While Shangguan Li was undergoing her Ninth Trial, Gu Yuena was also carrying out her grand plan to attack the Divine Realm.
Looking at the Divine Realm, which was filled with the power of Wuxie, Shangguan Li asked, "Why did no one notice before the Divine Realm became like this? Could there be a traitor from Wuxie within the Divine Realm?"
Hearing Shangguan Li put it this way, the Sea God felt somewhat ashamed; it was something Shangguan Li had noticed, yet none of them had perceived it.
"Just as you said, there is indeed a traitor from Wuxie in the Divine Realm. It is just that the word 'traitor' is not quite right; Wuxie himself is right here inside the Divine Realm. He devoured the Asura God of the Divine Realm and came within a hair's breadth of seizing control of the Divine Realm Center."
"A hair's breadth?"
The God of Destruction said, "Just that close. Had the God of Evil not held a measure of caution, the Divine Realm Center would have been seized by the Asura God at that time, and the Divine Realm would never have been able to return to what it once was."
"That is why we had you inherit the godhood as early as possible-not only to make you stronger, but even more so for you to preserve the future of the Divine Realm," the Goddess of Life continued.
"When I pass on my godhood, I will also transmit the Seed of Life to you. If the Divine Realm truly perishes, you can rely on this seed to make the Divine Realm grow anew. We have already prepared to coexist and perish with the Divine Realm, but you are still a new deity, and I cannot bear for you to lose your life along with us."
Shangguan Li said, "I understand. I had no idea the current situation in the Divine Realm was so perilous."
"Indeed. That is why we were in such a rush to have you inherit the godhood. Although losing our godhood will cause our powers to weaken slightly, it will not hinder our capabilities."
Once Shangguan Li truly understood the current state of the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction had no desire to delay her time any further. "Since you already understand, let us begin the inheritance of the godhood."
In order to undergo the Ninth Trial, Shangguan Li passed through a large door once more. After the door closed, the place plunged into pitch darkness; although it was not her first time here, the feeling was completely different.
Shangguan Li carefully observed the place, only to discover that it was unexpectedly a palace. This palace was exceptionally vast, even ten times larger than the palace of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Even though Shangguan Li was so far away from it, it still looked immensely majestic.
Shangguan Li assumed this should be the divine temple of one of the three gods, but she had guessed wrong; this was a divine temple newly forged by the three of them using divine power.
Because the previous divine temple was no longer safe, and to ensure that her successor could perfectly inherit the godhood, the three of them consumed a considerable amount of divine power, yet all this effort was worth it.
The Ninth Trial of the gods required passing through the trials of the seven emotions, but the three deities knew Shangguan Li's character very well, so there was nothing to fear at all.
Thus, Shangguan Li's trial was extremely relaxed. At a moment when even Shangguan Li herself did not know what was happening, the voice of the Sea God suddenly rang out.
"Lass, the few words I am about to say, those two do not yet know. My godhood inheritance is somewhat different from theirs; I may have to sacrifice my own life."
It was clearly a very calm utterance, yet it sounded exceptionally sorrowful.
Shangguan Li asked, "Why?"
"To speak of it is quite shameful, but my body has already been partially invaded by Wuxie. Had my willpower not been resolute, I might have already been assimilated. To ensure the purity of the Sea God Godhood, I can only choose this method for the inheritance. Do not feel apologetic; if you must feel indebted to me, then strive to cultivate the Sea God Godhood to the Divine King realm."
After saying these words, the aura of the Sea God completely vanished. Its power also grew weaker and weaker, while three voices suddenly rang out in Shangguan Li's mind.
The Ninth Trial of the Sea God (God of Devastation / Goddess of Life) is complete. The divinehood of the Sea God (God of Devastation / Goddess of Life) is a perfect fit. The Sea God (God of Devastation / Goddess of Life) reappears, hence soul ring cultivation increases by 100,000 years.
The matter of Shangguan Li inheriting the godhood caused the continent to change hue, and everyone sensed a divine pillar of light descending from the sky toward the distant sea island.
What Shangguan Li did not know was that she had stayed within the Sea God's Palace for a full half-month. Yet all of this was worth it, and she had gained even more formidable power.
Seeing this scene, the poker-faced Yun Ming managed a rare smile, and Ya Li also said, "It seems A'Li has succeeded."
At this time, Yun Ming was already the God of Devastation, and Ya Li was the Goddess of Healing.
People far away on the Douluo Continent also perceived the changes on Sea God Island.
Worship Hall.
Looking in the direction of Sea God Island, Qian Daoliu said with a trace of sorrow, "Bo Saixi, it seems you too chose that path of sacrifice. Before long, I shall also burn away my life; I wonder if we will still be able to meet in the Divine Realm."
Following that, Qian Daoliu gazed with eyes full of sorrow at Qian Renxue, who was praying before him, silently offering blessings and prayers for her in his heart.
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong clenched her fists tightly, her complexion turning ashen. "Just who became a god? Investigate it thoroughly for me at once."
"Master, calm your anger. With such powerful combat prowess, we ought to choose to win them over rather than provoke the other party."
Hu Liena remained as calm as ever; yet, whether by some twist of fate or not, Hu Liena still encountered Tang San in the City of Slaughter, and unexpectedly fell hopelessly in love with the handsome Tang San.
"Nana is right. Find out precisely who that god-tier powerhouse is, and then invite them to the Spirit Hall for a chat."
"As you command."
Heaven Dou City.
Tang San naturally saw this scene as well. "Who on earth is it? Who on earth became a god before me? Will the Douluo Continent still proceed according to my developments?"
Although Tang San was grinding his teeth in vexation, he still felt somewhat apprehensive, hoping that the person who had become a god would not stand on the side of the Spirit Hall. After all, their faction already belonged to the weaker side; if the Spirit Hall gained yet another god-tier powerhouse, then his plans would definitely not succeed.
Tang San silently recited in his heart to the Asura God, "Lord Asura, do you know who that person who became a god is?"
Whether it was because his power had been excessively depleted after fighting Shangguan Li, or because he had lost too much power under the purification radiance of Shaohua and Little Pear, Wuxie simply did not answer Tang San's words at all.
Tang San grew even more exasperated, yet he dared not say anything, because the Asura God could connect to him through the mind. If he thought about or muttered any complaints against the Asura God, and the Asura God found out that he had spoken ill of him, would the Asura God still pass the power of godhood on to him?
"No, I must find out who this person is as quickly as possible and win him over to my side."
Star Dou Great Forest.
Gu Yuena naturally saw this phenomenon as well. "It seems Shangguan Li has succeeded, but I do not know whether she will honor her agreement with me."
"Lord, Shangguan Li is a person who keeps her promises; let us choose to believe her." Ever since Di Tian had laid eyes upon Little Pear, he had harbored an inexplicable sense of adoration toward Shangguan Li.
"We can only choose to believe."
