Chapter 263 Divine Inheritance
Suddenly, Wu Xuan's entire body trembled violently. He felt as if his entire body had become transparent, and with the intense tremor, his soul seemed to be cleansed by a special power.
In an instant, Wu Xuan felt that his soul power had changed—not become stronger, but sublimated.
"Divine sense...this is the aura of divine sense?" Wu Xuan murmured to himself.
The God of Destruction nodded slightly upon hearing this: "That's right, it's divine consciousness. After accepting my divine seed, the spiritual consciousness within your soul will gradually transform into divine consciousness. It will improve along with your cultivation level."
The God of Destruction paused for a moment and continued: "I greatly admire your talent, therefore I won't teach you any divine techniques. I've always believed that what's learned from others is never as good as what you comprehend yourself. Of course, being my successor isn't without its advantages. Now I'll give you two choices:
The God of Destruction smiled, and with a wave of his hands, two hammers radiating a terrifying aura appeared in Wu Xuan's sight.
"These are the divine artifacts, the Twin Mighty Hammers, one of the many divine artifacts I possess. If you choose these two hammers, then they will be yours from now on."
"Ah!?" Wu Xuan looked at the God of Destruction in disbelief. Just a second ago, the God was lecturing him, saying that receiving a divine inheritance didn't guarantee the divine position, and now he was about to give him a divine artifact?
The God of Destruction placed his twin hammers on the ground, then pulled out a core wreathed in silver light.
"This core is the source of spiritual energy, essential for a mortal weapon to completely transform into a true divine artifact. Take your spear, for example. After you cultivate it to its true peak, fusing with this core will increase its chances of completely transforming into a true divine artifact by thirty percent."
"Choose one of the two, make your choice!" The God of Destruction placed two options before Wu Xuan and smiled.
Wu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, but his gaze towards the core remained unwavering: "Senior, I choose this core. Just as you said, I'd rather have my own weapon than someone else's."
"Hahaha! Very good, very good. Ambitious little fellows are exactly what I like. Well then, take this!" The God of Destruction laughed heartily, and the Source of Gathering Spirit directly merged into Wu Xuan's soul.
"Thank you, Senior!" Wu Xuan bowed excitedly. The artifact core was an immense opportunity for him.
"Haha, no need to thank me, I'm just following the rules!" The God of Destruction smiled and continued, "By the way, that divine seed contains the power of my ordinary strike. If your soul shatters and you die completely, the divine seed will also perish. Therefore, you must think carefully before you act."
"Yes! This junior understands." Wu Xuan respectfully replied, feeling his soul constantly strengthening, his heart filled with joy.
"Is there anything else you'd like to know? This is the only opportunity the gods have to summon their successors. We'll only meet again when you truly inherit the divine position." The God of Destruction looked at Wu Xuan with considerable satisfaction.
Having observed Wu Xuan for so long, he was confident in his judgment of character, hence his earnestness in summoning him.
"Could you tell me about the general situation of the God Realm, senior?" Wu Xuan quickly pressed.
"Of course!" The God of Destruction cleared his throat and said, "Our God Realm governs one hundred and eight small worlds. Your Douluo Continent is one such high-energy world. A high-energy world is one where it's easy for beings to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and reach the level of gods. I come from another high-energy world, not from your Douluo Continent. The true authority over the number of gods in the God Realm is the God Realm's Judgment Committee, composed of five God Kings."
"In the divine realm, besides the five God-Kings of the Divine Realm Committee, the most powerful gods are called Chief Gods, and there are thirty-two Chief Gods in total. Below the Chief Gods are various other gods. I am one of the top three among the thirty-two Chief Gods, subordinate to the God-King of Destruction. Therefore, after you inherit my divine position, you will also inherit my responsibilities."
"Senior, please rest assured, I will not shirk my duty," Wu Xuan assured him.
"Haha! You flatter me. The God-King of Destruction has always been very tolerant and magnanimous towards us, not so serious," the God of Destruction patted Wu Xuan on the shoulder.
"Senior, I wonder if the Sea God is one of the thirty-two Chief Gods?" Wu Xuan deliberately pressed for an answer.
"That guy! He also holds the Asura God position and is one of the five God-Kings of the divine realm. However, although they are both God-Kings, he is far inferior to our Lord," the God of Destruction said with a hint of arrogance. "By the way, why are you asking about that guy?"
"Senior, it's because I'm often interfered with by an unfamiliar force in the lower realm, causing much suffering to those around me. And in the past ten thousand years of Douluo Continent, only the Sea God has ascended to the God Realm, hence this question," Wu Xuan said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the God of Destruction's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Insidious fellow! How shameless! He disregards the law himself, yet he calls himself the God of Law Enforcement in the God Realm. He's not even a hair on my head!"
"Alright, little one, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on that Sea God. As my successor, you don't need to fear him. I have high hopes for you; don't disappoint me." The God of Destruction patted Wu Xuan on the shoulder, then waved his hand. Wu Xuan felt everything around him become illusory. In the next instant, his soul could no longer sense anything outside, his body shimmering with silver light, everything becoming unreal.
Seeing this, Wu Xuan bowed deeply to the God of Destruction, and the next moment his body transformed into a ball of light and descended to the mortal realm.
However, what neither the God of Destruction nor Wu Xuan knew was that in a corner beside the magnificent palaces of the divine realm, space suddenly rippled, and a figure shrouded in black robes silently observed the God of Destruction's actions.
Then, a silent fluctuation attached itself to Wu Xuan's soul. Only then did it leave the spot with satisfaction.
The one who had been spying was none other than the God of Space.
"You God of Destruction, I never expected someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes to be so insidious. You even managed to fool a junior. I may have no chance, but with these coordinates, the power that originates from the same source as the Wind God might still have a chance. I'll intercept it then and make you furious, you bully."
"Muttering curses, the God of Space headed directly towards the Wind God's residence. The lower realm! The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, sets in the west and rises in the east. When Wu Xuan opened his eyes again, three days had passed. With a thought, the Soul-Shattering Spear hummed and shot into the sky, red, red, red!"
