: War, this is just how human nature is!

[You destroyed the Haotian Sect, and you also eliminated the sect leader and Tang Chen.]

This event shocked the entire continent; everyone was inquiring about your origins, but you felt that the Rakshasa god was playing a trick on you.

[I still haven't reached the required number of kills to complete the divine trial. Whether directly or indirectly, I must kill a large number of people, absorbing death energy and resentment to temper my divine soul.]

Now you finally understand why it took Bibi Dong so long to complete the divine test.

[She must have completed this test after she declared herself Empress of the Spirit Hall, launched a war that caused numerous deaths, and so on.]

The mocking laughter of the Rakshasa god still echoes in your ears.

You will attempt to complete the divine test by killing small, numerous animals such as ants and bees.

Unfortunately, these beings were too weak, their souls too feeble, and the death aura, resentment, and soul energy they generated were far too little. Even killing tens of thousands couldn't equal the death aura and resentment produced by a single normal adult.

[The Spirit Hall cleaned up your mess. Qian Daoliu looked you up and down, never expecting you to be so ruthless.]

He initially thought you would only kill the Haotian Sect members who had chased after you, but he never expected you to slaughter the entire Haotian Sect, not even sparing the children.

His pity for you has vanished, replaced by fear and defensiveness.

[Yet you were still performing, sitting dejectedly on the edge of the cliff, holding the seashell necklace Poseidon had given you.]

[You begin to consider your next step: to launch a war to ensure your successful completion of the divine test.]

In fact, the Star Luo Empire had long wanted to launch a war to annex the Heaven Dou Empire, but the Spirit Hall, relying on its superior strength, prevented the outbreak of war and barely maintained peace between the two sides.

If you want to start a war, the first thing you need to deal with is the Spirit Hall.

[You don't have any romantic feelings for the Spirit Hall anymore. When the Clear Sky Sect first started hunting you and Poseidon, the Spirit Hall stood by and watched. Their subsequent help was just icing on the cake.]

[Moreover, in the original story, Bibi Dong, who obtained the Rakshasa God Test, planned to become emperor and launch a war. Even Qian Renxue participated in it when she was young, killing Xue Qinghe who took her in, taking his identity, and infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire.]

[This mother and daughter did so much, and Qian Daoliu, who was the Grand Elder at the time, didn't stop them; on the contrary, he secretly supported them.]

In fact, many things are clearer to outsiders.

[You met privately with the current Pope of the Spirit Hall. Seeing your reddened eyes, he was about to comfort you when you suddenly asked, "Does my divine exam require the Spirit Hall's help?"]

These words stunned the Pope, but he was still quite willing to contribute to the birth of the new god, so he nodded in agreement, "Since it concerns the divine examination, please don't hesitate to ask. If there's anything we can do to help, the Spirit Hall will certainly do its utmost."

"You must have sensed it too, right? My divine power is dark and distorted."

The Pope hesitated before nodding. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul possessed the attribute of light, granting it a far greater perception of darkness than ordinary people; he had naturally noticed this long ago. However, it was still a god, and even if it didn't align with the Angel God's ideals, the Spirit Hall wouldn't directly confront this unknown deity!

[Didn't you see? Wasn't the Clear Sky Sect a case in point? Nine Title Douluos attacked them, resulting in five deaths and four injuries.]

[You continue, "My divine trial is called the Rakshasa God Trial. The Rakshasa God is not a benevolent deity; her divine trial requires me to kill countless living beings."]

The Pope of the Spirit Hall paled, vaguely guessing your purpose.

"I will trigger a war; I hope the Spirit Hall will not try to stop me this time."

[Initiating a war would indeed violate the Spirit Hall's principles, but if it involves the divine examination of a deity...]

Can the Spirit Hall withstand the wrath of an unknown deity?

Once something becomes associated with deities, some things can no longer be handled through normal, clandestine methods.

The Pope considered it for a whole day and night, and finally gave you his answer...

The Spirit Hall will not intervene again, but it will also not help you.

You seem satisfied with this result.

It wouldn't be difficult to incite the Star Luo Empire to wage war against the Heaven Dou Empire; to be precise, there has always been constant friction between the two countries.

The Heaven Dou Empire has splintered into numerous kingdoms and duchies, its national strength visibly weakened. The Star Luo Empire has long wanted to take action, but has been suppressed by the Spirit Hall.

[A new conflict has broken out on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Barak Kingdom.]

In the past, it wouldn't be long before someone from the Spirit Hall would step in to mediate and appease both armies, maintaining peace.

[But this time was different. The Spirit Hall never showed up. The King of the Barak Kingdom went from being indifferent at first to becoming somewhat panicked, and finally went to personally invite the Spirit Hall Master in the capital, only to find that the hall was empty.]

The entire branch hall was deserted, not a soul in sight. King Barak collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that the Spirit Hall did not intervene this time, the Star Dou Empire assumed that the Spirit Hall had finally realized the situation and would no longer be a troublemaker.

[Begin troop assembly and advance!]

[It's not surprising that those who, after the Spirit Hall withdrew, became ambitious and started waging war with only a little guidance.]

That's just human nature!

The flames of war quickly engulfed the entire continent. While the actual national strength of the Heavenly Dou Empire was far weaker than that of the Star Luo Empire, many sects, including the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, began to support the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Only in the weakened Heaven Dou Empire could these sects thrive.

A stalemate ensued, the war continued, casualties mounted, and you began rapidly absorbing death energy and resentment to temper your soul.

[Even along the way, you didn't forget to cultivate your second martial soul, hunt for soul rings for it, and undergo the God of Food's trial.]

[Perhaps because he's the God of Food's favorite son, the God of Food's test was extremely simple, yet the rewards were exceptionally generous, ranging from increasing soul power level to bestowing a divine soul ring.]

[Your soul power level is rapidly increasing; finally, your Rakshasa God is complete.]

[The Spirit Hall has sent someone to ask you if this is enough.]

You nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Hall quickly dispatched personnel to end the escalating war.

Unfortunately, some things can't be ended just because you want them to. The Star Luo Empire has already swallowed nearly half of the Heaven Dou Empire's land and is about to unify the continent. How could they possibly be willing to accept that?

The nobles and kings of the Heavenly Dou Empire who had their territory and wealth seized were also unwilling to accept this.
