Creating a Godhood, a Conspiracy Against the Qiangu Family
Golden light rippled and wafted, a gentle power of light permeated the air, and the entire interior of the Golden Ancient Tree was filled with peace. However, Elder Jin was filled with melancholy, and his figure even appeared somewhat desolate.
Elder Jin slowly stretched out his hand, and a emerald green light appeared in his palm. Then, a surge of life force burst forth, and the entire space was instantly filled with rich vitality.
In his hand was a teardrop-shaped seed, emerald green in color, engraved with ancient golden patterns. Sparkling points of life swirled around it, cheering and leaping as if it were the very source of life.
"Seed of Life, you are both my strength and my weakness." Gazing at the Seed of Life in his hand, Elder Jin sighed deeply.
In the depths of his being, he had already sensed that his Old Plane Spirit had passed away. Therefore, the next target of those two would definitely be the Seed of Life in his hands, and perhaps even the Golden Ancient Tree that connected him to the Life Origin of the Douluo Continent.
"Blue Silver Emperor, are you really that ruthless?" Elder Jin's gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of the ancient tree, looking into another space within the Golden Ancient Tree.
Within that space, blue-gold light rippled around, and large patches of Blue Silver Grass Blue Silver Grass gathered together. At the center of these patches, a thick Blue Silver Grass stood out prominently, its body covered in golden patterns that shimmered with each breath, making it quite mystical.
But from Elder Jin's perspective, the roots of this Blue Silver Emperor were subtly spreading towards the trunk of his Golden Ancient Tree...
"Seed of Life, what use are you to me? You are truly destined to bring about my demise."
As soon as the Blue Silver Emperor moved, Elder Jin quickly shifted his gaze and, with a backhand motion, retrieved the Seed of Life back into his body.
At this moment, his only means of survival was this Seed of Life, which held all his hopes.
"I've walked on thin ice all this way, will I ever make it to the other side?"
Elder Jin let out a final sigh of regret, then his expression returned to calm, and his body once again transformed into a sky full of golden light, slowly disappearing into the space.
At this moment, Yun Ming Sea God Pavilion finally gave up staring at the Vast Sea Universe Crystal.
"It's all about timing and fate. It seems that trying to break through with the help of external things is ultimately futile; one must rely on oneself." Yun Ming pushed away the Vast Sea Universe Crystal on the table, completely letting go of his expectations.
Ya Li, standing nearby, softly comforted him, "Brother Ming, how's your Godhood construction going? Any new breakthroughs?"
Mentioning this matter, Yun Ming's eyes narrowed, but a hint of pride appeared between his brows. "We're still exploring, but everything is difficult at the beginning. Once we complete the first step, there will be opportunities for the rest."
Indeed, after confirming the disappearance of the Divine Realm, he consulted numerous ancient texts and learned that the Ming Capital of the Divine Realm had their Godhood positions passed down through generations. Thus, he made a decision that countless people dared not even imagine: to Self-Created Godhood!
Even in the long history of the Douluo Continent, very few people have been able to achieve this.
"That's good." Ya Li saw her husband's attention shift from the Vast Sea Universe Crystal, and a gentle smile flashed across her pretty face.
"By the way, Ya Li, after you break through to the Limit Douluo, you can also try to construct Godhood. After all, you possess a large amount of Faith Power, so it might be easier for you than for me," Yun Ming said to Ya Li, with a hint of sarcasm.
Ya Li's Martial Soul is extremely special; it is a very rare Prayer Angel Martial Soul. Cultivating the Soul Power of this kind of Martial Soul is extremely difficult, and the correct way to cultivate it is not through meditation, but through helping others.
When helping others, the Angel of Hope absorbs the Faith Power of the person being saved, thereby enhancing Ya Li's cultivation. Furthermore, Ya Li has been kind-hearted since childhood and often helps others.
On one occasion, a widespread plague struck the mainland. Ya Li, disregarding her own life force, traveled to more than ten Federation administrative provinces, exhausting her fifty years of lifespan in just fifteen days.
When Ya Li awoke from her life-consuming coma, she had unexpectedly leaped from Soul Saint to Titled Douluo, skipping two major ranks.
All of this is due to the Faith Power, and the source of this immense Faith Power is the refugees that Ya Li saved.
"The Faith Power is rare and precious. In fact, after leaving the Federation, I didn't know how to use it. But compared to those precious lives, I didn't save them for the sake of this Faith Power." A trace of pity flashed in Ya Li's gentle eyes. Although she left the Federation and joined Shrek Academy, her original intention to save lives had not changed.
"Yes, it's all up to you." Yun Ming nodded slightly and said softly, but another figure appeared in his mind.
"Chen Xinjie, I wonder how things are going on your end, any new developments...?"
Heaven Dou City.
Inside a strange underground Blood Altar chamber.
"Still haven't found the Dark Bell?"
The Dark Hummingbird sat cross-legged on the Blood Altar, picked up the teacup in front of it, and asked in a somewhat gloomy tone.
"No... no, and all the cultists involved in that operation vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever," a man in black robes said tremblingly from below the Blood Altar.
A full week has passed since the kidnapping of Mo Lan. Not only did the operation fail, but all the people they deployed have disappeared, including a Heavenly King.
This was unprecedented for their Holy Spirit Cult, especially since their target this time was just an ordinary person.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash." The Dark Hummingbird's deep blue eyes flashed coldly, and it snorted.
In truth, what he truly cared about was not the believers, nor even the Dark Bell, but the Underworld Emperor.
However, he still doesn't have a detailed understanding of what happened on the Soul Guidance Train. He doesn't know exactly what happened back then, and this feeling of being out of control makes him extremely uncomfortable.
Upon seeing this, the man in black robes repeatedly admitted his mistakes, his body trembling like a leaf, "It's all my fault, it's all my incompetence."
"I will personally investigate this matter and recall all the personnel I sent out. I have more important matters to ask you to attend to now," the Dark Hummingbird said calmly, taking a sip of tea to calm his mind.
"Please give your orders, Heavenly King." The man in black robes secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, searching for a missing Heavenly King was too difficult for him; it would be better to find another mission.
"From now on, you will secretly contact the Qiangu Family of the Spirit Pagoda and try your best to establish contact with them, or even... a cooperative relationship." The Dark Hummingbird's eyes suddenly darkened, and it said in a deep voice, word by word.
"Huh? Me?"
The man in black robes was stunned and pointed at himself in disbelief, asking the question.
"Hmm?" The Dark Hummingbird frowned, its expression displeased.
"Heavenly King Majesty, this subordinate cannot do it. The Qiangu Family is currently at its zenith, its power reaching its peak. Moreover, the Spirit Pagoda is a righteous force; how could they possibly cooperate with us..." the black-robed man said with a troubled expression.
The Qiangu Family not only has a huge foundation within the Spirit Pagoda, but also has many henchmen in the Sun Moon Federation. In terms of family power, it can rank among the top three in the entire continent.
"Hmph, the more they do this, the more they'll cooperate with us." The Dark Hummingbird snorted, a glint of shrewdness flashing in its eyes. "The higher a power tries to grow, the deeper its roots will extend. And as the power expands, its size increases, inevitably creating vulnerabilities and allowing rotten flesh to form..."
"And we vultures lurking in the shadows are after this rotting flesh."
As the Dark Hummingbird finished speaking, the Blood Altar chamber fell silent, with only the Youyou crackling of burning candles remaining.
"Understood, subordinate." After a moment, the man in black robes also realized what was happening and said with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
The Heavenly King before him was indeed worthy of being someone who had once obtained Shrek Academy's secrets; his wisdom was simply unmatched.
"Remember, the Qiangu Family and Shrek Academy are at odds. It would be best to use this to provoke a conflict between them, escalate the tension, and ultimately let the Qiangu Family know that they need us."
The Dark Hummingbird narrowed its eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing on its lips.
