God-Bestowed Spirit Ring

"Little one, this is the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring you wanted. I can grant it to you, but you must agree to do one thing for me."

"You should know that good things don't just fall from the sky, and there's no such thing as a free lunch. You may not know how precious a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring is, but let me tell you: as long as your body is strong enough, it's not impossible for its age to reach a million years."

Listening to the Evil God King, Qin Tian felt puzzled. What had the Evil God King seen in him?

"Ahem!"

"Little one, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll give you the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring now. But after you absorb it, you'll have to do something for me."

Hearing this, Qin Tian took a deep breath.

"My lord, what would you have this junior do?"

"Little one, help me find a suitable successor. I'll tell you what I'm looking for."

The Evil God King then explained the Kindness God King's requirements, leaving Qin Tian utterly bewildered.

What did this mean? He was supposed to help the Kindness God King find a suitable successor?

Qin Tian's first thought was that, as a successor to the Kindness God King, who could be more suitable than Qian Renxue?

The Angel God Position? Could a First-Level God compare to a God King?

If Qian Renxue inherited the Kindness God King's position, then even if Tang San really inherited the Asura God Position someday, they wouldn't have to fear him in the slightest.

The Asura God King was indeed a God King, but he still fell short of the Kindness God King and Evil God King.

Let's not forget: the Evil God King and the Kindness God King were first-generation gods. They had spent far longer in the Divine Realm than the Asura God King.

Could two God Kings really fail to suppress one? As for anyone beneath God King, he could only laugh.

"My lord, you said that to begin the Kindness God King's God Trial, the candidate must have a heart that yearns for the light, be kind, possess noble character, and have a Martial Soul imbued with the Power of Light and Divine Power..."

The Evil God King nodded slightly. Those were merely the minimum requirements to inherit the Kindness God King's position. It couldn't be helped; not just anyone could inherit a God King's position.

"My lord, if that's the case, then I already know someone suitable."

The Evil God King took an interest at Qin Tian's words.

"Who? Tell me."

"My lord, her name is Qian Renxue. She's a descendant of the Angel God. Her Martial Soul was originally a Six-Winged Angel, but through her own opportunity, it evolved into an Eight-Winged Angel."

"Her Eight-Winged Angel Martial Soul possesses three attributes: ultimate divinity, ultimate light, and Flame Power. She's also kind-hearted..."

The Evil God King didn't answer right away. Instead, he fell into thought.

An Angel Martial Soul, a descendant of the Angel God... If she inherited the Kindness God King's position, then what about the Angel God Position...

"Little one, here's the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring you wanted. Absorb it and break through."

After granting the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, the Evil God King withdrew his divine sense and turned to the Kindness God King beside him.

"Kindness, don't say I haven't helped you find a successor. There's a suitable candidate right now. Whether you want her is up to you."

The Kindness God King took an interest at the Evil God King's words.

"She's a descendant of the Angel God, and her evolved Eight-Winged Angel Martial Soul possesses the three elemental powers of ultimate divinity, ultimate light, and fire."

"The Angel God is dead, and no one has inherited her position. If I'm not mistaken, this person should be able to inherit the Angel God Position."

After saying this, the Evil God King quietly watched the Kindness God King. Whatever she chose had nothing to do with him.

After a long while, the Kindness God King finally made up her mind.

She was determined to make this girl her successor. The Evil God King had found a successor of his own. Once he passed on his position, she would truly have no friends left in the Divine Realm.

Besides, between her and Evil...

"Evil, I'll take a look at Qian Renxue shortly. If she's suitable, I'll grant her a God Trial."

The Evil God King nodded slightly. As far as he was concerned, the Kindness God King's decision couldn't be better.

So what if he stole the Angel God's successor? Even if the Angel God were alive, she'd surely... if she knew one of her descendants had inherited a God King's position.

Qin Tian gazed at the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

In theory, as long as his body was strong enough, the ring could reach one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand years... even a million years.

What surprised him was that the Evil God King had given him two God-Bestowed Spirit Rings at once.

Qin Tian took several deep breaths. Once he'd steadied himself, he adjusted his condition.

A moment later, Qin Tian crushed the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring and began absorbing its power.

The shattered God-Bestowed Spirit Ring became a halo of light that settled above Qin Tian's head.

At first, it was white, representing ten years. In the blink of an eye, it turned yellow, reaching one hundred years. A few breaths later, the yellow shifted to purple, becoming a thousand-year ring.

A moment later, the purple turned black, advancing from a thousand years to ten thousand.

All of this happened in just a moment. In other words, the Spirit Ring had gone from ten years to ten thousand.

Yet even after reaching ten thousand years, it didn't stop. As time passed, the ring's color changed from a pale black to its present pitch-black shade.

Ten thousand years, fifteen thousand years, twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years, fifty thousand years, fifty-five thousand years, sixty thousand years, sixty-five thousand years, seventy thousand years.

Even when it reached ninety thousand years, Qin Tian felt no danger at all.

That meant Qin Tian could easily bear a ninety-thousand-year Spirit Ring with his current body alone.

Qin Tian was deeply shocked. He knew just how strong his physique was. His original plan had been to kill Tang Hao first, then absorb the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone to strengthen his body further. After that, he would return to the Worship Hall and find a Head Soul Bone—ideally one with a Mental Attribute—to boost his mental strength.

Then he would bring several of the Worship Hall's elders to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt the Titan Giant and turn it into his Sixth Soul Ring.

Now, he had received the Evil God King's inheritance, begun the Nine Trials of Evil, and been granted a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring by the Evil God King.

With his physique, he could actually absorb a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

That's right—the ring had already changed from black to red, advancing from a ten-thousand-year ring to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

What Qin Tian didn't know was how much he had gained while he was unconscious.

First, the Evil God King had condensed the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' source power into two divine rings and attached them to his Second Martial Soul.

The two divine rings had strengthened his body even further.

Then came the External Soul Bones on his left and right arms—and they were god-level Soul Bones.

God-level Soul Bones had strengthened his entire body. His physique was now no weaker than that of a Peak Douluo.

What's more, he had the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' inner core. The core in his dantian constantly released its source power, strengthening Qin Tian's body, purifying his Soul Power, and nourishing his Divine Sea.

The Evil God King had personally overseen every part of it. Qin Tian owed all his achievements to him.
