Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

The idea that a divine artifact possesses a spirit means that it not only has a physical form and function, but also spirituality and vitality.

Besides birds and beasts, flowers, plants and trees also possess spirits. In certain special places and under certain special conditions, such as mountains and rivers, even a stone can slowly develop its own consciousness, which is what is known as spirituality.

Like weapons, weapons, after being nurtured by their owners over a long period, can gradually develop a spirit. This is a kind of so-called unity between man and weapon, where the owner's spirit influences the weapon.

But this is the Trident of Poseidon.

Gu Yuena could see it clearly.

It was not that Anzhen's aura drew upon the spirituality of the Trident of the Sea God.

Instead, it was Poseidon's Trident that "ran" over on its own after hearing Anzhen's words.

It feels like it's about to take human form.

But it's impossible for a super artifact to take human form.

Even with the Dragon God's knowledge and experience, he had never heard of such a thing. On one hand, the spirit of a weapon is an influence of its master's spirit, an extension of it, so how could it become an independent entity? On the other hand, this is related to some kind of cosmic rule.

Although it is very rare for divine artifacts to take human form, there are precedents.

The super artifact is too powerful.

It's as if there's a rule binding them, preventing them from truly developing their own intelligence.

But the current Trident of Poseidon has changed that.

"You..." Gu Yuena swallowed the words back before she could finish speaking.

The Fire Dragon King was quite experienced and didn't need her to say anything. Although she was also a little confused about the matter.

……

Mimicry.

Add a layer to the Trident of Poseidon as well.

"Does this count as the birth of a weapon spirit?" An Zhen looked at the trident of the sea god floating beside him.

Like an innocent toddler.

Able to understand basic speech.

They can even mobilize their own resources.

But they can't understand more complex things.

Take it to your teacher's wife for her to see.

Although there was also a powerful figure in his family, that might expose his identity. He didn't want that to happen. Even if the other party considered the bigger picture and wouldn't cause too much trouble since he had two god-kings behind him, they would probably become strangers afterward. An Zhen didn't want to lose his wife.

Anzhen arrived at the Sun and Moon Palace and entered the Temple of Life.

I bowed to the statue of the goddess of life.

"Master's wife," An Zhen called out.

A gaze fell upon An Zhen.

"Hmm?" A female voice, tinged with doubt, rang out.

The Goddess of Life saw the Trident of Poseidon circling around Anzhen like a puppy. With her abilities, she could clearly see that Anzhen was not using any method to control the Trident of Poseidon.

"..."

Looking at the seemingly sentient Trident of Poseidon, the Goddess of Life was momentarily speechless. Even with her extensive experience, this was the first time she had ever seen a super artifact that could be so active and spiritual even when separated from the gods.

"What's going on?" asked the Goddess of Life, puzzled.

“I came to ask you, Master’s wife,” An Zhen said.

"Did Xiao An really do something to it?"

"Nothing special. It was just using energy injection, trying to control and refine it with my own power."

"Soul power?"

“The power of the world,” Anzhen said.

"It must be some of the rules that affected it," the Goddess of Life said uncertainly.

Because all of this is unprecedented.

Destruction and life are the closest to the power of creation.

The couple had also studied many aspects of the origins of the world.

However, it was not mentioned that such a reaction would occur with the super artifact.

However, An Zhen's case is unique.

This is not an ordinary world.

"What is the current state of the Trident of Poseidon?" An Zhen asked.

The goddess of life knows. She doesn't understand the process of its formation, but the current outcome is clear.

"You have awakened its spirit, giving it its own unique intelligence. If you continue with the previous steps, perhaps its intelligence can grow stronger step by step," said the Goddess of Life.

"It might even change its own life form in the future. Of course, this is just my speculation. It is feasible for divine artifacts to take human form, but there has never been a precedent for super divine artifacts."

"Will it have any impact on me?" Anzhen asked.

The voice of the Goddess of Life entered Anzhen's mind through the divine messenger's mark, explaining to him, "The fact that the vessel possesses a spirit means that it has its own judgment."

"Once its intelligence develops to a certain level, it will be able to fully control itself. If it recognizes you, it can unleash considerable power without needing to reach the standard of at least a first-level deity to use a super artifact, because at this point it is in control of itself. However, the power will be somewhat lower than that of a standard first-level deity using a super artifact."

"Has it made its own judgment?" Anzhen pondered. "What if it resists the sea god?"

“Then the sea god will be unable to recall it,” the goddess of life said. “Even if the sea god forcibly obtains it and controls it with his own power, given the super artifact’s own abilities, the stronger its intelligence, the less power the sea god can unleash, perhaps even equivalent to an ordinary weapon.”

In the Douluo Continent, even if one simply uses the Trident of the Sea God as an ordinary weapon, wielding this weapon weighing 108,000 jin (approximately 54,000 kg) is enough to make one stand out among all heroes. However, if in a battle between gods, the super artifact that should amplify one's power now prevents one from exerting it, this could be quite fatal.

"Oh?" A hint of joy flashed in An Zhen's eyes, but she changed the subject and said, "But, it was originally the Sea God's ultimate artifact."

“Indeed,” said the Goddess of Life. “It was forged by the first Sea God with his own martial spirit and nourished by the divine power of two generations of Sea Gods. But that is its physical form, which is equivalent to a human body. Its intelligence was born because of you and is nourished by your power.”

"There are two spirits in the Trident of Poseidon. One is its own intelligence, born with the help of your power, and the other is a spirit bestowed upon it by the nourishment of the power of the two Poseidons."

"The former is internal, the latter is external."

"On the other hand, they are equivalent to the lords of the plane and the consciousness of the plane. One is a being with intelligence like a normal living being, and the other is a disorganized mess that is just a set of rules. That's why its own intelligence can grow so smoothly, squeezing out and even devouring the spirit given to it by the sea god."

Anzhen was overjoyed.

The goddess of life's gaze remained fixed on the spiritually imbued trident of Poseidon.

Few deities are willing to allow their divine artifacts to develop their own spirit.

Allowing a weapon to develop its own consciousness when it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% under control poses a significant risk to the user.

Having learned about the current state of the Trident of Poseidon, An Zhen began preparing to refine the affinity with the Poseidon's divine position.

As for how to refine it.

It's all based on instinct.

An Zhen sat cross-legged on the jade-like ground, releasing the virtual world's desire to devour certain powers within her body.

The next second, countless images flooded into the entire brain.

It was a vast, boundless ocean, as if one had entered a god-like perspective. Tens of millions, even billions, of sentient beings entered Anzhen's brain—mermaids, whales, various small and medium-sized fish—one after another, these creatures appeared in Anzhen's mind. There was no feeling of being overwhelmed, no sense of something being forcibly crammed into her soul; rather, it was like watching a movie. Countless ocean creatures, anchored by their own will, wove together a vast net, influencing this world with the beliefs of all living beings, dominating, or rather, forming the will of the sea.

Meanwhile, in some unknown latitudinal void, a huge sphere radiating milky white light suddenly shone brightly. One by one, the powers began to operate, and a wisp of azure light appeared within the same milky white world. Then, more and more appeared, from a drop of water to a small pond, a stream, a great river, a huge lake, and finally, it transformed into a vast and boundless ocean, indistinctly visible, containing tens of thousands of different kinds of marine life.

The world continues to evolve.

Until a certain point is reached, a certain saturation is achieved. Or perhaps there is a shortage of subsequent energy sources.

The ocean has disappeared.

To be precise, it has become integrated into this world.

A milky white aura drifted through the world like clouds and mist, like the whiteness at the beginning of the world's creation, or perhaps the origin that could evolve everything.

Time passed second by second, and I don't know how much time had gone by.

"Hmm~"

An Zhen let out a lazy hum.

It felt like I had a very comfortable sleep.

"The pillow is a bit hard."

Anzhen gently rubbed her head against the pillow.

"Is that so?" A faint voice sounded, carrying the resentment of a young girl.

"Then I am truly sorry, Your Highness the Regent."

"It's nothing." An Zhen squinted, the familiar fragrance lingering around her nose. "I am very magnanimous."

The next second, a pair of small hands cupped Anzhen's face and began to rub it.

"You scoundrel!" Xu Tianzhen accused.

"Hmph~" An Zhen sat up, checked her own condition, and then bowed to the statue of the Goddess of Life.

"Let's go." With that, An Zhen hugged Xu Tianzhen's petite figure tightly.

"Traitor." Xu Tianzhen "struggled," but it was more like he was rubbing against An Zhen's arms. "I came to see you out of kindness, and you fell on me. I didn't move because I was afraid of disturbing you, but you're complaining."

“I don’t mean I’m complaining,” An Zhen denied.

"Even small ones are cute."

It might be due to genetics. But the royal family's nutrition is still very good, and with the absorption of soul bones promoting physical development, the little empress certainly doesn't have a flat chest.

"Traitor, traitor..." Xu Tianzhen hummed softly as An Zhen held her, but her body was very honest as she lay in his arms, her jade arms wrapped around An Zhen's neck, her cherry lips opening and closing against An Zhen's ear, her warm and moist breath hitting it.

“Some people have called me a traitor before,” An Zhen suddenly said.

"Who?!" Xu Tianzhen suddenly became very nervous, and tightened her arms around An Zhen's neck.

An Zhen didn't answer, but instead displayed a dessert and handed it to Xu Tianzhen.

“And then she became like this,” Anzhen said.

"What does this mean?" Xu Tianzhen looked curiously at the dessert in her hand that looked a bit like bread.

An Zhen did not answer, but said, "Your Majesty, take a bite."

Xu Tianzhen opened her mouth and bit.

The cream inside the bread was squeezed out instantly.

Xu Tianzhen: !

The girl pushed the cream puff into her mouth with her small hand, "Delicious."

After finishing the meal in a few bites, Xu Tianzhen still didn't understand An Zhen's meaning.

Anzhen's gaze fell on Ju Zi, who was quietly following behind them. "Ask Ju Zi, she might know."

Girls sometimes know more than boys imagine. This isn't taboo knowledge; whether in ancient times or in the more advanced modern world, people receive relevant education at a certain age.

Xu Tianzhen looked at An Zhen with suspicion.

Mysterious.

Jumping down from Anzhen's arms, Xu Tianzhen came to Ju Zi's side, and the two girls huddled together talking. Xu Tianzhen gestured animatedly as she demonstrated. Ju Zi was initially a little confused, not understanding what it meant, but through Xu Tianzhen's vivid description, she suddenly grasped a point, and an alluring blush instantly spread across her cheeks. Ju Zi glanced shyly at Anzhen, then, under Xu Tianzhen's expectant and curious gaze, leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered what she had heard.

then.

Until they entered the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xu Tianzhen never approached An Zhen within five meters again.

"Go home."

Standing at the entrance of the soul-guided elevator leading to Mingde Hall, An Zhen spoke to Xu Tianzhen, who was some distance away from him.

"I...I...I have state affairs to discuss with Ju Zi tonight." Xu Tianzhen's face showed a hint of panic, then he spoke in a serious tone.

“Oh?” An Zhen said with a smile, “Then as the Regent of the Empire, I should join in.”

The world.

An Zhen suddenly appeared beside Xu Tianzhen and Ju Zi, grabbing the two girls' wrists.

"Does Orange have time tonight?" Anzhen asked Orange.

"Have."

Her long, slender legs were pressed tightly together, and her orange-colored face was flushed.

night.

In addition to what Xu Tianzhen asked earlier.

She won't turn into that tonight, will she?

"Let's skip tonight and go tomorrow instead," Anzhen said. "Give Ju Zi a day off tomorrow."

It could take five or six days.

I have plans tonight.

You can't suddenly cancel your trip just hours before it's supposed to start.

I spend part of my daytime with Qiu'er and Zi Ji.

Think about it.

I've postponed the time allotted for tomorrow to fill the Trident of Poseidon with the power of the world.

Anzhen's gaze fell on the orange.

Two strands of soft brown hair draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of intellectual beauty. Her delicate, supple skin seemed to glow with moisture; at nineteen, she was in the prime of her youth. Her long, straight legs, clad in black stockings and high heels, peeked out from under her knee-length skirt, exuding a unique allure.

It's harvest season.

Xu Tianzhen noticed An Zhen's undisguised and direct stare at the orange. The Little Empress puffed out her cheeks.

'Traitor! You said before that being small was cute too. You big liar!'

"Then tonight..." Orange's cheeks were flushed.

“Come to my place, I’ll prepare a room for you so you can chat with Qiu’er and the others,” An Zhen said. “I know you have friends at the academy, so you can stay here or at my place.”

"Yes."

Anzhen, holding Ju Zi's hand, picked up the little empress who was standing still and unwilling to move.

Anzhen's restaurant added another set of bowls, chopsticks, and chairs.

After the meal, Huo Yutong spent time with Ju Zi and the other girls.

During this break, Anzhen took the opportunity to examine her gains more thoroughly.
