Chapter 193: God Position and the Nine Divine Trials: The Path to Godhood
[Dad Douluo]: In the original work, Tang San relied on the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to obtain the Sea God's inheritance and ultimately became the Sea God.
That being said,
Lin Qingmo knew very clearly that becoming the Sea God was not as simple as obtaining the inheritance item.
Obtaining the Sea God's token, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, was merely a necessary prerequisite to initiate the Sea God's Nine Trials.
But the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was the Sea God's token, not something that would allow just anyone to become a god.
Only those recognized by it were eligible to undergo the highest-level trials.
And Tang San, after stopping Qian Renxue's coup against the Heaven Dou Empire, was awarded this item by the Heaven Dou royal family for his merits.
Afterward, Tang San led the Shrek Seven Devils to Sea God Island. Only after passing the initial test of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar did he officially qualify to undergo the Sea God's trials.
The qualification for the Sea God's divine trials did not mean inheriting the Sea God's divine position.
Anyone who met the qualifications could participate in the trials.
Just like the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils, who also participated in divine trials and obtained various benefits.
But in the end, they could not obtain the Sea God's divine position.
On Sea God Island, because Tang San possessed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, his trial level was directly evaluated as the highest level—the "Sea God's Nine Trials."
Thus, Tang San became the first person in history to trigger this trial.
This marked the official beginning of the Sea God's Nine Trials.
Only by completing the Sea God's Nine Trials could Tang San become the Sea God.
…
Extreme North.
The Snow Empress was utterly shocked, her stunning face flickering between light and shadow.
The cold aura around her spread uncontrollably outward.
"The inheritance of a divine position! With it, one can become a god?"
Gods were legendary existences that both humans and soul beasts longed to become.
Humans sought power and immortality.
Soul beasts wished to avoid destruction under repeated heavenly tribulations.
Not long ago, through the chat group, the Snow Empress had already learned from Lin Qingmo about the existence of gods and the God Realm.
But regarding how to become a god, Lin Qingmo had not mentioned a single word.
And now, Lin Qingmo had brought up the topic of divine position inheritance.
This inevitably led the Snow Empress to speculate that divine position inheritance was the way to become a god.
"That Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is in the human world, within the Heaven Dou Empire."
The Snow Empress's expression changed; her breathing quickened.
Even she could not help but feel the urge to immediately head to the human world and seize the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud tied to divine inheritance.
…
On the other side, the Ice Empress was equally unable to remain calm.
A divine position!
She knew better than anyone what a divine position meant.
It was the opportunity to shed her identity as a soul beast, escape the threat of heavenly tribulations, truly become a god, and achieve eternal life!
"There really are divine positions in this world, and even inheritance tokens for them!"
The Ice Empress's body trembled slightly.
Looking at Lin Qingmo's avatar on the light screen, waves surged violently in her heart.
…
Inside the Crown Prince's residence in Heaven Dou City.
Qian Renxue looked at the messages on the light screen, her heart pounding wildly.
Her golden eyes were filled with shock and ecstasy.
"The Heaven Dou royal family actually possesses something related to divine inheritance?"
Like Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue naturally knew of the existence of divine position inheritance.
Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had once told her the legend of becoming a god.
In ancient times, the Angel God had also been an ordinary human.
At that time, people lived in sin and suffering, enduring endless torment.
It was she who wielded the Holy Sword, eliminating all sin and suffering in the world, helping humanity escape from misery, and becoming a great hero revered and worshipped by all.
It was precisely the power of faith gathered from countless humans that allowed Her to break through from rank ninety-nine to rank one hundred, ascend, and become a god.
The inheritance of the Angel God resided within Spirit Hall, and she herself was the successor to the Angel God mentioned by her grandfather.
Divine position inheritance truly existed.
"But… is the information he mentioned real or fake?"
Qian Renxue's gaze flickered.
"This matter is of great importance. Whether true or false, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud must be obtained."
Right now, she was impersonating the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, the future heir of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Obtaining the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was practically within easy reach.
A smile curved on Qian Renxue's lips.
She had already begun planning how to find an excuse to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from her "father," Emperor Xue Ye.
…
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Ah Yin's true form, the Blue Silver Emperor, gently swayed its branches.
Looking at the messages on the chat screen, waves surged within her heart.
A divine position!
If she could obtain a divine position inheritance, would she have a chance to truly revive and return to Ah Qing's side?
Staring at the screen, her heart could not calm down for a long time.
…
"If I get that item, can I become a god?"
Ning Rongrong was extremely excited.
She wondered whether she should tell her father about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
After all, her father was very close to Emperor Xue Ye.
…
"Becoming a god…"
A burning desire appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
But soon, that burning desire gradually cooled.
She was still too weak. Such an opportunity had nothing to do with her.
Zhu Zhuqing had a clear understanding of herself.
Even knowing about divine positions, she did not qualify to intervene.
Not to mention that Lin Qingmo, who was stronger and had greater backing than her, had already set his sights on it.
She could not even get past the Heaven Dou royal family.
Moreover, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was also a national treasure-level soul tool of the Heaven Dou royal family.
…
"Ah Qing actually even knows about something like this?"
In Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong stood up in shock at Lin Qingmo's words.
A terrifying gleam flashed through her purple eyes.
A divine position!
She herself possessed the inheritance of the Rakshasa God and divine trials, so she understood better than anyone the importance of a divine position.
The Sea God's divine position was a chief god-level position on the same level as the Angel God and the Rakshasa God!
"That Tang San will rely on this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in the future to inherit the Sea God's divine position and ascend to the God Realm?"
No!
Absolutely not!
Bibi Dong's gaze instantly turned ruthless.
Tang San must not be allowed to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!
If Ah Qing wanted it, then she would help him seize it!
The future should be hers and Ah Qing's, becoming gods together!
This item must not fall into Tang San's hands, nor could Tang San be allowed the chance to become a god and become an obstacle to her and Ah Qing!
Bibi Dong had even begun considering whether to immediately send someone to the Heaven Dou imperial palace to steal the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and deliver it to Lin Qingmo.
[The Pope Herself]: Ah Qing, do you want to become a god?
[Dad Douluo]: Of course. Coming to the Douluo Continent and not becoming a god would be too low.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: So you want to go to the Heaven Dou Empire to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and become the Sea God?
Liu Erlong was also stunned by Lin Qingmo's revelation.
For a moment, she even thought about seizing it and becoming a god.
But she quickly calmed down.
With a bitter smile, she said, "Sigh, what am I getting excited for? No matter how you think about it, this thing could never fall into my hands."
If Lin Qingmo wanted it, he could simply have his master, a Titled Douluo, forcibly take it.
How could a mere Soul Saint like her have any right to interfere?
[Dad Douluo]: I do want to become a god, but I don't like the Sea God's divine position.
[Little Witch]: ???
[Big-Chested Kitty]: Don't like it...
[Ice and Snow Maiden]: I didn't expect such an answer from you. Truly surprising.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Tsk, as expected of you.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Ah Qing, th-that's a divine position...
[Bingbing]: Hey! That's a divine position, and you're saying you don't like it?
"Even I'm desperate for it, yet he actually says he doesn't like it?"
The hot-tempered Ice Empress wished she could rush over to Lin Qingmo, crack open his skull, and see what kind of brain he had.
If she weren't a soul beast but a human, she would have already rushed to the Heaven Dou Empire to seize it.
