I Can Sponsor Your Ascension to Godhood
"Become a god?!"
These two words exploded in Lin Xia's mind like a thunderclap! He suddenly looked up and met Gu Yuena's purple starry eyes, which seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe.
My heart started pounding uncontrollably.
God!
This word carries immense Qian Jun for any living being on the Douluo Continent!
It represents the ultimate power, the sublimation of life, and the supreme realm that breaks through the shackles of the mundane and is close to eternity!
It is a dream that countless Soul Master pursue their entire lives but can never achieve!
How could Lin Xia not have thought of that?
From the moment I awakened my Martial Soul, from the moment I learned that the Soul Master cultivation system ultimately leads to the inheritance of the gods.
The words "becoming a god" are like the most dazzling star in the night sky; though distant, they always shine with an alluring light deep within our hearts.
Especially after he gained the approval of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's essence and personally experienced that near-god-level power, the door to the supreme hall seemed to be opening a crack in front of him!
Silence spread through the tranquil lakebed. A fierce internal struggle raged within Lin Xia.
Lying in front of someone like Gu Yuena is undoubtedly foolish and dangerous.
Finally, he took a deep breath, met those all-seeing eyes, and followed his deepest Covet, nodding slowly and firmly, his voice carrying a hint of barely Frisk excitement and awe.
"I've thought about it! I definitely have! To become a god who controls the laws and looks down upon all living beings—that's the ultimate dream of every Soul Master."
Lin Xia did not hide his longing.
"Very good."
The moment Lin Xia nodded, a clear smile bloomed on Gu Yuena's face, which was as white as a snow lotus Ice Seal for ten thousand years, for the first time in front of him.
The smile was extremely faint, like the first ripple on the surface of a lake in early spring, fleeting yet possessing a breathtaking charm, as if it contained the brilliance of the entire starry sky.
However, this smile was not pure joy; it was more like confirmation that a profound scheme had achieved its initial goal, carrying an indescribable sense of authority and control.
"I can sponsor your ascension to godhood."
Gu Yuena's voice remained calm, yet it seemed to carry the power of Thunderous Might, each word striking Lin Xia's heart.
"I will spare no resource from my Soul Beast Clan to pave your path to godhood. Whether it's rare treasures to temper your physique, trials to hone your spirit, or even... crucial clues about the Godhood Inheritance, I can provide it all."
Lin Xia's breathing instantly became rapid!
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest!
Sponsor your path to godhood!
What an enormous Captivate!
It's a promise that would drive any Super Douluo crazy!
The Soul Beast Clan has accumulated a foundation over millions of years, and its energy and resources are unfathomable. If he could obtain their full support, his chances of becoming a god would increase many times over!
However, after the great surprise came a wake-up call.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, especially not something as extraordinary as becoming a god! Just who is Gu Yuena?
The price she demands for such conditions will inevitably be...
What price will be paid?
Lin Xia's voice was slightly Frisk, and the excitement in her eyes was quickly replaced by seriousness.
He forced himself to calm down and looked intently at Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena's smile faded, and the light in her purple starry eyes became incredibly deep and sharp, like two divine swords piercing through the mists of fate.
Her voice suddenly turned low and chilling, containing the hatred accumulated over millennia and the desperate determination of a people:
"The price is—when that day comes, when my Soul Beast Clan has accumulated enough power to launch a counterattack against the Divine Realm and seek revenge against those treacherous gods who slaughtered our race..."
Her words paused slightly, and the invisible pressure, like a tangible tide, instantly filled the entire lakebed space, even causing the Alto Mare of the Lake of Life to seem to stop flowing.
Her gaze Lock-On firmly on Lin Xia, and she declared, word by word, with absolute clarity:
"I need you on our side! I need you, Lin Xia, to lend a helping hand after you ascend to godhood! With the power of a god, let us avenge our dragon race! Let us seek justice for the countless dragon souls that have perished! Will you agree?"
Boom--!
Lin Xia felt her mind go completely blank!
The Divine Realm! A counterattack on the Divine Realm?!
Gu Yuena's goal is so grand and insane!
She wasn't trying to fight against a particular god or pantheon; she wanted to overthrow the entire ruling order of the Divine Realm!
Challenge the colossal God Realm Committee —that high and mighty entity that controls the life and death of countless planes and possesses a vast number of First-Level God, Second-Level God, priests, and God Realm Hunter!
Lin Xia's lips twitched uncontrollably, and an absurdly chilling sensation instantly shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!
He was just a "small" Soul Master who had just escaped the threat of death and wasn't even Spirit Saint yet!
Even if he has extraordinary opportunities and potential, even if Gu Yuena devotes all her efforts to helping him become a god, so what?
How many main gods are there in the Divine Realm?
The Sea God, the Asura God, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the God of Evil, the Godess of Kindness... each one is a being who controls the laws of a universe and possesses boundless power!
Below them are a vast number of Second-Level God, Third-Class Deity, priests, and God Realm Hunter!
It was a colossal behemoth with a complete system and a hierarchical structure of power that inspired despair!
Even if Lin Xia were to miraculously become a god, what role could a "new god" like him play in a counterattack of this magnitude?
They probably wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder!
They will be crushed into dust in an instant by the counterattack of the Divine Realm!
"Your Excellency the Silver Dragon King..."
Lin Xia's voice carried an undisguised bitterness and resistance.
"Your ambition... is far too grand! The Divine Realm... what kind of existence is that? Gods are as numerous as clouds, even if I... even if I were fortunate enough to become a god, in such a great war, I'm afraid..."
Lin Xia didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was crystal clear—this was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a suicide mission!
Gu Yuena took in the intense worry, fear, and even the hidden hesitation in Lin Xia's eyes.
She didn't get angry, as if she had already anticipated his reaction.
In those deep purple eyes, instead, a knowing glimpse of human nature flashed.
"You think this is too crazy? You think that even if you become a god, you'd be like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of a deity?"
Gu Yuena's voice remained calm, even carrying a strange guiding quality.
"Lin Xia, you only see the vastness of the Divine Realm's power, but you've overlooked a fundamental issue that concerns your own very destiny."
She leaned forward slightly, her gaze landing squarely on Lin Xia, or more precisely, on the Bulbasaur beside him, which seemed somewhat nervous and uneasy from sensing a powerful presence and was gently touching Lin Xia's arm with its Ivysaur for comfort.
"Your Martial Soul, Ivysaur."
Gu Yuena's tone became unusually clear and slow, each word like a heavy hammer, striking Lin Xia's defenses.
"In my perception, in the eyes of all the Ferocious Beast, including Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi JI..."
Her gaze lingered for a moment on the Four-Colored Light Wheel on Ivysaur's back; the light seemed to dim under Gu Yuena's gaze.
"It is not merely a tool for your battle, nor simply a vessel for your Soul Power. It is a living being with its own independent will and a complete soul essence—a life form! A life form that, in essence, is no different from us Soul Beast!"
