Chapter 219 (Four-in-One Chapter)
"Not a god from the divine realm? And isn't the God-King the highest level in this world?"
"The Lord of Light established a pantheon, a separate lineage with its own domain. Therefore, the Lord of Light doesn't need to squeeze into a small divine realm with the other gods. As for you, you were nurtured by me. So, when I become the new Lord of Light, you will automatically be incorporated into my pantheon. If I fail to complete the tasks assigned to me by the Lord of Light, then you will have to return to the Lord of Light's original pantheon!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo didn't ask any further questions. Dugu Bo understood his own talent well, so he naturally knew that with his talent, he was simply incapable of becoming a god on his own. At this moment, as long as the Lord of Light could assist him in becoming a god and extend his lifespan, that was enough for him! As for who the Lord of Light was, he didn't care at all!
"I wonder if there is a way to break this curse on our family?"
"There isn't a good solution. After all, this is a curse imposed by the planet's will. To put it bluntly, if your family hadn't been doing good deeds and accumulating merit since that ancestor, the Nine Star Begonia family might have been destroyed and its lineage broken!"
"Your Highness, could the deity who gave the order to hunt down the Nine Star Begonia family be the God of Life?" Dugu Bo suddenly remembered what Migu had said and asked curiously.
Miguel was also puzzled by this, so he asked the system, "System, which deity issued the order to hunt down the Third Sect?"
"Ding! It was the Asura God who hinted to the Sea God! Although Douluo Continent is the homeland of the Dragon God, the Dragon God did not leave behind the secret method of seizing divine power by sacrificing lives. As you know, there are four factions in the God Realm, and the Asura faction is the weakest among the three God King factions. Once someone inherits the position of the God King of Life, it will definitely break the balance of power in the God Realm, which will be very detrimental to the Asura lineage. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance, the Asura plotted against Ye Lingling's ancestor. After that, in order to prevent Ye Lingling's ancestor's descendants from knowing the truth, they finally had the Sea God issue a divine decree!"
Hearing this, Miguel didn't know what to say, but he understood Shura's actions. Before reaching the limit, a Douluo's godhood is a catalyst for accelerating cultivation, but once the limit is reached, the level becomes an obstacle to progress.
If Ye Lingling's ancestor becomes a god, then in just a few years, she will be able to become the new God King of Life. The position of God King of Destruction is not easy to inherit. The God King of Life will definitely keep the God King of Destruction company and will not leave the God Realm alone. At that time, there will be three God Kings in the God King of Life's camp, which will definitely break the balance of power among the various forces in the God Realm!
Seeing Migu's constantly changing expression, Dugu Bo and the others understood that there were many things involved, making it difficult for Migu to respond. Dugu Bo then said, "Your Highness, if it's inconvenient, let's not discuss this matter further!"
"It is indeed a bit inconvenient. If your strength has not reached the level of a first-level god, then you should pretend you don't know about this."
Hearing Miguel's reply, everyone expressed their understanding. At this moment, Ye Lingling asked, "Your Highness, is there really no solution?"
"Of course there are. The first way is to break through to level 100 and become a god. Although the bloodline curse placed on you by the planet's will is strong, it is useless against gods. As for the second way, abandon your current physical body, and then the bloodline curse will be useless!"
Upon hearing Miguel's words, everyone felt he was being out of touch with reality, but considering his background, they understood his mindset was understandable. Although Miguel initially struggled to make ends meet, after awakening his martial spirit, he was no longer a lowly commoner. Furthermore, the knowledge Miguel possessed was far too advanced; what he considered easy might be difficult for them, which was perfectly normal.
After noticing the looks in everyone's eyes, Miguel roughly guessed what they were thinking. He then explained the benefits of becoming a follower of the Lord of Light to them. After a brief examination, everyone understood Miguel's meaning.
"Your Highness, do you mean to make Soul Masters who awaken the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul become followers of the Lord of Light?"
"Yes, as long as your faith level meets the standard, it's quite easy for me to give you a new body."
After hearing Miguel's words, Ye Lingling began to consider the pros and cons of the matter. However, after some thought, she couldn't come up with a clear answer. After all, she could only make her own decisions, not her grandfather's. She had no right to make choices for him.
"Your Highness, may I go home and discuss this with my grandfather?"
"Okay, but you shouldn't go home for a while, since you came here to be with Dugu Yan! By the way, you should both sign this contract."
After obtaining the contract, Dugu Bo began to examine it. After reading the contents of the contract, he understood Miguel's intentions. However, considering that these matters were indeed not suitable for public disclosure, he signed the contract.
Seeing that Dugu Bo had already signed the contract, everyone understood that there was nothing wrong with it, so they signed it without even looking at it! After signing the contract, Miguel took Dagrass and left.
The next afternoon, Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived, looking travel-worn. Upon reaching the courtyard, he anxiously called out, "Your Highness, where are you? And where is the immortal herb you told me about?"
Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice, Miguel led Daglas out of the room. To be honest, Miguel was somewhat shocked when he heard Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice. After all, Spirit City wasn't very close to Heaven Dou City, and the fact that Chrysanthemum Douluo had arrived meant that he had traveled day and night. However, this also showed how tempting the immortal herb was to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
The moment Miguel saw Chrysanthemum Douluo, he could clearly sense Chrysanthemum Douluo's fatigue, so he said, "Elder Chrysanthemum, there's no rush. Why don't you rest for a bit?"
"No need, I'm perfectly fine!"
Miguel could clearly sense Chrysanthemum Douluo's excitement, so he didn't try to persuade him any further. Instead, he spoke directly to Poison Douluo, who had come into the courtyard, and said, "Dugu Bo, take us to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"
After hearing Miguel's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo asked with great curiosity, "Your Highness, what is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye?"
"You'll see when we get there. You might recognize it, but you'll just call it by a different name."
Chrysanthemum Douluo understood Miguel's explanation. Soon, led by Poison Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Miguel, and Daglas arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. After seeing the actual scene, Chrysanthemum Douluo understood what Miguel meant. In the information he had consulted, this environment was called the Ice and Fire Hot Pot.
Because Chrysanthemum Douluo had spent his entire life searching for immortal herbs, but had never found a single one, he was now seeing the numerous immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. He was both crying and laughing at the same time. Finally, after seeing the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum Douluo kept muttering, "Why! Why couldn't I have found you sooner!"
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's outburst, Poison Douluo was once again shocked by the preciousness of the herbs in the Yin-Yang Well. Having fought Chrysanthemum Douluo for half his life, he naturally knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo would not have acted so out of control if he had not been greatly provoked!
"Your Highness, is Chrysanthemum Pass alright?"
"It's okay, he'll be fine once he's vented!"
Hearing Miguel's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. In a way, Chrysanthemum Douluo was his colleague; it wouldn't be good if he were to be provoked into a frenzy! After venting for a quarter of an hour, Chrysanthemum Douluo's emotions gradually stabilized. At this moment, Miguel asked, "Elder Chrysanthemum, are these herbs ripe?"
After hearing Miguel's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo began to carefully observe the ripening status of all the herbs. After another quarter of an hour, Chrysanthemum Douluo replied, "Your Highness, time is a bit tight. I have only glanced through them. I found that the ordinary and half-step immortal herbs have ripened. The immortal herbs are not yet ripe, but they will be soon, within the next few years. However, in order to maximize the efficacy of the immortal herbs, it would be best to postpone it for a while."
"Just tell me when you can start picking them!"
"Your Highness, it should be ready in about eight or nine years!"
Upon hearing this, Miguel immediately did the calculations and discovered that these immortal herbs would only mature when Tang San was around thirty-one years old, while Tang San obtained them at around twelve years old. It was obvious that these herbs were prepared specifically for Tang San.
Seeing Miguel's face growing darker and darker, and realizing there was something wrong with the ripening time, he asked, "Brother, is there something wrong with these immortal herbs?"
"It's nothing. By the way, how's your study of Whisper of Nature going?"
"What does my brother want me to ask him?"
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire has existed for so long without being discovered by outsiders, but it has now been discovered. I want to know if the breaking of the barrier was an accident or a natural occurrence. In addition, although the growth cycle of immortal herbs is long, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire has the effect of accelerating the growth of immortal herbs. So many years should have been enough for them to mature, but they have not matured yet. I would like to ask what the reason is."
Upon hearing Miguel's words, Daglas began to use the Whisper of Nature to inquire about the surrounding immortal herbs. At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo asked with a curious expression, "Your Highness, what is the purpose of the Whisper of Nature?"
"Nature's Whisper is a divine art of the Elven race, which allows them to communicate with intelligent plants and even spirit beasts."
Miguel then stopped talking. After hearing Miguel's explanation, Chrysanthemum Douluo also marveled at the wonder of this divine technique. As for Dugu Bo, he was curious about what kind of race the elves were, and why he had never heard of them before.
"Your Highness, are elves a special race? And I've lived on this continent for so long, why have I never heard of elves?"
"Because the elves are not creatures from the Douluo Continent, you have never heard of them. Speaking of the elves, we must mention the Mother of Gods, Her Majesty Yggdrasil, who is one of the ancient gods of the world and holds the three great powers of nature, life, and elves."
Her good friends include Hela, the goddess of death and ruler of the underworld; the god of forging among the dwarves; Reinhardt, the patriarch of the dragon race and the platinum dragon king; and the rulers of light and darkness, among others.
In ancient times, due to the endless battles fought by a group of ancient gods for their own interests, many intelligent races on the continent were destroyed, resulting in the depletion of life on the continent. It was in this environment that His Holiness Yggdrasil created a silver race, the elves, to reshape the world and restore its vitality. Because of the elves' contributions and their innate affinity with nature, the elves are also known as the children of nature.
According to the power system of Douluo Continent, early-stage Silver level strength is roughly equivalent to a newly ascended Soul Douluo level expert. The Elf race is a Silver level race, which means that even if an Elf never trains, their strength can still reach the Soul Douluo level upon reaching adulthood.
"Does such a naturally powerful race really exist?" Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed in disbelief.
"The Elf race is such a race, and their lifespan can reach thousands of years even without cultivation."
"Dagris, this time we're using the Elven race's signature skill, Elven Whisper. Elves are naturally attuned to nature, and they live alongside magical beasts in the Elven Forest. This is how they communicate with all living creatures in the forest to obtain the information they need."
Under normal circumstances, magical beasts, similar to the soul beasts in Douluo Continent, would never attack elves. On the contrary, if an elf is in trouble, magical beasts that are friendly with elves will even take the initiative to help.
Of course, as long as the monsters aren't utterly wicked, the elves will also help them. For example, if a monster is injured, the elves will even actively seek their help to heal it, and they will save it as long as it's not an utterly wicked monster. If an utterly wicked monster is having a difficult childbirth, they will also help the mother without expecting anything in return.
"I'm just curious, if a human were to encounter trouble in the forest, would the elves come to their rescue?"
"In the beginning, the elves treated all creatures equally. However, due to human greed, ingratitude, and lust for the beauty of the elves, eighty percent of the elves who rescued humans were betrayed by their rescuers shortly after leaving the elven settlement. Subsequently, the elven community would be hunted and besieged by slave hunters. If not careful, the entire elven community would be destroyed because of human greed. Although the elves are kind, they are not saints. Therefore, after humans wiped out more than twenty small communities, very few elves rescued humans anymore."
"The elves of the Elf race are very beautiful? Even if they are extremely beautiful, it's not worth offending a god!" Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed in bewilderment.
"Although I am also human, I have to admit that humans are extremely greedy creatures. There is nothing that humans will not do for profit; as the saying goes, 'Man dies for wealth, birds die for food.'"
The elves are magical beings created by His Majesty Yggdrasil. The men are naturally handsome, and the women beautiful. To give an imperfect example, even the least attractive elf is only slightly less beautiful than Dugu Yan. Moreover, the entire race is capable of cultivation. Humans are drawn to the elves' beauty and long lifespan. Furthermore, the offspring of humans and elves are classified as half-elves. Although their lifespan is only half that of elves, every half-elf child can cultivate. Such a beneficial thing for improving the family's cultivation talent—aren't you tempted?
For most people, the wealth they could obtain from hunting an elf was enough to live a comfortable life. Therefore, even with the protection of their gods, the elves still had no shortage of people eyeing them; after all, even the greatest gods could not completely prevent human greed.
Upon hearing Miguel's words, both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Poison Douluo fell into deep thought. After some questioning, Daglas also learned the details from the group of immortal herbs. When replying to Miguel, Daglas couldn't help but complain about the low intelligence of these immortal herbs.
