Divine Inheritance, Angel Douluo
Chapter 89 Divine Inheritance, Angel Douluo
The desolate mountain stretched as far as the eye could see, and the three titled Douluo looked at the young man and the ravine behind him with different expressions.
"Your Excellencies, how do I compare to yourselves?"
Chi Ping looked intently at Bibi Dong and the other two. His condition recovered rapidly in the blink of an eye. His left arm was rebuilt, and the destroyed soul guide armor piece could only be reforged later.
Yue Guan clicked his tongue and said with a sour face, "Not bad."
The fact that the defenses set up by the Title Douluo were broken by a Soul Emperor made him somewhat unhappy.
The ghost nodded silently.
Bibi Dong remained silent, staring intently at Chi Ping's brow.
Following her gaze, Chi Ping discovered that the mycelium he had used for concealment had been destroyed in the attack.
—Has this... been exposed again?
"The Godhood Assessment".
Bibi Dong's words corroborated Ikehira's judgment.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei weren't quite sure what the divine qualification assessment was, but judging from Bibi Dong's expression, it must be something extremely important. So the two remained silent, not daring to disturb Bibi Dong and Chi Ping's conversation.
Chi Ping shrugged, deciding to drop the pretense. "It's the God of Life's test, but I haven't even passed the first test yet."
Bibi Dong gently stroked her scepter. "I'm starting to regret it. Perhaps I should have killed you here, no matter the cost."
Her words were casual, yet brimming with murderous intent; the air seemed to freeze in that instant. Cold, chilling, evil, and terrifying, the overwhelming killing intent surged forth like a ferocious beast.
Will distorts reality.
Moisture in the air condensed into tiny ice beads under the icy, murderous aura and fell down.
Chi Ping calmly looked into Bibi Dong's eyes, enduring and feeling the materialized killing intent. The technique of influencing the world simply with his will is worth learning from.
"You can't kill me," Chi Ping said confidently.
Bibi Dong said, "I really can't kill you."
The Killing God Domain couldn't intimidate Chi Ping's will, nor did it have the ability to freeze space in an instant, so Bibi Dong couldn't stop Chi Ping from teleporting away.
"You have proven your strength and potential. The grudges between you and the Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy are now wiped clean. I will have a contract prepared, and you will sign it in three days."
Chi Ping smiled.
"I have no objection."
Although he used up his trump card that he had prepared for a long time, he still achieved a result that satisfied Ikehira.
"Shall I escort the three divinities back to the Papal Palace?"
"Okay." Bibi Dong nodded.
Yue Guan didn't want to agree, after all, he had just lost face, but his superior had already agreed, so he couldn't object. As for Gui Mei, it was for the same reason, plus Yue Guan's agreement.
So Chi Ping approached the three men and asked them to put their hands on him.
For the Silver Mushroom to teleport someone, physical contact is required; this is one of its limitations.
Three seconds later, the four returned to the Papal Palace council chamber.
"Kid, with your teleportation speed, I doubt anyone could kill you if you were prepared," Yue Guan said in surprise. "I'm a little curious about your martial soul. What kind of martial soul can evolve such a heaven-defying soul skill?"
The formation of a soul skill depends not only on the abilities of the soul beast, but also on the characteristics of the spirit beast. High-quality spirit beasts are more likely to obtain high-quality soul skills.
"It's just a regular glow mushroom."
"Glowing mushrooms can do that? You're kidding me."
Ghost: Calling me?
"If you don't want to believe me, senior, there's nothing I can do. I awakened my spirit at the Spirit Hall; you'll always be able to find my information."
Yue Guan clicked his tongue. "If I find out who let you go, you monster, I'll skin them alive."
Chi Ping advised, "Senior, please don't take your anger out on me. My innate soul power is only level 5, which not many people would care about. Besides, I remember when I awakened my martial soul, that deacon did invite me to join the Spirit Hall, but I refused because I had to take care of my family."
"Kid, you're being a little too kind!"
"Maybe, but I don't think it's a bad thing."
"Alright!" Bibi Dong said indifferently, "Yue Guan, you've talked too much today."
The Pope's authority was still effective, and Yue Guan quickly shut up and stepped aside.
"Come back in three days," Bibi Dong said.
Chi Ping bowed and took his leave.
Shortly after Chi Ping left, a temple guardian knight entered the hall through a side door.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Elder has left the Elder Hall."
Bibi Dong's expression tightened.
……
Chi Ping teleported back to the hotel, packed his things, and headed to the Reeves Soul Tool Shop. This was where he had been visiting and learning about storage soul tool technology, and it was also the largest soul tool shop in Wuhun City.
Enter the shop and head straight to the backyard workshop.
I quietly pushed open a tightly closed door. The room contained many wooden shelves, filled with various tools, materials, and semi-finished soul tools. Everything was neatly arranged, placed in fixed positions according to a certain rule, each position even marked with a slip of paper. In the corner was a workbench, where a small, white-haired old man was working.
"Master Dion, I'm late."
The old man buried his head in his worktable, pretending not to hear.
Chi Ping quietly walked behind the chief soul guide master to observe and learn.
"Carving knife #32, material #17."
Chi Ping took the tools the master needed from the wooden shelf and moved the tools the master didn't need aside.
After the master finished the main body of the soul guide core in his hand, he stopped and handed the work position to Chi Ping, allowing him to complete the remaining inscriptions.
The rustling sound mixed with the sound of a heartbeat, becoming the only music that could be heard in the room.
—A very serious young man.
Outside the window, a handsome man in his thirties or forties glanced into the house. He was tall but not muscular, wearing a simple gray robe, and his long black hair was neatly combed and draped behind his head.
The man's aura was extremely restrained, and his presence was suppressed to the minimum. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would hardly believe that there was a person there.
From noon to evening, the man waited quietly, observing.
As the moon rose high in the sky, Chi Ping left Reeves' Soul Guide Shop.
Heading east, I walked through streets, through alleys, out of the city gates, and into the wilderness.
"Your Excellency, please show yourself," Chi Ping said solemnly. Below, silver mushrooms had already sprouted, ready to be activated at any moment.
The man appeared out of nowhere and stood before the pool, smiling. "Don't be nervous, heir of the God of Life."
Chi Ping became even more serious; he couldn't figure out how the man had appeared.
He cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "May I ask your name, senior?"
"I am Qian Daoliu, and my title is Angel," Qian Daoliu said calmly.
A colossal golden, six-winged angel phantom appeared behind him. Bathed in darkness, this martial spirit phantom appeared incomparably sacred, radiant, and warm, inspiring awe and reverence.
Chi Ping sensed the aura of an angel, and a feeling of doubt and surprise arose in his heart.
—The aura of divine power, and a familiar feeling.
"Were you also a candidate for the divine rank examination, senior?"
Qian Daoliu shook his head and said gently, "I don't have that talent. I'm just a servant under my divine throne."
He looked at Chi Ping and said with emotion, "I never imagined there was a fifth deity's legacy in this world. Young man, where did your legacy come from?"
"It came from the sky," Chi Ping said. "The Goddess of Life chose me and gave me this inheritance test."
Qian Daoliu felt a chill run down his spine.
—It wasn't found, but rather given by the gods!
This signifies divine attention!
His attitude became more gentle, and he proactively dismissed some of his original ulterior motives.
"Young man, would you be willing to join my Spirit Hall?" Qian Daoliu asked.
Chi Ping first confirmed that the Silver Mushroom could be activated at any time, then cupped his hands and said, "This junior has no intention of joining any faction."
"I see, that's a real shame," Qian Daoliu said regretfully.
He thought for a moment, then reached his right hand through his waist and took out a black iron token. He used his soul power to drag the token to the front of the pool.
The token features six different designs: a sword, a hammer, a dragon, a demon, a chrysanthemum, and a six-winged angel.
"What do you mean by this, senior?" Chi Ping asked in confusion, failing to catch the token.
Qian Daoliu explained, "Take it, consider it a good deed. This item is the Pope's Decree of the Spirit Hall, and holding it is equivalent to being an elder of the Spirit Hall. You are the inheritor of the gods, the future gods, and the Spirit Hall should show you respect."
Chi Ping was taken aback. "Senior doesn't know about what happened before?"
Qian Daoliu asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Chi Ping recounted how he, representing the academy, resolved the feud with Bibi Dong.
"I had some past grievances with the Spirit Hall, but those have been resolved. They will not affect our future dealings. Please withdraw this papal decree, senior."
Qian Daoliu shook his head. "One thing at a time. This token is for your status as a successor to the divine deity. Besides, there's no reason for me to take back what I've given away."
Qian Daoliu's attitude was firm, so Chi Ping had no choice but to accept the token.
Qian Daoliu nodded. "Now that things have been discussed, I will take my leave."
After saying this, his figure disappeared into the night.
