Chapter 276: Dual God Legacy
"Jiang Li, your breadth of mind and vision truly suit my appetite!"
The moment the words fell, the God of Destruction raised his hand and pointed.
A domineering and matchless purple-black divine thunder mark instantly shot through the air, branding itself deeply onto Jiang Li's brow before fading from sight.
Immediately following, the Goddess of Life by his side also gently raised her jade hand.
A crystal-clear, emerald-green leaf divine pattern radiating extreme vitality also drifted onto Jiang Li's forehead. After shimmering alongside the purple-black destruction mark for a moment, both vanished into thin air.
"These are the Origin Legacy marks of our God Positions. Once your Cultivation in the Lower Realm truly settles at the plane limit of the Douluo Continent, the gates of the God Position Legacy trials will naturally open for you."
Having finished this, the God of Destruction's voice regained the majesty of a God King. "Kid Jiang, it's getting late. A day in the God Realm is a year in the mortal world. Although you were only up here for a moment, quite some time has likely passed in the Lower Realm. We won't keep you any longer."
"Go back and Cultivate well. Uncle Zi looks forward to the day you truly break out of your cocoon to become a god and fight by my side!"
With those words, the God of Destruction waved his sleeve.
An irresistible and mighty spatial force instantly wrapped around Jiang Li layer by layer.
In the next second, Jiang Li's figure turned into a stream of light, completely disappearing from this vibrant Forest of Life.
Watching Jiang Li's departing back, the Goddess of Life's compassionate and merciful heart could not help but overflow.
"Little Purple, do you think... little Jiang Li's proposal might be a bit too radical?"
The Goddess of Life's willow-like brows furrowed slightly, her eyes full of reluctance. "He hasn't even become a god yet, and his head is already full of thoughts about attacking other God Realms. As long as there is war, countless lives will surely suffer and fall in resentment."
"And from what I heard, he plans to use those Divine Beasts from the Lower Realm who finally managed to become gods as cannon fodder when you send troops to expand the territory... Wouldn't that be a bit too cruel to the Soul Beast clan?"
Hearing his wife's naive remarks, the corner of the God of Destruction's mouth under his cloak twitched violently.
Holy crab!
Did his overly kind wife even know what she was talking about?!
Why was she starting to show misplaced kindness again?
Not even mentioning that if they truly showed mercy and allowed the Soul Beast clan to become gods again, what a massive blessing that would be for those Soul Beasts who are treated as Soul Ring ATMs in the Lower Realm!
After all, the ironclad Law that the beast race cannot become gods was personally set by that supreme existence back then.
Over the years, how long has the God Realm been secretly hated by the Soul Beasts of the Lower Realm because of this burden?
To give them a chance to be the vanguard of the God Realm—that would be a blessing from their ancestors' graves!
Moreover, just as Kid Jiang pointed out so incisively.
If you are backward, you will be beaten!
If the God Realm doesn't take the initiative to attack and plunder resources while its Foundation is still deep, must they really wait until the day when a powerful God Realm from another unknown Universe invades and holds a knife to their throats before they queue up to die?
The God of Destruction sighed deeply in his heart. Looking at the vast God Realm now, it seemed that only Kid Jiang was his, the God of Destruction's, true kindred spirit!
Fortunately, although the Goddess of Life voiced her pity for this and that, she ultimately didn't hold him back in serious matters, so he couldn't say much to rebuke her.
Looking at his wife's exquisite face, the God of Destruction's thoughts drifted away, a hint of deep-seated tenderness and expectation flashing in his eyes.
'Once Little Green and I dump this heavy God King position onto that ambitious Kid Jiang, the absolute conflict between the Laws of Destruction and Life within our bodies will no longer exist... At that time, we should be able to conceive our own offspring like a normal couple, right?"
'Little Green's weak temperament, even after all these years, is indeed still not suited for the cruel rule and intrigues of the God Realm."
'After the child is born in the future, I'll have Little Green completely set down this burden and peacefully raise the baby in the God Realm."
The God of Destruction calculated in his heart, feeling more and more that bringing Jiang Li on board was a highly profitable deal.
...
On the other side, the Douluo Continent.
When Jiang Li felt a blur of light and shadow before his eyes and opened them again, he had already returned to that familiar place in Heaven Dou City.
A day in the God Realm is a year in the Lower Realm.
Although Jiang Li felt that his time in the Forest of Life was only long enough to have a cup of tea and chat with the God of Destruction, several weeks had already quietly passed on the calendar of the Douluo Continent.
On the construction site of the Tang Sect Academy nearby, it no longer looked like the Foundation-laying stage it was before he left.
With the efforts of many Soul Masters, rows of grand teaching buildings and mimetic cultivation environment structures had already risen from the ground; the progress was truly lightning-fast.
Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion, Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction. He didn't disturb the busy people in charge and simply turned around with his hands behind his back, returning to the Tang Sect headquarters.
...
Inside the room, Jiang Li was calculating how to increase his cultivation as quickly as possible.
If one does not become a god, one remains an ant. He couldn't just hide behind his Son during the future god wars, could he? What would that look like?
Now that his Soul Power had reached Rank 98, wanting to officially step into Rank 99 wasn't something that could be achieved just by accumulating Soul Power.
For instance, the Gold Crocodile Douluo in the Spirit Hall has been stuck at Rank 98 for countless years.
Admittedly, if he disregarded the consequences and coolly refined those seeking ones own death using the Human Emperor Banner, his strength could cross that final threshold in a short time.
However, such an increase would inevitably leave his Foundation unstable.
The number of fated people needed for refinement would be countless.
"It seems that to reach Rank 99 quickly without affecting my Foundation, there is likely only one way."
Jiang Li turned his gaze toward the north of the Empire, to the Far North Ice Plains, a place rarely visited by people in this era.
The method Jiang Li thought of was to condense a spirit core at this time, ultimately breaking through the shackles to reach the true limit of the human world and thus embark on the path to becoming a god.
In this era, those who possessed the secret method of the spirit core, aside from the group of Ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, were likely only those few in the Far North.
"I just don't know if it's in that girl Xiao Wu's Legacy memories."
Thinking this, Jiang Li flashed toward Xiao Wu's room.
If this Little Rabbit knew, he wouldn't have to make the trip.
