Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 157 Soul Sacrifice
Thousands of miles away, one of You Chen's clones easily defeated Liya and Lijing. In order to prevent the previous rescue soul skills from happening, You Chen directly knocked them out.

Some people may wonder why the two little mermaid princesses didn't use the rescue soul skill to rescue their mother after they were away from each other for a distance.

In fact, it’s not that I don’t want to, but… I can’t.

First of all, this is an innate soul skill that only mermaids with golden blood possess.

Only the Sea Princess and Liya have it.

And there is a cool-down period of once a month.

In addition to forcibly pulling people, you can also teleport yourself to the target's side.

Liya has used it once, and now the only one who can use it is the Sea Princess.

But what would the Sea Princess do with this? Would she bring her daughter back to die after so much effort to send her away?
As for teleporting there yourself?
The area within a thousand miles was completely covered by You Chen's mental power.

Coupled with You Chen's speed, without the Sea Princess herself to hold him back, he would be able to catch up with the Crystal Palace in no time.

Not to mention that You Chen's clone is also here, and without the help of the legion, it is impossible for the Sea Princess to defeat You Chen's clone and save her two daughters.

So no matter what, this is an unsolvable situation.

A trace of the Sea Princess's spiritual power remained in her two daughters, and they reacted immediately when You Chen's clone attacked them.

When You Chen saw the ferocious look on Princess Hai's face, he realized that there was no need to explain or prove anything.

"People have to make choices when they live in this world."

You Chen smiled and said, "So, Princess Sea, do you choose your own life, or do you choose to place your hopes on the future?"

The Sea Princess looked gloomy: "How can I guarantee that you will keep your promise? Despicable human!"

Although they said words of opposition, the Sea Princess' loyal subordinates heard that the Sea Princess did have the intention of making a sacrifice, and immediately followed the spiritual connection to try to dissuade her.

"My lady Princess, you can't do that!"

"This human is so cunning, he will definitely not keep his promise!"

"He must just want to force you to die in vain!"

"Soul sacrifice, Princess, this is a fate more miserable than death!"

The ministers gave their advice in an urgent tone.

But the Sea Princess is actually the Queen of the North Sea. As an emperor, how could she be swayed by the opinions of her subordinates?

At this moment, it had the idea of ​​sacrificing all its subordinates who stayed here to protect the safety of its two daughters and allow its bloodline to be passed on.

You Chen restrained his smile and said calmly: "I am willing to swear on my martial spirit that as long as they don't take the initiative to become my enemy in the future, I will not attack them."

This is the truth.

From the moment the assassination failed, You Chen knew that it was impossible to hide the fact that he had hunted the Sea Princess today.

So he didn't mind having two mermaids deliver the message.

"Spirit of the Martial Spirit?"

The Sea Princess frowned.

In this world of faith, swearing an oath to a martial spirit is considered the heaviest oath and does have a certain binding force.

Many people believe that once they betray their oath to their martial spirit, they will be retaliated by their martial spirit, and there is even the risk of their martial spirit being shattered and they will die directly.

but……

Princess Hai glanced at You Chen and asked, "Can this man's oath be trusted?"

It is easy to imagine that the credibility of a person who has just threatened to rob other people's offspring is not high.

The most important thing is...the Sea Princess doesn't want to die!
This is understandable. Unless there is really no other option, no intelligent life will willingly rush to death!

So, is it the end of the road now?

If it really chooses to abandon these subordinates and give up its two daughters, can it escape from this man?
The hope is very slim.

Princess Sea didn't know that the reason You Chen could display such terrifying suppressive power was because he used the secret explosive method of Spirit Realm Explosion. Once he left this state, he would fall into weakness.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Sea Princess, the man in front of her seemed to have been injured in the previous battle, but in fact he had been at ease all the time. It was impossible to tell his depth and judge whether he had other cards he had not played.

The Sea Princess had to admit...even if she gave up everything, she had no chance of escaping from the other party.

"You only have the option of trusting me." You Chen said calmly, as if he had seen through the Sea Princess's thoughts.

The Sea Princess was shaken.

Yes, we are going to die anyway, so we might as well trust each other. This way there is still a little hope of continuing the bloodline.

But...it really is very unwilling.

Why, living comfortably in the North Sea and never getting involved in any disputes with the world, had to go through such a miserable experience?
The Sea Princess silently clenched her fists.

At this moment, You Chen looked at the Sea Princess, whose face was already showing signs of struggle, and deliberately added more weight, saying lightly: "Soul sacrifice is not real death. I can promise you that if I become a god one day, I can reshape your body for you, and then you can be resurrected smoothly."

"Become a god!?"

The Sea Princess looked up in astonishment, unable to believe it.

The other soul beasts also showed surprise.

You Chen had a matter-of-fact expression on his face, and said in a calm tone: "Isn't it strange? I still need your soul to be sacrificed as my spirit ring, and before this I already have the strength to defeat you. Even after all this, you still haven't realized anything?"

Princess Hai's pupils shrank, her lips trembled, and she said, "You, you are not a Titled Douluo yet?"

He is not a Titled Douluo, but he can defeat her and her subordinates with overwhelming force! ?
This... If such a person cannot become a god, then it really can't think of what kind of person can become a god.

"So, I said, is this weird?"

You Chen looked at the Sea Princess with deep eyes and said, "The Sea God you believe in was just a human spirit master in the past. And I can achieve far more than Poseidon, becoming a god? For mortals like you, it is an unattainable dream, but for me, it is just a step on the road."

"You actually addressed Lord Poseidon by his name!?"

The firm belief in her mind made the Sea Princess blurt out these words and glared at You Chen.

"It seems like you really like being a slave?"

You Chen crossed his arms lazily and nodded: "In that case, when you become my great divine beast, I won't have to think of a divine name or a divine position for you. Since you like to be inferior to others, I will also fulfill your wish. You can just be my mount in the future."

Looking at Youchen who had already planned its future, even the Sea Princess was a little stunned.

Hearing him talk about becoming a god and calling them mythical beasts, the Sea Princess felt that her own faith was a little confusing.

It was as if... I had completely lost to the opponent for some unknown reason.

Yes, although she had the idea of ​​sacrifice, it was impossible for the Sea Princess to give in in such a short time. She naturally did not want to lose to humans.

However, You Chen's words did shatter the Sea Princess's filter of God.

It pursed its pink lips and said in a questioning tone: "Even if you can really become a god, do you know what soul sacrifice is? What do you, a human, know about soul sacrifice? It is a sacrifice that completely gives up the soul and scatters the soul directly. How can it be resurrected!"

"What do I know about soul sacrifice?"

You Chen looked at the Sea Princess with contempt and sneered, "At least I know better than you. After the soul is sacrificed, it is not that the soul is scattered, but the soul resides in my soul ring just like a normal sacrifice. As long as the mental strength is strong enough, it can be revived again. Divine power is an omnipotent power. As long as the divine power is sufficient, the body can be reshaped. At that time, I will extract your soul from the soul ring and put it into a new body, and you will naturally be able to revive! Moreover, in the process of my becoming a god, the soul ring is a part of me, and you, as a part of my soul ring, can also enjoy the sublimation of the god's spirit and directly become a divine beast."

The Sea Princess was stunned when she heard this.

In fact, You Chen did not lie.

In the original novel, Xiao Wu still needs a process of soul recovery, but with Princess Hai's cultivation and mental strength, she can naturally complete the soul recovery after the sacrifice.

As for using immortal herbs and inner elixir to rebuild the body, and offering soul rings and soul bones...

To be honest, it was because Tang San was still a human spirit master at that time that he needed to go through so much trouble.

You Chen has not yet truly mastered the divine power, but over the past six months, through some analysis of the fairy spirit and analysis of the recollections of the original content, he has come to a lot of speculations.

One of them is the omnipotence of divine power.

The God-given soul rings in the divine test, the increased soul ring age, the increased soul power, and all these rewards are most likely the result of using divine power.

If one has enough divine power, it is not difficult to create a body.

Seeing Princess Hai still in a daze, You Chen snorted and said, "Seeing that you want to know so much about soul sacrifice, are you mentally prepared? Then just be quick and sacrifice yourself to me quickly! I will also wake up your two daughters and send them away!"

When the Sea Princess heard this, her eyes flickered. She gritted her teeth and finally lowered her head and said, "I can sacrifice myself to you, even my soul! But I have one more request!"

Princess Sea paused for a moment, looked up and saw that You Chen did not object directly, but looked at her silently, so she swallowed her saliva and said, "If I can really keep my soul, let me see Liya and Lijing, my two daughters again! Then...you will protect them!"

Facing the Sea Princess's hopeful gaze, You Chen suddenly felt a little strange.

There is always a weird feeling, as if a single mother is entrusting her daughter to her remarried husband.

"Okay." You Chen said, "But I won't let them eat for free. Since they follow me, they have to work for me."

Two hundred thousand year old soul beasts are equivalent to the fighting power of two Titled Douluo, and they are auxiliary Titled Douluo like mermaids.

It’s hard to say who loses and who gains.

You Chen looked at the Sea Princess and narrowed his eyes slightly.

His original idea was to trick the Sea Princess into sacrificing herself to him. As for the subsequent matter of rebuilding her body and resurrecting her, he would not worry about the trouble when the time came. It was purely an empty promise.

But now, if the two daughters of the Sea Princess joined him, became his good employees, and worked hard for him in the future... then it would be difficult not to resurrect the Sea Princess.

So - is this part of your plan? Sea Princess!
Unfortunately, in order to maintain his status, You Chen did not directly say such inexplicable words.

He just asked, "By the way, since we will be together for a long time in the future, it is not quite right to call you Sea Princess directly. What is your name?"

"Lina."

Seeing You Chen's expression, Sea Princess Lina breathed a sigh of relief. Since he specifically asked about his name, it could basically be assumed that both parties had truly reached a consensus.

She bowed slightly and smiled, "Master, my name is Lina."

Then, the two of them dismissed their attendants, and as a red light flashed, the irreversible sacrifice officially began.

Even though she had listened to You Chen's solemn words beforehand and had prepared herself mentally, Princess Sea still felt uneasy and fearful at this point.

After all, she didn't have any feelings for You Chen like Xiao Wu had for Tang San. No matter how she tried to whitewash it, she was essentially forced to die by You Chen.

However, once the sacrifice begins, it is irreversible, and she can only go ahead with it.

In fact, You Chen did not insist on any sacrifice at the beginning.

Things turned out like this just because I had a flash of inspiration after seeing Liya and the other person running away, so I just did it.

Sacrifice is entirely the soul beast's active cooperation with the soul master, which makes the absorption process smoother, with less energy loss, and the burden of the soul ring on the soul master will also be reduced.

Especially for soul sacrifice, not only will the degree of compatibility be greatly improved, but even if the endurance limit is far from the soul ring age, it can be absorbed with almost no burden.

However, sacrifice is an innate skill of a hundred thousand year soul beast, and wanting a hundred thousand year soul beast to voluntarily sacrifice itself, or sacrifice its soul... this is just a daydream for most soul masters.

The terrifying soul power fluctuations surged, and the special barrier formed by the sacrifice under the rules of heaven and earth pushed away all the soul beasts that had not completely escaped the range. The sea princess Lina also fell to the ground with her body limp. Her soul and soul power all flowed towards Youchen, and the three-meter-long mermaid body began to gradually become juvenile.

'Lina, send me the list of soul skills you can generate.'

Seeing this, You Chen mercilessly asked Lina to cooperate in his mind.

'Huh? Oh, okay.'

Lina naturally obeyed the orders of her future master, and her tone was indescribably obedient.

It seemed that in the world of two people without subordinates, Lina completely let go of the dignity and vigilance that she had to maintain as a queen.

The souls were connected through the spirit, and even if Lina had never heard of the words, her meaning was clearly conveyed in this brain-communication-like situation.

You Chen browsed through the list of soul skills given by Lina, and became more and more convinced of his original goal.

The two soul skills of his target are both within the range of options.

However, all the ones Lina listed did not develop You Chen's martial soul power, but were completely based on the soul skills of the Sea Princess.

Theoretically, with such a high degree of compatibility, relying on the human race's own adaptability to spiritual attributes, plus 590,000 years - no, with the blessing of the Youchen Soul Ring Year Card, it is already 600,000 years of energy, which is enough to forcibly give the Stardust Dragon certain spiritual attributes.

A moment of hesitation flashed through You Chen's mind.

Should we choose to give Stardust Dragon the spiritual attribute, or make no changes?

The necessary condition for evolving into a Meteor Dragon is a calm and peaceful mind. Perhaps, choosing this development path is exactly what is needed to pave the way for the evolution of a Stardust Dragon?
However, You Chen recalled the perfect posture of the Stardust Dragon that he saw when he saw the origin, gritted his teeth, and finally decided not to make any changes.

Now, the stardust power formed by the fusion of the three powers is the most perfect power. If the spiritual attribute is added, it may seem no problem at first glance, but it may be as polluted as the evil spirit before!

And with the sacrifice of Lina's soul, plus the terrifying period of 600,000 years, the changes that will be brought about will definitely be irreversible!

If something goes wrong, the roads that already have the power of stardust will be completely abandoned!
This is a huge loss that You Chen cannot accept!
Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise that Lina agreed to perform the soul sacrifice. I had never imagined such a situation.

You Chen decided to follow the original plan and choose two soul skills based on the Sea Princess!

This is absolutely correct!

After informing Lina of his goal and asking her to help him, in order to increase the strength of his soul skills after they were finally formed, You Chen transmitted his thoughts in his mind: "Lina, choose the head soul bone for your soul bone drop! As for soul bone skills, is there any difference between the soul bone skill list generated here and the soul ring skills?"

At this moment, Lina was quite confused.

Because she had discovered that her soul ring was not absorbed as a Soul Douluo breaking through the Title Douluo, but... the sixth ring! ?
"So the master is not even a Contra?"

She was still surprised and shocked. She felt an inexplicable power surging into the soul ring, and then the soul ring and her years of cultivation within the soul ring easily exceeded 600,000!

It is normal for Lina to be confused after a series of events that are enough to shock her worldview. Who wouldn't be confused?
"Lina?" You Chen asked again in doubt.

'I am here!'

Princess Lina of the sea stood at attention quickly in the spirit ring, and then she came back to her senses. This was not the time to be distracted. Recalling You Chen's question just now, she quickly explained: "Depending on the position of the spirit bone, the spirit skills that can be attached will be somewhat different. Especially the head spirit bone is very special. Basically, it attaches spiritual skills. But the spirit bone has fewer restrictions on spirit skills than the spirit ring, so the range of choices is correspondingly larger. Master, this is the list of optional spirit skills for the head spirit bone."

A long paragraph may seem to take a minute or two to speak, but through this zero-distance spiritual connection, it only takes a moment.

You Chen looked through the list of soul bone skill options, and soon his eyes lit up.

He even discovered the previous rescue skill "Mermaid's Guardian" in it.

Not only can you rescue people to your side, you can also teleport yourself to the rescue target to provide rescue.

After reading the description of this skill, You Chen belatedly realized the limitation of the skill. He also realized that Lina at that time really had no way out as he guessed, and that this factor might have been the reason why she agreed to the sacrifice so easily.

The functionality of this soul skill is self-evident.

The original mermaid's protection needs to be used deliberately by people of the same race and blood. If it is converted into a soul bone skill, you only need to establish a mental anchor point in advance, and You Chen can summon the target to his side at any time.

If there is a target that you want to protect, the value of this soul skill is self-evident.

For someone who is protective of his family like Luo Feng, the protagonist of Swallowed Stars, or someone who values ​​friendship like Xiao Yan, the protagonist of Fights Break Sphere, this is definitely a necessary skill.

Even if there is one ultimate skill missing, they probably won't hesitate and will directly choose this skill.

However... You Chen doesn't have such an object.

Even Grace, Ignis, Qian Renxue, Yan, these close people, were not worth it for You Chen to spare a soul bone skill just for them.

Apart from forcibly protecting people, this soul skill does not have much use.

If you can forcibly leave an anchor point in the enemy's spiritual sea, it can indeed achieve the effect of a zero-range raid.

But being able to forcibly leave a mental anchor point for the enemy in battle, You Chen can use his mental power to directly crush the opponent, which is somewhat redundant.

"No, that's not right!"

A light bulb went off in You Chen's mind.

You Chen had never thought of using this soul skill to launch a surprise attack before, because the target he needed to launch a surprise attack could not be forcibly planted with a spiritual anchor point.

And even if they want to set it up for the people around them, how can the people who can often walk in front of them bring this spiritual anchor to them?

After noticing something was wrong, anyone with a little bit of intelligence would know that something was wrong and report it first. This would lose the most important prerequisite of a surprise attack: the person being attacked is "unprepared".

But You Chen now suddenly recalled a person, a person who would not make such reports and who was often close to the person whom You Chen regarded as a target - Hu Liena!

Several years have passed since You Chen planted the seed of fear in Hu Liena with the Soul-Shocking Technique. Now, her fear of You Chen is no longer such that she has an epileptic seizure-like reaction whenever they meet.

But if You Chen does something to her again, the protection mechanism will be triggered again, causing her to "forget" what happened.

Thus, a perfect nail was successfully made.

As for wasting a soul skill slot for Bibi Dong?

Basically, the effects of most soul ring skills and soul bone skills are greatly reduced when they reach the level of gods, and are completely inferior to the skills created by the gods themselves.

Although You Chen has not yet become a god, he has already considered the enemies he will face after becoming a god, so he tries his best to choose functional and mechanism-based soul skills.

Even for these two soul skills, the effects are greatly weakened after becoming a god.

Is it worthwhile to occupy a soul skill slot just for one of the main enemies before becoming a god, or to think a little worse... for one of the main enemies in the early stage of becoming a god?

Even if it is not used in the end, You Chen will not feel that it is a waste.

Unfortunately, apart from this soul skill, You Chen did not see any other skills involving space.

Finally, he confirmed with Lina whether spirit rings and spirit bones could choose repeated spirit skills. After receiving a positive answer, You Chen's four spirit skill choices were finally finalized.

Soul Ring Skills: Curse of the Stardust Heart, which is the Sea Princess's innate skill, Heart of the Ocean; Light of Despair, which is a trick that forcibly imprisoned You Chen and sealed You Chen's soul power.

Soul Bone Skills: Curse of the Heart of the Ocean, which is the Sea Princess's innate skill, the Heart of the Ocean; Guardian of the Mermaid, which is a two-way rescue skill.
