Chapter 227: with translation of chapter title

At this moment, Gu Xuan's heart was filled with doubt, but he could also infer something from the words of the Twin Kings and Evil God Lu Ya.

Translation: At this moment, Gu Xuan's heart was filled with doubt, but he could also infer some things from the words of the Twin Kings and Evil God Lu Ya.

Check: "Twin Kings" we translated as Twin Kings. "Evil God Lu Ya" as Evil God Lu Ya.

Afterwards, the Twin Kings and Evil God Lu Ya began to explain to Gu Xuan what had happened back then.

Translation: Afterwards, the Twin Kings and Evil God Lu Ya began explaining to Gu Xuan what had happened back then.

Originally, after the Dragon God ascended to the divine realm, his talent and potential were so heaven-defying that he hadn't yet solidified his divine position, yet his strength was already comparable to that of a god-king. Coupled with his unruly and defiant nature, refusing to submit, the spirit beast clan suffered oppression.

Translation: It turned out that after the Dragon God ascended to the Divine Realm, due to his heaven-defying talent and potential, he had not yet fully consolidated his god position, yet his strength was already comparable to that of a God King powerhouse; moreover, his nature was rebellious and unwilling to submit, so the soul beast clan suffered repression.

Because of the Evil God's malevolent nature, he acts solely on his mood, believing whatever he thinks is right is right, so he chose to help the Dragon God oppose the gods.

Translation: And the Evil God, because of his evil-natured disposition, acted solely according to his mood, deeming whatever he felt was right to be right, so he chose to help the Dragon God oppose the gods.

However, that battle was too shocking; the Dragon God's realm was not yet stabilized, and the Evil God blocked the siege of the five great god-kings for the Dragon God, but then he nearly perished, leaving only a trace of his origin that came to the Douluo Continent, where, by chance, it parasitized a white tiger.

Translation: But that battle was too shocking; the Dragon God's realm was not yet consolidated, and the Evil God blocked the siege of the Five Great God Kings for the Dragon God, then nearly perished, leaving only a trace of his origin that came to the Douluo Continent, where, by chance, it parasitized inside a white tiger's body.

From then on, the Evil God was struck from the divine registry, and this trace of his origin needed power to restore his consciousness, and even to return to his peak in the future. Thus, carrying this will, the white tiger hosting the Evil God's origin became the Dark Evil God Tiger, becoming a target everyone shouted to beat and kill.

Translation: From then on, the Evil God was struck from the records of the Divine Realm, and this trace of Evil God origin needed power to restore his divine consciousness, even to someday return to his peak; thus, carrying this will, the white tiger hosting the Evil God origin thus became the Dark Evil God Tiger, becoming a target everyone shouted to beat and kill.

Actually, the Evil God is not a bloodthirsty person, and the 'evil' in his name does not mean wickedness; it merely symbolizes his personality.

Translation: However, the Evil God is actually not a person who loves killing; the "evil" in Evil God does not mean evil, but is a symbol of his personality.

When Gu Xuan understood this information, he also came to grasp some matters of ancient Douluo Continent, though the Evil God and the Twin Kings were unwilling for him to reveal too much.

Translation: After Gu Xuan understood this information, he could also be said to have grasped some matters of the ancient Douluo Continent, except that the Evil God and the Twin Kings were unwilling for him to reveal too much.

It can be proven that the Evil God is as trustworthy as the Twin Kings, but this guy wants to use Gu Xuan to recover quickly, so as soon as he just regained a thread of divine consciousness, he tried to deceive Gu Xuan into accepting his inheritance.

Translation: But it can be proven that the Evil God, like the Twin Kings, is trustworthy; however, this guy wants to use Gu Xuan to recover quickly, so just as he had just restored a trace of divine consciousness, he wanted to deceive Gu Xuan into accepting his inheritance.

In this way, Gu Xuan's power could give him a share, allowing him to recover faster.

Translation: That way, Gu Xuan's power could give him a share, allowing him to recover faster.

It's worth mentioning that the Evil God also cultivated on his own, finally breaking through level 100 to become a god, a contemporary of the Destruction God King and the Asura God King, and he mastered the method of self-attained godhood.

Translation: Worth mentioning is that the Evil God also cultivated on his own, finally breaking through level 100 to become a god, being a contemporary of the Destruction God King and the Asura God King, and he mastered the method of self-cultivation to godhood.

Gu Xuan naturally also knows the method of self-attained godhood, such as using faith like the Angel God and Sea God, or receiving an inheritance.

Translation: Gu Xuan naturally also knows the method of self-cultivation to godhood, such as using faith like the Angel God and Sea God, or receiving an inheritance.

But the Evil God is neither of those; he relies on his own power to become a god, or rather, the five great god-kings all do so.

Translation: But the Evil God is neither of those; instead, he became a god by relying on his own power, or rather, the Five Great God Kings all did so.

In the original story, Tang San later became the enforcer of the divine realm, a god-king, entirely due to the support of the Asura God and Sea God's two divine positions.

Translation: And in the original story, Tang San later became able to be the Divine Realm's enforcer, becoming a God King, entirely due to the support of the two god positions of the Asura God and the Sea God.

Thus, upon hearing this news, Gu Xuan is naturally delighted, for previously he had considered inheriting the Asura God King's throne, which is far more appealing than the Sea God's.

Translation: Therefore, Gu Xuan, upon receiving this news, was naturally delighted, for previously he had been thinking of inheriting the Asura God King's god position, which would be far more fragrant than the Sea God's.

Now, if he could obtain the method of self-cultivation to godhood from Evil God Lu Ya, Gu Xuan could then create his own divine position, ascend to the divine realm—how wonderful would that be!

Translation: And now, if he could obtain the method of self-cultivation to godhood from Evil God Lu Ya, then Gu Xuan could someday create his own god position and ascend to the Divine Realm—how wonderful would that be?

After all, inheriting a divine position is following someone else's path, and one might never break through; whereas if one cultivates to godhood oneself, all insights are one's own, undoubtedly offering greater potential and future.

Translation: After all, an inherited god position is someone else's Dao; one might very well have no further breakthrough, whereas if one cultivates to godhood oneself, then all comprehension is one's own, undoubtedly possessing greater potential and future.

However, the Evil God is no fool; he naturally won't tell Gu Xuan now, and Gu Xuan hasn't yet reached that point, after all Gu Xuan has just broken through six rings, still far from that level.

Translation: However, the Evil God is no fool; he naturally won't tell Gu Xuan now, and Gu Xuan himself hasn't reached that point yet, after all, Gu Xuan has just broken through six rings, and that level is still far too distant.

Nevertheless, Gu Xuan, under the witness of the Twin Kings, made a pact with the Evil God: he would help Gu Xuan self-attain godhood, and in the future Gu Xuan would help him restore his divine position.

Translation: However, Gu Xuan, under the witness of the Twin Kings, also made a pact with the Evil God: he would help Gu Xuan self-cultivate to godhood, and in the future Gu Xuan would help him restore his god position.

After all, Gu Xuan's future assistance in reviving the Twin Kings already goes against the gods of the divine realm; having one more ally is no big deal, especially since these are all resources.

Translation: After all, Gu Xuan's future assistance in reviving the Twin Kings already puts him somewhat at odds with those gods of the Divine Realm; now having one more is no big deal, and besides, these are all resources.

After reaching an agreement with the Evil God, he also helped Gu Xuan refine the Evil God Pearl and that trace of Evil God origin; after refining the Evil God origin, the Evil God's origin—that is, the newly born thread of divine consciousness—took residence in Gu Xuan's mental sea, somewhat akin to how, ten thousand years later, Ice Empress resided in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Translation: After reaching an agreement with the Evil God, the Evil God also helped Gu Xuan refine the Evil God Pearl and that trace of Evil God origin; and after refining the Evil God origin, the Evil God's origin—that is, the nascent trace of divine consciousness—took up residence in Gu Xuan's mental sea, somewhat similar to how Yi Lai Ke Si later resided in Huo Yuhao's mental sea after ten thousand years.

As Gu Xuan's strength grows, that thread of the Evil God's divine consciousness can gradually strengthen, and even at critical moments it can protect Gu Xuan's life.

Translation: As Gu Xuan's strength increases, that trace of the Evil God's divine consciousness can also gradually grow stronger, and even be able to save Gu Xuan's life at critical moments.

Moreover, with the entry of Evil God Lu Ya's divine consciousness, Gu Xuan's mental power has also increased somewhat, now reaching the true level of a Titled Douluo.

Translation: Moreover, with the entry of Evil God Lu Ya's divine consciousness, Gu Xuan's mental strength has also grown somewhat, already reaching the true level of a Titled Douluo.

After refining the Evil God Pearl, Gu Xuan's ninth soul ring on his body turned completely red, becoming a hundred-thousand-year sixth soul ring!

Translation: After refining the Evil God Pearl, the ninth soul ring on Gu Xuan's body surface also completely turned red, a hundred-thousand-year sixth soul ring!

Gu Rong, who had been staring intently at Gu Xuan, saw this blood-red soul ring and his face lit up with excitement that could hardly be contained.

Translation: Gu Rong, who had been staring intently at Gu Xuan, upon seeing this blood-red soul ring, his excitement showed plainly on his face.

A hundred-thousand-year sixth soul ring? What kind of monster could achieve that?

Translation: A hundred-thousand-year sixth soul ring? What kind of monster could achieve that?

Not to mention achieving it, I've never even heard of such a thing!

Translation: Not to mention achieving it, I've never even heard of such a thing!

After a long while, Gu Xuan completely refined the Evil God Pearl; when he slowly opened his eyes, a flash of gray-white appeared amid his red-blue pupils.

Translation: After a long while, Gu Xuan completely refined the Evil God Pearl; when he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of gray-white flashed in his red-and-blue pupils.

At the same time, a strand of the red hair on Gu Xuan's forehead turned gray-white; though it looks eerie, it doesn't affect his handsomeness in the slightest, and this three-toned hair color even enhances his charm a bit more.

Translation: At the same time, a strand of the red bangs on Gu Xuan's forehead turned gray-white; although it looked eerie, it did not affect his handsomeness in the slightest, and even this tricolor hair color further enhanced his charm somewhat.

Gu Xuan slowly rose to his feet; the two yellow, one purple, two black, and one red soul rings on his body arranged themselves in order, and his terrifying sixty-first level soul power was actually on par with that of a Soul Douluo expert, without the slightest difference.

Translation: Gu Xuan slowly rose to his feet; the six soul rings on his body surface—two yellow, one purple, two black, one red—arranged in order and pulsed, and his terrifying sixty-first-level soul power was actually not inferior in the slightest to that of a Soul Douluo powerhouse.

This is the horror of compressed soul power cultivation: merely in terms of soul power intensity, Gu Xuan is already comparable to a Soul Douluo-level expert.

Translation: This is the horror of compressed soul power cultivation: merely in terms of soul power intensity, Gu Xuan is already comparable to a Soul Douluo-level expert.

Now, if Gu Xuan were to face Qian Renxue again, he is confident he could defeat her without using the Golden Level Second Awakening, because his two soul skills are simply heaven-defying.

Translation: Moreover, if Gu Xuan were to face Qian Renxue again now, he is confident he could defeat her without using the Golden Rank second awakening, because his two soul skills are simply heaven-defying.

Indeed, it's just two soul skills; although his sixth soul ring is not obtained from a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, he still possesses two soul skills, and they are both extremely powerful and terrifying.

Translation: That's right, just two soul skills; although his sixth soul ring is not obtained from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, he nevertheless possesses two soul skills, and they are two extremely powerful and terrifying soul skills.

Gu Xuan himself never expected this; after all, soul rings like the God-Granted type only grant a single skill to a soul master, and it's the most suitable one for them.

Translation: This is something Gu Xuan himself never imagined, after all, soul rings like divine-bestowed ones usually grant only one skill to a Soul Master, and that skill is the most suitable for the Soul Master.

But Gu Xuan has two, and these two hundred-thousand-year soul skills are also highly compatible with him, because the Evil God, having possessed the Dark Evil God Tiger for tens of thousands of years, has slaughtered countless spirit beasts and humans; the lingering death aura and the bone dragon martial spirit's innate nether flame are likewise a perfect match.

Translation: But Gu Xuan does have two, and these two hundred-thousand-year soul skills are also highly suited to Gu Xuan, because the Evil God, possessing the Dark Evil God Tiger for tens of thousands of years, has slaughtered too many soul beasts and humans; the deathly aura of the undead and the innate netherflame of the Bone Dragon martial soul are likewise highly compatible.

Indeed, besides the spatial attribute this time, the bone dragon martial spirit also possesses nether flame, a trait common to most martial spirits of this kind.

Translation: That's right, the Bone Dragon martial soul, besides this spatial attribute, also possesses netherflame, which is a trait most martial souls of this type have.

Moreover, the Evil God's origin is not attached to just one Dark Evil God Tiger; each time it is killed after possession, it seeks a new host, which is how it has managed to regain a thread of divine consciousness over such a long period.

Translation: And the Evil God's origin possessing the Dark Evil God Tiger is not limited to just one; each time the possession ends with the host being killed, he seeks a new target, which is why he has been able to recover a trace of divine consciousness over such a long period.

Know that the Evil God is a top-tier first-class deity; to recover even a thread of divine consciousness in the human world would require an enormous amount of energy!

Translation: Know that the Evil God is a top-tier first-class deity; to recover a trace of divine consciousness in the human world would require an enormous amount of energy!

Now the Evil God has already regained a thread of divine consciousness and has self-awareness, so he will not recklessly kill; thus Gu Xuan need not worry that the Evil God's consciousness residing in his mental sea will affect him.

Translation: And now the Evil God has already recovered a trace of divine consciousness, possessing self-awareness, so he naturally won't act on impulse to kill; thus Gu Xuan also need not worry that the Evil God's divine consciousness residing in his mental sea will affect him.

Speaking of which, the Evil God also blamed himself; after all, before regaining his divine consciousness, he was driven by instinct to seek energy, but he caused too much slaughter, and even if he later regains his divine position, perhaps there will still be some repercussions.

Translation: Speaking of which, the Evil God also blamed himself a bit; after all, before recovering his divine consciousness, although it was instinct driving him to seek energy, he had nonetheless caused too much slaughter, so even if he someday regains his god position, there might still be some repercussions.

It's possible that his Evil God position is now truly evil; originally the 'evil' in his name wasn't wicked, but this time it might genuinely be evil, given that he has slaughtered for tens of thousands of years.

Translation: It's possible that his Evil God position is now more genuine; originally the "evil" in Evil God was not evil, but this time it might truly be evil, after all he has slaughtered too much over tens of thousands of years.

After seeing Gu Xuan stabilize, Gu Rong then entered his own Bone Dragon Space, feeling the might of Gu Xuan's hundred-thousand-year sixth soul ring on his body, and Gu Rong almost burst into tears from joy.

Translation: After Gu Rong saw Gu Xuan stabilize, he then entered his own Bone Dragon Space, and feeling the might of Gu Xuan's hundred-thousand-year sixth soul ring on his body surface up close, Gu Rong nearly burst into tears from joy.

After all, this is his grandson; although Gu Xuan is only sixteen, he has already reached the Soul Emperor level, and his sixth soul ring has reached the hundred-thousand-year tier—how could his grandfather not be excited?

Translation: After all, this is his grandson; although Gu Xuan is only sixteen, he has not only reached Soul Emperor cultivation, but his sixth soul ring has also attained hundred-thousand-year level—how could this grandfather not be excited?

"Grandfather." Gu Xuan smiled slightly at Gu Rong.

Translation: "Grandfather." Gu Xuan gave Gu Rong a slight smile.

Gu Rong nodded approvingly: "Good lad! Having you is the greatest fortune of my lifetime."

Translation: Gu Rong nodded satisfactorily: "Good lad! Having you is the greatest fortune of this old man's life."

Gu Xuan's soul rings retracted into his body as he walked up to Gu Rong and whispered, "Grandfather, for now don't reveal my strength; just tell Second Uncle and the others."

Translation: Gu Xuan's soul rings retracted into his body, he walked up to Gu Rong, and softly said: "Grandfather, for now don't expose my strength; just tell Second Uncle and the uncles."

Gu Rong nodded and then said, "That naturally needs to be said, and Xiao You has also successfully advanced to Titled Douluo; now that they have this news, they'll likely be even more grateful for their earlier decision."

Translation: Gu Rong nodded and then said: "This naturally needs to be said, and Xiao You has also successfully advanced to Titled Douluo; now that they have this news of yours, they will probably only be more grateful for their original decision."
