Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 264: Changes in the Lord's Status

Lin Yi held the imperial seals of the four kingdoms in his hands, with an undisguised joy in his eyes.

In my mind, the familiar voice also sounded:
"Complete the five trials of light, reward soul power increased by five levels, can be retained, light god affinity increased by 30%."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. The difficulty of the Five Light Tests was actually nothing to him, but how to complete it with the least loss was his real headache.

Before, Lin Yi thought about setting up a federation or a community, but in the end Lin Yi decided to form an empire.

It's not that Lin Yi loves power. Even if he becomes the only emperor in the end, he will just delegate power. It is impossible to expect Lin Yi to sit on the throne every day and handle various affairs.

The ultimate reason why Lin Yi chose the imperial form was because the power of a federation was too dispersed, and the final result was often caught up in various power struggles and numerous internal factions. Lin Yi didn't care, but he didn't like it.

In comparison, although the hereditary system has its limitations, there are always people supervising those in high positions, which makes it more suitable for the current Douluo Continent.

After all, there is no perfect system, only the most suitable one.

The last point is that being the only emperor on the continent is cool.

that's enough.

Looking at the titles given by the four countries, Lin Yi decided to open these people's eyes.

The civilians of the four countries hardly care about the ownership of the continent. Peace and having enough food to eat are their greatest wishes. Therefore, if these high-level and powerful people can be stabilized, the process of unifying the four countries will be much smoother.

The fact that he subdued Kong Deming single-handedly had already frightened everyone, so now he had to convince these people.

After Lin Yi came to this world, many of his achievements were directly "taken" from other worlds. There is only one thing that has truly gone from a theory to reality.

That is the method of Horcruxes.

According to Lin Yi's deduction, the upper limit of this method is unlimited, but his strength is improving too fast. Although the method of the Horcrux is not bad, it has long been unable to keep up with his progress.

Lin Yi's favorite golden staff has now become a scepter, with only symbolic meaning left.

It can no longer provide Lin Yi with any amplification during battle.

The status of the Lord of the Planes cannot be compared with a little elemental amplification.

Although Lin Yi has developed a growable Horcrux, the process is too slow. Now if Lin Yi wants to have a handy Horcrux, he has only two choices.

First, he would train the golden staff again, adding various rare treasures to it so that the golden staff could keep up with his current strength. However, every subsequent leap in strength would require him to train again. Although the internal nourishment was stable, the speed was too slow.

Secondly, he would refine a suitable Horcrux, ignoring the loss, and forge a top-level Horcrux with all kinds of top-notch materials, all in one step.

Although they have deep feelings for the golden staff, at this moment, it is obvious that the second one can shock everyone more.

Moreover, Lin Yi has already prepared the materials.

That is the Imperial Seal of the Four Kingdoms.

Using the inherited jade seals of the four countries, the power of faith accumulated by the four countries for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and the royal dragon energy of the four countries, a soul weapon that is most suitable for Lin Yi is refined.

For this upcoming Horcrux, Lin Yi plans to name it - Boundary Seal.

As a symbol of the Lord of the Plane who unifies four countries and controls a world.

Moreover, it was refined using a special method. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be Lin Yi's magic weapon in the future.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yi threw all the jade seals of the four countries into the air. With a light tap, the power of the plane enveloped them and turned into a raging fire, starting to forge the jade seals of the four countries.

Regarding this Horcrux, Lin Yi doesn't plan to add too many materials.

The four-nation jade seal contains the dragon energy, the power of faith, and the power of the plane, which is the main ingredient.

According to Lin Yi's idea, when the Boundary Seal is cultivated, it will be able to interact with the Douluo plane to a certain extent.

Finally, when the boundary seal is completed, it will become the symbol of the master of the plane.

If this can be achieved, then the growth of the Boundary Seal will not require Lin Yi to nurture it himself. As long as he can step by step ascend to the position of Lord of the Planes, the Boundary Seal will be continuously enhanced by the power of the planes and become the companion artifact of Lin Yi, the Lord of the Planes.

The people from the four countries watched Lin Yi forging the jade seal, feeling puzzled, but they could only watch.

Xu Jiawei and others didn't even dare to show any dissatisfaction.

In this world, strength is ultimately respected. Lin Yi's strength has exceeded their imagination. In this world, Lin Yi is absolutely free.

Compared with Xu Jiawei and others, top powerhouses such as Kong Deming and Du Bushi had strange looks in their eyes. They could feel the strange fluctuations emitted by the flames and the things inside the flames.

It was a power that they were somewhat familiar with, but upon closer thought, it was extremely unfamiliar.

For strong people like them, the pursuit of power has almost become an instinct.

Especially that power, which was grand, profound, and peaceful. In it, they seemed to see the possibility of going further.

If I could get such power from Lin Yi, submitting to Lin Yi wouldn't seem like a bad thing.

Compared with others, Kong Deming saw more.

As the only tenth-level soul engineer today, he could clearly sense that Lin Yi's current weapon refining method was completely different from that of soul guides.

It is not as sophisticated as a soul guide, but it is more mysterious. Indistinctly, it seems that its upper limit is even higher than that of a soul guide. This is unimaginable how attractive it is to Kong Deming, the father of soul guides.

Kong Deming was almost shattered after being easily defeated by Lin Yi just now. All he had in his heart was endless mockery of himself, overestimating his own abilities, and self-denial such as a gnat trying to shake a tree.

At that time, Kong Deming no longer cared about the glory of the sun and the moon, or the royal bloodline, and he even began to question the value of his existence.

Total despair is the truest reflection of Kong Deming's inner feelings.

But at this moment, seeing the mysterious weapon refining method demonstrated by Lin Yi, Kong Deming found that he seemed to have found the motivation to live.

Lin Yi's evaluation just now appeared in his mind again, 'As a scientific researcher, Mr. Kong's strength should not be underestimated.'

Kong Deming was almost broken by this sentence.

Researchers...

He, Kong Deming, was once the strongest ninth-level soul engineer of the Sun-Moon Empire, the only tenth-level soul engineer in the current continent, the patron saint of the Sun-Moon royal family, the first and only extreme combat force in the history of Sun-Moon, but he was actually called a scientific researcher.

Although there is no word "scientific researcher" in Sun and Moon, the meaning is not difficult to understand.

Lin Yi treated him as a pure researcher rather than a soul master specialized in combat.

This double insult to his status and strength almost made Kong Deming faint.

However, the huge gap in strength left Kong Deming with no reason to refute. He even began to feel sorry for himself and almost wanted to commit suicide.

But now, looking at the weapon refining method demonstrated by Lin Yi and feeling the inexplicable excitement rising in his heart, Kong Deming thought about Lin Yi's words again, and his mood was completely opposite to before.

Before, Kong Deming wanted to kill Lin Yi, but now, Kong Deming feels that Lin Yi really understands him.

Looking back on Kong Deming’s life, soul guides run through it all.

What power, strength, struggle, looking back, Kong Deming found that what he liked most was actually the soul guide, and the rest were just incidental.

But after being promoted to the tenth-level soul engineer, no matter how unwilling Kong Deming was, he finally found that he could not find the way forward.

At this moment, Lin Yi appeared with a new method of refining weapons, and the upper limit seemed to be even higher than that of soul guides.

Kong Deming hurriedly observed it carefully, not to steal the teacher's knowledge, but hoping to draw inferences from it and find the possibility of further development of the soul guide.

A lifetime of pursuit has already made Kong Deming's bones and blood merge with the soul guide. It is not easy to change his mind.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't know what was happening in Kong Deming's mind. Now all of Lin Yi's attention was focused on the boundary seal he had refined.

Compared with an unrelated old man's future artifact, his own artifact is definitely more important.

He mobilized all his tangible yet intangible spiritual power, sensing the changes in the four kingdoms' seals within the divine fire formed from the power of the plane. The original materials of the seals had been burned away by the divine fire, leaving only pure dragon energy and the power of faith. After a moment's thought, Lin Yi focused his consciousness on the six-petaled snowflake on his chest, which contained the power of faith accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years in the far north. Lin Yi took out a portion of it and infused that portion of faith power into the divine fire.

It's not over yet. Lin Yi's spirit connected with the ancient tree of the world. Using himself as a medium, he borrowed some of the original power of the ancient tree of the world and put it in.

Finally, Lin Yi extracted more than 30% of the world power of the small world in his world tree and threw it into the divine fire again.

The divine fire burned fiercely, fusing all the materials into one while also mixing their original plane power into them.

The divine fire burned for two hours before it slowly went out, and the people from the four countries finally came back to their senses.

Kong Deming was paying close attention to the entire process, but the divine fire was transformed from the power of the plane, and Kong Deming's mental power could not see through it.

The divine fire dissipated, and something quietly emerged from the fire.

It still looks like a seal, but compared with the previous four seals, one can tell at a glance that its essence is just an ordinary object. Now this seal is as white as jade, with a dragon shape naturally appearing on it and tree patterns carved on all four sides.

Only the corner of the seal is a little bit protruding.

This is because that part is different from the jade seal, but it is a dazzling golden color, as if real gold is inlaid on it.

The combination of gold and jade may seem abrupt at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one finds that the two are extremely harmonious and integrated.

This golden color was not intentional by Lin Yi, but was due to the source of his power.

The power of the plane and the power of faith mixed together to create the jade color of the whole body, and the dragon energy turned into the shape of a dragon on the seal. For some reason, during the formation of the seal, the dragon energy had an extremely high status.

The origin of the ancient tree of the world turned into tree patterns around it, and the power of Lin Yi's small world, as if due to Lin Yi's soul power, appeared golden in appearance.

And unlike the power of faith and the power of the plane, although the power of Lin Yi's small world is not strong, it refuses to merge with other powers. That stubborn look makes it seem like Lin Yi is stubborn.

However, under Lin Yi's control, these forces must be merged into one.

Thus, the power of that small world finally occupied a corner alone and became what it is now.

Lin Yi looked at the boundary seal with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Turning the seal over, the contents on the seal came into view:
Mandated by Heaven,

May you live long and prosper.

The eight big words occupied Lin Yi's entire sight.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Yi suddenly had a more captivating aura at this moment, and the pair of eyes that always had a hint of smile in them were now filled with a heat that could not be looked directly at.

A desire called 'ambition' filled Lin Yi's heart at this moment.

After a long time, Lin Yi came back to his senses and looked at the people from the four countries again. He felt bored.

As the lord of the plane, shouldn't the entire plane crawl at his feet?
What are the four countries? If Lin Yi wants to be someone, he must be the supreme being. One day, even the gods will bow down before him.

A hint of red replaced the black in Lin Yi's eyes.

‘Crack! ’

Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of breaking in Lin Yi's mind, as if he had just woken up from a dream. There was a bit of confusion in Lin Yi's eyes, and he woke up after a few breaths.

Looking at the seal in his hand, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little scared. Is this thing so powerful?
Mandated by Heaven, may you live long and prosper...

Continuing to look at the boundary seal, Lin Yi suddenly let out a light exclamation. There seemed to be some changes on the seal surface.

'Granted' by Heaven,

May you live long and prosper.

Lin Yi seemed to be a little bit enlightened. So that's it. Is this the difference?

Now, Lin Yi held the boundary seal and understood the difference between now and before.

If before Jie Xi was greater than Lin Yi, now Lin Yi is greater than Jie Xi.

The Boundary Seal belongs to Lin Yi, not Lin Yi, who is a subordinate of the Boundary Seal.

Holding this boundary seal, Lin Yi could clearly feel that the fate of the four countries was now in his hands.

No, it’s no longer four countries, but one country, an empire belonging to Lin Yi alone.

Moreover, perhaps because of the addition of the power of faith from the Far North, the Boundary Seal can also influence the Far North.

His status is even higher than that of Xue Di, the true Lord of the Far North.

Xue Di actually noticed it, but she didn't take action after sensing the familiar aura of the contract.

In this way, the four countries, Shrek, and the Far North are all under Lin Yi's control, and the semi-artifact, the Boundary Seal, makes this control clear.

So, at this moment, the entire Douluo plane was shaken, and the sound of celebration resounded in the hearts of every creature in the Douluo plane.

Today, the Lord of the Douluo Plane took the first step towards his throne.

There was such movement in the Douluo plane, and as a powerful force in the plane, the God Realm naturally noticed it.

In the Temple of Destruction, the God of Destruction suddenly looked up, his gaze seemed to be looking through the center of the divine realm to the Douluo plane, and saw Lin Yi's true body.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a satisfied arc, and a voice echoed in the temple:
"Douluo, the Lord of the Planes, is quite good."

In the Seagod Temple, Tang San suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a terrifying murderous aura in his azure pupils.

As a creature originally from the Douluo plane, although the power of the God King has been sealed, the throne of God is still in him, and he can also clearly perceive the changes from the Douluo plane.

"Damn it! Lin Yi, you deserve death!"

In the Douluo plane, Lin Yi put away the boundary seal and welcomed his own coronation.

Although there is still a gap between him and the divine realm, the appearance of the boundary seal and the submission of the four countries and the far north allowed Lin Yi to finally get rid of the word "agent" in front of the title of Lord of the Planes.

Although he is still not the true master of the plane, Lin Yi can do more in the Douluo plane.

Today, Lin Yi has truly stepped one foot onto the position of Lord of the Planes. When both feet step on it at the same time, that will be the day when Lin Yi will truly be crowned as Lord of the Planes.

With Lin Yi's current rate of progress, that day won't be too far away.

Lin Yi was in a very good mood for a moment.

In addition, Lin Yi found a way to make himself stronger besides soul power.

That is the true Unified Douluo.

Not only humans, but also other creatures on Douluo Continent are no weaker than humans.

That is, the soul beast.

If the soul beast also surrenders, not only will Lin Yi gain the power of faith, but the feedback from the Lord of the Plane will also satisfy him.

Now, the Far North is in Lin Yi's hands. There is only one place on the continent that requires Lin Yi to exert his strength.

When people on the mainland mention soul beasts, their first reaction is that place. As for whether that place will accept it, Lin Yi is quite confident in his heart.

I have wasted a lot of effort before, and even slowed down my growth. Now, it is time to reap the rewards.

Lin Yi looked back into the distance.

There it is, the stars!
