Chapter 282: Offering Me a God Position?
After silently expressing his gratitude to Electrolux, Du Qianjue turned his attention to the soul ring before him. It was time to turn it into his power! After casually repairing the cracks in the wall, Du Qianjue sat cross-legged in front of the soul ring, released his Chaos Dragon King martial soul, and positioned the divine purple-gold soul ring onto his sixth soul ring slot.
At the Temple of Life, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life looked at each other, their faces mirroring a mutual astonishment.
"What was that boy just doing?" The God of Destruction's eyes were filled with suspicion and curiosity, his tone equally perplexed. "If I remember correctly, the cultivation system of the Douluo Continent is based on martial souls, right? So, what they just created... was that a soul ring?"
"To be able to leverage the rules of the Douluo Continent and turn a human soul into a soul ring, although the method seems a bit cruel, it's undeniably effective…"
The Goddess of Life frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flickering in her eyes, clearly disapproving of Du Qianjue 's approach. To kill one's enemy was one thing; extracting their soul to make a soul ring after their death was excessively brutal. It was natural for the inherently kind-hearted (and slightly sanctimonious) Goddess of Life to disapprove.
The shrewd God of Destruction instantly noticed what his long-time partner was thinking and tried to lighten the mood, "But I do remember that soul's martial spirit. It was the Purple Halo Destroying Dragon, a divine beast born alongside the Dragon God and, like me, possessed the attribute of destruction. That's why I remember it."
"It seems this species has been extinct, and I didn't expect it to still have a legacy among human soul masters."
"It's related to the Dragon God?" The Goddess of Life was shocked.
"Yes, and this youngster has also eliminated a potential hidden danger for us. After all, who knows if the Dragon God left any tricks within the Purple Halo Destroying Dragon?" The God of Destruction's expression fluctuated with the conversation.
The Goddess of Life playfully rolled her eyes and lightly tapped the God of Destruction's cheek with her finger, resignedly saying, "Alright, alright, Purple, I know what you're trying to say. You just don't want me to hold a grudge against this youngster for his methods."
The God of Destruction's mood brightened instantly, and he grasped the Goddess of Life's hand with a chuckle, "What I'm saying isn't wrong though. He hasn't gone on a murderous rampage; you and I can both see that there's hardly any malevolence in him. His methods are just a bit ruthless toward his enemies."
"And since when should one be merciful to their enemies? If I had always preached kindness and morality to my foes, there would be no God of Destruction today." Memories of his past brought a flash of deep purple thunder in his eyes.
"It's all in the past..." The Goddess of Life nestled into the God of Destruction's embrace, calming the storm within him.
His mood softened, and a relaxed smile spread across his face as he gently stroked her emerald hair, "Yes, it's all behind us. Now, all we want is a peaceful life, and a lovely child."
The Goddess of Life's cheeks flushed, and she looked up to glare at him, "I agreed, didn't I? Honestly, I don't dislike him; I just don't care much for his methods."
"I actually quite like his approach. At least he won't be at a disadvantage when facing Tang San," the God of Destruction narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone teasing, "You might not know, but Tang San has been quite manipulative towards this lad. He is the chosen one of this era on Douluo Continent, and Tang San, having ascended from there, is absurdly controlling."
"It's because of Tang San's continual interference with Douluo Continent that we've had our conflicts. You know how often I've confronted Tang San. Tang San has targeted this chosen one even more frequently."
"Think about it, my Green. After being continuously sabotaged by Tang San, how do you think this chosen one will react once he ascends to the divine realm?"
"I am looking forward to that scene!"
The God of Destruction couldn't help but revel in the situation, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm and mischief. The Goddess of Life sighed softly, finally breaking her silence.
"I'll help you," she said softly.
"I know. No matter what happens, you've always stood by me, haven't you?" The God of Destruction's smile grew fond as he locked eyes with the Goddess of Life, their gazes filled with love.
Ah… The air was suddenly thick with romance, and pink heart-shaped bubbles seemed to pop around them.
"Look, he's starting to absorb the soul ring," the God of Destruction remarked as he noticed a shift in the scene.
The Goddess of Life gently asked, "Purple, how do you plan to pass on the god position to him?"
The God of Destruction shook his head, "No rush on that, Green. Let me ask you, did you feel the presence of life within him?"
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the same lad who triggered my senses earlier," the Goddess of Life replied.
"A child of destiny!" The God of Destruction's eyes shimmered with admiration as he watched Du Qianjue on the screen. "Not only does he possess attributes of both our destruction and life, but the variety of attributes within this lad is simply abnormal."
As Du Qianjue began absorbing the soul ring, his body flashed with various lights, breathing in and out with different hues, adjusting to the newly acquired attribute of destruction among his many others.
The God of Destruction keenly observed this process. "Ice, fire, light, lightning, earth, wind, darkness, space, time…" He grew more astounded the more he watched, and even the Goddess of Life couldn't hide her amazement.
"What in the world?" And soon, Du Qianjue cleared up the confusion for the awe-struck divine couple.
In the divine realm, where a day equates to a year on earth, the process of Du Qianjue absorbing the soul ring seemed lengthy but was merely a blink of an eye to the divine couple.
As the process neared its end, all attributes, including the newly formed attribute of destruction, twisted together like a rope, eventually settling into the most ordinary gray-white soul force.
"This is…" Both the God and Goddess of Destruction spoke simultaneously in astonishment:
"Chaos attribute!"
"It turned out to be the chaos attribute! This attribute is not far off from the Genesis Power formed by the fusion of our life and destruction attributes," the God of Destruction's eyes brightened, his voice filled with excitement, "Green, what if he could inherit both our god positions, merge them, and with the Genesis Power and the Power of Chaos, become a new Genesis God?!"
"Genesis God…" The Goddess of Life murmured dreamily, her face a mix of emotions.
It was indeed a possibility! The Genesis Power formed by life and destruction was finite and imperfect, but the chaos attribute within Du Qianjue, which amalgamated nearly every attribute, was arguably flawless.
He simply lacked the capability and conditions to drive it forward! If assisted by the god positions of both the God and Goddess of Destruction, it wouldn't be far-fetched to recreate a Genesis God position.
If Du Qianjue accepted both their god positions, thereby becoming their successor, watching their successor recreate the Genesis God position would be an indescribably proud moment.
"Green! You've said it yourself; we'll always stand together," the God of Destruction's expression hardened, his eyes glinting with madness.
"Let's create a Genesis God together then!"
"Alright!" The Goddess of Life smiled broadly, nodding vigorously at the God of Destruction.
The God of Destruction laughed heartily, gestured with his hand, and Du Qianjue's soul floated over to the divine realm, standing before the two gods.
Before Du Qianjue could speak, the God of Destruction asked, "Would you like to accept our god positions?"
