Crimson and Pink's Conversation
"Tsk! If it weren't for the fact that I can't advance to God King by devouring the Dao, I would have devoured the entire Douluo Plane long ago."
Crimson cursed and swore, "This Yu Xiaogang who's scanning QR codes, he claims the Shrek Seven Devils became gods because of him! You bastard, tell me how they became gods! Damn it!"
Yu Xiaogang knew nothing about becoming a god, since Gangzi stayed in the Douluo Continent and never went to Sea God Island. Any boasting about his achievements was just filler, like this novel by the same author!
Author, oh author, how could you be so sloppy? You can't keep going like this! If you keep slopping, let Gu Yue, Na'er, Xu Xiaoyan, Yuanen Yehui Ye Xinglan, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Meng Hongchen, and Wu Siduo whip you and punish you!
Ahem, let's get back to the main topic.
The Mother of Crimson cannot advance to the God King through devouring. In the Douluo IV worldview, there are cosmic laws. If one tries to break through to the God King level by devouring other planes, one will be hindered by these laws.
There's also the Mother of Crimson, Quasi-God King without a divine position, whose combat power is roughly equivalent to that of First-Level God in the Divine Realm who has a divine position.
If the Abyssal Sage King were to leave the Abyss Plane, his combat power would only be comparable to Second-Level God with a divine position in the Divine Realm. That's all part of the Douluo IV setting, and it's also why the Mother of Crimson infiltrated the Douluo Plane to find a way to become God King.
To her utter surprise, the Shrek Academy information she accessed via the QR code contained absolutely no record of becoming a god.
If Shrek Academy had a way to become a god, then only Spirit Ice Douluo would have ascended to godhood in the past ten thousand years.
There are two ways to become a god: the first is to inherit a divine position, and the second is to collect faith and become a god.
The first type is that the Little Scumbag blocked the Douluo Continent. Apart from Rong Nianbing, who took his place, no Deity discovered the geniuses here. It can be said that he cut off everyone's path to godhood.
The second possibility is that Tang San's own Sea God Godhood was formed through faith. If someone wanted to become a god through faith, it would mean that the power of faith would be taken away, Tang San would naturally not agree to.
Therefore, he kept both methods of becoming a god very well hidden, and no one in the Shrek Academy knew about them. In Douluo II, this even led to the absurd legend that one could become a god by eating Immortal Herbs.
In this era, unlike in the original story, Yun Ming does not hold Demigod and does not know how to become a god.
The method to become a god is in the hands of the high-ranking Soul Beasts. Currently, the high-ranking Soul Beasts who know the method to become a god are Di Tian, Lao Xie, Lao Huang, Lao Xue, Lao Bing, Lao Bi, and Lao Shu.
Only the Xiao Family and the successive heads of the Hongchen Family knew about this secret, and they guarded it closely, never revealing it.
Unfortunately, no one has become a god. Perhaps it's because after successfully catching the Little Scumbag rascal, the Destruction God King began expanding the Divine Realm, causing it to experience spacetime turbulence, which is why no one has become a god.
After all, the Divine Realm have ascended to the heavens, so how could they possibly ascend? Unfortunately, they were born in this tragic era, and despite their talents, they were unable to become gods.
Of course, no one has succeeded in the second path to godhood—the path of gathering faith.
First, the Spirit Transferring Douluo is an insurmountable mountain for everyone. He establishes a heart for heaven and earth, establishes a destiny for the people, continues the lost learning of the past sages, and opens up peace for all generations.
Only through sacrifice can one achieve great ambitions and dare to change the Sun Moon! Heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river, yet they only meet the threshold of his achievements; no one can surpass his accomplishments.
Secondly, he liberated the people of the Douluo Continent, trampled all empires under his feet, and brought all the corrupt nobles to their deaths with his sword.
Every inch of land is stained with blood; worldly dreams drift away with the water; how many moments of leisure have passed in this fleeting life? Immortality is not what I seek; to live a life of inaction would bring shame and disgrace as the world crumbles and chaos reigns. Once destiny is gone, one strives for freedom; eagles soar through the Chang Kong, whales dominate the seas; how can one distinguish dragon from earthworm without trying? How can ordinary mortals know me? I will not rest until I reach the end of my road!
They also dreamed of becoming gods through faith, but unfortunately, this was a path they could only look up to; even with all their might, they could only see his footprints.
He had no intention of blocking everyone's path to godhood; he simply wanted to follow his heart and make the world the way he wanted it to be.
The title of Spirit Transferring Douluo has only been used by three people in the past ten thousand years. The first was the creator of the Spirit Pagoda, the second was Fengxiao Douluo, and the third was the Son of Spirit Transferring.
After that, no one in the world dared to bear this title. The cause and effect were too heavy, and it represented too much. No one dared to desecrate it.
To obtain a large amount of faith power, you need to do something of great contribution. However, since the Spirit Transferring, the continent has been at peace, and there are very few ways to obtain faith power.
On the human side, only Ya Li currently possesses some power of faith; she is at the peak of Demigod and will soon be able to step into the realm of Quasi-God.
However, this is the limit, still due to lifespan limitations. If Ya Li were given a thousand years... no! Five hundred years, she might truly be able to condense a divine position and become a god.
Lifespan remains the greatest challenge, unless you can gain the faith of all living beings in the world.
Now, since Crimson couldn't find a way to become God King at the Shrek Academy, she could only contact her other half, and soon Pink on the other side answered the call.
"What happened? Has something happened?"
The Pink on the other side sent the first question, while the Crimson person sat upright in their chair and asked a question in return.
"I've infiltrated Shrek Academy, but I haven't found any clues about breaking through to the God King realm. How's it going on your end?"
Upon hearing the question, Pink was immediately jolted, her mind going blank for a moment. She began to recall what she had been doing for the past two weeks: eating, drinking, having fun, and recruiting followers... She suddenly felt guilty.
"I... I've also made some gains."
Tell me about it.
Crimson became somewhat interested and immediately raised an eyebrow to ask, only to see the person opposite her say somewhat guiltily:
"The Chicken Fork Bones was delicious, the iced tea was great, the games were fun, and the storybooks were interesting."
Upon hearing this information, Crimson felt her vision go black and veins bulged on her forehead. Sensing her emotions, Pink quickly changed her tune.
"Wait! Don't get excited! I've got something else on my end!"
"If you don't give me anything useful, you have no reason to exist!"
Crimson's face was extremely gloomy. If this half-body had no value at all, then there was no point in keeping it alive. He might as well just devour it. However, the other side quickly revealed the news.
"I have subdued the Plane's Child of the Douluo Plane, the auspicious Auspicious Beast of destiny, and the Demon Plane Seed!"
Upon hearing this news, Crimson paused, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected that this half-body would be so useful.
And Pink continued to explain that the Plane Master not only provided her with food and clothing but also housekeeping; the Demon Plane Seed would serve her; and the auspicious Auspicious Beast of destiny from the Douluo Plane would let her pet it at will. What else could this be but submission?
Pink proudly displayed its achievements, and only then did Crimson feel satisfied with the other's harvest.
"Well done. It seems you're still useful. You can continue to stay at the Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy to gather information."
"I understand. By the way, main body, how about we try to merge with this plane? I encountered a Dragon Clan, and her essence is around the level of Second-Level God."
"Besides, I feel this world is pretty good. Why don't we cooperate with them? Maybe we can get the chance to become the God King?"
However, at this moment, Pink suddenly brought up the matter of cooperation, which was to merge the three planes of Crimson, Abyss, and Douluo Plane into one.
In this way, the Douluo Plane will not be destroyed. The planes that Crimson devoured in the past were all devoured by consuming their life force, causing all living beings to die, and then turning the entire plane into nourishment.
This method of devouring is extremely cruel. Pink couldn't bear to see such a fun dimension destroyed and devoured, so she tried to dissuade them.
"Dragon Clan? Are there even more powerful Dragon Clan behind that Black Dragon?"
Crimson raised an eyebrow, immediately becoming wary upon hearing about the unfamiliar and powerful Dragon Clan Deity.
"Probably. Judging from that Silver Dragon's actions, she seems to want to steal the Plane's Child me."
"Interesting, but cooperation is impossible. I've already devoured a quarter of the Life Origin of the Douluo Plane, which is an irreconcilable enmity for the Douluo Plane and cannot be resolved."
Crimson pondered for a moment, but he hadn't even considered the idea of cooperation. After all, he had already taken a huge bite out of the Douluo Plane, so how could the other side possibly cooperate with him? They'd be lucky if they didn't kill him.
"Okay... then... can I bring a few friends I know to join the Crimson Plane later?"
"Sure, as long as it works."
She naturally agreed to the inclusion of the Plane's Child, the Demon Plane Seed, and the auspicious Auspicious Beast destiny into the Crimson Plane.
Luck, something so mysterious and elusive, is naturally something you want the more of, and there's also the energy of an entire plane of existence—only a fool would refuse that.
It's a deal!
After receiving affirmation, Pink was overjoyed. She planned to bring all her friends to the Crimson Plane and then, like in a fairy tale, have Little Pink. How wonderful!
While reading the storybook, she became curious about the happy parts. And coincidentally, our Crimson Sword Master, Chen Jianshu, was a typical male, so she could experiment with whether or not it was happy.
Crimson, unaware of the gravity of the situation, immediately hung up the call. The instant the call ended, a dark red figure appeared, kneeling respectfully before her and saying:
"Mother."
"Hmm, what does that Sea God want with you?"
Crimson looked down at the Abyssal Sage King and asked him questions about the Sea God Crimson. She had many doubts.
Firstly, that Sea God seems to be the Asura God, meaning a Douluo being simultaneously inherited two divine positions? How is that possible?
This was also one of the things she was most curious about when she came to the Shrek Academy: how did Tang San, the Sea God Asura God, assume two godhoods? This touched on a blind spot in her knowledge.
Secondly... she remembered that the Sea God Asura God were orthodox Deities of the Divine Realm, so why were they involved in devouring the Life Origin of the Douluo Plane?
The orthodox Deity of the Divine Realm would not do such a thing; it is strictly forbidden. When she first met the other party, Crimson thought that the other party, like herself, also coveted the Douluo Plane.
The results were shocking: a legitimate Deity from the Divine Realm was actually devouring the Life Origin of the Douluo Plane! If I hadn't intervened and swallowed it, the other party would have succeeded.
So she was curious about the situation of the Sea God opposite her. Was he really Dual Godhood? If so, it would be very troublesome. Just as Crimson was pondering, the Abyssal Sage King respectfully reported the situation.
"Mother, that Sea God intends to cooperate with us, and even said that after the matter is accomplished, once the Divine Realm returns, we will become the legitimate Deities of the Divine Realm."
Hearing her subordinate's report, Crimson scoffed, "Don't try to make your Sister Crimson laugh. Do you think I'll believe this childish trick?" Waiting for the return of the Divine Realm? Waiting for the return of the Divine Realm will be the end of her life.
"Also, that Sea God seems to care a lot about his son. The fact that so Demigods have gathered around is all for the purpose of rescuing his son from the Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy."
"Oh? The son of the Sea God?"
Upon hearing this news, the Mother of Crimson became interested, but remained skeptical. The son of the Sea God? Did the Sea God care so much about his son?
She expressed doubt about this, saying it was very likely fake, or perhaps information deliberately leaked by the other party; it was definitely a trap. And then there was the claim that the Sea God's son was at that Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy...
Could it be... that the Sea God is deliberately trying to incite us to attack the Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy? What is his purpose? Just as Crimson was pondering this, a flash of wisdom appeared in her eyes.
In that instant, she seemed to realize something, and immediately revealed a confident look as if she had everything under control, and sneered:
"I see, I see! Heh, Sea God, you really are quite the schemer."
Having figured everything out, she sneered repeatedly, as if she saw through everything, while the Abyssal Sage King looked puzzled and asked curiously.
"Please explain, Mother, I do not understand."
Seeing his mother appear omniscient and omnipotent, while he himself knew nothing, he felt extremely uncomfortable, scratching his head and cheeks as if insects were crawling all over his body. However, soon, Crimson began to speak softly:
"Little Abyss, that Sea God is just reaping the benefits without lifting a finger. The Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy is that Black Dragon's territory. If we go there, we'll end up facing that Black Dragon."
Hearing his subordinate's explanation, the Abyssal Sage King thought of the Black Dragon that had broken into the Abyss and forcefully abducted an Abyss Emperor. The Black Dragon's strength was not very strong, and he could defeat it completely. He immediately asked for more information.
"Mother, that Black Dragon's strength, even after burning its life force, is at most at the Super-God-Level. It's no match for us at all. What does this mean?"
"Hehe, that's true. But just now, I received a message from my other half that the Black Dragon has a Silver Dragon superior who is at least at the Super-God-Level."
"The Sea God is deliberately leading us to confront the Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy, definitely wanting you to face that Silver Dragon so he can reap the benefits. What a clever scheme!"
In that instant, the Mother of Crimson felt as if she were a Deity who controlled all wisdom, easily seeing through the Sea God's scheme. The Abyssal Sage King felt his scalp tingle and couldn't help but gasp.
"Mother, did you foresee this by sending half of yourself to the Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy? As expected of Mother! You saw through the Sea God's treacherous scheme in an instant!"
The Abyssal Sage King deeply admired his mother. No wonder she sent half of herself to the Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy; she had foreseen this. Mother, just how far could your eyes see?
