Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 264: The Glorious Holy Spirit Religion, the God of Death

The clothes he was wearing were a set of regular clothing from the Peerless Tang Sect era, not the Shrek Academy uniform.
The difference between this dress and the clothes of these people is obvious, just like the difference between ancient costumes and modern clothes.
The Soul Saint Elder suddenly complimented the dress, saying that its design was very novel and astonishing.
It's a bit tattered, this person must have experienced battle before.
Shi Yu's clothes were damaged when he entered the outer space, and he didn't have time to change clothes afterwards.
"Rest here for a while, we'll set off in half an hour," the Soul Saint said to the others, pulling Shi Yu to sit on a rock.
Others with less serious injuries were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, while others were responsible for caring for those with more serious injuries.
The old Soul Saint also had a lot of wounds on his body. He was bandaging them while talking to Shi Yu.
Shi Yu learned a lot of information from the Soul Saint Elder. He was surprised in his heart, but appeared calm on the surface.
The information the old man said was not enough for him to make a direct judgment.
After all, the old man couldn't possibly tell him directly that this was thousands of years before the Peerless Tang Sect era.
He still needed to make a judgment based on what he had read in history books regarding the years and months mentioned by the other party.
Fortunately, he had read a lot of historical materials during the Peerless Tang Sect period, otherwise he would not have known how many thousand years ago this was.
This was approximately 18,540 years away from the time of the Peerless Tang Sect where he was.
The continental landscape during this period was relatively chaotic, with dozens of countries, large and small, dominating the continent. The Xingluo Empire had already begun to take shape, and was considered an upper-middle-tier nation among the dozen or so.
The Tiandou Empire did not exist at this time. According to the trajectory of history, it would take more than two thousand years for the Tiandou Empire to come into being.
The existence of a dozen or so countries has doomed the continent to instability. Conflicts frequently break out between nations, and the people have long suffered from the chaos of war.
Due to the chaos of war, evil spirit masters are very powerful in this era. They do not hide in the dark, but exist in the sun.
The power of evil spirit masters in this era is called the Holy Spirit Church. The Holy Spirit Church has its own city and has established branches in various countries to spread its faith and recruit believers.
Hearing this, Yu was a little confused. How could the Holy Spirit Church have such a glorious past?
During the Peerless Tang Sect era, the Holy Spirit Cult could only hide in the shadows. If it weren't for Xu Tianran, they wouldn't have dared to show up publicly.
It's not an exaggeration to say that they were hated by everyone during the Peerless Tang Sect era.
However, in this era, the Holy Spirit Church not only dared to appear in public, but also vigorously spread its faith, recruited believers, and expanded its scale.
It is said that the Holy Spirit Church is the most powerful force in the world, boasting millions of followers.
Of course, these millions are definitely not all soul masters.
The number of soul masters among them was about 50,000 to 60,000, which was an exaggerated number and made Shi Yu feel very surprised.
You have to know that during Tang San's time, the Spirit Hall could only gather this many spirit masters even if it recruited 70% to 80% of the world's spirit masters. In the more distant past, how could a single force gather 50,000 to 60,000 spirit masters?
"The Holy Spirit Cult's leader, the God of Death, possesses the ability to grant ordinary people the ability to cultivate. Many of the Holy Spirit Cult's soul masters were artificially created by others," the old Soul Saint explained.
When the Soul Saint mentioned Death, his body trembled, and Shi Yu could sense his fear.
"Death God?" Shi Yu thought of the original story, when Huo Yuhao encountered the Death Messenger in the Mingdou Mountains, the latter mentioned the Death God. Could this be the Death God he was referring to?
"The Peerless Tang Sect's Holy Spirit Sect might have originated from this era's Holy Spirit Sect. It seems reasonable that the God of Death is the same person." Shi Yu temporarily regarded this as a single person.
What he was more concerned about was not whether the two were the same person, but the power of the Death God, which gave ordinary people the ability to cultivate.
Simply put, this allows ordinary people with martial souls but no innate soul power to become soul masters who can practice.
This ability was somewhat exaggerated, he had never heard of it before.
He wanted to know more, but the Soul Saint knew only so much and could not provide him with more information.
All we know is that those who are endowed with innate soul power will have their martial souls mutated, transforming from a normal-tempered person into a violent, vicious, and bloodthirsty villain.
"Why do so many people still join the Holy Spirit Church when the side effects are so severe?" Shi Yu couldn't help but ask.
The old Soul Saint smiled helplessly: "In this chaotic world, all people want is to survive, and only those with strength can survive."

"Becoming a little more brutal is not unacceptable to them as long as they can survive."

"And the God of Death is consolidating the Godhood. Once successful, he promises to take all the followers of the Holy Spirit Church to the divine realm and let them become gods together."

"The temptation is too great, and few people can resist it."

Shi Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "It shouldn't be easy to achieve godhood, right? Does this God of Death have a chance of success? What level has he reached now? Ninety-nine?"

"He had already reached the ninety-ninth level of the peerless realm two hundred years ago. His cultivation must have improved significantly over the past two hundred years."

"It's even possible that he has already reached the 100th level of the Supreme Realm. Perhaps all he needs to become a god is a divine rank," the Soul Saint said solemnly.
Shi Yu couldn't help but shrink his pupils. This god of death was so powerful.
He had no doubt that a level 100 expert would appear in this era, because there were examples of people who had created their own godhood, so what was so unacceptable about being level 100?
"Could the person I saw before be the God of Death?" Shi Yu thought of the scenes he saw at the exit of the time tunnel.
As he approached the exit, he saw a scene of the Angel God becoming a deity, followed by a scene of two people fighting fiercely.
One of them was an Angel God, or more precisely, an Angel God before he became a god. His opponent was clearly not a good person, but he was extremely powerful, and might even be the God of Death.
Their fight took place before the Angel God became a god. After defeating the God of Death, the Angel God seemed to have taken the final step and successfully created his own godhood.
"Then does your Spirit Hall have anyone who can rival the God of Death?" Shi Yu asked.
The power that the Soul Saint Elder belongs to is the Spirit Hall, which is a super power second only to the Holy Spirit Church in this era.
"Yes, there definitely is. The angels will lead us to defeat the Holy Spirit Cult and expel all filth from the world." The Soul Saint's tone suddenly became passionate, and he said with great certainty.
His expression was full of piety, and Shi Yu could sense his enthusiasm through his expression. He probably regarded the so-called angel as more important than his own life.
