Spirit City, Worship Hall, inside a room. Ye Cangming sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at the System Panel before him in deep thought.
The value representing Plot Points on the System Panel was surging at an almost insane rate.
Ye Cangming blinked, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Just how brutally is Grandpa slaughtering people out there?! Why are the Plot Points increasing so fast?!"
The Plot Points he had just spent on exchanging for Soul Power Levels, God-Given Spirit Rings, and various Martial Soul Fusion Skills—
had all been earned back in such a short time, with plenty more on top of that?!
Watching the wildly jumping Plot Points, Ye Cangming was overjoyed. "At this rate, Grandpa probably won't be back anytime soon. Who knows how long he'll keep killing."
"Since Grandpa is out there cutting people down left and right, leaving corpses everywhere and blood flowing like rivers, I shouldn't just waste away in Spirit City either!"
Although he did not know what his grandfather had done after leaving Spirit City, he knew that his grandfather had left in anger and had certainly killed quite a few people.
No one would be surprised by anything a Peerless Douluo driven by overwhelming hatred might do after leaving Spirit City.
"The two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, can't be left alone any longer. Rather than letting Tang San benefit from them in the future, I might as well absorb them myself!"
His Bright Holy Dragon Spirit already had all nine Spirit Rings, but his Dark Holy Dragon Spirit did not have a single one yet. It was not as though he could not directly exchange for God-Given Spirit Rings.
However, God-Given Spirit Rings would only grow more expensive. If the Dark Holy Dragon Spirit absorbed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings of those two Spirit Beasts, he could save the cost of two God-Given Spirit Rings.
Most importantly, absorbing those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings would be enough to raise his Soul Power Level to Rank 94 in one go!
If he used Plot Points to directly raise his Soul Power Level, it would cost a full four hundred thousand Plot Points!
He could use the Plot Points he saved to do more things and prepare to exchange for the Dragon God Divine Position in the future. After all, the Dragon God Divine Position was not cheap.
At that thought, Ye Cangming stopped hesitating. He rose directly, pushed open the door, and headed into the main hall where the offerings were gathered.
He slowly walked toward the Crystal Coffin and looked at Qian Renxue within, her peaceful face resembling that of a sleeping beauty. "Xiao Xue, rest easy and sleep a little longer. Soon... after some time, you'll be able to wake up. When that happens..."
Ye Cangming withdrew his gaze and looked toward the other offerings. Before leaving the Worship Hall for the Star Dou Great Forest, he still needed to tell these grandfatherly offerings.
"Xiao Ye, why are you here?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.
Ye Cangming looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo, his expression unchanged and still carrying that faint sorrow. "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, esteemed grandpas, I came to bid you farewell."
"Farewell? What are you going to do, Xiao Ye? Don't do anything foolish, understand? As long as you become a god, Xiao Xue can be revived!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo was deeply worried that Ye Cangming might do something reckless.
Ye Cangming shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, you're worrying too much. I plan to leave the Worship Hall and make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"The Star Dou Great Forest? What are you going there for?" Golden Crocodile Douluo was slightly stunned before asking, "Could this be related to your God Trial?!"
"Your guess is correct, Grandpa Golden Crocodile." Ye Cangming did not deny it and simply went along with the conversation. "This is precisely the content of my God Trial this time. I need to make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."
The excuse of a God Trial was simply a universal solution. Any unreasonable explanation could be brushed aside with it.
Moreover, he did not need to explain anything. If they asked, it was part of the God Trial. If they asked again, it had to be done! If they asked once more, he had to go!
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression gradually turned serious. "Xiao Ye, the Star Dou Great Forest is extremely dangerous. What is the content of your God Trial? Can't us old fellows help you?"
Ye Cangming pondered for a moment. With his current strength, two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, and three Martial Soul Fusion Skills—
he would have no problem facing the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python alone. It would merely take some extra time.
But if Grandpa Golden Crocodile and the others could help him hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, why should he exhaust himself doing it alone?
His original plan had been to wait until his grandfather returned from taking revenge, then have him accompany him. But Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others would work just as well; their strength was not weak either!
Since such power was available to him, would he not be an idiot if he did not use it?!
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, you're absolutely right—this God Trial is quite difficult!" Ye Cangming swept his gaze over everyone. "The content of this God Trial is for me to obtain two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings for my Dark Holy Dragon Spirit!"
"What? Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings?" Upon hearing this, all the offerings drew sharp breaths.
Golden Crocodile Douluo said gravely, "Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings are rare enough as it is, let alone two of them! Besides, any Spirit Beast that has cultivated for a hundred thousand years possesses terrifying strength!"
"However, with our help, hunting the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest should not be a problem."
Back then, Bibi Dong had sent people deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to capture those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Unfortunately, the plan had ultimately failed. This was no secret among Spirit Hall's upper ranks.
"With my strength, taking down those two Spirit Beasts would not be difficult, but it would waste a great deal of time. With the help of all my grandpas, it should be much easier!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly. "Since this is Xiao Ye's God Trial and we can help you, then even if we must mobilize all of Spirit Hall's strength, we will help you obtain these two Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings!"
"Third, Fourth." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo. "You two will accompany this old man and help Xiao Ye hunt those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!"
Third Offering Azure Luan Douluo and Fourth Offering Mighty Lion Douluo immediately rose to their feet. "No problem! They are merely two hundred-thousand-year beasts. Let them become stepping stones on Xiao Ye's path to godhood!"
"Fifth, Sixth, Seventh." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Guangling Douluo and the brothers Qian Jun and Jiang Mo. "The Spirit Hall Empire has only just been established. Although Bibi Dong is holding the line in the direct war, the Worship Hall's strength may be needed at any time. When the time comes, act according to the situation and assist Bibi Dong!"
Fifth Offering Guangling Douluo said, "Second Brother, go help Xiao Ye without worry. With us here in Spirit Hall, if anything goes wrong, we'll help Bibi Dong."
"Xiao Ye, go and return quickly. Finish the God Trial and become a god soon, so Xiao Xue can be revived sooner. We're still waiting for the two of you to hold your wedding." Qianjun Douluo looked at Ye Cangming.
