Chapter 522: What to Upgrade...
That day would be forever recorded in the annals of the Douluo Continent.
The Spirit Hall unifying the continent!
A change in the soul master cultivation system!
One shocking event followed another. But the most incredible thing wasn't merely those.
The entire world was stunned as they witnessed what it meant for many gods to ascend at once!
At the same moment, dozens of beams of light shot up from the Spirit Hall, piercing the heavens.
Everyone faintly understood that a flurry of new deities was being born—namely, those such as Bibi Dong, Lan Fozi, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and others whom Rei Ao had granted godhood.
"I…actually became a god…"
Even after feeling the divine force in his body and ascending to the God Realm, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked utterly disbelieving.
Di Tian and the others were similarly overjoyed—at last, the soul beasts' future was bright.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's wife followed him to the God Realm and was genuinely happy for her husband. But she still had something to tell him:
"All of this is thanks to our daughter…"
"…"
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King went still. Indeed, if Rei Ao hadn't shown interest in their daughter, he himself might not have had the chance to benefit.
"Where is our daughter?"
Di Tian likewise snapped back to reality.
"Where is our master?"
…
Within the divine palace Rei Ao had crafted for himself, he surveyed the utterly exhausted Bibi Dong and the others with a satisfied grin.
If he was going to create his own "godly harem," then why not go all-out?
Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Da Wu, Xiao Wu, A Yin, Bai Xiu Xiu, Lan Fozi, Gu Yuena, and Bibi Dong—none had been left out. But that still wasn't enough.
Because he now completely controlled the God Realm, Rei Ao could freely manipulate time within it. Essentially omniscient and omnipotent in the worlds under his rule, he could do nearly anything.
As a result, his targets needn't be limited to the Douluo Continent in its current era, or merely people like Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua from this period.
Future figures could also be his targets—like the grown-up Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, Shui Bing'er, and even, further down the line, the Ma Xiaotao and Meng Hongchen of the "Peerless" era.
Basically, anyone who ranked high enough would not escape his reach. He'd pull them straight into the God Realm, adding them to the sole god's harem. A few dozen members should suffice.
However, there was one target that surprised him: Qian Renxue—a woman who, by now, shouldn't exist.
He discovered in the River of Fate a figure "destined to become the Angel God," presumably Qian Renxue.
However, he had already killed Qian Xunji, so that possibility no longer existed in normal history.
Therefore, he'd simply created a new Angel God from that "inevitable destiny," who had no connection to Bibi Dong.
And sure enough, she could produce golden fluid—that was how special she was.
Of course, in addition to building his harem in the God Realm, Rei Ao hadn't forgotten one important matter:
He erased Tang Ritian and Yu Xiaogang directly from the continent's very origin. And that certain person from another timeline would never be able to transmigrate here.
In all the worlds under his dominion, any intruder—person or soul—would be unconditionally wiped out.
After that, he completely reshuffled the God Realm. The sealed Golden Dragon King's origin was extracted and handed to Gu Yuena; from now on, she would be the Dragon God. All the God-King seats naturally belonged to his people:
Ah Yin became the God-King of Life.
Snow Empress became the God-King of Asura.
Ice Empress became the God-King of Destruction.
Bibi Dong became the God-King of Evil.
Lan Fozi became the God-King of Kindness.
Other members of his harem received first-level god positions. He also discovered some happy news: now that he'd reshaped the god positions, they were no longer stuck at "trash-tier" levels but depended on his strength.
For instance, in the past, a God-King was only about level 50ish. But under his new system, each God-King reached level 55, a power capable of destroying stars.
Meanwhile, first-level gods were level 50, second-level gods were level 45, and third-level gods were level 40, with divine officials at level 35.
Essentially, this meant he could bring over people from his other worlds, directly grant them god positions, and thus create powerful experts.
And that bestowed power didn't conflict with his "Blessing" ability. It was indeed a wonderful thing.
He'd been worried that just farming XP wouldn't be enough to help Yukino and others rapidly grow stronger. But now the problem was perfectly solved. Yet that wasn't even the best news for Rei Ao.
What excited him most was that after becoming the "Unique God" of these worlds, his "Divine Soul" ability—requiring the souls of living beings—had become abundant.
Since these worlds had no cycle of reincarnation, life and death simply let souls dissolve into the world, returning to nature. Now, that returning power automatically became "souls of the living" for him, their One God.
"…Rei Ao, did something good happen? You're smiling so lecherously…"
Amid his harem members kneeling, the Ice Empress was the first to speak, seeing Rei Ao's pleased expression.
"Heh, something good, indeed."
He waved.
"Ju Zi, Meng Hongchen—c'mere and amuse me."
"…"
The two women exchanged glances.
"Yes, Master."
One approached on his right, untroubled; the other, cheeks flushed, edged closer on his left.
While enjoying himself, Rei Ao also pondered how to use Divine Soul. Which ability should he apply it to?
Divine Soul had the power to elevate and conceptualize any of his abilities. But he could only use it once, given the current total of living souls he possessed, so he had to carefully consider.
He immediately ruled out:
Freeze, Self, True Sight, Transformation, Blessing
They were his earliest chat-group-granted powers, "conceptual" enough already, in his view. Next, he ruled out:
Elven King, Cognitive Disappearance, Sword Aura Mastery, Genetic Code, Ten Incarnations, Storm Authority, Inherent Device: King of All Things
His reasons were straightforward: these abilities weren't strong enough to guarantee that conceptualizing them would yield something better. Then he excluded:
True Crimson Dragon God
It was already powerful enough. That left two final contenders:
1. "Demon King"
2. "Time & Causality Interference"
He had to pick one of these.
