Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 331 The War God Who Nearly Was Killed, Communicating with the Divine Realm

With Xiao Jin by my side, I won't be able to walk around the mainland with my head held high, but I won't be afraid of anyone.
With his immense strength and his own incredible speed, wouldn't the two of them, one human and one beast, be invincible together?
"By the way, Little Jin, what age of soul beast are you now? Ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, or even older?" Shi Yu asked curiously.
Ten thousand years have passed, and normally Xiao Jin would be ten thousand years old, but it's possible that the number of years has increased more than the actual time.
"I am a noble Behemoth, not a Soul Beast, so naturally my strength cannot be measured by the age limit of a Soul Beast."

"By the standards of us Behemoths, I'm still only in my adolescence; I haven't truly entered my adult stage yet."

"Once I reach maturity, my strength will increase dramatically, and then... hehe," Little Gold said with a touch of arrogance.
Shi Yu suddenly realized that indeed, the concept of age limit in describing strength is mainly applicable to soul beasts, and cannot be used to assess the strength of some special creatures.
Take, for example, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent and the blood-red nine-headed Bat King.
They are not normal soul beasts, but exotic beasts. They do not produce soul rings after death, and their strength cannot be accurately assessed by their age.
The Behemoth is also in this situation, but the difference is that the Behemoth's bloodline is much stronger than those two other beasts.
A being with a lifespan of ten thousand years is comparable to a powerhouse at the limit level. If we compare it to a soul beast, it would be at least at the level of five or six hundred thousand years.
Such a surge in strength is difficult for a soul beast to achieve; even a soul beast of Di Tian's caliber would find it hard to accomplish.
The only soul beast he could think of that could do this was probably one of the level of the Nine Dragon Kings.
As for the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, they estimate it will be even faster, not even taking ten thousand years.
"Is it possible for you to enter the mature stage?" Shi Yu asked expectantly.
Of course, he understood what Xiao Jin meant by "going a step further"—it meant becoming a god.
But is this possible?
He remained skeptical, believing that this world did not allow soul beasts to become gods, and that this might also include some exotic beasts.
Xiao Jin was clearly annoyed when this was mentioned, and frowned as he said, "Normally, I should have been able to enter the mature stage one or two thousand years ago, but I don't know why, I just can't truly enter the mature stage."

"It's like someone's holding my head down, preventing me from growing any taller," King Kong frowned slightly. He had heard Xiao Jin talk about this before and felt a little sorry for him.
His talent is extremely high, surpassing the vast majority of soul beasts, and his growth potential is exaggerated.
Perhaps it was because of the rule that soul beasts could not become gods that he was unable to properly display his talents.
Shi Yu had a feeling that he had expected this; it seemed that Xiao Jin could not escape the rule that soul beasts could not become gods.
"I contacted the God of War through the statue and learned that he said there was nothing he could do about it and that he was powerless to change the rules," King Kong said helplessly.
"Speaking of the God of War, Yuan Lang must have successfully inherited the title of God of War, right?" Shi Yu asked expectantly, as if he hadn't known before.
King Kong nodded with a smile and said, "Lord Yuan Lang spent twenty years successfully passing all the tests and successfully inheriting the position of God of War."

"After becoming a god, he spent another fifty years in the mortal realm, searching for you everywhere, but ultimately he couldn't find you. In the end, he ascended to the realm of gods with regret."

Shi Yu felt a warmth in his heart at the thought of "this kid." Yuan Lang was indeed a kind person and had not disappointed him.
He then inquired in more detail about the situation in Yuen Long.
King Kong also knew about the relationship between Yuan Lang and Shi Yu, so he naturally didn't hide anything from Shi Yu and told him everything he knew.
Shi Yu had previously learned about Yuen Long through history books, but now she has a more detailed understanding.
It turns out that Tang San and the others had also found their way here. After learning that Yuan Lang had obtained the inheritance of the God of War, Tang San, who had already become a god, almost killed him directly.
At that time, Tang San already possessed the power of two gods, which was something they simply couldn't contend with.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the God of War projected himself and successfully stopped Tang San.
Tang San didn't force the issue. After all, if he did, the God of War might not give his godhood to his partner, and he would have one more enemy when he ascended to the God Realm. It would only do him harm and no good.
Upon hearing this, Yu's gaze turned cold. He hadn't expected Tang San to be so ruthless, capable of killing a successor of a god.
Fortunately, the God of War proved to be reliable and successfully protected Yuen Long.
Therefore, the conflict between Yuan Lang and Tang San this time is not only due to Dugu Bo, but also because there were inherent contradictions and conflicts between them.
"Senior, are you able to contact Yuan Lang now? I'd like to speak with him," Shi Yu asked.
For him, only a few days had passed. It wasn't that he missed Yuan Lang, but rather that he wanted to learn about the current situation in the God Realm through Yuan Lang, such as what had become of the first Angel God in the God Realm after the war between the two gods.
He always remembered the first angel god and felt indebted to her.
"Of course, I'm sure the God of War would be very happy to see you again," King Kong replied with a smile.
Shi Yu was brought back to the site of the God of War's legacy.
"This site of the God of War's inheritance should actually have been abandoned after the God of War obtained the inheritance, since he currently has no intention of passing on his divine position."

"However, he said that since your assessment is not yet complete, he wants to preserve the temple until you complete the assessment."

"This preservation lasted for ten thousand years. He himself may have given up hope, but he still maintained his connection with the mortal world, perhaps still hoping for a miracle."

“Fortunately, the miracle still happened, and you really came back here again,” King Kong said as they walked.
Shi Yu smiled. If that's the case, then he can obtain a divinely bestowed soul ring by completing the assessment in this era, which is quite convenient.
I wonder if Yuan Lang can directly give me a dozen or so divinely bestowed spirit rings, so that I won't have to worry about spirit rings anymore.
Little Jin was perched on his head, much more active than usual since Shi Yu's return.
Upon arriving before the statue of the God of War, King Kong began to kneel in devout worship, attempting to communicate with the God of War from the divine realm.
A few minutes later, the statue of the god of war reacted and lit up with a dazzling golden light.
"Senior Vajra, is there something you need from me?" a deep, resonant voice rang out.
Shi Yu sensed both familiarity and unfamiliarity in his voice. After all, Yuan Lang was only seven years old when he left, and his voice hadn't fully developed yet, so it would definitely change as he grew older.
From that voice, he could roughly imagine what Yuan Lang would look like when he grew up. He would definitely be a strong young man, tall and robust, with an air of authority and dominance.
