A God King's Choice

Tie Li became a candidate because he was the only Soul Master to gather all the Thunder God Marks.

A complete Thunder God Mark was what mattered most.

Deep within White Ground lay the Thundering Nether Prison Vine. Tie Li had long noticed this. The Thundering Nether Prison Vine possessed the Thunder God's bloodline; legend had it that when the Thunder God fell, His corpse landed on the Douluo Continent, giving birth to it.

Yet there was a Thunderstone in White Ground, and the Thunder God Mark upon it was crucial. Tie Li had obtained this portion of the Thunder God Mark in White Ground, allowing him to complete the mark and open the inheritance within the Lightning Pool.

The fact that both appeared in White Ground could not help but invite deeper thought.

Compared with the disciples of the Wind Thunder Sect throughout the generations, or even the earlier disciples of the Thunder God Sect, Tie Li's talent was not among the very best, but his luck was the greatest. He had obtained the most important Thunder God Mark.

Or perhaps fate itself had allowed Tie Li to obtain this Thunder God Mark.

White Ground was filled with lightning-attributed plant Soul Beasts. The lightning power they gathered was something no Soul Master could overlook. Forcibly entering White Ground offered them no benefits whatsoever.

It was a gathering place for countless century-old and millennium-old plant Soul Beasts. Killing them would yield only century-old or millennium-old Soul Rings, yet the danger was no less than hunting Soul Beasts over fifty thousand years old. The drawbacks far outweighed the gains.

Thus, in the eyes of countless Soul Masters, White Ground was merely a dangerous place, not worth risking their lives over.

At first, Tie Li cultivated along the outskirts of White Ground.
