Chapter 562: Feihuang's Persuasion: The Name of the Peerless God General
Seeing the expressions of the two Emperors, Feihuang knew he had struck a sore spot, but he continued relentlessly, "You both know how terrifying the Great Limit is for Spirit Beasts, don't you? Bingdi, Xuedi, I can sense that because your Great Limits are approaching once again, your emotions are extremely anxious."
"The two of you, I believe neither of you wants to die. After all, having lived for such a long time, how could you be content to turn into a pile of dust? Therefore, I have come specifically to save you, and I have thought of the best method for you."
Feihuang's words finally piqued the interest of the Ice Empress Scorpion and the Snow Maiden. They asked almost subconsciously, "What method?"
Nan Feihuang said in a deep voice, "Become a god's subordinate!"
"A god's subordinate." Bingdi was stunned. "What does that mean?"
"Bingdi, Xuedi, let me ask you, on our continent, which race has the most potential?" Feihuang countered.
Bingdi had already been drawn into the rhythm of Feihuang's words and was subconsciously thinking according to his line of reasoning.
Xuedi was even more direct, "It is humans like you."
Feihuang nodded forcefully, "Correct, it is indeed humans. Although there are naturally powerful existences among Spirit Beasts like the two of you, there is no help for it; the God Realm does not welcome you Spirit Beasts. As long as you cannot become a god, your lifespan is ultimately limited. Yet a human with excellent talent, after just a few decades of cultivation, can compare in strength to your kin with tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Why is this? It is because of the difference in potential. The human body is fragile, and the lifespan is very short, but their potential is favored by the heavens; it is something we can never compare to. This is our human advantage, and it is what you Spirit Beasts lack."
"Most importantly, only a supreme genius among humans like me has the chance to reach that highest realm. Do you still remember the golden and blue-gold divine lights that once illuminated the continent and the ocean?"
Bingdi said, "The heavens and earth changed color, becoming gods in an instant. The Angel God Qian Yu Han and the Sea God Poseidon are indeed remarkable existences."
Feihuang said, "Exactly. The Angel God and the Sea God were originally human, and their power has already far surpassed Ditian, the strongest among your Spirit Beasts. Bingdi, Xuedi, you must know that only the life of a god is infinite!"
Bingdi and Xuedi looked at each other and fell silent. They had to admit that Feihuang was right.
Feihuang smiled slightly; he knew he had persuaded these two Ice and Snow Emperors.
Besides the fact that what he said was indeed reasonable, the main reason was that his power had thoroughly beaten them into submission.
In the Spirit Beast world, strength is respected.
Only because Feihuang's strength surpassed theirs did he have the capital to negotiate with them like this.
Feihuang struck while the iron was hot, "When Spirit Beasts reach one hundred thousand years of cultivation, they all have a chance to choose to cultivate into human form. However, those who truly have the courage to re-cultivate as humans are few and far between. Because there is no way to be certain if one can cultivate and break through within a mere hundred years."
"Xuedi, this was the method you had in mind, right? I can tell you, the possibility is slim to none. A transformed Spirit Beast must come into contact with humans to cultivate quickly. Not to mention whether you will be discovered and turned into a spirit ring or soul bone while living in the human world, even if the cultivation goes smoothly, your cultivation speed will at most reach the level of a human with innate full soul power. Yet from ancient times to the present, how many Spirit Masters with innate full soul power have there been? Not to mention other times, just in this century, according to the records of my Gulei Kingdom, nearly twenty have appeared on the continent."
"But the vast majority of them stop at most at Title Douluo, enjoying only a few hundred years of life. Do you think you can become a god so smoothly?" "How do you know my plans?" Xuedi was greatly surprised; she had never told anyone about this idea.
Feihuang smiled slightly. He had read the original work, so of course he knew.
Feihuang did not answer her, but continued, "I have already told you the drawbacks of transforming into a human, so I advise you not to try that illusory method; it is highly likely you will die prematurely during the re-cultivation process. It is better to settle for the next best thing. Since the God Realm does not welcome you Spirit Beasts to become gods yourselves, it is better to attach yourselves to a god. In this way, you can follow this deity and possess infinite life, becoming a part of the god. That is, a companion spirit beast."
"So, you want us to choose you and offer yourself as a Sacrifice to you." Xuedi looked at Feihuang. By now, if she still couldn't guess the purpose of Feihuang telling her so much, she would have been an unworthy Emperor of the Extreme North.
Their eyes met, and Xuedi seemed to want to see through him completely, but when her gaze entered Feihuang's eyes, the depth in Feihuang's eyes seemed to make her fall into them.
"To think I cannot see through him. This youth's potential is so strong, and his fortune so deep, that it has reached an immeasurable level. I have to admit, if things truly go as this youth says, it may not be an incorrect choice."
"The two of you, look at this!" Feihuang pushed aside the bangs covering his forehead, and a mark of a Halberd appeared before the two Emperors. "Bingdi, Xuedi, this is the God Examination Seal of the Peerless God General. I have already opened the Peerless God General Nine Trials. As long as I complete them all, I will be an unprecedented new god, not under the jurisdiction of the God Realm—a Peerless God General!"
"What, Peerless God General!" the two Emperors exclaimed in shock. They had lived for so many years and had never heard of a god who could be completely free from the jurisdiction of the God Realm.
Either Feihuang was lying, or this God Position was extremely powerful, to the point where even the God Realm could not control him.
Becoming a god's companion spirit beast also has levels, which are completely tied to the strength of the god themselves. Becoming a companion spirit beast to a Level One God and becoming one to a Second-Class God are completely different in terms of strength after becoming a god.
Xuedi thought for a moment; with Feihuang's strength, he should not bother with such lies.
Taking a step back, even if it wasn't as terrifying as he said, this Peerless God General's God Trial was the real deal. Since it was nine trials, it couldn't be a Second-Class God trial; it was at least a Level One God.
If she could become a companion spirit beast to a Level One God, that would be enough to satisfy her.
To be honest, she was truly tempted. Compared to the great tribulation that was unlikely to be overcome and the illusory re-cultivation as a human, directly entrusting herself to a supreme genius who had already opened a God Trial had a much higher chance of success.
"Human, I have a question. How can you guarantee that when we offer ourselves as a Sacrifice to you, our souls will not suffer the slightest injury?" Xuedi asked.
This was the most critical point. After the Sacrifice, the body would definitely be gone. Whether she could become a god in the future and reshape a divine body depended entirely on the strength of the soul.
