Chapter 320: 321. Knowing Gratitude and Repaying Kindness

321. Chapter 321: Knowing Gratitude and Repaying Kindness

Outside the Douluo Star.

A massive soul projection slowly emerged.

After consolidating his Primordial Spirit, Bai Zhou's divine awareness directly covered the entire Douluo Star, while his intent also appeared at the Outer Circle of the Douluo Star.

Looking down, it was a vibrant blue planet, azure and magnificent, somewhat resembling his past world's Blue Star, with oceans covering most of its surface and landmasses occupying only a small portion.

Bai Zhou raised his head toward the distance, his eyes suddenly narrowing…

There, deep in the distant void, lay a realm shrouded in mist.

It was a brand-new world, seemingly within reach, yet impossibly far away.

Of course, ordinary people could not see that world; only those whose Spiritual Power reached the Divine Yuan Realm could faintly sense a trace of its presence…

After all, the God Realm was formed from the Faith Power of countless worlds in the Lower Realm, but it did not actually exist within this world—it was a higher-level "Plane," where time flowed far slower than in the Lower Realm.

Thus, Bai Zhou could only sense it, never touch it; even Demigods could not reach that world.

Only by gaining its recognition could one be drawn in—requiring a "ticket," also known as a "God Position."

A God Position was, at its core, a Rule.

Only by mastering a Rule Power could one enter the God Realm.

With the comprehension of the people on the Douluo Continent now, it was utterly impossible.

Only a super-genius like the Sea God, appearing once in a million years, could, through the path of Faith, condense the Sea God Divine Throne and gain the God Realm's recognition—essentially creating his own God Position, ranking as a Level One God.

After the Sea God, no one else had created a God Position.

Of course, a God Position could be inherited, thus providing a shortcut.

For example, the Shrek Seven Devils, for example, Huo Yuhao—they all took this shortcut; they were first granted a "God Position," then mastered the Rule, then fused the God Position, and finally entered the God Realm.

Of course, if one's power reached a certain level, one could directly tear open the space of this world and forcibly storm into the God Realm.

But Bai Zhou had not yet reached that level; he needed time to develop.

After one final glance at the direction of the God Realm, Bai Zhou slowly withdrew his awareness, his Primordial Spirit returning to its place.

"Huh—"

"This feeling… is truly wonderful…"

Bai Zhou gently sensed himself and found an inexplicable sense of ease, as if he had merged entirely with this world.

This world held no more threats or secrets for him!

This feeling—this should be called freedom…! Recalling everything since his transmigration, Bai Zhou felt a wave of melancholy and reflection.

Although he possessed a System, his cultivation level had been so low that he had always lived in fear, desperately seeking powerful allies to cling to…

Fortunately, his luck was good—he met Xian Lin'er right at the start, the most generous ally of all…

Without Xian Lin'er, his cultivation at Shrek Academy might not have been overly difficult, but many things would never have gone smoothly, and he certainly would never have reached this level now.

Bai Zhou considered himself someone who knew gratitude and repaid kindness.

In the future, he would certainly treat Xian Lin'er better; after finishing the affairs of the Sun Moon Empire, he should spend quality time with her, help her train intensely—after all, he must help her condense her second Soul Core and ascend to Limit Douluo! …

Bai Zhou slowly withdrew his thoughts, pondered for a moment, then took out another item.

It was a dark blue eyeball, no larger than a palm, yet shimmering with eerie radiance.

This eyeball was naturally the special External Attached Soul Bone left behind by the Evil Emperor.

Theoretically, when the Evil Eye Tyrant Clan dies, if a soul bone emerges, it is 100% a Head Spirit Bone, and always of Spirit Attribute. But the Evil Emperor was special, which is why this extremely rare External Attached Soul Bone appeared.

Bai Zhou did not hesitate—he began fusion immediately.

Soul Masters in this world were peculiar.

Although Soul Masters and Soul Beasts were enemies, Soul Beasts were somewhat like "patches" for human Soul Masters; the Soul Beasts' arduous cultivation seemed merely to serve as a gift for human Soul Masters.

The soul bones and Soul Rings of Soul Beasts fused perfectly with human Soul Masters, absorbed by them, becoming part of their own bodies—controlled as easily as limbs, with zero rejection.

This was truly miraculous.

The Evil Emperor's giant eyeball was an External Attached Soul Bone, yet it was a Seventy-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, and like a Soul Ring, it retained the Evil Emperor's final regrets and hatred, constantly striking Bai Zhou's Spirit Sea.

But now, these strikes were nothing to Bai Zhou—not even a tickle.

With a single thought, his powerful Spiritual Power instantly shattered all those resentments.

In just half an hour, Bai Zhou fully absorbed this Seventy-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.

Due to its nature as a special External Attached Soul Bone, this soul bone granted only one ability: the Evil Emperor's secret technique—Light of Space-Time! Although Light of Space-Time was originally the Evil Emperor's Evil Eye ability, because Bai Zhou's comprehension of time and space far surpassed the Evil Emperor's, the Light of Space-Time he wielded was dozens of times more powerful.

Bai Zhou slowly opened his eyes; his left iris had turned into a gem-like deep blue, emitting a faint blue glow, with the surrounding space warping and distorting—looking rather dazzling…

At first glance, this ability seemed far inferior to Bai Zhou's own comprehended "Time Stop." But in reality…

This ability truly was inferior to Time Stop—barely useful…

Its only advantage was the fresh Space and Time Power contained within the soul bone, which offered Bai Zhou valuable inspiration for comprehending the Space and Space Law—perhaps saving him one or two months…

Better than nothing.

…

…

After digesting all the Evil Emperor's blessings, Bai Zhou spent several more days consolidating his cultivation—or rather, adapting to his newly acquired power.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the evening of the fifth day.

Bai Zhou took out his Micro Card and checked the messages from these past days.

According to messages from Orange and Meng Hongchen, Bai Zhou learned that the two had been jointly crafting a large Soul Tool—Xuan Ziwen's final exam for them—so they had been returning home very late each day, constantly complaining to him.

Bai Zhou could only smile helplessly, but actually thought Xuan Ziwen had done well…

After all, they were still young; their studies should come first.

And if they followed him, they would surely be corrupted by him.

Bai Zhou put away the Micro Card and immediately headed toward the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Academy.

Training was training, but one couldn't simply leave them to fend for themselves entirely; having not seen them for a few days, he indeed missed them a little.

Soon, Bai Zhou arrived at the Laboratory.

Xuan Ziwen and the other students had already clocked off.

Only Orange and Meng Hongchen remained in a large Laboratory, grunting and heaving as they fiddled with something; since the entire Soul Tool required both of them to craft, they were most likely forging the casing right now. Like "auto repair workers" from his past life, they looked filthy and rather comical.

The Laboratory walls were not transparent; while Bai Zhou could see through them from the outside, those inside could not see out, so at this moment, Orange and Meng Hongchen still did not know that Bai Zhou was standing outside watching them "work."
