Douluo Continent: I Raise God-Level Soul Beasts

These divine powers were terrifying. Even after the passage of many years, they still made Yu Yuanzhen tremble with fear, unable to imagine who had released this purple lightning.

These divine thunderbolts naturally came from the Thunder God Dragon of yesteryear.

Yu Xiaogang's remains circulated in the mouth of the Thunder Dragon. Its saliva, containing super-divine thunder element particles, flowed into his bone marrow, where it remained until the bone marrow began to rot, at which point it began to leak out.

But it was also this super-divine lightning particle that kept the skeleton highly active, giving its owner the possibility of resurrection during the era of Gods.

Yes, resurrecting a person, resurrecting a Soul Master, is not difficult for a god.

The prerequisite is that their souls have not completely dissipated, so that their bodies can be reconstructed and their spirit and flesh can be merged.

Clearly, lightning is the nemesis of all souls, especially the ultimate lightning...

"Brother, what are you thinking? This kid's soul has long since vanished, there's absolutely no possibility of him reviving. Look at the lightning element particles, that's enough to prove that the stone super lightning beast that killed this kid is real."

"I'm wondering whether I should hold you accountable to our ancestors."

Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Luomian, his eyes narrowing slightly.

To be honest, they didn't care at all about not being able to revive Yu Xiaogang. He just saw it and mentioned it casually. If it didn't work, so be it. With Yu Yuanzhen's divine body and his current energy, he could have ten more children if he wanted to. Why be so fixated on a useless son?

What angered him even more was that the vast sect's prosperity and development over hundreds of years had been ruined during his reign.

Honestly, he wanted to kill Yu Luomian. You kid, if you really liked her back then, you should have been more determined and protected her with your life. We, as her relatives, would never have driven away a deputy sect leader like you.

Now look what's happened. Not only has the sect been destroyed, but we've also lost a top expert like Liu Erlong.

From then on, the era of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three powerful sects that once dominated the Douluo Continent, was gone forever. In this era of rising gods, the Blue Lightning Dragon Clan declined and gradually became a second-rate and then a third-rate force...

Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall is developing better and better. Under the dominance of Bibi Dong, the spirit master system across the continent is becoming more unified.

As the number of gods increased, the Papal Palace established a new core department called the Temple.

The temple is directly under the command of the Pope and is a high-level institution of the Martial Soul Empire. All its members are gods who join by swearing an oath to the gods.

The Divine Rule is an ironclad law of the Spirit Hall, designed to constrain the power of the gods, limit their rights, and weaken their deterrent effect and privileges over ordinary people.

This violates the ironclad law of the jungle.

But no god can overthrow it.

It's also not good for any righteous god to try to overthrow him.

Because the gods who tried to overthrow it were either annihilated into ashes or never had the chance to become gods at all.

What? Your purpose in becoming a god is to oppress others? To gain supreme privileges?

Sorry, Jin Yuan's Divine Banquet has rejected you and blacklisted you.

What? After you became a god, you bullied men and women, and forcibly married your neighbor's wife and your brother's sister?

Sorry, the Divine Guard of the Spirit Empire has locked onto you and issued a Judgment of Destruction.

The first to discover the path to future divine rise was the Nine Treasures Divine Glass Sect.

As a major contributor to the economy, survival is always their top priority.

Once they fall behind the times, they will never be able to turn their lives around.

This is completely contrary to the principle of "supports are always there, main carries are always coming and going".

This is an inevitable result of overthrowing the system.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin ultimately concluded that the core issue lay with the child.

Children need to be nurtured from a young age. They possess the purest hearts and minds. By cultivating a good image and worldview in them, they can more easily gain the approval of the Spirit Hall and the Golden Garden.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi gave birth to Ning Rongrong and sent her to the Spirit Hall for training.

In the near future, the royal families of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire also gathered some philosophers and sociologists to study this problem.

Similarly, having become a subordinate empire of the Spirit Empire, they were also forced to send some members of the royal family to study at the Spirit Hall.

The core classes at the Spirit Hall Academy have an agricultural course where the teacher teaches them to identify flowers and plants.

Those who served as agronomy teachers were often employees with rich work experience in Jinyuan. After becoming gods, they performed well and were promoted by the Spirit Hall, with some of them entering the Spirit Hall Academy to work.

Fortunately, Su Ze happened to be in Jinyuan on business one day and met this group of lively and lovely children, which reminded him of Su Xue'er. They were about the same age, and the world should treat them with more kindness and tolerance.

Su Ze treated them to some snacks and tea that was good for the children.

After they returned, their bodies underwent a transformation.

Ning Rongrong ran home proudly and twirled around Ning Fengzhi twice like a princess:

"Look, Dad, my martial soul has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! My god, it's still leveling up! It broke through nine levels! It's become a twelve-story glazed tile pagoda!"

"A twelve-story glazed pagoda, what does that even mean?"

Ning Fengzhi was greatly shocked. That should be called the Twelve-Layer Glazed Divine Tower. She had gained the qualification to smoothly enter the Divine Realm. Look, there is a Glazed Divine Pearl hidden in the upper three layers of the twelve layers. That thing has the same function as a divine spark. It will be activated sooner or later!

Based on Ning Fengzhi's many years of experience, the upper limit of the nine-story Glazed Divine Tower should be a level 139 main god, and the upper limit of the twelve-story Glazed Divine Tower should be at least a level 149 peak god king!

Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed and kept asking Ning Rongrong what delicious food she had eaten.

Actually, it wasn't anything special. It was just maltose, made from some kind of super-divine substance, that Su Xue'er loved to eat when she was three years old.

Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi was mentally prepared; his god-like will prevented him from shouting like his father.

“My child, you have brought honor to our ancestors. I am overjoyed. My wish has been fulfilled. I will die with regrets.”

Then he died on the spot.

When the royal families of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire belatedly sent their children to the Spirit Hall, it wasn't actually too late. They had been closely monitoring these matters and spared no expense in purchasing intelligence and acquiring informants.

After all, everyone knows that the best cultivation resources are in the manor, and the key to entering the manor is Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Ultimately, the Star Luo Empire sent its eldest prince and the eldest granddaughter of one of the Star Luo aristocratic families to try to enter the Spirit Hall Academy.

That is, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

This was initially met with opposition from the Star Luo nobles, who argued that Davis was the Crown Prince of Star Luo, and how could the heir apparent be allowed to wander in another country? Moreover, he was taking Zhu Zhuyun, who was betrothed to Davis, with him—the future Empress!

This is an absolute insult to the empire!

Later, a clear-headed official risked his life to say, "What does it matter? If the Martial Soul Empire wants to destroy us, who has the power to resist? We are already a nation that is no longer a nation. If we are backward, we will be beaten. Letting the prince go and train himself is not necessarily a bad thing."

He succeeded; the Star Luo Emperor listened to his advice.

Yes, he was cooked too.

Unfortunately, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun did not perform very well at the Spirit Hall Academy, so Xingluo is discussing whether to send the Second Prince there as well, because competition brings pressure.

This caused a sensation throughout the court and the public. What? Send the Second Prince to the Spirit Hall as well? Unless His Majesty has another son to prepare for the worst!

Then, Zhu Zhuqing, the cat of the Zhu family, packed her bags and ran off.

If not now, when?

A new opportunity awaits her there, right here amidst endless clan rivalries, and where she'll gain a useless tiger husband...

In the year 2640 of the Douluo Calendar, the Spirit Hall Academy called upon all academies across the continent to host a competition for gifted children called "Divine Rise".

The requirements for participants in TVXQ are: age under 12 and cultivation level above Soul Master.

Such requirements would have been considered outrageous three or five decades ago, making it impossible to assemble a team.

But now it's possible, and quite a few at that.

TVXQ even abandoned the seven-person team in the Soul Master competition, reducing it to a five-person team, and even recommending a three-person team.

The organizers believed that during TVXQ's youth, the large number of members actually limited the expression of their individual personalities.

Instead, we could try merging agility-based attacks and strength-based attacks, or placing agility-based attacks and control-based attacks side-by-side, and putting defense-based attacks into the support system, etc.

Ning Fengzhi made the right judgment. The loss of a player in the team means that the survival space of the support players is compressed. There are no extra people to protect them. If they do not improve their own survival ability, they can easily be killed within three minutes of the start of the game.

However, the main team's mechanism reform group did not think their attempt was a mistake. They believed that having the main carry protect the support in a seven-person team was a joke, as it would restrict the team's offensiveness and mobility, resulting in an excessively long match.

In the TVXQ match, this kind of playstyle was really outdated!

Their decisions will be proven correct by time.

In name, there is no distinction between academies and sects among the participating teams; they are all assembled independently, and the cultivators have full autonomy.

(In reality, most teams are still formed by academies and sects, since these are the mainstream training institutions.)

The champion's reward is a Super God Golden Egg, which can hatch a Soul Beast with A+ grade bloodline, or they can choose an A+ grade flower. They will also receive the Spirit Hall's life protection for thirty years.

This drove countless Soul Masters and God-level experts mad.

Even in the era of God Rising, super divine beasts were still extremely precious, and in their eyes, they could crush everything.

After all, looking at the entire Douluo Continent, there are only a handful of super-god-level powerhouses.

How could Tang San, whose goal is to surpass his father, miss such an opportunity?

Before the competition, he had the opportunity to visit Jinyuan once.

It was evening, and most of the workers in Jinyuan had finished work. There weren't many people inside, but he still couldn't get in and could only wait outside. He needed to buy a bundle of eggs for the academy. This was a benefit prepared by the Divine Rise Competition for all cultivators; each participant could buy three eggs from Jinyuan.

Don't underestimate these eggs. Although their quality is not as good as those from the small farm, they are still of celestial grade or higher, and are a great tonic for these children.

But it was only this time that Tang San saw the white moonlight in his heart.

She was a girl in a white dress, who looked no older than him, but her temperament was outstanding and incomparable to that of other girls. As she passed by, she carried a faint ocean fragrance, which seemed to purify everything.

The girl muttered, "Why can't I participate in TVXQ's competition? I'm not even 12 years old yet. I'll have to ask my mom when I get back!"

The girl's mutterings were quite loud, and Tang San happened to hear them. He thought to himself, "She's participating in the Divine Rise Tournament too? I wonder how strong she is? Perhaps I could bring her into my team, but if she's weak, she'll just drag my team down..."

The elimination mechanism in the Shenqi competition does have a significant impact on the team's margin for error. There is a big difference between having one useless player among seven players and having one useless player among three to five players.

But Tang San still couldn't help but ask:

"Hey, are you also interested in the Divine Rising Competition? My name is Tang San, I'm ten years old, and I'm at level 47, the Soul Master realm. You're a Soul Master too, right?"

The girl smiled at him politely, a subtle gesture of goodwill, but the contempt hidden in her eyes was something he would never forget:

"Hello, Su Xueer. My teacher told me not to casually reveal my level of knowledge to others. I'm sorry."

"I should go back now."

"Go back? Do you live in Jinyuan?"

"Um... I don't live here, but you can consider this place my home. I'm here to find my dad."

"So your dad works at Jinyuan, right? I really envy you. Having a dad who works at Jinyuan means you must be quite skilled. Would you be interested in joining our Shrek team and making it into the top ten of the Shenqi Tournament?"
