A Pair of Gods, Potential for Godhood (Seeking Follow-ups)

"What? Th-that's true?"

Lin Mo cried out in disbelief, but seeing Qian Daoliu's utterly certain expression, he was suddenly at a loss again.

"Aren't you cultivating the Angel Cultivation Method I gave you?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Mo strangely, his eyes full of confusion, seemingly puzzled as to why Lin Mo would ask such a question.

"Yes, I am... Why?"

Lin Mo answered hesitantly. His mind seemed to have finally caught up, and he looked at Qian Daoliu in disbelief.

"Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"The Angel Cultivation Method I gave you produces soul power that is upright and peaceful, without any attributes mixed into it."

Lin Mo naturally knew this. He nodded, but he still did not understand exactly how the method Qian Daoliu mentioned could solve this problem.

"It's actually very simple. The main reason your two martial souls are conflicting is because you added attributes to the soul power you cultivate."

"And you added them within your body."

"So the attributes are incompatible with each other, and conflict naturally arises."

"But if you store your soul power normally without adding attributes to it, only adding attributes through your martial soul when using soul skills, wouldn't that resolve the conflict?"

Lin Mo froze for two seconds. The expression on his face was extraordinarily varied—one could say it was quite spectacular.

"That's right. How did I not think of that? So it could be done this way."

Qian Daoliu chuckled softly before speaking again.

"I believe my words have already penetrated your soul."

Qian Daoliu seemed to recall something. His right hand unconsciously tapped against the tabletop.

"Actually, the cultivation methods passed down by the major clans and across the continent all possess attributes. Very few cultivate without attributes as we do."

"That is also why there are so few powerful experts with twin martial souls on the Douluo Continent."

"Over the ten-thousand-year span of the Douluo Continent, twin martial souls may be special, but they are not rare."

"Why could none of them achieve greatness? It was both because they were too greedy in their youth and attached soul rings simultaneously."

"And because they brought attributes into their bodies, causing attribute conflicts."

"In fact, our ancient records already documented this: if twin martial souls can be cultivated successfully, they will absolutely be stronger than a single martial soul."

"After all, once they reach the Title Douluo realm, they can completely pile up their soul power through the quality of their second martial soul's soul rings."

Qian Daoliu's words also made Lin Mo realize something: why were twin martial souls so sought after in the era of Douluo Continent I, provided they could be cultivated successfully?

On one hand, the additional soul rings could rapidly increase one's soul power, while also granting multiple soul skills and enhancing one's strength.

On the other hand, if one could successfully overcome the trial of twin martial souls and become a top-tier expert, then that person's comprehension, strength, and luck would absolutely be heaven-defying.

Why could Tang San ignore the risks brought by twin martial souls in the original work? Because he cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

After all, logically speaking, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul was known for its formidable life energy, while the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul was known for its power and tyranny.

There was also a hidden risk of attribute conflict between them.

Tang San in the original work had also stumbled into a path similar to the one Qian Daoliu was proposing now.

Yet Bibi Dong, the other extreme case from the era of Douluo Continent I, was entirely different. She did not fear attribute backlash at all, because her Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor martial souls possessed similar attributes.

This was a typical case of martial souls from the same lineage, where the concept of attribute conflict simply did not exist.

As for why this concept no longer existed after Douluo Continent I, that was even more bizarre.

Because the people of the continent had all become smarter. Cultivation methods had long since changed and become attribute-free; otherwise, it would have been impossible for everyone to use the same cultivation method.

Thus, the problem of attribute conflict naturally no longer existed, and soul masters with twin martial souls could develop more effectively, rather than being like those in Douluo Continent I, who might suddenly die one day from attribute conflict.

"But once soul masters reach higher realms, aren't they supposed to merge into one with their martial souls?"

"Wouldn't their soul power inevitably become tainted with attributes?"

Lin Mo scratched his head. This was a question he had been considering all along. After all, the further a soul master progressed in cultivation, the deeper their connection with their martial soul needed to become.

Especially after obtaining the seventh soul ring, becoming a Soul Sage, and gaining a martial soul true body, that connection would absolutely grow stronger by the day.

"That's right. After obtaining your martial soul true body, your connection with your martial soul will indeed deepen, but..."

"What problem is there with that? Not to mention whether your second martial soul will gain additional soul rings after your first martial soul reaches seven rings."

"Even if you truly cultivate your first martial soul to its limit and begin attaching soul rings to your second martial soul, so what?"

"You can't activate both martial souls at the same time anyway, can you?"

"As long as the soul power in your body only transforms toward the attribute of one martial soul, wouldn't that be enough?"

Qian Daoliu paused again at this point before continuing.

"If you're worried about what happens after level ninety-five, then there's even less reason to worry."

"Because you can completely rely on your second martial soul to directly stack up your soul power. You won't need to comprehend your martial soul as though seeking enlightenment."

"Later on, if possible, the Enshrinement Hall can even step in and make every soul ring of your second martial soul a hundred-thousand-year one."

As Qian Daoliu spoke, his eyes lit up. He had originally believed Lin Mo's talent still fell somewhat short of Qian Renxue's, that there seemed to be no chance of him catching up to her.

But now, it seemed that was not the case. The late-stage advantage of twin martial souls was enormous.

If every soul ring of Lin Mo's second martial soul was over a hundred thousand years old, then Lin Mo might well have a chance of reaching godhood.

After all, if Lin Mo still could not become a god under those circumstances, Qian Daoliu truly would not know how one was supposed to become a god.

At that thought, Qian Daoliu grew immensely excited. The prospect of two gods rising from one family was right before his eyes.

Qian Daoliu quickly came back to his senses and steadied himself. It was still far too early to think about such things; the two of them had merely obtained tickets to enter the path to godhood.

They simply possessed the qualifications to become gods.

Yet if Qian Daoliu were to look back on this day decades later, he would likely sigh with emotion.

He had never expected that he had still been too conservative in his estimate.

His Spirit Hall would produce three gods from one family.

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Lin Mo was also extremely excited. The Enshrinement Hall's resources truly were on another level—this was no joke.

In all the world, only the Enshrinement Hall could promise to get him a complete set of hundred-thousand-year soul rings.

Even if many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts on land had gone into hiding, weren't there still plenty in the sea?

What? You say Sea God Island is there too, and as believers of the Sea God, wouldn't they interfere?

Could they even manage it? With just those few people, couldn't they simply kill the soul beasts and run?

What? Would Sea God Island really fall out with Spirit Hall over a few hundred-thousand-year soul beasts?

Surely they didn't think that just because the Sea God was a god, the Angel God was not?
