Chapter 30
: Sacrificing all living beings to refine into a god... Failure?
Although you're angry that the Sea God used a cheat code to revive Tang San, you also understand that you're no match for both the Sea God and Tang San right now.
[Especially since even the God of Law Enforcement, the God of Asura, regards Tang San as his successor, there's even less to say.]
[You begin to accelerate your progress. As the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, you suppress other plant-type soul beasts and transform them into Blue Silver Emperor aptitude as well...]
The Blue Silver Grass clan has begun to grow wildly across the Douluo Continent...
[This anomaly was discovered, but the discoverer's insufficient strength turned it all into nourishment for you, while the powerful Title Douluos, Super Douluos, and Limit Douluos were all busy with the war.]
With your deliberate indulgence, the Dark Blue Silver Emperor Grass seeds have parasitized some weak animal spirit beasts and human spirit masters.
[As the great battle drew to a close, although he had lost his companions like Oscar and Dai Mubai, Tang San still managed to close the gap between the two sides and gradually gain the upper hand by using hidden weapons such as the King of Hell's Decree to assassinate a large number of Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall side.]
And you know that opportunity knocks but once.
[You made your move during the final battle between the Spirit Hall and Tang San...]
Dark Blue Silver Grass began to grow wildly on ordinary plant-type soul beasts, low-to-mid-level animal-type soul beasts, ordinary people, and human soul masters, absorbing their life force, flesh, and even soul.
The battlefield was no exception. Large numbers of soldiers and Soul Masters below the Soul King level were utterly helpless against the Blue Silver Grass growing from their bodies. Its roots were deeply embedded in their flesh and blood, and when soldiers tried to forcibly pull it out, they only pulled out large chunks of flesh, hastening their own death.
And you begin to enjoy the real feast...
All living beings are horrified by your madness and evil, whether gods, humans, or spirit beasts.
The wind tousled your long, black hair; your face, fair and exquisitely beautiful like a work of art, was slender, your clothes and black hair swaying in the wind as you looked down.
[You remain unmoved; you simply want to become a god!]
This time, you almost wiped out ordinary humans and low-to-mid-level Soul Masters, and nearly all the weak plant and animal-type Soul Beasts were exterminated.
Xiao Wu stared in shock at your black hair, fair skin, and utterly calm demeanor, unable to reconcile you with the well-behaved and handsome boy she once knew.
Your level is increasing rapidly, level 98, level 99...
You're stuck at level 99. Dark clouds are gathering in the sky, but you just can't break through that bottleneck.
[Soul beasts cannot become gods; it seems that even transforming into human form cannot escape this curse.]
You gaze calmly at the sky, fearlessly watching the lightning flashing amidst the dark clouds above.
[You're no longer just absorbing the life force of those living beings; you've begun absorbing the life force of the Blue Silver Grass. Ah Yin, who was closest to you, was the first to die...]
Vast swathes of blue silver grass began to wither, and the silvery-blue ocean that once covered the entire continent began to recede.
[This immense energy surged into your body, and you made a final desperate attempt, but the gods of the divine realm gave you no chance. A massive bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, engulfing your entire body...]
[With your tenacious will to live, your body is constantly being charred and then regenerating...]
[You failed in your breakthrough; you were struck dead by lightning by the gods.]
Although you are dead, your story is not over.
At the moment of your death, at the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, a colossal black dragon with golden eyes raised its head, gazing in your direction and sighing softly, "This madman, even after going to such lengths, still couldn't become a god?"
Your existence has been taboo on the continent, and your clan, the Blue Silver Grass clan, is regarded as the epitome of evil. The continent has launched a "weeding campaign" that sweeps across the entire continent, and humans and spirit beasts alike have tacitly united at this moment.
The gods of the divine realm became even more certain of the evil nature of the soul beast race, taking it as a warning, and the subsequent tribulations were even more powerful.
[Rating: 158. You started as a Blue Silver King. After the previous Blue Silver Emperor died, you were fortunate enough to grow to a cultivation level of 100,000 years. With the help and protection of the noble rabbit, you, who had just transformed into a human cub, left the Star Dou Great Forest and entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Relying on immortal herbs, you evolved into a Blue Silver Emperor. You subdued the previous Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, and the Blue Silver Kings in the Blue Silver Forest, and obtained the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, which was of great benefit to you...]
[You entered Seagod Island with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but your luck ended there. The Seagod took the cover, granting you the eighth level of the Red Rank Trial, making you the successor to the Seagod Island priest. You cannot become a god, nor can you leave Seagod Island. Tang San received the ninth level of the Seagod Trial. You were jealous of them and plotted to teach Oscar, who attacked you, a lesson, but he easily let it go. You became completely corrupted, refining most of the inhabitants of Seagod Island and ultimately destroying the island.]
[You know that some things, once started, can never be stopped, but you don't regret it. You used the Blue Silver Emperor's special physique and your own dark attributes to grow rapidly once again...]
[During the great war, you launched your plan to become a god, refining hundreds of millions of lives. You didn't want their sacrifices to be in vain, so you strived to become a god, but alas...]
[Sacrificing all living beings to refine into a god... failed? But you have left an indelible mark on this world, proving the power of Blue Silver Grass...]
Looking at the outcome, Fang Yuan recalled his initial destiny in this simulation: "Jade shattered, pearl sunk... that suits me well."
"If I hadn't been born a soul beast, with my persistence and madness during this simulation, I might have truly become a god. What a pity..."
In this simulation, he was struck down and corrupted, his martial soul mutated into the Dark Blue Silver Emperor. The Blue Silver Emperor's special physique was revived, suppressing commands and absorbing the life force of its own kind. Its tenacious life force parasitized other living beings. Combined with the Dark Blue Silver Emperor's extreme devouring power, this was the only way to achieve such an outrageous effect.
Such success may not be replicated in the next simulation.
There was some regret, but Fang Yuan still focused on the present and looked at the final reward.
[Rewards: 31 Destiny Points, Dark Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Soul Power Level 30, Vast Ocean Universe Cover.]
Looking at the generous rewards and comparing them to the previous ones, Fang Yuan fell silent, "..."
Does a higher score mean a better reward?
However, because the previous simulation scores were getting worse and worse, I didn't really feel anything.
Looking at the final reward, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, Fang Yuan accepted it.
The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is only the size of a palm, and its shape can be easily held in the hand.
Its entire body is a crystal clear azure blue, with a hazy luster, and its appearance is a very regular three-dimensional triangular shape, similar to a three-dimensional pyramid or tetrahedron.
As Fang Yuan touched it, its azure surface rippled with water-like patterns. These patterns were not carved; they looked alive, flowing, with circles of blue light constantly flashing.
"I wonder if my simulated self will calm down after we get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover back," Fang Yuan said jokingly.
