In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 10, Section 9: The Divine Test

In a daze, Yinlan felt as if her soul had left her body, as if she had learned to fly, being pulled by some force, or lifted up by something, and soaring into the vast sky.

The feeling wasn't unpleasant; on the contrary, it made one feel genuinely comfortable. In her hazy state of consciousness, Yinlan found herself actually on a land that resembled a "sea of ​​clouds."

Curious, she crouched down and poked the ground with her finger. The white cloud unexpectedly had a subtle elasticity, but this elasticity did not prevent her from walking steadily on it.

If all land were like this, then she wouldn't have to worry about being plagued by her "easy-to-fall-on-flats" constitution, constantly getting nosebleeds from falls...

Her thoughts inexplicably began to wander, and the first thing that came to her mind was this strange idea.

"...Did we call her up too early?"

Not far in front of Yinlan, a figure shrouded in a black coat with a wide hood obscuring his face uttered a subtle sigh.

The God of Destruction stared blankly at the little girl whom both he and his wife had approved of. He didn't forcefully try to read Yinlan's spiritual sea to see her intentions, but what Yinlan was thinking was practically written all over her face...

"...Is this kid a bit airheaded?" After a long while, the God of Destruction made a rare comment.

"She's just a child after all," sighed the gentle woman in the green dress standing beside him. "And she's just lost a loved one. Now is the time for us to step in."

The God of Destruction nodded, but his mind couldn't help but wander to another matter.

As everyone knows, in the realm of gods, although the God of Destruction is not a god of law enforcement, he is the most upright and incorruptible. Unless it is something truly important, he will never take the initiative to break the laws of the realm of gods or do anything excessive.

The couple's idea of ​​passing on two divine positions to one person at the same time was good, but such a thing had never happened since the birth of the divine realm.

However, there are no explicit laws in the divine realm that prohibit this practice.

As two of the five God-King level powerhouses who compiled the laws of the divine realm, the couple were well aware that their current actions were tantamount to exploiting a loophole in the law.

The Goddess of Life didn't feel much about it. She did have a part in compiling the laws, but there was no law that said two divine positions couldn't be passed on to one person. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, the God of Destruction, who was always upright and incorruptible, felt somewhat guilty, because in his understanding, their actions might have gone a bit too far, and he felt somewhat sorry for his colleagues.

But looking at his wife who had already made up her mind, and thinking about the children he might have in the future, the God of Destruction coughed twice to draw Yinlan's attention, and at the same time made up his mind.

Sorry is sorry. Anyway, I'm the only one who's really been doing anything all these years. Those guys have all started to give up. Apart from the evil god's lineage, no one is following me to build a business. Now my wife and I want to take a break. I don't believe anyone would dare to stop us!

Thinking about it this way, the God of Destruction felt much less guilty.

As mentioned before, what he didn't know was that, according to the normal course of history, in the future, there would be a Tang Buddha who simultaneously inherited the positions of the Sea God and the Asura God, ascending to the divine realm and becoming his colleague. Moreover, as the God of Law Enforcement, he repeatedly broke the law knowingly, disregarding the laws of the divine realm, and was still on his way to oppose him, galloping thousands of miles away...

"Where is this place?" Yinlan had already recognized the couple not far away, and their appearance matched the description in her memory, but she was still a little unsure whether the two of them really had their eye on her, so she still had to ask.

During her confrontation with Liu Erlong, the "three" notifications that occurred to her made her realize the "essence" of her "self-soul fusion skill".

In the Douluo Universe, the perfect fusion of the "life" and "destruction" attributes gives birth to the "power of creation." The three consecutive prompts to myself could only be the work of these two, because it is already the power of the divine realm, and the weak soul power cannot fully construct it.

"This is the edge of the divine realm, child. We are all the gods of the divine realm in your legends," the Goddess of Life said with a gentle smile that made people feel close to her. "I am the Goddess of Life, and this man beside me is my husband, the God of Destruction. You can call me Aunt Green."

"Aunt Green." Yinlan responded obediently, then looked at the God of Destruction.

"Just call me Uncle Zi," the taciturn God of Destruction quickly added, trying to smooth things over with his wife. "Child, we've recognized your talent and believe you can be our successor to our divine positions. What do you say?"

Fearing that young Yinlan might not understand the concept of gods, the Goddess of Life thoughtfully gave Yinlan a general explanation of its significance.

Although the couple desperately wanted to pass on their divine status and were in a hurry, they couldn't bring themselves to force it onto someone else. For some, becoming a god wasn't a good thing. Many people, after ascending to the divine realm, would have their edges smoothed out by the environment and begin to stagnate...

If the child is unwilling to carry on the family line, then the couple can only lament their bad luck and accept their fate. The God of Destruction can then give up completely and go back to his work.

"I'm willing," Yinlan agreed without any hesitation. "If I become a god like Uncle Zi and Aunt Lü, I'll be able to see everyone again..."

"...Of course!" The Goddess of Life and her husband exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, and nodded repeatedly.

"However, child, you must be prepared. The path to godhood is not like the cultivation of ordinary people in the mortal realm. You will need to undergo numerous difficult trials to prove that you are capable of shouldering the divine positions of my husband and me," the God of Destruction said solemnly. "If you fail the trials, you may very well lose your life!"

"I'm not afraid," Yinlan said, her eyes lowered. "The most difficult hurdle is over."

The latest novel is first published here!

Yes, Liu Erlong's sudden attack without warning was indeed a variable. She didn't know whether this variable was a butterfly effect caused by her arrival or something that happened but was not written about in the original work and was just mentioned in passing. But the most difficult part was over. She was born on the same day as Tang San, which meant that she could accurately judge how far the plot had progressed.

"Very good, commendable courage. Well then, child," the God of Destruction waved his hand forward, and a small, purple, scepter-shaped mark was immediately imprinted on Yinlan's brow. "The God of Destruction's First Test: Comprehend the Power of Destruction!"

"Don't scare the child like that," the Goddess of Life rolled her eyes at her husband. Her words were so terrifying, yet they only made the divine test easier for the child. Then, she too reached out towards Yinlan. The purple scepter mark on Yinlan's forehead slowly faded, replaced by a green, lush ancient tree-like mark: "God of Life's First Test: Complete the God of Destruction's First Test!"

Both the God of Destruction and Yinlan's eyelids twitched.

The protagonist's cheat code has officially arrived. Consider this my fan fiction. I've set up a couple whose desire for children outweighs their desire for their careers. After all, in the original setting, these two started working hard from the moment they were born in the God Realm. It's not unreasonable for them to think about themselves after all these years.

Well, I just want to clear my mind and write freely, so I won't do anything fancy.

After all, the plot of Douluo Continent IV has fully acknowledged one thing: becoming a true god is really not about your talent or how hard you work. It's purely about whether a god takes notice of you, is willing to guide you, and gives you their inheritance. Note that this refers to becoming a true god, not those god-level combatants.

In addition, although the protagonist's creation power might seem like a huge cheat, it is actually still within the logic of Douluo Continent. This is because divine power is not much different from soul power. Tang Xuan Yu became the Dragon God at level 70, so he probably used divine power at that time (I haven't finished reading Douluo Continent IV yet). Furthermore, Tang Wu Tong also used divine power before she descended to the mortal realm at the age of six. Judging from the performance of the God Realm Legend, it is probably only of slightly higher quality than soul power.

But you might not think it's anything special, right? This thing can also be used to create soul rings for mortals, give them buffs, enhance their physical attributes, repair their hidden injuries, and restore their mana and health.

So whether this thing is special or not depends entirely on where the author wants it to be; it's a matter of opinion.
