Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 274: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

In the original work, Sea God explained that it was due to a series of fortunate coincidences that his martial soul was elevated to the level of a super-divine weapon. Chen Ming was aware of this. However, because Sea God holds a rather special position in the original story, Chen Ming asked Angel God's divine consciousness about the matter of Sea God. Angel God's evaluation of Sea God was neither entirely positive nor negative; it gave off a rather peculiar feeling.

"Sea God has impressive strength, but his personality is overly broad-minded, or perhaps overly emotional. While his Sea God Trident is stronger than my Angelic Holy Sword, his power is inferior to mine. Back when he became a god, he once tried to expand his faith on the mainland and ended up clashing with my successor."

"At that time, although his strength wasn't bad, it was still no match for my high priest, who was empowered by my divine trial. He was defeated and driven back. After cultivating for hundreds of years and accumulating faith to its peak, breaking through to the demigod level, he came back to challenge my successor again."

"He was indeed strong, and that generation's high priest lost to him. He even managed to steal some of the remaining faith energy and divine power on the mainland through unknown means. However, at that time, my true body was still in the divine realm. Sensing this, I descended and gave Sea God a beating."

"Since Sea God ascended to the divine realm, relations between him and my true body have been somewhat strained, though not to the point of outright hostility requiring weapons and bloodshed."

"I believe there is a secret behind Sea God's trident, but I'm not sure what it is. Perhaps, like me, he inherited some remnants from a predecessor during his ascension to godhood."

Angel God didn't harbor any particular malice or goodwill toward Sea God. Perhaps, as gods who both derived their faith from the Douluo Continent, the fact that Sea God and Angel God didn't engage in a life-or-death battle was already the result of restraint on both sides.

After all, the source of a god's power is faith. With enough faith, a god's position can be elevated. For gods like Angel God and Sea God, taking it a step further would mean becoming a God King. If given the choice, neither would abandon their faith.

However, the faith of the Douluo Continent is finite—once consumed, there's less to go around. If one god completely suppressed another, it would inevitably lead to one party becoming overwhelmingly dominant. Unless the two gods fought to settle their differences, with one becoming the other's subordinate or being subdued entirely, their relationship would be difficult to progress meaningfully.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Ming also asked about the matter of Rakshasa God. However, when Angel God, who had remained emotionally indifferent while discussing Sea God, heard about Rakshasa, her emotions noticeably shifted.

"I made some mistakes in the past. I let some people down and hurt others, and the source of Rakshasa was born from that. She hates me, and there's nothing I can do about it. However, her power is excessively evil. If left unchecked to spread across the Douluo Continent, it would have had a massive impact on humanity at the time."

"After I became a god, my high priest, under my orders, suppressed the Rakshasa lineage for thousands of years. Over time, the soul master who inherited the Rakshasa God position, built upon generations of predecessors, eventually completed their accumulation and became Rakshasa God."

"Strictly speaking, Rakshasa God is not an individual entity. Rather, she is the product of generations of soul masters' hatred for me, mixed with countless negative forces. She is a miracle born from a series of coincidences."

"The Rakshasa God who ascended to the divine realm is, in my opinion, no less talented than I am—perhaps even similar to me back then. But I didn't have much direct contact with her."

"However, I suspect that Rakshasa God's divine position contains a part of me." At this point, Angel God hesitated, clearly unwilling to reveal such things even after becoming a god.

"I once bore humanity's vengeance, anger, and hatred—these negative emotions. Later, I gradually stripped this part out of my divine position, eventually becoming Angel God. But I cannot deny that a significant part of my original strength came from this."

"I originally thought this power slowly dissipated as I stripped it away. But later, I seemed to sense those very forces in Rakshasa God's divine position. It's even possible that the negative energy I removed became the core of Rakshasa God's divine position."

"..."

"In any case, I don't know for sure; I'm just speculating. Keep this to yourself and don't spread it around. In essence, Rakshasa God is a deity who stands as my opposite."

These were ancient secrets. If not for the sunk cost of her involvement with Chen Ming, Angel God wouldn't have mentioned such matters at all. At this point, she seemed to lose interest, reverting to her divine beast form and lying down on the ground.

"Develop your second martial soul well; it will become a great asset for you in the future. The space within the Douluo Hall isn't suitable for you to stay long. You still carry the divine trial left behind by the God of Destruction. Although it hasn't been activated yet, staying too long might risk exposure."

"Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I'll contact the Angelic Holy Sword to send you out."

"Angel God, I'd like to know about the technique for divine-bestowed soul rings and martial soul modification. I think I might need them in the future."

"Also, Angel God, this is a new cultivation method I created by referencing human meridians, soul master meditation techniques, and various immortal herbs. It's designed to more effectively improve the speed of soul power cultivation. Could you take a look?"

Although Chen Ming could handle these matters himself, he saw no reason to waste the opportunity to use a guide. Angel God, with her millennia of accumulated knowledge and experience with countless martial souls and top-tier soul masters, was the perfect guide. Passing up this chance to extract her expertise would've felt like a huge loss.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Angel God took the wisp of spiritual energy Chen Ming handed over and began analyzing it. After a moment, she nodded.

"This is an innovative idea. In theory, it can double the cultivation speed of low-level soul masters and even allow ordinary people without soul power to cultivate. However, its general applicability is somewhat limited."

"The spiritual power requirement for this technique is a bit high—you may not have noticed. Soul masters below rank 30 won't have the mental power to support such multi-threaded meridian operations. At least a rank 40 or 50 is needed to fully benefit. While ordinary people could theoretically cultivate it, their lack of mental power would make even entry-level progress difficult."

"I can't adjust this directly, but I've simplified an entry-level version for you. Its effects aren't as good, but it has lower requirements. Not only can low-level soul masters use it, but ordinary people can also cultivate it to some extent. Of course, it might take them a few years to get started."

"Additionally, here are some of my cultivation insights, along with the techniques you requested."

"Your ideas are excellent, but your innate talent is so high that even when you lower your standards to think about ordinary people, the bar is still quite high."

"When I created systematic meditation techniques back then, I considered the differences in individual aptitude and subdivided the methods into several levels for easier progression. Unfortunately, after I became a god, my successors monopolized the higher-level meditation techniques."
