Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 250 Chaos Appears

Jing Chen was drinking tea, and the pot was almost finished, but Nymph and Astraea hadn't returned. Ignoring them, Jing Chen went back to his room, clenched his right hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his palm. Looking at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, Jing Chen gently reached out and stroked its blade.

Speaking of which, the Xuanyuan Sword has been with him for a long time. Logically speaking, the Xuanyuan Sword is also a divine weapon, but Jing Chen has never seen the sword spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword.

Aside from merging the Xuanyuan Sword's spirit and its physical form into one, Jing Chen had only established some kind of connection with the Xuanyuan Sword. At the time, Jing Chen thought the Xuanyuan Sword's spirit should be its sword spirit, but now it seems that's not the case.

Ten golden spirit rings gradually emerged from top to bottom, finally hovering beneath Jing Chen's feet. Looking at the ten golden spirit rings at his feet, Jing Chen was somewhat stunned.

He considered his memory to be quite good. He remembered that before, the Xuanyuan Sword only had one gold spirit ring, the tenth one, right? Why does the Xuanyuan Sword now have ten gold spirit rings? When exactly did this change happen?

Was it when I inherited the position of the Creator God? That doesn't make sense either. When I inherited the position of the Creator God, it was because I obtained the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus, right? According to the usual pattern, the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus should have ten golden spirit rings, right?

Thinking of this, Jing Chen opened his left hand, and a twin lotus with black and white flowers appeared in the palm of his right hand.

Activating his soul power, Jing Chen didn't see a single soul ring. However, this was within Jing Chen's expectations. The system's previous description was very clear: the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus couldn't be attached to any soul ring, because the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus itself was an existence surpassing the divine level.

Jing Chen rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought. Had he overlooked something? The Sword God's position was only at the God-King level. When he created his own godhood, the Xuanyuan Sword's spirit rings shouldn't have changed at all…

Thinking this, Jing Chen put away the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus, opened his right hand, and the Blue Silver Emperor appeared in his palm. After activating his soul power, ten golden soul rings floated beneath Jing Chen's feet.

So even the Blue Silver Emperor's spirit rings are gold? Where exactly did this anomaly occur that I overlooked?

Jing Chen pondered, thinking about all sorts of possibilities, but no matter how he thought about it, Jing Chen couldn't recall any possibility that could cause all the soul rings to have their lifespan increased to one million years.

"Because the host has reached the highest level in Douluo Continent, the age of the spirit rings will naturally be upgraded to the highest level."

Just as Jing Chen was racking his brains without finding a solution, the system's voice suddenly came through. Hearing the system's explanation, all of Jing Chen's previous problems were resolved.

Jing Chen asked, "Why didn't I feel anything when my seniority increased?"

"Because the host's strength has reached its peak, the increase in the age of other martial souls' soul rings will not bring any boost to the host, and the body will naturally not give any feedback."

Jing Chen nodded. The system's explanation was the best answer so far. His strength was already at the ceiling level in Douluo Continent. If the spirit rings of other martial souls increased in age, bringing him further boosts, what would that be like? He'd shatter the ceiling!

Having received the answer, Jing Chen stopped worrying about it and put everything away. Suddenly, he heard a commotion outside.

Jing Chen opened the window and peeked out. It was Icarus who had returned. However, Jing Chen also saw that the watermelons Icarus had planted in the yard had been completely eaten, leaving the watermelon patch a mess. Jing Chen's lips twitched. Oh no…

In the courtyard, Nymph and Astraea kept the door tightly shut, preventing Icarus inside from seeing her beloved watermelons in this state.

"No, this is bad!" Astraea said to Nymph beside her.

"Isn't there a good way? A good way," Nymph said.

Icarus opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nymph and Astraea, who were blocking the door, shuddered. Astraea said to Nymph beside her, "By the way, how about using Nymph's intrusion ability to give the watermelon the command to grow rapidly?"

"Huh? But I've never used that ability on plants before!" Nymph exclaimed in surprise.

But after saying that, Nymph walked up to the watermelon patch. There was no other way; Icarus was watching outside, and if he saw his beloved watermelons in this state… his whole family would be torn apart!

"Now is not the time to say such things." Nymph stretched out a hand, and a green light shone on her hand.

The next moment, two enormous roots sprouted from the soil, intertwining and growing rapidly. Judging by their height, they must have been at least ten meters tall. At the very top of the roots grew a gigantic watermelon. In a split second, the giant watermelon opened its mouth wide, and the roots swayed wildly.

Jing Chen's lips twitched violently as he watched from his room. This thing... was in serious trouble...

When Nymph and Astraea saw the monster emerge from the ground, they panicked. Astraea shouted, "What is that?!"

Nymph also shouted, "I don't know!"

Just then, Tomoki, who was in the room, suddenly opened the window and shouted at Nymph and Astraea below, "Hey, you guys are so noisy!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a huge shadow loomed over Tomoki. Tomoki froze, "Wait... what's this?!"

The monster bit into Tomoki's body, its mouth opening and closing until it devoured him. It chewed on him a few times.

"It's melting! It's melting!" Tomoki screamed from the monster's mouth.

Next, the monster spat out a watermelon seed from its mouth. Jing Chen knew that the watermelon seed was Zhi Shu.

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Jing Chen immediately used concealment to hide his presence.

Nymph and Astraea looked at the watermelon seeds on the ground. Astraea exclaimed in alarm, "They've turned into seeds, Senpai!"

"Now, now is not the time to think about these things." Clearly, Nymph was also somewhat flustered, judging from her tone.

"Anyway, let's plant this seed and see."

Nymph picked up the seeds from the ground, dug a small hole with a shovel, buried the seeds in it, and then covered them with soil.

The next moment, the seeds that Nymph had just planted also grew wildly, and another monster sprouted from that small mound of earth.

The moment the monster appeared, two roots wrapped around Astraea's thighs, lifting her up.

"No! Where are you touching?!" Astraea shouted, her face flushed.

Nymph stared blankly as Astraea was being bitten on the lower body and chewed frantically by the newly appeared monster.

Jing Chen's lips twitched wildly again. "Goodness, even in this state you still can't resist taking advantage of me. You're something else, Xiao Zhi."

"Open the door, Nymph," came Icarus's voice.

"No, it's nothing, it's nothing," Nymph stammered.

"I heard Tomoki scream," Icarus said.

Nymph watched Astraea struggling in the monster's mouth when suddenly, a hand appeared from behind the door, and Icarus smashed the door open with a single hand!

Seeing that there was really no other way, Nymph decided to go all out, took a few steps forward, and took out a universal card. "Since that's the case, I'll just have to destroy the evidence!"

A cannon appeared on Nymph's shoulder, and at the same time, Icarus smashed the door open and saw the scene in the courtyard.

But Nymph pulled the trigger immediately, and a beam of energy shot out, hitting both monsters accurately.

After a cloud of thick smoke, Tomoki and Astraea, their bodies charred black, lay on the ground.

Before Icarus could react, Nymph pointed directly at Astraea and said, "Yes, it's δ-gan."

Icarus's eyes instantly turned blood red, his wings spread rapidly, and a permanent homing missile was launched from his wings.

Jing Chen rubbed his forehead, closed the window, and a moment later, the ground trembled and a plume of smoke rose from outside the window.
