164: Chapter 164 Nine Trials of Godhood

With a flicker of movement, Qian Daoliu arrived outside the Hall of Worship.

He quickly locked onto the direction of the Elder Palace.

His breathing was hurried.

He never expected that a Titled Douluo from the Elder Palace would receive a God Trial.

Furthermore, it was a Divinity that had actively sought them out.

At the same time, on Sea God Island, there was a tall woman.

She stood before the gates of the Sea God Temple, her gaze fixed toward the continent.

The woman was entirely enveloped in a bright red dress, her sea-blue hair fluttering in the wind. Her features were soft and beautiful, her aura noble and elegant.

In her right hand, she held a three-meter-long golden scepter, her slender fingers almost sinking into the staff.

As the High Priest of Sea God Island, she was the Sea God's spokesperson in the mortal realm.

Bo Saixi was all too familiar with Divine Power.

That beam of light just now did not belong to the Sea God, nor did it belong to the Angel God.

A completely unfamiliar Divinity had descended upon the continent.

It had left behind its own Legacy!

“Who could it be?”

“Is it Tang Chen?”

Bo Saixi wanted to head to the continent immediately to investigate.

She gripped her scepter tightly.

“I hope it's you!”

...Supreme Pontiff Palace.

Bibi Dong also arrived before the palace gates and, without hesitation, flew directly toward the Elder Palace.

As a Divinity Trial participant herself, Bibi Dong was also extremely sensitive to Divine Power.

Ordinary Spirit Masters might not have seen that pillar of light just now.

However, Bibi Dong knew clearly that someone, just like her, had gained the attention of a Divinity.

“Xiao Wen... Ye Yuaner!”

“Spirit Kite Douluo!”

Qian Daoliu arrived at the Elder Palace almost at the same time as Bibi Dong.

Looking at the red mark appearing on Ye Yuaner's forehead, Qian Daoliu's eyes widened.

He never expected that the one who attracted the God's attention would actually be Elder Spirit Kite.

Qian Daoliu's heart was a mess of emotions, even containing a hint of indignation.

Himself, Qian Daoliu, and Bo Saixi.

Both super Douluos had stopped at the Eighth Trial.

Tang Chen, that Peerless Powerhouse, was even missing—his life or death unknown—while searching for a Divinity Legacy.

Yet for the Spirit Kite Douluo, a Divinity had actively come knocking on her door.

“Spirit Kite, what happened?”

Bibi Dong glanced at Su Wen, then looked at Ye Yuaner.

“High Priest, Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff... Why are you here?”

Ye Yuaner pulled back her thoughts and looked at the two with feigned confusion.

Inside, however, she could hardly suppress her excitement.

Just moments ago, she had been pulled into a space.

She had obtained the qualification for the Nine Trials.

Completing the Nine Trials meant she could become a God.

But Ye Yuaner didn't want to tell the two of them about this.

A God Trial was considered a major secret for a Spirit Master.

“Spirit Kite, what were you doing just now?”

Qian Daoliu could also see that Ye Yuaner didn't want to tell them.

Indeed.

If he had obtained it, he wouldn't easily tell others either.

After all, no one could guarantee whether letting more people know would be a good or bad thing.

“Nothing much, just... normal Cultivation!”

Ye Yuaner originally wanted to mention the Immortal Plant, but the words changed at the tip of her tongue.

If the High Priest found out that an Immortal Plant had attracted a God Trial, the Immortal Plants in Su Wen's hands would likely be at risk.

“High Priest, there's no need for you to worry about the affairs of the Elder Palace. You should head back!”

Bibi Dong spoke up at the right time; she had also discerned some of the situation.

Qian Daoliu's expression was displeased, but after a brief moment of reflection, he asked directly.

A Divinity was simply too important!

“Spirit Kite, have you obtained a God Trial?”

Su Wen wasn't surprised to hear this; he had also seen the mark on Ye Yuaner's forehead.

It was the standard symbol of a God Trial.

The Phoenix God?

Or the Fire God?

Or perhaps the God of Light?

Su Wen felt they all suited Aunt Ye quite well.

“High Priest... I have indeed obtained a God Trial!”

Seeing she couldn't hide it, Ye Yuaner spoke out directly.

“The Fire God Nine Trials. For every trial completed, my affinity for the fire attribute will increase, as will my familiarity with Divine Power, until the Nine Trials are finished and the God Position descends...”

There was one thing Ye Yuaner didn't say: if she failed a single trial, the Legacy would be taken away immediately.

“As expected, it's the Nine Trials, and it's the Fire God!”

Qian Daoliu wasn't surprised; such a commotion couldn't have been for an Eight Trial.

This was the first time he had heard of a Divinity other than the Angel God or the Sea God.

“Spirit Kite, you may enter the Hall of Worship and become the Eighth Priest!”

“I will assist you with all my strength to complete the God Trial and help you achieve Divinity.”

Qian Daoliu's expression was complex yet filled with anticipation. He hadn't waited for the Angel God, but he had waited for another Divinity. No matter what, Ye Yuaner had grown up in Spirit Hall after all; Spirit Hall was finally welcoming a future God-rank powerhouse.

“High Priest, you don't need to worry about Spirit Kite's affairs. You should just stick to guarding your Angel God!”

Bibi Dong wore a slightly contemptuous smile.

“High Priest, I wish to remain in the Elder Palace for the time being!”

While Qian Daoliu's expression was souring, Ye Yuaner stroked Su Wen's head and said, “I still need to be responsible for Xiao Wen!”

“In that case, feel free to raise any requests with me. I will have the people from the Hall of Worship assist you!”

Knowing Ye Yuaner's attitude, Qian Daoliu stopped forcing the issue.

Just after he left, Bibi Dong walked up to Su Wen: “What did you just do?”

“Teacher, it was nothing much. I just had her consume an Immortal Plant!”

“Aunt Ye's Spirit suddenly underwent a change again!”

Su Wen gave a simple explanation, then looked at Ye Yuaner: “Aunt Ye, what's your current situation?”

“Me... I feel like my Spirit Abilities have become stronger, and my Spirit has gained a Light attribute!”

Ye Yuaner didn't hide anything either, carefully sensing her own changes: “The effects of my Spirit Abilities have been enhanced, and my Eighth Spirit Skill has been altered slightly into Phoenix Nirvana!”

“Light attribute!”

Su Wen remembered that the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo didn't have a Light attribute.

But it did have the effect of strengthening attributes.

Perhaps it evolved from the process of changing the flames.

Bibi Dong was amazed that two Immortal Plants had actually brought such immense benefits to Ye Yuaner.

Of course, Ye Yuaner's Spirit itself wasn't weak.

Being able to become a Titled Douluo on her own showed how strong the potential of the Blazing Fire Spirit Kite was; the two Immortal Plants were merely an unexpected Opportunity.

“Aunt Ye, the Fire God Nine Trials—what is the content of your first trial?”

Su Wen remembered that in the original story, Ma Hongjun failed and the Fire God Legacy was retracted. Thus, there was a saying that the Fire God didn't actually want to bestow the God Position.

But if he didn't want to, why let Ma Hongjun start the trials?

Was the Fire God purely doing it for fun?

Or was it for his wife?

Su Wen didn't know which it was, but it was true that Ma Hongjun had failed.

Now that Ye Yuaner could attract the Fire God's attention, it meant she already had the qualification to become a Divinity. Even if it wasn't the Fire God in the end, other Divinities would come looking for her.

“I'm not telling you yet!”

Ye Yuaner acted mysteriously and looked toward Bibi Dong.

At this moment, she seemed to realize that the Supreme Pontiff also appeared to be a God Trial inheritor.

It was just that her mark was hidden by her.

Bibi Dong also noticed that Ye Yuaner had seen through her.

She simply smiled without saying a word.

She didn't know what the Fire God Trials were like, but the contents of the Rakshasa God Trials left her physically and mentally exhausted, her hands stained with blood.

If Su Wen were to ask her, she likewise wouldn't reveal the contents of her trials.

Bibi Dong only wanted to maintain the image she currently had in Su Wen's heart, rather than that of someone driven to the brink of madness.
