Chapter 620.3 : Flying Daggermagic
“Some of the tribulations you went through were actually evaluative measures Tang San had put in place on behalf of the God Realm. If not, you would have had a much easier time. Do you remember the Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley? That was one of the tests which was used to evaluate your suitability to become a God. It was then when I saw the potential in you, and decided that I wanted you to take over my Godly Seat. Because Tang San was bogged down by some things which were happening in the God Realm and was unable to monitor you closely, I was able to sneak in and get you to inherit my Godly Seat.”
“Hence, you shouldn’t blame him for what he has done to you. Without the challenges he laid in your way, you would not have been able to achieve what you have today. In fact, he was a much more influential figure in your development than me.”
Huo Yuhao listened to Rong Nianbing’s explanation as he allowed past events to stream through his head. Some of the things which used to be unclear started to make a lot more sense now.
No wonder I was attacked by the powerful golden figure back at the Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley.
No wonder Wutong has a seal on her which stops me from being intimate with her.
No wonder Wutong disappeared after returning to the Clear Sky Sect.
Legend had it that the Clear Sky Sect was also started by Tang San—the founder of the Tang Sect.
Now that everything was falling into place, Huo Yuhao finally understood everything! Tang Wutong was actually Tang San’s daughter. Tang San, his future father-in-law, had been testing him all this while.
Rong Nianbing continued, “Even within the God Realm, Gods are divided into different tiers. The five most powerful Gods within the God Realm form the Judicial Committee. Among them are two Godkings—the God of Kindness and the God of Evil. There are also three Enforcers—the God of Asura, the God of Annihilation, and the God of Life. Tang San happens to be one of the Enforcers—the God of Asura. As of now, the two Godkings have gone to another planet to be reborn. They wanted to experience the ever-changing human life. Right now, the new Godkings are still in their development stage. Hence, Tang San could be said to be the most powerful God in the God Realm. He is essentially the one managing the God Realm now. Beyond the Judicial Committee, the most powerful Gods are Tier One Gods. I am one of the Tier One Gods. Because of how my power of emotions is intertwined with the abilities of the God of Kindness and the God of Evil, I am stronger than the average Tier One God. However, I still pale in comparison to Tang San.”
“After the Tier One Gods, we have Tier Two Gods and Tier Three Gods. There is also a group of individuals called the God Realm Patrol Hunters. All of them come together to form the God Realm. Because of the space limitation within the God Realm, only individuals who possess a Godly Seat can enter the God Realm. A person can only be given a Godly Seat after he or she has successfully passed the evaluation set by the Judicial Committee, and when a Godly Seat is available. He or she would then have to make a breakthrough and ascend into the God Realm. This is precisely what you have to do now.”
After finishing his sentence, Rong Nianbing paused for a while. He knew that Huo Yuhao would take some time to digest what he had just said.
Huo Yuhao seemed to understand what he said in no time. After all, he had always been an intelligent person. Before long, a clear picture of the God Realm started to form in his head.So the God Realm is basically a world that is built above the Douluo Continent! It is a world which houses individuals who have exceeded the limitations of our world!
Rong Nianbing smiled and asked, “Do you understand?”
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Rong Nianbing continued, “I’m only telling you all this because I want to give you one more chance to make a decision. After all, I have taken advantage of Tang San’s situation, and not done as much as what he has done for you. You can now make a decision whether you still want to inherit my Godly Seat. Of course, you are also allowed to choose to inherit Tang San’s Godly Seat. He really wants someone to help him share his workload. I can also pass what you feel about his Godly Seat to him. I’m sure he would be very happy to hear that. Besides, I’m sure it will help you get back your wife.”
Huo Yuhao shook his head. “There’s no need for that. I still wish to inherit your Godly Seat. As a man of my word, I ought to keep my word. Besides, I also should not rely on my father-in-law to find Wutong. Wouldn’t that make me seem useless? Can I ask you to pass your Godly Seat to me?”
Rong Nianbing revealed a pleased smile. “Alright. But I still want to remind you about one thing. Life in the God Realm is extremely lonely and boring. Even Tier One Gods like me can’t leave the God Realm whenever I please. In fact, we can never stay in the world of humans for an extended period of time. Unless we have passed our Godly Seat to another suitable individual, we can never leave the God Realm after entering it. The main reason why both Tang San and I want to pass our Godly Seat to you is that both of us want to travel around the world. Both of us want to see if there are any other God Realms in distant planets and worlds.”
Huo Yuhao’s determination did not seem to waver after hearing Rong Nianbing’s clarification. He spoke resolutely, “I am willing to inherit your Godly Seat.” No matter what the price was, he wanted to go and find Tang Wutong. This was something that would never change.
Rong Nianbing exclaimed, “Alright! I have already laid out all the things you should know. Since you are still willing to take up my Godly Seat, let’s begin.”
Following which, he raised his hands as two lights—one blue and one red—surged and rose around him.
Huo Yuhao could sense how his Ultimate Ice soul power was activated by the lights released by Rong Nianbing. At this instant, Huo Yuhao felt the familiar sensation of becoming one with heaven and earth when he had released the Ghostcarving Blade earlier.
Rong Nianbing waved his hand as the scenery around him started to fade and become illusory. In the blink of an eye, both of them were transported to a sky full of stars.
Rong Nianbing continued to release icy blue and fiery red light into Huo Yuhao’s body.
At this instant, Huo Yuhao could sense how his entire body was being enhanced. The three soul cores in his body were rotating at an unprecedented speed. Every time a circulation was completed, an immense soul power fluctuation would be released.
Streaks of light started to fly through the air as a mysterious intent started to form on Huo Yuhao’s face.
Streaks of starry light began to descend from above as they landed on his body.
His surroundings started to become warped as Huo Yuhao’s past started to run itself like a tape recording within his spiritual world.
It started from how he was ill-treated within the residence of the White Tiger Duke. Following which, it moved on to the part when he met the Skydream Iceworm and absorbed a million-year soul ring. Then, it showed him how he met Tang Wutong at Shrek Academy. Everything that had happened to him in the Douluo Continent was appearing before his eyes again. He was able to experience his entire life in this short moment.
After a short while, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, only to see a smiling Rong Nianbing.
As he stared at Rong Nianbing, the color in Huo Yuhao’s pupils seemed to have become fainter. It was almost as though he had aged, and had comprehended more about the laws of the universe. The energy and power in his body were undergoing a complete transformation.
His three soul cores started to melt as the Ultimate Ice, spiritual power, and spatial power in his body started to fuse together. A brand new power was forming.
His Spiritual Sea started to take on a pure golden color. His spiritual sense was becoming illusory as the divine sense he had once detected from Electrolux started to expand from his Spiritual Sea. Everything about him was being enhanced at this instant.Rong Nianbing raised his hands as a mystical crown appeared at the top of his head. The crown had two colors—icy blue and fiery red. There seemed to be some mystical fluctuations radiating from the top of the crown.
Huo Yuhao immediately felt the emotions within him—happiness, anger, sorrow, bliss, love, hate, and disgust—changing and activating.
The Morning Dew Dagger on Huo Yuhao’s body transformed into a streak of blue light and returned to Rong Nianbing. Rong Nianbing’s seven daggers represented the seven different kinds of emotions.
In order to hand his Godly Seat over to Huo Yuhao, Rong Nianbing had to first take his power back from him.
The seven different daggers represented the water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and spatial elements. These were the seven daggers that belonged to Rong Nianbing—the God of Emotions.
Sigh of the Frozen Goddess—Morning Dew Dagger.
Roar of the Flaming God—Positive Yang Dagger.
Whisper of the Free Wind—Arrogant Sky Dagger.
Melody of the Awakening Earth—Immortality Dagger.
The Brilliant Six Lights—Jade Pearl Dagger
The All-Penetrating Dawn—Holy Radiance Dagger.
Curse of Eternal Damnation—Devildevouring Dagger.
These seven godly daggers were radiating seven different colors—which also happened to represent the seven different kinds of emotions.
Suddenly, the Morning Dew Dagger transformed into an icy blue light image as it shot towards Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao felt his body shudder as the blue light flashed before him. A melancholic emotion was stirred within his heart. This was sorrow—one of the seven emotions.
Following which, the fiery red Positive Yang Dagger carried its burning flames and flew towards Huo Yuhao.
An intense rage appeared in Huo Yuhao’s heart. This was anger!
Next, the green blade flew towards Huo Yuhao. This was the Arrogant Sky Dagger, the Whisper of the Free Wind. Huo Yuhao could sense the happiness in his heart.
Following which, a long yellow dagger shot towards Huo Yuhao. It was the Immortality Dagger—a dagger which contained the power of earth. The yellow light fused into Huo Yuhao’s body and gave him bliss.
A ray of silver light was emitted from the Jade Pearl Dagger. The Brilliant Six Lights was not only a dagger which contained mere hatred. It was also filled with rejection and exclusion.
Next, there was the Curse of Eternal Damnation—the Devildevouring Dagger. This was the embodiment of true hatred. Its black glow seemed to be drawing strength from all sorts of negative emotions within Huo Yuhao.
Lastly, there was a brilliant golden light. This almighty light entered from the top of his head as it penetrated through his entire body.
It was the All-Penetrating Dawn—the Holy Radiance Dagger. It embodied the power of radiant light. At that instant, everything seemed to come to life as all negative emotions were embraced and converted by the power of love. Yes, it was love—the most powerful emotion among the seven.
All seven emotions were now interconnected as the seven legendary daggers returned to Rong Nianbing. It was evident that Rong Nianbing was sad to part ways with his beloved daggers. However, he decisively waved his hand as all of them combined to form a ball of light. The ball of light was then released into the starry sky above them.
