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

The God King's Shock, Refining the Power of Origin

Qian Renxin steadied his mind and arrived beside the cold pool and fiery spring.

This area was more suitable for cultivating the Ice Fire Physique.

He placed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot on the ground at the same time, then immediately retreated far away.

Almost instantly,

an overwhelmingly powerful chill and heat wave burst forth from the two Immortal Herbs. Thick frost formed on one side, while flames swept through the other, scorching the surrounding flowers and grass dry.

Yet Qian Renxin, standing where the two forces met, felt neither cold nor heat.

After colliding with their respective nemeses,

a faint red glow shrouded the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, while a pale white mist enveloped the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Much of the ice and fire energy dissipated at once.

Qian Renxin silently counted the time in his heart.

Now was not the time to consume these two highly poisonous Immortal Herbs. He had to wait until their ice and fire energies neutralized each other before taking them.

But he could not wait too long either. After ten breaths, both would completely lose their medicinal effects.

Therefore,

around seven breaths was the best time to consume them.

After silently counting to the exact moment,

Qian Renxin did not hesitate in the slightest and swallowed both deadly Immortal Herbs at once.

Having been weakened, the two herbs shed their ice and fire properties, leaving only their medicinal effects behind.

They tasted quite good when chewed, even somewhat sweet and fragrant, like some kind of expensive fruit.

After swallowing them,

in just a few breaths,

an icy blue light burst from within his body, and even his eyelashes were coated with a thin layer of frost.

Then a crimson glow rose up, and smoke curled around his entire body.

Qian Renxin let out a muffled groan.

The feeling of these two overwhelmingly powerful forces of extreme yin and extreme yang "competing" within his body was truly unbearable.

But he had prepared for this long ago.

The God-Demon Martial Soul operated at the same time. The Power of Good Origin and Power of Evil Origin contained within it also emerged, suppressing and refining the extreme yin and extreme yang forces within his body.

At the same time, in the God Realm,

the God of Good and the God of Evil sat before a crystal stone. The scene condensed upon it was precisely Qian Renxin refining the Ice Fire Physique.

"Why is this child taking poison for no reason?"

The God of Good sat on a stone stool, propping up her chin with a hand, her face full of confusion. "These two poisons are top-grade even in the mortal world. If he really eats them, won't we be attending his funeral? Should we save him when the time comes?"

"I don't know, but I think he has his own plans. He doesn't seem like a reckless person."

The God of Evil spoke from the side. "Let's wait and see. If things truly go wrong, we can bring him into the God Realm in the name of an assessment and help him remove the poison."

Faced with the two lords' unusual favoritism toward Qian Renxin,

Asura felt slightly awkward.

After all, he was one of the three great enforcers. Wasn't it somewhat impolite to discuss such matters right in front of him...

But when he saw Qian Renxin simultaneously absorbing the cold poison and fire poison,

he seemed to realize something. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke.

"My lords, in one of the minor worlds under my management, there are cases of using these two poisons to temper the body. Once successful, one can attain an Ice Fire Physique. It greatly improves a mortal's constitution and also grants immunity to ice and fire."

The God of Good nodded in understanding.

"So that's how it is. Tempering the body with poison... tsk, tsk. It's both thrilling and bold. Mortals really are interesting. I want to go down and have some fun as soon as possible."

"No rush. Once we pass our god positions to this child, we'll be free as well."

The God of Evil spoke with the same longing.

However,

Qian Renxin made another move. He fused the Power of Good Origin and Power of Evil Origin into the fire poison and cold poison, refining them together instead.

The three God Kings in the God Realm all stared blankly.

According to what Asura had said, Qian Renxin only needed to rely on his physique and quietly wait for the medicinal effects to pass before obtaining the Ice Fire Physique.

Then why did he insist on mobilizing the powers of good and evil to fuse with the cold poison and fire poison? Wasn't that simply adding unnecessary complications?

Qian Renxin had no idea that he was being "live-streamed" to the God Realm.

The two God Kings had not stored much Power of Origin within his body, as his current self could not bear too much.

The fire poison gathered with the Goodness Origin, while the cold poison gathered with the Evil Origin.

They once again formed a situation of equal strength, utterly incompatible with one another.

Qian Renxin steadied his mind and did not dare relax for even a moment. Beads of sweat seeped across his forehead.

He had already completed most of the preparations.

Next, he only needed to quietly wait until the two forces reached a balance, then he could refine them together.

In the God Realm,

the God of Evil and the God of Good also noticed some clues and understood that Qian Renxin intended to refine their Power of Origin.

The God of Good furrowed her delicate brows, pursed her lips, and spoke worriedly.

"This child... good and evil do share similarities with cold poison and fire poison, but how can he take such a risk? If he fails to control the forces, it could cause a major disaster..."

"He only needs to spend a few more years to completely refine our Power of Origin and finish the assessment. Why must he do this?"

"The strong must be greedy. If he succeeds, he won't merely possess our Power of Origin. It will even be mixed with ice and fire power, making it a force he created himself."

The God of Evil was not worried in the slightest. Instead, his eyes burned with excitement.

"Completing a Deity Assessment without entirely following the usual steps—having such courage at this age is exactly what I want in an inheritor!"

Seeing how pleased he was,

the God of Good curled her lips and dampened his mood. "Don't forget, if he completes the first assessment now, how are we supposed to issue the second? Ordinary assessments are simply not something he can complete at his current level, are they?"

Hearing this,

the God of Evil's smile vanished, replaced by a troubled expression.

The first assessment they had painstakingly arranged was meant to delay time.

After all, even if Qian Renxin possessed extraordinary talent, it would still take at least several years for him to initially grasp their Power of Origin.

By then, he might have become a Spirit King or even a Spirit Emperor.

The range of assessments they could issue would be much broader.

Who would have thought that Qian Renxin would take another path, using fire poison and ice poison to provoke the conflict between the powers of evil and good, weakening both forces considerably and making them far easier to refine.

If he truly completed the first assessment, they would have to worry over the content of the second assessment again...

It could neither be too difficult for Qian Renxin nor too easy. It was truly troublesome.

Shura God paid no attention to the two lords' troubled expressions.

After all, it had nothing to do with him.

He merely looked at Qian Renxin with some regret.

He also wanted to find an inheritor and then explore the myriad worlds of the universe.

Now, it seemed that

Qian Renxin's talent was not merely astonishing; his temperament and character were equally outstanding. He was absolutely a top-tier inheritor.

Unfortunately, the God of Good and the God of Evil had already gotten there first.

Could he perhaps inherit the god positions of all three God Kings?

Shura God pondered in secret.

But he quickly rejected the idea.

Dual god positions were likely already the limit for mortals.

Three god positions... could a mortal truly bear them?

But was Qian Renxin truly an ordinary person?

He shook his head, casting away the unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

No matter what, the current Qian Renxin could not bear three god positions. Even if he were to inherit them, that would have to be discussed later.

The Second Assessment of Good and Evil, Dugu Yan Appears

Once the two forces settled down,

Qian Renxin simultaneously activated the God-Demon Martial Soul to absorb the two Powers of Origin.

At this point, the Powers of Origin had neutralized each other considerably. Their powerful essence remained, but refining them had become more than a hundred times easier.

Very quickly,

he initially mastered the two Powers of Origin and stored them within the two sides of his God-Demon Martial Soul.

He slowly stood and stretched his body.

The fire poison and ice poison had transformed his body tremendously. His body suddenly felt much lighter, and his strength had increased considerably.

Perhaps because his physical constitution had improved, his Soul Power capacity had also increased greatly, reducing the bloated feeling of overfilled Soul Power.

At this moment,

two golden screens appeared before him.

Goodness Assessment One completed: Initially master the Power of Good Origin

Evil Assessment One completed: Initially master the Power of Evil Origin

"I've completed the first assessment."

Qian Renxin was not surprised as he tapped the light screen.

Reward: One God-bestowed Spirit Ring with the goodness attribute

Reward: One God-bestowed Spirit Ring with the evil attribute

"Two God-bestowed Spirit Rings matching my attributes... Hmm... this reward is reasonable enough."

Qian Renxin was not particularly surprised.

After all, God-bestowed Spirit Rings were common rewards.

Generally, the rewards for the first few God Trials involved increasing Spirit Ring age limits, God-bestowed Spirit Rings, and similar things.

Only in the later assessments would the rewards become far more generous.

By the standards of God Kings, there would likely be at least super divine artifacts as rewards.

Suddenly,

a red-and-white Spirit Ring and a purple-black Spirit Ring flew from the light screen. Brilliant patterns covered their surfaces as they shot straight toward Qian Renxin.

These were precisely God-bestowed Spirit Rings.

As the Power of a Deity, the power of these Spirit Rings could reach the maximum age limit that the inheritor could withstand. The more willing one was to take risks, and the more power one possessed, the age limit obtained could almost increase without limit.

This arrangement could be considered highly reasonable. For the God Realm, this little bit of power was easily affordable.

Even a million-year spirit beast Spirit Ring was not as strong as even a third-class god in the God Realm. The difference in power between the two realms was enormous.
