"Just now, the reason Elder Bai He passed through me is that I surrounded myself with Kamui Space. The moment Elder Bai He touched me, he was instantly transferred away," Su Ming explained calmly.
Bai He, still astonished, asked, "So this Kamui Space ability is a skill from your eyes?"
Su Ming nodded.
Bai He muttered, "No wonder you were so confident from the start. It wasn't because you could outrun me, but because of this space manipulation ability!"
Niu Gao clapped Bai He on the shoulder, saying, "Well, Old Bird, you've got to admit your loss now, huh?"
Bai He pushed Niu Gao's hand off his shoulder, grumbling, "So you just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"
Niu Gao looked away innocently, pretending he hadn't heard a thing.
At that moment, they noticed Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo emerging from the mansion. Bai He felt a moment of tension but quickly relaxed, remembering he was now aligned with Su Ming.
Su Ming approached them, looking apologetic. "Elders, sorry to keep you waiting. Let's head inside to rest and discuss the Holy Son Ceremony and the Founding Ceremony coming up in a month. The Power Clan will probably arrive here within a day or two."
Inside the mansion, Su Ming chatted idly with Bai He, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi, while Bai Chenxiang listened intently. She found it hard to believe that Su Ming and Xiao Wu were only a year or two older than her, yet possessed such maturity and power. And Ah Yin, whom she called "Sister," was a Titled Douluo, with two other Titled Douluos also standing behind Su Ming—was his influence really that great?
After some discussion, they decided that each clan leader would send a few people back to organize their respective clans, while they themselves would accompany Su Ming to Gengxin City. Once they had convinced Master Lou Gao to join the Spirit Hall, they would head back to the Spirit Hall to establish the four new halls. Bai He seemed the most enthusiastic about persuading Lou Gao.
He had just learned that Su Ming only had fifty of the charged soul-guided guns he'd demonstrated. To mass-produce these, they would absolutely need Lou Gao's help. Su Ming had already sent Ning Fengzhi with samples and blueprints to Gengxin City to request Lou Gao's assistance. Lou Gao, being a dedicated craftsman, was likely fascinated by such an innovative device.
They figured that Lou Gao joining them was almost guaranteed; the only question was if they could get the entire Blacksmith Association on board. Knowing Lou Gao's personality, he would likely appoint his successor as guild leader and join Spirit Hall on his own.
The next day, Niu Gao arrived at the Defense Clan estate with some members of the Power Clan. After some persuasion, Tai Nuo also decided to join Su Ming. The Power Clan was in a vulnerable position; with the other three clans now part of Spirit Hall and Tang Hao dead, Tai Nuo had no choice but to align with Su Ming, who also promised that Tang San would eventually meet his end.
Elsewhere, in the City of Slaughter.
Under the guidance of the Asura God's divine sense, Tang San finally reached the City of Slaughter to begin his trials. According to Asura, to unlock the God's trial, he had to achieve a hundred consecutive victories and survive the Hell Road, gaining the Deathgod Domain in the process.
Tang San put aside his grief over his father's death, knowing that only by attaining godhood could he avenge him.
He asked, "Asura, I know that both my father and Bibi Dong possess the Deathgod Domain. Why weren't they granted your inheritance?"
The Asura God laughed, "Because the hidden condition of my trial, aside from obtaining the Deathgod Domain, is to gain my personal approval. If I do not deem someone worthy, they will never receive my inheritance."
Tang San frowned in confusion. "But Asura, Bibi Dong has twin martial souls, and my father mastered the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Clan. Both are top talents on the continent. Why didn't you choose them?"
Asura responded, "Bibi Dong is affiliated with Spirit Hall, which has always been aligned with the Angelic lineage. My relations with the Angel God and the Sea God are far from friendly, so I'd never consider her. Her connection to the Rakshasa inheritance was through a lingering remnant soul from the Rakshasa sneaking in to claim her."
Asura laughed, "As for Tang Hao, while talented, he remains merely that—a mortal talent. If Bibi Dong wasn't fit, he certainly wasn't either. In the Divine Realm, there are many gods, but only four can truly rival me."
Learning this, Tang San realized he was lucky to have caught Asura's eye and asked, "So is the Goddess of Life on the same level as you, Asura?"
Asura nodded. "Yes, the Goddess of Life is one of the five Supreme Gods like me, though she isn't a threat to me. She's an auxiliary deity. But her husband, the God of Destruction, poses a far greater challenge."
With this newfound understanding of the Divine Realm, Tang San had one final question. "Asura, are there levels within the ranks of gods, similar to the divisions between Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo here?"
Asura said, "There certainly are levels. I intended to tell you about this later, but since you ask, let me explain the hierarchy of the Divine Realm."

"In the lower realm, level 99 is considered the ultimate limit. However, anyone who can cultivate to level 100 through their own efforts steps into the realm of divinity, achieving a qualitative transformation," explained Asura.
"In the continent's history, those who have become gods solely through their own power are exceedingly rare. Strictly speaking, I'm one of them. The Sea God only half qualifies, as he relied on the faith of the ocean over a thousand years to create his divine position."
Hearing this, Tang San grew even more confident in Asura's superiority over the Sea God, not caring whether what Asura said was true; what mattered to him was that Asura was stronger.
Noticing Tang San's reaction, Asura continued, "After breaking through the level 100 barrier, the initial stage is called 'Child of God,' which is the designation for a newly inherited divine position."
"When one reaches level 110, they are referred to as 'God's Venerable,' and at level 120, they are known as 'God's King.' At level 130, they become 'God's Emperor,' which corresponds to the five Supreme Gods of the Divine Realm. The term 'God King' is a mark of reverence, not just a title."
"We also have simpler classifications: Third-level Gods, Second-level Gods, First-level Gods, and God Kings, corresponding respectively to levels 100-110, 111-120, 121-130, and above 130."
"Below Third-level Gods are divine officers—those who possess divine power but have not attained an official divine position."
Tang San's eyes sparkled as he absorbed this clear explanation, marveling at the structured hierarchy of the Divine Realm. The hierarchy suggested a strict and competitive system, where strength dictated everything.
Excitedly, he asked, "Asura, what level are you currently? And how long does it take in the Divine Realm to advance by a single level?"
Asura replied indifferently, "Currently, I am at level 135. As for how long advancement takes, in your lower realm terms, it could take thousands to tens of thousands of years, depending on one's talent."
"You may not realize it, but for a level 98 Titled Douluo to reach level 99 requires nearly a millennium of soul power accumulation under normal conditions!"
Shocked, Tang San finally understood the hardship of high-level cultivation, and why there had been so few who achieved godhood independently throughout history. Most people simply didn't live long enough.
Knowing he was fortunate to have gained Asura's inheritance, he felt an urgency to quickly avenge himself against Su Ming and the others. Then, a new thought struck him, filling him with dread.
"Asura, even if I am confident in myself, completing your trials may still take years. By then, what if Bibi Dong, Su Ming, or even Qian Renxue have already become gods?"
Asura chuckled. "Relax. From what I can tell, it will take at least another two years for Bibi Dong to complete her Rakshasa God Trials. The final three tests are incredibly difficult. Without guidance from the Rakshasa God, she must rely on her own exploration, while you…well…" Asura left the rest unsaid, but his knowing look told Tang San everything. With Asura's help, he could cut corners and perhaps complete his trials faster than Bibi Dong.
And with the powers of the Slaughter City's fallen soul masters as sustenance, Tang San could grow even stronger.
"Now, Tang San, it's time to enter the Slaughter City and earn the Deathgod Domain," Asura prompted. "One last thing—upon inheriting my divine position, your initial divine power level will be 110, not just 101. This is one advantage of a Supreme God's inheritance."
Overjoyed, Tang San realized he would start at a level that would give him an edge over Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who would begin with levels lower than his.
Meanwhile, at the Spirit Hall…
Bibi Dong was busy preparing for the upcoming month's events, beginning with invitations to the two great empires and various sects, urging them to send representatives for Su Ming's Holy Son appointment. She anticipated the empires would send emissaries to assess the Spirit Hall's future movements.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu entered and asked, "Bibi Dong, have you thought this through?"
Bibi Dong nodded calmly. "Yes. With Su Ming inheriting the Life Goddess' legacy, and both Qian Renxue and I holding divine legacies, the time is ripe to unify the continent."
Qian Daoliu sighed, "Do as you see fit. My only concern is for Qian Renxue. She hasn't yet found a way to complete her Angel God Trials. Should I pass away, I only ask you to guide her."
"Don't rush her, Qian Daoliu," Bibi Dong advised. "We shouldn't push her into the trials prematurely."
He replied, "It has to happen within the next month or two. Tang San, chosen by Asura, will soon begin his own god trials. If Qian Renxue isn't prepared, she won't stand a chance against him."
"In the Divine Realm, Asura's strength and status surpass the Angel God's. If Tang San succeeds, even you and Qian Renxue together wouldn't be able to stop him."
