Dai Mubai was initially hesitant, but after feeling the surging power within him and Tang San's persuasion, he quickly joined Tang San's camp.
On the other side.
Outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Soul Spirit Assembly was held as scheduled.
The process of a thousand people undergoing soul spirit Fusion was complex.
The entire Soul Spirit Assembly was divided into ten days, with a hundred people undergoing soul spirit Fusion each day, and even if they failed, Shi Quan would provide them with another soul spirit.
Qian Renxue, as the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, did not come in person but merely dispatched an envoy.
Furthermore, she had other matters to attend to; while the Soul Spirit Assembly was in full swing, the capitals of various kingdoms and duchies, as well as some Advanced cities within the Heaven Dou Empire, were cleansed by flames amidst explosions.
Just as the various kingdoms and duchies were leaderless, Qian Renxue, with thunderous momentum, exposed a large number of crimes committed by the kingdom's noble officials, and simultaneously revealed evidence of Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing's attempts at rebellion.
Leading an army of thousands, she forcefully marched against the various kingdoms, and in less than a day, she suppressed the kingdom closest to the Heaven Dou Empire with absolute military might.
It was also during this expedition that Qian Renxue revealed the powerful weapon of gunpowder.
An army possessing gunpowder was utterly devastating to ordinary heavy-armored and iron-armored soldiers; the one-sided battles made the various kingdoms dare not resist, and coupled with the deaths of many nobles, under leaderless circumstances, most kingdoms directly responded to Qian Renxue's call for centralization, willing to hand over their respective military powers.
In just ten short days of the Soul Spirit Assembly, Qian Renxue, with absolute strength, consolidated the military power of the entire Empire.
Many forces were shocked by Qian Renxue's actions; no one knew that the Heaven Dou Empire would possess such powerful weapons, and most importantly, these weapons could even be used by ordinary people, prompting widespread inquiries.
The Star Luo Empire, in particular, felt a serious threat.
Shi Quan did not participate in the Heaven Dou Empire's affairs; After the Soul Spirit Assembly concluded, Shi Quan gave Qian Renxue his compiled legends of the Underworld and theories of Reincarnation, asking Qian Renxue to help him spread them.
After Qian Renxue read Shi Quan's descriptions of the Underworld and Reincarnation in his book, her expression couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
It must be said that Shi Quan knew how to persuade people.
Death is not the end, but another beginning of new life.
This gave all beings who feared death not only a new understanding of death but also a sense of expectation.
If such rhetoric were to spread, it could guide people towards goodness, reduce crime rates, and also alleviate people's sorrow over separation and death.
Such beneficial rhetoric naturally deserved to be promoted.
Qian Renxue used some means, and soon this rhetoric spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.
As for Shi Quan, after giving the Underworld legends to Xue Qinghe, all matters that needed to be handled upon his return were completed, and he then set off to return to Sea God Island.
Shi Quan also had to improve his strength as much as possible to better cope with the subsequent Divine War.
"Damn it, it's these two humans again!" A few days later, in the Demon Whale Sea Area, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King surfaced again.
"Looking at their back-and-forth flight direction, it seems they are traveling to and from Sea God Island?" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King fell into thought.
He had also seen the golden pillar of light that emerged above Sea God Island before, and it was clear that the Sea God's Legacy holder had appeared.
Could these two people have some connection to the Sea God's appearance?
"If I could devour this Legacy holder, or occupy his body, perhaps… But if these two are really connected to the Legacy holder, then that would be troublesome…"
With a splash, his body flipped and quickly submerged into the sea.
Back on Sea God Island.
After visiting everyone.
Shi Quan returned to the Raging Wave Forbidden Land again to begin his second round of power training.
With roaring giant waves crashing in, Shi Quan stood on the Deep Sea Sunken Silver Pillar, throwing punch after punch, constantly resisting the immense power of the giant waves.
He continuously refined his own strength.
His goal was to complete the second phase of training within half a year.
Half a year later, at the foot of Sea God Mountain.
"Top Eight Tests, First Test, Transmigration, Enhancement, Seagod's Light, Passed. spirit power increased by one Rank. spirit ring skill power increased by five hundred years."
As Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing stepped onto the steps respectively, panting heavily, a vast and ancient voice suddenly entered their minds.
After a year of Cultivation and the rewards from the assessment, both of their strengths reached Rank seventy-six.
Ye Lingling, on the three hundred thirty-third step, also heard the solemn and majestic voice of the Sea God, "Transmigration, Double, Seagod's Light, Test Passed. First Test completed, Sea God Affinity increased by five percent, currently five percent overall."
Just like in the original work, she did not receive any spirit ring or spirit power rewards, but her spirit power Rank was one Rank higher than both Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, because she was the only twin spirits holder among the three.
After the three girls successively completed their tests, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Yu Feng had already completed their tests before the three girls did.
After a year of effort, everyone completed the First Test and received the rewards bestowed by the Sea God.
Ma Hongjun, compared to a year ago, had lost a lot of weight; he used to be a Fatty, but now he could only be described as sturdy, not fat.
His purple Sea God assessment mark on his forehead, through his desperate efforts over the past year, had truly successfully risen to Black Rank Four Tests.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the Seagod's Light assessment would only appear in Black Rank assessments; when Ma Hongjun's First Test showed Seagod's Light, it already indicated that Ma Hongjun actually had the potential for Black Rank assessment, but whether he could specifically achieve it depended on Ma Hongjun's own effort and dedication.
Ma Hongjun also gained the Sea God's recognition through his own efforts.
After a year of assessment, everyone's strength had improved, and some had already received the god-bestowed spirit ring brought by Bo Saixi, such as Ma Hongjun, but they tacitly did not absorb the god-bestowed spirit ring, because they had all fused with the soul spirit given to them by Shi Quan; the god-bestowed spirit ring was precious, and they all planned to save this god-bestowed spirit ring for the most crucial moment later.
"Affinity?" After hearing everyone's rewards, Ye Lingling frowned slightly, somewhat confused.
What was the use of this Sea God Affinity? Her test difficulty was the highest, so the reward should be better than theirs. Could it be that the Sea God Affinity reward was better than the spirit power reward and the spirit ring age limit reward?
"What's wrong, Lingling?" Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing both noticed the change in Ye Lingling's expression.
Ye Lingling then explained her situation, and upon hearing it, everyone was also somewhat puzzled.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "The Seagod Nine Trials are the assessment for the Sea God's Legacy. This Sea God Affinity might be related to the final Legacy, just like your compatibility with something. The higher the compatibility, the more smoothly you can use it. Perhaps the higher this Affinity, the easier it will be for you to inherit the God position later…"
