The Mystery of Godhood, and Dugu Bo the Finally Liberated Workhorse

Ice Empress and Snow Empress were very interested in the divine mysteries that Ye Qing suddenly mentioned.

Ye Qing's lips curled slightly as he slowly explained, "In the understanding of us human Soul Master, above the level 99 Peerless Douluo lies the supreme level 100 barrier."

"I read in ancient books that reaching level 100 means entering the realm of gods."

"But this doesn't count as true godhood and ascension!"

Ice Empress's crystal-clear tail stinger trembled slightly. "Then what truly constitutes becoming a god? Stop keeping me in suspense!"

Ye Qing smiled and held up the first finger, "The core lies in two words—divine position!"

"There are countless rules in the universe, and every god who becomes a god must wield a unique fundamental law of the universe."

"This is the divine position!"

"Only by gaining the approval of a god and perfectly fusing one's divine body, soul, and position with that godhood can one break through the boundary, ascend to the Divine Realm, and obtain eternal life."

This grand concept of becoming a god and ascending to the Divine Realm is far too avant-garde.

Even though they were the overlords of the Far North who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, their knowledge of "gods" was limited to ancient, unfounded legends.

Snow Empress's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a look of unprecedented seriousness flashing in them. "According to you, where did that divine position come from?"

"Could it be that there are already established divine positions in this world waiting for future generations to inherit?"

"Snow Empress is indeed exceptionally intelligent."

Ye Qing seized the opportunity to flatter him, then solemnly boasted, "According to the scattered records I found in an ancient scroll, in ancient times, the gods left behind their respective places of inheritance on the Douluo Continent."

"As long as you pass the test left by the gods, you can inherit the divine position left by the gods and ascend to heaven in one fell swoop!"

"Of course, besides inheriting the divine positions of their predecessors, a very small number of exceptionally talented geniuses might also be able to forcibly break through the shackles of heaven and earth and Self-Created Godhood based on their own inherent abilities!"

"However, Self-Created Godhood position is extremely difficult; it's unknown whether anyone throughout history has ever accomplished it."

Ye Qing pretended to be serious on the surface, but inwardly he was already chuckling to himself.

Inheriting the divine position?

He knew perfectly well the Sea God's Nine Trials on Sea God Island and the Asura God's Inheritance in the Slaughter City.

But he'd be a fool to spill all that crucial secret now.

"Divine positions... the land of inheritance..."

Ice Empress muttered in a daze, his small, emerald-like eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

These secrets concerning the highest mysteries of heaven and earth were so profound that this mere human boy with the cultivation of Quasi-Soul Emperor could casually divulge all sorts of key details.

Snow Empress stared silently at Ye Qing, her eyes as deep and unfathomable as the polar ocean.

The Ye Qing before her was absolutely the most peculiar and bizarre human she had ever seen in her hundreds of thousands of years of life.

Her Martial Soul was Chaos Green Lotus that even she couldn't recognize.

It also comes with a Chaos World that can vaguely conceal the secrets of heaven and the Heavenly Tribulation.

Moreover, he possesses the powerful talent of having two Soul Ring every ten levels.

Even though he only has level 60 Soul Power, he already has two 100,000-year red rings on his body.

What incredible talent!

If it's true that someone has emerged out of nowhere and broken through to godhood in the Douluo Continent over the past ten thousand years,

The young man named Ye Qing in front of me definitely has a very high chance.

Even if we take a step back,

Even if he cannot Self-Created Godhood in the future,

With his astonishing talent and potential, the chances of him being qualified to inherit a godhood are quite high.

If he can truly become a god, then his earlier statement about "soul sacrifice and the resurrection of gods" might not be just empty rhetoric!

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that what Ye Qing said is true.

Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in Snow Empress's beautiful eyes.

"Ye Qing." The Snow Empress's clear, cold voice was like a flowing mountain stream. "I'm making a decision."

"In the days to come, I will remain hidden in your Chaos World, following you into the human world, observing your every word and action."

"If the potential and character you demonstrate can truly gain my approval,"

The Snow Empress paused slightly, then made a shocking promise that was enough to shatter the Ice Empress.

"I can personally hunt down the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring you need to break through your bottleneck in the future."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Ice Empress's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

She screamed, "Xue'er, what are you saying?"

"You are the supreme ruler of the Far North, the Snow Empress whom hundreds of thousands of Soul Beast worship!"

"How could you help a human Soul Master hunt down Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

If this gets out, wouldn't it be a betrayal of the entire Soul Beast Clan?

This is a reactionary and perverse act!

Ice Empress wished he could rush up and tear this human brat who had bewitched Snow Empress to pieces.

Faced with Ice Empress's furious outburst, Snow Empress merely turned her head and glanced at her with calm, unwavering blue eyes.

The majesty and coldness in those eyes made the Ice Empress's delicate body stiffen as she roared.

Ice Empress's complaints were stuck in their throats, and they pouted in grievance.

"Bing'er, calm down."

The Snow Empress spoke coldly, each word a gem. "Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles."

"As long as our lives can be saved, any sacrifice is worthwhile."

Upon hearing Snow Empress's promise, Ye Qing's eyes lit up like two large high beams!

They made a killing!

We've really made a killing this time!

I originally thought that getting the two emperors of the Far North to be my personal bodyguards would be the best I could do.

Unexpectedly, the Snow Empress even offered after-sales service, willing to personally help him Soul Hunting rings.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help but picture the weathered face of his Old Poison, Dugu Bo.

"Sigh, at least the Old Poison can finally catch his breath..." Ye Qing thought to himself with a sigh.

Back then,

Every time I went to Dugu Bo for help hunting for Soul Ring,

The Old Poison master looked as if he'd seen a deadly plague.

Especially when he heard someone ask for ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years, Dugu Bo wanted nothing more than to kill him.

Every time Dugu Bo was there to support Ye Qing, he was filled with anxiety.

Now it's all good!

The ruler of the Far North personally stepped in as a henchman.

The Old Poison is finally free from this dual torment of mind and body.

This is definitely a life-saving favor for my future father-in-law!

Ye Qing took a deep breath to calm his ecstatic emotions and, quite appropriately, bowed to the Snow Empress.

"Your Majesty the Snow Empress possesses unparalleled foresight; I admire you to the core!"

"Since Your Majesty the Snow Empress appreciates me so much, I will shamelessly accept this promise."

"You two can rest assured, I, Ye Qing, am absolutely not the kind of person who would abandon someone after using them."

"On the day I ascend to the highest divine position, I will grant you both eternal life!"

Ice Empress rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Anyone can talk a good game. Does she really think she can become a god?"

Upon hearing this, Snow Empress's cool lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.

"There's no time to lose; your titled guard is still waiting anxiously on the outskirts of the ice field."

"Ye Qing, begin your Chaos World. This Emperor and Bing'er will accompany you into the mortal realm."
