[Douluo Secret Three, the Mystery of Becoming a God!]
As these bold characters slowly unfurled across the Sky Screen, all living beings under heaven were stunned.
At that moment, no matter who they were,
their eyes were filled with an indescribable mix of shock and anticipation.
Becoming a god?!
Who in the world didn't want to become a god?
Becoming a god was the ultimate goal of every Soul Master and soul beast.
Spirit Hall, Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu stared intently at the Sky Screen, his withered hand gripping the Angel Holy Sword.
"Grandpa..."
Qian Renxue looked at him.
"Xiao Xue, you have exceptional talent and are the one with the greatest hope of becoming a god. Now that the Sky Screen is revealing the mystery of becoming a god, I'll make sure to get it for you." Qian Daoliu stroked his beard.
Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow. "Grandpa, didn't you say that the Angel God had given you guidance back then and would bestow a Divine Inheritance? Couldn't we just wait for our ancestor to send down a divine decree?"
Qian Daoliu shook his head.
The main reason he had retired back then was indeed that he had received guidance from the Angel God. But nearly a century had passed, and the Angel God had not sent down Divine Guidance again, which had given him cause for doubt.
If the Sky Screen revealed another mystery of becoming a god, he wouldn't mind finding another god for his granddaughter.
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong gazed at the Sky Screen, her expression darkening.
This world could not allow a second inheritor of a Divine Inheritance to appear.
When she accepted the Rakshasa God Inheritance, she had understood one thing: if the Rakshasa God appeared, any god who appeared afterward would be there to eliminate the Rakshasa God.
That was because the Rakshasa God was a deity of malice and slaughter.
Her appearance would bring about the world's destruction. Any other god, no matter who, would make defeating the Rakshasa God their first priority upon discovering her.
That was also why she had never dared to reveal her Divine Inheritance.
Once it was exposed, the Gods would take notice.
Therefore,
she had to eliminate every inheritor of a Divine Inheritance other than the Rakshasa God.
"Gui Mei, Yue Guan!"
Bibi Dong ordered, "Keep a close eye on the Sky Screen. If any Godhood Opportunity is revealed, send people to seize it immediately!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
Sea God Island.
Inside Sea God Hall, the high priest, Bo Saixi, looked up and said, "Sea God Island has long held a Godhood Opportunity. It's just that no one has ever been able to unlock the inheritance."
Perhaps Soul Masters on Douluo Continent didn't know, but most Ocean Soul Masters were well aware that Sea God Island held a Godhood Opportunity. The question was whether anyone would be chosen.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"The mystery of becoming a god?"
Ning Fengzhi and the others were still flushed with joy over his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda becoming the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Hearing that the Sky Screen was revealing the mystery of becoming a god made their expressions even more animated.
"Could it be revealing a method of becoming a god?"
"Possibly. We just don't know if we can get our hands on such an opportunity."
"Whether we can or not, we have to try. If our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can produce a god, we'll remain prosperous for ten thousand years."
Sword Douluo nodded. "I'm curious how a Godhood Method could rank only third. Just what earth-shattering mysteries are the first and second?"
City of Slaughter.
Tang Hao and Tang San had arrived several days earlier and reunited with Tang Chen.
"The mystery of becoming a god?"
Tang Chen's eyes burned with interest, but he remained wary. "Could this be another hateful trap, like the City of Slaughter?"
"Grandpa, since this is being revealed by the Heavenly Ranking, it shouldn't be a problem,"
Tang Hao said seriously.
"Perhaps." Tang Chen looked at Tang San beside Tang Hao. "Xiao San, you have Twin Martial Souls. If the Sky Screen reveals a method of becoming a god, I'll take it for you."
"Thank you, great-grandfather!"
Tang San bowed in thanks, then thought to himself, With my Twin Martial Souls and memories from my previous life, I'll surely be able to reach divine power even without a Godhood Opportunity.
As Soul Masters across the land watched, the Sky Screen began to scroll.
[All mortals hurry onward, striving to transcend!]
[Methods of becoming a god exist in this world. Today, they are revealed for the benefit of all.]
[Those of exceptional talent may obtain them!]
[Those blessed with great fortune may claim them!]
[Those with great perseverance may attain them!]
[There are three mysteries of becoming a god!]
[First, only those with great perseverance may succeed. In the past, the Sea God and Angel God brought peace and order to the world, created their own divine positions, and ascended to godhood!]
[Those with the perseverance to do so may choose to bring peace to the world and establish order. By comprehending the Way, they may become gods.]
[Anyone may attain a divine position!]
The revelation of this method did not shock many people. After all, the idea of becoming a god through faith was not unfamiliar. Many had heard of it, especially Ocean Soul Masters and Spirit Hall Soul Masters, who knew of the Sea God and Angel God.
But at this time, no one on Douluo Continent knew how to gather the power of faith.
Douluo Continent was now in a delicate state of balance.
There were no great calamities, nor any threat of destruction.
So the path of becoming a god through faith was all but closed.
No one could do it.
The Sky Screen seemed to realize this as well and began to announce the second method of becoming a god.
[Since ancient times, those with exceptional talent have always been blessed with great fortune. Their chances of becoming gods are far greater than those of anyone else.]
[This method of becoming a god hinges primarily on talent.]
[If a Soul Master reaches the Title Douluo realm before the age of thirty, a god will surely take notice and attempt to bestow a God Examination upon them.]
[The requirements for this method are extremely strict. Only those with heaven-defying talent can meet them.]
Soul Masters across the continent rolled their eyes at this method.
"This Sky Screen is spouting nonsense. If someone could become a Title Douluo before thirty, they wouldn't just attract a god's attention—they could create their own divine position, couldn't they?"
"Exactly. Someone with that kind of talent is destined to ascend."
"How could anyone in this world become a Title Douluo before thirty?"
"..."
Clearly,
becoming a Title Douluo at thirty was simply unimaginable.
Even Tang Hao, known as the youngest Title Douluo, had only reached that realm in his forties.
Yet even with his talent, he had failed to attract a god's attention.
Amid the murmurs, the Sky Screen changed again.
[Third method of becoming a god: only those blessed with great fortune may succeed.]
[This method is rather special. Usually, one obtains a god's token and accidentally activates a God Examination. Whether one succeeds depends entirely on oneself.]
[Here are three special conditions that may trigger one.]
[First, a Soul Master filled with boundless resentment and malice, who also possesses the potential to become a Title Douluo, may awaken the Rakshasa God's God Examination by devouring a wielder of the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul!]
[Second, there is an island called Sea God Island in the boundless ocean. Upon reaching Sea God Island, one may test their compatibility with a divine position at the Sea God Pillars, with a chance of triggering a God Examination.]
[Third, the Heaven Dou Empire once kept an item called the Vast Sea Universe Cover. Obtain it, then drip blood on it to establish a bond. Those with excellent talent will surely earn the Sea God's favor at the Sea God Pillars and directly activate a God Examination!]
[The Vast Sea Universe Cover is an essential key to becoming the Sea God, left behind in the mortal world by the Sea God.]
Boom—!
As the final words appeared on the Sky Screen, all of Douluo erupted.
"The Vast Sea Universe Cover?!"
"The Heaven Dou Empire?"
People and beasts alike—
at that moment,
all turned their gazes toward the same place. It was the imperial palace of the Heaven Dou Empire!
