"Was this an accident, or was it expected?" Chen Ming shook his hand, looked up at the sky, and felt somewhat gloomy inside.
That divine power with negative attributes clearly came from a certain God King in the Divine Realm.
And in the original timeline, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, along with the Yearning Heartbroken Red, had been one of Tang San's greatest opportunities and sources of help.
Perhaps that hidden hand had long been watching everything in the lower world from the Divine Realm, trying to push the development of the world below.
It was not strange.
After all, in the original story, the Asura God's divine trials already carried a strong feeling of a god forcibly stepping in. Tang San, who inherited the Asura God position, also interfered with the Douluo world later.
So it was very reasonable for Asura God himself to have some kind of scheme.
Sea God probably doesn't know about this…
Among the three Douluo gods, he was the one who seemed most eager to run off after throwing away his god position. His motives, reasons, and actions were all reasonable…
But right now, the Angel God and Rakshasa God are both in a state where their life and death are unknown.
Are those two great gods still in the Divine Realm? Did something else happen to them? Or have they already fallen?
If there's no other choice, I'll go to Sea God Island and take a look.
Among the three Douluo gods, the only one confirmed to still be alive is Sea God…
In the original Douluo story, Tang San could bear two gods in one body.
At worst, I can also bear two gods in one body.
Sea God is eager to leave, and he also has bloodline descendants in the Douluo world. He protects his own too.
Although he isn't someone I can fully trust, he is still someone I can communicate with and try to build a relationship with.
It will definitely take some extra effort, but if there's really no other way, the Sea God position is also an option for me.
Among the current god positions in the Divine Realm, there actually isn't any that fits me especially well.
The ones most suited to me should be things like God of Technology, God of Civilization, God of Knowledge, or God of Development.
After that would be a god position related to the dragon clan, and then something like God of Forging…
Let's first see if I can get the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud…
Right, I remember that thing is also a soul tool. A very powerful one at that.
I wonder if Sea God had any connection to the people who mastered soul tool technology back then.
The true form of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was the core of the Sea God Trident, the "Sea God's Heart."
But its position was not that of a so-called divine weapon or a tool refined by a god. It was a god-level soul tool.
It truly had four powerful skills: invisibility, control, group attack, and single-target attack.
And from the looks of it, it did not seem to be one body with the Sea God Trident itself. It looked more like an added part attached later.
It was very possible that this thing had once been a special and powerful soul tool. Later, it fused with Sea God's Martial Soul trident before he became a god, and finally grew and transformed together with it into the Sea God's Heart.
If it was a divine weapon, then it had great research value.
But if it was a soul tool that grew by merging with a Martial Soul and rose to god level, then its research value would more than double.
Although the Heaven Dou imperial family valued this thing greatly and kept it inside the treasury without showing it to outsiders, it had been a very long time since anyone had gained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's approval. It had also been a very long time since anyone could use it.
The Heaven Dou imperial family only knew it was a soul tool. They did not know its true value.
With Chen Ming's current identity and the things he had in his hands, he should be able to exchange for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming already had a plan.
"Xiao Wu, what level is your cultivation now?"
"Level 38. Why?" Xiao Wu said. "I'm planning to condense a black Spirit Ring for my fourth one, just like you. With my current body and spiritual power, doing that won't be hard."
As she spoke, Xiao Wu released her Martial Soul and showed her Spirit Rings.
Rabbit ears grew from the top of her head, and her young girl-like figure began to change. Her hips also became more perky. Although they were covered by her leather pants, it was clear that the rabbit tail that appeared after Martial Soul possession had also emerged.
Theoritically, the tails of the rabbits Chen Ming had seen in his previous life were actually quite long. They were just curled up together.
But this was Douluo...
The rabbit tails here really were just short little balls.
Unlike in the original story, Xiao Wu's current Spirit Rings were one yellow and two purple. In this era, that was the setup of a top genius.
The reason it was only called top genius and not unprecedented was because the Douluo Heart Method had greatly increased a Spirit Master's cultivation speed while also reducing the pressure Spirit Rings placed on the body. Together with the various methods Chen Ming had openly released, it had made it possible for someone close to the Spirit Grandmaster level to bear a thousand-year Spirit Ring as their second ring.
Although there still had not truly been a Spirit Master whose second Spirit Ring was already at the thousand-year level, raising the limit of the second Spirit Ring to around nine hundred years was no longer a problem. It seemed only a matter of time before Spirit Masters broke through that limit and reached a thousand years.
The Spirit Rings Xiao Wu condensed were a manifestation of her own origin. In theory, this kind of Spirit Ring placed less than one-third of the pressure of a normal Spirit Ring on the body.
Before she used up her origin, Xiao Wu could condense her own Spirit Rings by herself. Every increase in her bearing limit was a huge change for her.
It was also because she could clearly feel her own progress that Xiao Wu complained about being grounded while still working hard in cultivation. She had poured all the energy she once used for eating, drinking, and playing into training.
If Chen Ming had this kind of talent, his first Spirit Ring could probably have reached two or three thousand years, his second ring close to nine thousand years, and his third ring ten thousand years...
Of course, his current Spirit Ring setup was only higher than Xiao Wu's, not lower.
Across his two Martial Souls, he had three hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings and four hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bones in total. Just saying that out loud would scare a group of people to death.
Even if Chen Ming showed his Spirit Rings, other people's first reaction probably would not be belief. Instead, they would think he had used some method to hide the true colors of his Spirit Rings and disguised black rings as red ones.
"In a while, I'll help you research a method to hide your aura. Haven't you been stuck here for too long and wanted to go outside? When the time comes, you can just stay by my side."
"Ooooooh!"
Xiao Wu jumped up excitedly. With one leap, she landed in front of Chen Ming, threw her arms around him, and kissed him directly.
