Fermentation, the Storm Already Brewing
"You seem to be in a good mood?"
After another training session, Gu Yue looked at Han Li, who had a faint smile on his lips, and asked.
"It's very good, everything is getting better and better."
Han Li looked at the Jade Token in his hand, replied to a message, and then casually answered.
He maintains daily contact with others scattered throughout the mainland, and their progress in the God Exam is quite rapid. Even the master who was last to be tested has already begun the Sixth Trial today.
Qian Renxue, taking advantage of this opportunity, drew the Angel Holy Sword, completed her campaign against the dark side, finished her Seventh Trial, and planned to rest before directly attempting the Eighth Trial.
Perhaps, in six months, someone will become a god even faster than His Holiness the His Majesty the Pope.
Moreover, due to Gang Zi's "Improved Cultivation Method," thunderstorms have begun to occur in various parts of the mainland, but it is not yet possible to accurately pinpoint his location.
However, it's only a matter of time. Let the dust settle, and the public outcry will rise again, at which point no one will be able to suppress it.
With another large amount of Faith Power flowing in, how could he not be happy?
Of course, there's also the Amplification Array. Thanks to his and his Good Son's efforts, it has finally increased by another 1%, reaching 95%. Congratulations!
"At the current pace, how long do you think it will take for you to completely master the Creation Power?"
Han Li put away the Jade Token and looked at Gu Yue beside him.
"At the fastest, three months; at the slowest, six months."
Hearing his question, Gu Yue smiled faintly. This was something she had never dared to think of before. At the time, it was just a sudden inspiration that made her want to try it out, but she never expected such a pleasing result.
You must know that even among the gods, geniuses take ten or twenty years to fully master a law, let alone a supreme law like the Creation Power. Yet now, she has only been cultivating the Creation Power for less than a year. What incredible speed!
Thinking of this, her gaze towards Han Li softened considerably.
"Six months? That's just right."
Han Li naturally noticed her gaze, but did not respond.
He knew very well that Gu Yue's improvement speed was abnormal, and it wasn't just because of him as a cheat device. The power of creation was originally hidden in her Godhood Shard, so to call it cultivation was actually just activation.
The God Exam was truly thanks to him; they had a smooth and God Exam, I'm so envious.
"When the time comes, you'll be promoted along with me."
Han Li looked at Gu Yue and gave her the safest advice.
When he condensed his God Position, Gu Yue took the opportunity to merge the Creation Power into her original Godhood Shard, and advancing to the God King was not difficult for her.
When he advances to the next level, Douluo Star will be at its safest. He will break free from the shackles of the Divine Realm and temporarily escape their control.
Furthermore, his life is intertwined with that of Douluo Star. Even if Gu Yue is exposed, the Divine Realm will not act rashly. She is not as ruthless as the Golden Dragon King. Once the two of them advance, the situation will be beyond the Divine Realm's control.
The only problem is that after dealing with Bibi Dong, the question of who holds her Godhood Shard status is temporarily in his hands, and it's unknown whether the people in the Divine Realm can suppress Rakshasa.
Without Tang San paving the way, he became the first to try something new, which is the biggest destabilizing factor.
If that doesn't work, then temporarily abandon the Godhood Shard of Rakshasa. It's not a big deal. The primary issue is that the Divine Realm must not discover his problem before he fully becomes a god.
Of course, if he could, he wouldn't want to give up any opportunity to strengthen his foundation, after all, it was the Godhood Shard of a First Level God.
Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but chuckle. Apart from the unprecedented Fate Law, his path to godhood was entirely due to piecing things together from various sources, making him quite the master of mishmash.
Well, it doesn't really matter, as long as the equipment is strong enough.
Don't you see that Lord Grim Sanren from Glory's Tenth District has returned to his peak? Everyone switches servers and identities. He has also changed from a top-level corporate slave in his previous life to a top-level Soul Master in Douluo Server. There's no reason why he can't do it. Laugh.
"Uh-huh."
Gu Yue nodded rapidly, like a chick pecking at rice.
This was also her biggest worry all along. Advancing to God King was no small feat. Strictly speaking, it was the highest level of god, and it was impossible for the Divine Realm not to notice it.
Now, with Han Li's promise and cover, she felt much more at ease.
Since waking up, she herself has not noticed that she has developed a blind trust in Han Li, but this is also a characteristic of Douluo.
"I'm really looking forward to it! What will you do?"
Han Li's smile was quite wicked, yet it also contained a hint of anticipation.
Gu Yue shook her head and ignored him. After spending a lot of time with him, she got used to his erratic behavior and knew that he was thinking about something else, so she simply closed her eyes and went back to rest.
Six months was her bottom line. What she wanted was to do it faster. Every day, she was in perfect harmony with Han Li God Soul, and she could vaguely sense the impatience and unease that was being forcibly suppressed in his heart from his relaxed expression.
She wasn't one of those human female ornaments; even becoming a god required Han Li's help. Without realizing it, she had developed a sense of comparison she herself hadn't noticed. —"Your His Majesty the Pope, this is feedback from various regions."
Yue Guan nervously placed the messages from the various branches of the Spirit Hall in the form of dossiers in front of Bibi Dong.
Gui Mei was sent out by Bibi Dong to observe the situation firsthand. Facing His Majesty the Pope alone, he felt uneasy, the aura of danger intensified, and his body instinctively felt fear.
Bibi Dong was ashen; after a brief glance, she tossed it aside.
"Is it definitely a problem with the newly released Improved Cultivation Method?"
"That should be true. After receiving your orders, the people from the Martial Soul Research Institute tried it on death row inmates. After forcibly opening up a new route, only three out of ten survived, and two of them were completely crippled."
"Only that Soul Saint survived, but his meridians were severely damaged, which will keep him at his current level for life and will also affect his combat performance."
Yue Guan thought of the experimental data given to him by the Martial Soul Research Institute and answered honestly.
Yu Xiaogang is completely finished, he thought to himself.
He already looked down on that good-for-nothing, and this incident only reinforced that view. Unlike his plagiarism theory from twenty years ago, this time he has truly ruined many people.
Even if only some people survive, Yu Xiaogang's future fate is imaginable.
Of course, he didn't dare show it in front of Bibi Dong. He was a genuine insider of the incident back then, and His Majesty the Pope was in great danger now. He was really afraid that if he couldn't control himself, he would be killed on the spot.
If only he had known, he would have agreed to the Holy Son Your Highness back then. The people in the Worship Hall are all hiding now, which seems to be a better situation than his current one. Yue Guan regretted his decision.
Is someone causing trouble?
Bibi Dong's face was very ugly. She had clearly had someone test it before, and she herself had no problems circulating the technique. How could it have turned out like this?
"Yes, but before we could make a move, those who spontaneously supported the Mysterious Heaven Skill suppressed them. Out of caution, when the manual was circulated, the Spirit Hall in various regions stated that it was not an official release and they would not be responsible for any accidents."
As Yue Guan spoke, he carefully observed Bibi Dong's expression and tried his best to embellish his words.
Bibi Dong did not respond.
What "careful consideration"? It's clearly the fact that the forces belonging to the Worship Hall look down on this improved version and are spontaneously protecting Han Li's reputation. In the end, this has become an excuse for the Spirit Hall to stay out of the matter and direct all the bad reputation towards Xiao Gang.
"Damn Han Li, you're going to release it, but why did you have to tamper with the cultivation technique?" Bibi Dong cursed inwardly.
She was the only high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall who did not cultivate the original Mysterious Heaven Skill, after all, she had already reached the level of Peerless Douluo.
The weakened version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill that Han Li publicly released was not much stronger than the Meditation Technique she practiced. As for the original version, how could she possibly swear to the other party that she did not oppose Hu Liena and others practicing it, but she would never practice it herself?
If Han Li knew what she was thinking, he would probably give her a huge slap on the wrist. She modified the cultivation technique he released without permission, and now that there's a problem, she's trying to shift the blame onto him. He wouldn't tolerate that.
"Order the Spirit Hall in all regions to suppress all rumors. I don't want to see any unrest. Also, keep the news under wraps."
After a long silence, Bibi Dong gave instructions to Yue Guan.
"Yes, Your His Majesty the Pope, but even so, I'm afraid it won't last long."
Yue Guan responded first, then whispered a reminder.
He knew that Bibi Dong's second half of her sentence meant that he should block information about Yu Xiaogang, but this guy had been very high-profile before and had been enjoying immense popularity recently, so how could he be completely blocked? "I'll do my best."
Bibi Dong was also aware of this, and it took her a while to speak.
"Yes, Your His Majesty the Pope."
Yue Guan the order and left, but didn't feel it would be of any use.
The truth will eventually come out. After this incident, even if the high-ranking members of the Worship Hall are not present, many of the former Pope faction members will likely side with the other side.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Bibi Dong's behavior is incomprehensible. Her previous actions of using the Spirit Hall's channels and stepping on the achievements of her own Holy Son to help promote an outsider had already made many people dissatisfied.
What's more, now that something has gone wrong, it makes them even more criticized.
Externally, things are fine; the Pope is still the Pope. But if internal disputes arise, he sees no chance of winning.
Perhaps it's time for him to find a way out.
Then, he started to have a headache again. How could Xie Yue, the obedient disciple he had finally taken in with Lao Gui, be Hu Liena's brother?
The Holy Son Your Highness didn't have any ill feelings towards Xie Yue before, but rather admired him, might be the only good news?
Yue Guan sighed and quickened his pace. No matter what, he still had to carry out orders.
