Chapter 910: A Genius's Suggestion
..."Oh, Divine Trial." Chen Huaian's face was expressionless.
"Oh~ Divine Trial..." Li Qingran nodded thoughtfully.
Little Rabbit: "..."
Wait, what kind of reaction is that from these two!
That's a Divine Trial! Why do they seem completely indifferent!
Don't they have even a shred of reverence for the deities?
Li Qingran didn't notice Little Rabbit's changing expression. She frowned in thought for a moment, then said, "So, I must accept the trials set by these deities to obtain a god-bestowed World Ring, and by passing a deity's trial, one inherits that deity's Divine Position... is that how I should understand it?"
Little Rabbit nodded. "Yes, that's exactly it."
Hearing this, Li Qingran pouted her little mouth and hugged Chen Huaian's arm. "Master, I don't want to inherit the Divine Positions of those gods."
Chen Huaian was taken aback. "Then what do you want to do?"
Li Qingran: "I... I want to inherit *your* Divine Position."
Chen Huaian: "..."
Little Rabbit, Jadewater Jiao, Purple-Gold Flame Bear: "..."
Seriously, is that even human language?
Chen Huaian patted Li Qingran's head, smiling. "But, your Master doesn't have a Divine Position..."
"Then Master can go beat one up and claim it." Li Qingran's eyes sparkled, a mischievous grin curling at the corner of her mouth. "Master, you need a Million-Year World Ring to fully unseal your power, right? So, let's go participate in Divine Trials to get god-bestowed World Rings. But we'll only take the rings, not inherit the positions. Once your power is completely restored, you can just go beat a Divine Position into submission. Then you can set a Divine Trial for your disciple, I'll take your trial, and inherit your Divine Position. How about that?"
Li Qingran blinked her big eyes, pouting and looking at Chen Huaian with an expectant gaze.
Her words sounded incredibly naive.
So much so that the faces of the hundred-thousand-year World Beasts beside them turned green.
But as Chen Huaian pondered it carefully...
Hiss—!
It seemed... it really was a damn viable plan.
There were so many deities in this Canglan World, so there must be many Divine Trials. He just needed to meet the deities' requirements to participate and obtain the god-bestowed World Rings.
He was confident that with his Golden Immortal strength, he could absolutely crush ninety-nine percent of the deities in the Canglan Realm. So why let Li Qingran inherit the positions of these trash gods?
That would simply be wasting the talent of his sweetheart disciple.
Looking at Chen Huaian, who was seriously considering it, Little Rabbit couldn't help but have an absurd thought—was this White-clothed Swordsman actually contemplating Li Qingran's proposal?
What did he think the myriad deities were?
World Ring ATMs?
Such behavior would inevitably anger the deities, and not just one of them!
She could almost picture the scene of Chen Huaian and Li Qingran being crushed by furious deities.
Even with two Million-Year World Rings, they would just be slightly larger ants before true deities.
"I think—" Chen Huaian clapped his hands together. "It's feasible!"
He gave Li Qingran a thumbs up. "Disciple, you're truly a genius! This idea of yours is absolutely brilliant!"
"Hehe!" Li Qingran felt a bit embarrassed by the praise, sticking out her tongue. "I'm just glad Master doesn't think my idea is childish."
"Childish? No!" Chen Huaian chuckled. "That's a grand ambition!"
He had to admit, Li Qingran's suggestion had directly opened up his thinking.
He turned his head to look at Little Rabbit, who was dumbfounded, and said calmly, "You said there are some prerequisite conditions to participate in a Divine Trial, right? What are they? Tell me."
Little Rabbit took a deep breath, looking at Chen Huaian with a strange expression. She was almost certain Chen Huaian intended to proceed exactly as Li Qingran suggested.
In good conscience, she felt she should try to dissuade him.
But then she thought, this White-clothed Swordsman before her was Tang Er's father's killer.
If Chen Huaian got himself killed, wouldn't that count as avenging Tang Er?
After all, having lived together day and night, it was still hard for her to simply let go of Tang Er.
Weighing these thoughts and seeing Chen Huaian's resolute demeanor, a bit of selfishness stirred in Little Rabbit's heart, suppressing her urge to persuade.
She answered truthfully, "The basic requirement for a Divine Trial is that the participating Battle Master must be a level 99 Legendary Battle Master. Not even one level short. Additionally, the Battle Soul of the participating Battle Master must be compatible with that deity's Divine Position. For example, to participate in the Fire God's Divine Trial, the Battle Soul must be related to fire... like a fire chicken, fire arrow, fireball... anything like that works."
Chen Huaian understood upon hearing this.
It was quite similar to the Immortal Positions in the Cangyun Realm.
What path you cultivate determines what kind of Immortal you become.
If the path you cultivate already has someone who has ascended to Immortality, then it depends on whose lineage is purer and whose understanding of the path is deeper.
Those who can master more of the path naturally become Immortal Officials, while others are just ordinary Immortals under that official's rule.
To completely master a certain path, one must comprehend it to the extreme, thereby surpassing other Immortals.
Of course, there was another path—that was to kill all the Immortals. Then, all lineages would belong to the one who killed them.
If Li Qingran participated in Divine Trials and accepted a Divine Position, she would ultimately just become a subordinate of some deity.
In that case, why not use these deities' god-bestowed World Rings to liberate his power? Then he could directly carve out a divine path through slaughter.
Seeing Chen Huaian frown, Little Rabbit thought he was pondering which deity's divine power was related to Li Qingran's Battle Soul.
Little did she know, Chen Huaian had already developed murderous intent towards the gods.
She scratched her head, kindly explaining, "Some deities aren't as strict about the compatibility between a Battle Master's Battle Soul and their divine power, as long as the Battle Master meets the other requirements. For example, deities with more abstract divine powers like the God of Death—participants in his Divine Trial can have any type of Battle Soul."
Chen Huaian's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
That kind was good.
He liked this type of hands-off deity who sets requirements and then doesn't micromanage.
If they encountered a particularly responsible deity, his and Li Qingran's plan really wouldn't be easy to execute.
After all, wouldn't any deity find it strange to see a participant wearing World Rings bestowed by other deities?
"This God of Death seems pretty good."
Chen Huaian stroked his chin, saying with great interest,
"Do you know where to go to participate in the God of Death's Divine Trial? The basic requirement of 'Legendary Battle Master' is definitely not a problem."
"Demon Tower City." Little Rabbit uttered the name of a place. "The God of Death's Divine Trial is in Demon Tower City. I'm not clear on the specific tests, but once you go to Demon Tower City, you'll naturally find out. However..." She paused, then continued, "I still have to remind you, the God of Death's Divine Trial has been openly available for over a thousand years. But to this day, no one has passed his trial, and no one has been able to inherit his Divine Position. The dangers involved are unknown. If you want to challenge the God of Death's Divine Trial, you must be prepared for utter damnation."
"Utter damnation?" Chen Huaian sneered.
The Sage of Earth Star, Taishang Laojun, was the only one who had nearly brought him to utter damnation.
No matter how strong this God of Death was, could he be stronger than the Sages of Earth Star?
In the end, he was just a deity of a small world.
He wanted to see what this God of Death's Divine Trial was all about.
"No time to delay." Chen Huaian made a decisive decision. "Let's depart, to Demon Tower City!"
