Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 74: Nine Tests of Life, Xue Qinghe's Abnormality
There are five main gods in the divine world. Life and destruction lay the foundation of the divine world with the power of creation. Evil and goodness bring about the contradictions and changes in life that promote the prosperity of the divine world. Shura determines the balance of the divine world with killing.

……

The noise of carriages and horses broke the tranquility of the morning light.

An undetectable divine will broke through the barriers of time and space, entered the courtyard, and landed on the forehead of the man who was resting at his desk.

Waking up from the dreamlike nothingness, Ikehira seemed to see a goddess full of "life".

The goddess held out her hand, and a green-gold "tree seed" fell from her hand into the man's hand.

Chi Ping received a lot of information, and in a daze, he asked a question.

"So...why me?"

[Every suitable person can get the test of life]

……

Chi Ping was actually quite confused.

He was just doing research in the yard, and suddenly he felt sleepy and took a nap. Suddenly, he was chosen by the Goddess of Life and given a godly assessment called "Nine Tests of Life".

The reason why we can be sure that it is the God of Life and not some other god, or a joke played by a master of illusion, is because of the "feeling". A feeling that cannot be expressed in words.

When He comes, you will know that it is life.

There is a myth on the mainland that one can become a god at a hundred levels. Chi Ping knew with a little thought that this was the test for becoming a god.

Chi Ping felt uncomfortable with the pie falling from the sky. The sudden appearance of the noble life force caused his martial soul to temporarily lose contact. The camouflage and defense including the mycelium clothing suddenly went out of control, making Chi Ping's mind blank.

So much so that after accepting the assessment for the position of God, his first reaction was not joy, but to regain control of the mycelium and put on his clothes.

The crisis was resolved, and Chi Ping finally had the mind to continue thinking about the "Nine Tests of Life".

[The first of the nine tests of life - let the seeds of the ancient tree of life sprout, the test time is unlimited]

Hey~
Touching the green-gold tree-shaped divine pattern on his forehead, Chi Ping sighed.

"I don't know how such a big seed was stuffed in... and does this count as a tattoo? Hiss! I'm not going to become a delinquent, am I?"

The Ancient Tree of Life is the main body and exclusive super artifact of the Goddess of Life, and is also one of the pillars of the God Realm. If one wants to inherit the throne of the Goddess of Life, the first and most important test is to make the seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life germinate.

In a sense, the assessment of the God of Life is to cultivate a new ancient tree of life.

Now this "seed" is hidden in the divine pattern between Chi Ping's eyebrows. This seems to be a high-level skill of life and space, which Chi Ping cannot understand at all.

But this also saved Chi Ping a trouble.

The tree of life is a spherical seed the size of a human head. Once activated, it must be connected to nature at all times. It might be a bit difficult to put it in a storage soul guide and carry it around.

The above is the message that was passed to Chi Ping along with the coming of the divine test, and along with it came an opportunity to answer questions, but Chi Ping did not seize it.

The germination of the tree of life requires sufficient energy supply, and the core of the first divine test is to collect enough energy.

"Enough energy...it doesn't say how much is enough!" Ikehira complained.

Is it the soul power of a soul king that is enough, or the soul power of a level 99 Titled Douluo that is enough, or is it the entire energy of a city, a forest, or a continent that is enough?

Considering that the tree species is the offspring of the split artifact, I am afraid that this first test will not be so easy to pass.

ah~
Chi Ping sighed again, then connected to the mycelium and absorbed soul power, intending to try how much soul power was needed to fill the tree species.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

Until the sun sets.

ah~
Ikehira sighed again, and it felt like he sighed more in one day than he had in the past month.

"Sure enough, it's not that easy."

A look of sadness appeared on the calm face again.

If the speed of infusing soul power is compared to releasing water from a pipe, then the soul power required for the tree of life to sprout is an ocean. It would take an unknown amount of time to fill up this ocean.

Chi Ping decided to slow down the transmission speed but keep the transmission state. Although there is a way to obtain a large amount of energy in a short period of time, just like the time in Wuhun City, all the energy of a piece of land was absorbed. The massive amount of energy obtained can definitely delay the germination of the tree of life, but this does not conform to Chi Ping's philosophy, and he will not do it.

"Take your time. There's no time limit anyway."

"What are you..."

A familiar voice came from the courtyard gate, and Xue Qinghe came to Chi Ping at lightning speed, and his palm fell on the tree of life pattern on his forehead.

Chi Ping then remembered that he was so busy rearranging his mycelium clothing that he forgot about his disguise!

The pattern of the tree of life seemed to be particularly sensitive, and Xue Qinghe's hand felt particularly soft when it fell on it.

"The inheritance of the divine throne!" Xue Qinghe exclaimed, his voice distorted.

Chi Ping was stunned, "You know?"

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and it took him a long time to calm down, but the shock in his eyes never diminished.

He sat down next to Chi Ping and said in a deep voice, "There are records of becoming a god at level 99. I have learned some of it by chance. It is said that if a peerless Douluo who has reached level wants to go further, he must find the inheritance of a god and become a god after completing the assessment."

After saying that, Xue Qinghe looked at Chi Ping deeply and said, "The divine pattern on your forehead is the symbol of the divine assessment, and it is the highest level of assessment inheritance. What did you do?"

Chi Ping thought carefully and said, "I didn't do anything. I was chosen all of a sudden."

"I didn't do anything! Are you kidding me?" Xue Qinghe was a little crazy.

"[Every suitable person can get a life assessment] This is what the goddess said when the assessment came." Chi Ping said, and then continued the research that he had not completed last night. "Maybe the gods also want a successor, but they just haven't met the right person. I just met the requirements and was chosen."

"What is your assessment?" Xue Qinghe asked impatiently, but immediately realized, "I made a mistake. The assessment is related to the inheritance of the gods, so it should be kept secret."

"[Let the seeds of the ancient tree of life germinate, and the test period is unlimited] This is the content of the first test." Chi Ping said casually.

Xue Qinghe stood there in a daze, unable to understand Chi Ping's train of thought.

The gods are testing you!
Become a god!
This is too frank!

"That's what you said? Aren't you afraid that I will trip you up? Or that I will not be able to resist the temptation and use some evil method to take away your inheritance?"

Chi Ping said nonchalantly: "Will you? Besides, aren't we friends? I believe you."

"It's really... a heavy trust."

"It's not a big deal. The God's Assessment is just a qualification. It just means that I have the possibility to become a so-called God. 'Maybe' is not 'necessarily' or 'certainly'. Besides... it's just a God. I don't think it's a big deal."

Xue Qinghe frowned, "Chi Ping, you shouldn't be disrespectful to the gods."

Chi Ping still looked up at the dim sky, "Qinghe, what do you think gods are?"

"Isn't God just God? What else could it be?"

"I mean what you think God is like."

"Hmm... omnipotent?"

"What does it mean to be omnipotent?"

Xue Qinghe was speechless, "I haven't thought about this..."

“Everything is relative, and omnipotence is a false proposition. There are always things that even God cannot do, such as creating a life greater than God.

There are things that humans cannot do, and so do gods. It's just that humans cannot do more. If humans can do as many things as gods, can they also be called "gods"?
From this perspective, a 'god' is just a more powerful 'human'. Maybe without this 'god of life' assessment, I can also become a 'god' myself? "

"You are really confident." Xue Qinghe was speechless.

"Think about it. If you don't even dare to think about it, what's the point of life?"
