Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 184: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Chen Ming's body had already reached the genuine strength of a Title Douluo. His martial soul had also ascended to the level of a true god-ranked soul. The two soul cores within his body, nearing the potency of divine cores, were able to shoulder a significant portion of the pressure for him.

As his soul ring's years rapidly increased, it also quickly enhanced Chen Ming's physical attributes, pushing his body to an even higher level.

At some unknown moment, a streak of golden patterns suddenly appeared within the originally crimson soul ring. The instant this golden streak emerged, the oppressive force and quality of the 100,000-year soul ring were elevated by an entire tier.

Although 100,000-year soul beasts were rare in this era, and soul beasts at the level of fierce beasts rarely appeared, the records left by many predecessors within the Spirit Hall allowed everyone, except Qian Renxue, to recognize this golden thread as a hallmark uniquely belonging to soul rings of fierce beasts.

The first strand of golden thread appeared relatively quickly, but the growth of the second strand became extraordinarily slow. Eventually, it stopped growing after reaching slightly over half the soul ring's length.

As the soul ring stabilized, the golden streak gradually faded into a pale gold color.

If the age of this soul ring were assessed by the standard of soul beast soul rings, it would be at least over 160,000 years old.

Just as Chen Ming thought he was about to complete the absorption of the soul ring, the previously calm world consciousness suddenly stirred up an unexpected twist.

After the structure of Chen Ming's soul ring had essentially stabilized, the world consciousness abruptly denied the divine-bestowed soul ring's deep access to the world's laws, freezing the absorption process at a peculiar point.

This state ensured that Chen Ming's fifth soul ring remained stable and would not collapse, but it also guaranteed that the fifth soul ring would not produce any soul skills.

Just as Chen Ming instinctively felt like cursing, the world consciousness sent a vague message to him.

After briefly deciphering it, Chen Ming realized it was good news.

The world consciousness provided Chen Ming with four coordinates. Among them, one was for a ten-thousand-year Medusa soul beast, while the other three were genuine 100,000-year soul beasts. Each of these was a super soul beast among super soul beasts, and their attributes were all highly compatible with Chen Ming.

Some were located within the Star Luo Empire, some deep within the Sunset Forest, and one on a coastal island. Regardless of where they were hiding, the world consciousness marked their locations for Chen Ming, and these markers would even shift as the soul beasts moved.

The world consciousness informed Chen Ming that it had deliberately stalled the progress of his soul ring absorption. In this state, Chen Ming could continue cultivating and increasing his soul power as if he had already acquired his fifth soul ring. Alternatively, he could hunt one of the soul beasts and absorb its soul ring, integrating it into the semi-finished fifth soul ring.

By leveraging the characteristics of the soul beast's soul ring and the divine-bestowed soul ring, the world consciousness could further extract the power left by the soul beast's ancestor for Chen Ming. Additionally, half the age of the soul beast's soul ring would be added to the divine-bestowed soul ring.

Due to the unique traits of the soul beast's soul ring, this fifth soul ring would no longer be limited by the divine-bestowed ring's original constraints. It would function like a standard 100,000-year soul ring, granting two skills.

For Chen Ming, this was equivalent to absorbing the fifth soul ring twice.

This was the reward from the world consciousness for Chen Ming, who had risked his life to rescue the Douluo Plane's Son of the Plane from the hands of a god.

"Son of the Plane?"

Faced with Chen Ming's confusion, the hazy world consciousness of the Douluo World reluctantly provided an answer.

Because the world consciousness was newly born, the explanation was fragmented and difficult to understand from a human perspective. It seemed like a jumble of cryptic codes, requiring Chen Ming half a day to decipher.

This was only possible because of Chen Ming's uniqueness. If it had been someone else—even a demigod like Qian Daoliu—they would have been rendered dazed by the chaotic and disorganized information. For an average Super Douluo, receiving such information would likely turn them into a fool on the spot.

The explanation was as follows:

Child of Destiny: Found in every generation, with some generations having multiple. Their role is to drive world progress, accumulate resources for the world, and ensure the plane's baseline development. It's possible for someone who was not originally a Child of Destiny to become one later, and vice versa.

Son of the Plane: The lifeline of the plane, extremely difficult to produce. Their task is to push the world's upper limits, activating the foundation accumulated by the world and elevating it as a whole. They are irreplaceable. If the Son of the Plane fails or dies, it would severely hinder the plane's development.

Child of Rebellion: An anomaly in the plane's operation, akin to a cancer cell. They exist to consume resources without contributing, harming others without benefiting themselves. They devour the fortune of Children of Destiny and create subordinate cancer cells. These subordinate cells obstruct the plane's development, and until they are eradicated, the Child of Rebellion is difficult to kill. If killed improperly, the Child of Rebellion will reincarnate.

Outsiders: Beings who have entered this world for various reasons, existing outside the natural order. They are potential candidates to become Child of Destiny but can also act as obstacles for other Child of Destiny or Sons of the Plane. Their potential surpasses that of Sons of the Plane, but their baseline can fall below that of Children of Rebellion.

"Douluo World, you're ridiculously honest."

Chen Ming didn't dwell on the first three roles but marveled at how Douluo World even classified Outsiders.

Hearing Chen Ming's remark, the hazy world consciousness sent a question mark, followed by another torrent of information flooding his mind.

After analyzing this new data, Chen Ming finally understood why Douluo World included Outsiders in its system.

Since the time of the Angel God's ascension, over the past ten thousand years, more than ten thousand beings from other worlds have appeared on Douluo Star.

Most of these beings were assimilated into soul beasts by Douluo World. Some of the humans from other worlds were entrusted with significant roles by the world consciousness and blessed with great fortune.

Some pushed the development of Douluo World's systems, others advanced its technology, and some simply contributed to its population growth. A few who attempted to cause major disruptions were stripped of their fortune by the world consciousness. If their actions were too outrageous, a Child of Destiny would be specifically created to deal with them.

Among these Outsiders, the most successful were a group of beings calling themselves the Evil Eyes. They willingly allowed themselves to be assimilated by Douluo World, becoming a highly prestigious species of soul beasts.

As a reward, Douluo World not only granted the Evil Eyes extraordinary longevity but also did not restrict their reproduction, allowing their population to grow explosively. On another continent, the Evil Eyes had already become the dominant species.

Douluo World was remarkably tolerant of Outsiders. Even if they contributed nothing, the world would still gift them a fortune, enabling them to enjoy wealth and prosperity. If they performed well and benefited the world, their fortune would increase, and even Outsiders could become Child of Destiny.

Interestingly, Douluo World's consciousness was aware that Chen Ming was an Outsider. Yet, when he was born, it still granted him a portion of fortune, showcasing its generosity.

With this fortune, even if Chen Ming didn't train hard, he would live a stable life without major issues. If he chose to live a carefree life, he could easily enjoy a life filled with wealth, wives, and children. If luck was on his side, his descendants might even naturally mutate to possess martial souls without any inherent flaws.

In Chen Ming's third soul ring breakthrough, when he helped resolve laws that would have otherwise required several thousand years to be addressed, he became a candidate for Child of Destiny and garnered special attention from Douluo World.
