The God of Destruction's Heartwarming Gift, Slave Mark

Douluo Continent, God Realm, Life God Temple.

The Goddess of Life was lying in a cradle woven from flowers, watching a crystal ball. As she infused her inheritance into Luo Zixi's body, she also obtained all of Luo Zixi's information.

"Ultimate Ice, Ultimate Wood Element; the sacrifice of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings; one Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring; and only three rings, yet Soul Power as high as level fifty-two; nearly monstrous spiritual power, and physical strength comparable to a Soul Sage."

Even the well-traveled Goddess of Life could not help but reveal a trace of astonishment when she saw all the cheats Luo Zixi possessed.

"What a lucky little brat. But my future chosen one of destiny will definitely be even more outstanding than you."

Very quickly, she decided on the first trial. After all, she was a God King who governed life; a higher difficulty for the trial was only normal, wasn't it?

With that thought, she bestowed her first divine trial.

At the same time, Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest, Mixed Zone.

A gentle female voice echoed in Luo Zixi's mind as he was enveloped by the Emerald Green Light.

Life God Trial, First Trial: Complete the remaining Soul Rings, with none below eighty thousand years;

Time Limit: One year

Punishment: If not completed within the allotted time, you will be directly erased. No helping it, those are the rules.

Reward: ???

Immediately afterward, a green-gold mark appeared between Luo Zixi's brows.

As it appeared, all the green-gold light surrounding Luo Zixi was completely absorbed by it.

Though Luo Zixi was somewhat bewildered, he remained relatively calm. Chrysanthemum Douluo, however, saw that terrifying pressure vanish, yet his pale golden eyes remained filled with gravity.

Before Luo Zixi could speak again, Chrysanthemum Douluo stepped onto a chrysanthemum and fled wildly with Yan and Xie Yue at an incredible speed.

Elsewhere, Spirit City, Spirit Hall, atop the gilded gold throne at the center of Pope's Hall.

After sensing this aura, Bibi Dong, clad in a purple-gold papal robe and wreathed in black mist, instantly drew in her power. The black mist that had surrounded her also vanished at that moment.

Her cold, gloomy eyes slowly turned toward the Star Dou Great Forest as she murmured, "Another person chosen by the gods? But unfortunately, only I can become a god in this era!!"

Angel God Temple, Angel Secret Realm.

Qiandao Liu raised his eyes toward the distant Star Dou Great Forest, a trace of solemnity appearing in his clear gaze.

"Another lucky one chosen by the gods?"

Sea God Island, within the Sea God Great Hall.

Bo Saixi gazed into the distance with her gentle ice-blue eyes. Upon sensing this aura, she felt her heart clench fiercely, then let out a soft sigh.

"Ah~"

At the same time, God Realm, Destruction God Temple.

"Hm? Why is Xiao Lu's aura on the continent?"

A tall, slender, handsome young man frowned slightly, but quickly realized what was happening.

That was right—he was our greatest and most glorious God of Destruction!

He immediately opened the crystal ball and examined the location where Xiao Lu's aura had appeared.

"Found it! I never expected Xiao Lu to pass down her divine position to this little fellow. But from the looks of it, he seems to be in a bit of trouble."

Using his divine power to restore the events from five minutes earlier, he saw the full course of what had happened.

"Tsk, an interesting kid. I like his decisive, ruthless nature, but unfortunately, he isn't suited to inherit my divine position."

The God of Destruction inwardly lamented it, but as the man behind Xiao Lu, he would absolutely not stand idly by after seeing her inheritor suffer such humiliation!

With that thought, he casually flicked his hand. A message of his, mixed with a white ball of light, stealthily left the God Realm and shot straight toward the Star Dou Great Forest on Douluo Continent.

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest, Mixed Zone.

Luo Zixi looked at Hu Liena, who was barely clinging to life due to his Wood Spirit Power, and considered whether he should simply throw her here to feed the Soul Beasts.

After all, Spirit Hall would likely label him a top-level wanted criminal in the future. Bringing along such dead weight was definitely not a wise choice.

With that thought, an ice blade flashing with cold light condensed directly in Luo Zixi's left hand.

At the same time, the Goddess of Life, far away in the God Realm, was stunned when she saw this.

No, bro, it was one thing not to treasure such a gorgeous beauty, but were you really about to finish her off with one slash?!

The Goddess of Life hurriedly issued a Divine Decree.

"Be gentler with girls. Carrying too much bloodshed upon you is not a good thing!"

Just as Luo Zixi's ice blade was only 0.0001 centimeters from Hu Liena's neck, the Goddess of Life's Divine Decree finally reached his mind.

However, Luo Zixi could not be bothered to pay any attention to the Goddess of Life's words.

"Take it if you want it. Leave it there if you don't. I couldn't care less."

Oh, what kind of tone was that? It instantly got Luo Zixi all worked up.

Why not kill her? Keep her around to warm his bed?

Was he really supposed to flee from pursuit with such deadweight in tow, all while constantly guarding against her running back to tip them off? Did she take him for some horny idiot with no brains?

The Goddess of Life froze on the spot after hearing Luo Zixi's reply. Do you even hear what you're saying?!

I'm a god! The Goddess of Life! A goddess!

The kind who could even grant you a godhood! What did you mean by that?!

However, just as Luo Zixi was about to continue with his blade, another white orb of light shot straight into his mind.

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Divine Skill: Slave Mark;

Effect: You may place a soul mark on anyone whose strength is below your own level, and they will obey your commands with absolute obedience. (Can only be used while the target is unconscious.)

The Host looked over the name and effect once. (Heaven-Defying Comprehension effect activated.)

Congratulations, Host, for mastering the Divine Skill: Slave Mark (Great Perfection).

Effect: You may place a soul mark on anyone up to one rank above yourself, and they will obey your commands with absolute obedience. (Can only be used while the target is unconscious.)

Just then, another voice rang out in Luo Zixi's mind.

"Kid, I'm the Destruction God King. Consider this Divine Skill a meeting gift. As Xiao Lu's successor, you'd better listen to her properly, or else—"

What????

No, what the hell are you people doing?

Very quickly, another urgent voice reached Luo Zixi's mind.

"Don't kill her! At worst, I'll make the later trials easier for you."

A somewhat hurried female voice rang in Luo Zixi's ears. That was right—it was the Goddess of Life's voice.

Feeling the Divine Skill in his mind, Luo Zixi looked at Hu Liena again.

A very bold idea formed in his heart.

There's one more chapter. It might be posted a little later. I've had a lot going on these past two days, but I'll still post on time.
