Something major happened?
Jiang Chen felt a bit dazed. He paused for a moment and asked, "Senior, I've always abided by the law. What major trouble could I possibly be in?"
The Asura God's tone grew solemn. "The circumstances of your tribulation have been exposed. Almost every deity in the God Realm saw the scene of your tribulation."
"Didn't you foresee this long ago?" Jiang Chen interjected.
"No." The Asura God continued, "There is an old fellow in the God Realm who is most skilled in prophecy. The things he prophesies have never been wrong.
"Your exposure this time drew his attention. He prophesied that you will become a calamity to the God Realm, and that the God Realm will be destroyed by your hands."
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. He felt an immense crisis descending upon him, a sudden tightness in his chest, and hurriedly asked, "Does that mean many gods want to kill me?"
He was merely a weak Soul Douluo.
The Asura God said, "Things haven't reached that terrible stage yet. I've temporarily suppressed it. The God Realm Committee has unanimously agreed to keep your actions under constant surveillance. If you truly become utterly wicked and commit heinous crimes, then even I won't be able to save you."
"Senior, I'm just a tiny Soul Douluo. How could I possibly threaten the entire God Realm? There are so many gods in the God Realm. Even if I inherit the Asura God position, I couldn't stand against the whole God Realm, could I?" Jiang Chen voiced his doubt.
The Asura God praised him, "It seems you're not stupid after all. Precisely because of that, our committee did not fully believe that prophecy and left you a thread of life.
"But if you recklessly slaughter the innocent in the future, combined with that old fellow's prophecy, I'm afraid even I won't be able to protect you."
Jiang Chen let out a breath of relief and said, "Rest assured, I'll be careful. Thank you for the reminder, Senior."
The Asura God's tone remained tense as he continued, "Even if you keep to yourself and behave, you may still face danger."
"Why?" Jiang Chen suddenly felt somewhat aggrieved.
Did that mean even if he did nothing at all, there would still be gods wanting to kill him?
The Asura God said, "Your talent has aroused others' wariness. There is a fellow who has always wanted to monopolize the power of the God Realm. Your appearance may have made him feel threatened."
"So he wants to eliminate me?" Jiang Chen suddenly felt a surge of anger in his chest, stifling him.
The Asura God said, "It's only a possibility. However, I'll keep a close watch on him. What you need to do is raise your cultivation as quickly as possible and complete the Asura's Three Trials as soon as you can. Once you become the Asura God, these threats will naturally be resolved."
Between that prophecy and Jiang Chen, he had resolutely chosen Jiang Chen.
Because he understood Jiang Chen. Although his martial soul was evil, his nature was not that of a truly vicious and evil person.
"Thank you, Senior. I'll hurry to improve." Jiang Chen said gratefully.
He hadn't expected the Asura God to do this for a mere mortal like him. Hearing the Asura God say that the fellow wanted to monopolize the power of the God Realm, Jiang Chen could guess that the god's status and strength were probably not beneath the Asura God's.
The Asura God gave an "mm" and said no more.
Jiang Chen's heart was heavy. He hadn't expected that after successfully overcoming the tribulation, he would end up entangled in such troublesome matters.
From what the Asura God had said before, he had thought that after the tribulation, many gods would be fighting over him as an inheritor.
Instead… it had brought him a life-threatening disaster.
Previously everything had been fine. Apart from the Asura God accidentally discovering the secret of his tribulation, no other gods had found out.
But this time during the tribulation, that kind of shielding against the God Realm was somehow gone.
Could it be… that the system had a problem?
Jiang Chen patted his head. This tribulation was clearly something the system had arranged. Now that something like this had happened, it was definitely connected to the system.
Jiang Chen thought of two possibilities: one was that the system had done it intentionally, the other that it was unintentional.
If unintentional, then the system had malfunctioned.
If intentional, was this a test the system was giving him?
Unfortunately the system had no form. Otherwise, he would definitely give this system a vicious beating.
A short while later, he calmed down and focused his attention on the system interface.
There was nothing abnormal on the system interface. In the attributes column, his zombie cultivation had already risen to the eighth rank, and his soul master cultivation had reached rank 84 Soul Douluo.
His gaze shifted toward the inventory. There was a golden treasure box there, intermittently flashing with golden radiance.
Jiang Chen suppressed the small excitement in his heart and opened the treasure box with a thought.
Golden light flashed, and three items dropped out of the treasure box.
One was the familiar Thunder Tribulation Liquid. The other two looked like spirit ring upgrade coupons.
It won't give me two more spirit ring upgrade coupons, will it… Jiang Chen thought to himself as he attached his will to them.
"Inventory Expansion Coupon? Expands the space of the inventory."
"Cultivation System Separation Book? With the zombie system as primary and the other systems as secondary, it can condense the secondary system's cultivation into an avatar."
Jiang Chen completely ignored the Inventory Expansion Coupon. His interest was entirely captivated by this System Separation Book.
He carefully read the additional information that appeared in his mind.
The System Separation Book, after use, could separate his soul master cultivation and condense it into a soul master avatar that possessed the soul master's cultivation but lacked the zombie abilities.
The process of condensation required consuming a large amount of his own essence blood, and his soul would also have to be split in half. One careless moment and his soul could scatter and dissipate…
Jiang Chen read the description of this System Separation Book. In essence it was condensing an avatar, and it made his heart pound with alarm.
Consuming essence blood was still acceptable, but splitting the soul in half, he estimated he himself would be done for.
Just thinking about it felt somewhat terrifying.
Yet an avatar held an irresistible temptation for him.
With an avatar, he would be able to do many things at the same time.
He shook his head and shifted his gaze back to the Inventory Expansion Coupon.
"The empty slots in the inventory were already more than I could ever use up. What use do I have for this expansion coupon?"
Jiang Chen felt rather speechless inside.
Might as well use it… With a thought, he chose to use it.
At once, the entire inventory interface vanished, replaced by a progress bar.
Above the progress bar was a line of text: Inventory upgrading…
For some inexplicable reason, a sense of anticipation rose in Jiang Chen's heart again. This inventory upgrade seemed somewhat out of the ordinary.
Finally, when the progress bar reached one hundred percent, a grayish-white, nebula-like vortex appeared in the original position of the inventory.
Jiang Chen's spirit jolted as he looked in astonishment at this mass of "nebula" slowly rotating.
This seemed to be a door? Jiang Chen wasn't quite sure.
His will slowly approached it. The moment it neared this mass of "nebula," with a whoosh it was sucked inside.
Jiang Chen's spirit blurred for a moment, and then he discovered that his consciousness had appeared in a strange space.
This space was about a hundred meters in diameter. The ground was emerald-green grassland, and faint white mist drifted through the space, like immortal qi.
Jiang Chen subconsciously took a deep breath and felt his entire body become comfortable, as if he had inhaled true immortal qi and could ascend and become an immortal in the next moment.
"Hmm? How can I breathe?" Jiang Chen instantly sensed something was wrong.
He looked down and discovered that he actually had a body within this space.
This body was somewhat illusory, somewhere between transparent and solid.
"This should be a body condensed from my consciousness. But how did the upgraded inventory turn into a space?"
Jiang Chen's mind was full of question marks.
Just then, a string of information entered his mind.
The eyes of the body condensed from his consciousness abruptly brightened.
This space could store external items. The key point was that it could store living beings!
Apart from his main body being unable to appear inside it, he could even take other people into this system space.
Jiang Chen felt satisfied. He had originally thought this Inventory Expansion Coupon was chicken ribs, but looking at it now, it was actually quite good.
Carrying around a huge space a hundred meters in diameter.
He looked around the space. The white mist was extremely dense and slowly rolling.
In the direction of the ceiling it was all white; the height should also be about a hundred meters.
With a thought, Jiang Chen appeared at the edge of the space and reached out to touch those thick mists.
The surface of the mist had a resistance that hindered his consciousness body from penetrating inside.
"Deep within this mist, there seems to be something attracting me."
Jiang Chen's brows furrowed. The body condensed from his consciousness could not pass through, and even his vision could not see through this heavy mist.
There's still one chapter unfinished. Guests came to the house tonight. I'll try to find time to write. The update might be rather late.
