Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 406 The New God of Death!

Inside the Temple of Death, the current God of Death sits facing the previous God of Death.

"Congratulations! From now on, you are the new Grim Reaper of Douluo Continent." Xiao Bai congratulated Zhu Ziyang with a smile.

"Thank you!" Zhu Ziyang looked at Xiaobai in front of him with a complicated expression and said his thanks.

"Hey, this place where the God of Death passed on his legacy is yours from now on. I can finally be free." Xiao Bai's tone carried a hint of relief as he said, "If you don't plan to pass on your divine position anytime soon, you can store it in your demiplane. After all, it is a branch of the Ancient Tree of Death."

"I will." Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang's heart stirred, and he nodded in agreement.

"Here you go, this Rakshasa God's position." Xiaobai returned the Rakshasa God's position that he had taken from Zhu Ziyang, and warned, "If you have any ideas about the Rakshasa God's position, then I advise you not to take any more action under the Douluo Starry Sky. With the current dimension of the Douluo Starry Sky, it is simply not allowed for a god who can bear two kinds of primordial laws to be born here."

If you have no interest in the position of Rakshasa, that's naturally the best outcome; I don't need to say anything more.

"I understand." Zhu Ziyang nodded and put away the Rakshasa God's position.

"Alright, it's almost time," Xiaobai sighed, then said with a smile, "When you ascend to the God Realm, please apologize to the God of Life and the God of Destruction for me. Tell them that Xiaobai went to find Xiaojin and asked Xiaozi to take good care of Xiaolü."

"I will." Zhu Ziyang felt inexplicably sad and nodded solemnly in promise.

"Thank you!" Xiao Bai smiled with relief, and then his body quickly glowed with white light. He floated rapidly towards the top of the Temple of Death, out of the Temple of Death, out of the Land of Inheritance, into the void, and into the Land of the End, which Zhu Ziyang could no longer see.

There, the soul of the first God of Death will return to the laws of the starry sky and enter the cycle of countless laws. Perhaps, one day, Zhu Ziyang will see a similar flower on a planet under the Douluo Starry Sky, although this possibility is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.

The Douluo Starry Sky exists within the cycle of reincarnation, but it is attached to the great cycle of the universe. For gods like the God of Death, who did not fall naturally, their souls entering the cycle of reincarnation are like a lone boat at sea, unable to control themselves, only able to drift with the wind towards the unknown future. The only thing to be thankful for is that, as an innate god, his reincarnation will inevitably possess the most outstanding talents. Perhaps in the distant and unknowable future, he will return to the Douluo Starry Sky as a god again.

Zhu Ziyang watched as Xiaobai vanished completely, a faint sadness filling his heart. He could only silently wish this senior well; there was nothing more he could do. His sadness quickly dissipated. Standing in the Temple of Death, he began to feel the changes and progress he had made since becoming a god.

A greyish-white robe appeared on his body, completely covering him. The hood concealed his face completely. The robe was devoid of any decoration, with only an elusive grey aura flowing across it. This was the God-King's Robe, or more accurately, the Death God's Robe, symbolizing the identity of the Death God-King. It could also block the prying eyes of all divine senses below the same level, making it a divine artifact.

The God King's robe vanished with a thought, revealing Zhu Ziyang beneath it. Zhu Ziyang was now completely covered in white armor, which was naturally the divine armor set formed from the six soul bones after he ascended to godhood. The pair of white-gold wings on the back of the breastplate came from the Ice Dragon King's wings. This divine armor could be called the Death God Set. Although it also possessed the power of light and the power of ice, it was, after all, derived from the position of the Death God.

The Grim Reaper suit disappeared with Zhu Ziyang's thoughts, and he returned to his normal appearance. However, the feedback from his body told him that from now on, he and humans were two different species. Although there was no reproductive isolation, there was a difference in their life levels. This was not a simple difference between humans and gods; there was a more complex difference between them.

With a casual gesture, the element of light condensed and compressed rapidly in his hand, eventually forming a crystal. This was the purest crystal of the element of light, something that could only be achieved with a profound mastery of the laws of light. With a thought, the crystal of the element of light quickly vanished and dissipated into the space.

Zhu Ziyang extended his right hand, and with a flash of light, a pure white long-handled scythe appeared in his hand. This was his martial soul, the Scythe of Peace and Destiny, and also his divine weapon, the Scythe of Peace and Destiny. After Zhu Ziyang completed his divine inheritance, the previous God of Death's divine weapon, the Scythe of the Dead, was completely absorbed by the Scythe of Peace and Destiny. This caused Zhu Ziyang's Scythe of Peace and Destiny to evolve into a divine-level martial soul, and at the same time, it truly transcended the realm of martial souls, becoming a true divine weapon.

Similarly, Zhu Ziyang extended his left hand, and a platinum-gold armor quickly appeared on his body. The armor had a unique design, completely resembling a giant dragon. The helmet was the head of a dragon, and a pair of dragon horns pointed straight to the sky like white jade daggers. The hands and feet were the claws of a dragon, the body armor was the body of a dragon, and there was a pair of dragon wings behind him. Platinum dragon scales covered every part of the armor, but it did not appear heavy. Instead, it had a just-right beauty.

This dragon armor is full of domineering and handsomeness. Compared with the ancient style of the Grim Reaper set, it is like highbrow art compared to lowbrow art. However, in terms of actual practicality, the difference between the two is reversed. Although the Grim Reaper set is a bit ancient, it is an indisputable set of god-kings, while this dragon armor, although handsome, is just an ordinary god-level set.

After all, this dragon armor is Zhu Ziyang's second martial soul, the Heavenly Frost White Dragon King martial soul. Although the Heavenly Frost White Dragon King martial soul has also advanced to the god-level martial soul, it is only an ordinary god-level one. Its source is the dragon bloodline that Zhu Ziyang possesses. After Zhu Ziyang became a god, this dragon bloodline has been completely assimilated into his own bloodline. In a sense, Zhu Ziyang alone is a new race.

Currently, Zhu Ziyang's cultivation and life level are both at the god level, which, if we break it down further, would be a lower-level god. Of course, if he were to use the position of the god of death, then he would be at the god-king level. Lower-level god, middle-level god, upper-level god, true god, god-king—there are three levels between these, and the difference is quite significant.

According to the Douluo God Realm, the difference between a God Official, a Level 3 God, a Level 2 God, a Level 1 God, and a God King is that, as everyone knows, there are as many God Officials in the God Realm as there are Soul Masters in the Soul Master Realm. However, there are only a handful of God Kings in the God Realm, comparable to Limit Douluo.

Of course, this is not a problem for Zhu Ziyang, because no matter what, before he gave up the position of God of Death, his identity was God King, and when he decided to give up the position of God of Death, his identity would still be God King.

After checking himself thoroughly, Zhu Ziyang had a thought, and five beautiful women with different postures appeared before him. Their faces were filled with excitement, surprise, joy, and other positive emotions. After appearing in front of Zhu Ziyang, they all rushed towards him, calling out sweetly to express their feelings.

Zhu Ziyang spent a great deal of effort to calm them down, and they were naturally Zhu Ziyang's five soul spirits: Snow, Ice, Frost, Dew, and Spring.

As Zhu Ziyang achieved godhood, the five spirits also received feedback. Among them, the two closest to Zhu Ziyang, Xue Di and Di Er Shuang and Quan Er, both reached the god level, while Bing Di and Lu Er were just one step away from achieving it.

The reason for this situation is quite simple. As Zhu Ziyang's first soul spirit, Xue Di naturally has the closest relationship with him and receives the most divine-level materials, which is to be expected. As for Second Frost, being a homologous isomer of Zhu Ziyang's second martial soul, it's inevitable that she will achieve godhood as his second martial soul reaches godhood. As for Quan'er, the reason is simple: as the only soul spirit on the Jing Shi Xiu Ming Sickle martial soul, she is directly linked to the God of Death's position, so reaching godhood is perfectly normal. Therefore, Quan'er is the strongest among the three god-level soul spirits.

The remaining two received the same feedback, but due to the difference in their cultivation levels, they were both just one step away from reaching the god level. Among them, Ice Emperor was closest to the god level, followed by Lu'er.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the three god-level soul spirits have now separated from their spirit bodies and possess complete bodies. This means that they have become real living beings again. Although the soul spirit contract still binds them, having a body means having more possibilities. First of all, they are able to cultivate on their own.

This is something to be happy about for Zhu Ziyang and for the five spirits.

"Quan'er, when did you come back to my side?" Zhu Ziyang was a little surprised by Quan'er's appearance, and he asked.

"I don't know either. I was with Le Xuan when I suddenly felt a surge of energy within me, so I asked Le Xuan for leave and went to close my eyes and meditate. After that, I don't remember anything. When I opened my eyes, I was already here," Quan'er said somewhat blankly. "But I have a feeling that once I leave here, I will return to the Sun Moon Empire."

"Oh, that's good. You can tell Sister Lexuan and Nannan about my becoming a god so they won't worry," Zhu Ziyang said with a smile.

"Mmm!" Quan'er nodded obediently in agreement.

"Alright, you guys familiarize yourselves with your current strength. I'm going to find the teacher," Zhu Ziyang said. Then, with a thought, the entire space where the inheritance ground was located disappeared.

Within the Holy Law demiplane, an unfamiliar space descended, and a palace was erected on the vast land.

Meanwhile, in the realm of gods, a strange fluctuation of laws stirred the thoughts of all the gods.

"A new God of Death... has been born!" Inside the central hub of the divine realm, a male god and a female god felt the Daoist voice emanating from the central hub of the divine realm. They were somewhat confused, yet also joyful. They did not know the origin of this God of Death, but the divine realm had gained a new god, which meant it had gained more power. This was definitely a good thing.
