite match my attributes, so it's understandable that I wasn't chosen," Huo Yuhao comforted Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Speaking of which, it's a real pity that Brother Yu didn't pass the Divine Trial."

"That's true." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stopped wailing.

Su Yu's talent in life attributes is even more extraordinary than Huo Yuhao's talent in extreme ice.

Moreover, despite being so perfectly aligned with the god of life, he was not chosen.

Bad news: Yuhao wasn't selected.

Good news: Su Yu was not selected either.

After emerging from the life space, Huo Yuhao observed Su Yu's expression and found nothing unusual, which made him admire Su Yu's strong inner strength.

"Brother Yu, aren't you sad that you didn't pass the Divine Trial?" He couldn't help but ask curiously.

Su Yu rolled his eyes.

"If I don't get it, I don't get it. What else can I do? The rewards for completing all eight Red-level trials are absolutely equivalent to the cost of directly raising me to the Limit Douluo level. It's a free reward, so what's there to be sad about?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched.

Is that a correct understanding?

"But."

Doesn't that seem unfair?

Huo Yuhao felt that the world was unfair from a young age.

His personality is actually quite extreme. In the past two years, he has mainly focused on researching soul tools at Mingde Hall. Coupled with the antics of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, his extreme personality has gradually stabilized.

But one belief he never changed was that the world is unfair.

"But what?" Su Yu asked, seeing Huo Yuhao stammering.

Huo Yuhao thought about what happened to him when he was a child.

"Brother Yu, don't you think this is unfair? With your abilities and talent, aren't you good enough for a top-tier exam?"

With all that a mother has sacrificed, doesn't she deserve that man's concern?

Su Yu realized that this was the moment when Huo Yuhao was getting stuck on a rut.

"Yuhao, I don't know what you went through when you were a child, so it's hard to judge. But I still have to say that life is full of ups and downs, and fate can be unpredictable."

But the world is fair. The world's operation requires natural evolution, and it is not unfair to anyone.

If so, then the injustice lies with those who disrupt evolution, those who break the rules.

After thinking about it, I still feel that creating my own divine position is more prestigious.

The conflict between Destruction and Tang San lies in whether or not to expand the God Realm. My understanding is that expanding the God Realm essentially means consolidating new divine positions, expanding the scope of the God Realm, and controlling more planes.
