Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 247: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

The physical changes meant little to Chen Ming; what truly mattered now was the challenges his spirit was facing.

The semi-plane neither belonged to the Douluo World nor was it strictly part of the Divine Realm. The formation of spirit abilities within soul rings required both the soul ring itself and the world origin of the Douluo World to shape them.

The God of Destruction was unaware of this, and the Goddess of Life didn't understand the principles behind soul rings either. As a result, when Chen Ming was now absorbing a soul ring, he wasn't truly facing the Divine Realm or the Douluo World, but rather the vast and intangible cosmos itself.

After absorbing 99% of the soul ring, Chen Ming naturally sent signals outward, intending to enter the state of condensing spirit abilities. However, since soul rings were a unique product of the Douluo World, these signals were meaningless to the cosmos.

Eventually, after countless failed attempts to send signals, Chen Ming seemed to realize this.

If he gave up now, even if he returned to the Douluo World with the support of its world consciousness, it would still take a long time for the spirit abilities within this soul ring to condense.

For an ordinary soul master, this would be a huge problem. But for Chen Ming, the absence of interference during the absorption of the soul ring presented an opportunity.

It had been a long time since anyone mentioned this—Chen Ming possessed the ability to craft his spirit abilities. However, because his comprehension of the world's laws was inferior to that of the Douluo World itself, he had rarely used this ability.

The only time Chen Ming utilized this power was when he, with the help of the essence he obtained from Dugu Bo and the support of the Douluo World, crafted the Destructive Death Ray for himself. Beyond that, this ability had remained dormant—an idea left unpracticed.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity created by the absence of external interference, Chen Ming began his attempt.

Yes, he was attempting to replicate.

Although his strength now was hundreds of times greater than when he was just a Soul Grandmaster, he wasn't so bold as to think he could surpass the laws of an entire world. What he was replicating now were none other than the powers of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction.

When he first encountered the two, Chen Ming, due to his unique nature, glimpsed a portion of their essence. While the information was overwhelming for him—blurring the lines between useful and useless insights and even causing mental anguish—at this moment, he tried his best to recall those insights, imprinting them onto the soul ring and attempting to resonate with the laws of the cosmos.

Starting with the power of life, and with the aid of the peak life energy within him, the Ultimate Wood element, and the residual divine power of the Goddess of Life within the soul ring, this imprinting process was quite successful. Since hundred-thousand-year soul rings typically had dual skills, Chen Ming naturally began imprinting the power of the God of Destruction next.

However, Chen Ming's comprehension of destruction was limited to death and poison. Even under the threat of death, all he could do was fuse these two into the inferior force of annihilation, which was a lower-level derivative of destruction. Logically, this ability should have been incomplete when imprinted.

But after all, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life were watching him.

Gazing at Chen Ming's bold actions, the God of Destruction's mouth twitched slightly. He released a faint trace of his repressed aura, demonstrating his connection to the cosmic origin, allowing Chen Ming's replication to immediately find its target.

Death and poison gave rise to annihilation, and annihilation further evolved into destruction.

Life and death, creation and destruction—the laws of the cosmos revealed themselves to Chen Ming in an icy, indifferent manner. Their profundity and sheer scale of information surpassed that of the Douluo World countless times over. Chen Ming could only imprint a tiny, insignificant fraction of this power onto his soul ring.

When the absorption was complete, the soul ring theoretically belonged to the Myriad King, but it was difficult to find any traces of the Myriad Demon King's influence within it.

Judging by its essence, this soul ring—which had been modified by the Goddess of Life and imprinted with fragments of the power of two Divine Kings—shouldn't even be considered a soul ring. The skill contained within it couldn't even be categorized as a traditional spirit ability.

First Spirit Ability: Life

The origin of life, a miraculous power capable of altering life itself.

Second Spirit Ability: Destruction

The origin of destruction, a force capable of utterly obliterating all things, both tangible and intangible.

These two spirit abilities were vague and indistinct. Even Chen Ming found them difficult to wield; their usage came with immense consumption and a high level of difficulty in control. However, the characteristics they embodied exceeded the fundamental nature of the Douluo World itself and, due to their unique properties, were in some respects even more extraordinary than divine power.

After absorbing the soul ring, Chen Ming stood up and bowed to the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life. Seeing that Chen Ming had imprinted fragments of their powers onto his body, the two deities exchanged awkward smiles. Without saying anything further, they waved their hands, sending Chen Ming and Lou Gao back to the Douluo World.

In the semi-plane, after sending the two away, the God of Destruction picked up his staff and glanced at the Goddess of Life. The usually cold expression on his face turned peculiar.

"Little Green, what do you think? Since he now has a part of my origin and a part of yours in his body, does that make him, biologically speaking, our child?"

"This..." The Goddess of Life was momentarily at a loss for words, stunned by the God of Destruction's strange perspective.

Does it? Could it?

Collecting fragments of their origins and fusing them into one—conceptually, this could indeed be considered their "child." As humanized embodiments of conceptual entities, if they were to have a child, this would likely be the form it would take. Yet, biologically and ethically, Chen Ming had no connection to them; he had merely acquired a small portion of their power.

Even with her broad-minded nature and boundless love, the Goddess of Life found herself silent for a long time, unsure of what to say.

In the end, the God of Destruction shook his head and returned to the Divine Realm with the still bewildered Goddess of Life.

The God of Destruction didn't want to settle accounts with the Douluo World's will, but the problem was that, even as a Divine King wielding the core of the Divine Realm, he could not do so.

The will of a plane was an abstract and intangible existence. Even if it existed, it couldn't directly convey information; at most, it could send vague signals. And even if it actively sent information, the will of a plane might not be able to perceive it.

Unless there was a plane's master or representative, communication—even with the Divine Core—was impossible.

Or perhaps a first-level deity with a domain in the soul or emotions could attempt it? But neither the God of Destruction nor the Goddess of Life possessed such abilities.

Upon returning to the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction summoned his Seven Deadly Sins.

As subordinate first-level gods under the God of Destruction, the Seven Deadly Sins immediately rushed to his temple upon receiving his summons, kneeling respectfully as they awaited his commands.

The God of Destruction's eyes gleamed as he looked at the Seven Deadly Sins, then issued a peculiar order to the strongest among them, the God of Greed.

"Greed, I want you to locate Rakshasa and Angel. It's been a long time since I've seen either of them. Remember, don't let anyone, especially Asura, find out."

The God of Destruction's eyes flickered with a ruthless light. As the God of Destruction, he wasn't known for his patience. If Asura had merely broken the rules, he would have tried to protect his old friend of ten thousand years, minimizing the impact and making reparations to the victims later.

But if Asura had truly committed an irreparable crime, the God of Destruction wouldn't hesitate to personally send his wayward friend to his end.

"Envy, I want you to keep a close eye on the Sea God without being discovered. Also, watch Asura carefully."

"Wrath, find an opportunity to stir up trouble for the God of Slaughter. Don't go overboard—just a minor skirmish will do. Never mind. Arrogance, you do it instead. I'm worried Wrath might lose control. Remember, don't make it too obvious, and don't escalate the conflict too much. Most importantly, don't let the God of Slaughter kill you."

"Lust, find a way to learn if the God of Forging has any free time recently. Come back and report to me. I have something to ask him."

"Sloth, go to the Divine Beast Forest and take a nap. Keep an eye on the forest's movements, especially to ensure that no anomalies occur with that existence."

"Gluttony and Wrath, return to your temples and prepare for battle. I have a feeling that something major might happen in the Divine Realm soon."

At this point, the God of Destruction fell silent.

Despite being the embodiment of the cosmic rule of destruction—the nemesis of all things tangible and intangible—it seemed as though he was the only one among the Five Divine Kings truly working for the advancement of the Divine Realm.

Faced with their master's orders, the Seven Deadly Sins, though puzzled, knelt respectfully, expressing their unwavering loyalty.

The Seven Deadly Sins and the former God of Thunder and God of Strength were the God of Destruction's absolute confidants. Each of them was utterly devoted to him.

They did not question who their enemies were; they only needed to know where they were. They didn't need to ask why the God of Destruction wanted to monitor other gods; they only knew that he must have a reason.

In their eyes, the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life stood above all others. The other gods, including the Divine Kings, were secondary. While they respected the other Divine Kings, their loyalty to the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life was unmatched.

Though each of the Seven Deadly Sins wielded the power of sin and was influenced to varying degrees by it, none of this interfered with their unwavering loyalty to the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction gave them his heart and soul, and they repaid him with their utmost devotion.
