Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 478 God of Emotions
"Hehe, very good, little girl. From now on, you will be my successor." Rong Nianbing smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Xiao Xiao's words. "Listen, my divine position is called the God of Emotions. I am one of the main gods of the divine realm, on par with your boyfriend's position as the God of Fire. I control the seven emotions and six desires. Moreover, because my emotional power is similar to the good and evil spiritual transformations of the two great god kings, I am stronger than ordinary first-level gods. After inheriting my divine position, perhaps you will be stronger than your boyfriend in the future. If he bullies you, make him kneel on a washboard."

Despite having been a god for many years, Rong Nianbing's personality hasn't changed much, still retaining a somewhat unreliable air.

“Senior, my Tuotuo is very good to me and won’t bully me,” Xiao Xiao said immediately. “If I want to inherit your power, do I also have to go through the Nine Trials of the God of Emotions, just like Tuotuo and Sister Luo Chen?”

Rong Nianbing shook his head. “No need. My position as the God of Emotions is quite special. The only test is the Seven Emotions. Your current second martial soul has already integrated the soul rings representing the Seven Emotions. When you fully comprehend the Seven Emotions and make all the soul rings shine, you will be able to obtain my divine artifact. Then, you can break through to the 100th level and ascend to the God Realm on your own. The position of the God of Emotions will naturally be aligned with you.”

As she spoke, Rong Nianbing stretched out her finger and tapped Xiao Xiao's forehead.

A divine mark representing the god of emotions immediately appeared on Xiao Xiao's forehead.

Rong Nianbing said, "This is my divine seal; it will guide you forward."

Xiao Xiao touched her forehead. "Senior, it seems you also passed on a unique skill to me."

Rong Nianbing smiled. "Haha, as my successor, isn't it only right that you learn something from me? My two most prized skills in this life are, firstly, the superb knife skills I honed for learning cooking, the Dragon's Dance of the Knife, but this skill is not suitable for you; secondly, the magic I practiced as a mage. What just entered your mind is my most powerful magic, Annihilation: Awakening of the Seven Luminaries!"

"Thank you for your guidance and mentorship, senior." Xiao Xiao bowed respectfully to Rong Nianbing.

"Alright, go!" Rong Nianbing waved her hand gently, and Xiao Xiao's soul spun wildly. When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the sea.

Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing and said, "Nian Bing, this girl is with that Fire God's successor. Don't you know that the Sea God harbors considerable hostility towards them? You even passed on your divine position to her. Aren't you afraid of incurring the Sea God's wrath?"

“Anger? So what?” Rong Nianbing said, “Although he is now one of the five great god kings of the god realm, no matter how high his status or how strong his power is, it does not mean that what he hates is evil.”

"You know I've never believed in the idea that might equal justice, or that justice is written by the victors. In my eyes, right is right, and evil is evil. I observe with my own eyes. Those kids that Tang San is hostile to are all people who hate evil and don't use their strength to do evil. Why would I just follow the crowd because Tang San is hostile to them?"

Rong Nianbing is not the kind of person with a low cultivation level or a petty mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cultivated to his current level, only one step away from the God-King level.

In the original story, the reason he helped Tang San was simply because he also disagreed with the overly radical behavior of the God of Destruction, and he also had some thoughts of helping his successor.

But now, what he doesn't approve of is Tang San, who, with his God King strength, bullies a group of children.

"Moreover, recently, Tang San seems to be..." Rong Nianbing hesitated, but he had noticed that Tang San had been acting strangely lately, which made him uneasy.

Above the icy sea, Yuwen Tuo smiled at Xiao Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao, congratulations on obtaining the qualification to inherit the divine position of the God of Emotions."

Xiao Xiao was startled. "Tuo Tuo, how did you know?" She had just returned and hadn't even had a chance to tell them the good news yet, and Yuwen Tuo had already said it. This was too much like a fortune teller. "Because I had already foreseen this scene," Yuwen Tuo said.

Rong Nianbing had a passionate heart and wanted to travel to different worlds like the old Asura God back then; he knew this.

Therefore, he has been working hard to find a successor in recent years.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao is no match for him now.

As Xiao Xiao developed her ability to infuse emotion into her music more and more, Yuwen Tuo felt that she might have a chance.

Very well, let the Nine Phoenixes Come to Ceremony Flute first take on the position of the God of Emotions, thereby driving up the realm of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, which will make his subsequent plans more convenient.

"The God of Emotions, has already received the divine inheritance?" Princess Lijing looked at Xiao Xiao with envy, while at the same time she was full of complaints about her mother, Princess Hai, who had taken away her daughter's opportunity.

She was the one who first proposed it; if it weren't for her mother's interference, she would be the one who gets the chance to become a god.

Although the God of Emotions is far inferior to the God of the Great God Realm mentioned by Yuwen Tuo, it is still a first-level god. Becoming a guardian beast of a first-level god is not shameful at all.

Although the sea princess was very pleased with herself, knowing that she hadn't made the wrong bet, she was too embarrassed to show off in front of her two daughters.

"You really have the nerve, Sea Princess!" the Golden Sword Phoenix laughed.

"Sister Sword Phoenix, don't laugh at me. Who can let go of the opportunity to become a god? At worst, I'll come and pick up Ya'er and Jing'er when the opportunity arises again," the Sea Princess said shamelessly.

Now, both she and the Golden Sword Phoenix are Xiao Xiao's soul spirits. She has nothing to hide from the Golden Sword Phoenix, and frankly says that she just can't bear to give up the opportunity to become a god.

In fact, the Golden Sword Phoenix could understand. Wasn't that why she agreed to become Xiao Xiao's soul spirit in the first place?
Yuwen Tuo cupped his hands in greeting to the two princesses. "Princess Lijing, Princess Liya, thank you very much for your help. We have achieved our purpose here, so we will take our leave now. From now on, you two will be the new patriarchs of the Sea Princess Clan. I wish you both the ability to lead your people to peace and happiness."

"Thank you!" The two princesses nodded, deeply grateful to Yuwen Tuo, the human who had saved their race.

Yuwen Tuo led Xiao Xiao and the others away from the Ice Sea, but did not immediately return to the Heavenly Soul Empire, nor did he go to Dongyang City. Instead, he arrived at the Mingdou Mountains, the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire!
The group arrived at the cave of the Soul King-level evil Soul Master, the Death Messenger, who had tricked Xuanzi years ago, and began their cultivation there for a period of time.

The purpose of doing this is twofold. First, the soul power of these individuals has been improving too rapidly recently, and they need to use their existing cultivation techniques to consolidate it. After all, becoming a god also depends heavily on one's foundation, and one cannot slack off even for a day.

Secondly, it is because this is where we can get the fastest intelligence about the war on the continent. The place where the first battle in the original work started was this Mingdou Mountain Range!
