Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 635 Life is a High-Stakes Gamble

"A soul beast?"

Han Tao looked at the Phoenix God.

The flames floating on its body carried the scorching blackness of the air, seemingly dancing in response to will. Han Tao turned his head once again and looked at the shore of the Lake of Life, at the soul beasts destroyed by the Order of Destruction.

After recovering from his severe injuries, Di Tian transformed the three-eyed golden lion into a spirit.

Many soul beasts, including the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, and the Demon Eye Demon Tree, died one after another.

"What a pity," Han Tao sighed.

"Perhaps the soul beasts will obey your commands, but you can't predict what will happen."

"The vast majority of high-level soul beasts on the Douluo Continent have been killed by the God of Destruction. While it may seem like innocent people have been harmed, isn't it also a case of the God of Destruction foreseeing the future? By killing off their potential to become gods, he has also hindered the growth of the Blue Silver Realm."

The Phoenix God's fingers trembled slightly, and the flames dimmed a bit under his will.

Immediately, it raised its head. "They're dead?"

Are they all dead?

"Yes!" Han Tao replied calmly.

The Phoenix God was even more bewildered, so much so that it didn't know how to regain its life.

For a long, long time.
"Han Tao, I am willing to give up my rank from the God Realm, and I am also willing to give up the 130th level of the God Realm's order laws."

“I want to join your Blue Silver Realm, but I can no longer offer you any leverage. If you are willing, please spare my life.”

Han Tao stared at it, pondered for a long time, and finally replied, "Okay!"

"Cough cough."

Di Tian slowly walked out.

Facing the phoenix deity, as if facing an old friend, his tone carried a trace of sorrow, "Phoenix, this is the paulownia tree, your former resting place."

According to ancient legend, the place where the parasol tree transforms is where the phoenix lands.

Han Tao smiled and slightly raised his finger.

In the Blue Silver Realm, the Blue Silver Grass transformed its racial trait into "Tree," and, inspired by the phoenix tree, evolved a new phoenix tree, which stands tall on the southeastern edge.

"Since you are willing to give up your position in the God Realm and join the Blue Silver Realm, I will naturally relieve you of your worries."

"Thank you!"

The Phoenix God's face was sincere.

The level 130 on its body gradually dissipated. Unlike Han Tao, it had not completed the iteration and accumulation of foundation, faith, and talent. After losing its divine power level, it needed a long time to cultivate and could not recover in a short period of time.

"No!"

The Asura God roared.

Its voice came from the realm of gods, piercing the barriers of the world and landing in the phoenix's ears.

"Phoenix God, I sent you down to the mortal realm to kill Han Tao, not to make you submit to him!"

"If you join Han Tao's Blue Silver Realm, you will undoubtedly be cutting yourself off from the gods. All the gods in our God Realm, the five God Kings, and the God Realm Committee will not let you go!"

The Asura God was cursing.

His insults and threats only strengthened the Phoenix God's resolve.

"I believe in my choice, and I believe in my judgment!"

"Life itself is a gamble; the loser has nothing, the winner wins everything. For years I have failed, but today I see the possibility of my own victory!"

It suddenly laughed.

How it longed to win just once! If it could win this time, it could witness the fall of the gods, just like the mournful cry of the Dragon God weeping blood.
"Hahahaha"

"God of Asura, you can't threaten me. I will wait until that day!"

"Damn it!" A murderous intent surged in the heart of the Asura God.

The crimson swords converged in the realm of gods, their sharpness piercing through the barriers of the world, traversing countless realms to reach the phoenix.

"--Ah!"

Han Tao smiled gently.

The God-King's order was shattered to pieces, barely causing a ripple. "It seems you made the right choice."

The phoenix came from the God Realm, turned around and entered the Douluo Plane, and then entered the Blue Silver Realm from the Douluo Plane, where it perched among the paulownia trees on the southeastern border.

Di Tian watched helplessly as the phoenix's divine power dissipated and its soul power weakened to the level of a peerless Douluo.

A new round of "divine advancement ceremony" was initiated among the paulownia trees, and its expression showed a slight change.
"Perhaps it's time for me to make a decision."

"The Douluo Continent is constrained by the gods, who forbid us soul beasts from becoming gods, but that brand new world has already given birth to new possibilities."

"The Blue Silver Realm, a plane not controlled by the gods, could it become my new opportunity?"

Di Tian's dragon wings slowly folded away, just like the thoughts that filled his mind at that moment.

After a long while, it finally looked up and asked, "Han Tao, may I also join your Blue Silver Realm?"

"Yeah, sure!"

Han Tao waved his hand.

Di Tian and Phoenix represent the dragon and phoenix respectively, the ultimate bloodlines in the world. Their joining the Blue Silver Realm is a perfection for the order of the entire world.

"Damn it"

The Asura God continued to roar.

At this moment, it seemed utterly powerless in the face of Han Tao. It could not stop Di Tian and Phoenix from joining, and it could only watch as Han Tao's world laws were perfected little by little, and Han Tao's strength increased at an unpredictable speed.

"Destruction, didn't you kill those living beings back then? Why is it that under your destructive order, Di Tian is still able to survive?"

"If you had killed it, we wouldn't be in this predicament!!"

The Asura God turned to look to the side, his anger still lingering.

Are you questioning me?

The God of Destruction raised an eyebrow and retorted, "How dare you question me, God of Asura? I've killed countless hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, what about you?"

"You did nothing. You were so scared by Han Tao's strength that you ran away with your tail between your legs. Did you think you were safe hiding in the God Realm?"

As he spoke, Destruction slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage.

His finger was raised high, pointing to Han Tao's Lord of Life, the Ancient Tree of Destiny, the Lungs of Nature, the Eyes of Time, and the Immortal Herb.
"God of Asura, just look at the martial spirits in Han Tao's hands. Which of the spirits that those martial spirits carry is no match for our God King? Do you think the power you wield can still be so high and mighty?"

The Asura God paced anxiously back and forth, his brows furrowed and his fists clenched.

"so what should I do now?"

"What should we do?" The God of Destruction suddenly laughed.

He clapped his hands, and the Rakshasa God stepped forward, looking humble. "I have an idea."

"Since Han Tao is perfecting the order of the Blue Silver Realm, our God Realm can refer to his ideas. We can also have more main gods advance to God Kings. The more God Kings the God Realm has, the less Han Tao can threaten us."

The Asura God King looked at him: "Rakshasa, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"The power of Rakshasa is countered by the power of Asura because you have not mastered the highest order. If you were to advance to the level of God-King, wouldn't you be going to stand against me?"

"Rakshasa, I will not allow you to advance!"

The Goddess of Kindness and the God of Evil did not refuse; instead, they pushed Rong Nianbing forward.

“Angel Gods can break through to God King, and Rakshasa also has the potential to break through to God King. Every breakthrough of God King represents a step towards the perfection of the divine order.”

“At this moment, Rong Nianbing also possesses the potential to break through to the God King level. I believe we can give him room to break through.”

Goodness, evil, and destruction—the three god-kings stood on the same side.

The Asura God remained silent; once they reached an agreement, he could not refuse the proposal.

"Poseidon."

"Oh, Poseidon, I'm so sorry."

The Asura God sighed.

He regretted it; he regretted choosing to sacrifice the sea god.

If the sea god hadn't died, he could have broken through to the level of a god-king, become a supporter with the same stance as himself, and then stand on equal footing with other factions.
