Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 210: Accumulation, Growth, and Pseudo-Godhood (-word chapter)
After dealing with the number of sea snakes and making sure that these soul beasts would not run to the surrounding seas and cause trouble to the fishermen after losing their restraints, Chen Ming and Dugu Bo returned to Tiandou City with a great harvest.

After placing most of the snake soul beast bodies in the cellar in Dugu Bo's mansion, Chen Ming took a large number of soul bones and the remains of rare soul beasts and ran to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to go into seclusion.

This time, Chen Ming wanted to take a good look at those things related to gods in his mind.

This retreat lasted for nearly a year. Even after his birthday, Chen Ming was still immersed in the study of divinity and immortal spirits.

It must be said that even the broken throne still contained some abilities that surpassed the laws of the Douluo plane, and even with Chen Ming's talent, it was very difficult to interpret. But relying on the sample of divine power, after spending half a year, Chen Ming was finally able to explore the throne.

In his Yin-Yang eyes of ice and fire, he set out to explore the divine power while carefully transforming the broken godhood of the god of sin in his mind.

The most important power of this godhead is sin, but it also contains some power of the king of snakes and poison.

During the years of falling into Douluo Continent, perhaps because there was a Rakshasa god who became a god in the Douluo plane, the throne of the goddess Medusa did not accumulate much power of sin. Instead, she relied on the snake group to accumulate a lot of snake god power over the years.

So much so that as the god of sin, the fragments of snake-related abilities tend to gather in the remaining throne of Medusa.

Because they were fragments in themselves, Chen Ming began to classify these different powers, and then used the immortal spirit from the Shura God that was suppressed in the sea of spirit to try to change the part he wanted.

In the end, the broken throne was divided into three parts and shaped into three prototypes.

The most complete one is the prototype of the snake god. This was created by Chen Ming after he picked out the fragments of the throne left by the god Medusa and spent some of the accumulated faith of the god Medusa.

Because it is a part of one-third of the fragments of the third-level god's throne, this thing Chen Ming made is more like a pseudo-demigodity than a godhood or demigodity.

After absorbing enough faith, the pseudo word in front can be removed and become a semi-god. As for whether it can become a true god, it all depends on personal luck, but no matter what, it can be regarded as a shortcut to becoming a god.

The remaining two pieces of the god's throne were broken and recast by Chen Ming, who completely removed the mark of the god Medusa and replaced it with Chen Ming's personal mark. As a result, the quality of the thing he molded was slightly worse than that of the pseudo-demigod.

The power of the God of Sin was merged with the power of the Rakshasa God in Chen Ming's Spiritual Sea, and then stabilized with the help of the fragments of the Rakshasa Scythe, forming a pseudo-demigodhood of sin. It was like competing with the Rakshasa God for food.

Although the poison aspect is the weakest, it was specially created by Chen Ming. He put most of the gains from decomposing the Shura God's thoughts in his mind into it, and created a prototype of a pseudo-demigodhood in the poison aspect.

However, this godhead is not just about poison. Strictly speaking, it should be a demigodhead of the "God of Poison, Plague and Death". The characteristic of death is relatively rare compared to poison and plague, accounting for only about 20% of the total.

In the process of understanding the godhood, Chen Ming also discovered why the position of the gods who became gods after birth was so complicated. Because sometimes, mixed things are stronger than pure ones, and it is more convenient to collect faith.

Poison, plague and death, these three concepts can be connected together in the minds of the people in Douluo Continent, and can also be the evolution process of life.

Poison caused plague, plague caused death, death caused plague and disease, plague and disease caused poison, poison caused death.
No matter how you understand it, it makes sense. The three aspects of power added together form a triangle, making this power more stable and powerful.

Whether it is the growth of poison, or the growth of the concepts of plague and death, it will increase the strength of the remaining two to a certain extent. In the future, Chen Ming can also use this concept to develop the special abilities of gods.

And ever since the forging of this conceptual pseudo-demigodhood began, the godhood began to gain a faint power of faith.

Yes, faith.

Poison, plague, and death are not uncommon in Douluo Continent. The occurrence of such things can become the nourishment for Chen Ming to enhance his godhood.

Regardless of whether humans worship the three or hate the three, as long as people have drastic emotional fluctuations towards these three concepts and the three behaviors appear on the Douluo Continent, as long as no one else competes with Chen Ming for them.

Then, a tiny amount of faith power will be gathered into the pseudo-demigod created by Chen Ming because of these behaviors.

Although these actions have nothing to do with Chen Ming who is in seclusion in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, it doesn’t matter. The throne of God is such a magical thing.

However, while gaining faith, Chen Ming could also feel that these powers of faith carried a strong curse emotion and were filled with human pain and malice.

If Chen Ming's mind is absorbed directly without being refined, it will gradually be polluted by people over time, and he will become the one in people's hearts who "spreads poison and plague and brings death to the world."

Even if Chen Ming is a pure saint, if he is believed in by tens of millions of people for many years, then Chen Ming will inevitably be distorted into an evil god, and his future throne may become that of a plague god.

So Chen Ming thought about it and gave all the power of faith collected from poison, plague and death to the pseudo-demigodity of the evil god.

What's even more fucked up is that, although these beliefs do not come from the evil god, these beliefs mixed with malice and pain just suit the appetite of the evil god, so much so that the strength of the pseudo-demigod has increased.

Chen Ming felt that if he combined these two pseudo-demigods, as long as he continued to spread the deadly plague and death on the continent, he could probably become a god at a rocket-like speed. But Chen Ming really couldn't accept this.

As for the artifact Soul-Capture Card, Chen Ming erased all the marks of the goddess Medusa and stamped his own mark on it, making it completely Chen's.

But although it is a genuine and complete artifact, the Soul-Snatching Card is different from the Trident of Poseidon. It is a functional artifact that can only be used by waving it, and cannot be thrown directly to hit people.

With Chen Ming's current strength, if he wanted to use it, he could only spend a long time to charge it in advance, and then use it temporarily once. Although the power is indeed very strong, it is not convenient to use.

To be honest, Chen Ming wanted to refine the Soul-Snatching Card again and make it into a bell-shaped weapon, renamed it Soul-Snatching Bell or Soul-Falling Bell. After all, in the novels, the more bizarre the weapons are, the stronger they are. Weapons such as bells, tripods, towers, and seals are often stronger than traditional swords.

However, with Chen Ming's current ability, he still couldn't transform a completed artifact. So he could only continue to use the Soul-Snatching Card, but Chen Ming already had a Soul-Falling Bell plan in his mind.

In the future, even if you can't use the Soul-Snatching Card to modify the Soul-Falling Bell, you still have to rub one out by hand. Whether it is practical or not is another matter, the main thing is to maintain your status.

Those metal fragments that had previously absorbed some of the power of the Shura God were re-refined by Chen Ming with the help of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. He added the remaining thoughts of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and some of the characteristics of the Angel God into them, and created a smaller version of the Angel Sword.

Because of the special material and the fact that it was re-refined by the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Chen Ming was able to hold it in his right arm to nurture it.

Because the refining materials contain the remnants of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, there is a slight connection between the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right metacarpal bone and the small sword. The gold in the right metacarpal bone will flow into the small sword to strengthen it, and the small sword will also return a part of the refined gold and evil spirit to the metacarpal bone, slowly improving the age and quality of the soul bone. A subtle symbiotic relationship has formed between the two. Who knows, one day, the small sword and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right metacarpal bone will be able to sublimate into a special artifact together.

When necessary, Chen Ming can directly use the Dark Gold Claws to shoot the small sword out from his fingertips, and it can fly out and hurt people like the sword balls in the old fairy tales.

At this point, Chen Ming had almost processed all the things he had gained. After more than half a year of seclusion, Chen Ming, who had gained a lot, felt that it was time for him to leave the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and travel the continent.

As for the age of his current spirit ring
Not only did he not hide his red soul ring, he even upgraded the first ring's Poison Cloud Technique to the thousand-year level. Now his configuration has turned purple, purple, black and red, and the third ring's Death Poison Realm is being strengthened.

With his current strength, he doesn't need to explain anything more. If someone wants to spy on him
Chen Ming would use his slaps to make those guys eat their favorite big cunts.

Now his hometown in Biluo City is not only protected by Dugu Bo's reputation and the Heaven Dou Empire, but also by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. There are also people from the Spirit Hall secretly guarding it. According to Qian Daoliu's letter, there is even a Titled Douluo who is protecting his family.

Now his weaknesses are no longer weaknesses, and he naturally has fewer worries when traveling across the continent.

This time, walking on the continent was not only to regulate his emotions, but also to bring himself positive beliefs. Otherwise, if he only let the pseudo-demigod eat these things full of pain and sin, Chen Ming was really afraid that he would become Nurgle in Warhammer in the future.
No, although Nurgle is the evil god of chaos, he also has certain positive tendencies. He has the attributes of life and tranquility. He is called a kind father because he treats all lives equally.

If Chen Ming continues to develop like this, I'm afraid he will be less positive than Nurgle in the future.

Of course, while studying additional abilities, Chen Ming did not forget his original plans.

Chen Ming has already mastered the transformation and grafting techniques of the fairy grass. Although he cannot allow the fairy grass to gain additional power, he can use those precious herbs whose origins are not as good as the fairy grass as nourishment to strengthen the fairy grass's inherent power.

In nearly a year, Chen Ming successfully consumed dozens of immortal herbs of average quality but which had accumulated a lot of energy in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and successfully made the Longing Dew, which originally took ten thousand years to produce one drop of dew, produce more than a dozen drops of dew.

Although the quality is slightly inferior to the truly accumulated dew, the advantage in quantity can completely make this problem no longer a problem.

Chen Ming drank three drops, and then the bulk version of Wangchuanqiushui Lulu water was of little use to his mental strength. After all, this magic grass also has drug resistance.

Chen Ming absorbed four kinds of magical herbs in total, including Star Spirit Pearl, Qirong, Tongtian Ju, Bajiao Xuanbing Grass, Fiery Apricot and Jiaoshu. Moreover, his mental power has reached the level of Super Douluo. A drop of dew can increase his mental power by a few thousandths, and every time he absorbs a drop, the effect of the next drop will continue to decrease due to the increase in drug resistance and mental power.

Dugu Bo drank two or three drops of the remaining dozen drops to make up for the deficiency of his mental strength, and Dugu Yan drank two or three drops to enhance his mental strength.

Dugu Yan ate more than a dozen of the hundred snake eggs, and raised her soul power from level eight to full soul power. Her martial soul also evolved to the level of the Jade Phosphorus Snake King. Her physical fitness and soul power were greatly enhanced, and her soul power from level thirty-five was raised to level forty.

Before absorbing the fourth soul ring, Dugu Yan absorbed the leg bones that exploded from the two alien species, greatly enhancing his physical fitness. He then absorbed a 40,000-year-old Medusa skull to further enhance his mental strength.

Chen Ming's fourth ring is only 12,000 years old. Although the Zhuqing Ice Toad that he specially found for the immortal grass body refining has a higher actual carrying capacity, the fourth ring of 12,000 years is still equivalent to the sixth ring of an ordinary soul emperor.

And with the help of various resources, Dugu Yan's fourth ring was directly raised to more than 19,000 years, nearly 20,000 years. It was higher than Chen Ming's fourth ring and was close to the seventh ring of the weak Soul Saint.

This fourth ring was found by Chen Ming, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan on the Spirit Snake Island. It came from a top-level poisonous soul beast, the Nine-Section Jade. According to Chen Ming's observation, it still has a certain amount of Medusa bloodline in its body. The quality is higher than the mutated Zhuqing Ice Toad that Chen Ming's fourth ring belonged to.

After absorbing the fourth ring, he jumped directly from level 40 to level 46, approaching level 47. With the help of three ten thousand year soul bones and a nearly twenty thousand year soul ring, he almost became a soul king.

The huge improvement made it difficult for Dugu Yan to appear in front of everyone directly, so she stayed in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire with Chen Ming for a long time.

As they grew older and their feelings for each other grew stronger, it was natural for the two of them to do things that everyone could understand.

Later, Dugu Bo, who was watching the two from their mansion in Tiandou City, was not angry after learning about this. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He complained about why the two had come to this point and encouraged them to have more children to pass on their bloodline as soon as possible.

More than a month before departure, Chen Mingceng once again dived into the depths of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to try to find the remains of the two dragon kings, but received unexpected yet reasonable news.

The remains of the two dragon kings are indeed in the deepest part of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, but there is a slight problem with the space.

The two guaranteed to be first-level gods or even gods do not simply die after their fall, their own characteristics will transform the surrounding space. The two closely connected dragon kings fall together to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two, and even if they die, the power they release forms an independent cycle.

Strictly speaking, the two dragon kings did smash into the Sunset Forest and formed the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, but under the instinct of the power in their bodies or the final control of the dragon soul, the remains of the two dragon kings were wrapped in a special small space.

The two forces of ice and fire were so complementary and restraining that a small cycle was even formed in the space of their remains, which to some extent prevented the dissipation of their breath and power, protecting them. Although their bodies were destroyed, their dragon souls still had a glimmer of hope, and they were not assimilated by the rules of the Douluo World or sensed and killed by the gods in the God Realm.

This is also the reason why the dragon soul beasts on the continent, especially the Silver Dragon King and Emperor Tian, did not notice the death of the two dragon kings in the Sunset Forest.

Because the way they died was indeed quite special, the Silver Dragon King and Emperor Tian were unable to sense them and recover their dragon bones and dragon souls.

But time is the most terrifying force. The Ice and Fire Dragon King is dead after all. Although the dragon soul is not completely annihilated, it is definitely not awake. The remaining power can form a wonderful space to protect the remains, but this space without the control of the owner is not perfect.

As time went by, the circulation inside the space that enveloped their remains gradually collapsed, so that the space was gradually assimilated by the Douluo Continent. The power inside it seeped out bit by bit, transforming the environment on the ground into the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

This can also explain why even the three native gods, the Angel God, the Rakshasa God, and the Sea God, as well as all the major titles over the past tens of thousands of years, did not notice the existence of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire in the Sunset Forest.

Although the Ice and Fire Dragon King has been dead for who knows how long, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire actually only appeared "recently".

But in this era, the space they were in, although already shaky, had not yet reached the point of complete collapse. If they wanted to send the remains of the two dragon kings to Douluo Continent and expose the dragon souls and dragon bones, they would have to wait for at least a few thousand years until the cycle completely collapsed.

With Chen Ming's current means and control over the power of space, he is completely incapable of entering the space that envelops the bodies of the two Dragon Kings. He can only stare blankly from the outside.

In desperation, Chen Ming could only dig a large bucket of mud stained with the blood and breath of the Dragon King at the bottom of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, and then collected some spring water from the deepest part of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s close to the Dragon King’s corpse, but Chen Ming always feels that the spring water in the deep is not only stronger than the upper layer, but also seems to be more stable in structure?
In short, Chen Ming has grown a lot in the past year or so, and he has his own ideas about some things that are valuable but not suitable for him.

For example, although Dugu Yan cannot become a high-level combat force for the time being, it seems that Dugu Bo can be strengthened a little bit?
