Chapter 385 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [385]
Qian Daoliu tore through space and returned to the Worship Hall. The Angelic Sacred Sword, which contained the divine consciousness of the Angel God, immediately began scanning Qian Daoliu's aura. After confirming that no surveillance methods had been left on him, it quietly opened an extremely small passage.
Qian Daoliu closed his eyes and focused, carefully inserting a wisp of aura he had just extracted from Bibi Dong during their combat. On the other side, the true form of the Angel God (relatively speaking) quickly grasped this aura and then began meticulously analyzing it, aided by the power of the Golden Tree.
Chen Ming and Qian Daoliu waited in silence. About half an hour later, the Angel God's true form completed its preliminary research on the divine power of the Rakshasa God.
"Three bad pieces of news. Which one do you want to hear first?" The Angel God's divine consciousness transmitted its voice through the Angelic Sacred Sword to Qian Daoliu and Chen Ming, calmly leaving the choice to Chen Ming.
"Why bother asking which one to hear first when they're all bad news?"
"Because compared to the worst one, the other two could almost be considered good news," the Angel God's divine consciousness replied with a cold joke, then proceeded to share its findings.
"First, the divine power of the Rakshasa God does indeed contain traces of power originating from the same source as my Angel God's divine power. My initial suspicion was correct. Among the forces that originally formed the Rakshasa God's divine position was a portion of negative energy I had actively rejected. This portion of negative energy accumulated and eventually formed the foundation of the Rakshasa God's divine position."
"This means that while the Angel God can suppress the Rakshasa God, the Rakshasa God also can counter the Angel God. Both sides possess the power to harm each other's essence."
"The Angel God and the Rakshasa God are connected? Angel God, you never mentioned this!" Qian Daoliu, as the listener, was utterly stunned. He hadn't expected to learn such a bombshell revelation at this moment.
"I only suspected it before and didn't have confirmation, so I didn't make any definitive statements." The Angel God didn't want to discuss the dark history that came with the negative energy she had rejected—a history she was reluctant to revisit.
Don't doubt why even the Angel God has a dark history. After all, everyone has a youthful phase. The Angel God had made mistakes, wronged innocent people, regretted past actions, sacrificed things that shouldn't have been sacrificed, and failed to fulfill everyone's expectations.
This negative energy was a combination of its own malice and the collective resentment of the people toward the Angel God, forming the negative portion of its divine position.
Although the Angel God appeared perfect outwardly, she too had flaws, just as Qian Daoliu's lineage had produced a disgrace like Qian Xunji. Perfection, whether in gods or mortals, is always an illusion.
"Anyway, let's move on to the second piece of bad news."
"Second, while Bibi Dong has inherited the Rakshasa God's divine trials, she is not the chosen successor of the Rakshasa God. Although a 100% compatibility with a deity's divine position is sufficient to ascend to godhood, deities usually prefer their successors to have a compatibility exceeding 100%."
"This higher compatibility not only allows the successor to grow faster but also reduces unnecessary risks during the final stages of becoming a god. Additionally, exceeding 100% compatibility allows the deity to interfere with the mortal realm more effectively, sometimes even to protect their successor."
"However, Bibi Dong's compatibility with the Rakshasa God is only 60%. She has already reached the eighth trial, but this level of compatibility is far too low. The ninth trial, which prepares one for godhood, offers to become a god as its reward. With her current compatibility, even if she becomes the Rakshasa God, she won't be able to fully wield the divine position's power."
"Could it be that Bibi Dong is someone else's pawn?" Qian Daoliu asked hesitantly, while Chen Ming, standing nearby, remained silent with his eyes closed—already expecting this revelation.
"The third—and worst—piece of news is that the true form of the Rakshasa God in the God Realm has already fallen. Right now, it seems that the one controlling the Rakshasa God's divine trials is likely the Asura God. I sensed faint traces of the Asura God's aura within the Rakshasa God's divine power." Without waiting for Qian Daoliu to ask more questions, the Angel God dropped an even bigger bombshell.
"My true form in the God Realm has already perished. The Rakshasa God's true form has also fallen. As of now, only the Sea God remains among the three gods who ascended from the Douluo Plane. If all three divine positions were to fall under the control or manipulation of a single entity, I fear something terrible will happen to the Douluo Plane."
"What could happen?" Qian Daoliu asked again, and Chen Ming opened his eyes as well.
"I don't know, but it certainly wouldn't be anything good. It would be far worse than I originally anticipated," the Angel God's divine consciousness answered hesitantly.
"I am even beginning to suspect that when I tried to break free from the Asura God's control, he noticed and secretly collected the portion of negative energy I had expelled. Then, using his power, he combined it with this energy to create the Rakshasa God's divine position as a countermeasure against me."
"However, the young girl who ultimately became a god seemed to have noticed something amiss as well. She tried to break free from the Asura God's control, resulting in an almost irreconcilable conflict between them in the God Realm. When my true form was still alive, I thought it was merely a clash between their divine positions."
"Now, it seems likely that the Rakshasa God was secretly killed by the Asura God. My true form probably met the same fate at his hands. What is the Asura God trying to achieve? If the God Realm discovers this, even as the God of Justice and Law, he will face severe punishment. And because of his role as the Enforcer God-King, his punishment will only be harsher."
"I have a theory, but I'm not sure if it's correct," Chen Ming, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke, extending his right hand as soul power surged across his five fingers.
"What is it?" the Angel God asked, clearly agitated.
"Look, this is your Angel God's power. It can be purified into the attribute of justice." The power from the Angel God surged on his thumb, then transformed into pure justice.
"This is the Rakshasa God's power. It can be purified into the attribute of evil." On his index finger, evil energy surged, and the Angel God instantly sensed a serious issue.
"This is the Asura God's power. It represents pure judgment." The power of judgment surged on his middle finger. The three types of energy seemed to resonate faintly with each other.
"You mean—no, that's impossible. How do you explain the aspect of life?"

Realizing the possibility of what the Asura God might be plotting, the Angel God's divine consciousness began to tremble.
Without a doubt, this was the one path to ascend beyond the rank of God-King to the Supreme God-King—a path known to all gods but universally deemed impossible to succeed in both theory and practice.
