Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 306 The God of Fire and the God of Water

Vulcan had no idea what Yuwentuo was thinking at that moment, after all, he didn't know that Yuwentuo was a time traveler and knew about Tang San.

"Haha, aren't you wondering how I noticed you?" Vulcan laughed.

Yuwen Tuo replied truthfully, "Yes, please enlighten me, Lord Vulcan."

He really wanted to know why he was known by the God of Fire, but not by Tang San.

"Actually, your story was told to me by another god, one of the five great god-kings of our divine realm, the God of Destruction. To be honest, your situation is very peculiar. When you were young, your entire fortune was sealed, so you, a child of destiny, became an unlucky person with everything going wrong. Later, you obtained the power of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, completely breaking the seal on your fortune. At that moment, the God of Destruction sensed it. To prevent you from being schemed against by those with ulterior motives, the God of Destruction placed another barrier on you, preventing your fortune from spreading outwards, and came to find me, introducing you to me," the God of Fire explained.

"So that's how it is. It was the God of Destruction who helped me back then." Yuwen Tuo suddenly understood.

He remembered that once, when he unintentionally used a spacetime sword technique, he felt a sensation and blurted out a thank you. At that time, he was very confused about who he was thanking. Now he finally understood that it was the God of Destruction.

And that so-called prevention of being schemed against by someone with ulterior motives must be referring to Tang San.

It seems that the God of Destruction has already begun to take precautions against Tang San, and the Seven Elements is his first step.

The Seven Elemental Gods are neutral righteous gods in the divine realm, and they control the Elemental God Descent Divine Punishment Array, one of the three great divine arrays of the divine realm.

Destruction has already mastered another divine array, the Original Sin Array, and the Seven Deadly Sins are all his subordinates. The only one he is still somewhat wary of is the Elemental Array.

However, if even one of the elemental gods chooses to help him destroy himself, then this divine array cannot appear.

Therefore, he showed favor to Yuwen Tuo and hoped that Yuwen Tuo would inherit the God of Fire. As long as Yuwen Tuo chose to help him, it would not matter if the other elemental gods helped Tang San in the future. Without the elemental array, the threat would not be too great.

Yuwen Tuo finally understood. No wonder Tang San hadn't bothered him all along; it turned out that Destruction had been helping him keep it a secret. In any case, he accepted this favor.

However, he has already begun to inherit the divine position, and it is likely that he will not be able to hide it from Tang San, who is the enforcer of the divine realm. Fortunately, as the inheritor of the God of Fire, he now has the Seven Elemental Gods and Destruction behind him to help him deal with things, so Tang San will not dare to go too far.

"By the way, what's the deal with Qiu'er and Sister Luo Chen?" Yuwen Tuo asked, looking at the two girls beside him.

The God of Fire first looked at Qiu'er, "You're a soul beast in human form, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Qiu'er knew that no matter how special she was, she couldn't hide it from a first-level god like the God of Fire, so she didn't deny anything.

“You have already passed level sixty, which is equivalent to entering the mature stage. From this level onwards, the body and soul power flow of a transformed soul beast will become no different from that of a real human. Therefore, even a titled Douluo cannot tell. In fact, with your talent, you were already capable of starting the true divine trial. It is just a pity that the God Realm does not welcome beasts to become gods, even transformed soul beasts. At least that’s the case for now,” the God of Fire said.

"But how come I heard that Xiao Wu, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils, shared a godhood with Tang San, the Sea God?" Ling Luochen had always heard the legend of the Shrek Seven Devils mentioned by the academy, and that's how it was written in the history books.

"That's just a nice way of putting it. She's really nothing more than the scabbard of the Asura sword, a tool for the Sea God to better control the Asura God's position," the God of Fire said disdainfully.

"So you, little girl, can't become a god either. However, you're very lucky; you're perfectly compatible with Yuwen Tuo. In my God of Fire trials, although I didn't pass the top-tier trial to become a Grand Elder, there's another top-tier trial: the companionship of the divine examiner. For example, the top-tier trial of the Sea God's wife, accompanying the Sea God to complete the Nine Trials of the Sea God." "Your aptitude is also unprecedentedly strong. I can grant you the top-tier Eight Trials. Once completed, when Yuwen Tuo inherits the divine position, you will become a subordinate god of the new God of Fire, similar to a guardian beast, like Tang San's Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. This is currently the only way for beasts to become gods in the God Realm. Moreover, you can choose not to enter the God Realm and continue to stay on the Douluo Continent to protect the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, you bear the destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest, but you cannot freely use divine power on the continent. Are you willing?"

In fact, the meaning of the fire god is very simple: even if beasts become gods, they must still be under the control of human deities.

For example, Da Ming and Er Ming are actually considered gods, possessing the level of divine officials in the divine realm. However, they are merely the little snake and monkey that Tang San keeps at home, pets of the gods, and have no status in the divine realm.

The Flame Lord was in a similar situation. Because he was miserable in the God Realm, the God of Fire allowed him to descend to the mortal realm. Rather than being a dog that was not valued by the gods in the God Realm, he decided to become a king in the lower plane.

The Flame Lord was unlucky; his first opponent upon descending was the Ice Emperor. Due to the limitations of the plane, he was unable to use his divine power and was defeated. In the end, he learned his lesson and came to this Divine Fire Purgatory to cultivate in order to increase his strength before leaving.

Since it already possesses the status of a divine beast, it doesn't need to worry about the great calamity every 100,000 years like other soul beasts.

“I am willing, please grant me the test!” Qiu’er said decisively.

She and Yuwen Tuo cannot be separated now; with Yuwen Tuo around, the destiny power of the soul beast race will not be lost.

Furthermore, once she reaches godhood, her power of destiny will reach its limit. At that time, this god-level power of destiny will definitely be able to help soul beasts.

Vulcan nodded, "Okay!"

He then reached out and tapped Qiu'er's forehead, quickly forming a flame mark, though slightly smaller than Yuwen Tuo's.

"Next is you," the Water God said to Ling Luochen. "Your situation is also a bit special. Have you heard the legend of the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess?"

Ling Luochen said, "I've heard of them. Ning Rongrong and Oscar are the current Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food, aren't they? They are a divine couple."

“Exactly. Back then, the Nine-Colored Goddess chose Ning Rongrong not because of her own will, but because the God of Food chose Oscar, which gave Ning Rongrong a chance. In other words, Ning Rongrong only benefited from Oscar’s success. And you are in the same situation now. My positions as the Water God and the Fire God are also husband and wife positions,” said the Water God.

"You mean, because Lord Vulcan chose Xiao Tuo, you're going to give me a chance for Xiao Tuo's sake?" Ling Luochen asked in surprise.

"exactly!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen's beautiful face instantly turned as red as an apple, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes incessantly. "Lord Water God, you've misunderstood. I'm not Xiao Tuo's lover, just a... a sister."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it sounded like a shy murmur from a young girl.

This usually aloof older sister is probably the most embarrassed she's ever been in her life.
