Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil Chapter 24

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had barely landed before a group of soul masters retreated again and again.

This was an inn built along the main route through the Star Dou Great Forest, frequently visited by soul masters traveling in and out.

The passing soul masters discussed it in amazement.

"Th-That... is that a soul beast?"

"Judging by its size and aura, it's probably at least a ten-thousand-year soul beast!"

"Ten-thousand-year soul beasts already possess rudimentary intelligence. It actually submitted to a human? Didn't they say soul beasts never yield?"

"What kind of force could subdue a ten-thousand-year soul beast? Could it be one of the Upper Three Sects?"

"Idiot, didn't you see that those people could fly without wings? They're obviously Title Douluo. What force besides—"

"Spirit... Spirit Hall?"

"Let's go. We shouldn't watch the show anymore. Title Douluo aren't people we can casually stare at..."

The moment they heard the name Spirit Hall,

the formerly bustling inn immediately became deserted.

In truth, Spirit Hall's reputation was not yet especially vicious.

But strength itself was the foundation of fear. When facing a powerful enemy one could not possibly compare to, a normal person's first choice was to flee.

Those who did not know their own limits could not survive in the Soul Master World unless they had a protagonist's plot armor.

Qian Renxin did not care in the slightest. He settled the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger beside the inn and instructed, "Xiao An, stay outside for now. Don't attack anyone unless they provoke you first."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger nodded.

Qian Renxin then led the others into the inn.

The inn's decor was fairly decent, after all, it had been built specifically to serve soul masters.

The innkeeper hurried forward.

He nervously swallowed and asked eagerly, "My lord, what do you require?"

Qian Renxin took out a bag of Gold Soul Coins from his spatial Soul Tool without counting them. "I'm reserving this entire inn for now. Prepare your best rooms and food for me."

The innkeeper accepted the Gold Soul Coins and professionally estimated that there were at least nearly a thousand inside.

He immediately beamed like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Of course, my lord. Please head upstairs and rest first. I'll arrange for the kitchen to prepare the finest dishes for you at once."

"Don't forget to feed some fresh meat to my tiger. It's rather picky."

Qian Renxin gave the order casually.

"Yes, yes."

The innkeeper hurriedly agreed.

A thousand Gold Soul Coins—what was a little fresh meat? Even if he had to feed it dozens of cattle and sheep, he would still make a handsome profit.

When they arrived at the refined private room upstairs,

the servers soon brought dish after dish to the table.

Qian Renxin swept his gaze over them. They were far inferior to the restaurants in Spirit City, but in this backwater, they could barely be considered acceptable.

Xiao Wu curiously picked up a piece of sweet-and-sour spare rib, her ears twitching excitedly.

She had already taken human form, so naturally she could eat meat.

"Mom, hurry and try it."

Xiao Wu's Mother did not know whether to feel happy or sad. Finding joy amid hardship, she also picked up a piece.

Human food really was delicious. She had learned that long ago when she had ventured through human society.

After the meal,

everyone returned to their respective rooms.

Xiao Wu's Mother sought out Qian Renxin alone. She let out a heavy breath and asked, "Now that we've escaped the Star Dou Great Forest, Da Ming and Er Ming won't be chasing us. You don't need to worry that I'm stalling for time."

"You should tell me now, shouldn't you? How can you guarantee Xiao Wu's safety, so that I can willingly sacrifice myself to you?"

She was confident.

Though she was still at a disadvantage, Qian Renxin needed her to sacrifice herself willingly, which meant she still had room to negotiate.

Xiao Wu's life could force her to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, but it could not force her to sacrifice herself.

Without a complete guarantee of Xiao Wu's safety, she would never sacrifice herself. Since death was inevitable either way, she would not let a human soul master reap the benefits for nothing.

"Aren't you curious why Xiao An follows me?"

Rather than answering directly, Qian Renxin smiled and asked in return.

Xiao Wu's Mother did not answer.

In truth, she was indeed curious. Soul beasts had always been proud, especially a top-tier soul beast like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was utterly arrogant.

Why had it chosen Qian Renxin as its master?

Seeing Xiao Wu's Mother clearly curious yet too proud to ask,

Qian Renxin laughed and answered on his own.

"Because I can help it become a deity and enjoy eternal life."

"A deity? You?"

Xiao Wu's Mother gave a faint laugh, finding it impossible.

Soul beasts could only become deities by cultivating for a million years or rebuilding themselves as humans. This was practically common knowledge.

Qian Renxin understood that words alone could not explain it.

So he simply released his Deity Assessment and, at the same time, circulated the Power of Origin of the two God Kings within his body.

Xiao Wu's Mother Is Shocked, Named Rou Tu

"A legendary Divine Inheritance?"

Xiao Wu's Mother stared at the aura of the deity with her pink eyes, utterly shocked.

She had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Even though no Deity Inheritor had appeared on this continent for ten thousand years, she could still recognize at a glance that the inheritance before her came from a deity.

Qian Renxin nodded.

"That's right. My inheritance comes from two God Kings of the God Realm, and I am gradually completing their divine tasks to inherit their god positions."

"God Kings?"

Xiao Wu's Mother asked.

To the mortal world, everything in the God Realm was unknown. Even Qian Daoliu, the High Priest, did not know of the God Kings' existence, much less a Soft Bone Rabbit that was only a little over one hundred thousand years old.

"God Kings are the rulers of the God Realm. There are five God Kings in total, and the deities from whom I inherited are two of the most exalted among them: the God of Goodness and the God of Evil."

Qian Renxin explained.

Rulers of the God Realm? And he possessed the inheritances of two God Kings at once?

Xiao Wu's Mother suddenly felt bitter.

For even the slightest chance to become deities, soul beasts did not hesitate to abandon all their cultivation and become human.

Yet this young man had obtained not one, but two Divine Inheritances at such a young age!

Was heaven truly so unfair to soul beasts...?

But she quickly composed herself and asked in a low voice,

"The opportunity for soul beasts to become deities that you mentioned—does it mean that after you become a so-called God King, you'll change the rules preventing soul beasts from becoming deities?"

"Mm... I haven't considered that for now, but that isn't my current plan."

Qian Renxin continued, "When you sacrifice yourself to me, I'll try to preserve your consciousness within my spiritual sea, allowing you to temporarily become a Wisdom Spirit Ring. Once the time is right in the future, you'll become something similar to a soul spirit and regain your own freedom."

"What is a soul spirit?"

Xiao Wu's Mother lowered her proud head and pressed urgently.

She had now realized that the secret Qian Renxin spoke of was not simple. It might even concern the fate of all soul beasts.

"Mm... simply put, soul spirits are soul beasts that can retain their consciousness while fusing with human soul masters. They can preserve a certain degree of their abilities and thoughts, coexisting with the soul master."

Qian Renxin said calmly, "If certain conditions are met, some soul spirits can even achieve eternal life through this method."

"And after you sacrifice yourself to me, you'll retain your intelligence. Naturally, you'll be able to watch Xiao Wu grow up, which can also be considered a safeguard."

Xiao Wu's Mother was deeply shaken.

As a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, she had never even heard of such a thing.

As for the method of achieving eternal life, she was no fool.

Since soul spirits became one with human soul masters, then as long as the human soul master successfully ascended to the God Realm, wouldn't the soul beast gain eternal life as well?

But she quickly understood the danger of this choice.

If the human soul master failed to inherit a deity's position, the soul spirit attached to them would vanish along with the human soul master's death.

It could be said that this was a gamble.

And Qian Renxin, who possessed the inheritances of two deities, was practically a guaranteed choice!

As long as she could accompany him properly until he became a deity, she could use this shortcut to obtain eternal life as well!

Thinking of this,

she even became a little excited.

After her attempt to rebuild herself as a human had failed, she had already lost hope. Returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, she had only wanted to accompany Xiao Wu through her final one or two hundred years.

After all, once she had taken human form, her lifespan had naturally become that of a human.

Yet Qian Renxin's appearance

had instead given her new hope.

She then complained sincerely,

"If you had told me this earlier, I wouldn't have resisted so fiercely. Why make such a huge fuss? Most Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would probably agree to this kind of cooperation."

"Based on your understanding of human soul masters, you would probably have attacked before I even finished explaining,"

Qian Renxin said with a faint smile. "Besides, since I could settle things with my fists, why would I bother with some tedious cooperation with you? Right now, you are merely my slave. Helping Xiao Wu live a normal soul master's life is compensation on my part."

"S-Slave..."

Xiao Wu's Mother's expression turned ugly.

As a soul beast, she truly did not wish to acknowledge a human youth as her master.

Qian Renxin saw her reluctance.

He casually slapped her peach-like, upturned buttocks, sending waves of flesh rippling through them, then chuckled teasingly.

"It seems you haven't recognized your position. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger chose to cooperate with me willingly, while you were captured by me. Taking care of Xiao Wu is merely a condition to reassure you enough to sacrifice yourself. Your position is nothing more than that of a slave soul beast."

Xiao Wu's Mother looked at the handsome youth before her.

Feeling the force still lingering on her buttocks, her face reddened. Beyond her embarrassment, she felt even more humiliation and anger.

Qian Renxin was quite strong. He had barely held back with that slap, and it had nearly left a red mark.

Yet she did not dare resist.

Xiao Wu was in his hands. He had indeed seized her weak point.

Seeing her reaction,

Qian Renxin was quite satisfied.

He had gone to great lengths to capture her,
