Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Has anything happened in this past year?

“That's right.” Ya Li stepped forward and said, “Xiao Yuan probably isn't aware of this yet, but half a year ago, the Federation also finalized the titles for those beyond the God-level.”

“God-level?” The seven old demons looked blank.

“Didn't Xu Yuan tell you?” Ya Li looked surprised.

Surely they would have talked about this during the year, right?

Xu Yuan blinked.

This has nothing to do with me. To prevent these seven old demons from being affected when researching Destruction and the Origin of Life, I sent them to the Dreamscape early on.

“The Soul Master world has now broken through its original limitations. Ming-ge was the first to break through the God-level, and even broke through three ranks in a row, directly crossing the God-level and True God-level to enter the Super God-level.”

The seven old demons widened their eyes, as if listening to a fairy tale.

The changes in the Abyss situation, Yun Ming's breakthrough, the opening of the Underworld, the arrival of a new era for Soul Masters—all of this sounded like a fantasy.

“Has the outside world changed so much in just a few years?”

Devil Island has some contact with the outside world, but the frequency of contact is measured in years. The last time was ten years ago.

“Master, what were the titles you mentioned earlier for those beyond the God-level?” Xu Yuan asked.

“Actually, they're just honorifics. The Federation Council had been preparing for this for a long time, but it hadn't been finalized because they hadn't reached a unified consensus from all parties.”

“Half a year ago, the Council announced the unified honorifics. The God-level is now called Venerable.”

Title Douluos are all addressed as Your Excellency, which is a tradition in the Soul Master world.

Now, those beyond the God-level will be called Venerable.

“God-level is Venerable, True God-level is addressed with a name plus Venerable, for example, Ming-ge is Ming Venerable. You can also choose an honorary title for yourself, similar to the Title Douluo's title. The Super God-level and above is Holy Venerable, similar to the Title Douluo's title.”

Xu Yuan was speechless.

Is this tradition?

The Federation Council is really bored, even making regulations for these things.

However, this should also be to standardize the order of the Soul Master world and facilitate the distinction between different levels of God-levels in the future. It's useful, but it's only been a little over a year since the path to God-level appeared, and they've already finalized these things. It's clear that the Federation Council is indeed bored.

“The difference between an honorary title and a title is that an honorary title involves the distribution of faith.”

“Faith?” Xu Yuan's eyes began to become serious.

“That's right, faith.” Ya Li's tone was serious as she said, “The Federation Council believes that God-levels should correspond to Gods. Since True God-levels correspond to the third-level Gods of the God Realm, True God-levels can begin to try to come into contact with the power of faith.”

Chapter 524: The Power of Faith

“Faith?” Xu Yuan asked in surprise.

He didn't expect the Federation Council to propose such a thing.

“That's right, the power of faith. We actually don't know much about the secrets of the Gods. Those who aren't Gods won't know the power and abilities of Gods, but even what we do know is already very exaggerated, including eternal life and the ability to increase the age of Soul Rings at will.”

Ya Li's expression was very serious, because this topic itself was the most noteworthy in the entire Soul Master world.

“Increasing the age of Soul Rings is one thing. The Spirit Transfer Pagoda has now developed the Spirit Ascension Platform, so there's still a path to increasing the age of Soul Rings. However, eternal life is something our Soul Master world has never had.”

“Not only that, but in the history of the Soul Master world, Limit Douluos could only live to be about three hundred years old at most. However, the answers obtained from the mouths of more than five God Priest that the Federation has contacted are completely different. Limit Douluos can live up to a thousand years.”

Xu Yuan looked at Ya Li.

He was really taking it to heart.

Because he also knew about this problem, but he had never seriously thought about it. Now, he didn't expect to hear it from Ya Li, and it seemed that this problem had always been a contradiction that the top echelons of the Soul Master world were concerned about.

Xu Yuan noticed Ya Li's wording.

From the mouths of more than five God Priests.

In other words, the saying that Limit Douluos can live for a thousand years only exists in the mouths of God Priests.

Or rather, it only exists among the Soul Masters of the tribes protected by the Gods.

“Unfortunately, since the establishment of the Federation, no more places of God inheritance have been discovered. What I just said is the information that the Federation has gathered from different angles over the years.”

Whether it's archaeology or other means, in short, the information that the Federation has gathered is like this.

“In the records of the tribes protected by the Gods, Soul Masters can have a lifespan of three hundred years upon reaching the Title Douluo level. After that, for every level they increase, they can have a hundred more years of lifespan. According to this theory, a level 99 Limit Douluo can have a lifespan of one thousand one hundred years.” Even though Ya Li had known about this theory for a long time, she still spoke with an unbelievable tone when explaining it.

She thought that Xu Yuan had been focused on cultivation before and hadn't understood this information, but in reality, Xu Yuan was very clear about this theory.

“However, the actual situation is that Title Douluos only have a lifespan of about one hundred and twenty years. If there are no internal injuries and they take care of themselves properly, one hundred and fifty years is not a problem. As for Limit Douluos, they can live to be over two hundred years old if they don't fight to the death and focus on health, and can reach three hundred years.”

Three hundred years is just a limit number.

It's conceivable how exaggerated the one thousand one hundred years that the priests of the various Gods spoke of is.

Even in their mouths, breaking through to Title Douluo grants a lifespan of three hundred years.

It's simply a fantasy.

However, this statement wasn't just said by one Sea God High Priest, but also other God Priests who had left behind relevant information, which made it impossible not to take it seriously.

Unfortunately, over thousands of years, the Soul Master world has not solved this problem.

Now, the path to God-level has appeared, and Soul Master becoming Gods is no longer a luxury. Someone has finally set their sights on eternal life.

Gods can live forever, so what about ordinary God-level Soul Masters who have lost their Godhood?

Is it possible to explore the secret of Soul Master lifespan from the perspective of God-level Soul Masters?

“Has the Federation launched any research projects?” Xu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Ya Li shook her head.

She smiled bitterly and said, “The Federation hasn't proposed any substantive plans regarding the lifespan issue, or even mentioned it. It's just that I personally believe that the power of faith may be related to lifespan, so I'm giving you a little science lesson.”

Ya Li looked serious and said to Xu Yuan, “Xiao Yuan, you're still young and don't need to worry about these things. What you should focus on are the other uses of the power of faith, such as cultivation. The corresponding faith will definitely be beneficial to mastering the corresponding power.”

“Actually, your teacher's condensed demigod position also contains the power of faith. He occupied the first position on the continent for sixty years. Although he didn't harvest faith like a god, he gathered a lot of it invisibly.”

Xu Yuan's heart stirred.

Indeed, his teacher's condensed demigod position also had this aspect.

“Xiao Yuan, the road to godhood ultimately leads to opening the God Realm, which is also the path to becoming a god, so the power of faith still needs to be valued.”

The path to godhood ultimately leads to opening the God Realm, otherwise, one cannot achieve the God King realm.

This is the general trend, and also the way out that the strong in the universe have found.

At least currently, the Soul Master world, and even Xu Yuan, only know that the God Realm can avoid the suppression of the laws of the universe, allowing cultivators to take another step and reach the God King realm.

And opening the God Realm requires understanding the power of faith.

Ya Li obviously set Xu Yuan's future very high. In her eyes, Xu Yuan and Yun Ming would both be challenging that realm.

So her tone was very serious, and she spoke to Xu Yuan very earnestly about the power of faith.

In fact, even when she said before that the relationship between lifespan and the power of faith was just her own opinion, Xu Yuan didn't feel that it was wrong.

In the entire Douluo Continent's Soul Master world, the person most familiar with the power of faith, besides Yun Ming, is probably her.

Even Yun Ming's understanding can be said to be hers.

So, if she says that the power of faith is related to lifespan, then the answer is basically confirmed.

It's just how they are related, and how to use the power of faith to extend lifespan is the key, which is what Ya Li hasn't figured out.

“Teacher, I know, but I'm not a true god-level yet.” Xu Yuan said helplessly.

Ya Li shook her head.

“No, collecting faith doesn't mean establishing that so-called title. It's just that true god-level beings begin to establish titles, and the Federation will record it for you, and promote the established type of faith from an official perspective.”

“If you are strong, so strong that everyone knows it, or become a savior, making outstanding contributions to the Soul Master world, becoming famous, you can gather a huge amount of faith.”

Xu Yuan listened to what Ya Li said, and slowly nodded.

“It seems that I have to be more high-profile in the future.”

Ya Li nodded, revealing a look of gratification.

That's what she meant.

“Being high-profile is necessary, but it also needs to be meaningful.”

Xu Yuan naturally knew this. Under Ya Li's reminder, he also realized that he could start doing some major things that would affect the entire Soul Master world.

After all, his strength can now be said to be second only to Yun Ming, and above everyone else.

And Yun Ming is his teacher.

This gave him enough confidence.

“So, Saint Venerable is the title for Super God-level?” The Abomination Old Demon's expression was a little ugly, and at this moment he was cursing the Federal Parliament in his heart.

What name couldn't they have chosen? They had to give away the title of Saint.

“Seven seniors, this place is still called Seven Saints Abyss. Your seven states are different from ordinary people. Although there is suffering, it is also a blessing in disguise. Being able to exist in this form for a long time, perhaps the Super God-level is not impossible for you. Moreover, in Shrek's history, the contributions of you seven seniors can indeed be called Saint. Once you achieve the Super God-level, the word 'Venerable' will be added after Saint.”

The Abomination Old Demon immediately beamed with joy.

“You little brat know how to talk.”

Feng Wuyu was speechless for a moment.

He himself did have some psychological shadows regarding the seven old demons, but what Xu Yuan said was also correct.

“Since Xiao Yuan said so, then this demi-plane will be called Seven Saints Abyss.”

The seven old demons happily entered the Seven Saints Abyss, preparing to adapt to their new home.

Xu Yuan, Ya Li, and Feng Wuyu also entered it.

“Seven seniors.”

“Hey, calling us seniors all the time is too distant, just call us by our titles directly.”

“What I want to tell you is that this Seven Saints Abyss is not exclusively occupied by you seven. It's just that this place will be used as a place for military training for students in the future. As for the content of the military training, it will need to be improved in the future. The specific implementation will be discussed later.

In addition to military training, the Seven Saints Abyss also has a key purpose in my plan, which is to be responsible for providing a resurrection place for the Dragon Clan's revival.”

“Dragon Clan revival?” The Devouring Old Demon looked blank.

What does the Dragon Clan's revival have to do with us?

“This is what I promised to the nine Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan. They should have thoroughly researched the Soul Spirit system by now. Next, they will gradually transform the remnant souls and remaining Dragon Clan bloodlines in Dragon Valley. At that time, the newborn Dragon Souls will appear in the form of Soul Spirits, and will gradually transform from Soul Spirit form to Soul Beast form. This process will all take place in the Seven Saints Abyss.”

Xu Yuan differentiated and imprinted his own Life and Death Runes, leaving them in the Seven Saints Abyss, also to use the process of the Dragon Clan constantly reviving dragons to improve them with the natural evolution of this demi-plane.

This is just the rune he separated.

When he retrieves it later, the changes in the rune will all turn into his insights.

“Wouldn't it be better to let them do it in Dragon Valley?” The Devouring Old Demon wiped his mouth and couldn't help but say.

“The revived dragons will return to Dragon Valley, but the environment in Dragon Valley is not suitable for revival, so it will still be carried out in the Seven Saints Abyss.”

“Alright, anyway, this Seven Saints Abyss is so big, giving them a little space is not unacceptable.”

Xu Yuan nodded.

Leaving the Seven Saints Abyss, Xu Yuan specifically went to learn about the events that had occurred in the Federation in the past year.

He himself was also a little negligent. In this era of drastic changes, he directly went into seclusion for a year, and didn't pay attention to the outside world. It seemed like he had suddenly become an old antique.

After understanding, Xu Yuan smiled bitterly.

He really had become an old antique.

Nine months ago, the Federation released the latest black technology, the Star Dou Battle Network.

The Star Dou Battle Network, in Xu Yuan's understanding, is a virtual world. Through a peripheral device called the Star Dou Ship, which is a simulation pod, one can enter the Star Dou Battle Network. Currently, the only mode open in the Star Dou Battle Network is simulated combat.

But even this one function made the Soul Masters of the entire Federation rejoice.

Soul Masters are for fighting.

However, accidents always occur in real battles, so the appearance of the Star Dou Battle Network gave many Soul Masters opportunities.

Nine months ago, the Star Dou Battle Network was released, and major legions, major forces, and different cities all uniformly distributed a large number of Star Dou Ships, but even so, they were very limited.
