Chapter 300: Chapter 300: The Emotion God, Rong Nianbing
The God-King of Kindness looked to Qing Xuan at his side. "Life, what is your opinion?"
"In my view, since Lin Feng possesses such formidable strength and methods, it is of course better to be on good terms with him than to be his enemy," Qing Xuan said slowly. "Since its establishment, the Divine Realm Committee has set the rules for the Divine Realm. This time, it was the Asura God who descended to the lower realm without authorization, triggering the conflict with Lin Feng. To a certain extent, it was the Asura God who broke the rules of the Divine Realm first. Moreover, Lin Feng did not actively provoke trouble; he was retaliating against the Asura God’s actions. If we blindly regard him as a threat and wish to erase him, I’m afraid it will provoke his resistance."
The God-King of Evil frowned slightly, interrupting Qing Xuan’s words. "Life, you seem to have a considerable good impression of Lin Feng, constantly speaking for him. You previously descended to the lower realm to investigate the traces left by gods in the mortal world. Did you have contact with him then?"
The moment the God-King of Evil said this, the God of Destruction abruptly looked up, his sharp gaze fixed on the God-King of Evil, as if some sensitive nerve had been touched. But he quickly lowered his head again and fell silent, only his tightly clenched hands revealing the turmoil in his heart. For some reason, ten thousand voices in his heart were telling him that the Goddess of Life’s strange behavior before was inextricably linked to this Lin Feng. It was even very likely that Lin Feng was the person Qing Xuan had changed her mind for and fallen in love with in the lower realm.
Qing Xuan’s voice sounded very frank. "Correct, I did indeed have contact with Lin Feng after I descended last time. His talent and potential shocked me. Based solely on the methods he created, he can be considered to have extraordinary creativity and a deep understanding of the laws. I have had a deep understanding of him. In the philosophy he holds, there is no idea that he must be an enemy of the Divine Realm; it is only that if anyone endangers the people and matters he values, he will surely protect them at all costs. I have already removed the barrier on the Douluo Star. You are free to check the changes in the lower realm for yourselves. His ascension to godhood is already a certainty. As for my personal wish, we must not make an enemy of him. If you choose to act against him, then forgive me for not being able to accompany you."
Hearing this, the God of Destruction’s fists clenched even tighter.
"Bastard! Little Green must have been deceived by this guy!"
"Methods he created?" The God-King of Evil frowned, not paying attention to Qing Xuan’s statement that she would not participate. Kindness and Life were the pacifist faction of the Divine Realm; it was normal for them not to like killing.
The Asura God spoke at this moment: "It’s the ’Innate Soul Evolution Art.’ It no longer requires hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings, but instead chooses to cultivate one’s own body, drawing the origin energy of heaven and earth, using the soul as a guide to nurture one’s own soul ring, and then transforming the soul ring into the body to become a soul vein. I just observed the Douluo Continent and found that Lin Feng has already perfected it. The soul masters of the Douluo Star can already skip the step of condensing a soul ring and directly condense a soul vein in their bodies. Tang San, as my previously chosen successor, also had two such soul veins. From the structure of these soul veins, they are indeed exquisitely miraculous, containing a profound power of the laws, as if a completely new path of cultivation has been opened. Such a creation, even our Divine Realm has never had." As the Asura God spoke, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. "A soul master who cultivates this method has combat power far beyond the past. But that Lin Feng’s strength is truly a bit unfathomable. The black and white power in his body makes me a little fearful. It seems to have fused multiple laws, yet it is a system unto itself."
"No need to hunt soul beasts? Do you know what you are saying?"
The God-King of Evil’s tone carried a hint of shock and anger. "If that is truly the case, it is simply a subversion of the traditional cultivation system of the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years! If this method really spreads widely, then soul beasts will no longer be a necessary resource for soul master cultivation, and the balance between humans and soul beasts will be completely broken. Once the soul beasts make a comeback in the lower realm, it will be difficult to handle!"
At this, he snorted coldly, took something out of the void, and with a burst of divine power, a screen of light instantly appeared before the five God-Kings. On the screen of light were scenes from the Douluo Star.
"Where is he?"
The Asura God thought for a moment. "Tang San once said he was the Holy Son of Spirit Hall. I suppose he should be in that human capital city, Spirit City."
A cold light flashed in the God-King of Evil’s eyes. Immediately after, the images on the screen of light changed rapidly, finally settling on a majestic high mountain in Spirit City. In the image, Lin Feng was meditating with his eyes closed, a faint black and white light surrounding his body.
"Hmph, that’s him." The God-King of Evil snorted coldly, his expression filled with malice. "A mere mortal from the lower realm dares to be so arrogant, even attempting to overthrow the traditional cultivation system of the Douluo Continent. If he is not stopped, I fear he will bring about a great catastrophe in the future."
The God-King of Kindness frowned, his gaze gentle yet firm as he looked at the God-King of Evil. "Evil, we cannot jump to conclusions based on speculation alone. Although Lin Feng has strength, he has not done anything to harm the Divine Realm. Moreover, the ’Innate Soul Evolution Art’ he created may really bring about a revolution for the Douluo Continent, which may not be a bad thing."
Hearing this, the God-King of Evil’s expression grew even darker. "A good thing? Don’t forget, the stability and order of the Douluo Continent are what our Divine Realm cares about most. Why did he create such a cultivation method? I now highly suspect that he is related to that escaped Silver Dragon. If not, how could such a cultivation method that benefits soul beasts appear, and how could he reach his current level of strength at such a young age?"
His expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Qing Xuan. "Life, how much have you really hidden?"
Qing Xuan sighed. "I’m sorry, he is my friend. Moreover, he once said that as long as he is not provoked, he will only deal with a few criminal gods and collect a karmic debt."
Hearing this, the God-King of Evil’s gaze grew even sharper. "Life, as a law enforcer of the Divine Realm, you are favoring a person from the lower realm due to personal feelings. Do you know that this violates the rules of the Divine Realm?"
Qing Xuan’s expression was calm, but her eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness. "Evil, I am not showing favoritism, just stating the facts. Lin Feng did not actively provoke trouble. Everything he did was for self-preservation and protection. Moreover, his existence may bring new possibilities to the Douluo Continent. Why must we blindly suppress him?"
The God-King of Kindness nodded lightly, his gaze sweeping over the gods. "Life speaks with reason. Although Lin Feng is strong, he has not shown any obvious malice towards the Divine Realm. Our Divine Realm Committee should uphold justice and not let personal feelings interfere with public duty. Evil, I understand your worries, but you cannot conclude that Lin Feng is a threat based on that alone."
"Criminal gods? What criminal gods?" The Asura God’s heart pounded.
Seeing the other four gods looking at him, Qing Xuan laughed. "Naturally, gods who are criminals." As she spoke, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally fell on the Asura God.
The Asura God’s heart froze. He felt Qing Xuan’s seemingly casual gaze, as if his thoughts had been seen through by her. He forced himself to remain calm, showing no emotion on the surface, but a storm was raging in his heart.
"What is the meaning of this?"
The God of Evil frowned. "Speak more clearly. If there is a deity who has violated the rules, to the point of being considered a criminal, he doesn’t need Lin Feng to act. I myself can annihilate him."
"Evil, be patient," the God-King of Kindness gently raised his hand, interrupting the God-King of Evil. "Life, since you have mentioned criminal gods, then speak in detail. Which deity in the Divine Realm has committed an unforgivable crime, to the point that Lin Feng is so insistent on collecting the karmic debt?"
Qing Xuan smiled faintly, her gaze deep. "This is a long story, but since you all wish to know, I will be brief. Back then, the Angel God was framed for certain reasons and ultimately fell. And behind this, several deities played a less than honorable role."
The Asura God’s heart shook. Not good, he thought. She really knows...
"As for who the mastermind is, I do not know. Lin Feng will come to settle the score himself."
The Asura God let out a long sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qing Xuan would sell him out directly. At that point, he would be truly passive in the Divine Realm Committee.
The God-King of Evil snorted coldly. "Even so, what right does a person from the lower realm have to collect the karmic debts of the Divine Realm? Hmph, how ridiculous."
"The current Angel God is his partner and has some memories from the time of her fall."
The God of Destruction’s eyes suddenly widened. He looked at Qing Xuan in disbelief. "Are you serious?"
Qing Xuan nodded.
"Fck." The God of Destruction truly had the heart to kill Lin Feng. He already has a beauty, yet he still deceived my Little Green. The key is, Little Green doesn’t seem to mind? What on earth happened during the time she was in the lower realm?!*
The anger and unwillingness in the God of Destruction’s heart surged like a volcano. He suppressed the fury in his heart, his eyes becoming abnormally cold, and secretly swore to find a chance to make Lin Feng pay the price.
The God-Kings of Kindness and Evil were speechless for a moment. "So his malice comes from this? If so, he must first join the Divine Realm before he can settle the score."
Qing Xuan smiled, noncommittal about the God of Evil’s words.
"I will personally make a trip to the lower realm."
The God of Evil pondered for a long time and finally said.
"That is not advisable."
The Asura God quickly said, "Lin Feng’s attitude towards the Divine Realm is still unclear. If you go rashly, I’m afraid it will intensify the conflict. When I came, I had already informed the Sea God. He is from the Douluo Continent. Let him help to contact Lin Feng. We might as well watch from here and plan for the long term."
Of course, planning for the long term was a lie. He had already made up his mind to first accumulate his strength. Once Lin Feng revealed something, he would have the Sea God strike, and then he would instantly go to the Douluo Star and cooperate with the Sea God to kill him. As he said this, he secretly observed Qing Xuan, afraid that she would stop him.
To his surprise, Qing Xuan showed no emotional fluctuation at all, and even drank a sip of the tea in front of her as if watching a play.
Seeing that Qing Xuan had no objection, the Asura God was slightly relieved, but then a trace of doubt arose. Qing Xuan’s calmness made him unable to fathom her. Did this Goddess of Life know that he was the mastermind who had murdered the first-generation Angel God? By not stopping the Sea God from going now, was she not afraid that he would find a chance to kill Lin Feng?
The God of Destruction’s teeth itched with hatred. Seeing the situation, he snorted coldly. "I hope he doesn’t have anything that threatens the Divine Realm. Otherwise, I will be the first to descend and deal with him."
?
The God of Destruction’s heart suddenly tightened. A wave of malice enveloped him, flashing past in an instant, but it was real.
He abruptly looked up, searching for the source of this malice.
His pupils suddenly shrank. He transmitted his voice, "Was that... you just now?"
Qing Xuan did not reply, but it was as if she had said everything.
Seeing this, the God of Destruction snorted coldly, his heart a little more bitter.
On the screen of light, Lin Feng was still meditating with his eyes closed. The black and white light surrounding his body seemed to have grown a little thicker.
He felt something and slowly opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed in them, as if piercing through the barrier of time and space, looking directly at the gods in the Divine Realm Committee.
The corners of his mouth opened and closed. There was no sound, but they could clearly discern what he was saying.
"I don’t like being watched. If you want to communicate, you can descend yourself. Asura, I am waiting for you."
After speaking, he slowly stood up. A divine light flashed in his eyes. Within his two eyes, it was as if the opportunity of chaos was contained, with what looked like yin-yang fish slowly rotating. From the center of his brow, a point of light appeared, transforming into a small imprint. The imprint looked like a pearl, and also like an eye. It floated slowly in front of his brow, moving with his will, sometimes disappearing under his skin, sometimes appearing to the outside world.
In the next instant, the imprint suddenly erupted with dazzling light, as if to pierce through the curtain of radiance and shoot straight into the Divine Realm Committee. The gods felt an inexplicable pressure sweep over them, and their hearts involuntarily skipped a beat.
The screen of light trembled violently. Under the shocked gazes of the four God-Kings, the screen of light collapsed!
The God-King of Evil let out a muffled grunt, his expression a little gloomy.
"It seems we have underestimated him before. His spiritual power... is very strong," the God-King of Evil said slowly.
Douluo Star.
Spirit City.
Lin Feng snorted coldly and clutched his slightly aching brow. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He looked in a certain direction. "Since you’ve come, then show yourself."
The wind was calm and the waves were still, but there was a subtle ripple in the space.
"Not coming out? Don’t make me have to invite you out. It won’t be pretty then," Lin Feng said faintly.
"Tsk."
Lin Feng frowned. He took a step forward, and his figure had already disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was at a spatial node ten thousand meters away.
The power of the five elemental laws flowed in his palm. A surging divine power condensed in his palm, forming a giant five-elemental hand that fiercely slapped towards a certain point hidden in the void.
"Holy sh*t."
A voice seemed to cry out in surprise from the darkness. Immediately after, a white figure was forced to appear from the void.
The newcomer was dressed in a gold-trimmed courtly long robe. His figure was abnormally slender, and his face was handsome. It was the Emotion God, Rong Nianbing.
He was a bit disheveled at the moment. The Morning Dew Knife and the True Sun Knife floated on either side of him. His eyes revealed a trace of astonishment.
"Ice and Fire Homology."
Flames and frost suddenly burst forth from Rong Nianbing’s hands, transforming into a fire dragon and an ice phoenix respectively. The two intertwined in the air, forming a splendid storm of ice and fire that met the five-elemental hand that Lin Feng had slapped towards him.
"Boom!"
Amidst a huge roar, the storm of ice and fire collided with the five-elemental hand. Divine power surged, and space seemed to be torn apart. However, Lin Feng’s five-elemental hand was not blocked but continued forward, pressing down on Rong Nianbing with an unstoppable force.
Rong Nianbing’s expression changed slightly. His figure retreated rapidly, and he waved his hands continuously. "Stop, stop, stop! I didn’t come here to fight! I hate fighting the most!"
