Bibi Dong's divine consciousness spoke to explain; she had been targeted by the Asura God and Tang San, her divine soul completely annihilated, leaving her now as nothing more than a wisp of divine consciousness.
"Divine consciousness!"
Yang Hao understood; it must be similar to the divine consciousness the original Sea God Poseidon had left within the Sea God's Heart back in the day.
"Is the inheritance you speak of referring to the Rakshasa God Position?"
His heart raced with excitement; this was a god position that could lead directly to godhood.
"My god position was devoured by the Asura God using the Asura Sword back then. Now, I can only bestow upon you God Trials. You can obtain Rakshasa Divine Power and divine affinity from these trials to enhance your strength, and if your foundation is sufficient, you can break through to level one hundred.
You must find a way to obtain a god position yourselves, but my divine armor and Sovereign Artifact, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, have been preserved. If you are qualified, you may use them."
Bibi Dong did not hide the truth, revealing this reality.
She could only grant God Trials now; the god position itself was gone.
"And the price?"
Ye Xishui narrowed her eyes slightly. Judging from that Godhood Notations book, this woman was no saint, and her mental state was unstable; it was impossible for her to hand out such opportunities for nothing.
"The price is naturally included within the God Trials."
Bibi Dong's divine consciousness gave an evil smile. She was certainly no benevolent soul; if they wanted to obtain the divine power of the trials, they would have to do things for her.
"Does Your Majesty wish for us to take revenge on the forces left behind by the Sea God and his ilk?"
Yang Hao pondered; that was the only thing he could think of.
"It seems you are quite well-informed about my affairs."
Bibi Dong was surprised. After ten thousand years, was there still someone who remembered the events of the past?
"Mother, has ten thousand years of time not yet worn away your hatred?"
At this moment, a golden phantom appeared; it was the divine soul of Qian Renxue.
This was a divine soul, not merely a divine consciousness. Although Qian Renxue's god position had shattered back then, her essence remained that of a deity, especially her divine soul.
"Seeing the end that you and Nana met, how could the hatred in my heart ever be worn away?"
Gently caressing her daughter's cheek, Bibi Dong felt immense pity, and the hatred in her heart grew even more intense.
"Mother's power is too extreme. You still have a Light Martial Soul that can bear my God Trials."
Qian Renxue felt a pang of sadness, then turned her gaze toward Ye Xishui, sensing the pure light power within her body.
Although it was far inferior to her own Angel Martial Soul, it was sufficient to bear a certain level of God Trials, which could be used to balance the power of the Rakshasa God Trials and prevent her from walking the path of extremes like her mother.
"Your Majesty, I possess three martial souls, two of which have evil and holy attributes; I should also be able to bear your God Trials."
Yang Hao hurriedly manifested his three martial souls from his storage soul tool, eager to obtain a God Trial as well.
This was a God Trial, after all!
"Too weak!"
Qian Renxue curiously examined the three martial souls, but ultimately shook her head.
Bibi Dong also looked down upon them. They were indeed twin, or rather, triple martial souls, but their quality was far too poor.
"The Shrek Academy inspection team murdered my parents and indirectly caused my brother's death. I have an irreconcilable hatred for them, and I am determined to destroy Shrek in this lifetime. I implore the two of you to assist me."
Yang Hao would not give up; he had to obtain this opportunity.
"An irreconcilable hatred, you say?"
Bibi Dong became interested. After sizing him up, she flicked a ray of purple brilliance onto Yang Hao, which evolved into a white halo and finally merged into his Demon Blade martial soul, forming a purple, sickle-shaped brand.
"White-level first trial; too pathetic."
Shaking her head, Bibi Dong glanced at the Demon Blade, feeling slightly curious.
The God Trial brand had not landed on the boy himself, but had transferred to his martial soul; that was quite strange.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Hao hurriedly expressed his gratitude, then looked expectantly at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue sighed helplessly and flicked a ray of golden divine light onto Yang Hao. It evolved into a white curtain of light, finally manifesting as a sword-shaped mark branded onto Yang Hao's Holy Sword martial soul—clearly also the lowest grade.
This was a self-evaluation mechanism of divine power, primarily based on the quality of the martial soul; the potential of this child's martial soul was simply too poor.
"Thank you, Angel God."
Yang Hao thanked her gratefully. Although it was only the lowest-level God Trial, it was still a God Trial; the brand alone was of immeasurable value, as it was condensed from divine power.
"What is the content of this junior's God Trial?"
He had the brand, but the content of the trial had not yet been stated.
"The Clear Sky Sect, the Shrek Seven Devils, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Tang Sect, and the royal families of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire—as long as you can kill a direct descendant of any of these individuals or forces, your God Trial will be considered complete."
Bibi Dong spoke casually, her gaze shifting to examine Ye Xishui. This woman's martial soul was quite good, and she possessed a top-tier twin martial soul, with her own soul power already at level ninety-nine, just one step away from level one hundred.
She still had a second martial soul that had not been cultivated, and with the enhancement of the God Trials, there was a high probability she could succeed in her breakthrough and become a level-one-hundred demigod.
Although she would only be a demigod, as long as Tang San and the others did not descend in their true forms, it would be enough for her to roam the continent at will.
Chapter 31: Slaughter God's Domain
"I believe I have completed the task. I killed the current patriarch of the Strength Clan, his son, and his grandson, and I devoured their martial souls.
The Strength Clan patriarch, Tai Jingang, was a Titled Douluo; his son, Tai Wuji, was a Soul Emperor; and his grandson, Tai Wushuang, possessed Innate Full Soul Power, with his first soul ring already being a thousand-year one. This External Soul Bone was also torn from his body.
Furthermore, I abducted Ma Xiaotao, a descendant of the Phoenix Douluo Ma Hongjun, and brought her to the Holy Spirit Cult, a faction hostile to Shrek Academy..."
Yang Hao recounted his achievements, feeling that he had completed his mission ahead of schedule.
"The little one is quite capable, isn't he?"
Bibi Dong's divine sense expressed surprise as she glanced at Ye Xishui, who nodded in response.
"Hao'er is my disciple. Although his martial soul level is somewhat low, he possesses immense talent in soul tools. He pioneered the systems of explosives and firearms; with sufficient scale, he could even kill a ninety-nine-level Limit Douluo."
Ye Xishui hoped this disciple could secure more opportunities here.
"Soul tool master?"
"Does that have anything to do with soul tools?"
Bibi Dong was puzzled; was this a profession that had emerged within the last ten thousand years?
"Four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent collided and merged with the Douluo Continent. The soul masters of the Sun Moon Continent were adept at crafting soul tools and were known as soul tool masters.
The soul tool master system is currently in no way inferior to the soul master system, and in the future, it may even surpass it."
Ye Xishui provided a brief explanation.
"So it was that tremor."
Qian Renxue recalled that there had indeed been a massive tremor several thousand years ago.
"Consider your God Trial complete."
She pointed out a strand of Angel Divine Power, which landed on the Holy Sword as a reward for the God Trial.
"The little one is not bad. Work hard; the grade of a God Trial is not set in stone."
Bibi Dong was also quite satisfied and pointed out a strand of Rakshasa Divine Power as a reward, aiming to increase the child's affinity with the Rakshasa Divine Power.
With this Rakshasa Divine Power integrated, it would be enough to elevate that blade martial soul, allowing it to bear a higher level of God Trial.
"Thank you, Angel God!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Hao was beaming with joy.
"Hao'er also excavated the graves of certain individuals from that era and obtained this book of Godhood Notations. He also retrieved the Sea God's inheritance left in the Tang Sect from the hands of the Strength Clan.
The notes record a key point: they possessed a large number of Immortal Grasses. The reason the Shrek Seven Devils were able to become gods was largely due to the role of these Immortal Grasses."
Not yet satisfied, Ye Xishui continued to vie for opportunities for her disciple, producing the notebook as she spoke.
Bibi Dong's divine sense, filled with curiosity, drew the notebook over to flip through it, and Qian Renxue could not help but lean in to watch as well.
She had also felt that something was wrong about all the Shrek Seven Devils becoming gods, and those people had grown far too quickly back then.
"So it was by consuming Immortal Grasses to improve rapidly. No wonder they advanced so quickly back then and defeated Na'er and the others."
After quickly flipping through it, Bibi Dong's divine sense realized the truth.
"If such a treasure land truly exists, given Tang San's temperament, he would inevitably occupy it as his own private property and certainly set up contingencies."
She set her sights on the place where the Immortal Grasses were nurtured; if possible, she would destroy it or seize it, ruining Tang San's foundation here.
"Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!"
"Sea God's Heart!"
"What a fine Sea God Poseidon!"
Qian Renxue, however, was furious. She understood a doubt from those years: her excessive admiration for Tang San, which had even led her to spare him several times.
After that battle, she had reflected on it and always felt something was off. Only now did she realize she had been schemed against—schemed against by the Sea God Poseidon.
She had once tried to use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud of the Heaven Dou imperial family; her head had spun for a moment, but she had ignored it, thinking nothing of it.
It was likely that she had been discovered by the Sea God's divine sense within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud at that time, and a thought had been implanted in her soul, which led to her repeated leniency toward Tang San later on.
Moreover, judging from the records in this notebook, that Sea God Poseidon was a character with a sordid side; it was no surprise he would do such a thing.
"Just like me, I was schemed against by the Asura God back then. I should never have obtained that Slaughter God's Domain, and I certainly shouldn't have let Nana obtain it either."
Bibi Dong sighed; she had realized the same thing later on.
Logically, the Rakshasa God and the Asura God were both deities who governed evil thoughts. Even if the Asura God was more powerful, he should not have suppressed her to such an extent.
Only afterward did she suspect the Slaughter God's Domain obtained from the City of Slaughter. Combined with some of Na'er's actions, it was clear they had been schemed against long ago—schemed against by the Asura God and the Sea God.
Furthermore, that Tang San was also strange. According to her investigations, his growth trajectory was wrong, and he possessed secret techniques and inheritances from unknown origins; his identity was definitely highly problematic.
Connecting this to Tang Hao and Tang Chen, who also possessed the Slaughter God's Domain, everything pointed to that First Generation Asura God.
And according to these notes, that Asura God was far too doting on Tang San; he didn't even make him undergo the God Trials, directly passing down the godhood and even working in the shadows to allow Tang San to be resurrected from the dead.
