Faith

Back then, Mu Han had become the "god" of the Soul Master World through the Beast Soul Weaponization Project.

His influence had even surpassed that of his senior martial uncle, the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua.

After all, Divine Craftsmen had not been unheard of throughout history; quite a few had appeared over the years.

But in twenty thousand years of history, only three people had ever changed the course of the Soul Master World like this.

The first was Thousand-Hand Asura Tang San, from twenty thousand years ago.

The second was Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, from ten thousand years ago.

The third was Mu Han.

And after the Beast Soul Weaponization Project, Mu Han had also put forward the Soul Power Sublimation Theory.

One aspect involved using rare natural treasures to alter the properties of Soul Power.

For example, a wind-attribute agility-type Soul Master might refine a fire-attribute natural treasure.

Fire attributes would then emerge within their Soul Power Vortex, causing their Soul Power to undergo a qualitative transformation.

The Soul Core they condensed in the future could also develop fire attributes.

It might even trigger a Second Awakening of their Martial Soul, granting them greater attack power without sacrificing speed.

Another aspect involved improving the quality of Soul Power through this method.

That meant refining the Soul Power of a powerful expert.

The Soul Power within the Soul Power Vortex was liquid, but the Soul Power outside it was still gaseous.

After a Soul Core was condensed, all Soul Power would become liquid, while the Soul Core itself would be solid Soul Power.

If someone above the Seven-Ring Soul Sage level poured their Soul Power into another person,

it could not only speed up the formation of the Soul Power Vortex, but also improve the quality of the Soul Core they condensed later.

However, though it sounded easy, it was extremely difficult in practice.

That was because everyone's Soul Power was different.

Never mind refining someone else's Soul Power.

Even natural treasures could not be fused with just any substance.

If a person's Soul Power repelled it, they would not only fail to transform; they would suffer a backlash and be seriously injured.

Natural treasures were inanimate, after all, but the Soul Power of high-ranking Soul Masters possessed a degree of sentience.

Generally speaking, this could only be done between people with the same Martial Soul.

For example, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Titled Douluo could pour his Soul Power into a Six-Ring Soul Emperor who also possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

That would improve the quality of the Soul Core the Six-Ring Soul Emperor condensed in the future.

The benefit of this was a return to ancestral bloodlines.

In fact, Martial Soul inheritance also depended on bloodlines.

Many ancient Martial Soul clans had all kinds of inheritances.

These included not only treasures, but also their own methods of cultivation.

The Clear Sky Sect's various hammer techniques were one example.

And as these were passed down from generation to generation, more and more inheritances would emerge.

These traditions would not simply disappear.

Even the Tang Sect had nearly been wiped out ten thousand years ago, yet its inheritance survived. The legacies of these great powers were even less likely to be lost.

Yet these powers had no way to reach greater heights; some were even gradually falling into decline.

The main reason was that their Martial Soul inheritances had weakened.

Take the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, for example.

They required every Soul Ring to come from a draconic Soul Beast.

But just how rare were draconic Soul Beasts?

The direct-line prodigies could manage it, but the other branches did not have that kind of luck.

In the end, many had to make do with Soul Beasts that merely possessed dragon blood.

Their standards for Soul Rings had fallen again and again, especially after the age of Soul Spirits began.

As a result, the descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were like weasels giving birth to mice—each generation was worse than the last.

The same thing had happened to many Soul Master clans.

But with Mu Han's method, bloodlines could be strengthened and even restored to their ancestral state.

After all, it let mid-ranked Soul Masters come into contact with the power of high-ranked Soul Masters ahead of time.

Once these mid-ranked Soul Masters reached the higher ranks, their strength would naturally rise further.

The Beast Soul Weaponization Project had mainly brought about lateral mutations.

If Mu Han hadn't somehow managed to create Artificial Soul Saints, its influence would never have been so great.

But the Soul Power Sublimation Theory truly enabled a Second Awakening.

This was a wondrous technique that could genuinely let someone achieve a Second Awakening of their Martial Soul!

And unlike the Beast Soul Weaponization Project, Mu Han had only made a theory public.

With the Soul Power Sublimation Theory, Mu Han had made not only his research findings public, but the complete technology as well.

He was benefiting the Soul Master World without asking for anything in return!

The last time Mu Han was called "a god who had not ascended," quite a few people had questioned the claim.

At the very least, he had not been qualified to stand alongside Thousand-Hand Asura Tang San and Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.

His contributions to the Soul Master World had not even surpassed those of the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua!

But now, Mu Han had earned the right to be called a "god"!

Still, this was only a good beginning.

After completing research into both Beast Soul Weaponization and Soul Power Sublimation,

who knew what else Mu Han might come up with in the future?

What if he found an even better method?

Before the Soul Power Sublimation Theory appeared, if anyone had said that, the vast majority of Soul Masters would have scoffed.

But the theory's arrival had shown the entire Soul Master World a miracle, and everything had changed.

Their confidence in Mu Han was now unprecedented!

And throughout all this, Mu Han could faintly sense a fervent conviction gathering.

Having read the original story, Mu Han knew very well that this power was the legendary Power of Faith.

Twenty thousand years ago, Tang San had already died, yet he had still come back to life.

The Divine Realm had certainly intervened.

But the Power of Faith had also played a part.

Then there were Heaven-Propping Douluo Yun Ming and Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie.

The original story had mentioned that the two of them once fought and ended in a draw.

But before Yun Ming died, he had already condensed the embryonic form of a divine position.

Chen Xinjie, despite possessing a divine weapon inherited from his family, had failed to condense a divine position—not even an embryonic one.

Talent was certainly a factor. After all, when the two had fought to a draw, Yun Ming still had room to grow.

But there was another reason: after that battle, Chen Xinjie had publicly claimed that he lost.

Yun Ming became the strongest person on Douluo Planet. That status, too, allowed him to absorb the Power of Faith.

But Mu Han also knew that this ethereal power could probably only be wielded at the God Origin Realm.

Although Mu Han was only at the Spirit Abyss Realm, his spiritual power had already transformed from Spirit Consciousness into Divine Consciousness.

That was how he could sense and absorb this power.

Yun Ming had only come into contact with this power after becoming a quasi-god.

He and Chen Xinjie had chosen to fight beyond the planet precisely because they sought a higher realm.

Even if someone condensed the embryonic form of a divine position, they still could not use it as a tenth Soul Ring unless they had reached level one hundred.

But Mu Han was only level fifty, a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

He could use this method to condense his fifth Soul Ring.

When all was said and done, wasn't this so-called tenth Soul Ring just a divine position?

The Angel God Qian Renxue, from twenty thousand years ago, had a tenth Soul Ring that looked just like a backdrop of six angel wings.

Mu Han also intended to use this method to condense a divine position.
