Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 253: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

"The power of a Titled Douluo is immense, and even after death, some of it dissipates. Over the course of ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent, thousands of Titled Douluo have been buried in the Douluo Hall. Some had their soul bones removed before their deaths, but many entered the hall either without their soul bones removed or with soul bones that couldn't be removed."

"Every generation of the Pope, the Worships, the High Priests, every Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and even historical Titled Douluo without affiliations, those from small families, and some from the Upper Three Sects of certain eras—"

"Just the number of Ultimate Douluo buried there exceeds a hundred, most of whom are from our Angel Clan. Can you imagine how much power has been accumulated within over ten thousand years?"

"And while the status of the Spirit Hall has changed over time, transforming from a religious power to an independent entity outside the two great empires, becoming essentially a nation within a nation, the status of the Douluo Hall has remained nearly unchanged. For ten thousand years, it has been the shared faith of soul masters."

"In the era when the Angel God gradually faded, soul masters' faith in the Douluo Hall even surpassed their faith in the Angel God. Even Titled Douluo and soul masters who opposed the Spirit Hall did not abandon their reverence for the Douluo Hall. Historically, many Titled Douluo who had strained relations with the Spirit Hall came to the Douluo Hall before their deaths, asking to be buried there."

"Can you guess how much faith has accumulated in the Douluo Hall over ten thousand years? According to the Angel Clan's estimations, the faith accumulated in the Douluo Hall over ten thousand years likely surpasses the amount the Angel God had when ascending to godhood by several times, even tenfold."

Qian Daoliu's words were calm, but they sent shivers down Chen Ming's spine.

Thousands of Titled Douluo. Nearly a hundred Ultimate Douluo.

The combined years of the soul rings on these individuals would exceed a million. The sources of top-tier martial souls and super martial souls are countless. Among them, there must also be divine-level martial souls and ultimate martial souls. Adding the soul bones and external soul bones that couldn't be removed from these bodies, their combined age would easily surpass tens of millions of years.

If you then factor in luck, laws, and various scattered special powers, the total becomes incalculable.

Even if only a tenth of that power remains, it would be enough to create a second-tier god—or even higher—on Douluo Continent.

Ten thousand years of faith, even faith that transcends affiliations. The accumulation over ten thousand years is terrifying.

The faith alone—nearly ten times the power of the Angel God's at the time of ascension—combined with the power of thousands of Titled Douluo and nearly a hundred Ultimate Douluo (most of whom are High Priests aligned with the Angel God)—if activated, it could likely create a God King from nothing in the Divine Realm.

It's worth noting that after inheriting the Sea God's god position, Tang San relied on a ten-thousand-year monopoly of faith on the Douluo Continent to elevate the Sea God's position to the level of a God King. However, the faith and devotion received by the Sea God were certainly incomparable to that of the Angel God.

In other words, barring unforeseen circumstances or disruptions to the plan, the Angel God could have long since achieved the position of God King simply by relying on the faith and power accumulated through the Douluo Hall and Spirit Hall.

Because there hadn't been any recent deaths of Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent in the past few decades (except Qian Xunji), the Douluo Hall hadn't had any new additions in a long time. As a result, Chen Ming had subconsciously overlooked this background detail, which was barely mentioned in the original story.

After all, the Douluo Hall was mentioned only in passing. It wasn't depicted in the plot, so it was easy to ignore.

But thinking about it this way, Chen Ming realized that if the God of Asura was targeting the ten-thousand-year accumulation within Douluo Hall, it made perfect sense.

This accumulation, once activated, would propel Douluo Star significantly closer to becoming a Divine Star. The level cap of Douluo Star might instantly rise by 20 levels, from level 99 to level 119. The planet itself could nurture countless third-tier and second-tier gods without divine positions.

Even for a God King, such a massive accumulation of energy would undoubtedly provide a substantial boost in power.

Looking at Chen Ming's reaction, Qian Daoliu silently nodded before making an unexpected suggestion.

"Xiao Ming, would you be willing to go take a look inside the Douluo Hall on my behalf?"

"Although peeking into the Douluo Hall is prohibited—it's a rule passed down by the Angel God and jointly upheld by every generation of the Pope, the Worships, and the High Priests—now that the Angel God has likely fallen, and Douluo World is being watched by the Divine Realm, there's little point in continuing to follow this old rule. If we stubbornly cling to it, the ten-thousand-year accumulation of Douluo World may fall into the wrong hands."

Qian Daoliu's eyes were filled with hesitation. Saying this was no different from betraying the rules he had followed all his life. But now, knowing the Angel God may have perished, he could no longer act as he once did.

For the sake of his ancestors, his faith, and his granddaughter, and to protect Douluo World, Qian Daoliu was willing to completely burn his soul and lifelong dignity.

Qian Daoliu stood up, gazing at the Angelic Sacred Sword on the ground. After a long moment of staring, the sword slowly floated up. Its usual divine radiance and flames were absent, and its aura as a divine weapon was concealed. It looked like an ordinary longsword as it landed in Chen Ming's hands, signifying Qian Daoliu's agreement to this transgressive act.

Chen Ming felt the sealed divine power of the God of Destruction within him and the Soul Devouring Medal that had already fully charged and could be activated at any time. After thinking for a long time, he finally agreed to Qian Daoliu's request.

After all, if any danger arose, he could not only unleash divine techniques but, if pushed, could directly summon the God of Destruction to fight on his behalf. His life was guaranteed.

Qian Daoliu and Chen Ming discussed how to proceed.

Simply put, Qian Daoliu would create a diversion by publicly extracting soul bones from the corpses of soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest.

This time, the Spirit Hall had recovered three hundred-thousand-year soul beast corpses, seven or eight ninety-thousand-year corpses, over twenty seventy-to-eighty-thousand-year corpses, and dozens of fifty-thousand-year corpses. The soul bones produced by these high-quality soul beasts would be enough to capture the attention of the entire Spirit City.

During this time, Chen Ming would take the Angelic Sacred Sword and secretly enter the Douluo Hall, using the sword to open its gates.

Qian Daoliu would go to great lengths to hold everyone's attention for three days, ensuring no one focused on the Douluo Hall. Once Chen Ming exited, the Angelic Sacred Sword would return to Qian Daoliu's hand, signaling that Chen Ming had safely left the hall. If any message needed to be communicated, the sword could also act as a medium.

If Chen Ming didn't emerge within three days and the Angelic Sacred Sword didn't return, Qian Daoliu would forcibly open the Douluo Hall and announce the God of Asura's evil plans to all soul masters on Douluo Continent.

To be honest, although others often called Qian Daoliu a radical, Chen Ming felt that the Qian Daoliu before him was the true radical.

However, considering the possibility that the Angel God had fallen, Chen Ming also felt that this lifelong good-natured elder was already showing remarkable restraint by being a little radical.

Of course, before leaving, Qian Daoliu didn't forget to ask Chen Ming if he needed a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. Chen Ming temporarily declined.

Although the three hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were of excellent quality, they didn't suit him at the moment—his desires weren't that high.

"If possible, just save me a regular dragon-type soul bone. I'd like to study it."

After placing the still-unconscious and harmless Lou Gao in a bedroom within the Worship Hall, Chen Ming and Qian Daoliu began their plan.
