Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

There's a saying that faith is poisonous because it's mixed with too many thoughts of sentient beings, which can affect a god's mind if absorbed.

This is indeed true.

But it depends on the situation. Those affected are wild gods and minor deities without a divine rank. For true gods with a divine rank, the power of faith they absorb is purified and filtered by the divine rank, so it doesn't pollute them at all.

Therefore, the power of faith is a good thing for gods. The God Realm relies on the power of faith provided by sentient beings in the lower realms to maintain its existence. However, the God Realm usually calls it the power of sentient thoughts, and the immortal spirit energy that permeates the God Realm is also the power of faith absorbed from the lower realms and transformed by the God Realm's central hub.

This immortal spirit energy can be seen as a purified, filtered, and concentrated essence version of the power of faith!

Even ordinary people can absorb this purified power of faith without any side effects. Taking a breath of immortal spirit energy can extend one's life by decades without any problem.

If one could stay in the God Realm forever, breathing immortal spirit energy day and night, even an ordinary person could become immortal! Moreover, after being baptized by immortal spirit energy for a long time, the body would automatically transform into a divine body and advance to godhood!

Because of this, the God Realm limits the number of mortals that gods can bring from the lower realms to the God Realm. After all, immortal spirit energy is limited. Every additional person who shares it means that the other gods get a smaller share. Naturally, there needs to be a restriction.

……

Li Chang'an closed his eyes and focused his mind. In the darkness, countless complex powers of faith surged in! They poured into his body continuously. There were many messy thoughts among them, but fortunately, his divine rank could transform, purify, and remove impurities. Otherwise, facing the endless thoughts of all beings, even if he wasn't turned into an idiot, his mind would be greatly affected.

Under the continuous infusion of the power of faith, the nine golden divine-level soul rings floating around his body began to slowly overlap and merge... Finally, they merged with the huge divine ring floating behind him like a backdrop.

As the nine soul rings completely merged into it, this divine ring also transformed, completely turning into the halo that only formal gods possess!

However, his halo is different from ordinary Tier 3 gods. Ordinary Tier 3 gods only have three circles of divine rings on their halos, but his halo has nine circles of divine rings!

However, among these nine circles of divine rings, except for the innermost circle, the remaining eight circles are in a dim and illusory state!

This means that he has the position of a God King but only the strength of the lowest Tier 3 god.

When he lights up three circles of divine rings, his strength will reach the peak of a Tier 3 god! Lighting up five circles of divine rings will make his strength reach the extreme of a Tier 2 god!

Lighting up seven circles of divine rings will make him reach the level of a Tier 1 main god!

Eight circles of divine rings will surpass the main god.

Nine circles of divine rings is the true supreme God King!

Li Chang'an estimates that before he ascends to the God Realm, the faith provided to him by the beings of Douluo Star during this period should allow him to light up the first three rings of the halo and reach the peak of a Tier 3 god!

A Tier 2 god should be impossible.

After all, the power of faith required for a god to advance a major level will be enormous! Even though Douluo Star is one of the top-level planes under the God Realm, it can only barely support a Tier 3 god.

Unless Li Chang'an is willing to waste time and stay on Douluo Star for hundreds of thousands of years, he should be able to gather enough faith to advance to a Tier 2 god.

But doing so is undoubtedly the least cost-effective behavior. He would be crazy to do that.

If Li Chang'an ascends to the God Realm, with the God Realm gathering the power of faith from hundreds of subordinate worlds, the immortal spirit energy formed after being purified by the God Realm's central hub can be directly absorbed and transformed into divine power without even needing to remove impurities!

He could directly cultivate a nine-ring halo and become a true God King in the God Realm in less than a hundred years!

Therefore, he definitely has to go to the God Realm. It would be a pity not to take advantage of such a good place.

And he can also use the resources of the God Realm to cultivate his own team. There are countless benefits, so why not go?

………

After showing a miracle.

After reaping a wave of faith from all living beings on Douluo Star, including humans and soul beasts, Li Chang'an's strength jumped from the lowest-level divine official to the level of an initial Tier 3 god!

The reason why he could improve so quickly is not only because the creatures of the Douluo world are generally strong, thus providing better faith, but also because his divine rank is at the God King level, and his efficiency in digesting and absorbing faith is extremely strong. If you were to change to another god, don't even dream of having such a big improvement in strength all at once.

Because even if ordinary Tier 3 gods collect faith, their conversion and absorption efficiency is probably less than 1% of that of a God King. Moreover, if a divine rank wants to advance, it is also related to the god's own understanding of the laws. It is not possible to forcibly improve it by just pouring in enough power of faith.

Otherwise, the five God Kings in the God Realm wouldn't have been born as God Kings. As a result, after enjoying the irrigation of immortal spirit energy in the God Realm for so many years, they are still God Kings without any progress.

"It's time to leave here."

Li Chang'an glanced at the crumbling inheritance space, stepped out, and left this buffer zone between the God Realm and the human realm.

The scene suddenly opened up. As Li Chang'an stepped out of the light gate, all the light patterns in the Sea God Hall turned blue-gold, seemingly excitedly welcoming the return of the king.

On several round platforms, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were already kneeling down, respectfully worshiping. Their eyes contained both the fanaticism of facing a god and a trace of sorrow.

Because Bo Saixi sacrificed herself...

Li Chang'an noticed their eyes and smiled slightly. He naturally wouldn't forget Bo Saixi's contribution. He had taken the initiative to communicate with the Sea God and retrieve her soul when he became a god earlier.

Now Bo Saixi's soul is in his hands, and he can revive her at any time. It's very simple for him.

With a thought from Li Chang'an, a drop of water suddenly appeared in the center of the platform. The rich and pure energy of heaven and earth surged in, constantly nourishing and pouring in... causing the drop of water to gradually expand.

When it expanded to about two meters in diameter, a vague figure could already be seen in the water drop.

"This is!"

The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians widened their eyes, and a guess that they didn't even dare to think about appeared in their hearts.

A light appeared in Li Chang'an's hand. This was Bo Saixi's soul. With a casual throw, the soul fell into the water drop and merged into that vague figure...

After a little brewing, the water drop exploded!

In the sky filled with water mist, a red-skirted figure familiar to the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians came into view...

"I am..."

Bo Saixi slowly opened her eyes, and her whole person was like waking up from a dream. Her last memory was sacrifice, and she didn't remember anything after that.
