"War God Hall..."
Yan Shaozhe and the others murmured the name of this new power.
From Xu Tianran, they learned more details.
All Spirit Masters participating in this planar war could be listed in the War God Hall.
The ranks within were not complicated: Warrior, War General, War King, and finally War God.
Anyone joining the War God Hall automatically becomes a Warrior. Reaching one hundred thousand Contribution Points would allow one to become a War General. One hundred thousand Contribution Points basically corresponds to the Spirit Metal needed for a standard set of One-Word Battle Armor. Ten million Contribution Points would allow one to become a War King, corresponding to the Spirit Metal needed for Three-Word Battle Armor.
Ace for War God?
According to Xu Tianran's plan, becoming a War God required the common recognition of the War God Hall, and there would also be rankings.
Of course, saying "common recognition" was essentially leaving a loophole for backdoor dealings. According to Xu Tianran's plan, killing any Abyssal Monarch would qualify one to be ranked as a War God.
That is to say, theoretically, there could be at most one hundred and eight War Gods.
"I think the idea of the War God Hall is good." Yan Shaozhe turned to look at the other elders, expressing his support for the War God Hall.
"Indeed, since this is a war, there needs to be an honor to strive for. Just aiming for Battle Armor is too one-sided," Elder Lin said.
Listening to the elders' discussion, Xu Tianran revealed a smile.
All were voices of agreement.
Sure enough, establishing the War God Hall required cooperation with Shrek.
Although this War God Hall was holding all Spirit Masters on the battlefield, its initial establishment definitely needed the support of powers with a certain influence. The Sun Moon Imperial Family wasn't enough, after all. The current impression of the Sun Moon Imperial Family was still in the field of Spirit Tools; their influence in the Spirit Master field was insufficient.
Shrek Academy was just right.
"This time, I, the Emperor, have come to cooperate with Shrek Academy also for some additional cooperation..."
After reaching a consensus with Yan Shaozhe on establishing the War God Hall, Xu Tianran also proposed his idea of supporting Shrek Academy and requested to join Shrek Academy, wishing to study there for a period.
God Realm.
"The War God Hall... finally established."
Dai Mubai revealed an expression of excitement.
Once this War God Hall was established, it would become the foundation for him, the God of War. By leveraging the War God Hall, his faith would spread, and perhaps he might have hope of breaking through to First-Class God.
Although it might require a long time to gather faith, this was, after all, a concrete opportunity.
Su Ming's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly looked down below.
After careful sensing, his expression became interesting.
"This is... the faith of the War God Hall?"
He found a few Body Sect disciples to understand the situation and immediately understood. Xu Tianran and Shrek Academy had somehow gotten together and jointly promoted the establishment of a power called the War God Hall.
"War God Hall..."
Su Ming certainly knew the reason he could obtain the faith of the War God Hall. In Douluo 3, he was the genuine Hall Master of the War God Hall, one who had seized the faith and obtained the divine rank.
"This War God Hall established by Xu Tianran can actually be considered the predecessor of the War God Hall from the Douluo 3 era."
Su Ming fell into thought.
He looked toward the lower reaches of the River of Time, switched perspectives, and had already entered ten years later. He wanted to see what the War God Hall had developed into after ten years.
The next moment, he retreated from the River of Time.
Su Ming himself was quite bewildered.
Coming back to his senses, he realized what had happened.
"Damn, the me from ten years later can already detect peering from the River of Time?"
Su Ming drew in a sharp breath of cold air.
On this River of Time, the only absolute reality was the Douluo 2 period. This was the present moment. Besides this, there were two other realities: one was the Su Ming of the past, and one was the Su Ming of the future.
From the present to the future, the River of Time would derive its future. Within it, there would exist this person "Su Ming." However, this person wouldn't know the River of Time existed. It was merely a deduced fake Su Ming inheriting the power and experiences of the Douluo 2 Su Ming.
Previously, Su Ming could use the spiritual domain of his Douluo 3 main body to explore various future situations.
This time, he habitually went to ten years later and was actually knocked back!
"What's going on?"
Su Ming was shocked and doubtful.
Ten years later, could one rely on their own strength to realize the existence of the River of Time?
Su Ming shook his head.
That shouldn't be the case, right?
"Ten years later, what level can I reach?"
Su Ming murmured, suddenly uncertain.
He chose another node to enter.
Five years later.
"No problem here. I actually haven't even prepared to become a god yet, haven't even reached level ninety-nine. It seems the River of Time's deduction of me is very conservative."
Su Ming first learned some news about the War God Hall.
"It's stabilized. It has actually become somewhat influential."
Confirming this, he then attached his thoughts to Du Busi, observing his self at this point in time through Du Busi's perspective.
"No abnormalities..."
Five years later didn't work, so try six years later.
Attempt after attempt, Su Ming confirmed that he became a god eight years later, and could not peer into the future after nine years.
Su Ming's teeth ached.
So, this ability of mine is because I'm too strong?
Could this be a restriction of the River of Time?
The ability to see the future was too overwhelming. The stronger a person was, the more restricted they became. First and foremost, one's future self wouldn't know.
Saying it was oneself, but the present, unless the body were completely connected, any other self was not oneself.
"Becoming a god eight years later... based on my observation, it should be directly becoming a God King."
That fake self eight years later was too strong. Su Ming was only a wisp of thoughts entering the future; he didn't dare probe randomly. He could only understand its preparations and make inferences.
"One year after becoming a God King, that fake self can block my prying eyes."
One year, conversion to the God Realm was one day. Meaning, simply stabilizing the God King realm for one day was enough to catch it.
God Kings actually had this ability?
Su Ming was shocked and doubtful.
But, he could clearly and quietly probe the future right under the noses of God Kings like the God of Destruction.
Rubbing his temples, he cleared the chaotic and cluttered thoughts from his mind.
"Back to the main point. This establishment of the War God Hall is just perfect."
As Su Ming sensed, he found someone was competing with him for faith.
"God of War?"
Through sensing, a thought emerged in his heart.
"No wonder it was called War God Hall. Looks like it's Tang San's doing."
Su Ming descended from the air, left the plain, and headed toward one of the three vacant peaks among the six mountains. At the foot of that mountain, there were newly set up tents.
Su Ming found the person in charge.
"I want to join your War God Hall."
Su Ming joined the War God Hall, that person in charge naturally didn't dare refuse.
He immediately reported to Xu Tianran. Xu Tianran wasn't annoyed, but rather excited and thrilled, directly using Su Ming as free advertising.
Seeing that even Su Ming had joined and registered in this "War God Hall," the Spirit Masters resting outside more or less came to take a look. Understanding the nature of the War God Hall—that it didn't entangle with one's original language—they all listed their names one after another, obtaining the title of Warrior.
As for Su Ming, without any dispute, he became a War God, and also the First War God.
Along with him becoming the First War God, in the God Realm, Dai Mubai let out a shocked and furious roar.
"Su Ming, you villain, you stole my faith!"
