Rainbow Battle God

Hu Haoran and the other two stared intently at the speaking goddess statue, unable to stop themselves from growing tense. In this unfamiliar environment, even the energy radiating from the statue was beyond their ability to withstand head-on. The unknown was the root of their anxiety and fear.

As if noticing their tension, the goddess statue slowly transformed back into human form. A fresh and ethereal woman of peerless beauty appeared before the three of them. Even Leng Xuewu's looks paled in comparison to the human form the statue had taken. After transforming, the goddess statue said, "Don't be nervous. I am the Rainbow Battle God from the God Realm. I will not harm you. All of you are candidates for my godhood."

"The God Realm? Rainbow Battle God? Godhood? Are there really gods in this world?" Jiang Jiayao asked with a baffled expression.

"There are no gods in this world. Gods generally live in the God Realm. As for my godhood, it is the Rainbow Battle God. Godhood is the source of a god's power," the Rainbow Battle God explained slowly.

"Since you said gods generally live in the God Realm, why are you here?" Leng Xuewu immediately caught the key issue.

"That begins with the war in the God Realm." The Rainbow Battle God spoke with a nostalgic expression. "Before the God Realm war, there were three factions: the True Gods, the Negative Gods, and the Beast Gods. The three factions coexisted peacefully and jointly protected the interests of the God Realm. At the time, godhood was the sole standard for ascending to godhood and entering the God Realm. The True Gods were responsible for maintaining peace in the God Realm, led by the Goddess of Kindness and the Goddess of Life. The Negative Gods were responsible for maintaining order in the lower realms, led by the God of Evil and the God of Destruction. As for the Beast Gods, they governed all beasts. Their leaders were the Supreme Dragon God, the Monkey King, and the Great Bright Peacock Emperor."

"Since they each governed different domains, why did a war suddenly break out? Could it be that someone coveted supreme authority over the God Realm?" Hu Haoran asked.

"It was not about coveting authority over the God Realm. They fought over the God Realm's development." The Rainbow Battle God let out a deep sigh. "The Negative Gods advocated expanding the God Realm and vigorously recruiting talents into it, greatly increasing the God Realm's strength. The True Gods wanted to remain conservative. If the God Realm developed too quickly, its divine power would diminish, and the gods' strength would weaken accordingly. The Beast Gods were also split into two factions. The Dragon God and the Monkey King supported expansion, while the Great Bright Peacock Emperor wished to remain conservative. The two sides argued for thousands of years. In the end, the God of Destruction acted rashly and joined forces with the Monkey King to launch this God Realm war, which has lasted over ten thousand years. I do not even know whether it has ended. I was grievously wounded in that war and perished. Now, I exist only in a soul state, and I am extremely weak."

"The God Realm is far too distant from us, and the God Realm war is even more beyond our reach. A war that can make even gods fall... we would only be cannon fodder. No, we would not even qualify as cannon fodder!" Jiang Jiayao said.

"You're right. We truly cannot help with the God Realm war in any way." Leng Xuewu nodded, agreeing with Jiang Jiayao.

"If you could help, would you be willing to aid the True Gods?" the Rainbow Battle God asked.

"Both sides have their reasons for the God Realm's development. If I had the ability, I would not help either side. I would only want to end the war. War brings nothing but destruction!" Hu Haoran answered firmly.

The Rainbow Battle God nodded. "To be honest, you are the one I most wanted to give my godhood to. Unfortunately, you are a man. My godhood is only suitable for women."

After the Rainbow Battle God spoke, Hu Haoran and Jiang Jiayao looked toward Leng Xuewu together.

"Are you willing to accept my godhood?" the Rainbow Battle God asked Leng Xuewu.

"If possessing your godhood requires me to help the True Gods, then I would choose to refuse. I will only act according to my own heart. I greatly agree with what my son said," Leng Xuewu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Whether you help the True Gods no longer matters to me. I have already given my life for them. I only hope that the inheritor of my divine seat will not use this power to harm others." The Rainbow Battle God no longer cared about that. She only wanted a good person to inherit her divine seat.

"Then I agree to inherit your godhood." Leng Xuewu smiled. Although she appeared calm, she was immensely excited deep down. To her, godhood meant entering the God Realm and pursuing a higher path of the sword.

"My godhood was created by the seven elemental gods of the God Realm. They used my abilities specifically against the Sin Gods created by the seven gods of original sin, so my powers are diametrically opposed to the Sin Gods among the Negative Gods. The seven elemental gods are all peak first-class gods, so the Rainbow Battle God's godhood has the potential to advance into a first-class godhood. However, due to my innate talent, I am only a peak second-class godhood, just one step away from becoming a first-class godhood." The Rainbow Battle God introduced her godhood. "During the God Realm war, I killed the Sin God, but his godhood escaped. Therefore, you may encounter the Sin God's inheritor in the future. Whether you regard them with gratitude or resentment will be for you to judge."

Leng Xuewu nodded. She had confidence in herself. If the Sin God's inheritor dared provoke her, she would destroy even their godhood.

"Then accept my godhood now!" After the Rainbow Battle God spoke, her entire body erupted with intense seven-colored light.

Leng Xuewu closed her eyes and felt the power pouring into her body with all her heart. Bathed in the seven-colored radiance, a mark of the Rainbow Divine Sword slowly appeared on her forehead, while the cold aura around her deepened greatly.

The seven guard statues surrounding the Rainbow Battle God's statue in the great hall also flashed with divine light. The energy pouring forth from them all entered Leng Xuewu's body, while the Rainbow Battle God's figure became increasingly transparent.

Hu Haoran and Jiang Jiayao stared at everything before them in shock. They were witnessing the birth of a god.

"You need not be so shocked. The God Realm war caused many gods to fall. You will encounter godhood that belongs to you. From what I have seen, your talents are no worse than my inheritor's. They may even be better." The Rainbow Battle God's phantom said to Hu Haoran and Jiang Jiayao, "Leng Xuewu has now entered the godhood inheritance ritual. She still needs to form her divine core and further fuse with divine power before she can ultimately reach level one hundred and ascend to godhood. This will take some time, so I will send you out of the Canglan Mountain Range now!"

With a wave of the Rainbow Battle God's hand, Hu Haoran and Jiang Jiayao arrived at the outskirts of the Canglan Mountain Range. They looked at each other, both astonished by a god's power. Even though the Rainbow Battle God had long since fallen, her strength was still beyond anything they could imagine.

"Uh... congratulations to your mother on becoming an inheritor of godhood," Jiang Jiayao said, breaking the silence.

"Congratulations, my ass! Congratulate me when I become a god. Still, today's information was seriously overwhelming. I'm still completely dazed," Hu Haoran said.

"Mm-hmm! We absolutely cannot mention what happened today to anyone. It is far too shocking. No one would believe it even if we told them, and it would be bad if someone with ulterior motives took advantage of it!" Jiang Jiayao reminded Hu Haoran.

"I'll listen to you on that. But we gained quite a lot!" Hu Haoran said with a smile. Just then, the Douluo System had distributed all the rewards for the Mystery of the Rainbow Bridge, leaving him somewhat excited.

"Hehe... following you this time, little brother, I really got a lot of benefits!" Jiang Jiayao wholeheartedly agreed. "Let's get out of here now! It has been so long since we had a peaceful night's sleep. This time, we need to enjoy it properly."
