Why did gods pass down their Divine Positions?
This question left Qian Daoliu and the others stunned.
Wasn't it because gods had taken a liking to a successor's talent and, seeing such promise, granted them the blessing of becoming a god?
Could there be some other reason?
Qian Daoliu directly voiced his thoughts, making Di Tian smile. "Of course not. Those who could become gods were already heaven's chosen, and no one could surpass them in talent. And if someone truly did surpass them in talent, they would not inherit another's Divine Position. They would create one of their own."
Right!
Only after Di Tian put it that way did Qian Daoliu and the others realize it. Which god had not been a genius among geniuses?
Take the Angel God, the founder of Spirit Hall. She had eradicated the Evil Soul Masters that ravaged the entire continent and ascended to godhood. Naturally, she had been an extraordinary genius.
Even the Angel God was like that, let alone the other gods of the Divine Realm. They surely had all been the same.
Thinking about it this way, gods definitely did not pass down their Divine Positions because of a successor's talent. They might indeed choose someone because that person was talented, but that was merely the criterion for selection, not their true motive.
"Then what is the reason?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.
Qian Daoliu had told her that she might have the chance to inherit the Angel God's Divine Position in the future, so she dearly wanted to know why.
Seeing that the one speaking was Qian Renxue, Di Tian became more respectful, knowing her relationship with Ao Zhan. "Gods pass down their Divine Positions because a saying has always circulated among them: as long as one passes down their Divine Position, one becomes qualified to travel to a higher-level world."
Only then did everyone come to a realization. Above the Divine Realm, there were even higher-level worlds.
"But what does that have to do with the dark power inside Xiao Zhan and Big Brother?" Golden Crocodile asked without a second thought.
However, attentive people like Qian Daoliu and Azure Luan understood Di Tian's implication.
"Do you mean that this energy actually came from another world? And perhaps Xiao Zhan also came from another world? For example, the higher-level world that all the gods wished to reach?" Azure Luan asked.
Qian Daoliu recalled the first time he had met Ao Zhan. At the time, Ao Zhan had seemingly arrived here through the power of space-time as well.
Di Tian nodded. "That's right. Dragon Venerable's Dragon Clan bloodline exceeds the limits of this universe. Based on what Lord Qian Daoliu said before, the dark power in his body must also have come from another world. It is very likely from the same world as Dragon Venerable."
Ao Zhan took over. "Di Tian is right. I did come from another world. An accident created a wormhole and brought me here. As for the dark power inside you, Grandpa Qian, it is called Alien Energy. It is a power tied to conviction, and its original owner was named Pluto."
"There is also a strand of Alien Energy inside Xue'er. Its original owner was the Snow Empress. These energies came to this world along with me."
Afterward, Ao Zhan told them some things about Super Beast Armed. Of course, he limited it to Pluto, the Snow Empress, and Alien Energy. He did not mention the setting of a hundred-thousand-year cycle, since there was no point in them knowing.
After hearing it all, Qian Daoliu and the others could not help sighing in sentiment.
They had never expected that someone as powerful as Pluto had lived a lonely life, while the Snow Empress, who spoke of love, could hardly be said to have acted out of love.
"So, Grandpa Qian, you do not need to think about how to rid yourself of this Alien Energy. You can choose to accept it, control it, and make it your own power."
Qian Daoliu looked at his hand. A mass of black Alien Energy appeared in his palm. After a long while, he sighed. "Sigh, Xiao Zhan, after hearing you out, I truly no longer reject this power. But this power called Alien Energy is too domineering. Not only did it turn my Soul Power attribute into darkness, it even devoured my Angel Divine Power."
"What?!" Golden Crocodile and the others were greatly shocked.
If Angel Divine Power had been devoured by this Alien Energy, didn't that mean Qian Renxue could no longer inherit the God Trial?!
"Grandpa Qian, you needn't worry. Xue'er may not necessarily be unable to become a god now. Don't forget, she possesses the Snow Empress's Exotic Energy. With this power, she can become a god without the Angel God Position." Ao Zhan spoke to Qian Daoliu with confidence.
Qian Renxue also lifted her head to look at Qian Daoliu, her eyes filled with confidence.
She believed that her talent was no weaker than the Angel God's, and she believed in Ao Zhan's methods even more.
Qian Daoliu stared at Ao Zhan for a long time before letting out a heavy breath. "I believe you."
Ao Zhan's origins were simply too legendary. He came from the higher-level world that even the gods yearned for, and Qian Renxue also possessed the power known as Alien Energy.
Perhaps it truly was possible for Qian Renxue to become a god without relying on the Angel God Position.
"And Grandpa Qian, if you fully master Pluto's Exotic Energy and make it completely your own power, perhaps you can become a god through it as well."
Qian Daoliu did not answer, merely nodding.
Ao Zhan had already spoken of Pluto's strength. Perhaps he truly could use this power to break through his shackles and become a god.
Nor did anyone ask Ao Zhan any more about that world, because they were not even gods yet. Thinking about such matters was still far too distant.
However, Qian Xunji glanced curiously at Di Tian and asked, "By the way, Xiao Zhan, how did you come to know Lord Di Tian?"
"Xunji, is your brain not working? Think about it. Xiao Zhan's Dragon Clan bloodline is so powerful, so of course it would attract Lord Di Tian's attention," Guang Ling teased Qian Xunji.
His words won Di Tian's agreement. "He's right. And it wasn't only me, but also my master. We wish to gain Dragon Venerable's help in freeing the Soul Beast Clan from its predicament."
Di Tian then told them about the Dragon God War. "So, the Soul Beast Clan now faces suppression from the Divine Realm. If we do not find a way to break this deadlock, then in the future, our clan will never have the chance to rise again! That is why I left Star Dou Forest to seek Dragon Venerable's aid."
After hearing this, everyone felt they could not wade into these troubled waters.
If the enemy had been some major force on Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall would not have been afraid. But the Soul Beast Clan's enemy was the Divine Realm!
How were they supposed to fight that?
Charging in would just make them cannon fodder. The other side could casually send anyone over and wipe out Spirit Hall dozens of times.
Even though they were surprised that Di Tian's master, the Silver Dragon King, was a god and the other half of the Beast Clan's supreme god, the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King was still only one God Level combatant. The Divine Realm had countless God Level experts, and his master was severely injured.
Even the Beast Clan's supreme god, the Dragon God, had been defeated by those God Kings. What chance did the current Soul Beast Clan have of winning?!
Moreover, the Angel God was still in the Divine Realm. If they went to war with the Divine Realm, how was the Angel God supposed to conduct herself there?
Everyone felt that this was a hot potato and unanimously believed they could not get involved.
Although none of them spoke, anyone could see that they did not want to involve themselves in this matter. Ao Zhan and Di Tian knew why as well.
Ao Zhan sighed. "Grandpa Qian, I have some very bad news to tell you. Even if we do not help the Soul Beast Clan, the Divine Realm will not let Spirit Hall survive."
"Xiao Zhan, what do you mean?" Qian Daoliu and the others already had an extremely bad premonition.
"Because the Angel God, the founder of Spirit Hall, has already been killed by the Asura God King of the Divine Realm!"
