The Return of the Divine Throne to the Bell Emperor
Chapter 79 The Return of the Divine Throne to the Bell Emperor
The golden light grew even brighter, actually turning the huge pillar golden, and even the Soul-Capturing Bell on it turned golden.
Ye Shiyu's gaze on Ye Jingqiu gradually became fervent. "Qiuqiu, you are the chosen one of God."
"You are the one chosen by the King of Returning Void!"
Ye Jingqiu looked at Ye Shiyu in surprise and said, "Sect Master, do you mean I can become a god?"
Ye Shiyu laughed, "Of course you can, Qiuqiu. The Bell Emperor of Guixu has chosen you. You will be the successor to the divine position from now on. Release your martial soul and inject your soul power into the divine pillar."
Ye Jingqiu nodded and released her martial soul without hesitation, along with her four soul rings.
Yellow, purple, purple, black.
Even Ye Shiyu, a peerless Douluo, widened his eyes in disbelief. This soul ring ratio was simply heaven-defying.
The moment Ye Jingqiu released her soul power, the pillar acted like a hook, drawing her soul power in bit by bit.
However, Ye Jingqiu could sense that it meant no harm, so she suppressed her subconscious urge to resist and let the pillar take away her power.
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and the next moment she appeared in a world that was only silver. Everything around her was boundless and there was nothing but six sides of silver.
Ye Jingqiu stood there, stunned, not knowing what any of these things were.
Just then, a pillar just like the one she had seen earlier appeared directly in front of her, so close that she could clearly see the patterns on it.
Ye Jingqiu ran quickly towards that direction, and just then she discovered that she could no longer use her soul power.
Three hours later, she found that the pillar still looked very close, but it was still not in front of her. Ye Jingqiu quickly realized that although it looked simple, it was probably not so simple to carry out.
If it were any other Soul Master, they might have already started to panic, but Ye Jingqiu remained calm and composed.
When she was in the Offering Hall, Qian Daoliu's training for her was much more rigorous than this, so this distance was nothing to her.
She adjusted her breathing. Even without soul power, she could still hold on for a long time, and soon ten hours had passed.
Finally, Ye Jingqiu stood in front of the divine pillar.
"Very good." A clear yet authoritative female voice rang out.
Ye Jingqiu narrowed her eyes. The voice came from the divine pillar, but she couldn't see anyone at the moment.
"You are the Bell Emperor of Guixu?"
"Yes and no." The voice said with some surprise, "Little girl, you are very smart. I am the Emperor of Guixu Bell, but after becoming a god, I can no longer interfere in the affairs of Douluo Continent. The voice you are hearing now comes from my phantom."
Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly, but she actually had a question she wanted to ask: "Your Excellency Guixu Bell Emperor, I want to know why you chose me."
"Your talent is exceptional. Even before I became a god, my innate full soul power was only level nine. For someone with the Soul-Capturing Bell, innate full soul power is level eight. You and I are special."
"No, you should be said to be even more special than me, but being chosen as the successor to the divine position does not mean you will succeed. Moreover, if you fail, you will suffer the most severe punishment, including your life."
"Do you dare to become the next Guixu Bell Emperor?"
Ye Jingqiu quickly understood what Guixu Linghuang meant, but no matter what, retreating was not a choice she would make.
For her, there was no option but to keep moving forward; stopping halfway up the mountain was not an option.
Ye Jingqiu agreed almost without thinking, "I'm willing."
This time, it was Guixu Bell Queen who was surprised. She asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm very scared, but becoming a god is the goal of every Title Douluo, and I'm no exception. Although I'm not a Title Douluo yet, I'm still trying to make myself stronger."
"Good," praised Guixu Bell Emperor. "To inherit the divine position of Guixu Bell Emperor, you need to successfully pass nine trials. And you must be careful, if you fail to complete even one trial, death awaits you. Are you... truly ready?"
Even though Guixu Linghuang said that, Ye Jingqiu still didn't hesitate at all. "I've made up my mind. I want to become a god, I want to become stronger, and I want to become a top expert on the Douluo Continent."
"Good luck, my successor."
After Guixu Linghuang finished speaking, Ye Jingqiu disappeared from this silver world. When she came to her senses, she realized that she was still in the same place, and Ye Shiyu was standing next to her.
Seeing that she had come to her senses, Ye Shiyu asked, "Qiuqiu, how are you?"
The latest novel is first published here!
There was no need to hide it from him, after all, Ye Shi was the guardian of Guixu Bell Emperor. Ye Jingqiu slowly said, "Guixu Bell Emperor made me undergo nine trials. She said that as long as I pass them all, I can receive the divine inheritance."
Ye Shiyu laughed loudly until tears streamed down his face. "Qiuqiu is really great. I, Ye Shiyu, never imagined that the successor of the Guixu Bell Emperor, which I have protected for so long, would be my own granddaughter."
"Grandpa will always support you."
Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly. "Thank you, Sect Master."
Ye Shiyu quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and then said, "Place your hand on the divine pillar, and the divine pillar will give you your first test."
Without any hesitation, Ye Jingqiu placed her hand on it, and in an instant, a powerful force surged into her body.
She was almost at her breaking point; she felt like a balloon and these forces were like the air pumping it in.
She could only force herself not to explode, and just as she was about to reach a critical point, an ancient and ethereal female voice came to her mind.
"The first test is the theft of cause and effect. Steal the memories of the turning points in the fates of three powerful individuals, implant false cause and effect through the Soul-Capturing Bell, and make them make choices against their true nature. The targets include the guardian of the Slaughter City, the Azure Bull Python of the Star Dou Forest, and the High Priest of Seagod Island. The time limit is three years. The Soul-Capturing Affinity will increase by 15%, the Soul Ring Age will be increased by 1,000 years, and the divine skill 'Destiny Writing' will be unlocked."
The moment Ye Jingqiu opened her eyes, a golden light flashed deep within them.
She froze on the spot. She didn't know who the guardian of the Slaughter City was, nor did she know who that person was. The Azure Bull Python must be a soul beast from the Star Dou Great Forest.
She could guess that the last high priest of Seagod Island was the peerless Douluo of Seagod Island that Yue Guan and the others had mentioned.
If she is that strong, then the person and the soul beast in front of her must also be strong. What can she do against such a powerful opponent?
The succession of this divine position is truly fraught with difficulties.
