Divine Realm Enforcer—God of Slaughter Hypnos!

"What a pity."

Seeing the System's description of the Shadow God King bloodline, Zhou Chen inwardly lamented.

God Kings were peak existences in the Stellar Transformations World, second only to Sacred Emperors and Hongmeng Controllers. The Shadow God King, who had mastered the laws of Dark Energy, was undoubtedly one of the more powerful among them.

Dark Energy was Dark Matter, and Dark Matter accounted for 95% of the universe's mass—twenty times more than all other matter combined!

In other words, as long as one completely mastered the laws of Dark Energy, one could command energy far surpassing that of any opponent!

Not only that, the Shadow God King bloodline allowed its user to control the Shadow Realm, making them akin to an elusive void assassin.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen's bloodline power was simply too strong!

As the owner of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Spirit and the inheritor of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic and Xuanyuan Holy Sword, Zhou Chen's bloodline power far surpassed that of the Shadow bloodline!

Before the Xuanyuan bloodline, the Shadow bloodline was nothing more than a little brother.

And the stronger the bloodline, the more it rejected foreign bloodlines.

Therefore, even if Zhou Chen used the Shadow bloodline, it would immediately be rejected by his overwhelmingly powerful Xuanyuan bloodline. Fusion was simply impossible.

Since he could not use it himself, Zhu Zhuqing was the first person Zhou Chen thought of.

With her Netherworld Spirit Cat martial spirit, she was naturally attuned to the laws of shadow and was perfectly suited for it.

Of course, more importantly, Zhu Zhuqing was his woman. In this Douluo World, aside from Old Jack, she was the only person Zhou Chen could trust.

If he gave her the Shadow God King bloodline, Zhou Chen believed that no matter how powerful she became, she would remain a valuable helper and a source of combat power on his side.

But if he gave it to someone else, it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone for good.

Even seemingly utterly loyal subordinates like Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng, if they obtained the Shadow God King's bloodline, would surely soar to great heights. They could probably reach the rank of Titled Douluo within a few years, and becoming a god at level one hundred would be within easy reach.

By then, would they still remain loyal to Zhou Chen?

From the perspectives of sociology, psychology, and logic, the probability of them continuing to serve Zhou Chen was infinitely close to zero.

The more likely outcome was that they would turn on their former master.

This was what the ancients meant by: a small favor earns gratitude, but a great one earns resentment!

So it was not that Zhou Chen was selfish or heartless. It was simply that he could only give this God King bloodline to someone who shared his heart and slept in the same bed as him.

Thinking this, Zhou Chen, who believed himself to have planned for every possibility, relaxed and began the next round of lottery draws.

Lottery draws really were addictive.

"System, continue."

"Ding... Received. Processing."

"Ding... Ten thousand Gold Yuan Points deducted. One lottery draw."

In an instant, the colorful wheel in Zhou Chen's mind began spinning again...

"Ding... Cultivation technique reward obtained: Heavenly Nether Poison Classic. This technique originated from the Doupo World and was created by the Three-Star Dou Sheng, Heavenly Nether Poison Saint. The Heavenly Nether Poison Classic can control all poisons in the world, use poison power to nourish its user, and absorbing poisons can extend one's lifespan and improve one's cultivation."

"This technique's effects are pretty good."

After reading the introduction to the Heavenly Nether Poison Classic, Zhou Chen gave it a thumbs-up.

Unfortunately, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic he cultivated was simply too powerful. It could be cultivated directly to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm! Meanwhile, the Heavenly Nether Poison Saint, the creator of the Heavenly Nether Poison Classic, was only comparable to a Great Ascension cultivator and had not even become immortal.

In other words, Zhou Chen found the Heavenly Nether Poison Classic too weak.

Sighing, Zhou Chen could not help but complain, "Damn System, can't you give me something I can use?"

"Ding... Host, please remain calm. Lottery draws depend entirely on probability, and probability depends entirely on one's character."

"You mean my character is bad?"

Zhou Chen snapped.

"Ding... Whoever it applies to knows."

Having been exposed, Zhou Chen instantly flew into a rage from embarrassment. "Don't I still have over ten thousand Gold Yuan Points left? Draw again. I refuse to believe it."

"Ding... Received. Processing."

"Ding... Ten thousand Gold Yuan Points deducted. One lottery draw."

The colorful wheel continued spinning...

"Ding... Cultivation technique reward obtained: God of Slaughter Hypnos's Duty Report. This report originated from the Douluo God Realm and was written by God of Slaughter Hypnos. It details every God Realm Prison established on Douluo Star."

"God of Slaughter, Asura God King, Douluo Star, God Realm Prison..."

Zhou Chen instantly caught these four keywords with keen sensitivity.

Ordinary people might not know who God of Slaughter Hypnos was, but Zhou Chen, who had devoured countless webnovels, knew his identity very well.

Hypnos was the foremost enforcer under the Asura God King, one of the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm. He was also the strongest among the God Realm's hundreds of second-class deities, appearing in Tang San Shao's Bacchus.

Hypnos's duty was to eliminate and imprison all enemies of the God Realm, so he often traveled between the various worlds ruled by the God Realm. It was perfectly normal for him to come to Douluo Continent.

As for the System's mention of "Douluo Star," it was presumably because Hypnos had not only come to Douluo Continent, but had also visited the neighboring Sun Moon Continent, as well as several other continents on Douluo Star.

And his purpose in coming to Douluo Star was to establish prisons for detaining, imprisoning, and even executing the enemies of the God Realm.

"System, display that performance report!"

"Ding... Retrieving it now. Please wait."

"Ding... Retrieval complete. Displaying."

As the System's voice faded, a massive pale-gold screen appeared before Zhou Chen. Displayed upon it was a... virtual planet.

This should have been a 3D map of Douluo Star.
