Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 243: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

"Human, you are quite special."

Quietly watching as Chen Ming calmed down, the God of Destruction, holding his scepter, revealed a slight smile and praised him.

A mere human had unleashed the Sword of Judgment Across the Three Realms—if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the God of Destruction would have never believed it.

Although, in his view, this technique was immature, weak, riddled with flaws, and had many issues, he could not deny that the Sword of Judgment Across the Three Realms was on the right path.

Mutual generation and restraint, interdependence, and coexistence—using the power of judgment as a guide to form the ultimate attack. Even in the Divine Realm, only the Five God Kings working together could achieve this.

Even when other deities with similar attributes gathered and tried to imitate it, they failed due to insufficient comprehension.

The Five God Kings had attempted to teach deities with similar attributes to replicate this technique as a secret trump card, but even after personally imparting its profound mysteries, no deity had been able to fully grasp it.

Just based on this sword alone, the God of Destruction deemed that this human before him deserved the position of a First-Class God, and if he progressed further, he might even become a God King someday.

Especially that ability to directly perceive essence—even in the vast Divine Realm, neither the God of Destruction nor the Goddess of Life had seen anyone who could match it.

Looking at Chen Ming, the God of Destruction—who was not known for his good temper—rarely showed a gentle smile, while the Goddess of Life also looked at him warmly.

"We are the Gods of Destruction and Life, two of the Five God Kings of the Divine Realm."

Their voices resonated in unison, and with them, a surge of information entered Chen Ming's mind, revealing their true identities—what it meant to be a God King, the power structure of the Divine Realm, and the classifications and disparities among the different levels of deities.

To the two God Kings, this was merely a simple introduction, fearing that Chen Ming might not understand. But to Chen Ming, the information was immensely significant.

Facing the two God Kings, who had withdrawn their divine pressure and now appeared as ordinary people before him, Chen Ming respectfully bowed—a customary gesture among senior Soul Masters in Douluo Continent. However, the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life remained indifferent.

At their level, mere etiquette was meaningless—just as there was no divine position in the Divine Realm associated with etiquette. Deities cared about something far more fundamental—talent and power.

In their eyes, Chen Ming's power was insignificant, but his talent was astonishing, enough to leave them deeply impressed. Thus, they didn't concern themselves with formalities.

"Human, you have great talent. Do you wish to become a god?"

The God of Destruction was not one for elaborate words; he directly expressed his thoughts to Chen Ming.

Raising his right hand, a pair of illusory twin hammers appeared in his palm. Then, as if recalling something, he casually tossed his Destruction Scepter into the void and reached out with his left hand—suddenly, a purple crystal materialized.

Even though it had been greatly reduced in size, Chen Ming instantly recognized that this was the same crystal he had once seen in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's treasury.

Dark purple divine power surged from the God of Destruction, invading the crystal. The moment the crystal shattered, a broken spear tip floated above his palm. Under his divine power, the shattered artifact now had a phantom-like long shaft, and it's once flickering aura stabilized.

Gazing at the long spear, the God of Destruction sighed softly, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

"Ah... Thunder God will never return after all."

The Thunder God had been the God of Destruction's most trusted subordinate, arguably the strongest First-Class God below the God Kings. His loyalty to the God of Destruction was unparalleled, making him the most formidable enforcer in the Divine Realm.

Thunder God's demise had been something the God of Destruction had desperately tried to prevent, but despite exhausting all efforts, he failed to restore Thunder God's shattered divine soul. He could only preserve a portion of Thunder God's divine power and weapon fragments, nurturing them by his side for countless years.

After ages of effort, he had barely managed to restore most of Thunder God's divine position.

With a wave of his hands, the God of Destruction placed the giant twin hammers (God of Strength) and long spear (God of Thunder) before Chen Ming.

Chen Ming could sense that these two divine weapons carried divine positions that were now fully open to him—if he chose to inherit either, he would be welcomed.

Even Thunder God's artifact, which had previously repelled him due to conflicting attributes, no longer rejected him.

"God of Destruction, I wish to achieve godhood through my strength."

To be honest, when presented with two First-Class God positions to choose from, Chen Ming was indeed tempted.

But only for a moment. He quickly suppressed his emotions, clasped his hands, and respectfully responded to the God of Destruction.

"Achieve godhood on your own? Not bad. With your talent, such ambition is expected."

Hearing Chen Ming's reply, the God of Destruction found it both unexpected and reasonable.

With such talent, becoming a god was inevitable. With proper guidance, the Divine Realm would undoubtedly gain a new First-Class God—a beneficial outcome for the realm.

As an ancient God King, someone ambitious about expanding the Divine Realm, the God of Destruction would not simply stand by and watch as Chen Ming achieved godhood on his own.

Even though Chen Ming had refused his offer, he still wished to help this extraordinarily talented human.

With a casual gesture, he extracted two forces from the divine weapons, sending them into Chen Ming's spiritual sea.

The moment they entered, Chen Ming understood what they were.

[God of Strength's Seven Trials, God of Thunder's Seven Trials.]

Both divine trials were sealed, meaning Chen Ming could activate them whenever he wished. Their levels were fixed—Seven Trials was the absolute limit where one could reap benefits without obligations.

Soul Masters had to complete eight trials to become a High Priest and nine trials to become a god. However, with seven trials, he could gain immense advantages without any commitments.

Although Chen Ming was confident in reaching godhood on his own, having backers would undoubtedly make things much easier.

After ensuring that the God of Destruction genuinely had good intentions, Chen Ming pondered for a few seconds, then separated a portion of his spiritual essence and presented it to the two Divine Kings.

If it had been just the God of Destruction, he might have hesitated. But with the Goddess of Life—whose benevolence was well-documented in the original story—he felt more assured.

After all, as the manifestation of the Ancient Tree of Life, she was the embodiment of compassion.
