Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, their shock beyond words.

Though they occasionally mocked Dugu Bo's strength, he was still the pinnacle of poison users in the Douluo Continent.

Qian Renxin was merely a Soul Elder without a single soul ring.

For him to withstand the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's Poison head-on was simply too outrageous...

Was this the true value of a Divine Inheritor...

Dugu Bo, who was still locked in fierce battle, noticed this scene and no longer had the heart to keep fighting Ling Yuan.

He could accept a Titled Douluo of the same rank dispersing his poisonous mist.

After all, on the Douluo Continent, poison was inherently an unorthodox path, highly disadvantageous in direct combat.

But for a Soul Elder to neutralize his poison...

Under normal circumstances, he would have considered it nothing more than a ridiculous fantasy.

Yet it was happening right before his eyes...

"You... how did you remove this old man's poison?"

He pointed at Qian Renxin as he asked.

Ling Yuan, who had been fighting fiercely, also stopped attacking and did not take advantage of the opening.

After all, what she wanted was a true contest.

If they truly wanted to win, the three Titled Douluo could easily pin Dugu Bo to the ground and beat him.

"This is the Power of a Deity."

Qian Renxin did not put on airs and told him everything plainly.

If the God of Good had not bestowed upon him the Power of Origin, he could not have accomplished this with his martial soul alone at present.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's Poison's reputation for killing everyone below Titled Douluo was no exaggeration.

"A deity?"

Dugu Bo's expression was complicated.

As a Titled Douluo, he naturally knew of the existence beyond Titled Douluo.

But no one had ascended for nearly ten thousand years. The existence of the God Realm had practically become legend.

Could the one standing before him be a Divine Inheritor?

"Young Master..."

Yue Guan stepped forward and reminded him cautiously.

Divine Inheritance was still a secret to the outside world. Only figures at the elder level and above knew of it.

Though Spirit Hall was the strongest force on the continent, without question,

that did not mean Qian Renxin faced no threats.

Those drawn by the secret of deities were likely at least Titled Douluo-level experts. There might even be old monsters who had emerged from seclusion.

"It's fine."

Qian Renxin spoke calmly.

Dugu Bo could not be called a good man, but from his many actions, it was clear that he was absolutely not a petty person.

That was precisely why Qian Renxin had thoughts of recruiting him.

After all, loyalty was the most important quality in a subordinate, while ability came second. Otherwise, one would merely be raising a tiger to invite disaster.

Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo were exactly like that.

Their character was trustworthy, and their abilities were also quite outstanding.

Ling Yuan had little presence in the original work, but she seemed acceptable so far and was very obedient.

Her only flaw was her impatient temperament. She was always eager to earn merit, but that was not much of a problem. Besides, she was a beautiful mature woman, and keeping her nearby was pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Yue Guan's obstruction,

Dugu Bo snorted coldly and said,

"How could I, Dugu Bo, be some two-faced petty person? Since you are willing to trust me, little friend, then even if I die, I will not reveal a single word of this secret."

Seeing this, Yue Guan smiled with narrowed eyes and stepped back.

He had deliberately provoked Dugu Bo into saying that.

As an enemy and acquaintance of many years, Dugu Bo's strength was average, but his trustworthiness was quite reliable.

After saying that,

he paused briefly before continuing to ask,

"May I ask, little friend, do deities truly exist in this world? Can deities truly live forever?"

This was the question in the hearts of nearly all top experts. They were already Dragons Among Men in the Soul Master World, so why had they never received a deity's favor?

"Yes, but obtaining Divine Inheritance is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

Qian Renxin nodded. "As for deities living forever, who in this world can truly remain eternal? So-called Eternal Life is merely a specific number. From this perspective, a deity's lifespan is indeed astonishing. Even ten thousand years cannot affect them in the slightest."

"That is enough. This old man merely wanted an answer. I do not hope to become a god."

Dugu Bo spoke freely.

He had long been plagued by poison.

Unless he completely resolved the poison issue, he might remain stuck at rank ninety-one for the rest of his life.

He had long since let go of his desire for greater cultivation. The only thing he could not stop worrying about was his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. He wanted to quickly solve the short lifespan problem of Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison soul masters.

"Little friend, continue. What business did you come to discuss with me?"

Dugu Bo stepped down from the serpent's head, dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar, and approached to ask.

He was not afraid that Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo would ambush him.

Having fought in the Soul Master World for many years, he had his own trump cards.

If he paid the price of burning his life force,

he could use his skull bone's evolved ability—Medusa's Despair.

At such close range, even Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo likely would not be able to escape. At worst, they could all perish together in Mutual Destruction.

But if that happened,

Dugu Yan would be left alone in this world. He truly did not wish to be so extreme.

"Helping you resolve your poison problem is the condition I am offering."

Qian Renxin spoke calmly.

Dugu Bo froze for a moment before asking in disbelief,

"Little friend, do not joke with this old man. You have a way to cure my poison?"

"This is different from the poison I released earlier. My Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's Poison has already seeped deep into my organs. Even I do not know how to dispel it..."

"You old poison master, you really know how to flatter yourself."

Yue Guan said impatiently, "The Young Master is a Divine Inheritor. How dare you compare yourself to him?"

Dugu Bo was stunned, but he did not argue.

After all, Qian Renxin was likely the only person on the continent to possess a deity. There truly was no one who could compare, nor could anyone compare.

Qian Renxin said no more.

Instead, he gathered the Power of Goodness in his palm.

"Your main problem is that you have accumulated too much poison. I can completely purify it for you, but your poisonous arts will likely be crippled in the process."

"No, no."

Dugu Bo considered it and immediately refused.

He had cultivated his poisonous arts for his entire life. He truly did not want to abandon them just like that.

Qian Renxin wore an expression as if he had expected this and continued,

"There is another solution. Find a place in your body that can store the poison. That way, the poison will not harm your body, and you can still use it."

"A place to store poison? How did I not think of that?"

Dugu Bo was overjoyed, as though he had suddenly attained enlightenment. "That's right. Venomous snakes are not harmed by poison because they have poison sacs to store it, preventing it from damaging their bodies..."

But his expression then became thoughtful again.

"But where could I store the poison... Could it be a soul bone?"

"A soul bone can indeed store poison, but that would only delay the problem."

Qian Renxin said slowly, "Soul bones have limits, and once a soul bone shatters, the concentrated poison stored inside will instantly kill you."

Initial Attempt at Condensing a Soul Core

Qian Renxin's words made Dugu Bo's hairs stand on end.

That was indeed true. Storing poison inside a soul bone was simply too terrifying.

Originally, he could still live for a few more years without dealing with the poison. But if he stored it in a soul bone, he might suddenly die at any moment.

His expression became even more respectful as he bent forward with a smile and asked, "Little friend, do not merely frighten this old man. You look so confident, so you must have already thought of a perfect solution, haven't you..."

Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo behind him nearly burst out laughing.

This old poison master had an extremely strange temperament, neither wholly righteous nor wholly evil. Unless someone had shown him kindness, he would never lower his head so easily.

Who would have thought that six-year-old Qian Renxin would tame him so thoroughly?

Qian Renxin paused briefly without speaking directly.

The quick-witted Yue Guan immediately understood and stepped forward with his orchid finger raised.

"Old poison master, the Young Master said this was a business deal. Since you want the answer to your poison problem, shouldn't you pay some price?"

Dugu Bo was first stunned, then nodded solemnly. "For once, you Chrysanthemum Guan have said something human. Go ahead. No matter the condition, I will agree to it."

He was not lying.

Even if Qian Renxin asked him to pledge loyalty to Spirit Hall right now, he would make that choice without hesitation.

If it concerned only himself, preserving his good reputation throughout his life was already quite precious.

But he had no choice.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison did not merely concern his own life, but also the life of his only relative, his granddaughter.

This was his reverse scale. For her sake, he would be willing to endure even the scorn of others.

"All I need is for you to give me the treasured land in Sunset Forest. Then I can help you resolve this trouble."

Qian Renxin calmly stated the price.

As for subduing Dugu Bo, there was no need to rush.

A Titled Douluo was simply not worth mentioning compared to the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Of course, he would never raise a tiger to invite disaster.

Given Dugu Bo's personality,

even if Heaven Dou ordered him to oppose Spirit Hall, he would remember the favor of having his life saved and refuse.

After all, he was merely a Guest Elder and had no obligation to take action.

As for the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxin did not take it seriously at all.

Once he possessed sufficient strength, the two great empires would not even have the will to resist. He could likely make them submit without deploying a single soldier, and by then, taking Dugu Bo under his command would happen naturally.

Upon hearing Qian Renxin's words,
