Chapter 184 Sea God Clone
"Okay." Su Tian agreed in a daze.
"Okay, that's it."
Su's father happily dragged Emperor Tiandou down, and Su's mother was also smiling, and began to explain to Su Tian and Xue Ke the things that need to be paid attention to in tomorrow's wedding.
As soon as the time turned, it was the next day.
The whole city was bustling with lights and festoons. Su Tian carried out the wedding step by step according to the preparation process. In his memory, he had been here once before he became a god. This is the Sun Moon Continent. The current Heaven Dou Emperor is also the Sun Moon Emperor.
However, he clearly remembered that his parents were both in Xunxian Valley, Douluo Dalu, how could they appear here.
Afterwards, a memory image emerged in his mind. It was he who, after returning from becoming a god, did not want to participate in the affairs of the Douluo Continent, so he assisted the Sun Moon Emperor to unify the entire Sun Moon Continent, and then took his parents over.
"Is that so?" Su Tian couldn't help asking himself secretly, and didn't even pay much attention to the ongoing wedding.
No, no, Su Tian closed his eyes tightly. Although the memories in his mind are still there, and all this seems very reasonable now, he just feels that there is something wrong there.
At this time, the people around discovered the anomaly and gathered around, Su's father, Su's mother, Emperor Sun and Moon, and Xue Ke all asked worriedly.
"Su Tian, you haven't, have you?"
"Little Tian, it's time to worship, don't miss the auspicious time."
"..."
These voices surrounded Su Tian, constantly stimulating his mind. With a flash of golden light, Su Tian's eyes suddenly opened, and the memories in his mind gushed out like spring water, and the previous memory images in his mind were broken one after another.
Looking at the familiar people in front of him, Su Tian finally understood everything.
"It turned out to be like this, the test of the seven emotions, now the test should be joy."
Facing these people who cared about him, as well as Xue Ke who was about to marry him, Su Tian couldn't help frowning.
For his parents, for Xue Ke, he, a person who has traveled through time, actually blended into it, and also experienced the long-lost happiness.
Although he yearns for freedom, these people are people he must consider after all.
Everything, everything, Su Tian seems to understand a lot, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "The seven emotions test, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, desire, each of which has been experienced in real life, will it be cut off in the end? "
"After experiencing everything, staying in the Douluo Continent for 100 years after becoming a god seems to be for every god who has become a god to deal with mortal affairs."
"With this experience, the God who passed should be able to let go."
Su Tian smiled slightly, "However, these are of little significance to me, who doesn't want to become a god, and I don't need these false experiences to leave seeds in my heart."
With a wave of his right hand, the picture in front of him instantly shattered, but Su Tian's consciousness did not return, but reappeared and entered another illusion, and some memories began to emerge in his mind, but the picture was all shattered as soon as it appeared, and the surrounding world followed immediately. broken.
Six times in a row, his consciousness returned to the body of the God Realm in a flash of intense golden light.
After the test of the seven emotions was over, golden energy quickly gushed out from the platform and entered his body.
After getting used to it a little, Su Tiancai looked at the soul bone suit in front of him. It has now evolved successfully. It can be said to be the Seagod's suit. This set of Seagod's suit has undergone tremendous changes under the transformation of golden energy. Needless to say, its quality is He simply checked and knew that he had definitely reached the god level, which was far from what his previous soul bone suit could compare with. In terms of form, the current god suit is mainly golden, and it is becoming more and more noble. I can feel a holy breath.
"The power of faith?"
Su Tian silently observed the golden power around him, only then did he realize that apart from the power of the Sea God, these golden powers contained extremely strong power of faith.
The Poseidon suit was then put into his body by him, and directly entered the lower dantian. The light was restrained and could be released by him at any time, but it was different from the original soul bone suit. The current Poseidon suit is only equivalent to a divine weapon armor , although he has a certain connection with him, but without the harsh connection with himself like the soul bone, even if he wants to abandon it, it will not be affected too much.
As for the platform under his feet, those golden energies were still continuously entering his body, and his soul power, mental power, and physical strength were all rapidly increasing.
Boom~
The barrier between humans and gods was broken, and the martial soul and soul ring of the body were released suddenly. A golden soul ring rose slowly and turned into ten soul rings. The colors were yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, Crimson, blue gold, gold.
Soul power evolved into divine power, the barrier between divine power and body was broken by the power of faith, and life span increased dramatically.This is basically the same as his previous guess, but what he didn't expect was that the power of faith played the most critical role in it.
Su Tian felt it silently, "The divine power was probably at level 103 just after the breakthrough."
But this is not the limit, the platform under his feet is still continuously gushing golden energy into his body.
104, 105, 106~
It wasn't until the soul power broke through level 110 that the golden energy lasted for another half an hour before stopping.
It was at this time that an old voice sounded, "The Seagod's ninth test has been completed, and he has become a newly promoted Seagod. The Seagod is a perfect match. The age of all soul rings has been increased by 5 years."
Then the golden Seagod Trident brand on the center of his eyebrows floated up as a whole, and the center of the eyebrows that left turned into a golden spot of light and directly entered his body, the soul ring was released, and the first six soul rings that were less than 10 years old had all turned red , even the seventh and eighth red soul rings, the color did not become much darker.Now his overall soul ring colors are black, black, black, black, black, red, deep red, deep red, blue gold, gold.
Only the first five soul rings are still black, and the others are all over 10 years old. Of course, this is not just a simple change of color, but also the strengthening of various soul skills, and his divine power has also improved somewhat.
According to Su Tian's estimation, his current divine power is around level 116, and he doesn't need to hunt and kill soul beasts to obtain the No. 11 soul rings, but he can use the power of faith and divine power to directly condense the soul rings by himself, just like ice rings. Di and Tianmeng are the same.
It's just that the condensing of the soul ring consumes his own divine power. After forming the No. 11 soul ring, part of the soul power will enter the soul ring, the strength will be improved, and the divine power in the body will also decrease.
Without waiting any longer, while there was still time, Su Tian directly used his divine power to gather No. 11 soul rings. With the decline of divine power, No. 11 soul rings appeared, and the color was black as soon as they formed. With the power of faith injected, the color changes rapidly.
In less than half an hour, when the No. 11 soul ring turned golden, Su Tian stopped.
"Divine power level 112, forming a million-year spirit ring consumes about 4 levels of divine power, if there is a little more, then let's upgrade the first five black spirit rings."
Although the increase in the power of the soul skills brought about by upgrading the first few soul rings is not of much use to him, as long as he does not fall below level 110, level 110 is still level 112, and it has no effect on his overall strength. The black soul ring always felt a little uncomfortable.
Until Su Tian raised all the first five soul rings to 10, his divine power was still at level 111.But now the color of his soul ring has changed to red, red, red, red, red, red, deep red, deep red, blue gold, gold, gold.
But this time when he really became a god, Su Tian found that the barrier between man and god was only broken through, and there was no second way at all. It was the same in both mental and physical aspects. This was completely different from his own body, and he could feel his body After breaking through the two realms, he was even a little stronger than the eleven spirit rings he got. Although it was not many, it was indeed stronger, not to mention that he had continued to improve with golden energy for a period of time.
Before he could continue to think about it, a voice rang in his ears, it was the voice of Sea God.
"Congratulations, now you are the Sea God, and I am finally free."
Sea God had already stood in front of Su Tian, and the aura around him dropped significantly.
"What are you?" Su Tian asked suspiciously. Now he can feel the level of the Seagod's divine power. Although he is still stronger than him, it has dropped very seriously. It is completely different from when he first met, and the other person's body There is not much power of faith in the world anymore, although there is still a little bit, but it is not much anymore.
The current Seagod's divine power is almost a little higher than him, definitely not more than level 120.As for other aspects, it is almost the same as his body.
Poseidon smiled faintly, "This is what you have to go through to inherit the position of a god. If you gain something, you will lose something. It doesn't matter. You can return to the Douluo Continent later, and you can stay there for another 100 years. This is also the last time you will be completely free." It's time, don't miss it. But, come with me first."
The Sea God's words were full of relief-like happiness, and before Su Tian asked anything, a blue-gold light flashed, and they returned to the Sea God Hall again.
Afterwards, Sea God briefly introduced the situation in the God Realm to Su Tian.Su Tian's understanding of the God Realm also gradually became clear.
The God Realm governs three thousand worlds, and the Douluo Realm is relatively powerful, but there are a few that are equal to the Douluo Realm.Under normal circumstances, the rules of the God Realm do not allow gods to enter each world privately, unless there are special circumstances.
The gods in the God Realm are divided into four levels, god kings, first-level gods, second-level gods, and third-level gods. Since each god has its own unique laws, it is basically based on the strength of the laws it masters. It is not directly related to the level of the gods. It is possible that the laws you have mastered are extremely powerful, but because your mastery is relatively low, or the time to become a god is short, the divine power is relatively low.
But this is only relative. For example, as long as the inheritor of the god king inherits the god position, the divine power basically starts at level 120, but the sea god inherited by Su Tian, as a first-level god, after inheriting the god position, the divine power is about 110 to 120. Before level [-], the second-level gods and third-level gods are even lower.Moreover, the upper limit of the improvement of the second-level gods and the third-level gods is relatively low, unless they understand other higher-level laws, which is very difficult.
Of course, the status of Poseidon in the God Realm is quite high. The God Realm has the most third-level gods, more than a thousand people, 136 second-level gods, and even fewer first-level gods, only 35. Sea God is one of them. There are only two kings, the God of Good and the God of Evil.
In addition to this, there are three gods that must be special, that is, the three gods of law enforcement in the God Realm, the God of Asura, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life.Because of the position of law enforcement, the strength can completely rival the god kings, so the three law enforcement gods and the two god kings are called the five supreme beings of the gods.
Su Tian originally didn't plan to meet Douluo Dalu, after all, this is just his avatar, and he came to God Realm to investigate news and collect Yin-Yang Chaos Birds, but in his cryptic inquiry, Sea God didn't know this at all. The existence of a kind of soul beast, and the one who knows the world of Douluo very well is the God Shura.
Naturally, he couldn't go directly to God Shura to inquire about this matter, because it is his body that needs to absorb this soul beast later. Once he asks God Shura, the other party will definitely pay attention later, so that his body and mental strength will break through to the god level. Things are likely to be discovered.
So much so that it was useless for him to stay in the God Realm now, so he chose to return to the Douluo Realm, and after Tang San became a god, he took over God Shura's law enforcement position, and he asked God Shura again, so that the other party would not find anything.
……
Douluo Realm, Ice and Fire Yin Yang.
After Su Tian's body learned the memory of the avatar, his expression was also concentrated. It is a little more troublesome to obtain this Yin-Yang Chaos Bird or other Yin-Yang attribute soul beasts than he imagined.
Because even if he wants to go to other worlds after he is cloned, it is not so simple, the rules of the God Realm are too restrictive.
To obtain this kind of soul beast, he has only two ways now, one is to find out the location of the Yin-Yang Chaos Bird in the Douluo Realm, and he will go directly to hunt it down, and if there is really no such soul beast in the Douluo Realm, he will There is only one other way, that is, the avatar explores the Yin-Yang attribute beasts in other worlds in the God Realm, as well as the location of their worlds. His main body raises the power of space to the extent that it can cross the world. The main body used to hunt and kill, Or the avatar finds a way to hunt in the past.
It's just that, in this way, the ninth soul ring of his main body can only be left for a while. Of course, the main body has a long lifespan now, so he is not in such a hurry, but he doesn't want to wait too long, because for him, the main body acquires the first Nine soul rings, and the condensed inner alchemy behind, this is the first starting level of his cultivation.
"It shouldn't take a few years for Tang San to become a god. Once God Shura abdicates, the avatar will immediately go to the God Realm to find him, and you should be able to get news. This is far easier than synthesizing yin and yang attributes through five elements and other attributes. .”
In fact, this will not waste much time, because the main body also needs time to study the method of inner alchemy cohesion, and even if the main body does not have the ninth soul ring, it does not mean that the soul power cannot be improved. Although it is relatively slow, the speed of practicing Tianyuan Gong is also fast. Not much slower.
Then Su Tian's body continued to study the method of inner alchemy condensation.As for the soul bone in his body, he is not in a hurry to peel it off now, and he doesn't want to become a god in his body. Without the improvement of the power of faith, even if he forms a soul bone suit and then peels it out, the level is relatively low, so he has to peel it off. Raise the spirit bone level before.
