Without the interference of the Demon Empress and her daughter, Zhu Ziyang and his group smoothly completed the task of cleaning up the battlefield.
Sixteen Demon Whales, with lifespans exceeding 500,000 years, were all converted and absorbed by Zhu Ziyang. After obtaining the scythe of the dead, Zhu Ziyang's use of the Power of Death could already be called instinctive, and the conversion between vitality and spirit ring age limit had reached a perfect ratio of nearly one to one.
Therefore, the spirit ring configuration of the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe had now reached nine red spirit rings, a terrifying configuration that was only rumored to exist.
Zhu Ziyang was very happy; although these artificially enhanced 100,000-year spirit rings could not provide a second Spirit Ability, the Spirit Abilities they inherently possessed were undoubtedly elevated to the level they should be at for 100,000-year Spirit Abilities, which was already very satisfying to Zhu Ziyang.
In addition to Zhu Ziyang's spirit ring age limits, they also obtained nine Spirit Bones as spoils of war, five of which naturally came from the five 100,000-year Demon Whales, and the other four were produced by those 10,000-year Demon Whales.
"Alas! What a pity, these five 100,000-year spirit rings are wasted!" Zhang Lexuan looked at the five 100,000-year spirit rings floating on the sea and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not entirely a waste, after all, they will also give back to the World!" Zhu Ziyang heard this and, for some reason, thought of the World Will, then said with a smile.
"That's true, but seeing these unclaimed 100,000-year spirit rings dissipate like this, I still feel a little reluctant." Zhang Lexuan said, "Fortunately, the Spirit Bones won't disappear, and these whale gels can also be taken away, not bad!"
"Hmm! Among the nine Spirit Bones, the five 100,000-year Spirit Bones are just one head bone short of a complete Spirit Bone set." Zhu Ziyang examined the Demon Whale Spirit Bones and said, "Among the remaining four 10,000-year Spirit Bones, there are actually two head bones, what a coincidence!"
"Brother, Sister Lexuan, you've worked hard!" Jiang Nannan and Qian Lingyi arrived under the protection of the Silver Moon Spirit Fish King, and Jiang Nannan smiled gently.
"Haha, it's alright." Zhu Ziyang smiled, then looked at Zhang Lexuan and said, "Sister Lexuan, quickly check if your assessment is complete?"
"Okay!" Zhang Lexuan nodded, then proceeded to check the content of her Red-rank Seventh Examination.
"Hey! Shuiyue, shouldn't you fulfill your promise now!" Jiang Nannan heard this and also looked at the Silver Moon Spirit Fish King, saying.
"Respected Divine Emissary, please allow me to return to my clan to arrange subsequent matters, and then I will sacrifice myself to you!" The Silver Moon Spirit Fish King heard Jiang Nannan's words, without any intention of shirking or backing out, but instead spoke with a pleading tone.
"No problem." Jiang Nannan nodded and agreed, "You don't need to sacrifice. Do you see the little person on Brother's shoulder? That's a Soul Spirit. You just need to become my Soul Spirit!"
"Soul Spirit?" The Silver Moon Spirit Fish King showed a puzzled expression, but no one paid attention to her expression, because Zhang Lexuan's check already had a result.
The Red-rank Seventh Examination was completed, rewarding one level of spirit power and a one-thousand-year increase to all spirit ring age limits. Her spirit power increased again, reaching level 94. Her spirit rings remained unchanged, still two purple, five black, and two red, but she was already very satisfied, as such a spirit ring configuration was already astonishing.
After Zhang Lexuan finished absorbing the assessment rewards, Zhu Ziyang said, "Alright, let's prepare to go back. Silver Moon Spirit Fish King, the bodies of these Demon Whales are left for your clansmen. With this Demon Whale flesh and blood, your clansmen should be able to get a great improvement!"
"Really? You are too great! Praise your generosity!" The Silver Moon Spirit Fish King heard Zhu Ziyang's words and immediately became overwhelmingly excited, only able to lower her head and assume a bowing posture, saying.
"Heh!" Zhu Ziyang chuckled lightly, took the three girls back onto the Moon God Shuttle, and then headed towards the territory of the Silver Moon Spirit Fish clan.
The Silver Moon Spirit Fish King naturally also swam very quickly towards her territory. She needed to return to her territory quickly and then have her clansmen quickly move these Demon Whale bodies back. If too much time was delayed, these energy-rich Demon Whale flesh and blood would probably attract other Spirit Beasts in the sea, such as the keen-scented shark Spirit Beasts.
On the Moon God Shuttle, after Zhu Ziyang said goodbye to the three girls, he immediately entered the God Position inheritance ground. Those two Divinities were still waiting for him to decipher.
As soon as he entered the God Position inheritance ground, Zhu Ziyang saw the Angel God Divinity and the Rakshasa God Divinity floating at the top of the Path to Godhood. A grayish-white airflow enveloped them, as if examining or repairing them. Upon sensing Zhu Ziyang's entry, the grayish-white airflow circled once and then suddenly drilled into the temple.
"Xiao Bai!" Zhu Ziyang didn't notice this scene. He stood on the steps of the Path to Godhood and called out.
"Don't shout, I know why you're here!" Xiao Bai's voice appeared, answering.
"You know why I'm here? Then tell me, what is my intention?" Zhu Ziyang heard this and couldn't help but laugh.
"You must be here to ask me if these two Divinities can form a God Position inheritance, right?" Xiao Bai said.
"Then answer me, can they?" Zhu Ziyang's smile did not diminish, with a hint of expectation, he said.
"This question is not good, because there is no essential difference between Divinity and God Position. It's just that a God Position is a method of inheritance left by a Divinity while alive or before death, while a Divinity is the result of a Divinity's sudden death without leaving an inheritance." Xiao Bai said, "You should ask how to activate a Divinity's inheritance from a Divinity."
"Uh!" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "So?"
"So, my answer is, you can directly give the Angel God Divinity to that girl named Qian Lingyi. Her bloodline and abilities are highly similar to the Angel God, with a ninety percent chance of activating the God Position assessment." Xiao Bai said.
Xiao Bai's words hit Zhu Ziyang's intentions perfectly. In his opinion, the Angel God Divinity was also most suitable for Qian Lingyi. As a descendant of the Qian family, no one was more suitable to inherit the Angel God God Position than she was.
"As for the Rakshasa God, to be honest, it is too severely damaged. I do not recommend you find an inheritor for it." Xiao Bai spoke of the Rakshasa God God Position with a sigh in her tone, saying, "Alas! I can feel Xiao Cai and Xiao Hong's helplessness from it, and I understand their intention to abandon their God Positions simultaneously ten thousand years ago."
"Xiao Cai? Xiao Hong?" Zhu Ziyang looked bewildered.
"Ah! They are the first generation Asura God and the first generation Rakshasa God. Xiao Hong and Xiao Cai are their respective nicknames." Xiao Bai explained.
"Just like your Xiao Bai?" Zhu Ziyang wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he said solemnly.
"Uh! Something like that!" Xiao Bai was a bit embarrassed, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "The Asura God and Rakshasa God were once the Eight Kings of the God Realm, jointly governing the order of this starry sky. However, the Asura God represented reason, and the Rakshasa God represented emotion. The two complemented each other and were interdependent. If one's God Position had a problem, then the other would inevitably be affected."
"Then now that the Rakshasa God God Position's rank has fallen to a second-rank God, wouldn't the Asura God God Position also be affected?" Zhu Ziyang's expression became strange, he said.
"Yes." Xiao Bai said, "Asura and Rakshasa jointly governed the order of the starry sky, but after the great tribulation of the God Realm, the Rakshasa God's origin was damaged, causing its God Position rank to fall to a first-rank God. The balance of reason and emotion was broken, so Xiao Cai was swayed by emotions, and Xiao Hong also lost impartiality. This also caused the two, who were originally husband and wife, to have their relationship rupture and become like enemies.
They both chose to abandon their God Positions, probably because they couldn't bear the torment and didn't want to completely become puppets of their God Positions."
"The first generation Rakshasa God and the first generation Asura God were husband and wife?" This secret of the God Realm excited Zhu Ziyang. Eating the gossip of Divinities, he was probably the only one who had this privilege.
"Are you surprised? The Eight Kings of the God Realm, four pairs of husband and wife, perfectly align with the cosmic balance of yin and yang, and the principle of the starry sky's soul!" Xiao Bai was surprised by Zhu Ziyang's astonishment and said.
"Uh! Alright!" Zhu Ziyang couldn't laugh anymore, so he had to say, "You continue."
"Ten thousand years ago, they chose to let Tang San simultaneously inherit the God Positions of Sea God and Asura God, but tacitly allowed him to kill the inheritor of the Rakshasa God. Presumably, it was to reduce the influence of the Rakshasa God God Position on the Asura God God Position." Xiao Bai said, "After all, preserving the Asura God, as one of the top combat powers of the God Realm, is much wiser than simultaneously preserving the Asura God and Rakshasa God, causing them to mutually corrode.
However, this is only a temporary measure. If the Rakshasa God, which represents the emotion of order, cannot be repaired, this generation's Asura God will eventually be controlled by the God Position and become a puppet that destroys order!"
"So, you don't recommend that I give this Rakshasa God God Position to someone else?" Zhu Ziyang understood Xiao Bai's hidden meaning and said.
"Yes!" Xiao Bai said, "If the Rakshasa God God Position cannot be fully repaired, then do not let it appear in the God Realm. A second-rank Rakshasa God, who knows what kind of impact it will have on the Asura God God Position!"
"In short, it will be a negative impact, right?" Zhu Ziyang said thoughtfully.
"If you want to use a second-rank Rakshasa God to check and balance this generation's Asura God, then I advise you to find a way to fully repair the Rakshasa God instead." Xiao Bai also knew the meaning behind Zhu Ziyang's words, so she reminded him, "Compared to an Asura God in an imbalanced yin and yang state, an Asura God in a balanced yin and yang state is clearly easier to deal with, because that is an Asura God in an absolutely just and rational state. The existence of the Sea God God Position would be a defilement and a sin to him!"
"If this Rakshasa God God Position was really that easy to repair, why would it wait until now?" Zhu Ziyang pouted and said, "Forget it, this Rakshasa God God Position will stay with you for now. Give me the Angel God God Position!"
