Shui Lanxin clenched her fists, her heart filled with turmoil.
She arrived first, so how could she be left far behind?
"Yanzi, why don't you try to refine this thing?"
Lin Chuan took out a black token from his storage soul tool and handed it to Dugu Yan.
"Isn't this the treasure you obtained from the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury, Xiao Chuan?" Dugu Yan subconsciously reached out and took it, recognizing it immediately.
The others also looked over at the same time.
Looking at the unremarkable token, he was clearly quite puzzled.
"What's the use of this thing?" Shui Yue'er asked curiously, reaching out and gently tapping the token.
"That is an item for the inheritance of divine positions. As long as one can gain recognition, one is qualified to inherit a divine position."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately became restless.
Apart from Ye Lingling, everyone else stared at the black token in Dugu Yan's hand with fanaticism, as if they wanted to devour it whole.
Dugu Yan was clearly startled; she never expected this thing to be so valuable.
The next moment, the girl did something that surprised everyone. With a solemn expression, she handed the token back, saying, "This is a divine position. Xiao Chuan, you should inherit it!"
"Yanyan!"
Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but didn't know how to persuade him.
You can't just tell her to accept it right away, can you?
Seeing that Dugu Yan was able to resist the temptation of the divine position and return it to him, Lin Chuan was genuinely moved. She was indeed a good girl.
"This is a divine artifact passed down from the Earth God, which is very suitable for you, Yanzi. However, whether you can gain recognition and thus qualify for the divine examination depends on your own luck."
Lin Chuan didn't reach out to take it, but instead smiled and ruffled the girl's hair.
He had originally planned to become a god, since comprehending various laws takes a considerable amount of time, almost measured in years, and the lifespan of a titled Douluo is at most a few hundred years.
Now things are different. The Earth God is a first-level god, and the Goddess of Life is one of the five great god-kings, qualified to lead people to the God Realm. Therefore, even if Lin Chuan does not become a god, he does not need to worry about his lifespan.
"Don't just stand there, try injecting your mental energy into it!"
Dugu Yan snapped out of her daze, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and then nodded emphatically.
She naturally trusted Lin Chuan's words unconditionally and without any hesitation, holding the black token in both hands and releasing her spiritual power to probe into it.
Lin Chuan stood guard by the side, silently observing the changes in Dugu Yan.
He had tried using his mental power before, but apart from sensing the power inside, there was no change. It seems that he was not favored by the Earth God.
To be honest, even Lin Chuan himself found this reason somewhat unbelievable.
To put it bluntly, with the talent he's shown, he should be in high demand. Even if he doesn't catch the eye of a God-King, he'd be more than qualified to be a Level One God!
The result still couldn't be accepted; perhaps it's because we're incompatible!
(Earth God: Heh, you have the blessing of the God King, do you think I'd dare to steal you away? Do you really think everyone is as naive as the Sea God?)
Dugu Yan injected a wisp of her spiritual power, which was instantly bounced back.
"Ugh..." The girl groaned, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and collapsed to the ground while clutching the black token.
"Yanyan!"
Dugu Bo looked anxious and immediately tried to step forward.
Lin Chuan quickly reached out to stop him, "Senior, please don't be anxious, Yanzi might have succeeded!"
"Young man Lin, are you sure you're not lying to this old man?"
How can success involve fainting directly?
Lin Chuan shook his head without explaining, and pointed to where Dugu Yan was.
Suddenly, the originally dull black token shone brightly, radiating an earthy yellow glow, turning the entire room into a sea of yellow.
As if it possessed a spirit, the token suddenly sliced through Dugu Yan's finger at the bottom, and blood quickly flowed into it, gradually staining the original earthy yellow aura with a layer of blood.
The whole process did not last long.
Suddenly, a completely different beam of light drifted out from the token, condensing into a faint, ethereal figure. It was tall and robust, its face obscured, yet as imposing as a mountain.
The illusory figure glanced at everyone present, focusing on Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling, before flashing and disappearing back into the black token.
All the earthy yellow light disappeared, and the token lay quietly in Dugu Yan's hand.
"Was that... a god?"
Inside the hall, everyone was still reeling from the strange sight they had just witnessed.
Lin Chuan chuckled and shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure, but it's probably pretty close. We'll only know the specifics once Yanzi wakes up."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes.
The girl's gaze was slightly confused, but it instantly cleared up after she took a look at her surroundings.
"Yanyan, have you qualified for the Divine Examination?" Dugu Bo asked impatiently.
Dugu Yan nodded happily, "I have successfully gained the approval of the Earth God. Now I just need to go to the assessment site to officially begin the divine test."
"Great!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was overjoyed and even smiled, a rare occurrence for him.
He used to envy Gu Yi, but now that his granddaughter has also qualified for the Divine Examination, he finally feels a bit more at ease.
"Young Lin, your kindness to me and Yanyan is beyond words. I swear here and now that no matter who the enemy is, as long as I am alive, I will never let you die before me!"
Dugu Bo's expression was serious, and his eyes were solemn.
Lin Chuan's help to the Dugu family was so great that it was beyond words; he would repay it even at the cost of his life.
"Senior Dugu, you flatter me. Given my relationship with Yanzi, it's only right."
"But don't be too happy yet. Obtaining the qualification for the God Exam does not mean that you will definitely become a god. Yanzi, you will have to work hard from now on."
Dugu Yan nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, Xiao Chuan, I will definitely not let you down!"
Congratulations, Yanzi!
Shui Lanxin couldn't help but offer her congratulations, though her eyes clearly showed envy. The other women also came forward to congratulate her, their words filled with deep envy.
"Xiao Chuan, you're being unfair!"
Shuiyue couldn't hold it in any longer; she pouted, her expression unusually resentful.
They were the ones who arrived first!
"Moon!" Shui Bing'er called out in a deep voice, her eyes filled with reproach.
Although they have a very good relationship, which has even crossed the line of friendship, it doesn't mean that they can say anything without restraint.
There are some things that they can accept if others give them to them, but they cannot accept things that others do not give them to them.
Lin Chuan rolled his eyes helplessly. "What are you thinking, Yue'er? Do you really think that inherited divine artifacts are like cabbages, something you can just pick up a bunch of whenever you want? This time it was just good luck, plus the people of the Heavenly Dou Empire didn't know their value, which is why I got a bargain."
"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that if Sister Yan and Lingling both become gods, my sister and I will be left far behind and will hold you back in the future."
Shuiyue'er realized something and hurriedly began to explain.
"Alright, I understand what you mean. We don't have any divine artifacts to inherit for the time being, but we can still make sure you can participate in the divine examination."
"real?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Chuan with anticipation in their eyes.
"Of course it's true, but it will take a little while. In the meantime, you should focus on your cultivation!"
Chapter 141 Leaving
The morning light shines on the earth, bringing vibrant life.
Shui Lanxin hurriedly returned to Tianshui City.
In the Shui family's council hall, several figures took their seats. The person in the lead was an old man with a frail face and a full head of silver hair, who was resting with his eyes closed.
She was one of the few Soul Douluos in the Shui family, and also the most senior member of the entire family. It would not be an exaggeration to call her the pillar of the family.
However, as Shui Lanxin's soul power level increased, her strength also reached the top of the family. Even though these people were a little impatient, no one dared to complain.
A moment later, a series of crisp footsteps came from outside the door.
"I'm sorry, Grandma, and all the elders, I'm not late, am I?"
The old woman slowly opened her eyes and smiled kindly, "My dear granddaughter is back. Come to Grandma's side."
Shui Lanxin nodded happily and sat down next to the old woman.
"Xin'er, is there something you need to discuss that you've gathered everyone together?" The old woman held Shui Lanxin's hand, her tone unusually gentle.
