Chapter 246: Everyone Becomes a God; Five God Envoys Infiltrate the City
Chrysanthemum Douluo was struck, and Jerry was directly startled.
Fortunately, it was only the first Thunder Tribulation, and its power was limited; Chrysanthemum Douluo's own strength was also quite solid, so it only singed Chrysanthemum Douluo's hair, scorched his skin a little, and charred the clothes on his body.
Coming to his senses, Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly wrapped his entire body in soul power, using soul power to form armor, wrapping himself so thoroughly that even his eyes were not exposed; after wrapping one layer, he felt it wasn't enough and added two more.
The second Thunder Tribulation struck down, and the outer soul power armor was split open by two layers. After seeing this situation, Chrysanthemum Douluo remembered what Jerry had said before, that each Thunder Tribulation was stronger than the last; the second one had already split two layers of defense, so the third one would likely be even more formidable.
It was Chrysanthemum Douluo's first time undergoing a tribulation, and it was a God Tribulation at that, so he was very fearful inside at first; therefore, taking advantage of the moment the second Thunder Tribulation had just struck, he immediately added nine layers of armor to himself, which was the maximum number of layers he could manage.
After adding the armor, he still felt it wasn't enough, so he took out a two-in-one healing and recovery Array Disk; this was something Jerry had made for fun in the past, made relatively small for easy carrying, and if injured, one could take it out and sit on it to recover.
Jerry hadn't expected his master to be so afraid; adding nine layers of soul power armor wasn't enough, and he even took out the Array Disk.
The third Thunder Tribulation struck down, splitting four layers of soul power armor, and Chrysanthemum Douluo instantly replenished four layers.
The fourth Thunder Tribulation split six layers, and at this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed a bit panicked.
The fifth Thunder Tribulation split eight layers; at this rate, the next one could directly split through all his defenses.
Before Chrysanthemum Douluo could react to what he should do, the sixth Thunder Tribulation struck down.
In an instant, the nine layers of defense were pierced through, striking Chrysanthemum Douluo directly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled for a moment and then recovered; perhaps after the Thunder Tribulation pierced through nine layers of protective shields, there wasn't much energy left.
Having regained his composure, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't even consider it, directly adding nine layers of defense again, and then took a large Array Disk out from his ring.
Seeing the Array Disk, Jerry knew what kind of array it was; it was a Defense Array disk for the base of a building, and his master was actually carrying it on his person.
Perhaps feeling that one wasn't enough, he took out a dozen more.
The seventh Thunder Tribulation struck down, only destroying three defense Array Disks; it seemed these defense Array Disks were quite useful. At this time, Chrysanthemum Douluo also breathed a sigh of relief and took out three more defense Array Disks to replenish them.
Seeing this, Jerry couldn't bear to watch anymore; his master was truly cautious.
The eighth strike pierced through eight defense Array Disks; the ninth strike pierced through sixteen defense Array Disks.
At this time, Chrysanthemum Douluo directly replenished the defense Array Disks to thirty-two, thought for a moment, and then took out eight more.
Forty layers of defense Array Disks, nine layers of soul power armor—Master, how afraid of death are you? Previously, Jerry had thought that if his master couldn't hold on, he would step in, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.
The tenth Thunder Tribulation, which was also the final one, was larger than the previous nine; it instantly pierced through forty layers of defense Array Disks, then continued to pierce through eight layers of soul power armor, and the ninth layer of armor was also trembling, but in the end, it was not pierced through.
The dark clouds in the sky were angry and had turned black, feeling as if they wanted to strike down one more time, but in the end, it did not strike, and it soon dissipated.
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo was sitting cross-legged on the ground when a sound of air friction suddenly rang out; Chrysanthemum Douluo had broken through to the Hundred Level, and Jerry shouted directly: "Master, do not condense a God Ring yourself!"
Hearing Jerry's voice, Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped, and then Jerry told him that the Spirit Hall had a million-year Soul Beast that could directly manufacture God Rings, and that the Great Elder and Poseidon both used this kind of God Ring.
After becoming a god, Chrysanthemum Douluo, like the Great Elder and Poseidon, did not have a God Position; he had merely broken through to the god-level in strength.
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo's method of undergoing the tribulation also gave Jerry inspiration: soul power armor and defense arrays could resist the Thunder Tribulation.
Chrysanthemum Douluo had only used the most basic defense arrays, but when Jerry perfected the arrays, there were many types of defense arrays, far better than this one of Chrysanthemum Douluo's.
However, when Chrysanthemum Douluo broke through, no golden light descended; it seemed that there were conditions for the golden light to descend, and Chrysanthemum Douluo did not meet the conditions.
The World Rule should know; after asking, he understood completely. Previously, it was the world advancing, and the four of them breaking through was a reward, and also a declaration to all species on the continent that one could become a god on the continent.
Besides that, only when inheriting a God Position would there be golden light, and only then would the entire continent be notified.
From this, it seemed that as long as one ran to a remote place to undergo the tribulation, no one would know they had broken through.
Afterward, Jerry and Chrysanthemum Douluo returned to the Spirit Hall, where Ghost Douluo and the junior disciples were waiting anxiously. Seeing the two return safely, although Chrysanthemum Douluo was a bit disheveled, his aura was very strong, and one could tell at a glance that he had succeeded, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The God Tribulation was only slightly more powerful than the Soul Beast Thunder Tribulation; judging from today's situation, it was completely possible to defend against it.
Jerry found some Thunder Attribute materials and began to make Thunder Attribute defense arrays. He was not like his master, who only carved one array onto an Array Disk; Jerry could carve composite arrays.
However, a composite array could have at most nine types of arrays; nine was already the limit, and one more would lead to failure.
It should be that the World Rule restricted it; nine is the Extreme of Heaven, and this world was the same.
He successively made ten such composite defense arrays, then brought everyone to the Tribulation Crossing Site and directly set up a large-scale recovery and treatment array on the ground, unlike the tiny ones his master had used before.
Next was Ghost Douluo's turn; after the ten composite defense arrays were directly set up, Jerry thought of something fun.
He directly took out one thousand empty Thunder Attribute Energy Storage Devices and then connected them to the defense array.
After doing this, Jerry began to channel Faith Power to Ghost Douluo.
Ghost Douluo had absolutely no Faith Power, so the consumption was relatively high, and the transformation took longer.
Following the transformation by Faith Power, after the body completely evolved into a God Body, the God Tribulation came again.
Ninety layers of defense, and under each layer of defense was a Gathering Thunder Array; every time the Thunder Tribulation pierced through a layer, the dissipated Thunder Tribulation energy, before it could scatter, was absorbed by the Gathering Thunder Array and then transmitted to the Thunder Attribute Energy Storage Devices.
This was much faster than naturally absorbing Thunder Attribute soul power. Now Wuhun City was very large, and most people could not afford attribute energy and still had to use electricity; the electricity consumption was very high. Although there was a lot of Thunder Attribute soul power converted into electricity, it couldn't withstand the entire city's various industries using it, so the Thunder Attribute consumption was the greatest.
Ten Thunder Tribulations only pierced through fifty layers of defense; Ghost Douluo sat under the Thunder Tribulation from beginning to end watching, and it didn't even touch him.
After the Thunder Tribulation, he very smoothly broke through to the Hundred Level and became a god.
Next were the senior and junior sisters; they all passed safely.
After they passed, Jerry arranged for them to absorb the God Rings.
The World Rule suddenly contacted Jerry; this method of passing the God Tribulation could not be used in the future, as the World Rule had changed because of Jerry.
Defense arrays would henceforth be calculated as part of the strength of the person undergoing the tribulation, and the Thunder Tribulation would double in sequence according to the strength of the person undergoing the tribulation.
Originally, one would only evolve into a God Body when struck by the God Tribulation, so being struck had its benefits; Jerry had directly converted them into God Bodies using Faith Power, so the world felt the God Tribulation was of no use, and thus a new rule was born.
However, the World Rule also told Jerry that they usually practiced in the Gravity Field, so their Body Strength was very high; even if they used their physical bodies to withstand the God Tribulation, they would at most suffer some injuries, and the Thunder Tribulation could also help them further temper their bodies, so there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
In the past, many people perished under the God Tribulation because they did not value Body Strength, so they could not withstand it.
After everyone absorbed the God Rings, they perfectly ascended to the god-level; the only regret was that none of them had a God Position.
If not for Jerry's interference, Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue would both have had God Positions, but now they had become ordinary gods.
Jerry now had a large reserve of energy, and it would no longer cause a power shortage in Wuhun City.
He had previously upgraded the Spirit Ring Manufacturing Machine; after the upgrade, it should be called a God Ring Maker, and now it only took one hour to make a God Ring.
That day, after everyone had successfully absorbed theirs, they returned to their own residences to experience their strength after becoming gods.
No one should tell anyone about the matter of everyone becoming gods; they must keep a low profile.
Ever since being with the Silver Dragon King, Jerry's resistance had become much worse, and that very evening, he went to spar with Zhu Zhuqing.
Having just become a god, Zhu Zhuqing could not withstand Jerry for long at all; she was completely no match for Jerry and was soon defeated, her whole body weak and too lazy to even move.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was no match for him, Jerry helped her tidy up, then placed her on the bed and fell asleep directly.
The next day at noon, Zhu Zhuqing had recovered her strength; looking at Jerry beside her, she hammered her little fists directly onto Jerry's chest.
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing moved, Jerry woke up, grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's little fists with a backhand, and with a pull, Zhu Zhuqing threw her whole person into Jerry's embrace.
"Zhuqing, do you still want to come again?"
Feeling Jerry's abnormality, Zhu Zhuqing said with a blushing, shy face: "Senior Brother, you are simply not human. How are you so powerful now? Let me go, I haven't recovered yet!"
After spending a few hours of tenderness with Zhuqing, the two got up.
Jerry checked Zhuqing's status; the Nether Civet is indeed worthy of being a Top-tier Spirit. After becoming a god, Zhuqing's Darkness Attribute Rule was directly comprehended to 30%.
The next step of Cultivation was to comprehend Rules, but Jerry was not yet prepared to tell everyone about the Small World. The aftereffects were too great, and he was afraid that others would become like Jerry was before; it was better to let them slowly comprehend in the Main World first.
After Tang San and the others became gods, they began to expand wantonly in private, quietly eliminating everyone who stood in their way.
Furthermore, after changing their appearances, Tang San and the others even came to Wuhun City in person. Yu Xiaogang took them to experience the Cultivation Tower and the Gravity Field, and afterwards took them shopping. Tang San was very interested in the Spirit Guidance Car; it looked entirely made of metal, but he had never figured out why it could run.
As soon as Oscar and Ma Hongjun arrived, they were attracted by all kinds of delicious food; every day they were either at a restaurant or on the way to a restaurant.
As for Yu Xiaogang, he went to the library, as he was very interested in the new materials of the Spirit Hall.
After reading for a few days, he had gained a little, but it was not what he truly wanted.
In the public library, there were no records of Arrays, medicinal pills, or Spirit Guidance Devices.
The Spirit Hall Academy should have them, but his identity was hard to manage, and he did not know if sneaking in was feasible. The Spirit Hall Spirit Master Academy was next to the Inner City; others might not discover him, but Qian Daoliu or Poseidon might.
There was one more thing: Yu Xiaogang had always wanted to find an opportunity to see the Pope, Bibi Dong.
He had long inquired that after Bibi Dong came out of seclusion, she had taken over the power of the Spirit Hall for a period of time, and then suddenly let go, no longer managing the affairs of the Spirit Hall.
Now Bibi Dong always lived in the Floating Small Courtyard and rarely went out.
Yu Xiaogang felt that it must be that Jerry was unwilling to let go of the power in his hands and had imprisoned Bibi Dong; he must see Bibi Dong and then rescue her.
Before, he had no strength and dared not even think about it, but now that he had become a god, he could not expose himself.
The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt; looking at the Floating Small Courtyard above the Inner City of the Spirit Hall, many times he wanted to sneak in and take a look.
There were too many Small Courtyards above, and he had not found out which specific courtyard Bibi Dong lived in; he couldn't just search them one by one. If he was lucky and found her, that would be that, but if he was unlucky and ran into Qian Daoliu or Poseidon, he would be finished, and he would have delivered himself to their door.
As for Dugu Yan, she kept inquiring about news of the dungeons, and she even successfully infiltrated several dungeons, but she did not find the Poison Douluo.
She firmly believed that her grandfather was still alive because the Spirit Hall had not released news of the Poison Douluo's death.
The Poison Douluo was indeed still alive, just not in the dungeon.
Jerry used the Spirit Dispersion Array to make Spirit Guidance Shackles; after wearing the shackles, one would be sent to other places for labor reform.
The Poison Douluo was currently outside undergoing labor reform, transporting building materials.
Dispersing soul power might be a bad thing for others, but for the Poison Douluo, it was truly a good thing.
The soul power inside his body had always carried a kind of toxin, and his martial soul would produce some of this toxin every day; this kind of toxin was a Mixed Poison, very difficult to remove, and it had been eroding the Poison Douluo's body.
The Spirit Dispersion Spirit Guidance Shackle dispersed his soul power, and even the soul power hidden in his flesh was dispersed; every time his martial soul produced soul power, it would also be dispersed, so the toxins were also dispersed along with this soul power.
Without these toxins, the Poison Douluo was now very healthy; relying on his constitution as a Title Douluo, he worked very quickly and finished his daily task quota early every day.
Although the Spirit Hall made criminals undergo labor reform, they assigned a reasonable task quota and would not oppress them.
These tasks were very easy for the Poison Douluo, and they were all physical labor. The food provided by the Spirit Hall was very good, three meals a day, with over a hundred dishes to choose from at every meal, and every dish was made very deliciously. Over these past few years, not only had his body recovered, but he had also gained weight.
Without the erosion of the toxins, the Poison Douluo no longer worried about soul power backlash, so his mood also improved, and he often chatted with others.
If one were to look at the Poison Douluo now, they would only associate him with being a kind old grandfather; they would never think that he was the Title Douluo Dugu Bo who once made people tremble with fear and poisoned an entire city.
