A gathering of great forces.
Before the genius war, the privileges of the Reincarnation Envoy revealed by Chen Ming directly set off an explosion on the continent.
For the chance to reincarnate and cultivate again, soul masters from all over the continent have signed up enthusiastically, hoping to stand out in the genius battle and be noticed by the Hall of Reincarnation.
Even if one's own qualifications are insufficient, one still hopes that one's efforts can be noticed, that one's individual talents can be useful to the Hall of Samsara, and that one can be reincarnated again and change one's qualifications.
According to the statistics of the Hall of Samsara, the number of students from Shrek Academy participating in the competition reached three digits.
There were even ministers who participated in it openly.
On the Sun-Moon Empire side, there were many ninth-level soul mentors participating, and the royal family also sent representatives to participate, but their identities were not made public.
In addition, the big players in the genius battle are the academies and sects. Just like participating in the Soul Master Competition in the past, they will form teams to participate in the battle.
Even though the Genius Battle is an individual competition, it is normal for so many people from an academy to form a group and come to Tiandou City to participate in the competition.
In this case, the academy can often help with all the tedious procedures such as registration, drawing lots, and studying the rules, and the participating soul masters only need to prepare well.
Similar to the academy are the sects. In fact, the soul masters in the sects are often more confident and feel that they have a chance to stand out in the genius battle.
The genius battle is divided into three groups. It can be seen that what the Samsara Palace needs to select is not the geniuses in the previous one-sided sense, but geniuses in all aspects, those who have not yet grown up, those who are growing, and those who are about to grow.
Among them, if you have some special talents, perhaps you will be noticed?
After all, they can all be reincarnated and cultivate again. Doesn't the Hall of Reincarnation look at pure martial spirit talent?
What surprised Chen Ming was that many of the contestants in this Soul Master Competition did not possess strong Soul Master abilities, but had a deep understanding of Martial Souls. They were all those who studied Martial Souls.
In fact, these people are indeed geniuses to a certain extent, but unfortunately, they are just so-called talented people who are not appreciated.
Most of the people who study this theory have the ability to practice cultivation, and often have a certain innate soul power, and have at least two opportunities to change their fate.
Either they had not yet started to engage in theoretical research at that time, or the theoretical research was just superficial and had no practical use at all.
Regardless, these people came to the Genius Battle with the opportunity to change their fate.
This genius battle also brought about changes in all walks of life. Many new soul guides appeared in Tiandou City. Many of them were soul guides who had previously researched independently in the Douluo Three Kingdoms area.
The civilian soul guides they researched were not valued in the past, but the domestic policies of the Samsara Empire in the past few months have given them hope, and they all came to this genius battle to promote their soul guides.
What's more, Chen Ming took a fancy to many soul guide inventions and directly bought the core magic arrays among them. He even gave these soul guides a position and let them specialize in soul guide research in related fields within the Samsara Empire.
In addition to the soul guides that he liked, he also included some soul guides whose works were useless but who were talented but lacked ideas.
On the third day after Chen Ming finished his training, the genius battle officially began.
In the great fighting arena of Tiandou City.
Chen Ming stood alone at the highest point, looking at the sea of soul masters below.
His eyes locked on several locations.
"It seems that this battle of geniuses will be the final battle for the unification of the continent."
It is estimated that all the top powers in the entire continent have gathered in Tiandou City.
"The teacher didn't come, so I asked him to stay in the back. Old Yi also left temporarily. This time I have to take action alone." Chen Ming thought to himself.
His heart was very calm.
"I hope that among so many extreme combat forces, at least a few will stand on my side."
If the whole world is an enemy, then.....
The only option is to kill them all.
"Um?"
Chen Ming raised his head and looked outside Tiandou City.
"Di Tian?"
What is he here for?
Instead of letting Di Tian enter the city, Chen Ming instantly moved outside the city and blocked Di Tian's way.
"It's you!"
When Di Tian saw Chen Ming, his eyes instantly focused.
"Oh? Do you remember?"
Di Tian took a deep breath.
"I only lost once, so of course I remember it clearly."
"Just tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me?"
Chen Ming went straight to the point and asked Di Tian why he came.
Di Tian didn't hesitate and said directly: "Our master wants to see you."
He did not explain who the master he was referring to was.
Because he knew Chen Ming knew.
"I'm not someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will. If you just come here to tell me to come over, then forget it." Chen Ming waved his right hand, and the space rolled up, directly making the Di Tian retreat far away.
Di Tian was shocked.
He had a deep understanding of the power of space, but was still separated by Chen Ming's pure power of space.
This person has cultivated the power of space more deeply in this life!
"The Lord said that this is because you have a need and my soul beast clan has what you need, not because you have what we need."
Chen Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
Does the soul beast clan have what I need?
"Okay, then I'll go to your Star Forest."
With that said, the two of them teleported away.
The Star Forest.
Lake of Life.
Deep in this picturesque lake, there was a huge ravine. Chen Ming took a look at the ravine and felt that he had used too much force at that time.
He dived to the bottom of the Lake of Life and entered a small, dilapidated space.
In this small world, the huge silver dragon disappeared, and was replaced by a stunning beauty with silver hair, purple eyes, and a cold temperament, as if she was above all living beings.
She looked over when Chen Ming arrived.
"You have the aura of the dragon clan." Gu Yuena said, "This aura is very pure. Have you been to the ancestral land of the dragon clan?"
"Ancestral land?" Chen Ming smiled and explained, "I don't know if it is the ancestral land, but it is now a cemetery where the remains of most types of true dragons are buried."
A wave emanated from Gu Yuena's body, causing the surrounding space to become turbulent.
The terrifying mental power seemed to be out of control and rushed in all directions.
Chen Ming frowned slightly and also released his mental power to block Gu Yuena's mental power that was rushing towards him.
"You are in much better condition than I expected."
Gu Yuena's situation is much better than Chen Ming thought.
What kind of opportunity is this?
"Thanks to the two gods you attracted." Gu Yuena said.
"The gods I attracted?"
"As for the auspicious beast, although I don't know the whole story, since you have been tied to it for a long time and gave that hint, and then the same scene as your hint appeared, then I think it's okay that you attracted the Sea God's consciousness, right?"
Chen Ming was speechless.
This was originally Tang San's plan.
"So, how did you deal with it in the end?"
"I dispersed and devoured the consciousness of the Sea God, as well as his daughter's soul." Gu Yuena looked into the depths of the small world.
The auspicious beast is sleeping there.
Chen Ming also followed her gaze towards the auspicious beast, watching her breath fluctuate and the golden and silver shadows alternating in the sky above her.
"Is this a lucky beast?"
How did the auspicious beast become like this?
The auspicious beast at this moment is no longer the same as before. Her body has become huge, and she is no longer as delicate as a lion. Instead, she has become wild, exuding a crazy aura. The surrounding elements gather and explode, giving people a sense of instability, as if she could explode at any time.
"I passed my bloodline to her." Gu Yuena said.
Chen Ming knew what was going on just by listening to Gu Yuena's words.
Gu Yuena is not stupid. She knows that the inheritance of the Dragon God is not something she can obtain alone. She must gather both bloodlines to truly inherit everything from the Dragon God.
"It shouldn't just be your blood, right?"
Gu Yuena was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems that you know a lot about the Dragon Clan. Did you learn about it from the cemetery you mentioned? Or did you see him in the God Realm in your previous life?"
Chen Ming said: "All of them."
"The Dragon God split into two, turning into the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings. A rib on each side turned into a spear. The half that belonged to me turned into the Silver Dragon Spear, and the half that belonged to the Gold Dragon King turned into the Gold Dragon Spear, which is under the control of both of us."
Gu Yuena said: "The Sea God's consciousness came with the Gold Dragon Spear. He bound the Gold Dragon Spear to a wisp of his daughter's soul, preparing to use it to seize the auspicious beast. I devoured his consciousness, and my mental strength recovered a lot. In addition to passing on my bloodline to the auspicious beast, I also stimulated the Gold Dragon King's bloodline in the Gold Dragon Spear and integrated it into her body. It can be said that the auspicious beast now has the bloodline of both the Gold Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King."
Chen Ming's gaze was still on the auspicious beast.
"Good idea. This auspicious beast carries the luck of the soul beast clan and is a person of great luck. The possibility that she can withstand the impact of two bloodlines is even stronger than you."
Gu Yuena frowned and remained silent when she heard Chen Ming say this.
How is that possible?
It's just that the Golden Dragon King's bloodline in the Golden Dragon Spear is too weak and has no effect on her at all, so she chose the auspicious beast.
Chen Ming shook his head and didn't explain to her.
This kind of thing is not wishful thinking. The fusion of the gold and silver dragon king's bloodlines requires the nod from the one above, that is, the Dragon God.
The Dragon God just died, he is not really dead.
Unfortunately, Gu Yuena will never know this.
Although the end of various legends is the version of the Silver Dragon King, when the Dragon God died and split into two, she and the Golden Dragon King inherited everything from the Dragon God.
But in fact, they did not inherit the memory of the Dragon God, and the two consciousnesses were completely new.
Oh, the Golden Dragon King is like a savage dragon, dominated by a crazy will of destruction. Perhaps Gu Yuena is conscious, and her consciousness is just a new body, and only some fragments are inherited through blood. Moreover, the two dragon kings divided the power of the Dragon God into two, but the Dragon God still left the Dragon God Core.
The auspicious beast that Chen Ming mentioned has a better chance than Gu Yuena because the auspicious beast is the carrier of the soul beast clan's luck. She represents the rise and fall of the soul beast clan. If she dies, the karma that the Dragon God owes to the soul beast clan will be even greater.
"Tell me, what is the matter that you called me here for this time?"
Chen Ming corrected the topic and asked Gu Yuena to talk about the main matter.
"Did you know that not long ago, the divine consciousness of a god from the divine realm swept across the continent?" Gu Yuena asked.
Chen Ming's eyes flickered and he nodded.
Of course he knows.
He just didn't know the details.
"There have been many changes on the continent recently. The disturbance you stirred up was too big, but the God Realm has been slow to take action. I was also confused at first, but it was also at that time that I learned that a fog of time power appeared between the God Realm and Douluo Star, almost severing the connection between the two."
"A dispute has arisen between the God of Destruction and the God of Shura in the God Realm, the center of the God Realm."
Chen Ming was surprised as he listened to Gu Yuena's narration.
This is something he doesn't know.
"That's what happened. I devoured part of the God of Damage's consciousness and learned about this. According to what he learned from the God of Emotions, the God of Destruction and the God of Shura are no longer hostile to each other because their essential contradictions have been reconciled."
Chen Ming's expression became heavy.
He knew that Rong Nianbing's perspective on the issue was correct.
The dispute between the God of Destruction and Tang San has always been about improving the God Realm. The God of Destruction wants to create new strong men, transform the foundation of the God Realm into strength, and expand the God Realm at the same time. Tang San claims that there will be disasters in the future of the God Realm, and the foundation should be retained to deal with the disasters.
Although Tang San himself was talking nonsense, after all, if there were dangers in the future, he should improve the strength of the God Realm to deal with the dangers, rather than being a miser and having money but no place to spend it, and having resources but no time to use them.
Now, according to what Gu Yuena learned from the memories of the God of Damage, Rong Nianbing and Zhou Weiqing jointly control the God Realm Center, and it is hoped that they can use the God Realm Center and the foundation of the God Realm to elevate their god positions and advance their god positions to the God King level.
This is equivalent to Tang San compromising, and the fundamental conflict between the two people is gone.
Chen Ming curled his lips.
This conflict between Tang San and others shouldn't have happened in the first place. He just took a step back and suffered no loss.
It looked as if he had suffered some injustice.
These foundations of the divine world have been accumulated, and those gods who are waiting to be promoted have been delayed, and he feels aggrieved.
"The current situation is that the three great God Kings and two Quasi-God Kings have joined forces and are preparing to quickly sort out the power of time. It won't be long before they can re-establish contact with Douluo Star."
Chen Ming looked at Gu Yuena.
"What do you mean? You devoured the consciousness of the Sea God and the God of Destruction. They will never give up. And the reason you were able to be safe in the lower world before was because you were seriously injured and could not have any impact on the mainland."
"Compared to me, you are more dangerous." Gu Yuena sneered: "The purpose of their concerted efforts is to get rid of you."
"Deal with me?"
"You recklessly reincarnated in the lower realm and teased the God of Destruction, which naturally angered him. It would have been fine if you had reincarnated on your own, but you held a genius competition and even wanted to help ordinary people reincarnate? You are challenging the rules."
Chen Ming didn't feel anything.
Is he challenging the rules?
He was clearly just establishing new rules.
Reincarnation, reincarnation, what is reincarnation?
Is it just to inherit a name, use reincarnation as the name, and then consolidate the position of God?
Don't we really need to do something?
If you don't establish a true reincarnation system of your own, can you be considered the God of Reincarnation?
