"To ensure there are no problems, I should aim to complete the Life and Death Reincarnation by the Eighth Soul Ring."
From life to death, and from death to life, Su Yu wasn't confident about completing these two processes within a single Soul Ring and dared not guarantee success.
Thus, the safest approach would be to attempt it by the Eighth Ring.
If it proves unfeasible, the processes can be split apart and tackled one by one.
But can Su Yu complete the Life and Death Reincarnation with a single Soul Ring?
There is a chance!
"There are no Soul Beasts related to Reincarnation on the Douluo Continent, but I can create one!"
Su Yu's eyes shone with an unprecedented light.
Life God, I might need your help this time.
...
"Hahaha, Xiaolü, even if it's not through Wisdom, this Divine Position of Reincarnation is enough to support its future growth!"
God of Destruction genuinely admired Su Yu's ambition at this moment.
Whether life or death, they both have the potential to achieve Divine King status, but Su Yu wants to merge the two to complete Reincarnation.
Even if in the initial condensation of the Divine Position external conditions are insufficient, and it only condenses to a First-level Divine Position, as time passes and the Divine Realm expands, his Divine Position will rapidly reach the Divine King Level!
Moreover, although there are many restrictions on the Divine Position, combat power isn't one of them.
Though a god's strength is constrained by the Divine Position in many ways, if the genius who condenses the Divine Position comprehends enough, they can indeed unleash power beyond their realm.
Ultimately, it all depends on one's understanding and application of the rules.
Life God looked helpless.
"Xiaoz, you must understand, he wants to create a Soul Beast that matches his Reincarnation, but I don't have enough understanding of Reincarnation to help him."
The God of Destruction was indifferent.
"It's alright; since he has such ambition, naturally, he has the confidence to complete the creation of a new species. Of course, this critical step of endowing it with life will certainly need your assistance."
"I hope he can accomplish the final step."
...
Su Yu collected some of the remaining Phoenix Blood Essence.
"For the Path of Reincarnation, Phoenix Blood Essence alone isn't enough; death is also required."
"This is what I've perceived while creating Undead Creatures." Ellex was quite helpful, directly transmitting many of his insights in creating Undead Creatures to Su Yu.
However, this direct transmission method comes at a cost, but fortunately, Su Yu now possesses a considerable amount of Power of Faith.
Ellex imprinted his insights into the Power of Faith, then infused it into Su Yu, allowing him to quickly receive this information.
The consumption wasn't especially large, about ten thousand points of Power of Faith.
The first trial rewarded Su Yu with ten thousand points, the second trial with fifty thousand, and the Soul Burial Valley yielded about four thousand points, while three thousand points were consumed during the process of completing the second trial. Additionally, when Su Yu upgraded the Fourth Soul Ring to one hundred thousand years, about forty thousand points of Power of Faith were consumed.
In total, Su Yu now has about ten thousand points of Power of Faith remaining.
"It seems that, for now, I cannot casually use the Power of Faith."
If the Soul Beast needed for the Eighth Soul Ring is to be created from scratch by himself, the years it can last is a problem; preserving Power of Faith to enhance its duration is crucial.
Su Yu doesn't want all those previous Soul Rings to be one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand years, only to have the Eighth Soul Ring turn out to be white...
Armed with Ellex's experience in creating the undead, Su Yu pondered the direction of creating new life while on the road.
From life to death, and from death to life.
The Soul Beast he creates should ideally also conform to this characteristic, this sequence.
"Since my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, it's best to focus on plant-type Soul Beasts for the experiment."
...
Half a month later, Su Yu appeared outside a small city in the southeast of the Xingluo Empire.
Wangyue City.
This is where it all began.
Entering the city, Su Yu arrived at a branch of the Hall of Myriad Households.
"Hello, can you tell me where Qian Tong is now?"
"Hmm? You're looking for Elder Qian? He completed his training and was promoted long ago; now he oversees the business at the Shrek City branch."
"Thank you."
After expressing his gratitude, Su Yu turned to leave.
He didn't leave Wangyue City immediately but returned outside the small courtyard he had once rented.
Perhaps intentionally, Su Yu's small courtyard wasn't rented to anyone else after he left.
Returning here, Su Yu was somewhat surprised.
The entire house was covered with Blue Silver Grass.
"These Blue Silver Grass here have at least reached the hundred-year level."
Back then, Su Yu had planted a large number of Blue Silver Grass in the small courtyard he rented to simulate the environment, stimulating their growth with Soul Power in his spare moments and refining them with the Power of the Stars.
Unexpectedly, these Blue Silver Grass grew so rapidly; within just five years, some had already become hundred-year Soul Beasts.
"These Blue Silver Grass have mutated, gaining the Star Attribute," the shadow of the Blue Silver Emperor appeared beside, commenting on the Blue Silver Grass before them.
Mutated into possessing the Star Attribute?
With the ability to absorb the Power of the Stars, it explains how these Blue Silver Grass grew so quickly.
The growth of Blue Silver Grass consumes little, especially when it absorbs high-quality energy like the Power of the Stars.
Su Yu infused Life Force into the Blue Silver Grass before him.
The Blue Silver Grass in the courtyard radiated unprecedented vitality once more.
"I wonder if next time I come, there will be a large bunch of thousand-year Blue Silver Grass here."
Su Yu chuckled, turning away.
...
Xingdou Great Forest.
"Elder Yi, can you sense that force pulling me?"
Guided by an invisible lead, Su Yu arrived at Xingdou Great Forest.
This time, he could clearly feel it wasn't a divine guidance.
"Hmm, that should be the Power of Destiny."
Hearing Ellex's words, Su Yu was a bit surprised.
Power of Destiny?
To be led by the Power of Destiny?
Could it be that Auspicious Beast?
Goodness, Huo Yuhao didn't hunt you down, and you came straight into my net?
Su Yu was completely speechless.
If that's the case, Xingdou Great Forest truly has bad luck to attract such an Auspicious Beast.
"Elder Yi, if we encounter danger, you must open the Gate of the Dead at the first opportunity."
There must be Fierce Beasts lurking around that Auspicious Beast, all of them at Super Douluo Levels. Su Yu wasn't confident he could counter them.
His Soul Power was nearing Level 80, and the spirit of his Advanced Battle Armor greatly enhanced, its core patterns further perfected, hence it was more powerful. Combined with his own abilities, Su Yu felt he could contend with an average Level 95 Super Douluo.
But Su Yu was unsure of the actual power level of the Fierce Beasts.
...
In Xingdou Great Forest, as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was moving, it suddenly sensed a malevolent presence.
She halted, looking around.
"What's wrong, Auspicious Beast?"
A crimson figure appeared, thinking some ignorant Soul Beast dared threaten the Auspicious Beast.
"Nothing much, just received a malevolent feedback from the Power of Destiny."
A crisp feminine voice came from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, regal yet tinged with innocence.
"Let's go, Red King, let's meet that human."
"Auspicious Beast, are you sure you want to meet a human?" Red King's dog-like face was full of concern, worried about the danger of the Auspicious Beast meeting a human.
"It's alright; even my Master approved this outing."
...
Shrek City.
Hall of Myriad Households.
Qian Tong looked surprisingly at a letter from the Wangyue City branch.
"There's not a lot of business interaction between Wangyue City and Shrek City, is there?"
Opening the letter and glancing at its content, Qian Tong burst into a hearty laugh, patting his round belly.
"I didn't misjudge him back then."
...
Shrek Academy.
Sea God Pavilion.
"Beibei, I can't thank you enough for the Dragon Pearl; without it, my injuries would be difficult to heal."
Yan Shaozhe returned a now dimmed Dragon Pearl imbued with radiant light to Beibei. Remembering the severity of his wounds, even now, after recovery, made him feel frightened. His previous battle with Zhongli Wu left him severely injured, wounding his core, with Zhongli Wu's death-infused Soul Power almost eroding Yan Shaozhe's origin.
Luckily, Beibei lent him the Dragon Pearl of the Holy Radiant Dragon passed on by Moon.
