Soul Bone Birth and a BUG! The God of Phoenix Has It Rough!

Soul Bone Birth and a BUG! The God of Phoenix Has It Rough!

100,000-Year Spirit Beasts had a special trait: after being killed, they could drop a Soul Bone from any desired body part.

So...

What about External Soul Bones?

There was no need to guess. Someone knowledgeable was in the Livestream Room.

First Hong opened the viewer list.

God King of Destruction 002 was indeed there.

This one's main body was asleep. He could neither cultivate nor communicate with the outside world, and could only pass the time watching the Livestream Room, while relaying things to the Goddess of Life to relieve her boredom.

Big Shot Number Two, want to chat for a bit?

"God King of Destruction 002": Certainly.

Do you know how the drop rate for Soul Bones was actually designed?

There was a little trick here.

When dealing with big shots, you could not ask them directly. Instead, you had to subtly question them.

—Especially in fields they excelled in.

That way, you could stir up their competitive spirit and give them a chance to show off.

And then...

"God King of Destruction 002": What is so difficult about that? Those rules were designed by me.

"God King of Destruction 002": Soul Bones existed innately. When I imposed the Spirit Ring restrictions, I also added the requirement that Soul Bones could become divine equipment, thereby cutting off the path for Spirit Beasts to become gods.

"God King of Destruction 002": The principle behind Soul Bone formation is that exceptionally gifted Spirit Beasts cultivate too quickly, causing Soul Power to build up in their bodies. Over time, it condenses into Soul Bones.

The more First Hong listened, the stranger it sounded.

So...

Soul Bones were basically like kidney stones, accumulated from poor digestion?

If that's the case, why can the Soul Bones of 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts be specified?

"God King of Destruction 002": After 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts undergo heavenly tribulation to temper their bodies, even if they have Soul Bones inside them, those bones would have already been shattered and fused into their bodies.

"God King of Destruction 002": However, in order to limit their numbers, I set a rule. When a 100,000-Year Spirit Beast dies, its power will be extracted to condense the Soul Bone desired by its killer.

That was one hell of a bounty.

Gods really knew how to play.

Going by what you said, External Soul Bones can be condensed too, right?

"God King of Destruction 002": The rules I designed only covered the six ordinary body parts.

"God King of Destruction 002": But they can be changed.

User "God King of Destruction 002" sent a gift: "100,000-Year Soul Bone Condensation Rule Patch 2.0" ×1

"God King of Destruction 002": Release this, and it will automatically patch itself into the rules.

"God King of Destruction 002": I have set it so that only you can trigger the External Soul Bone condensation mechanism.

Holy shit!

Big Shot Number Two, you're awesome!

No question about it. If any new gods show up, I'll definitely help persuade them to join your faction!

Tang San will be finished before long. What future is there in following him?

"God King of Destruction 002": Hm? Has something happened in the God Realm?

"God King of Destruction 002": Because of this Space-Time Storm?

Yes. The Space-Time Storm will break the Golden Dragon King's seal, but Tang San will stop him.

The Golden Dragon King will refuse to accept it and attach his God Core to Tang San's son, Tang Wulin. Then Tang San will place eighteen seals on him.

Xiao Wu will be affected too, but Tang San will have all his attention on his son and won't notice her at all.

Xiao Wu herself will stubbornly refuse to say anything. In the end, her divinity will be worn away, and she will become the first god in the God Realm to die of illness.

Without Xiao Wu, his sword sheath, Tang San will be unable to use the Asura God King's divine power. He was also too ruthless in his earlier actions, so he can only be forced into reincarnation to seek out Xiao Wu's reincarnation.

"God King of Destruction 002":

"God of Speed":

"God of Phoenix":

"God King of Destruction 001":

Huh?

They were all here?

"God King of Destruction 002": Why didn't you mention something this important earlier?

Big Shot Number Two, aren't you asleep and unable to communicate with the outside world?

"God King of Destruction 002": That is true.

"God King of Destruction 002": Did my other self hear that? Go reinforce the Golden Dragon King's seal.

"God King of Destruction 001": Stop nagging. I'm already doing it!

"God of Phoenix": Should I report this too?

"God of Speed": I've already reported it to the Goddess of Life. Fatty, stop worrying for nothing and get over here already!

"God of Phoenix": Huh? I'm already outside the Life Palace, but I don't see you.

"God of Speed": Huh? I've been waiting here for ages.

Seeing their conversation, First Hong reminded them, Could it be that you're not on the same timeline?

That silenced both gods.

After a long while...

"God of Phoenix": Help! The God King of Destruction suddenly came out and is questioning why I'm here!

Tsk!

Poor guy.

"God King of Destruction 002": You can explain the Livestream Room to him. Have him ask a few questions, and I will verify them here.

"God of Phoenix": Yes, Big Shot! Thank you, Big Shot!

After another moment of silence...

"God of Phoenix": Big Shot, the God King of Destruction here asks: what is the birthmark on the Life God King's body?

First Hong's mouth twitched.

It was an extremely private question. No one but the God King of Destruction himself could possibly know the answer.

But if the Livestream Room really existed, then once this question was answered, wouldn't everyone know?

"God King of Destruction 002": Life was born from my Destruction Coagulate Liquid. Her main body is the Life Ancient Tree. Where would she get a birthmark?

So it was a trap. Then that was fine.

A few seconds later...

"God of Phoenix": You really are cautious. If it had been someone who didn't know and guessed randomly, they'd definitely have been finished.

"God of Phoenix": I've now been taken under the God King of Destruction's command. I'll act as His Undercover Agent on Tang San's side and persuade more gods to defect.

Oh?

He had originally planned to slack off with the Life God King, only to be assigned an even more troublesome job.

He really had it rough.

"God of Speed": Fatty, my condolences.

"God of Phoenix": Wuwuwu—

That was where the topic ended.

The Livestream Room fell quiet again.

First Hong also made up his mind—on this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, he had to kill the Titan Giant Ape.

Maybe it would drop a 100,000-Year External Soul Bone.

As for wasting a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring, he had a pile of God-Given Spirit Rings anyway. He didn't give a damn.

Just as he was about to lie down and sleep...

He saw Oscar cultivating across from him, and an inexplicable anxiety rose in his heart.

Yeah.

Why did it feel like the gut-wrenching pressure of a college roommate preparing for the graduate school entrance exam?

He could not sleep peacefully.

Bosses, can anyone sponsor a cultivation technique?

I want to work hard at cultivation too.

The Livestream Room fell silent.

What was going on?

Had they all gone to sleep?

He opened the viewer list. They were all still there.

"God of Phoenix": You may not believe this, but Second-Level Godhoods can almost never advance. So after I entered the God Realm, I never cultivated again, much less researched cultivation techniques.

"God of Speed": Same here.

"God King of Destruction 001": As an innate God King, I have no need to cultivate. I only need to maintain order.

"God King of Destruction 002": In truth, I can't advance any further either.

"God King of Destruction 001": Stop nagging!

First Hong: "."

He had finally decided to work hard, and they would not even give him the chance?

Still unwilling to give up, he asked—

Do babies born in the God Realm not need to cultivate either?
