Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 339: The God Ring

"Come to think of it, Huo Yuhao was actually the first to successfully inherit a god position, wasn't she?" Du Qianjue suddenly laughed. He, Xue Linglong, Biji, and Huo Yuhao —all had the lineage of a god position, and ironically, the wildly ungoverned Huo Yuhao was the first to succeed? That's quite dramatic.

Oh, and there's Ilaix too, though he's still fiddling with the Angel God's position. Du Qianjue doesn't know his progress because Ilaix is also in seclusion, and it's not appropriate to disturb him. But it probably won't be long, after all, it's the great mage Ilaix we're talking about.

"I can't be left behind!" Du Qianjue, who had figured out how to condense the God Ring, closed his eyes again. How should dual god positions be carried? What should carry them? Soul spirits! The body carries life, the dragon spirit carries destruction, each of their nine soul rings rhythmically pulsing like breaths, their divine cores gradually changing into purple and green colors, rotating slowly like a yin-yang fish.

Centered on Du Qianjue, a yin-yang fish like those in the divine cores appeared at his feet, with his two soul spirits floating on either side of his body. Through the shadows of the soul spirits, a dazzling green/purple light spot could be seen at the center of each spirit.

At the same time, the marks of the destruction staff and the ancient tree of life from Du Qianjue's forehead flew out and turned into a beam of light that entered the Chaos Dragon King spirit and his original body spirit.

"God Ring—Concentrate!"

With a loud shout from Du Qianjue, the light spots in the soul spirits suddenly shattered, a great amount of light swirling around the spirits, gradually forming two rings. On his original body spirit, a dark green soul ring carrying the pattern of leaves and brimming with the essence of life settled in the tenth ring position. On the Chaos Dragon King spirit, a dark purple soul ring wrapped in purple lightning settled in the tenth position.

The moment the two God Rings were successfully condensed, Du Qianjue's power surged again, reaching the first-level God in mind, power, and body. The somewhat dimmed divine test marks, after the successful condensation of the tenth God Ring, flew out from the rings and landed back on Du Qianjue's forehead.

Hmm… It seems the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life really invested quite a bit in him, not only giving Du Qianjue a shortcut but also secretly providing some assistance. Otherwise, how could the mere divine test marks assist in condensing the God Ring?

"Thank you, predecessors!" Du Qianjue touched the marks on his forehead and chuckled lightly. The marks briefly illuminated, and the voice of the God of Destruction came through.

"You're welcome, kid! But you'd better speed up, Tang San is already becoming restless!"

"If you're too slow, you might not get the chance to deal with Tang San personally, haha…"

As the marks dimmed down, they conveyed a crucial message to Du Qianjue—that the situation in the Divine Realm was gradually breaking down. Tang San might soon become desperate.

Indeed. His plans on Douluo Continent were thoroughly ruined by me, and almost all his vile schemes are known to the God of Destruction; it's no wonder he's frantic.

But it doesn't matter. There's still enough time for me!

[Life's Ninth Test, Seventh Challenge: Condense the Tenth God Ring—Completed, Reward: 15% Life Affinity] [Destruction's Ninth Test, Seventh Challenge: Condense the Tenth God Ring—Completed, Reward: 15% Destruction Affinity] [Life/Destruction's Eighth Challenge: Unify Douluo Continent, Reward: Life/Destruction Affinity]

The eighth challenge is to unify Douluo Continent?

Du Qianjue thoughtfully stroked his chin. Honestly, he didn't quite understand the purpose of this challenge. Unifying the continent's main benefit might just be to collect faith power, but frankly, faith power wasn't that important to him.

And the best way to collect faith power isn't unifying the land; it's more like what Tang San did, constantly creating conflicts and panic, then showing up like a charlatan from time to time to display his divine might and fool the fools of Douluo Continent. Unification without conflict doesn't really help gather faith power. If everyone is peaceful, who would need your divine intervention?

It's very realistic.

"Stop overthinking; it's not about gathering faith power, that's actually a burden for true powerhouses. Unifying the continent is just to accelerate the development of this realm," the God of Destruction's voice echoed faintly.

Even without knowing exactly what Du Qianjue was thinking, just by observing his changing expressions and contemplative look upon receiving the divine test, the God of Destruction could guess his thoughts. With Tang San's example before them, their divine test indeed might lead others astray.

With this explanation from the God of Destruction, Du Qianjue realized that the biggest benefit of unifying the continent was to focus on development without internal strife, rather than persisting in their separate ways like the Spirit Continent focusing solely on soul masters and the Sun-Moon Empire on soul devices.

Just play on your own; as a result, aside from faster cultivation on the Spirit side and more powerful soul devices on the Sun-Moon side, there's not much progress.

This called progress? Nonsense!

"I understand now, and I will complete the test as quickly as possible!" Du Qianjue nodded earnestly.

Originally, he had no interest in unifying the continent—with that time, he might as well travel with Xue Linglong, cook some meals, and enjoy a shameless, cozy life.

Unify? Whoever loves unification should go unify.

But since the predecessor who inherited his god position is a veritable workaholic, he had no choice but to put in extra effort.

Sigh—

Du Qianjue flashed out of the secret room and appeared in front of the idling Du Busi, startling him so much that he spit out his tea onto Jin Peng's face.

"Ouch, what are you doing! Why do you always appear out of nowhere!" Du Busi wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth and glared at Du Qianjue irritably.

"Uncle Ancestor, on behalf of the Original Body Sect, notify all major forces across the continent, I have an announcement to make!" (End of chapter)
