Creating His Own Godhood? The Evil and Kindness God Kings Were Stunned! Old Asura Was Furious!

Late at night,

A blood-red figure suddenly appeared in Li Chen's Sea of Spirit.

"Who are you?!"

Li Chen challenged him with his spiritual will.

"Heh. Not bad—you're alert. I am the Asura God. I came to offer you my inheritance. Pass the Divine Examination, and you can inherit my Godhood."

Li Chen was startled.

"The Asura God?"

He hadn't expected

the opportunity originally meant for Tang San to land in his lap.

He hadn't even tried to steal it this time.

Before Li Chen could respond,

two more figures suddenly appeared.

One black, one white.

"Well, well, old Asura. You moved fast, didn't you?!"

"Li Chen, whatever old Asura just told you, don't believe him. Kindness and I are both God Kings, and we can offer you something better!"

The black figure of the Evil God King spoke.

Beside him, the white figure of the Kindness God King nodded. "Evil is absolutely right."

Li Chen was even more surprised.

Since when had everyone wanted him so badly?

Even the original Evil and Kindness God Kings had come!

Old Asura's figure rippled, his emotions surging.

"Heh. I am the Asura God, an enforcer of the Divine Realm! Is my standing beneath yours?"

The Evil God King snorted. "Your Godhood isn't inferior. You are. Li Chen, this old man never intended to choose you. He wanted Tang San!"

"He only chose you now because you're stronger than Tang San! Here's something else: the last person he chose was Tang Chen.

And what happened? The man got trapped at his Divine Examination site and still hasn't come out!"

The Kindness God King hurried to pile on. "Evil is absolutely right!

"The Asura God is dangerous! Tang Chen had already become a Limit Douluo, but that Divine Examination left him a wreck. If you choose the Asura God, you might end up even worse off than Tang Chen!"

The Evil and Kindness God Kings kept up their relentless verbal assault.

Old Asura's figure practically smoked with rage.

He immediately protested, "Li Chen, don't listen to their nonsense! Tang Chen was ambushed by the Rakshasa God! A normal Divine Examination is safe!"

The Evil God King sneered. "Ambushed? Aren't you a mighty enforcer of the Divine Realm?

"Your successor was ambushed by the Rakshasa God, a mere first-tier deity. Some enforcer you are!"

Old Asura grew angrier still.

In truth,

he had learned of Tang San's arrival and abandoned Tang Chen for him. So when the Rakshasa God ambushed Tang Chen, Old Asura hadn't intervened at all.

Now he found himself trapped either way.

If he explained, he would admit he treated his chosen successors as disposable.

If he didn't, he would make the Asura God look too weak to handle one Rakshasa God.

The Evil God King knew it and pressed the attack.

In fact,

the Evil and Kindness God Kings both despised what he had done.

Either don't choose a successor, or see his examination through! What kind of god left someone stranded halfway through in Slaughter City?!

Out of options, Old Asura resorted to a threat:

"Li Chen! Choose me, and I guarantee your safety! Refuse, and you can forget about inheriting either of their Godhoods too!"

Li Chen was so angry he laughed.

The Evil and Kindness God Kings bristled at once.

"Asura, are you asking for a beating? Just you wait. Neither of us minds taking you on!"

Even the Kindness God King had lost his patience.

"Evil is absolutely right! Old Asura, you can't win the argument, so now you want to fight? Get out!"

The Kindness God King's divine will flared with light.

Old Asura's divine will was driven back. He struggled to resist, but the Evil God King's divine will joined in an instant. Two against one, they blasted him straight out!

In the Divine Realm, Old Asura opened his eyes and clenched his fists in fury. "You two!"

There was nothing he could do. He was on his own.

With Asura gone, the Evil and Kindness God Kings turned smiling eyes on Li Chen.

"There. The old man's gone. Li Chen, how about considering our Godhoods? Our Divine Examinations are safe. Even if you can't complete one, we'll protect you. Nothing will happen to you!"

Kindness smiled. "That's right."

Li Chen hesitated a moment before speaking. "God Kings, I'll be frank with you."

"Go ahead. Tell us what you're thinking."

"I can accept your examinations, but I also want to create my own Godhood."

"Create your own Godhood?"

Evil and Kindness exchanged a shocked glance.

"That's right. As things stand, only powerful soul masters on the continent can become gods. What about ordinary people? Do they have no hope of becoming gods in their entire lives?"

"With my martial soul and the power of faith, I might be able to forge a path toward a Wisdom God Position."

From a scientific perspective,

the history of civilization on Douluo Continent was a dismal failure.

It had taken a full twenty thousand years to reach the era of the Dragon King Legend and develop a modern civilization.

After all,

in Li Chen's previous life, that sort of progress had taken five thousand years at most.

The reason

was that powerful martial souls had drastically slowed the continent's technological development.

Without the Sun Moon Continent, Douluo Continent would probably have taken even longer than twenty thousand years to develop technology that genuinely benefited ordinary people!

At its core, Douluo Continent was a feudal society with a fantasy veneer!

Li Chen intended to leave behind a new path. Only then, after he left, would the people of Douluo Continent avoid being led astray by Shrek into pursuing nothing but martial souls.

That might also ease some of the conflict between soul beasts and soul masters.

"Tsk. You're ambitious, kid, but creating your own Godhood won't be easy."

The Evil God King said seriously, "The requirements are harsh. Take the Sea God, who was born on your Douluo Continent. He fought for a full thousand years and gathered the faith of the entire ocean before he became a god."

"If you want to create your own Godhood, you'll have to do at least as much. And even then, you'd only be a first-tier deity. If you want to create a God King's Godhood..."

The Evil God King paused.

"That would be far harder. Even unifying all of Douluo Star wouldn't be enough."

"Doupo Star doesn't yet have the conditions needed to produce a God King. That path is all but impossible."

The Evil God King spoke earnestly.

The Kindness God King added, "If you refuse Asura's Godhood, he'll hold a grudge."

"But if you accept it, he'll insist you go to Slaughter City and claim the Asura Demon Sword as soon as possible. His previous successor, Tang Chen, has already completed eight examinations."

"Then you'd have little time to gather faith for your own Godhood."

"But if you don't inherit Asura's Godhood, even if you successfully create a first-tier Godhood, Asura will look for a chance to destroy you once you enter the Divine Realm."

"In other words, if you want to create your own Godhood, you must also inherit mine or Evil's—perhaps even both.

"Otherwise, the Godhood you create must be at the God King level, or you'll still fall! Rakshasa and Angel are warnings enough!"

The Kindness and Evil God Kings had thought it through.

They had even considered what would happen after Li Chen became a god.

Li Chen knew they were right.

"Thank you both for your concern, but I still want to try. If you're eager to pass on your Godhoods, I can give up your inheritances."

Evil and Kindness exchanged a glance and fell silent for a moment.

"We're not letting you give them up. We drove Asura away to win you over. If we don't protect you, he might use some underhanded trick to make you die before your time."

"How about this?"

"As long as you don't die from something originating outside Douluo Star, you can take our Divine Examinations for as long as you need. You can work on creating your own Godhood at the same time."

"Besides, a Limit Douluo on Douluo Star lives only about a thousand years. That's just a thousand days to us. We can wait."

"What do you say?"

Li Chen looked at the two God Kings in delighted surprise and nodded. "In that case, thank you both!"
