Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 261: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

In the world of Douluo, oaths are sworn to the Angel God and the world consciousness of Douluo. These two entities do indeed influence the effectiveness of oaths to some degree, but they cannot guarantee everything. Therefore, when people swear oaths, they often add a clause like "I swear on my martial soul" after invoking the divine. The exact principle behind this is unclear, but breaking such an oath does indeed cause problems with one's martial soul. At the mildest, it can hinder the progress of soul power, and at worst, it can directly damage the martial soul or even threaten one's life. However, Chen Ming also knew that many people on the Douluo Continent seemed to break such oaths without any consequences.

Chen Ming himself had never tried this, so he didn't fully understand the underlying principles. But he did know that swearing to the origin of the universe was an entirely different matter—it was a highly serious commitment.

If swearing to the world consciousness of Douluo was equivalent to swearing to the Heavenly Dao in a fantasy world, where there's always a slim chance of surviving due to the principle "the Dao gives life," then swearing to the origin of the universe was akin to swearing to the Great Dao itself.

Not everyone is qualified to swear such an oath and even fewer dare to break it.

When the world consciousness of Douluo becomes angry, the consequences might be something like being struck by lightning, and if you leave the planet, it can't pursue you. But if the origin of the universe becomes enraged, it's essentially total annihilation, with no place to hide anywhere in the universe.

This information was casually mentioned in the God Realm Encyclopedia written by the God Destruction, who also noted that swearing to the origin of the universe requires qualification. Deities below the level of a First-Class God are generally ignored by the origin of the universe when they attempt to swear. Even those above this level must pay a price to do so.

Based on the Angel God's explanation, she intended to bear this price herself. This was a clear display of her resolve.

A promise of not threatening Douluo Star or revealing the existence of the subspace within Douluo Hall for 300 years—this was no problem at all for Chen Ming.

Under the watchful gaze of the Angel God, who had transformed into her Three-Eyed Golden Lion form, Chen Ming nodded.

"These things are already part of my responsibilities. Even without rewards, I would do them."

"Only demanding responsibility from others without offering benefits in return is a terrible practice. I've seen many people, originally without malice, develop it because of such treatment. Even I once..."

The Angel God seemed to have gone through something similar but didn't want to dwell on it.

"Your talent is exceptional. Think of this as my investment in you. Even if I fail, as long as you're here, Douluo Star won't face the risk of destruction. After all, you're a part of Douluo Star, no matter how much you dislike this world. It's still your homeland and your foundation."

"Come, follow me."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion soared into the air on golden flames, and Chen Ming flapped his wings to follow.

The space within the small world was unusual. The massive golden tree, thousands of meters tall, wasn't very close to Chen Ming. However, with the Angel God manipulating the space, the distance was altered. It took less than two minutes for the two to reach the crown of the golden tree.

Standing on a branch of the golden tree, which was large enough to house a school's sports field, Chen Ming sensed the surrounding space and couldn't help but feel admiration for the Angel God.

The space wasn't distorted; it was adjusted. Distorted spaces would eventually be corrected by natural laws, but adjusted spaces represented permanent changes. The Angel God had created a path without disrupting the surrounding space. The precision of this manipulation left Chen Ming in awe.

With a roar that sounded neither like a lion nor a dragon, the golden tree's origin was activated. The two figures standing on its branch were engulfed in golden light and transported into the inner space of the golden tree.

If the external world's elemental energy was comparable to the core of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then the energy within the golden tree was far beyond that. Nearly liquefied, it contained traces of divinity and was transitioning to immortal spiritual energy.

At the deepest part of this space lay a unique power—the aura of chaotic energy, the most primal force of the universe. Chen Ming instinctively activated his abilities, pushing his spirituality to its limits in an attempt to observe it. However, his normally effective spiritual power failed him at this moment.

Even though he could perceive fragments of the origins of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, gaining insight into the universe through their characteristics, the power of chaos was different. It only manifested during the creation or destruction of the universe. Its profundity was beyond explanation, and no one in the known universe could fully understand it.

Even the Dragon God, in the past, had only obtained fragments of this power. By slaying the Phoenix God of equal rank and absorbing its origin, the Dragon God had completed another portion. But doing so had made it a taboo within the God Realm.

The Angel God glanced back at Chen Ming but said nothing. Instead, she communicated with the golden tree. As part of the tree's origin ignited, their consciousnesses were pushed into an ethereal realm.

In the presence of the universal origin, an overwhelming torrent of information bombarded Chen Ming's mind indiscriminately. It felt as though a second had passed, but also as though ten thousand years had gone by. Chen Ming seemed to know everything but, upon reflection, realized he understood nothing.

From the Angel God's perspective, Chen Ming had merely been momentarily dazed. But in truth, not even Chen Ming could tell how much time had passed for him, or whether the concept of time even existed in this realm.

Using the golden tree's power, the Angel God guided the universal laws and urged Chen Ming to proceed.

In the presence of these laws, Chen Ming made his vow:

"I, Chen Ming, swear upon my existence that for 300 standard years of Douluo Star, I shall not threaten Douluo Star itself, nor reveal the existence of the subspace within Douluo Hall to the God Realm."

Chen Ming said only a few simple words, but the universal laws recorded both the words and their intended meaning. An invisible force wrapped around him, making him realize that his oath had been accepted.

When the oath was complete, the connection between the golden tree and the universal laws was severed. The Angel God gazed at the now dimmed golden tree with a hint of helplessness and sighed softly at Chen Ming.

"That one oath of yours consumed one percent of all the energy accumulated within Douluo Hall's dimension."

The Angel God's tone revealed her heartache for the lost energy. To put it bluntly, the energy consumed earlier was enough to create ten Super Douluos.

If it were given to a soul beast, even a foolish Soft-Boned Rabbit that might crash into tree stumps could forcibly gain 700,000 to 800,000 years of cultivation. A more talented or higher-quality soul beast could directly approach the level of a divine beast. For a fierce beast, it might even allow them to break past Douluo's world laws.

Such a cost was enormous, and the Angel God couldn't hide her frustration. She glanced at Chen Ming, transformed back into her Three-Eyed Golden Lion form, and her power surged.

"Alright, now tell me what kind of second martial soul you want. I'll adjust it for you as best as I can."
