Chapter 218 Conflict in Cognitive Recognition of Douluo's Lifespan
🕑 Added 2024-07-11 19:24:59 +0000 UTCTang Xiao's death didn't have much impact on Su Wen.
There was no sense of vengeance.
Nor was there the thrill of retaliation after being assassinated.
After all, everything was within calculations.
Regarding the Clear Sky Sect, Su Wen didn't express a hostile attitude, but hostility between both sides had clearly formed.
To wipe out the entire sect for the sake of one person's revenge seemed too extreme to Su Wen, so he never considered annihilating the Clear Sky Sect.
However, Clear Sky Sect was undoubtedly too powerful. Their six Titled Douluos even clashed constantly with Spirit Hall, behaving arrogantly.
Even towards the powerful Spirit Hall, their attitude is such. What about towards Su Wen, who possesses their sect's six pieces of Ten Thousand Years Old Spirit Bones, including two top-quality Spirit Bones of the sect's inheritance, as a Spirit King?
Currently, with Clear Sky Sect losing two Titled Douluos, if Spirit Hall seizes the opportunity today to launch an attack on Clear Sky Sect, undoubtedly, Clear Sky Sect would truly fall.
In that case, there would be no more hostile relationship with Su Wen.
Of course, if Clear Sky Sect continues to oppose Su Wen under Tang San's influence, then this sect really has no reason to exist.
As for Tang San, Su Wen will certainly kill him, but he is not in a hurry.
Without the inheritance of the Sea God, without that nanny-style nurturing, even if Tang San still coincidentally obtains the inheritance of the Asura God, he cannot reach the divine level before thirty years old.
Records of becoming a god in their twenties are all fallacies from the beginning.
In the original work, anyone who became a god before thirty years old was all fed with resources from the beginning to the end.
Of course, Su Wen wasn't in a hurry either, just deciding not to act on Tang San for the time being because of Void Douluo's face.
When Su Wen's strength completely surpasses Void Douluo's or when he accomplishes his goal through Void Douluo and connects with the God's Inheritance behind him, he will not spare Tang San anymore.
Su Wen invited Void Douluo.
Void Douluo did not show any signs of refusal either. With spatial fluctuations, he disappeared into the air, appearing elsewhere, and erupted with Soul Power fluctuations so Su Wen could sense his location.
Su Wen also headed to Void Douluo's location.
Ning Fengzhi intercepted Su Wen, hesitating to speak, while Ning Rongrong looked at Su Wen with a slight hint of worry.
"Brother Xiaowen, be safe."
"Don't worry, since he remained indifferent when Tang Xiao died, he has already made his decision." Su Wen patted Ning Rongrong's head and said.
Even so, the others remained vigilant.
As Su Wen disappeared from view to privately converse with Void Douluo, Ning Fengzhi and the others remained on guard. If they sensed any battle fluctuations from that direction, they would certainly react immediately.
...
"You killed the person I intended to protect right in front of me, and yet you come alone to find me," Void Douluo said with interest.
"I believe Senior Void had already made his decision before. Otherwise, you could have acted before Tang Xiao died," Su Wen said calmly.
He waved his hand, indicating that this topic was meaningless, and continued, "Let's get straight to the point."
Upon hearing this, Void Douluo's expression turned serious.
"You are very outstanding. However, I must say, according to the guidance I have received, your path is very difficult. It may even end up fruitless. With your talents, if you do not forge your own path and seek a divine inheritance, your chances of becoming a god are significant."
Now he also knew that Su Wen seemed to have an understanding of divine inheritances. He didn't beat around the bush and directly revealed many secrets unknown to most Spirit Masters.
Su Wen's demeanor confirmed this as well. He didn't show any hint of doubt regarding any divine inheritances.
Void Douluo stared at Su Wen, waiting for his response.
"I am more suited to my own path. I won't give up on creating a divine position for myself. However, for success, it's essential to communicate with existing deities. If possible, I would also like to find ways to contact some deities," Su Wen said.
Void Douluo's eyes flickered, and the silver mark on his forehead also shimmered.
Su Wen waited quietly.
"You want to accept assessments from other deities, but not the God's Assessment?" Void Douluo asked slowly.
"That's right."
Accepting the God's Assessment inevitably comes with time limits. Completing all assessments would lead to godhood, with a minimum timeline.
Su Wen didn't believe he could condense his own divine position within such a short time.
Could he still create his own divine position after becoming a god?
Su Wen felt it was highly unlikely.
Therefore, he had to give up on assessments from other deities.
If he couldn't be sure he wouldn't receive the God's Assessment, Su Wen wouldn't easily attempt to contact the other party's inheritance.
This was also why, although he had already reached the Spirit Emperor level and his Soul Power had reached level sixty-four, he had not yet begun any plans to seek a God's Inheritance.
He did know about Sea God Island and could also find out its location and how to get there through Spirit Hall's channels.
However, Su Wen was uncertain whether there would be an opportunity to leave Sea God Island once he arrived, and he feared being forcibly subjected to a Sea God God's Assessment.
Perhaps he was too confident, too arrogant, but Su Wen expressed that such considerations about the future should be boldly assumed.
"Do you know how long it took for the recent individual who successfully condensed a divine position and became a god on Douluo Continent on their own?" Void Douluo's silver mark on his forehead continued to flicker, as if transmitting some information to him.
Su Wen pretended to be puzzled and shook his head.
Although he had some understanding from memory, the sources were actually rumors, and Spirit Hall's records were not detailed. Therefore, if he could get exact data from Void Douluo, he would be very willing.
"The recent individual who became a god on their own is the Sea God. He spent his entire life fighting in the oceans, subduing races one by one, and with the faith of the entire ocean, he broke through to the divine level," Void Douluo said with reverence.
Even if he wasn't a follower of the Sea God, the achievements of any deity who wasn't explicitly hostile were worthy of praise.
"Sea God spent his whole life, a full one thousand and one years, to achieve the position of deity," Void Douluo said.
Su Wen silently nodded to himself; this information was consistent with what he knew.
Over a thousand years... In today's Douluo Continent, the lifespan of Titled Douluos is truly long.
Su Wen had learned different versions from various sources, but most versions did not mention that the lifespan of Titled Douluos could be so long.
Seemingly sensing Su Wen's contemplation, Void Douluo explained, "In theory, after Spirit Masters break through to Titled Douluo, they have a lifespan of three hundred years. Each subsequent level increase adds another hundred years, but after reaching level ninety-five, each level increase can take up to a hundred years. The bottleneck from level ninety-eight to ninety-nine might even require six hundred years of rigorous cultivation for a chance to break through."
"However, based on the intelligence I know, shouldn't the lifespan of Titled Douluos be shorter?" Su Wen still expressed his doubts.
