Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 268 Nine Gods in the Divine Realm Prison

Ye Qing's smooth combo made Mu En and the other two's eyes light up.

"So, you have really received the inheritance of the gods?" Xuanzi asked again, somewhat excitedly.

"It's the real deal, brother!" Ye Qing nodded seriously, then gently touched the tower-shaped mark between his eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, an aura of extraordinary power was released from the mark. The holy aura of light, which seemed to illuminate all darkness and purify any filth, caused both Limit Douluos to subconsciously take a few steps back.

Ye Feng's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

"The Nine Gods of the Divine Realm! They must all be powerful elders of the Divine Realm, capable of changing the world with a mere gesture, right?" Ye Feng said with great emotion as he sensed this transcendent aura.

"Of course! He's the ultimate deity among deities, so it's only natural that he's incredibly powerful!" Ye Qing continued to spout nonsense.

Anyway, the aura of divine sense was real. As for whether it was a divine position assessment or not, Mu En and the others had no way to verify its authenticity. As for the specifics, it all depended on Ye Qing's words and performance.

It's just that Mu En and the other two misunderstood what Ye Qing meant by "Lao Jiu Shen" (牢九神). After all, in Douluo Continent, playing with puns doesn't cost you anything.

"Hahaha... I knew you had a bright future ahead of you, kid. I never thought you would actually be favored by the gods and pass the divine qualification test!" Xuanzi laughed and patted Ye Qing's shoulder hard.

He was saying that no matter how outrageous Ye Qing's talent was, reaching the Soul Douluo level at less than twenty years old, the gap between him and the Limit Douluo was still too big. How could he possibly feel threatened?

So it turns out they received a divine test and became the successor of the gods.

That's not surprising at all!

"Alright, enough of this small talk. As for Ye Qing obtaining the Divine Trial, I hope you two won't spread this around." Mu En coughed twice and instructed Xuan Zi and Ye Feng.

Ye Feng and Xuan Zi nodded in tacit agreement.

Of course not!

Passing the divine test does not mean becoming a god. Before the divine test is completed, the divine position cannot be inherited by Ye Qing.

Ye Qing hasn't fully inherited the position of god yet, so it's best to keep this a secret. If some old fogies find out, who can guarantee they won't do something crazy?

No matter how talented or strong Ye Qing is, that's only relative to his peers. In the end, he's just a Soul Douluo.

Mu En and Xuan Zi couldn't possibly protect Ye Qing around the clock without any loopholes, and Ye Qing himself probably wouldn't be happy to have an extra protector.

Having received news of the divine examination, the best course of action is to keep it hidden.

"But..." Ye Qing raised his hand and pointed to the mark between his eyebrows, "This thing can't be hidden. Anyone with a bit of strength can see that the Divine Test Mark is extraordinary. Like you, Teacher and Elder Xuan, didn't you recognize it as the Divine Test Mark in just one glance?"

"That is a problem..." Moon said, a bit of a headache. "How about you wrap it up with a scarf so no one can see it?"

"I think it's better not to, teacher." Ye Qing shook his head. He specially made this divine test mark so that he could openly show off. If he covered it up, wouldn't he have wasted his time?

So he made up another excuse: "Although there are indeed rules in the divine realm that gods cannot interfere with the mortal realm, there can be flexibility when it comes to the succession of divine positions. This mark represents not only the divine examination, but also the divine artifact of the God of Holy Light."

"If I encounter danger, the divine artifact within the mark can protect me. Didn't Tang San, the Sea God ten thousand years ago, possess the divine artifact, the Trident of the Sea God, even before becoming a god?"

"I'm the same way. But to truly be able to use the artifact actively, I still need to complete the seventh test of the divine trial. I can't use it actively right now."

Artifact!

Another new point of knowledge has been added.

"Then it's alright. As long as you have your own plans, the teacher won't interfere too much." After hearing Ye Qing's words, Mu En visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

As a teacher, he was naturally happy that his disciple had passed the divine test. However, with Mu En's prudent nature, at the same time, he was not thinking about how much benefit he could gain after Ye Qing became a god, but rather how to help Ye Qing pass the divine test more smoothly.

Safety issues before the assessment is completed are naturally also within Moon's consideration.

Since Ye Qing has the protection of a "divine artifact," his worries have become unnecessary.

"It's nothing, teacher, you're just doing this for my own good." Ye Qing chuckled, then took out another soul bone.

Yes, it's a mental crystal skull, 90,000 years old, from the mermaid race, left behind by Ye Qing before he created Lilith.

Ye Qing remembered the Dragon Pill that Mu En had given him, and it was still safely stored in his storage container.

After his injuries healed, besides making Mu En a god, his only remaining request was probably Bei Bei. Ye Qing's soul bone was more for Bei Bei than for Mu En.

But Ye Qing didn't give it to Bei Bei; instead, he gave it to Mu En.

He doesn't owe Beibei any favors. Although giving the soul bone directly to Beibei would put the favor on Mu En's head, the problem is that Beibei might not accept it! Soul bones are something that even brothers might kill each other over. How could Beibei possibly accept a soul bone given to him by Ye Qing for no reason?

Moon is different; he will definitely accept it for Beibei's sake.

Sure enough, after only a slight hesitation, Moon accepted the 90,000-year-old mermaid skull.

"You... I'll accept the soul bone. I really do need it," Mu En said helplessly. Just as Ye Qing had guessed, he accepted the soul bone for Bei Bei's sake.

There aren't many things left that he cares about, and Beibei, his only bloodline descendant, is naturally one of the things he cares about most.

Of course, when refining Lilith, Ye Qing not only kept the soul bone, but also the Sea Princess's two daughters.

The eldest daughter, Lijing, is a 230,000-year-old ferocious beast, while the youngest daughter, Liya, has just broken through to the 100,000-year mark.

Ye Qing planned to leave the elder daughter's soul ring and soul bone to Xu Jiujiu as her ninth soul ring and skull, while the younger daughter Liya's soul ring and soul bone were planned to be left to Zhang Lexuan.

Fortunately, the Sea Princess was quite strong, with her own cultivation spanning 620,000 years. Even without the nourishment from her two daughters, she was still stronger than Dong Qianqiu.

These two mermaids are currently frozen in the undead demiplane by the Great Cold and Snowless. They will be taken out when needed.
