[Naturally, while everyone was worried about the dangers ahead, the opportunity to attain godhood was something that absolutely could not be missed.]
[Although Yu Xiaogang didn't yet understand the true difference between a god and a Titled Douluo, he knew one thing with certainty—it represented an entirely new realm of existence.]
[Take the Angel God worshipped by Spirit Hall, for example. Based on Yu Xiaogang's research, becoming a god likely involved mysterious concepts such as faith and divine authority.]
[Anything connected to such powers was bound to be extraordinary.]
["Father, then how are you supposed to inherit the position of the Thunder God?"]
["There should be some kind of divine trial, shouldn't there?"]
[Yu Xiaogang asked curiously.]
[After all, becoming a god couldn't possibly be as simple as agreeing with a few words.]
[There had to be trials and qualifications.]
[Hearing his son's question, Yu Yuanzhen chuckled.]
["I didn't accept the Thunder God's divine position."]
[Didn't accept...]
[He didn't accept?!]
[The moment those words left Yu Yuanzhen's mouth, the Grand Elder felt his blood pressure spike.]
[He stared at Yu Yuanzhen with wide eyes.]
["You... you actually refused?"]
["How could you refuse?!"]
[His trembling finger pointed at Yu Yuanzhen as he struggled to find the words.]
[Looking at the Grand Elder's nearly furious expression, Yu Xiaogang smiled helplessly.]
["Father, please stop teasing the Grand Elder."]
["At this rate, he might really fight you to the death."]
[Yu Yuanzhen laughed loudly.]
["Haha! I was only joking."]
["Actually, the God of Destruction is surprisingly easy to talk to."]
["He gave me two choices."]
["The first option was to directly inherit the Thunder God's divine position."]
["The second was to continue cultivating and further evolve my Thunder of Destruction."]
["If I succeed, I can inherit the far stronger God of Destruction's divine position."]
["If I fail..."]
["...the Thunder God's position will still be waiting for me."]
[Yu Yuanzhen patiently explained everything that had happened.]
[Only then did the Grand Elder finally let out the breath he had been holding.]
[He glared at Yu Yuanzhen in annoyance.]
[Among the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, only the Sect Master himself dared joke with him like this.]
[Yu Xiaogang, however, immediately focused on something else.]
["Further evolve your thunder attribute?"]
["So your Martial Spirit's evolution was actually an evolution of its thunder attribute?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen nodded.]
["That's right."]
["According to the God of Destruction, before evolving, my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon already possessed the thunder attribute of a top-tier Beast Spirit."]
["After its evolution, my thunder attribute advanced into Ultimate Thunder."]
["According to him, Ultimate Thunder is considered a demi-divine-level attribute."]
["If I can evolve it one step further into Divine Thunder..."]
["...I'll qualify to inherit the God of Destruction's divine position."]
[Hearing those words, Yu Xiaogang fell into deep thought.]
["Ultimate Thunder..."]
["Divine Thunder..."]
[He silently repeated the two terms in his mind.]
[As someone who had devoted his life to researching Martial Spirit evolution, Yu Xiaogang naturally had his own theories.]
[For a long time, he had believed that the ultimate direction of evolution lay in continuously strengthening an elemental attribute until it reached perfection.]
[Now...]
[The God of Destruction's explanation perfectly confirmed his theory.]
[For thunder attribute Spirit Masters, the evolutionary path was now crystal clear.]
[Top-tier Thunder.]
[Ultimate Thunder.]
[Divine Thunder.]
[Each represented a higher stage than the last.]
[The moment someone reached Ultimate Thunder, their power had already surpassed ordinary understanding.]
[After all...]
[A demi-divine attribute wasn't a title that could be given casually.]
[At the same time, this also proved just how difficult Ultimate Thunder was to obtain.]
[Yu Xiaogang naturally used his father as the best example.]
[Yu Yuanzhen possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit.]
[He had been born with full innate soul power.]
[His thunder attribute had already stood at the absolute peak among ordinary Spirit Masters.]
[Yet...]
[Even after obtaining all nine spirit rings, he still hadn't reached Ultimate Thunder.]
[Only after consuming the mysterious Thunder Vajra Grass did he finally complete that final step.]
[That alone was enough to illustrate how terrifyingly difficult Ultimate Thunder was to achieve.]
[As for Divine Thunder...]
[That was clearly a power that belonged only to true gods.]
[The trial given by the God of Destruction was anything but simple.]
[Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen still had the Thunder God's inheritance as a safety net.]
[There was no need to worry too much.]
[Once his thoughts regarding his father's thunder attribute settled, Yu Xiaogang naturally shifted his attention back to himself.]
[Specifically...]
[His own Light Attribute.]
[Using his father as a reference, Yu Xiaogang immediately outlined his own path of evolution.]
[First...]
[Raise his Light Attribute until it reached the level of a top-tier Beast Spirit.]
[Then...]
[Advance it into Ultimate Light.]
[Finally...]
[Transform it into Divine Light.]
["A top-tier Light Attribute..."]
[Yu Xiaogang quietly evaluated Little Dragon's current abilities.]
[After a long moment, he slowly shook his head.]
[Not even close.]
[Because of his crippled innate soul power, Little Dragon's original talent had suffered tremendous losses.]
[Before obtaining his first spirit ring, Little Dragon hadn't displayed even the slightest trace of a Light Attribute.]
[His first spirit ring—the Crimson Blood Dragon—was a pure Dragon-type Spirit Beast.]
[It possessed no Light Attribute whatsoever.]
[At most, it merely awakened the hidden Light Attribute already sleeping within Little Dragon's bloodline.]
[His second spirit ring came from the Radiant Heavenly Dragon.]
[Although it possessed the Light Attribute, it primarily specialized in spiritual power rather than pure elemental light.]
[Only his third spirit ring—the Radiant Elemental Dragon—could truly be considered a Spirit Beast that specialized in the Light Attribute.]
[However...]
[One spirit ring alone wasn't enough to push his Light Attribute to its limits.]
["So..."]
["My future path is to continue strengthening my Light Attribute?"]
[Yu Xiaogang rested his chin in his hand as conflicting thoughts surfaced.]
[His father had possessed one of the strongest thunder attributes in existence.]
[Even so...]
[Nine spirit rings still weren't enough to reach Ultimate Thunder.]
[Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang currently possessed only three spirit rings.]
[One lacked the Light Attribute entirely.]
[Another only partially enhanced it.]
[Under those circumstances...]
[Should he continue pursuing stronger Light Attribute Spirit Beasts?]
[Or should he instead prioritize Dragon-type Spirit Beasts?]
[After all...]
[What if continuously strengthening his dragon bloodline produced another evolutionary path altogether?]
[Ultimate Dragon?]
[Yu Xiaogang instinctively felt that bloodline evolution couldn't possibly be so straightforward.]
[He sighed quietly.]
["Looks like I'll have to choose every future spirit ring very carefully."]
["Dragon Attribute..."]
["Light Attribute..."]
["Neither can be neglected."]
[He scratched his head helplessly.]
["What a troublesome problem."]
["If only there were another immortal herb with a Light Attribute..."]
["Then I wouldn't have to worry so much."]
[In the end, Yu Xiaogang decided that after returning to Spirit City, he would thoroughly search Spirit Hall's archives.]
[Perhaps they contained records related to Light Attribute evolution.]
[Thinking of Spirit Hall naturally reminded him of the Qian Family.]
[Every ancient force on the Douluo Continent knew that the Qian Family were descendants of the Angel God.]
[Their inherited Angel Martial Spirit was widely recognized as one of the strongest Light Attribute Martial Spirits in existence.]
[If someone asked which Martial Spirit possessed the strongest Light Attribute on the continent...]
[The answer would undoubtedly be the Angel Martial Spirit.]
[Years ago, when Yu Xiaogang attended an event hosted by Spirit Hall, he had personally witnessed Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji summon the Angel Martial Spirit.]
[Its power had indeed been extraordinary.]
[However...]
[He hadn't sensed the overwhelming elemental suppression that he felt from the Grand Elder or Uncle Lin.]
[That immediately raised a question in Yu Xiaogang's mind.]
[Could it be...]
[Even the legendary Angel Martial Spirit hadn't reached the level of Ultimate Light?]
[Or...]
[Was it simply that Qian Xunji himself hadn't fully developed its true potential yet?]
