Everyone Can Become a God!

Three months later, hundreds of thousands of people stood densely packed on the vast, empty island.

Directly in front of them, Su Cheng stood alone opposite everyone, his aura vast and condensed like a mountain, with nine Soul Ring floating and flashing beneath his feet.

Bibi Dong watched this scene silently from a distance.

The island he is currently on is not far from the core base of the Bright Cult members' activities.

These people in front of you are now the core members of the Bright Cult.

They are called the core not because of their strength, but because their souls shine brightly, their beliefs are pure, and their will is unwavering.

However, only tens of thousands of them possessed Soul Power. And this was only after several years of his help, combined with the few thousand people who already existed.

Whether they possess Soul Power or not is not important, since the vast majority of them were just ordinary people before, and even if they become Soul Master now, they don't have much combat power.

"I once said that the children of the sea are free. Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams."

A clear voice, amplified by Soul Power, resounded throughout the entire island, echoing clearly in everyone's ears.

"But ask yourselves honestly, are you truly free?"

Su Cheng gazed at the crowd before him.

No, you are not free.

"You have to work hard to make a living and rack your brains to save your lives."

"But most importantly, you have also bound yourselves with heavy shackles and chains!"

"Your minds have long been firmly imprisoned!"

He looked at the girl standing at the very front.

Her wheat-colored skin glowed with a healthy sheen in the sunlight, and her bright eyes sparkled.

"Mi Wei, you once said that after coming to the sea, your dream was to build your own fleet and go on adventures."

"What have you gained by believing in the Sea God?"

"You pray fervently every day, placing your hopes and future in Sea God who has never appeared and is elusive. Is this the adventure you crave? Is this what you pursue?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of confusion appeared in Mi Wei's eyes.

Su Cheng's words left her somewhat at a loss for words.

She never expected to hear these things today.

But those voices seemed to echo deep within her soul, making her unconsciously want to delve deeper into the meaning behind Su Cheng's words.

Besides her, other parts of the crowd also experienced considerable commotion.

Even the vast expanses of soul light in Su Cheng's field of vision began to flicker and tremble slightly.

Clearly, although the words were meant for Mi Wei, the underlying meaning and the questioning of the Sea God still left people feeling confused.

Su Cheng ignored the commotion.

With his presence concealing the situation, things won't get out of control.

"We once pursued equality."

"Being born as a human being is a right we should have."

"But unfortunately, there is no equality on the high seas."

Whether or not you possess Soul Power determines your future social class and destiny from birth.

"The innate Soul Power Level further divides Sea Spirit Master into different ranks."

"What talk of equality? It's utterly ridiculous!"

"This is nothing but a lie to deceive oneself!"

Su Cheng raised his arm again and pointed towards the direction of Sea God Island.

"Drifting on the sea, life and death are nothing more than common occurrences."

"Storms, tsunamis, and giant beasts are everywhere, constantly threatening the lives of all Sea People."

"That's why we join hands, unite and help each other, and resist all kinds of unknown dangers."

"And at this time, what were those high and mighty Sea God Warrior on Sea God Island doing?"

"They are protecting Sea God Island and are unwilling to leave that safe and comfortable island."

"But how much supplies does that small island have? And how much of its daily necessities are provided by us, the Sea People?"

Silence reigned over the island.

The earlier commotion gradually subsided as Su Cheng spoke.

"I previously taught you cultivation techniques to help you awaken your Soul Power; this was the will of Heaven, and has nothing to do with the gods," Su Cheng said frankly. "The Sea God? The Sea God cannot teach you those things, nor will he. Do you know why?"

"..." Everyone remained silent, their eyes filled Sisi confusion.

"When everyone becomes Soul Master, then Soul Master will no longer enjoy special privileges," Su Cheng declared loudly. "When everyone has the opportunity to become a god, then there will be no longer a distinction between humans and gods, so how can they still be high and mighty!"

His gaze was intense as he looked at these "ordinary people" who were of low aptitude but had unwavering will. "What I am teaching you is the path to godhood. As long as you walk step by step, Everyone Can Become a God!"

Su Cheng's last words were somewhat exaggerated, but they weren't exactly lies.

If you continue down this path, you truly have a chance to transcend.

However, that was not a "god" in the conventional sense of the Douluo Continent, but a different path.

Even Su Cheng himself is working towards this goal.

"But," he said after a moment of silence, "There's a prerequisite for achieving that: break the shackles on your minds! If your minds don't even fully belong to yourselves, what right do you have to ask for anything else?"

"..."

What should we do?

"Divine Envoy, please continue to teach us."

"..."

They did not doubt what Su Cheng said.

Not to mention the various transformations that learning the techniques has brought to me over the years.

They themselves had long regarded the Ming Cult Doctrine as their spiritual guide.

All the principles contained therein are integrated into one's mind and body.

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, they all felt a connection to Sea God Island.

Although extremely insignificant, it is absolutely true.

The gods on the Douluo Continent can indeed use the power of faith for their own purposes, and the Sea God is the most skilled in this regard.

In the original timeline, Tang San's resurrection was achieved with the help of the faith of a large number of the Sea God's people.

"I can't help you!" Su Cheng said resolutely.

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment and bewilderment immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

"Why?"

Are you abandoning us?

"..."

"To achieve this, you must rely on yourselves. Fight with your will, come with me, and push down Sea God Mountain! But I must tell you—"

Su Cheng looked at each of the people in front of him and said, "You will all die on this voyage!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Bright Cult members on the island all showed a hint of fear on their faces.

The teachings of the Bright Cult never instruct people to sacrifice their lives.

This is not the kind of brainwashing cult that makes people forget their troubles and lose their ambition. Its content teaches people to strive for self-improvement and work hard.

The Bright Cult never tells people that after death they will return to God's embrace and live a carefree life, in order to make them forget their fear of death.

For Su Cheng, achieving this was not actually difficult.

But if it were done that way, these people in front of him would be of no use to him.

Therefore, upon hearing Su Cheng's words, even those with strong wills could not help but waver.

Of all the hardships throughout history, death is the only one.

"Everyone will die! Are you scared?" Su Cheng looked at them with a cold gaze.

The vast majority of these Bright Cult members came from humble backgrounds, with over 90% being ordinary people without any Soul Power, who originally had no opportunity to cultivate.

In the past, their greatest dream was simply to find a place to settle down and live a peaceful life.

Perhaps many of them had conflicts with each other in order to reduce their time at sea and avoid crew duties.

"I'm scared too." Su Cheng suddenly smiled.

His gaze calmed, and he silently surveyed the people in front of him.

Their skin was mostly rough and dark, and their faces were covered with weathered scars.

Even though many of them have become esteemed Soul Master, they have not been able to erase the marks left by their struggles with life.

"No one is immortal, including you, including you, including you..."

Su Cheng pointed at it.

Some of them were already quite old, with streaks of white appearing between their temples.

Some of them were barely adults when they took on the heavy responsibility of supporting their families.

There are also some seemingly delicate young girls who have little time to dress up...

"... Of course, that includes me!" Su Cheng's voice suddenly became louder.

"Who can escape death? Even the highest gods are immortal! Even this world will one day vanish into thin air!"

"I cannot guarantee your safety, but I can promise that I will stand at the forefront and will not retreat a single step before I die!"

"So what? Tell me, what is your choice!"

"Should I continue living in a daze, or should I take this chance and be free from all constraints, letting all creatures roam freely under the frosty sky!"

His final, furious shout spread out, echoing in everyone's ears and resonating deep within their souls.

"Divine Envoy ..."

Eyes lit up, the light of their souls shining brightly, as dazzling as stars.

"Without the Divine Envoy, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm willing!"

"I'd love to!"

"This is a fight for ourselves!"

"..."

Seeing this, Su Cheng's expression turned solemn, and he nodded silently.

At that moment, the light of the soul filled his entire vision. He was deeply surprised by the unwavering will of some of them.

However, the reactions of these people were within his expectations.

He knew all along that some of these people would respond after he said those words, because the early core members had already gone through too many trials and tribulations.

Once someone responds, the resonance of souls strengthens the resolve of others.

However, Su Cheng wasn't sending them to their deaths.

First of all, to fight against a god, even just the shallow divine will of the Sea God Island, requires an extremely high level of willpower.

One must be firm enough, otherwise, if one's beliefs waver, there will be no opportunity to pull against them and form a confrontation.

Secondly, only when these people have made up their minds about their choices will they not hesitate when facing Bo Saixi later.

Bo Saixi wouldn't kill these people, and the people on Sea God Island wouldn't bother with such a thing.

Their very existence is already the greatest help to Su Cheng.

These people play a very simple yet crucial role.

They were originally part of the foundation of the Sea God's faith, but now, due to the backlash of their beliefs, they will completely undermine the foundation of the faith that exists on the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God Island.

However, while their backlash could damage the Seven Sacred Pillars, it could never have the slightest impact on the Sea God himself; the difference between them was simply too great.

These people also have intricate connections with the Sea God, and if the Sea God were to appear, none of them would survive.

But it is precisely because of this that Bo Saixi is hesitant to sacrifice himself to open the channel of inheritance and summon the Sea God.

If the Sea God himself were to attack from afar, Su Cheng would definitely not be able to withstand it.
