Inside the secret chamber, the gazes of Lin Mo and the other two were involuntarily drawn to the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which emitted Youyou blue light.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Indeed, this is the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud I got from Xue Qinghe, but for some reason, it's not suitable for me."
"Why do you say that? Isn't this just a Soul Tool? Is there such a thing as suitable or unsuitable?" Dugu Yan asked with a puzzled look.
"Attributes are not suitable."
Lin Mo shook his head, then turned his gaze to the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his hand. "Based on my perception over this period, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud should be a Water-type Soul Tool."
"It doesn't suit my Fire-type. Sheer Force use will likely backfire due to attribute incompatibility, preventing it from unleashing its full power."
Lin Mo, without batting an eye, immediately launched into his masterful deception.
"Under these circumstances, it's a waste for me to keep this. Why don't you and Sister Lingling try it out, Sister Yanyan, and see if you can use it properly?"
Hearing Lin Mo's righteous words, the two women looked sad and suspicious. Although it sounded reasonable, they still felt that A-Mo was going to deceive them again.
However, out of trust in Lin Mo, neither Dugu Yan nor Ye Lingling refuted him. Instead, they nodded, signaling Lin Mo to continue.
Seeing that the two women did not show any suspicion, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, we can smoothly move on to the next step.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and the Sea God Godhood behind it are undoubtedly excellent items.
Moreover, because the true Sea God, who was far away in the Divine Realm, was eager to relinquish his Godhood and leave the Divine Realm to travel freely in the universe, he was not demanding of his successor.
The current Sea God Godhood can be described as a universal plug, ready to use immediately.
Of course, not everyone can successfully inherit the Sea God Godhood; the Sea God has certain requirements for his successors.
Otherwise, how could the Heaven Dou Empire, knowing full well that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was a priceless treasure, have allowed it to gather dust in the imperial treasury for so long?
It was used merely as an ordinary Soul Tool, and for so many years, no one was qualified to gain the recognition of the remaining Sea God's Divine Sense within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Of course, another reason is that they also urgently need a god-level combatant to appear in order to deal with the future situation.
After all, Bibi Dong had already opened the Rakshasa Secret Realm and completed the Rakshasa Nine Trials after devouring Qian Xunji, thus beginning her own path to godhood.
Lin Mo himself does not intend to simply follow the path of Godhood Inheritance, which means that the difficulty and time required for him to become a god in the future will likely exceed those of Godhood Inheritance Bibi Dong.
In such a situation, the best outcome would be for one's side to have a second deity besides oneself.
The best plan at this stage is to use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, since the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is the Sea God's Heart.
If either Dugu Yan or Ye Lingling can gain its approval, then their subsequent trip to Sea God Island would essentially Lock-On their position as Sea God in advance.
The only consolation at this stage is that the Rakshasa Godhood inherited by Bibi Dong is extremely disappointing compared to the other Godhood Inheritance processes in Lin Mo's memory.
Neither the Sea God Godhood inherited by Tang San nor the Angel Godhood inherited by Qian Renxue was nearly as terrible as the Rakshasa God.
As Bibi Dong improved her cultivation, passed the God Trials one by one, and inherited the Godhood position, the Rakshasa God Trial not only failed to help her improve her cultivation, but also restricted her ability to exert her strength for a long time, hindering her at every turn.
This resulted in Bibi Dong being the first person in Lin Mo's memory to undergo the divine assessment, but she was the last person to become a god after Qian Renxue and Tang San.
This gave them a considerable amount of breathing room.
It can only be said that the Rakshasa God Rakshasa God truly lives up to his name, treating everyone else the same as everyone else and swindling them all.
Not only did he encounter the Asura God, with whom he was at odds, but he even betrayed his own successor.
Otherwise, given the difference in strength between Bibi Dong and Tang San back then, Tang San would never have been able to escape from Bibi Dong's clutches time and time again.
Everyone has selfish desires, and Lin Mo was no exception.
Whether it was for the purpose of dealing with Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God, or in the hope that someone could accompany him to ascend to the Divine Realm so that he wouldn't be too lonely during his long divine life.
Lin Mo hoped to leave the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which he had successfully acquired, to the people around him, so that they could accompany him not only now, but also in the future.
Moreover, the Sea God Godhood is that of First-Level Main God, and its successor is qualified to bring two family members with him when ascending to the Divine Realm Divine Realm.
This was another of Lin Mo's purposes; if possible, he wanted to bring as many people around him as possible into the Divine Realm.
If possible, he would still like everyone around him to become a god.
One person, and even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
He's not a saint; he naturally has his own selfish motives.
After regaining his composure, Lin Mo tossed the blue crystal in his hand upwards, played with it for a moment, and then threw it in the direction where Dugu Yan and the other person were.
Dugu Yan reacted instinctively, almost subconsciously reaching out to catch it. Realizing what Lin Mo had done, she couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Can't you just hand it over honestly? What if you drop it like that and break it?"
Lin Mo shrugged. "There's no possibility of it breaking. This thing is of extremely high quality, surpassing any Soul Tool I've ever seen."
At this point, Lin Mo paused, then added, "Moreover, through my research over this period of time, I've made an unexpected discovery."
"What did you find?" Ye Lingling asked, picking up the conversation.
"Hmm..."
After pretending to ponder for a moment, Lin Mo said, "This Soul Tool is quite special and powerful; it needs to be bound to a master before it can be used."
Furthermore, not everyone can successfully complete the recognition process; it seems to filter users, and those who fail the filter cannot use it even if they manage to obtain it.
"Screening?" Ye Lingling said subconsciously, "From what you're saying, A-Mo, this Soul Tool seems to have a spirit."
"Aren't Soul Tool all inanimate objects? How could they possibly have a spirit?" Dugu Yan said with considerable disdain.
"If it really does screen people, what are the screening criteria?"
Lin Mo said, "I guess it requires a certain level of talent from the user; if you don't meet those requirements, you can't use it smoothly."
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were momentarily stunned.
They had never seen such a strange Soul Tool before. Instead of the user choosing the Soul Tool, the Soul Tool chose the user who caught its eye.
This is utterly upside down!
However, Lin Mo was right; this Soul Tool was indeed quite intelligent.
Moreover, given the stringent prerequisites for using it, its power must be considerable.
Ye Lingling, however, was more perceptive. After a moment's thought, she added, "Doesn't that mean that once this Soul Tool has been recognized as a master, it cannot be easily transferred to someone else?"
"Unless the owner voluntarily renounces the ownership."
"That's most likely the case." Lin Mo nodded, confirming Ye Lingling's statement.
Because Lin Mo knew about the recognition ceremony of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in advance, he had only been playing with it during this period and had not actively injected any Soul Power or spiritual power into it.
Otherwise, if one's Sea God Godhood Lock-On in advance, causing one to lose the qualification to inherit other Godhood, that would be no fun at all.
He never intended to inherit the Sea God Godhood from the beginning. Apart from the previous considerations, the most important reason was that the Sea God Godhood was too low-level.
The Sea God is only a First-Level Main God. If one chooses to ascend to the Divine Realm as the Sea God Godhood,
In terms of strength, it will be difficult for the new Sea God to surpass the First Generation Sea God in a short period of time, let alone fully grasp the Sea God Godhood and further improve his cultivation.
This means that if Lin Mo really ascends to the Sea God Godhood, his strength will be limited to the level of First-Level God for a long time after ascending to the Divine Realm.
Although many people believe that First-Level God is already very strong, the Sea God is the best among them.
However, for Lin Mo, the Sea God Godhood at the First-Level God level was still too weak, far from meeting his expectations.
Moreover, second-generation gods who inherit the Godhood of others will find it extremely difficult to advance further after ascending to the Divine Realm without other opportunities.
The level of strength one possesses upon ascension is likely to remain at that level for the rest of their life.
This is the main reason why Lin Mo was unwilling to accept it, and why he never considered the Sea God Godhood from the beginning.
Compared to inheriting Godhood and becoming a god, the only drawback of Self-Created Godhood is that it takes too long.
Moreover, if he were truly forced to choose the path of becoming a god through Godhood, wouldn't it be better to let him Asura God Godhood?
The Asura God Godhood is God King level Godhood; isn't that much more desirable than the Sea God Godhood?
In any case, he has now obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain, which is equivalent to obtaining the ticket to the Asura God Trial.
Moreover, the location of the Asura God Trial is quite clear. As long as Lin Mo goes to the Slaughter City and kills Tang Chen, he has an almost 99% chance of replacing Tang Chen and becoming the new successor of the Asura God Trial.
After receiving Lin Mo's affirmative answer, Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had unloaded a psychological burden, and subconsciously took a small step back.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but look puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind Ye Lingling's actions.
Ye Lingling said softly, " Yanzi, since you gave me the chance to acquire the Lovesick Heartbreak Red last time, then I'll give you the chance to acquire the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud this time."
At this point, Ye Lingling smiled slyly, "Of course, if Yanzi fail to recognize it as your master, don't blame me for being impolite. I will take it down smoothly!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan shook her head, then tossed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in her hand into the air, grabbed it again, and said with great confidence:
"Now that the item is in my hands, why should I give it away, not even to Lingling?"
