Chapter 551 Still Needs Practice (Please Subscribe!!! 4,000 words)

"Is the divine position eternal, and unique in the universe?"

Xu Yuan squinted, staring at the little phoenix.

"Hmph, scared now?"

The little phoenix puffed out its chest, looking proud.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Yuan's words silenced the smug little phoenix.

"That's true, you're not a god, you don't understand the mechanism of divine positions."

The little phoenix gave Xu Yuan a disdainful look as it explained the situation.

"Divine positions are formed by relying on the divine realm. A divine position represents authority within the divine realm. Although one may also wield corresponding authority outside the divine realm, everything is still under the blessing of the divine realm. Just like you cultivators in these planes, the power of your cultivation system is the effect of the plane's blessing. Those who truly control the power at the level of laws will exert power far beyond that in the universe."

"Similarly, deities have greater control over their respective authority within their own divine realm. Note that I didn't mention combat power, only authority."

The little phoenix flapped its wings and continued, "In the God Realm, the same authority can only be condensed once. That is to say, the same divine position can only exist once in the same God Realm. For example, the Sea God can only have one corresponding divine position in the Douluo God Realm. The same applies to the Fire God, Water God, and so on."

"So, aren't the positions of these gods unique?" Yali questioned.

The little phoenix flapped its wings.

"Good question!"

She cleared her throat and continued, "A divine realm can only have one corresponding divine position, but what if there are multiple divine realms?"

Yali was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

Xu Yuan, however, remained calm throughout.

He was able to figure these things out on his own.

He prepared to continue listening to Little Phoenix's story.

What kind of state is the so-called eternal and unique?

"Therefore, although it appears to be the only one in the divine realm, it actually has corresponding authority in other divine realms as well, and there is competition between them."

"Hehe, in this situation, since they're not even within their respective divine realms, what do you think their relationship is?"

Xu Yuan did not answer after waiting for a long time.

Seeing that Xu Yuan wasn't cooperating, Little Phoenix was very disappointed and could only continue telling the story without any emotion.

"The competitive relationship is not only about mutual restraint in mobilizing corresponding powers, but even within the territory of the other god, powerful gods can use corresponding powers."

Xu Yuan understood.

In other words, when Tang San is in another realm of gods, he can still mobilize the authority of the Sea God.

Because the Sea God is too strong in the Douluo God Realm, he has reached the level of a quasi-God King, and may even be advancing towards the God King position now.

"So, what realm are you referring to as the eternal divine position and the uniqueness of the universe?"

"Hmph."

The little phoenix became smug again and said, "My divine position is not dependent on the divine realm."

Xu Yuan's pupils contracted.

He understood the other person's meaning with just one sentence.

"Being reliant on the divine realm means that the corresponding divine realm can only have one divine position with corresponding authority. However, my divine position is reliant on the entire universe, and the corresponding authority in the entire universe can only be condensed into one, and that authority is under my control!"

"When the realm of gods is destroyed, the divine positions will also crumble. However, the universe endures, so my divine position is eternal and indestructible; my divine position is unique in the universe!"

The little phoenix spread its two wings, facing the sky, looking spirited and generous.

Xu Yuan was genuinely surprised this time.

From Little Phoenix's words, he truly felt the difference between the Dragon God and ordinary God Kings.

The only one in the universe!

How many realms of gods are there in a universe?

I wouldn't dare say hundreds, but there are definitely double digits!

With so many divine realms and so many deities, the competition between them is unimaginable.

Each sea god probably wants to encompass all the heavens and worlds with their authority, spreading it throughout the entire universe and occupying this so-called eternal throne.

There are already so many competitive relationships, let alone reaching that level.

To gather the laws of the entire universe and to assemble one's own authority—what an enormous undertaking that would be.

Moreover, Xu Yuan suddenly noticed a key point.

"The divine position is eternal, therefore those of you who hold this divine position—"

The little phoenix said proudly, "Of course it's eternal."

Xu Yuan was deeply shocked.

If that's the case, then the Dragon God is...

"Hmph, the Dragon God never died from beginning to end; his consciousness has remained within the Dragon God's divine position the whole time," the little phoenix said, pursing her lips.

"He split himself, his body became the Golden Dragon King, and his spirit became the Silver Dragon King. In reality, his consciousness was not given to either of them. His consciousness as the Dragon God remained in the Dragon God's position. The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King are not so much parts of his body after it was split, but rather two offspring he created."

"By separating out the madness of consciousness and controlling the chaotic elements, that guy has probably been living quite comfortably all these years."

Xu Yuan's gaze was slightly dazed.

Living a comfortable life?

So, the dead dragon god seems to have been liberated?

"His own path to godhood is wrong. His consciousness is confused, and he is prone to madness. The stronger he becomes, the deeper the torment he suffers. How can he not be tired of living?" Little Phoenix revealed another secret.

"When the Golden Dragon King split off, his mad consciousness was also separated, giving birth to a monster without reason. As for the Silver Dragon King, because he inherited his spiritual power, he also had the ability to control the elements. Under the nurturing of the elements and that powerful spiritual power, a new spirituality was born."

They did not inherit everything from the Dragon God, so they have no memories of the Dragon God, only the experiences during and after the split.

"Is the path to godhood wrong?" Xu Yuan murmured.

Little Phoenix said earnestly, "He was too impatient. The process of condensing the Dragon God's position was too crude. He condensed the only Dragon God's position in the universe by brute force, but his own consciousness was also subjected to the crazy oppression of the universe's will, and the power of destruction invaded his consciousness."

"And what about you?" Xu Yuan looked at the little phoenix and asked in return, "Won't you face any consequences after you've solidified your unique Phoenix Godhood?"

The little phoenix was speechless.

"Don't ask. Even the supreme god-king has his own flaws. This is the result of the suppression by the will of the universe. No matter how well you are prepared, if you don't have this fatal flaw, the will of the universe will suppress you madly until you develop a flaw."

Xu Yuan gasped.

"From what you've said, it feels like this cosmic will has its own thoughts?"

"Do you know what a divine position is? Do you know what it means to wield authority?" the little phoenix asked.

Xu Yuan shook his head.

"The concentration of authority means control. Every god in a god realm, even if he is only a third-level god, has a certain degree of control over the god realm through his godhood. If all the third-level gods unite, their control over the god realm can even shake that of a first-level god. In a case like the Douluo God Realm, there are many third-level gods. If there is an array that can merge their powers, they can even rival the God King in terms of control over the god realm."

"To condense authority over the laws of the universe means to control the universe, and the instinctive backlash from the will of the universe will be extremely fierce."

"Only when there is a flaw, that is, when you do not have perfect control over the authority you have condensed, in other words, even if you have condensed the only eternal and indestructible divine position in the universe and condensed the corresponding authority, the ownership of this authority does not belong entirely to you alone."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath.

He really learned something new today.

Why are you explaining this to me so clearly?

The little phoenix scoffed.

"You're someone I trained, so why can't I explain higher-level secrets to you?"

Xu Yuan was speechless.

That seems to make sense.

Although this little phoenix did not appear on his path of growth, his cultivation did indeed benefit from the little phoenix.

Putting everything else aside, the transformation of Qi and Blood Martial Soul is something that Xu Yuan alone could not accomplish.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Back then, Xu Yuan knew nothing. Even with his exceptional research talent, it was impossible for him to complete the transformation of his Qi and Blood Martial Soul on his own in such a short time, let alone split his two Martial Souls.

Without Xu Zhi's groundwork, he would never have been able to accomplish this.

Xu Zhi's groundwork was also laid under the guidance of this little phoenix.

"I was killed by the Dragon God, but my divine position is eternal. My consciousness is integrated into the divine position and will never perish. There's nothing he can do about it."

"You want me to resurrect you?" Xu Yuan asked, puzzled.

"No, if I want to be resurrected, I can do it myself."

The little phoenix pointed to itself.

"Of course, I'm not in a good state right now. If I want to grow stronger again, I'll need to compete with other Phoenix Gods for the Dao."

"Oh?"

It was only then that Xu Yuan realized a problem.

"By the way, if there are eternal divine positions like yours, is it possible for divine positions like yours to be formed in other divine realms?"

"Of course, but our divine status is inherently one level higher than theirs, so we have absolute dominion. Even within their divine realm, my control over the corresponding authority surpasses theirs."

"That's how the Phoenix God of your Douluo God Realm is, and there are quite a few Phoenix-related deities in your Douluo God Realm."

The little phoenix showed a disdainful expression.

"That despicable Dragon God amassed more than a dozen phoenix-related divine positions in the Douluo God Realm, including the position of the Phoenix God, the Fire Phoenix God, the Ice Phoenix God, and other miscellaneous divine positions, dispersing the Phoenix's authority among these divine positions, and then—"

Little Phoenix didn't reveal anything further at this point.

Xu Yuan wanted to hear more from the little guy.

If we continue, it should be aimed at his key points.

"Of course, after the Dragon God died, the Douluo God Realm declined, and soul beasts could no longer become gods. Those phoenix god positions had long since declined and collapsed on their own, leaving only the Phoenix God position, a second-level god, which was still inherited by human soul masters."

Xu Yuan asked, "So what do you mean by 'seizing the Dao'?"

"Although I have been reborn, I will be attacked by many Phoenix Gods on my way to growth. My body needs to cultivate step by step. Only after reaching the corresponding level can it merge with my consciousness in the divine position again and then merge with the divine position. This process is very time-consuming. Phoenix Gods will attack me and take away my divine position."

Xu Yuan understood.

This guy can be resurrected whenever he wants, but if he wants to return to his peak, he has to risk fusing with a godhood, and that process is the riskiest.

This could lead to his complete downfall.

Where is the Dragon God?

They should also be facing the same dilemma.

"Even in death, the Dragon God couldn't find peace. He separated the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, just so that his resurrection would be easier in the future, right?"

Xu Yuan looked puzzled.

Didn't I say that the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings are just new lives?

"Do you think the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King are qualified to regain their dragon god forms?"

It has to be said that today was the day Xu Yuan's knowledge base was at its thinnest.

Xu Yuan, who was good at getting information, was now far behind in terms of intelligence.

He stared blankly at the little phoenix.

"The Golden Dragon King is a fool, lacking even a clear mind. He has no chance of devouring the Silver Dragon King. As for the Silver Dragon King, no matter how many schemes he devises, he cannot devour the Golden Dragon King. This is a contingency plan left by the Dragon God."

The little phoenix sees through everything.

"My body fell on Douluo Star, and I can sense everything on Douluo Star, so I can guess that guy's plans. However, I was killed by a Dragon God of the same level, so I didn't have as many backup plans as him and couldn't affect his plans until I saw you in the future."

Xu Yuan gasped again.

The Golden Dragon King is brainless and can't outmaneuver the Silver Dragon King, but the Dragon God has left a backup plan, so even if the Silver Dragon King's plan is meticulous, he can't possibly devour the Golden Dragon King.

"These two will be the bodyguards of the new Dragon God," the little phoenix said. "Two God-King level warriors will be responsible for protecting the new Dragon God as he grows up, until the opportunity arises, at which point the Dragon God will appear and hand everything over to the new Dragon God."

Xu Yuan was puzzled again.

"Is he still the new Dragon God?"

"Of course it is. The Dragon God's bloodline is his own, the Dragon God's heart is his, the divine position is his, and the new Dragon God who has merged with his consciousness, how can he not be him?" the little phoenix said.

is that so?

Xu Yuan was also uncertain for a moment.

Without his own influence, the new Little Dragon God seems to be the son of Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin.

"With the combined power of two God-Kings, plus the fact that the entire God Realm was originally his subordinates, his rebirth was only a matter of time."

Seeing Xu Yuan's puzzled expression, Little Phoenix simply explained directly.

"Of the five great god kings of the Douluo God Realm, at least three would not refuse his return and would be happy to help him."

"But that Tang San is really good at causing trouble. He inherited the position of the God of Asura, destroyed the God of Rakshasa, and led the deaths of the two God Kings of Destruction and Life, which left even the Dragon God dumbfounded."

Seemingly finding the scene hilarious, the little phoenix flapped its wings.

Her voice was beaming with joy; you could tell she was genuinely happy.

Soon, her expression turned cold.

"But that Tang San actually coveted my Phoenix God position."

Xu Yuan knew that "Little Phoenix" referred to Ma Hongjun inheriting the divine position of the Phoenix God.

"Boy, your growth is faster than I imagined, but it's still not fast enough. The leap from half-step God King to God King is even more exaggerated than you imagined. Moreover, the road to God King is far longer than before."

The little phoenix flew to Xu Yuan and spoke earnestly, its wings patting Xu Yuan's shoulder.

"You still have to work harder."
