Chapter 329 The Greatest Obstacle on the Path to Godhood (Please Subscribe!!!)

“My souls all have bright futures. I will show them the way, tell them the direction to become gods, and urge them to become gods,” Su Ming said solemnly.

Although it felt that Su Ming's words were very sincere, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's intuition as a mythical beast still made it take a step back.

She looked at Su Ming and cautiously asked, "But this star tree must have been with you for a long time, maybe a thousand years?"

She saw Su Ming's spirit ring when she made the sacrifice.

Yellow, purple, black, black, orange—the orange one is the kind-looking old man next to him, Blue Silver Emperor. The two black spirit rings' auras are clearly inconsistent with the Star Tree's aura, while the purple thousand-year spirit ring is similar to the Star Tree's aura.

A thousand years—is this truly a bright future?
Su Ming looked at the three-eyed golden lion with a smile, without giving a direct answer.

"Can't you feel it?"

The three-eyed golden lion froze in place when Su Ming asked it a question.

She turned to look at the Star Tree spirit again and had to admit that she couldn't sense its cultivation level at all. Judging the Star Tree spirit's age was also based on Su Ming's soul ring and the Star Tree's aura.

“As I said, every soul has its own path to godhood. Xingchen’s cultivation is still in the accumulation stage. When the time comes, his cultivation will advance even faster than yours.”

Su Ming did not continue to say anything more about the cultivation direction of the Star Tree.

"Now that you've joined us, you should have a name. You are the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, so from now on we'll call you Xiao Rui."

The three-eyed golden lion breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, she almost thought Su Ming was going to call her a mistress.

"Can I be called Di Rui?"

She wants to share the same surname as Di Tian.

Su Ming glanced at her but did not deny what she said.

He will not take care of the Soul Beast race, and if Di Rui, as a member of the Soul Beast race, wants to help the Soul Beast race, he will not stop him.

Strictly speaking, he was not morally bound, but rather had no connection with the soul beast race. All his soul spirits, except for the light orb, were soul beasts.

"Your fate is intertwined with that of the Soul Beast race, but you are also trapped by it. You will be devoured by fate in 15,000 years. Now I have taken on the karma for you. You can continue your cultivation. I will solidify a force of fate in your spiritual sea. You should hurry up and comprehend it."

The so-called cause and effect actually refers to bearing the pressure from Tang San.

Su Ming, on the other hand, felt that having too much debt was no burden.

He already had a lot of grudges with Tang San, so this wouldn't make a difference.

After settling Di Rui in, Su Ming began to examine his gains.

"With the sacrifice of the auspicious beast, the soul ring is not only golden, but also possesses two soul skills: Fate's Lament, which renders all non-soul power defenses ineffective; and Soul Deprivation, which renders all mental defenses ineffective."

Both of their soul skills have elements of fate and both are designed to break down the enemy's defenses; one targets the physical body, and the other targets the mind.

In addition, Di Rui also provided him with a skull of destiny, which contained the power of destiny and had the characteristic of being able to evolve. Su Ming himself possessed the power of destiny, and after fusing with this skull, it directly caused him to undergo his first evolution.

The skull has its own defensive capabilities, including mental defense, which can grant immunity to five mental-attribute soul skills within a short period of time, with a time interval of one day.

In addition, it also has two soul skills. One is a pure mental attribute soul skill - Soul Shock Blast, which causes the opponent's soul to vibrate and inflicts severe damage from the inside out. The other is Fate Judgment, which allows the user to mobilize the power of fate as the arbiter, bringing misfortune to the enemy and converting it into good fortune for another person.

Luck remains the same; it simply shifts from one person to another.

If Su Ming remembered correctly, in the original novel, Huo Yuhao could only cause his enemies to be entangled in misfortune, but could not control the luck that was transferred away.

Now he's transferring luck.

"My approach is actually more scientific and won't cause chaos in destiny. After all, it only involves two aspects, rather than randomly throwing luck into the world and causing chaos in destiny."

After Su Ming finished reviewing the abilities of the soul rings and soul bones, Du Busi stepped forward.

"You really did get something for free, kid. Di Tian really gave in."

He looked on with a strange expression.

"Teacher, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Losing the auspicious beast is certainly a loss for the soul beast, but there are also some gains."

Poison Undying waved his hand. "Stop with that nonsense. You still want to talk about becoming a god, don't you?"

He had high expectations for Su Ming's ascension to godhood, but he remained very clear-headed.

The fifth ring, with a lifespan of 100,000 years, is very strong and outstanding. In the eyes of all Soul Masters, this talent is the potential to become a god.

But what about the seventh ring, which takes 100,000 years?

A single martial soul with a seventh ring that lasts 100,000 years—does that have the potential to become a god?

Is the difference really that big?

Over the years, Du Bu Si has thought a lot. He recalled the Sea God's ascension to godhood ten thousand years ago and consulted the records, but he couldn't find any way in which Tang San's configuration was better than Su Ming's.

Even considering twin martial souls, Tang San is still no match for Su Ming.

But he went up anyway.

Over the course of ten thousand years, how many Soul Masters with even better configurations than Tang San have failed to ascend to the top?
What kept Du Bu Si calm was Su Ming's soul power martial soul.

"Xiao Ming, your soul power..."

"The improvement brought by Di Rui is not significant. After all, she only has 15,000 years of cultivation, and she only raised me to level 62."

Strictly speaking, a 15,000-year-old spirit ring isn't even considered high for a fifth spirit ring.

"Xiao Rui's cultivation level is still too low. He needs to cultivate intensively for a period of time."

Her four soul skills are already very powerful. If she can advance to the level of 100,000 years, these soul skills will inevitably undergo a transformation.

"Level 62, one of which I achieved through three months of self-cultivation." Su Ming sighed and said, "Advancing by one level every three months, that's such a slow pace."

Poison didn't kill him; his lips twitched.

He really wanted to close his ears.

Is Su Ming speaking human language?

Soul Emperor, one level every three months, this is a breakthrough speed that can only be achieved by obtaining a great opportunity in the world of Soul Masters. You are still not satisfied with maintaining this speed normally?

Su Ming noticed Du Bu Si's expression and realized he couldn't explain it to the teacher.

Achieving Level 1 in three months may seem fast, but it's actually quite slow.

If you do the math, you'll advance four levels a year, and it will take you twelve levels over three years!
He's only level 62!

There are still 38 levels to go before reaching level 100, which means it will take at least three three-year periods, or nine years!

He's just turned sixteen now, and in nine years he'll be twenty-five.

"Compared to your upgrade speed, I think you should pay more attention to your next soul core." Poison Undying said speechlessly, "Although the condensation of your second soul core was uneventful and without any major incidents, it consumed quite a lot of resources."

It's another soul core battle armor, and another fusion of two 100,000-year-old torso bones.

How do I condense the third soul core?

Su Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher, don't worry, I have a clue about the third soul core. At worst, I can just use soul-forging metal to create a top-tier soul core battle armor for myself."

Poison Undying shook his head.

"What I'm worried about is what comes next."

If the goal is truly to reach level 100 and become a god, then how should one cultivate after obtaining the third soul core?

Can three soul cores sustain you until level 100?

　Ugh, today's update is late again. I can't keep going like this. I'll at least update once tomorrow morning, and finish the rest in the afternoon.

　　Two more chapters to come.
