Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 135: Following Shrek's Path Leaves Them with No Way Out

Those who come from Shrek Academy are known throughout the Douluo Continent for being invincible among their peers. This is a fact recognized by the entire Douluo Continent, including the Sun Moon Empire.

Otherwise, the soul masters on the continent wouldn't be so eager to attend Shrek Academy, the so-called "number one academy on the continent." Those who can graduate from Shrek's inner academy can indeed be called elites.

The soul ring ratio must be optimal, the combat experience must be abundant, and the soul power level must be high enough.

Very few people can graduate from Shrek Academy. Those who do are basically the most talented individuals of their time, making it difficult for them not to become elites.

Those who can survive the brutal elimination system of Shrek Academy and live off Xuanzi are certainly not considered elites.
Yet these two elites, with their Contra Douluo cultivation, couldn't even put up a fight against Lin Nuo and were easily killed!

Is this the true power of a Divine Examiner?!

“No wonder, according to the legends of Douluo Continent, no gods have appeared for ten thousand years. If you have to be as abnormal as you to be noticed by a god and inherit a godhood, that would be too difficult.” Xiao Hongchen sighed helplessly.

Seven 100,000-year soul rings, twin martial souls, an abnormally powerful world force, and a second martial soul that has obtained the Snow Empress's foundation—is this all it takes to obtain the inheritance of a god?
Lao Xiao was starting to have some doubts about life.

Is the threshold to becoming a god really this high?
"I'm an exception, don't use me as an example. Actually, the conditions for becoming a god are not as harsh as you think. It's just because of some special reasons." Lin Nuo waved his hand, signaling Xiao Hongchen not to be discouraged.

"Arno, can you tell us about it?" Meng Hongchen also came over.

The word "god" is something that no one in the Douluo Continent would not yearn for.

In particular, having a divine successor by one's side, and being the person closest to the mystery of the gods, makes it even harder to control one's curiosity about the gods.

“There’s nothing I can’t say. You can listen too, Ah Xiao. After all, in my opinion, you also have the potential to become a god, without a doubt.” Lin Nuo shrugged.

"Wait, I have another question!" Xiao Hongchen raised his hand again, just like a student in class who couldn't figure out the answer and couldn't wait to ask the teacher for help.

"Ask me any questions you have. I can tell you the secrets to becoming a god. What else can't you ask?" Lin Nuo rolled his eyes.

"Ahem, well, the question I want to ask is a bit unusual." Xiao Hongchen coughed twice before voicing his doubts, "I say, Arno, what you said about attacking that Moon Goddess Soul Douluo from Shrek Academy just now was a bit strange."

"Although the Sun Moon Martial Soul is indeed the inherited Martial Soul of our Sun Moon Empire's royal family, we have been in contact with the Douluo Continent for four thousand years. It is normal for some bloodlines to have been passed down. Strictly speaking, she is no longer a member of our Sun Moon Empire."

"Aren't you being a little too biased towards the empire from the perspective of the royal family? You know, there aren't many good people among those royals. Arno, what illusions do you have about them? We're not on the same side as them."

Meng Hongchen blinked but didn't comment. However, it was clear from her eyes that she was watching the spectacle with amusement, watching Hongchen's misfortune unfold.

“No wonder Grandpa Jing never lets you touch these things, he’s so adorably silly.” Lin Nuo patted his forehead, then looked at Meng Hongchen, “Little Meng, you should talk about this.”

Meng Hongchen smiled and gave an OK sign, while Xiao Hongchen's face darkened. Of course, he had also gotten the answer from his sister.

"Whether she's a member of our Sun Moon Empire or not is no longer important. What matters is our stance. It's a fact that she possesses the inherited martial soul of our Sun Moon Empire. Arno is only acting from the perspective of the royal family because it's more advantageous for us." Don't let Meng Hongchen's seemingly carefree demeanor fool you; she's actually very clear-headed. "The Shrek Academy group loves to speak from a moral high ground. What Arno needs to do is follow Shrek's path, leaving them with no way to go. He needs to be the first to label that woman as a traitor and ungrateful. Even if a conflict arises later because of killing her, it won't be seen as a provocation against Shrek, but rather as Shrek's unilateral declaration of war against us."

In the near future, the Sun and Moon Empire will definitely launch a holy war of unification, and Linno has his own plans for the war.

Regardless of his true nature behind the scenes, he must at least appear upright and righteous on the surface.

I learned it from Tang San.

There's no other way; to deal with Shrek Academy and Tang San, you have to be even more shameless than them, otherwise you'll just be endlessly disgusted by them.

"Damn it, those green-headed flies from Shrek Academy are disgusting. I've lost my appetite. Let's just get going and talk as we go." Lin Nuo felt uneasy just thinking about it. The atmosphere in Douluo Continent had become so distorted; it was all Tang San's fault no matter how you looked at it.

You really know how to get yourself killed, you little bastard!

“Okay.” Lao Xiao and Xiao Meng naturally had no objections, and the three of them set off again, heading deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the way, Lin Nuo also explained the current situation and predicament of the God Realm to Xiao Hongchen and the others.

"To understand the gods, you must first understand the structure of the God Realm. The God Realm is not much different from our Douluo Continent; it is a world inhabited by people. Even the gods are just more powerful humans. Wherever there are people, there will be society," Lin Nuo said.

"If you think of the God Realm's structure as the empire of our Douluo Continent, you'll get a pretty good idea. There are only a few high-level positions, like the Five Guardians of the Nation. Each Guardian has one chief commander and two deputy chief commanders. Only when they retire can others take over the position. The God Realm is the same."

"The number of divine positions that the divine realm can accommodate is limited. The divine realm is already saturated. The only way to become a god is by inheriting a divine position, but many gods are actually unwilling to leave."

One person, one job; if others don't step up, how can you improve?

It's a very simple principle.

"The threshold for becoming a god isn't actually that high. In the Douluo Continent, at least half of those who can become Limit Douluo, if not all of them, are qualified to become gods. But qualifications are one thing, without the watchful eye of a god, no matter how qualified they are, they can't become gods, unless they are like me."

The realm of gods is really nothing special, at least according to Lin Nuo.

From his perspective outside the fourth wall, the realm of gods was actually inhabited by a group of incredibly boring, immortal ordinary humans.

At most, their strength has increased by a tiny bit.

Lin Nuo's explanation also shattered Lao Xiao and Xiao Meng's idealized view of deities.

Becoming a god in Douluo Continent is like the Immortal Path in the Mortal World next door. Before it was understood, a group of emperors pondered it for hundreds of millions of years, but only a handful of them actually embarked on this path. After Emperor Ye opened up the situation, one emperor after another became immortals.
