Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

Given the characteristics of his own martial soul, after absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, will he be able to skip all the intermediate steps and directly control this terrifying power originating from the God King?

At worst, could we at least obtain a sample of power at the level of a god-king?

Thinking of it, I acted on it, and thus, this spirit ring came into being.

Seeing that the divinely bestowed spirit ring had been successfully condensed, Kong Ming's mind was at ease. With a thought, his Sea God Martial Soul immediately controlled the Sea God Divine Trial to sever the dark red energy extraction channel between him and Tang San.

It also simultaneously presented a perfect illusion that "the carrier's capacity has reached its limit."

Then, he raised his hand and carefully put away the dark red divine soul ring. At the same time, the Sea God Martial Soul beside him transformed into a blue light and disappeared back into Wang Dong'er's body inside the test chamber.

With everything settled, Kong Ming'an did not linger there.

The silver-gray spatial door opened silently once again. Kong Ming'an, holding Meng Hongchen's hand in one hand and carrying the dark red soul ring in the other, stepped into the floating test pod and disappeared from the ward.

……

……

Mingdu, Kong Family Chamber of Commerce Laboratory.

Ripples spread through the air, and the group returned safely.

"Meng, step back a little."

As Kong Ming'an finished speaking, Meng Hongchen did as he was told and took a few steps back.

After Wang Dong'er and the test chamber were properly placed in a corner of the laboratory, Kong Ming'an sat cross-legged on a futon, his gaze falling on the dark red divinely bestowed soul ring in his palm.

Without hesitation, delicate threads of soul power shot out from his body, beginning to wrap around and contact the divinely bestowed soul ring containing the power of the Asura God.

"Om-!"

The spirit ring trembled slightly, and wisps of dark red energy, like living tentacles, attempted to erode Kong Ming'an's body and spirit along the threads of spirit power.

In an instant, a chilling, almost overwhelming killing intent surged against Kong Ming'an's mental barrier like a tidal wave, attempting to awaken the long-suppressed killing intent deep within him.

However, neither the impact of energy nor the erosion of spirit could be easily smoothed over by that invisible and intangible yet absolutely existent power of control before it could touch Kong Ming'an's very essence.

There is no possibility that Kong Ming'an will lose control of this spirit ring, which is essentially still in the category of "energy".

The absorption process was incredibly smooth.

The Asura Divine Power, which could drive an ordinary Soul Master into madness instantly, was as docile as a lamb in front of Kong Ming'an. It was gradually dismantled and assimilated by his Soul Power, and finally easily absorbed, perfectly integrating into Kong Ming'an's own Soul Ring system.

After a long while, Kong Ming'an slowly opened his eyes. A flash of dark red light appeared in his eyes and then disappeared, before his eyes regained their clarity.

Unconsciously, five spirit rings rose one after another from beneath Kong Ming'an.

The first spirit ring was the silver spirit ring that transformed into the "Spirit Pivot".

The second spirit ring was a silver spirit ring that he modified into an information processor attached to the "Spirit Pivot," also flowing with data light.

The third and fourth spirit rings were two ordinary, unremarkable blood-red 100,000-year spirit rings.

The newly added fifth spirit ring is a divinely bestowed spirit ring with a dark red background that exudes an unsettling aura, and golden patterns wrapped around it.

Of course, Kong Ming'an prefers to call this fifth soul ring the "Asura God Ring".

Chapter 132 The Lesser Asura God, the Usurped Origin

Kong Ming'an raised his hand, and the dark red spirit ring with gold patterns slowly came into his palm, then gently pulsated casually and elegantly.

“So that’s how it is”

He looked at the spirit ring and murmured to himself, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't until the spirit ring became an integral part of his power, allowing him to clearly sense its essence, that he finally understood why he felt so strange.

From the very beginning of creating this divinely bestowed soul ring, Kong Ming'an sensed that the divine power emanating from the Asura God was of a much higher quality and level than the Sea God's divine power he had sensed from Wang Dong'er.

In fact, the quality is ridiculously high; it's like comparing heaven and earth.

He initially thought this might be due to the difference in the quality of divine power between a first-level god and a god-king, only the difference was somewhat significant.

However, only after personally fusing with this spirit ring did he clearly understand—

This is hardly the divine power of a Shura God!

This is clearly a portion of the core essence of the Asura God's power that Tang San of the God Realm forcibly separated from the Asura God's position!

Kong Ming'an gently stroked the slowly rotating dark red soul ring with his fingertips, feeling the essence of the energy contained within, which was completely different from any energy he had ever experienced before.

To understand what his current gains truly mean, we must first understand the difference between the origin of divine power and ordinary divine power.

If we compare a complete divine position to a country...

Therefore, the divine position is equivalent to supreme and complete rule and ownership over this country. Controlling the source is tantamount to being the king of this country, wielding all power.

Divine power, on the other hand, represents the people and resources of this nation, and is the concrete manifestation and executor of that power.

The first deity was the founding monarch of this country. He created the nation and possessed absolute power. All his subjects (divine power) were absolutely loyal to him and obeyed his every command without any thought of resistance.

The second generation and subsequent deities are equivalent to heirs to the throne. They need to pass a series of tests (completing divine trials and increasing their compatibility with the divine position) to prove their abilities.

Subsequently, only through the approval and succession ceremony of the first or previous deity can one successfully inherit the throne (the origin of the divine position) and become the new king.

Tang San's situation was essentially the first king abandoning his post and running away, without arranging any trials or succession ceremonies, and simply forcing the throne onto Tang San.

As a result, the people of this country simply did not accept him, this parachuted-in ruler who lacked legitimacy.

Not only did he disobey orders, but he also frequently rebelled (due to the backlash of divine power), causing Tang San's throne to become precarious and his power (control over the divine position) to be extremely unstable.

What Tang San is doing now is equivalent to an extremely crude form of feudalism.

He carved out a portion of the power (the essence of his divine position) that he found difficult to control and that often caused trouble, and bestowed it upon Tang San in the lower realm.

In this way, the targets of torment for those disobedient and unruly people will be directly transferred to Tang San in the lower realm.

With his own pressure greatly reduced, Tang San in the God Realm was able to free up his hands to wholeheartedly and slowly appease and control the remaining people.

When the time is right, he will gradually take back the powers that were granted out, eventually achieving complete control over the entire country.

According to the original trajectory of fate, Tang San should have chosen Xiao Wu, who was the scabbard of the Asura Divine Sword and whose life was intertwined with his, as the recipient of his destiny.

While bestowing titles, he continuously used the Sea God's position, which was under his control, to restrain the Asura God's position, until he completely controlled the Asura God's position.

However, now, due to Kong Ming'an's appearance, Tang San's choice in the God Realm has changed, and it has been decided that Tang San in the Lower Realm will be the recipient of this title.

Kongming An seemed to be deep in thought.

Frankly speaking, from Tang San's perspective, the idea itself isn't inherently flawed; the approach is feasible, and it could be considered a good plan.

However, who could have imagined that the appointment letter for the Asura God's divine position, which had been bestowed upon him, would be intercepted by this bandit before it even reached Tang San in the lower realm?

Now, it's not Tang San from the lower realm who received the appointment letter and took office, but rather Kong Ming'an who obtained this mission letter and directly took office in Goose City.

Furthermore, given that Tang San in the God Realm is currently completely unaware of the situation, as he completes more trials for the Sea God in the lower realm, appointment letters will likely continue to arrive, giving him even more opportunities to devour the source.

Kong Ming'an lowered his eyes, gazing intently at the "Asura God Ring" on his fingertip.

In theory, he is now considered one of the holders of the Asura God's position.

Is it a tiny version of the Asura God?

The portion of origin he currently possesses likely accounts for only 0.001% or even less of the complete origin of the Asura God's divine position.

However, in any case, this truly originates directly from the most core and fundamental power of the God-King's divine position.

And, most importantly,

The normal succession of a divine position is like the imperial succession of a jade seal; the successor only has the right to use and manage it.

Kong Ming'an's method was to directly devour and digest this "fragment of the imperial seal," completely incorporating it into his own soul ring system, making it an inseparable part of his own power.

In short, he has already declared himself king and is preparing to rebel, while Tang San, the god of the divine realm who is the king, is completely unaware of this.

Given time, he only needs to continue to master all the origins of the Asura God's position through this method.

No, he doesn't need to control everything. He only needs to surpass Tang San's current share, and then the entire Asura God's position will be completely under his control.

As long as he controls enough divine origins, he can bypass the divine test and Tang San's own will to directly control the Asura God's position!

"This is truly an unexpected and huge gain," Kong Ming'an couldn't help but chuckle.

Originally, I only intended to use the Sea God's test to take action against the Sea God's position, but now I have the possibility of controlling the Asura God's position.

It's so unpredictable.

Having confirmed that the absorption of the divinely bestowed soul ring was successful, Kong Ming'an did not rush to further investigate the power belonging to the God-King level. Instead, he calmed his mind and focused his attention on the divine soul origin within the Asura God Ring.

This is an ability he naturally acquired after completely bringing the source of the Asura God's divine position under his control.

He was able to use the source of the Asura God's position that he possessed to sense the existence of other holders of the Asura God's position's source.

Furthermore, because its origin lies in the Asura God, a god-king level deity, this perception can ignore obstacles and distance.

Of course, it's highly unlikely that Tang San in the God Realm possesses this ability. After all, if Tang San in the God Realm had this ability, he should be able to see through the trickery, and it would be impossible for him to send the source to Tang San.

With this in mind, Kong Ming'an no longer hesitated, and his consciousness slowly sank into the origin.

Chapter 133 First Encounter with Tang San of the God Realm and the First Generation Asura God

As his consciousness sank into his origin, Kong Ming'an first sensed Tang San from the lower realm, who was still lying dead in a hospital bed in Shrek Medical Zone.

The faint wisp of his inner essence was like a firefly in the darkness to Kong Ming'an—extremely small, even less than the essence contained within his Asura God Ring, yet clearly visible.

Furthermore, Kong Ming'an could even sense that this faint source was gradually transforming Tang San's body in the lower realm.

This is somewhat similar to how some animals build a comfortable nest for themselves; similarly, the faint source of energy within Tang San is instinctively and slowly transforming him.

After glancing at it briefly, Kong Ming'an withdrew his gaze, then used his source to send a wisp of his consciousness to a more distant place.

His perception, guided by the connection between their origins, rapidly ascended, easily piercing the barrier of the Douluo Continent.

His consciousness then entered a world with a far greater aura and a significantly higher energy level.

Spirit world!

Kong Ming'an quickly realized where his consciousness was at that moment. Countless magnificent scenes flashed before his eyes. His consciousness traversed the divine realm at lightning speed, and at a certain moment, it landed in front of a dressing table.

Here, Kong Ming'an "saw" a woman of stunning beauty, yet with an unyielding sorrow in her eyes, sighing softly in front of a mirror.

Is this Xiao Wu?

Based on her clothing and the information he already knew, Kong Ming'an quickly identified Xiao Wu. At the same time, he also clearly sensed the Asura God's divine origin contained within Xiao Wu's body.

Moreover, within Xiao Wu's body, Kong Ming'an also sensed another extremely profound and sharp entity, imbued with an immense aura of slaughter.

That is the Asura Divine Sword.

A super artifact.

Kong Ming'an's gaze lingered briefly on the invisible sword shadow within Xiao Wu's body.

The construction principles, energy core, and creation methods of the ultimate artifact—all of these held unparalleled appeal for him.

However, with his current weak source power, rashly probing into this supreme artifact forged by the first Asura God might trigger some kind of alarm.

Suppressing the urge to conduct research, Kong Ming'an controlled his senses to continue moving.

Soon, in a secret room filled with a repressive and chilling aura of killing intent, he "saw" the blue-haired man whose body was surrounded by a mixture of blue divine power and dark red killing intent, his face contorted in a grimace as he struggled to suppress his icy killing intent.

Tang San from the God Realm.

Kong Ming'an silently observed his unsuspecting opponent gradually using the power of the Sea God's position to suppress the backlash from the Asura God's position, and made a judgment in his mind.

At this moment, Tang San could only mobilize about 30% of the Asura God's divine essence. Of the remaining 70%, 10% was in Xiao Wu's body, who was serving as the sword sheath, and the remaining 60% was out of control.

If it weren't for the Sea God's divine position suppressing the negative effects and occasionally having Xiao Wu take the brunt of the backlash, Tang San would likely have died long ago.

I really don't know what the first Asura God was thinking when he handed over his godhood to Tang San and just wanted to run away.

After observing for a while, Kong Ming'an had a pretty good grasp of Tang San's situation. He was about to withdraw his consciousness and return to the Douluo Continent when he seemed to sense something.

He seemed to sense a fifth holder of the Asura God's divine position origin, besides himself, Tang San in the lower realm, Tang San in the divine realm, and Xiao Wu.

Are there any experts?

A hint of surprise rose in Kong Ming'an's heart, but he subconsciously followed the faint yet real connection to the origin and cast his gaze toward the unknown holder of the origin.

With this "look," Kong Ming'an felt his consciousness traversing countless planes and galaxies across the universe at an extremely fast speed.

Countless bizarre yet blurry images flashed through Kong Ming'an's vision, making even time and space seem to blur.
