"That's right, I have become a god. My god position is the first-level god Ice God. My current strength is roughly at the level of a second-level god. To fully inherit the Ice God's power, it will still take quite a bit of time."
Xue Di did not hide the fact that she had become a god. When she was injured in the battle against the Abyss Holy Lord and entered the Star Dou Great Forest, she had already told many people about becoming a god—for example, both Bi Ji and Zi Ji knew.
Many of the ferocious beasts present expressed shock, but since Di Tian had not yet spoken, no one interrupted. All of them turned their gazes toward Di Tian in unison.
Di Tian obliged them and opened the topic: "How did you do it, Xue Di? Logically speaking, this should be impossible."
It was an unchangeable fact that soul beasts could not become gods—even Gu Yuena could not alter it.
Xue Di's strength back then was not even equal to his own. How could she break through the divine level and the Dragon God's restrictions on soul beasts?
There were rumors that the Extreme North had an Ice God inheritance, but could it truly enable a soul beast that was unable to become a god to achieve divinity?
"After the Ice God fell, she entrusted all her remaining power to me. Simply put, I inherited her god position and all of her strength."
"And I also did not need to undergo the divine tribulation of becoming a god." Xue Di sighed as she spoke, her gaze sweeping over the many ferocious beasts whose eyes were filled with longing for godhood, and she continued,
"The way I became a god cannot be replicated by you all. Compared to that, Ning Rongrong also helped Lan Fozi become a god. Perhaps it would be easier for you to seek her out."
Xue Di tossed the topic to Ning Rongrong.
"Uh…" Ning Rongrong, who had been happily watching the drama unfold, was momentarily stunned as she sensed more than a dozen pairs of eyes all focusing on her at once.
"It's a bit troublesome to explain directly." Ning Rongrong shrugged and held up the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her palm.
Nine golden soul rings shone with dazzling light.
"All million-year soul rings!" Di Tian was astonished.
Qian Renxue had only obtained one million-year soul ring from the Skydream Iceworm. Was Ning Rongrong just cheating outright?
It wasn't just Di Tian—even Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and the other ferocious beasts all had shocked looks in their eyes.
"Nine million-year soul rings—truly Rongrong's style!"
Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched slightly.
When Ning Rongrong's soul rings could evolve to hundred-thousand-year level, he had already wondered whether it was possible for them to reach million-year level.
After all, Ning Rongrong herself had obtained a million-year soul ring through a special method. But nine million-year soul rings— wasn't that a bit excessive?
Seeing everyone's gazes lose focus and their faces filled with indescribable shock, Ning Rongrong smiled and said,
"The color of my soul rings doesn't really mean anything. I just released them to surprise you all a bit."
With that, the nine million-year soul rings began to fade…
First they turned into nine hundred-thousand-year red soul rings, then black, purple, yellow, and finally white.
"How about it? Interesting, right?"
Nine ten-year soul rings.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone—human and beast alike—the soul rings of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda completely vanished, leaving only a lone Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"I'll show you what happened before and after Lan Fozi became a god. Explaining it directly would be a hassle."
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda burst with light, and the surrounding environment underwent a dramatic change.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was suspended in midair above an boundless sea.
"This is…" Qian Renxue instinctively became vigilant.
"It's a three-dimensional projection—don't worry." Ning Rongrong said, "It's something I experienced before."
With Ning Rongrong's reminder, everyone focused their attention. After all, this involved secrets at the divine level.
"That's Xixi!"
Qian Daoliu blurted out.
Hearing Qian Daoliu call out to Bo Saixi with such deep affection, Qian Renxue couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling utterly speechless inside.
Her grandfather was licking a bit too hard.
The Spirit Hall and Bo Saixi had been mortal enemies for ages! A few years ago, Bo Saixi led Sea God Island to attack Giant Sword Mountain—there was no way to reconcile.
She hoped he could keep things clear-headed!
She had just cured one licking-dog mother, and now here came a licking-dog grandfather.
Life was too hard for her.
"How about we capture Bo Saixi and bring her back?" Watching Bo Saixi chase after Lan Fozi, Qian Renxue's eyes flickered as she pinched her chin in thought.
As an angel possessing both light and darkness, a symbol of corruption, there was no need to act so upright.
Tang Chen had been killed by her, so Bo Saixi was now an unclaimed prize.
According to the method Ning Rongrong had mentioned for appraisal, Bo Saixi should still be a virgin.
"That works, that works!"
Capturing Bo Saixi and bringing her back for Grandfather didn't seem like a bad idea.
She remembered that the Spirit Hall had a secret chamber of unknown purpose.
And it wasn't too far from the Worship Hall either.
If…
"Uh, never mind!"
Qian Renxue patted her forehead and suppressed the eager impulse.
Although she didn't know what that "secret chamber" was used for.
But… forcing someone felt a bit evil. If it reminded Bibi Dong of unhappy things, that wouldn't be good.
"Forget it."
She was the inheritor of the Angel God after all—she had no interest in secret chambers or anything like that.
The Spirit Hall had no such tradition either.
"Xixi!"
The astonished voice startled Qian Renxue. She turned her head toward the source.
Qian Daoliu stared at the three-dimensional projection, his body trembling slightly.
"One sword killing a Limit Douluo quasi-god—Young Sect Master Ning's strength is truly terrifying!" The speaker was Di Tian, his tone filled with genuine emotion.
Qian Renxue also turned her gaze forward. She saw Bo Saixi's body severed in two, gushing blood as the severed torso fell into the sea, clearly devoid of life.
"Inst… instantly killed!" Qian Renxue had only seen part of it, but Ning Rongrong effortlessly slaying a quasi-god was still deeply shocking.
"Nothing unusual." Compared to the shock of Di Tian, Qian Renxue, and the others, Xiong Jun crossed his arms, acting as though he had seen it all before.
What Ning Rongrong had done in the Extreme North was far bigger than this.
She had taken down six Abyss Emperors and completely eradicated the Abyss Calamity of the Extreme North.
Could Bo Saixi do that?
Of course not.
Since she couldn't compare, wasn't getting instantly killed perfectly normal?
Everyone continued to watch the development of the three-dimensional projection.
Ning Rongrong and Lan Fozi encountered Tang San. Ning Rongrong fought Tang San. Tang San became a god, yet he was still killed by Ning Rongrong.
"Tang San became a god and still fell!"
Even at the divine level, he was still no match for Ning Rongrong?
Qian Renxue's expression was quite complicated.
Still, she watched the three-dimensional projection intently.
Until Ning Rongrong used the domain array to absorb the thunder tribulation and used it to reshape Lan Fozi, helping her become a god.
Finally, she successfully confronted a thunder tribulation comparable to a first-level god.
Lan Fozi condensed the Water God position and became a god.
After watching everything, the group remained unable to recover from the shock for a long time.
Especially Di Tian. He himself was infinitely close to the divine level. If not for the Dragon God's rules,
he would probably have become a god long ago.
But…
Precisely because of that, he understood even more clearly just how many elements were involved in Ning Rongrong helping Lan Fozi become a god.
Soul, body, thunder tribulation, and a massive number of sea soul beasts whose "faith" was born from fear.
Missing even one, and Lan Fozi's ascension would have inevitably failed.
"Cannot be replicated—truly cannot be replicated!"
