Binding the Divine Realm, Sharing Injury and Death

[Ding! God-Level Choice System activated. Host: Chu Xuan!]

[Beginner mission issued. Please make a choice, host!]

[One: Bind Tang San and obtain the Mysterious Heaven Skill.]

[Two: Bind Qian Daoliu and obtain the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.]

[Three: Bind the Divine Realm and obtain the title "Divine Realm Living Ancestor"!]

Inside Spirit City, a golden box appeared before Chu Xuan's eyes.

Chu Xuan was still a little bewildered as he looked at the box.

One second, he had been holed up in bed watching short dramas; the next, he had transmigrated to the world of the Douluo Continent.

And he even had a cheat?

As a veteran bookworm, he understood the situation easily enough.

He had transmigrated, and to the fantasy genre's sewer, the world of the Douluo Continent, at that.

His cheat had arrived just in time: a God-Level Choice System, a trope as old as the hills.

It was just that the third choice left him somewhat at a loss.

"System, explain the third choice."

The first two choices were easy enough to understand.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill was the cultivation technique of Tang San, the protagonist of the Douluo World. It was a great help in increasing Soul Power.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was one of the god-level Martial Souls.

After binding him, Chu Xuan would very likely obtain heaven-defying talent, and his Innate Soul Power might reach level twenty outright.

But he couldn't make sense of the third choice.

It seemed to offer no other benefits, just a title.

But his years of reading experience told him that this might be the most exciting choice of all.

[Divine Realm Living Ancestor title effects: shared injury and death, Sky Screen Communication.]

[After obtaining this title, when the host is injured, the gods of the Divine Realm will be injured as well. When the host dies, the gods of the Divine Realm will fall as well, body and soul obliterated.]

[The gods included encompass divine officers, Third-Class Deities, Second-Level Deities, First-Level Gods, and so on.]

[All living beings of the Divine Realm are within the scope of the binding. Even if they leave the Divine Realm, the effect will remain.]

The system's explanation made Chu Xuan's eyes light up.

He hadn't expected the title to have such a heaven-defying effect.

Although he received no immediate benefit, the hidden benefits in the long run were the richest of all.

The title's Sky Screen Communication meant that he could communicate with the gods of the Divine Realm once a year, in the form of a sky screen.

Although communicating once a year was rather infrequent, to the Divine Realm, that meant communicating once a day.

Chu Xuan looked carefully over the three choices and grinned, showing a full set of pearly whites.

"It's time to give this sewer of a world a little shock."

"Choice three!"

[Ding! Host's choice complete. Title "Divine Realm Living Ancestor" obtained. Title effects take effect immediately.]

After the notification, the golden box vanished.

He looked up and saw a glittering golden title above his head.

Divine Realm Living Ancestor!

He looked at the passersby, but none of them noticed anything unusual about him.

In other words, he was the only one who could see the title.

"That's fine too. Otherwise, it would be pretty embarrassing to have a title like that hanging over my head."

"Now that I've got the title, it's time to put on a show."

"You brats in the Divine Realm, let's see who's whose daddy!"

Title effect: Sky Screen Communication!

He currently had one communication available and could speak directly with the gods of the Divine Realm.

"System, activate Sky Screen Communication."

As soon as he spoke, the world spun around him, and his consciousness entered a strange space.

In the Douluo God Realm, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth in the azure sky, illuminating the entire Divine Realm.

The golden light spread into a vast sky screen, boundless as far as the eye could see.

At the God Realm Committee, the Godess of Kindness, the God of Evil, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, and the Asura God were discussing the development of the Divine Realm.

All of a sudden, golden light surged, and an oppressive might filled the sky, piercing heaven and earth.

"What's going on?"

The Asura God frowned and looked up at the heavens.

An irresistible will seemed to lie within that golden light.

Even he, a God King, felt his heart pound with alarm at the sight of it.

Even his godhood was pulsing rapidly.

The God of Destruction looked up and snorted. "Which god is breaking the rules and using divine skills recklessly?"

The Godess of Kindness shook her head. "No, this power is already far beyond us. It cannot be profaned or defied."

The God of Evil and the Goddess of Life remained silent, watching the golden screen of light.

The Five Great God Kings were unable to see through the light screen's origins.

Every living being in the Divine Realm could see the strange sight of the light screen clearly.

No matter where they were or what they were doing, they could feel that majestic heavenly might.

They had only to look up to see the endless screen of light, which covered nearly the entire sky of the Divine Realm.

Even the deities inside cultivation chambers could see it.

The gods were astonished, and streams of divine sense crossed the void of the Divine Realm as they discussed the light screen that had appeared without warning.

But not a single deity knew where it had come from.

"Let's wait and see!"

The Asura God tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

With the Five Great God Kings all present, they were confident they could withstand any calamity.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure suddenly appeared in the light screen.

"A child?"

The Asura God's frown deepened when he saw the figure.

It seemed to be a human child, perhaps in his teens.

The gods looked at one another, baffled.

Chu Xuan could now see every corner of the Divine Realm through the sky screen.

His perspective was peculiar: he looked down from on high, with everything laid bare before him.

He could see every deity clearly, even the ants crawling on the ground.

So he noticed the gods looking up at him.

There was curiosity, fear, bewilderment, helplessness...

Now that the sky screen was connected to the Divine Realm, it was time for his performance to begin.

"Ahem~ hello, little brothers and sisters of the Divine Realm. My name is Chu Xuan, and I'm from Douluo Star."

"You can call me by my name, but I'd prefer you call me Living Ancestor. Living Daddy would work too."

"Don't get angry yet. It's a strange story."

"I discovered that the Divine Realm and I share a common fate."

"Simply put, if I'm injured, you'll be injured too. If I die, you'll die too."

"It sounds unbelievable, but it's the truth. You'll have to accept it, or you can put it to the test."

Chu Xuan spoke with a beaming smile.

His aim was to tell the gods the truth outright.

Only if all the gods believed him could he maximize his benefits.

As for retaliation?

He wasn't worried in the slightest.

Gods were just somewhat more powerful beings. How could they not fear death?

As long as he died, every living being in the Divine Realm would be finished along with him.

Body and soul obliterated!

With an ironclad condition like that, God King or not, they would all have to kneel and sing "Conquest."

The title's effect was his greatest source of confidence.

At that moment, the gods of the Divine Realm listened to Chu Xuan, but none of them took him seriously.

Some were expressionless, their hearts as still as ancient wells.

Others took it as a joke.

Believe Chu Xuan?

Impossible!

They were gods who had lived for countless ages, and they had never seen anything so bizarre.

How could the life and death of a mere mortal from Douluo Star be bound to those of the gods?

What an enormous joke!

Inside the God Realm Committee, the God of Evil gave a few cold laughs.

"Investigate him. For making fools of the gods, he must die!"

As soon as he spoke, Chu Xuan raised his hand in the sky screen.

"I know you don't believe me, so now it's time to witness a miracle. Brace yourselves; feeling dizzy and dumbfounded is perfectly normal."
