Chapter 183: Invisible Shackles
🕑 Added 2025-03-26 15:26:09 +0000 UTC"With only level ten soul power, how long will it take to restore the original strength?” Bo Saixi was fascinated by the mermaid martial spirit in her hand, and at the same time, she thought of more things in her mind.
That is, now that she has no strength and her martial soul is no longer the God-given martial soul of the Sea God, is she still the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi that Tang Chen likes?
No no no! How can you think like that? !
Bo Saixi shook her head and quickly shook off the terrible thought in hier mind. Even if she was no longer the unrivaled Sea God Douluo, she was still Bo Saixi. How could anyone change their mind just because of this?
If this really causes me to change my mind.
So, is it his own strength and status that he loves, or is it simply because he likes the “Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi” who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him in strength?
For a moment, Bo Saixi became somewhat anxious.
When Neptune saw her like this, he thought she was disappointed because she had lost her strength. He immediately comforted her, “You don’t need to worry about your strength. You have reached the level of Limit Douluo before, and you have many years of experience… Therefore, there is no need for a test. I can directly grant you soul power and soul rings to help you quickly return to your prime.”
“However, since your martial soul is no longer the same as before, you will need some time to adapt and cannot continuously skip levels in a short period of time. But please rest assured, it won’t take long for you to return to your peak level,” he assured.
Since Neptune resurrected Bo Saixi, there was no way he would just leave her alone. He must have given her some special training to help her recover her strength quickly. Otherwise, if she were to practice on her own, it would take her dozens or even hundreds of years to recover to her peak state.
The higher the level of a soul master, the harder it is to improve. Although Tang San and his friends in the original novel became gods in their twenties, that was because the Sea God gave them special treatment, frequently gave them trials in just a few years, and also gave them soul power, gods, and soul rings… directly and blatantly gave them cheats. That’s why they were able to reach that level at such a young age.
If they were allowed to practice on their own, not to mention how long it would take to accumulate soul power, the bottlenecks at each level would be enough to trap them for a long time. Some soul masters were even stuck at a certain level for their entire lives, unable to improve at all.
As for why Neptune didn’t just give Bo Saixi a Sea God Martial Spirit, it was mainly because it was given by someone else, not her own. Since it was a God-given Martial Spirit, it could be given and taken back, and it was always controlled by others.
Since he said he would set her free, he would not do such a superfluous thing, even though such a thing would be the most desired thing for any Sea God believer.
Moreover, for Bo Saixi, this Seagod Martial Spirit was linked to the position of the High Priest, representing her past. Now that she was ready to face a brand new life, it might be a good thing to break away from the past.
“Thank you, Lord Sea God.” As expected, after hearing what he said, Bo Saixi’s eyes lit up, and the loss just now was swept away. He was used to having a strong power, and suddenly became an ordinary person, starting from scratch. He needed to practice from the beginning again, and no one could keep a normal mind.
After hearing Neptune’s assurance, Bo Saixi had no doubts, because for gods, helping people improve their strength and granting them spirit rings was nothing more than a piece of cake. Just like she was able to have such strength before, not because of her talent. It was simply because she was chosen by the Sea God that she was able to have such strength at such a young age.
“You’re welcome, this is what you deserve.” Neptune waved his hand, not thinking it was a big deal. After all, she had guarded Sea God Island for his whole life, and even sacrificed herself for him to become Sea God… Such a contribution deserved such reward.
…
The other side.
Baiyun City, inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Ye Cheng was currently in a special retreat room, doing something important. That was to break through level 100 – to become a god!
Originally, he was already infinitely close to the god level, if you had to break it down, it was level 99.9, just a little bit short of being able to officially break through to level 100!
Now that he had received feedback from his clone Neptune, although his soul power had not increased, his soul had become a unique divine soul of a god! This made him feel that the time for a breakthrough had come.
Today is the day he will become the Sword God!
In the secluded room.
Ye Cheng sat cross-legged on the futon with his eyes tightly closed. The aura that leaked out inadvertently distorted the space around his body, making it look extremely terrifying!
However, as time went by, the aura he exuded became stronger and stronger, but there always seemed to be an extra layer of barrier. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through that thin membrane.
Finally, I don’t know how much time has passed.
He gave up.
Ye Cheng opened his eyes and frowned tightly, obviously realizing that something was wrong.
“How is it possible… Logically speaking, with my background and the help of my soul, even if the last level is difficult, breaking through the hundredth level to become a god should be no problem, right?”
“But why, why is that barrier so stubborn? When I try to break through it, it’s like I’m against the entire world. I can’t shake it at all.”
“Why is that? Isn’t it said that after a soul master reaches level 99, as long as the soul power is sufficient, he can forcibly break through to level 100 without the need for a godly position?”
“Does it really require a divine status to break through?”
“But there’s no reason for that. It doesn’t make sense.”
“Unless, the problem is not with the soul master, but with this world!” Ye Cheng seemed to have thought of something and looked up into the sky. His sight seemed to see the high and mighty Divine Realm.
He closed his eyes again and began to carefully recall the Douluo novels he had read in his previous life. Now that he had become a god, he could freely browse his memories and recall anything he had forgotten.
Although he read Douluo novels at a glance in his previous life, and sometimes even skipped chapters, he missed some chapters, but he still knew some of the general settings and contents.
After reading through the Douluo novels he had read in his memory, combined with the information left to him by the Sea God, as well as the various abilities he possessed after becoming the Sea God… he gradually understood why he could not break through level 100.
“Damn it! The Divine Realm actually did this!”
“Soul masters and soul rings have been subject to countless restrictions since the beginning.”
“Even the rules of the planet have been tampered with. No wonder, no wonder… Under the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth, it would be strange for me to break through level 100!”
Ye Cheng had figured everything out at this point.
In simple terms, as a planet under the control of the Divine Realm, the rules of Douluo Star can be arbitrarily tampered with to a certain extent. Therefore, the gods of the Divine Realm set rules for this planet, so that the energy in the bodies of soul beasts on this planet will condense into soul rings after death, and soul masters who want to break through to level 100 must have a kind of permission certificate, that is, the god position.
As for the godhood, even if you collected and condensed it through faith yourself, because it is on the planet, the godhood that you condensed yourself is naturally controlled by the gods.
Do you think the throne belongs to you?
No, you are just working for my Divine Realm. The God Positions created also belong to my Divine Realm.
