Chapter 43: I Can Only Suffer Asura for a While
"Xiao Zi, it's okay. I think the godhood in him is almost condensed. He will become a god and enter the realm of the gods in the future."
"It won't be too late to ask then."
The Goddess of Life lies in the arms of God of destruction. Even if the two suppress the power within their bodies, they can only hug each other.
"Well, Xiao Lu, we will have a cute baby."
While the two were being affectionate, the Goddess of Life suddenly thought of something and said, "I remember that Asura seemed to have chosen a successor on the Douluo plane. I'm afraid there will be trouble."
"Hehe, he deserves it. I've seen him repeatedly interfere in the lower worlds and put him in solitary confinement for a few days. I didn't expect that he still hasn't changed his bad habits."
"When his successor can't compete with that person, he can only be helpless and furious. I can feel that now that person has the fighting power of a God King—maybe even I may not be able to kill him."
God of Destruction has long disliked Asura. As a God King, if he doesn't set an example, he is simply scum in the God Realm.
"Well, let him be. But although you can't interfere in the lower worlds, you can keep an eye on Asura to prevent him from doing harm to others."
The Goddess of Life was worried that Asura, who doesn't have martial ethics might attack Qian Xunfeng's relatives. She softly reminded him.
"Yes, I'll keep an eye on him until he becomes a god."
Anyway, the God of Destruction had nothing better to do. He thought he would soon live at the gate of Asura Palace, so he wouldn't let Asura go.
"Well, I can only make Asura suffer."
The Goddess of Life looked at God of Destruction's serious expression, suppressed her divine power to the lowest, and kissed him on the face.
"Xiao Lu."
"Xiao Zi."
The two looked at each other affectionately in silence. It was a pity they couldn't do anything after all. Before energy was symbiotic, they could only make a mess.

As Qian Xunfeng slowly woke up in the secret room, he exhaled a turbid breath, his eyes shimmering with vitality.
"I am invincible under the God King. I will exchange one for one above the God King."
Walking out of the secret room, Qian Xunfeng felt refreshed. At this moment, the energy of the four angel kings in his body had transformed into four soul cores, assisting each other.
He might be the only one in the world capable of creating four soul cores. However, this method of soul-core development could be passed down to further strengthen the Spirit Hall.
The seventh test of God of Order: As a supreme god, you should have the world in mind. The cultivation system of the Douluo Continent is too rough. Establish the soul world, recruit the seven beast gods, and balance the relationship between humans and soul beasts.
Task rewards: 15% authority of God of Order, transforming soul rings into divine rings.
"Soul world?"
After understanding the concept of the soul world, Qian Xunfeng grasped its significance.
The soul world is a special beast realm. Humans can obtain soul rings transformed through the soul platform via communication, combat, and other methods, gaining recognition from the spirit soul.
Choosing only the soul ring, the spirit soul continues to retreat. When the soul master dies, the cultivation of the soul ring is reclaimed—90% is absorbed by heaven and earth, with only 10% remaining for the soul beast.
Of course, the spirit soul cannot control the soul master due to the existence of the equal contract.
If one becomes a god, the soul ring becomes a god ring, and the soul beast can enhance its power within tolerable limits.
It's akin to the soul beast granting part of its power to form a soul ring, which the soul master then uses to breakthrough. If the soul master dies unexpectedly, the soul ring reverts to the spirit soul.
However, this benefit is small—after all, a soul master needs nine soul rings. It's more suitable for weaker soul beasts that cherish their cultivation.
Powerful 100,000-year soul beasts can also become portable spiritual soul rings, directly occupying seven rings.
Similar to transformation, the first seven soul rings do not need to be obtained; a 100,000-year soul can automatically condense the optimal soul ring age.
The eighth and ninth rings are formed through joint efforts between the 100,000-year soul beast and the soul master. Whether the spirit soul can evolve into a 200,000-year beast depends on whether the soul master can afford the cultivation.
In this symbiotic relationship, if the host becomes a god, the soul also ascends, transforming into a divine beast. If the host dies, the soul dies too.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
From this perspective, humans are at a disadvantage, but they can still cooperate. Using the rules of the soul world, they can allow spirit souls to join their families and coexist.
For example, the Green Water Turtle family might reach a contract with the Green Water Turtle beast and coexist peacefully— the turtle becomes a soul ring, and the family raises spirit souls.
However, there is a flaw: the soul world may turn originally dead soul beasts into evil beasts, which could appear on the Douluo Continent. They can explode soul rings and bones, and they will not be truly killed—they only dissipate and reappear through the influence of evil spirits between heaven and earth. As long as human greed persists, evil beasts won't disappear.
Moreover, the soul rings of evil beasts tend to have the nature of bewitching, which can breed individuals with malicious intent who fall and become evil soul masters.
Nonetheless, it can be regarded as a normal balance.
"No rush."
Looking at the world core in his hand, Qian Xunfeng took it. To perfect this world, he would need to use divine power to build it gradually—at least six years.
He only needed to create a prototype, and then establish the seven beast gods to manage and refine the world.
"For the seven beast gods, let's assign: Ah Yin, Ah Rou, Xue'er, Bing'er, Gu Yuena, Biji, and Di Tian."
He couldn't turn the positions of the seven beast gods into harem, so he directly appointed Biji and Di Tian. These were considered more reliable among the soul beasts.
More trustworthy than Gu Yuena, who relied on her appearance, and Di Tian, favored by Qian Xunfeng for his loyalty.
As for Zi Ji, he would see how Di Tian arranged her.
"Let's start with this plan."
After refining the authority of the God of Order, Qian Xunfeng left the secret room. He remembered his daughter was about to awaken her martial soul, and an idea suddenly occurred.
Qian Renxuan and Qian Renxue, a fallen angel and a holy angel respectively, normally wouldn't be able to use martial soul fusion skills.
But now that Qian Xunfeng had mastered the way of balance, he wanted to see if he could develop a martial soul fusion skill.
"Xunfeng, what just happened?"
Ah Yin and others looked at Qian Xunfeng's sudden appearance, curious.
"Just passed the divine test. By the way, I prepared some things for you this time."
He melted a blank godhead into A Yin's body.
Then he reshaped Ah Rou's body. Fusing souls daily was troublesome, though soul fusion was more elegant.
He also took away Bingdi's third-level divine title.
Since being severely tested by Qian Xunfeng, Bingdi's personality had changed drastically—she was now somewhat tsundere.
"Ah, bad Xunfeng, I want godhead too."
"Here you go."
Seeing Bingdi hanging on his thigh, Qian Xunfeng couldn't help but laugh or cry. What did he do to Bingdi that night?
"Hehe, I knew Brother Xunfeng was the best."
She whispered in Qian Xunfeng's ear: "Bing'er can do it."
After saying this, she left shyly, blushing.
Qian Xunfeng looked at her retreating figure, feeling both amused and bewildered. Seems he's already hooked.
Bingdi left shyly, secretly feeling sorry for Sister Xue'er. She could only comfort herself—she was too slow to generate heat through friction, and she wanted more.
Qian Xunfeng sent Ah Yin and others back to their rooms, paying another public grain. Bingdi missed out because one of them had run away.
Then he headed to the worship hall.
"Hello, uncles."
Qian Xunfeng took out three second-level godheads and handed them to Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Mighty Lion Douluo.
The remaining godheads were third-level godheads.
After explaining the use of godheads, the old otakus in the worship hall were moved to tears. Becoming a god—something they had never dared dream of—had now become a reality.
Unexpectedly, it all happened today.
"These godheads will only activate after I become a god. Uncles, you need to break through to level 99 as soon as possible."
"Of course, we will retreat now."
Motivated, the old otakus returned to their secret rooms to begin their retreats, determined not to come out until they reached Ultimate Douluo levels.
Golden Crocodile Douluo had already reached level 99 and was preparing to go to Heaven Dou City to see his granddaughter. After all, he hadn't seen her for a year or two.
