Douluo Continent: All the identities I've played have become gods.

Chapter 80 The Method of Obtaining Godhood

"And what is the second method of achieving godhood that you know of?"

After listening to the most orthodox method of soul beast cultivation, Di Tian became interested in another type of soul beast godhood that Su Ming mentioned, which shared commonalities.

The Azure Bull Python standing to the side was also very curious, but it didn't say anything and just watched silently, waiting for Su Ming's answer.

Although Su Ming praised the method of becoming a god through soul imprinting as the most orthodox path, the difficulty involved is extremely challenging just by hearing about it.

Even if the method were given to him, the Azure Bull Python did not believe he could learn and master it.

Seeing that Di Tian and the Azure Bull Python's appetites had been completely whetted, Su Ming didn't keep them in suspense and started talking directly.

"As for the second method of soul beasts becoming gods that I know of, it is called the 'method of becoming gods by seeking a title'."

After clearing his throat, Su Ming began to explain the method of becoming a god in detail: "Similar to the method of becoming a god through the Soul Seal, both are methods of transcending oneself and improving external factors to nourish oneself. It's quite interesting, actually, this Sealing Method wasn't created by a soul beast."

"However, unlike the method of becoming a god through Soul Imprint, the Soul Imprint method relies purely on the soul beast itself, while the Sealing Method relies on human soul masters."

"It requires the power of human soul masters? It wasn't created by the soul beast race!" Di Tian was slightly surprised by Su Ming's introduction.

However, he didn't say anything more without asking, but listened patiently out of curiosity.

"It is said that the Sealing Technique was created by a human Soul Master who became a god, in order to help his Soul Beast companion, with whom he had shared life and death, become a god."

"Although I don't know the exact method for obtaining this title, I do know a little about the process."

Amidst the anticipation of Emperor Tian and the Ming Dynasty, Su Ming revealed the miraculous method of obtaining a title.

"By using the sealing method and paying a certain price, soul beasts can establish a connection with human soul masters. A portion of the soul power cultivated by the soul master will be fed back to the soul beast that has established the connection, and the soul beast can gradually transform this power into its own."

"If the object of your request is a deity, then you don't need to go through any so-called ascetic practices; you can achieve it directly in one step."

At this point, Su Ming's words were full of allure.

"No, if it were really that easy and simple, then would there still be any need for the so-called method of achieving godhood through soul imprinting?"

Di Tian was not tempted by this so-called shortcut. In his view, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

What a stroke of good fortune! A soul beast that had virtually no hope of becoming a god could easily become one.

At this moment, Da Ming shared the same thought as Di Tian: they both believed that this so-called method of seeking titles or punishments was either subject to restrictions or came with an even greater price to pay.

Sure enough, the next moment they heard about the so-called drawbacks from Su Ming.

"To successfully claim a title, the other party's consent is required to proceed. Moreover, after the title is claimed, the soul beast's fate becomes essentially bound to the soul master's, leading to numerous subsequent consequences. For example, in a sense, the soul master is the master, and the soul beast is the servant."

For example, if a Soul Master is in trouble, the Soul Beast will also perish. However, if a Soul Beast has an accident, the Soul Master won't suffer any backlash. After all, you're absorbing the other's cultivation, which would slow down their cultivation speed.

"For various reasons, there are almost no examples of people becoming gods through the Sealing Method on the Sun and Moon Continent. Those Soul Masters who have a chance of becoming gods will not associate with a Soul Beast and hinder their own cultivation progress. And most Soul Beasts with strong aptitude are proud and will never have another master, nor will they put their lives in the hands of others. They would rather try other methods to become gods."

Ultimately, this method was created as a shortcut by that god for his companions. It can only be considered an extreme case.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ming changed the subject and revealed another bombshell.

"Later, a great wisdom emerged among the soul beasts, who actually created a wicked version of the sealing method based on this sealing method. Soul beasts that master this method can forcibly seal human soul masters. And in order to increase the success rate, they often target those soul masters who are weak and easy to attack."

If a Soul Master's mind is bewitched and they answer as if they were a god, their own fortune and cultivation will be drained. If the Soul Master is not strong enough or cannot find a way to resist, they will ultimately die a violent death. Then the Soul Beast will choose the next target to be sealed. Soul Beasts that master this method are collectively called Evil Soul Beasts.

Di Tian immediately thought of the serious consequences this method would bring and asked with concern, "This method is so evil that if it is not handled properly, it will cause turmoil throughout the entire continent."

It wasn't that Di Tian cared so much about humans, but rather that he was worried about the plight of the soul beasts.

If humanity knew of this method, they would surely spare no effort to burn it to ashes.

At that time, ordinary spirit beasts would suffer as well.

What Su Ming said next perfectly confirmed Di Tian's idea.

"You're right. The fox demon clan that created this method was later wiped out, disappearing into the annals of history along with the method itself. I've heard that many other spirit beast races were caught in the crossfire because of this."

Human soul masters of that era all operated with the attitude of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

After all, once this method spreads, it will essentially be aimed at the future of the human world, so we must strike hard.

Later, even the authentic method of sealing away evil spirit beasts became unapproachable, for fear of being targeted and killed by human spirit masters as if they were evil spirit beasts.

Su Ming sighed with emotion.

"May I ask if you could tell me how to find the method to become a god through the Soul Imprint? I will be eternally grateful," Di Tian asked Su Ming respectfully.

Well, after listening to Su Ming's introduction to these two methods...

Di Tian directly gave up on finding the method to obtain the seal, which was a hot potato.

Although the method of becoming a god through soul imprinting is extremely difficult, it is still a hope for becoming a god.

Even if the hope is slim, we must hold on to it.

After saying this, to show his sincerity, Di Tian tossed a special treasure to Su Ming.

One of them was a dragon scale, and it was even the legendary reverse scale.

The reverse scale is black, with mysterious patterns on its surface;

These patterns shimmered with a faint golden light, echoing Di Tian's golden eyes and highlighting their extraordinary origins and powerful strength.

"This is my reverse scale, a scale that fell off when I underwent the tribulation of heaven and transformed. If the wearer encounters a life-threatening situation, the reverse scale will immediately issue a warning. I can then instantly sense it and arrive at the scene to provide assistance. In addition, the power inherent in the reverse scale can help you resist many crises."

"Or, if you need my help for something important, you can contact me through Ni Lin. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I'm willing to help."

Seeing Su Ming accept the reverse scale, Di Tian explained its uses to him.

Unlike the one given to Huo Yuhao during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era, this one has more functions and uses.

This clearly shows how important Su Ming is to him at this moment.

The latest novel is first published here!

As long as it's reasonable, there's absolutely no problem with him acting as a henchman.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

After verifying that the function of the reverse scale matched what Di Tian had said and that there were no hidden tricks, Su Ming put it into his sleeve.

Di Tian's strength is still quite impressive.

In the Douluo Continent universe, they are at the very top, unless it involves the power of true gods.

Calling out Di Tian as a henchman at crucial moments can save you willpower.

Seeing Su Ming accept his rebellious stance, Di Tian revealed a satisfied smile.

Since the other party chose to accept it, it means that he must have some clues to have the confidence to accept it.

The appearance of the Primordial Spirit Beast and Su Ming undoubtedly brought him a huge shock.

Tempted by this method to become a god, what does it matter if one's injuries are not yet healed and one needs to continue sleeping to recuperate?

We must do everything in our power to find this so-called method to become a god!

This was one of his lifelong wishes!

"No matter how you put it, this is still the method for soul beasts to become gods. Apart from those forces that study this aspect, most people just need to hear the general idea and have a certain understanding. Our Sanyi Sect is the same. Soul beasts don't have sects, academies, or other places of inheritance. These methods of becoming gods are mostly passed down through bloodlines and are rarely leaked out."

"However, there happens to be a record in the sect's records of a soul beast that became a god through the method of soul imprint. The reason for the record is that the soul beast was a good friend of the then sect leader, Sanyi."

"That soul beast is named Lei Yi. Legend has it that it was formed from the essence of thunder and lightning in heaven and earth, and it looks like a human. It has a very good personality; it is kind and generous."

The Herka alternate dimension that the other party protected before becoming a god is still a place of peace and prosperity for both humans and soul beasts.

Perhaps you can find the answer you're looking for in the Herka alternate dimension.

As he said this, Su Ming's tone was full of certainty.

It seemed that as long as Di Tian went there, he could find the method to become a god through the Soul Imprint.

"This is a map to Herka. Only by strictly following the map can we find the real Herka. The alternate dimensions on the Sun and Moon Continent are extremely well-hidden; outsiders simply cannot enter without assistance."

Su Ming took out a scroll made of special leather and handed it to the other party.

In his setting, opening the gate to the Herka Space requires specific time and specific conditions.

So there's nothing to worry about at this stage.

When we have enough willpower in the future, we can build Herka and then harvest that willpower.

Herka's future plans don't just involve reaping soul beasts like Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King; Tang San and his companions also need to plan carefully.

Here's a brief summary of November: I wrote 114,000 words in the 30 days of last month.

If we consider the minimum update of 4,000 words, then there are indeed 6,000 words missing. I also failed to deliver on my promise to add more chapters, and I apologize to everyone.

All I can say is, let's maintain a minimum update of 4,000 words for now. We'll talk about making up for missed updates later.
