Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 245: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

"The rules of the Douluo world are unique. Your cultivation system as a Soul Master requires absorbing soul rings to continue advancing. You just killed a soul beast, so naturally, its soul ring and the items it produced belong to you."

"I remember that the Angel God once introduced something called a soul bone. As one progresses toward godhood, it can also transform into a basic set of divine artifacts."

"We have high hopes for you. We hope you can become the next Angel—no, surpass the Angel and become the next God King of the Divine Realm."

The Goddess of Life spoke gently to Chen Ming while giving him an imprint that contained a set of coordinates.

"I once cast the divine position of the Flower God into the lower realm, waiting for a new successor. Although you do not meet the requirements of the Flower God, your vitality is already exceptional. In the future, you can visit that place to study the Flower God's divine position—it may be greatly beneficial for you when you create your divine position."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already started shaping your divine position, haven't you?"

"The Life Goddess truly lives up to the legends—I have indeed begun shaping my divine position. Under the guidance of the world's consciousness, I found the shattered divine position of the God of Sin. I divided it into three seeds, gave one to my family, and am cultivating the remaining two myself."

If the God of Destruction made Chen Ming feel somewhat uncertain—requiring some testing before fully trusting him—then the Goddess of Life was someone he could trust without hesitation.

The Goddess of Life was a true saint—not in a derogatory sense. Her attributes and essence determined that she was inherently compassionate. Though she possessed great strength, she remained detached from worldly conflicts. According to legends in the Divine Realm, she even voluntarily secluded herself to avoid taking sides.

Although her personality might be somewhat hesitant and soft, to Chen Ming at this moment, the Goddess of Life was still someone he could rely on—arguably the most trustworthy figure in the entire Divine Realm.

"The shattered divine position of the God of Sin? So, remnants of it still exist in the Douluo world? I originally thought the Divine Realm's enforcers had already recovered all broken divine positions, but it seems there are still remnants scattered across different worlds."

Hearing this, the God of Destruction interjected, momentarily setting aside the matter of the God of Asura. As the principal deity of the Seven Deadly Sins, he had something to say.

"You must handle the divine position of the God of Sin with extreme caution. While it possesses great potential, it is also the most prone to losing control."

"My subordinates—the Gods of the Seven Deadly Sins—are all among the strongest first-level gods. However, even they struggle with the emotional influences of their divine positions."

"If not properly guided, one could easily fall completely under the power of sin and become a true evil god."

The God of Destruction thought for a moment before retrieving a crystal from his chest and tossing it to Chen Ming. The moment it touched Chen Ming, the deep purple crystal merged into his body.

"This crystal will ensure you don't lose control. Even if you suffer an attack powerful enough to destroy both your body and soul, it will preserve a part of your soul and life force. Consider it my form of assistance. The Seven Deadly Sins are my subordinate gods—I cannot solve their problems, but I also do not wish to see new deities suffer from the same issue."

"If, in the future, you find a way to counteract the emotional corruption caused by the power of sin, I'd like to seek your guidance. Perhaps it could help ease the struggles of the Seven Deadly Sins."

"Do you have any other questions? If not, the two of us will help you absorb this soul ring and soul bone, and then you will need to return to your world."

"Interfering with the lower realm is already improper. If we stay too long, it will become difficult to explain."

The God of Destruction's words were merely an excuse—he knew the real reason.

Among the Five God Kings, three were indifferent to governance, leaving only him and the Goddess of Life to maintain the Divine Realm. Even if a vote were required, they held absolute voting power.

Moreover, this involved the Sword of Judgment Across the Three Realms, a powerful secret technique. If they informed the other God Kings, they wouldn't object to the God of Destruction's actions. They might even send down their divine consciousness to observe.

What he truly wanted to know was: What exactly had Asura done?

Why was he interfering with the lower realm?

How was he controlling the Rakshasa God's divine power?

Why was he targeting the successor of the Angel God?

Where was the Rakshasa God, and why was her power under Asura's control?

Where was the Angel God, and why had she not responded despite her successor being affected by external forces?

The God of Destruction had some unsettling suspicions, but he hoped he was wrong.

Because if his suspicions were correct—if the God of Asura had secretly acted against the Rakshasa and the Angel—then he, along with the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Good and God of Evil, would have no choice but to put Asura on trial.

"God of Destruction, I have one more question. Are there any deities in the Divine Realm currently in need of successors? I believe that the talents of my companions are quite exceptional, and I want to see if they have the potential to inherit a divine position."

"Oh?" The God of Destruction nodded thoughtfully, then casually pulled out a long list from the void and handed it to Chen Ming.

"Sea God, Fire God, Water God, God of War, God of Speed, God of Food, Goddess of Seven Colors, God of Forging, God of Defense..."

The list was long, covering everything from first-level gods to Divine Realm enforcers. Chen Ming indeed found a few positions that piqued his interest—ones that his companions might have a chance of inheriting.

"God Destruction, my companion here is the finest blacksmith in our realm. He has already reached the stage of Heavenly Refinement, where metal is imbued with spiritual life and talent during the forging process, followed by transcending tribulation. Do you think he is capable of undertaking the God of Forging's divine trial?"

Chen Ming pointed at the unconscious Lou Gao and spoke to the God of Destruction.

To be honest, although many divine positions were waiting for successors, very few were truly suitable for the people around Chen Ming.

His uncle and grandfather had no potential to become gods. Even if they were to inherit a divine position, it would have to be as a divine officer or a Divine Realm enforcer. Rather than going through that trouble, it would be easier for Chen Ming to bring them into the Divine Realm after he ascended.

Dugu Bo, with his pseudo-half-god position as the Snake God, would at least reach the level of a third-level god in the future. At that point, he could also help Dugu Yan barely inherit a divine position.

To be frank, third-level gods were nothing special. While they were stronger than those in the Douluo Continent, in the grand scale of the universe, they were merely elite mobs or high-tier cannon fodder.

Chen Ming was tempted by the inheritance of the God of Strength and God of Speed, but he understood that the gods wouldn't approve of his current companions. Only Lou Gao might barely catch the attention of the God of Forging.

If he had the ability in the future, he wanted to help Golden Crocodile Douluo—the one who had tried to help him escape—to inherit the divine trial of the God of Strength.

Although Golden Crocodile Douluo was over 200 years old, he was at Rank 98—just a step away from Rank 99. If the God of War wasn't too picky and wanted to leave quickly, he probably wouldn't mind granting Golden Crocodile Douluo a divine trial.

After all, inheriting the position in just a few years without requiring much additional effort or faith power—why would a god seeking to leave refuse such an opportunity?

"This is not for me to decide. I must ask the God of Forging. But if your companion is truly as skilled as you claim, then even if I wanted to keep the God of Forging here, he would not pass up this opportunity."

The God of Destruction squinted slightly and nodded, agreeing to ask on Chen Ming's behalf.

Though the God of Forging was only a second-level god, his importance surpassed that of most first-level gods. As the greatest blacksmith in the Divine Realm, he crafted the weapons and armor of countless deities.

Ever since his ascension, nearly every Divine Realm enforcer and divine officer had wielded equipment forged by him. He alone had significantly increased the overall strength of the Divine Realm.

If the God of Forging could find a successor, it would be a great benefit to the Divine Realm. Even if the successor lacked the strength to inherit the divine position, they could still be elevated to the Divine Realm as a divine officer to assist the God of Forging.

PS: For sure, the Flower God position is reserved for Lingling.
