Chapter 109: Divine Sense

Looking at Zhou Heng, Qian Daoliu began to explain slowly.

It is said that in the millennium when the Angel God had just ascended into the God Realm, the Angel God's God Trial was still a relatively common thing.

In that era, high-level Soul Masters and those who had made great contributions to the human race could all receive a God Trial before the statue of the Angel God.

It can be said that in that era, as long as one was a Soul Master above the Soul King level, they could receive a God Trial of three to five tests, and by relying on the blessing of the Angel God, they could raise their soul power to the level of Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, or even Spirit Douluo.

However, as the era gradually changed, the Angel God gradually raised the threshold for the God Trial, and at the same time, the number of God Trials granted gradually decreased.

In the last few thousand years, the Angel God has almost never granted any God Trials.

Only the current High Priest can manually use the Divine Power and Faith Power left behind in the Angel God's statue to initiate a God Trial.

But such a manual initiation is not only far inferior in effect to a God Trial truly bestowed by the Angel God, but the consumption is also much greater than that of a true God Trial.

It was fine in the past when the faith in the Angel God permeated the entire Douluo Continent, as it could be replenished by the faith of the masses.

But now that the faith in the Angel God has faded, every manual initiation of a God Trial requires a large amount of time to buffer.

So much so that even within the Angel Clan, only a very small number of people can enter the Angel God's God Trial.

After introducing the history of the God Trial, Gan Daoliu spoke of the benefits and limitations of the God Trial.

Outsiders who are not of the Angel Clan can receive at most seven tests in their God Trial; although they will not become gods, they also do not need to bear the responsibilities of the High Priest like members of the Angel Clan who have received eight tests.

For a Soul Master, completing the seven tests has only benefits and no drawbacks.

Even if one fails a certain test within the God Trial, at most it just means the subsequent God Trials cannot proceed, and there will be no punishment for the Soul Master.

Of course, this refers to the fact that there is no punishment for failure in a God Trial under normal circumstances.

If one were to commit evil and slaughter the innocent on the continent while in the state of having an Angel God's God Trial, then that Soul Master would certainly receive a divine punishment personally sent down by the Angel God.

If a Soul Master who has accepted the Angel God's God Trial falls into evil ways in the future, then all Soul Masters who have received the Angel God's grace and the Angel Clan will take action to completely eradicate them.

Hmm, in Zhou Heng's view, this negative limitation is practically the same as having none at all.

Soul Masters who commit evil are already targeted by the Spirit Hall in this era, and even Soul Masters who do not believe in the Angel God would not mind taking down those anti-human fellows.

It could even be said that this limitation is less of a restriction on Soul Masters by the Angel God, and more of an expectation from the Angel God for Soul Masters.

As long as one does not commit evil, then the God Trial has only benefits and no drawbacks.

The most ridiculous part is that the Angel God's God Trial does not even require the person receiving the God Trial to believe in the Angel God.

It is no wonder that as time went on, the Faith Power became increasingly insufficient to meet the demand.

"Xiao Heng, are you willing to accept the Angel God's God Trial? As long as you are willing to accept the Angel God's God Trial, then your status within the Spirit Hall will be on par with those in our Offering Hall.

If you are willing, I can support you in becoming the next Pope of the Spirit Hall."

Qian Daoliu's eyes were clean and clear, without the slightest concealment, as he spoke the words in his heart.

With that series of changes and performances just now, in Qian Daoliu's heart, even if Zhou Heng was not the reincarnation of the Angel God himself, he must absolutely be the reincarnation of some god who had a good relationship with the Angel God in the God Realm.

This performance, this talent, this strength, was already completely beyond that of a mortal.

"Many thanks, Grand Master, I am willing." Zhou Heng agreed to Qian Daoliu's proposal as a matter of course.

"Good, good, come with me." Qian Daoliu clapped his hands and led Zhou Heng before the statue of the Angel God.

"Xiao Heng, kneel down." Qian Daoliu pointed to the prayer mat in front of the Angel God statue and said to Zhou Heng.

"Alright." Zhou Heng nodded and knelt down without any hesitation.

The Angel God is the faith of the Douluo World and a sage on the path of the Soul Master; for Zhou Heng, kneeling down was not a big deal to begin with.

It could even be said that all humans on the Douluo Continent should kneel to the Angel God.

After all, this person truly pioneered an era that belonged to humanity.

What's more, Zhou Heng had just successively received the Angel God's sword technique and a portion of the Angel God's power, so kneeling to the Angel God was simply not a major matter.

From the perspective of inheritance, although Zhou Heng had never met the Angel God, he could still be considered a disciple of the Angel God once removed.

Qian Daoliu pressed his palms together and prayed in a low voice; the power of the angel surged out from his body and merged into the Angel God's statue. The statue shone brilliantly, and a golden light shot out from the center of the statue's brow, surging into Zhou Heng's body.

A yellow ring of light surged out from Zhou Heng's body, followed immediately by a second one.

When the third ring of light surged out, the color had already turned purple.

The fourth ring was purple, the fifth was black, the sixth was black, and the seventh was black.

The rings of light that appeared beside Zhou Heng like Soul Rings were the intensity of the God Trial the Angel God had bestowed upon Zhou Heng.

Black Grade Seven Trials, the highest level of God Trial the Angel God bestows upon outsiders.

The speed at which those rings of light surged out was seen by the others.

Clearly, the upper limit of this God Trial was the upper limit given by the Angel God, not the upper limit of Zhou Heng's talent.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Heng was not a member of the Angel Clan, just based on the fact that he had received the Angel God's gift from within the Angel God's statue just now, they felt that Zhou Heng could at least have obtained an eighth test, and even the legendary Angel Nine Trials was not impossible.

The group's thoughts were not wrong; in fact, the reality was even more astonishing than they imagined.

In the dark, there was a feeling that if he took the initiative to pull the Angel God's power toward his own body, the God Trial could be deepened further.

He could not only obtain the eighth ring representing the eighth test, but even the ninth test, which the Angel God only left for the next generation of the Angel God, could be pulled over.

However, for Zhou Heng, the Angel Seven Trials were already completely sufficient.

This level was just right for reaping all the benefits without having to pay a price; accepting the eighth and ninth tests would involve him too deeply with the Angel God.

The light surged into Zhou Heng's body, forming a golden rhombus at the center of his brow.

A special power surged into the interior of Zhou Heng's Spirit Sea, forming a special little cocoon, and Zhou Heng had a connection with the Angel God's statue in the dark.

"Angel Seven Trials, First Test: Reach level 50 soul power before the age of fifteen."

"God Trial completed, reward: God-Bestowed Spirit Ring."

The golden little cocoon inside Zhou Heng's Spirit Sea shattered a layer, and a force surged out from the Angel God's statue, condensing in mid-air, and finally turned into a small golden ball that fell into Zhou Heng's hand.

Just as Zhou Heng was receiving the Angel God Trial, in the Angel God Palace of the God Realm, the Angel God, who was besieged by blood-red Divine Power, suddenly opened their eyes.

"Finally accepted the God Trial!"

From the center of the Angel God's brow, a pale golden Divine Sense was split off by the Angel God, and following the information of the God Trial that had just appeared, it was cast downward in reverse.

The Goddess of Life, who was within the Shenjie Zhongshu, sensed the suddenly appearing fluctuation, and after carefully sensing it for a while, the Goddess of Life breathed a sigh of relief.

So it turned out to be the Angel God bestowing a God Trial.

However, recalling what she had seen before, the Asura God and the Rakshasa God were actually both interfering with their own God Trials; she wondered what had happened on Douluo Star that so many geniuses had obtained God Trials?
