Plane God-level Powerhouse Cultivation Plan

Ye Gu Yi touched the lingering coolness on her forehead and sensed the clear Evil Soul Master Distribution Map in her mind. The excitement and gratitude in her heart had already become indescribable.

The Primordial Unity Immortal Herb strengthening her foundation, the mark freely replicating soul skills, real-time tracking of Evil Soul Masters... Every one of the three great benefits bestowed by this senior was heaven-defying. They had completely cleared the obstacles from her path and turned her road of purging evil into a broad path to the heavens!

She bowed deeply once more. Her voice trembled slightly with emotion, yet it was filled with incomparable resolve. "Senior... Gu Yi will never forget your help for as long as she lives! Gu Yi will certainly give her all to purify Evil, awaken the holy sword, and restore the light of the angels!"

Sensing the heartfelt gratitude and unwavering conviction in Ye Gu Yi's gaze, Lei Chen nodded.

"Go. Your path has only just begun."

His purpose in appearing this time had been achieved, and Ye Gu Yi, an important "piece of the puzzle," was now in place. In the next moment, Lei Chen's figure silently faded away as though merging into sunlight. No spatial fluctuations arose, and it was as if he had never appeared at all.

At the edge of the forest, silence returned to the clearing among the trees, leaving only Ye Gu Yi behind.

She tightly gripped the Angel Holy Sword in one hand and looked at the Primordial Unity Immortal Herb in the other. Feeling the incomparably clear Evil Soul Master locations in her mind and the concealed mark on the back of her hand, she took a deep breath.

She solemnly bowed once more in the direction where Lei Chen had vanished. Then her gaze sharpened. Without wasting any more time, she flashed away to find a concealed spot, preparing to consume the immortal herb immediately and raise her strength.

Meanwhile, within the sea of the Douluo Plane Origin, Lei Chen had quietly returned. Vast seven-colored streams of light surrounded him, and every subtle pulse of the entire plane was clearly reflected in his heart.

His "gaze" swept across the continent. Watching Ye Gu Yi begin to refine the Primordial Unity Immortal Herb as her aura steadily rose, he nodded slightly and pondered to himself.

Ye Gu Yi's side is more or less settled. The secrets that needed to be revealed and the assistance that needed to be given have all been delivered. She has already set foot on the path of reforging the Angel Godhood, and she has made a good start.

However, when Lei Chen compared the plan to reforge the Angel Godhood with Snow Empress's plan to reforge the Ice God's Divine Position, he could not help but shake his head gently.

The difficulty of the two matters was worlds apart.

Snow Empress's side possessed the right time, place, and people. She herself was the ruler of the Far North, with cultivation at the peak of six hundred and ninety thousand years. She was innately perfectly compatible with the Ice God's Divine Position.

She had enough Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, a heavenly treasure capable of directly raising cultivation, to last her until one million years. She also possessed the Ice God's Heart, an inheritance item containing the Ice God's original Divine Power.

All she needed to do next was cultivate step by step, undergo tribulations, absorb the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, and nurture the heart of the god. Once her cultivation broke through to one million years and her life level evolved, reforging the Ice God's Divine Position would come naturally, with almost no bottlenecks or unforeseen complications.

Ye Gu Yi's situation, on the other hand, was far more troublesome.

The core of her path to reforging lay in "judgment" and "purification." She needed to continuously hunt Evil Soul Masters and use their vast Evil energy as nourishment in order to gradually awaken the divine sword and reassemble the Divine Seat. There were simply too many variables involved.

Leaving aside whether Ye Gu Yi could defeat powerful Evil Soul Masters every time during her growth, there was a fatal problem with the total amount of "resources" alone.

Although Evil Soul Masters were rampant across the current Douluo Continent and had formed a cancerous tumor like the Holy Spirit Cult, in Lei Chen's view, their quality and numbers were still far from enough to support the purifying power needed to reforge a First-level Divine Position.

Lei Chen's perception extended across the continent, and he knew the high-level combat strength of the Evil Soul Masters like the back of his hand.

At Level 99, there was only one Limit Douluo: the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, Ye Xishui. At Level 98, there was only the cult leader Zhongli Wu. Below them, the number of Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters could be counted on one's fingers. Most were merely Soul Douluo, Soul Sage, or even lower-level fodder.

Relying on the energy generated by purifying these people to awaken the Angel Holy Sword and reforge the Angel Godhood at the level of a First-level God was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

The prerequisite for a quantitative change to cause a qualitative change was having a sufficient quantity. With the current foundation of Evil Soul Masters, even if Ye Gu Yi killed every last one of them, she could likely only restore half the Angel Holy Sword's power at most. She would still be far from fully awakening it and reforging the Divine Seat.

In Lei Chen's view, to achieve the goal, they needed to purify at least one or two Evil Soul Masters whose cultivation had reached the God-level. Only by using the vast Evil origin contained within them as an impact might they barely be qualified to trigger the opportunity to reforge the Angel Godhood.

But the problem was, where could the current Douluo Plane possibly find God-level Evil Soul Masters? If there truly were none, then he could only... cultivate them himself.

At that thought, Lei Chen's profound gaze immediately turned toward a certain corner of the Douluo Plane.

Before Ye Gu Yi truly grows up and gains the strength to challenge God-level beings, I'll have to prepare sufficiently weighty sacrifices for her first. I'll cultivate one or two God-level Evil Soul Masters, then have her reap them once the time is right.

Since he had already decided to cultivate God-level powerhouses, cultivating a few more along the way would do no harm.

Herding one sheep is herding; herding two sheep is the same. Evil Soul Masters need to be cultivated, but orthodox soul master powerhouses also need vigorous support. The human soul master world today is simply... too weak!

Lei Chen's divine sense swept across the entire continent. The number of top experts among the human soul masters left this Plane Lord deeply dissatisfied.

In the current Douluo Plane, there were only three Level 99 Limit Douluo: Shrek Academy's Dragon God Douluo Mu En, the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder Ye Xishui, and its chief worshiper Long Xiaoyao.

There were likewise only three Level 98 Super Douluo nearing the limit: Xuan Zi, Du Bushi, and Zhongli Wu.

Compared to such a vast plane, the number of high-level combatants clearly showed that its potential had yet to be truly developed.

In Lei Chen's eyes, as the supreme existence governing an entire world, the current scale of the Douluo Plane should have supported far more powerhouses than this.

There should have been at least double-digit numbers of Level 99 Limit Douluo. There should also have been several experts capable of touching the threshold of the God-level, or even truly stepping into the God-level, to hold the fort. Having only this pitiful handful was simply far too shabby.

With that thought, Lei Chen immediately made his decision.

Reforging Divine Seats was certainly of utmost importance, but the cultivation of God-level powerhouses without Divine Seats could not be neglected either. While preparing the "sacrifices" Ye Gu Yi needed to reforge her Divine Seat, he could also offer guidance to several other people at the limit—or rather, close to the limit.
