Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 338 The Road to Godhood
Xu Tianyuan's expression changed, and his armor began to transform continuously. In an instant, he was completely enveloped in a humanoid soul tool.

With a wave of his hand behind him, the surging army of undead was blasted open with a dragon's roar, creating a path for them.

Without the slightest hesitation, the soul-guided thruster carried him rapidly backward.

As for the mission to intercept the evil spirit masters and Xu Tianran's orders, he no longer thought about them. He only knew that if he had been a little later, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps he led would have become one of these undead armies.

On the other side, Lin Xiao did not stop him, allowing him to lead the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps to retreat eastward.

With a light wave of his long staff, though no sound was heard, the undead army on the ground halted its advance as if on command.

Lin Xiao's gaze fell on the earth, as if he was still savoring the feeling of controlling the undead army.

He suddenly understood why Electrox looked down on the methods of those evil spirit masters in the Holy Spirit Cult.

All they can do is create some vengeful spirits and fabricate a few corpses.

Compared to the undead army that commands enough to annihilate any army on the Douluo Continent, those are nothing but child's play.

With a long sigh, Lin Xiao lightly waved his staff, and wisps of remnant souls left the corpses, drifting towards Lin Xiao before entering the world of the dead.

The skeletons instantly lost their previous agility, collapsed to the ground, and mingled with the mud.

"Now you should understand why I hesitated for so long before teaching you necromancy."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly. The Undead Calamity, the Holy God of the Dead—these titles weren't just impressive to hear.

Natural disasters are a force beyond human control. Lin Xiao has no doubt that as he recovers more fragments of Electrolux's divine consciousness, one day, if he so desires, the entire Douluo Continent can be transformed into a land of the dead.

“I’m glad you didn’t kill innocent people after you gained this power,” Electrox’s voice rang out again. “To master extraordinary power, one must have the corresponding mindset.”

"If you cannot fully control your own power, you will eventually be troubled by it."

"I understand, teacher." Looking at the ground that had returned to calm, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and slowly descended from the air.

"After this, we can't speculate on a god's thoughts, nor will I judge whether the god's actions were right or wrong. I just want to know what you want to do."

"Should we continue recruiting evil spirit masters to fulfill that deity's instructions, just like the original Holy Spirit Cult, or should we defy that deity's arrangements and await divine punishment?"

Lin Xiao lowered his head slightly as he listened to Electrolux's words, pondering what had just happened.

The attack from the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps left him little time to think. Only after he was temporarily safe did he have the mind to reflect on his conversation with that deity.

It was all too obvious what the deity wanted to do. His arrangements within the Holy Spirit Cult had been destroyed by him, so naturally he wanted to create another Holy Spirit Cult to accumulate negative emotions and attract the arrival of the Abyss Plane.

Just now, Electrox also used necromancy to tell him that if he wanted, he could plunge the entire continent into a necromancy crisis, completing the gods' arrangements even more easily than Zhongliwu.

but……

This also means that more "Lin Xiao" will appear.

Turning slightly back, even though what lay behind him was now ruins, Lin Xiao's gaze seemed to see himself, who had experienced so much here.

He didn't want to experience that fear and that oppression again, nor did he want anyone else to go through it.

"Teacher, you just taught me this kind of necromancy, and now you're asking this question? Don't you already have the answer?"

"Haha, I want to hear you say it yourself." "To be honest, the gods are high above, who dares to disobey their arrangements? I admit I have all the flaws that humans have, I'm cowardly, I want to live."

"However, I will not create another Holy Spirit Cult. Although I haven't figured it out yet, I want to try to see if there are any other ways."

"Then let's try to surpass the gods."

Electrolux's voice suddenly interrupted Lin Xiao's thoughts.

"teacher?"

"Just as you said, it's all because you lack the power. If you don't want to go against your own heart or the will of the gods, then try to become like them."

"At that time, you can start to think about where things should go between you and him, and about this continent."

"Although I didn't spend much time with that deity, I sensed many things from it, such as the source of the power of the gods in your world."

“I think you can also try to take a different path to godhood than I did back then. I didn’t become a god not because I couldn’t, but because I didn’t want to. Now, I will pass on all my memories of becoming a god to you without reservation.”

"As for what kind of path you will ultimately take, that depends on how far you can go."

"Ah."

Lin Xiao nodded heavily.

Having memories of his past life, he naturally harbored some fantasies, but his cultivation level was far from that of a "god".

Now, although his cultivation level is not the strongest, it is still high on this continent, and he has enough strength to see the scenery beyond the world.

Electrolux's journey to godhood was the first step he took on his path to godhood.

"Roar--"

Just then, a roar suddenly came from the remaining forest behind Lin Xiao.

The powerful spiritual energy and soul energy surged forth simultaneously, causing Lin Xiao's expression to change.

He could only think of one person with such cultivation level of soul power and spiritual power: the Evil Emperor who originally lived in the Demon Forest.

It had been silent for some reason, but it has now clearly awakened.

Turning around, Lin Xiao's soul power surged, and the soul tool under his cloak glowed with a soft light as he looked into the depths of the forest.

However, before Lin Xiao could fully prepare, that terrifying aura suddenly shot out rapidly, its figure flashing back and forth in the space, fleeing desperately.

It couldn't care less about Lin Xiao or any of the other surviving soul beasts; it only focused on breaking through space and fleeing into the distance.

Lin Xiao looked slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered.

On this continent, even Di Tian, ​​ranked first among the ten most ferocious beasts, could not possibly make the Evil Emperor flee in such a panic.

It's likely that what just stopped the Evil Emperor wasn't a soul beast or a soul master, but rather...

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao looked up slightly towards the depths of the woods. If he wasn't mistaken, Huo Yuhao had gone in that direction after leaving the Holy Spirit Sect.
