Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 164 The Secret of Becoming a God

The knife was so fast that the Fire Dragon King could only see a scarlet afterimage.

At this moment, a layer of water curtain suddenly appeared in front of the Fire Dragon King. This layer of water curtain was obviously very thin, not even as thick as a piece of paper, but when Xu Yang chopped at it with his knife, it was as if he was chopping on cotton, without any force at all. All the power in his knife was absorbed by the water curtain, turning into ripples that dissipated all the power.

Seeing this, the Fire Dragon King dodged and distanced himself from Xu Yang.

However, Xu Yang ignored the Fire Dragon King and turned to look to the side. He saw a blue shadow that appeared there at some point. The shadow was also in the shape of a dragon, but its body length reached ten meters. It was obviously much stronger than the Fire Dragon King.

The blue dragon is not burly, but gives people a slender and graceful feeling. Its sapphire-like scales rise and fall like flowing water against the golden-red environment.

When he saw the dragon coming, Xu Yang instantly thought that it was the Water Dragon King who had also died next door. However, he did not expect that as a fallen beast god, the Water Dragon King would be in much better condition than the Fire Dragon King and could even mobilize the power of water.

He also felt a different aura from the water curtain, which he had never seen from any water-attributed soul masters or soul beasts before.

Xu Yang guessed that this should be the difference between gods and humans. If the settings in his memory are correct, most of the gods in the divine world hold their own powers. For example, the sea god is the god who holds the power of the sea, the angel god is the god who holds the power of the sky and part of the sun, the Asura god holds the power of killing and judgment, and so on.

Since the Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King were at least second-level gods during their lifetime, it means that they also possessed their own authority.

I just don’t know whether this authority is bestowed by heaven and earth, or whether authority is the law that needs to be understood by oneself.

In his previous life, Xu Yang had seen many settings. Many cultivation systems, when they reached a certain level, would have the concept of comprehending the laws. However, he did not know whether the major systems under the Douluo God Realm involved the cultivation of the laws. This was also a question he had been thinking about.

How to become a god? Perhaps we will have the answer today.

"Human, can you please let Zhao Yan go? I apologize to you on its behalf!"

The Water Dragon King's voice, like a silver bell, rang out, and there was a hint of apology in his eyes when he looked at Xu Yang. His voice was so gentle and refreshing that it won Xu Yang's favor in just a moment.

"Yuejiang, you don't need to beg for mercy from this little human. We are just barely surviving now. My remaining soul will not last for more than tens of thousands of years before it completely dissipates." The Fire Dragon King's voice sounded a little anxiously.

"Tens of thousands of years, he is indeed worthy of being a god,"

It turns out that the Fire Dragon King is called Zhao Yan, and the Water Dragon King is called Yue Jiang.

Xu Yang's expression dawned on him, but he remained alert. He sensed a mortal threat from Yue Jiang, a sign that its remnant possessed the power to kill him. "Human, there's no need to be so vigilant. I have the ability to kill you, but given my current state, I'm not likely to fare any better. I'd like to hold on a little longer. After all, I still have things to do!" Yue Jiang ignored Zhao Yan's words and turned to look at Xu Yang. He had already seen through Xu Yang's thoughts and spoke softly.

"I don't believe what you say!"

Xu Yang's eyes were alert, and he held the Holy Sun Blade tightly in his right hand. The killing god's domain on it continued to compress, and now it has condensed to the tip of the blade. The tip of the Holy Sun Blade has completely turned scarlet, and the domain seems to have changed as well. The murderous aura emanating from it frightened even Yue Jiang, the former Beast God.

"The dragon clan disdains to lie, not to mention that we two are dragon kings!" Yue Jiang said sincerely.

"How can you make me believe you with just a few words?" Xu Yang said with disdain.

"How about this! I see that your mental power has reached a critical point. You are only one step away from transforming your consciousness into a god, your soul into a spirit, and your mental power into the power of the spirit. I can teach you the method of cultivating the spirit. You must know that the spirit is the key to becoming a god." Yue Jiang said softly without getting angry.

"Yuejiang, you can't..." Zhao Yan was about to question after hearing Yuejiang's words, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Yuejiang's cold eyes, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He knew the temper of the person in front of him very well. Even though he was the Water Dragon King, when he got angry, even he, the Fire Dragon King, could not compare to him. In his current state, he would definitely be beaten up, so he had better shut his mouth.

"You said I was only one step away from achieving the Primordial Spirit. Why would I need your method? It would just take me a little longer at best!"

To be honest, Xu Yang was actually tempted. The most important thing in cultivation was the Dharma; everything else was secondary. He was able to achieve his current level of cultivation because he had created many of his own cultivation methods, which allowed him to make rapid progress, even surpassing common sense. Without the Dharma, if one wanted to improve, one could only use crude methods or rely on one's own accumulation. However, crude methods and relying on one's own accumulation were not only time-consuming, but also easily led to an unstable foundation, making it extremely difficult to achieve anything.

The Douluo Continent has been passed down for more than a few years, and the basic framework of the soul master system has long been established. Coupled with the memories of his previous life, Xu Yang is very confident in the practice below the level of God, but he does not have much confidence above the level of God. After all, he has never learned the relevant knowledge, and it is too difficult to create it out of thin air.

Now that he has the opportunity to obtain the method of cultivating the primordial spirit, how can he not be tempted? But he is also afraid that the Water Dragon King opposite him will play tricks. He can see that the Water Dragon King in front of him is deep-minded and must have his own plans. He doesn't want to be fooled.

"Of course there is no problem for you to break through on your own, but have you ever thought about the time it will take? Even though the gap is just a small step, it may take at least a hundred years for your condition to be completely transformed. As long as you can afford to wait, you don't have to accept my proposal." Yue Jiang said with a smile, as if he had Xu Yang in his arms.

"Not enough!" Xu Yang was silent for a while, but finally gave in and said directly: "I still want to know some things about God. What is the difference between having a god position and not having a god position?! What does a god position represent, and what is authority?!"

"I didn't expect you to know so much, even the authority!" Yue Jiang and Zhao Yan were surprised. They really didn't expect it. The two dragons stared at Xu Yang for a while, and Yue Jiang said: "Gods are divided into six levels according to their cultivation: God level, True God level, Super God level, Main God level, Half-step God King level, and God King level. According to the position of the god, they are divided into priests, third-level gods, second-level gods, first-level gods, and God Kings.

My cultivation level in my previous life was that of a Lord God, which is equivalent to a first-level God in the divine realm.

As for the difference between having a godhood and not having a godhood, it mainly lies in authority. Authority is bestowed upon gods by the will of the universe, and the key to obtaining a godhood is faith..."
