God of Faith and God of Authority!

"Those are the God of Faith and the God of Authority! As for Sea God Godhood, it is the cream of the crop among the gods of faith."

The God of Faith and the God of Authority?

Xiang Jun blinked. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a classification.

"Compared to the gods of faith, the gods of authority possess far greater strength. The five God Kings who govern the Divine Realm Committee all belong to the gods of authority. However, there are pros and cons. While gods of authority are undeniably powerful, trying to break through to a higher realm is harder than ascending to the heavens."

Unaware of Xiang Jun's strange expression, Elder Jin continued smoothly, "Gods of faith are different. Although their strength cannot compare to that of gods of authority, they can rely on a continuous stream of faith to break through the innate limits of their godhood."

Among the deities familiar to everyone, the five God Kings, the Seven Original Sin Gods representing original sin, the Seven Elemental Gods controlling the elements, as well as the God of Devastation, the Emotion God, the Rakshasa God, and so on, were all the cream of the crop among the gods of authority.

They represented the pinnacle of various authorities.

What about the gods of faith, by contrast?

Counting them up properly, there were only two deities worth mentioning.

The Sea God and the Angel God.

Poseidon and the First-Generation Angel God had collected faith by resolving conflicts in the continent's oceans, eventually creating their own godhoods and ascending to the Divine Realm.

Among them, the Angel God had even been completely destroyed by Little Scumbag.

In other words, the only deity among the first-level gods of faith remaining was the Sea God.

Following Elder Jin's explanation, sudden realization dawned on Xiang Jun.

No wonder Little Scumbag had hardly managed the oceans after becoming a god, yet his Sea God Godhood had advanced by leaps and bounds, eventually reaching the God King level in the later stages.

So that was the reason!

Backed by the heritage of defeating Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, coupled with the existence of Shrek Academy, the vast majority of soul masters across Douluo Star held a pious devotion to the Sea God straight from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, Douluo Star belonged entirely to a top-tier plane within the Douluo world, capable of providing Tang God King with a steady stream of faith power.

Compared to the faith power brought by soul masters, the ocean?

What kind of roadside ditch was that!

"Child, if you want to truly become the Sea God, this first step is to gather the power of faith across the continent. Although this is an exceptionally arduous path, this old man still firmly believes that you will ultimately succeed."

Elder Jin sighed. Right now, he wished he could make Xiang Jun ascend to become the Sea God on the spot, and then have him get rid of the Blue Silver Emperor that was sucking away voraciously at the roots.

Sucking away like this every single day—at his advanced age, how could his body possibly take it!

"However, your most urgent task right now is still to quickly cultivate to level fifty. When the time comes, this old man will present you with an unexpected grand gift!"

Elder Jin stroked his beard with a smile, then spread his hands apart. A blue-purple fragment instantly entered Xiang Jun's field of vision, electric arcs occasionally flashing across its surface.

This aura... A deity?!

Xiang Jun's pupils abruptly constricted. That terrifying rule power within the fragment was something only deities could possess.

Furthermore, the moment the fragment appeared, his own Sea God Martial Soul unexpectedly gave birth to a terrifying urge to devour it.

"Elder Jin, what is this thing..."

Hearing Xiang Jun's inquiry, Elder Jin smiled and explained, "Child, I wonder if you have ever heard of an ancient deity, the Thunder God!"

The Thunder God!

Xiang Jun was already too shocked to speak. As a top-tier powerhouse among first-level gods, the Thunder God governed thunder and lightning while also handling heavenly tribulations, making him the strictest father to all those who created their own godhood.

Regrettably, he had fallen in the ancient great war of the Divine Realm, and even his godhood had been completely shattered.

"Elder Jin, could this fragment possibly be the godhood fragment of the fallen Thunder God?"

If this truly was a Thunder God Fragment, it would be an absolute tonic for him!

"Precisely. This is a fragment that fell onto Douluo Star when the Thunder God perished back then, and it was ultimately acquired by this old man by chance."

Watching Xiang Jun's impatient look, Elder Jin immediately smiled silently. "Absorb it. Your Sea God Martial Soul also possesses formidable lightning attributes."

Looking at the Thunder God Fragment right before his eyes, Xiang Jun suddenly felt an urge to take Elder Jin as his foster father.

Good grief, this was only their very first meeting, and he was already handing over such a grand gift?

Just like the Six-Winged Angel, Xiang Jun's Sea God Martial Soul simultaneously possessed multiple attributes, even surpassing them by a few.

Sacred, thunder, water, ice, and wind.

The attributes reached a terrifying five in total!

Aside from the sacred attribute, the remaining four elements respectively represented thunderstorms, seawater, glaciers, and ocean currents in the ocean.

However, leaving aside the sacred attribute, the status of the other four elements was somewhat awkward.

The ice element had the Ice God, the wind element had the Wind God, the thunder element had the Thunder God, and even the water element, which had the deepest ties to the Sea God Godhood, had the Water God pressing down on top of it.

Moreover, without exception, they were all gods of authority symbolizing absolute authority.

Still, the Thunder God had already fallen anyway. I reckon this Authority of Thunder is fated with my Sea God, heh heh heh~

"Child, absorb it right here. There shouldn't be any place safer than this on Douluo Star, and besides, this old man shall personally stand guard for you."

"This... Elder Jin, for such great kindness, I, Xiang Jun, will never forget it in this lifetime!"

If Your Excellency does not disdain me, this subordinate is willing to take you as my foster father!

Xiang Jun bowed deeply to Elder Jin. If not for the fact that he lacked a Heavenly Painted Halberd, he really would have wanted to take Elder Jin as his foster father right on the spot.

"Get up quickly, child. This old man only hopes that you can stay true to your original aspiration and save all living creatures of Douluo Star."

Right, and ruthlessly elbow that Tang Family Kid.

Save all living creatures? When on earth was that my original aspiration?

Wasn't my biggest wish just to ascend to the Divine Realm, marry eight or ten wives, and live a reckless life without a shred of shame?

However, that didn't prevent him from elbowing Tang God King all the same.

Taking the Thunder God Fragment from Elder Jin's hands, Xiang Jun's gaze hardened as the Sea God's Light instantly activated.

The moment the Sea God's Light spilled over it, the previously calm Thunder God Fragment suddenly grew violent. Countless thick lightning arcs lashed out wildly, but they were all intercepted one by one by Elder Jin.

As he absorbed the rule power, Xiang Jun vaguely seemed to see an incomparably majestic and tall figure.

Simultaneously, a rough voice exploded within Xiang Jun's mind.

"Thunder God inheritance! Recipient of the Thunder God's Nine Trials, Xiang..."

"Hmm? Daring to snatch my successor from me, you truly have a way to die. Taste this deity's Poseidon flying kick!"

The massive surge of energy plunged Xiang Jun into a state of unconsciousness, though right before completely losing consciousness, he seemed to hear Poseidon's voice.

"Look at the sky quickly!"

"What the hell, what is going on here? Could this be the end of the world?!"

Outside the Golden Ancient Tree at this moment, a boundless expanse of pitch-black dark clouds shrouded the entire Shrek City. Rolling thunder was deafening, and that terrifying aura that seemed intent on destroying everything made even the Super Douluo-level elder figures unable to suppress a flutter in their hearts.
