God Realm, Hall of the Gods.
A deathly silence fell, followed by an unprecedentedly violent surge of divine sense!
"Did he... did he snatch away the inheritor of the divine seat along with the entire temple?!"
"He forcibly initiated a sacrifice, altered the inheritance rules, publicly insulted the gods... and now he has directly abducted the entire God-Chosen faction?!"
"That shadow... it again! What exactly does the existence behind it want?!"
"Such utterly deranged methods... this is a declaration of war! A naked provocation against the very foundation of the God Realm's rule!"
Good heavens, they had thought Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa God being kidnapped was already outrageous enough.
Who could have expected him to go even crazier and take away the inheritance site too? Was he even human?
The Asura God, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life... every main god who sensed this scene was shaken to the core.
This way of doing things had completely surpassed their understanding of "conflicts in the lower realms"!
This was no longer a simple fight over Sky Screen rewards. It was a systematic questioning, overturning, and even plundering of the God Realm's authority and inheritance system!
As the war on Douluo Continent continued to escalate, the God Realm could no longer ignore it.
The one most panicked was undoubtedly the Sea God.
Aside from the Angel God's clearly established inheritance site, the only remaining one on Douluo Continent was his Sea God Island.
Given Pokemon World's deranged methods, there was no guarantee they would not set their sights on Sea God Island.
After packing up and taking Spirit Hall away, Lu Feng did not linger for long.
A gentle yet irresistible force of space enveloped Qian Daoliu, and the scene before his eyes shifted.
They arrived in an even brighter, more vibrant, and strange space.
It seemed to be the border region of some enormous world. The sky was a pure azure, dotted with soft clouds, while the sunlight was warm without being scorching.
The faintly glowing grasslands stretched out beneath them. In the distance stood the outline of lush forests and winding clear streams, while the air was filled with refreshing vegetation scents and lively, nimble energy.
Completely unlike the eerie and oppressive atmosphere of the Distortion World, this place was filled with tranquility, harmony, and flourishing life.
Lu Feng had packed Qian Daoliu and the others into the Distortion World. After all, he was about to properly sweet-talk someone into joining.
Tricking a child in front of her elder was somewhat improper, so Lu Feng generally only did this sort of thing in private.
"This is the outskirts of Pokemon World. It is very suitable for newcomers to adapt and establish connections." Lu Feng's gentle voice rang out as the Light Divine Power around Qian Renxue was drawn forth, turning into strands of faint radiance that gathered in his hand.
Qian Renxue curiously surveyed her surroundings. Having spent years undercover within the Heaven Dou Royal Family, constantly on edge and living behind a mask, she had not experienced such a pure and relaxing environment in a very long time.
She took a deep breath and felt as though even her soul had been cleansed.
At that moment, the mote of light Lu Feng had displayed earlier separated from his glow once more and slowly drifted before Qian Renxue. Its radiance faded.
The Power of Creation activated, revealing a strange little creature composed of purple-to-light-blue gas. It slowly spun like a miniature nebula, glittered with dreamy starlight, and had two adorable cloud-like ears.
A divine beast cub—Cosmog.
It felt a natural fondness for the light aura around Qian Renxue. Blinking its "eyes," which seemed to be formed from fragments of starlight, it let out a soft, pleasant mental cry of "Mew~" and floated closer of its own accord, gently rubbing its gaseous yet soft little "ears" against Qian Renxue's fingers.
A pure, warm sense of closeness, carrying the aura of stars and light, flowed into Qian Renxue's heart through their point of contact.
Having lived in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace for years, hiding her face and never daring to reveal herself, Qian Renxue was faced with such a small lifeform.
Almost instantly, its unconditional closeness and dependence struck the softest part of her heart.
Qian Renxue's expression softened unconsciously, and a rare trace of girlish wonder and affection appeared in her golden eyes.
"What... is its name?" Qian Renxue carefully extended a finger, letting Cosmog curl around it and play as curiosity filled her voice with a gentleness she herself had not noticed.
"Cosmog. You can also call it Nebby. It will be your partner after you join Pokemon World."
"It likes basking in light and feeds on crystals containing light energy." Lu Feng's voice carried a hint of amusement. "Though it is the young form of a legendary beast, its mind is as pure as a child's. It is extremely compatible with your Light Divine Power."
Having spent years walking on thin ice and almost never experienced any untainted trust, Qian Renxue watched Nebby happily spin in her palm, emitting soft starlight. An indescribable warmth and sense of responsibility welled up within her.
This pure connection made her cherish it more than any power ever could.
"Senior, can Cosmog... can Nebby become even stronger than the Pokemon on the Heavenly Pride Ranking?" Qian Renxue looked up and asked, her gaze resolute.
Lu Feng coughed twice, knowing the main event had arrived. Given the difference in their strength, he could have forced Qian Renxue to accept Cosmog through sheer power.
He could even have skipped the entire process and directly created the sun god Solgaleo.
But that was not what he wanted. He wanted to see the integration of the Pokemon system and the Spirit Master system.
If he used force, he would only be finding Cosmog a babysitter, which would run completely counter to his core purpose.
His own strength was too great, making this difficult to handle. Gods like Qian Renxue, who had forcibly inherited divine seats and could not properly control their power, were the best candidates.
"Use the secret method I taught you to convert one of your spirit rings into a 'Poke Ball.'"
Lu Feng instructed, "If circumstances allow, something like a Spirit Bone can serve as even better material. It is innately close to light, and you possess the purest Angel Divine Power, so the quality of the 'ball' you convert will not be low. Then, use your heart to call to it and accept it."
Qian Renxue nodded and closed her eyes in concentration.
Nine dazzling God Rank spirit rings emerged around her body, their light flowing.
Sensing the secret method that had appeared in her mind, she focused her thoughts on one of the spirit rings.
A Spirit Bone within her body was also drawn forth. It had been formed from a high-quality ten-thousand-year light-attribute spirit beast spirit ring she had absorbed long ago.
The spirit ring trembled slightly as the Spirit Bone transformed into a streak of golden light and merged into it.
The light began to draw inward and contract. Its shape gradually changed from a ring into a sphere, while its color shifted from pure gold to a milky-white orb, crystalline and translucent throughout, as though dawn flowed within it and faint star patterns emerged across its surface.
The prototype of a special high-grade ball of extremely high quality, leaning toward the light attribute!
The conversion process was not intense, yet it carried an enigmatic rhythm of laws being reshaped.
A moment later, a "Poke Ball" radiating a warm, luminous aura quietly floated before Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue opened her eyes, picked up the smooth, jade-like sphere, and looked at Cosmog curiously peering about beside her.
She silently recited the connection contract from the secret method, injecting a thread of her purest Angel Divine Power and goodwill into the ball. At the same time, she softly called out, "Cosmog, are you willing to become my partner?"
"Mew!" Cosmog responded cheerfully, seemingly understanding her meaning. It voluntarily transformed into a streak of light and entered the Poke Ball.
The sphere gently shook twice and gave a crisp ding. The button at its center steadily lit up with a soft white glow. The capture was successful!
An even clearer and closer soul connection formed between Qian Renxue and Cosmog.
She could sense Cosmog resting peacefully within the ball with its eyes closed, slowly absorbing the warm pulses of her Light Divine Power.
Lu Feng carefully observed both of their reactions. There did not appear to be any unusual rejection.
But that seemed reasonable enough. Most of the Pokemon's power originated from the native spirit beasts.
Since Spirit Masters could absorb spirit rings, converting spirit rings into Poke Balls and using them to capture Pokemon should not be difficult.
What came next was the real focus. Once a Pokemon had been captured, whether its internal power could be converted was what truly mattered.
The Pokemon system was not some spirit entity system. Lu Feng would not allow Pokemon to become complete subordinates; the distinction between primary and secondary still had to be made clear.
