Chapter 265 Cultivating Gods.
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
A year later, when everyone arrived at the Elemental Academy, they were all stunned to see the enormous golden ancient tree in the center of the academy. Even Dean Huo Tianchen was amazed, marveling at the powerful vitality of the golden ancient tree.
Wang Xiaofei then gathered everyone under the golden ancient tree to begin preparations for their cultivation.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Xiaofei spoke, "I know you all seem a little curious as to why I called you all here."
"Over the past thirty years, all of you here have made tremendous contributions to the Douluo Federation. You've been diligent and hardworking, and your talents are quite remarkable, showing great potential."
"Given your loyalty and hard work, I've decided to give you a chance—a chance to become gods."
"Behind me is the Golden Ancient Tree, the epitome of life force, the core of life for all living beings on Douluo Star. Under the Golden Ancient Tree, everyone can feel the true meaning of life, and their soul power can rapidly increase."
"I'm now giving everyone a chance. Everyone can cultivate under the Golden Ancient Tree. My requirement is that you can break through to level ninety-nine within a hundred years, or even better, you can compress the time even further."
"If any of you break through to the level 99 limit, I will give you a chance to become a god. However, this kind of godhood is different from the godhood that Tang San inherited from the God Realm. Everyone needs to create their own godhood, everyone needs to find a way to forge their own divine weapon, and everyone needs to have a full set of high-grade soul bones. As long as you achieve these three points, you can become a god."
Everyone around seemed to be looking at each other in bewilderment. Becoming a god is like a dream for any soul master, but everyone also understands that becoming a god is simply unattainable. After all, in the past ten thousand years of Douluo Continent, only Wang Xiaofei, Tang San, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue have been able to become gods. Among them, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue even had their godhood shattered by Wang Xiaofei.
Chrysanthemum Douluo below hurriedly spoke up: "Your Majesty, may I ask how we can obtain these fully equipped, high-level soul bones? You must know that such soul bones are extremely rare."
Wang Xiaofei shook his head: "Both the Douluo Federation and I have many soul bones. The key issue is not the soul bones themselves, but that you must fuse all the soul bones into a whole to form divine armor. Just like Qian Renxue's previous Angelic Divine Armor, this kind of soul bone divine armor is extremely difficult to fuse. It requires peeling away skin and breaking bones to make all the soul bones have the same attribute. For example, I used the God of Fire's artifact to transform all the soul bones in my body into fire attribute before I could inherit the godhood."
Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed a little frightened: "Won't this involve great pain?"
Wang Xiaofei looked at everyone: "Of course, everyone needs to endure the pain of peeling away skin and breaking bones, and at the same time experience the seven emotions and six desires. Only by passing these two trials can you generate divine armor and transform your soul into a divine soul."
"Of course, you now have two choices: either I will use the Fire Phoenix to transform all your soul bones into fire attributes, or I will use the Golden Ancient Tree to transform all your soul bones and attributes into life attributes."
"Let me emphasize again, the forging of your godhood will require my primordial divine power. From this day forward, you can only be gods of Douluo Star. Leaving Douluo Star will significantly reduce your strength. Similarly, you will be subject to my control, and if you disobey my will in the future, the consequences will be dire."
The people present seemed to fall silent. Becoming a god was indeed something to be desired, but the pain of becoming a god and the need for obedience afterward were also quite troublesome.
However, no one objected, no one regretted it, and no one refused.
Everyone knew that becoming a god meant infinite life and freedom; compared to that, the suffering was insignificant. After all, a Soul Master who could cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo possessed exceptional intellect and talent; at the very least, everyone needed a persistent desire to become stronger to even have a chance of reaching that level.
The first to speak was Chrysanthemum Douluo: "Your Majesty, my Martial Soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and I wish to choose to become a god of the Life attribute."
Wang Xiaofei nodded: "Chrysanthemum Douluo's choice is excellent. Your Martial Soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, so you can only choose the Life attribute. After all, the Fire attribute is completely incompatible with the Plant attribute."
"Then how should I forge my divine artifact?"
Wang Xiaofei glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo, then at the surrounding crowd: "I can help you forge basic divine artifacts, but you will need to nurture them yourselves."
"For example, Chrysanthemum Douluo, I can use precious metals to forge a Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum for you. You will need to use your soul power, plus the life force of the Golden Ancient Tree, and finally my source power to completely forge the artifact. This is also the most time-consuming step of all."
Wang Xiaofei seemed to have thought of something, and took out the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and the Angel Holy Sword from his body, handing them to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue respectively: "Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, the original divine positions on both of you have been shattered by me. Your artifacts no longer have any source power, which means they no longer have any attributes."
"Logically speaking, you both possess divine equipment and artifacts. What you two lack most is a divine position. Now, you two should cultivate to level ninety-nine as soon as possible, and I will help you forge your divine positions."
Wang Xiaofei thought carefully for a while, then took out the Trident of the Sea God and handed it directly to Sea Dragon Douluo: "This Trident of the Sea God no longer possesses the aura of the Sea God, nor will it have the divine power of the Sea God. It is now just an ordinary weapon. I will give it to you for now. Your martial soul is a sea dragon, so I cannot help you for the time being. I may have to wait until Bing'er inherits the divine position of the Ice God before I can help you."
"Dean Liu Yan, the same goes for you. You should cultivate to level ninety-nine as soon as possible, and then Shui Bing'er will come to help you."
Both the Sea Dragon Douluo's Sea Dragon martial soul and Dean Liu Yan's Flying Phoenix martial soul are water-attribute. If their attributes are rashly changed to fire or life attributes, they will probably find it difficult to become gods in the end, making them the two most troublesome among everyone.
Besides these two, the most troublesome one is probably Ghost Douluo, since Ghost Douluo's attribute is the rarest and hardest to improve. After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaofei decided to ultimately make Ghost Douluo's attribute fire, hoping there might still be a chance.
