Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 910: A Genius's Suggestion

"Oh, the Divine Trial," Chen Huaian remarked, his face devoid of emotion.

"Oh~ The Divine Trial..." Li Qingran echoed, nodding in contemplation.

Little Rabbit: "..."

Wait, what kind of reactions were these from the two of them!

That was a Divine Trial! Why did they appear so utterly unfazed!

Did they not possess even a sliver of reverence for the deities?

Li Qingran, oblivious to Little Rabbit's shifting emotions, mused for a moment before stating, "So, I must undergo the trials set forth by these deities to acquire a god-bestowed World Ring. And by passing a deity's trial, one inherits that deity's Divine Position... is that how I should comprehend it?"

Little Rabbit affirmed with a nod, "Yes, that is precisely it."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingran pouted her small lips and entwined her arm with Chen Huaian's. "Master, I have no desire to inherit the Divine Positions of those gods."

Chen Huaian appeared taken aback. "Then what is it that you wish to do?"

Li Qingran declared, "I... I wish to inherit *your* Divine Position."

Chen Huaian: "..."

Little Rabbit, Jadewater Jiao, Purple-Gold Flame Bear: "..."

Seriously, was that even a coherent human utterance?

Chen Huaian gently patted Li Qingran's head, a smile gracing his lips. "However, your Master does not possess a Divine Position..."

"Then Master can go beat one up and claim it," Li Qingran’s eyes twinkled, a playful smirk curling at the corner of her mouth. "Master, you require a Million-Year World Ring to fully unseal your power, correct? So, let us participate in the Divine Trials to obtain god-bestowed World Rings. But we shall only take the rings, eschewing the inheritance of the positions. Once your power is completely restored, you can simply vanquish a Divine Position into submission. Subsequently, you can establish a Divine Trial for your disciple; I shall undertake your trial, and then inherit your Divine Position. How does that sound?"

Li Qingran blinked her large, innocent eyes, observing Chen Huaian with an expectant gaze.

Her proposition sounded astonishingly naive.

So much so that the faces of the hundred-thousand-year World Beasts standing nearby turned a sickly shade of green.

Yet, as Chen Huaian mulled it over with careful consideration...

Hiss—!

It appeared... to be a remarkably viable plan.

There were countless deities within this Canglan World, thus numerous Divine Trials must exist. He merely needed to fulfill the deities' prerequisites for participation and secure the god-bestowed World Rings.

He was confident that with his Golden Immortal cultivation, he could utterly crush ninety-nine percent of the deities residing in the Canglan Realm. Why then, would he permit Li Qingran to inherit the positions of these so-called 'trash' gods?

That would be nothing short of squandering the prodigious talent of his beloved disciple.

Observing Chen Huaian, who was genuinely contemplating the idea, Little Rabbit couldn't suppress an absurd notion—was this White-clothed Swordsman actually entertaining Li Qingran's audacious proposal?

What did he perceive the myriad deities to be?

World Ring dispensaries?

Such audacious behavior was bound to incite the ire of not just one deity, but many!

She could vividly imagine the scene of Chen Huaian and Li Qingran being obliterated by enraged deities.

Even armed with two Million-Year World Rings, they would remain but slightly larger insects before true deities.

"I believe—" Chen Huaian clapped his hands together decisively. "—it is feasible!"

He offered Li Qingran an emphatic thumbs-up. "Disciple, you are truly a genius! This concept of yours is absolutely brilliant!"

"Hehe!" Li Qingran responded, a touch of bashfulness coloring her cheeks as she stuck out her tongue. "I'm simply relieved Master doesn't deem my idea to be childish."

"Childish? Not at all!" Chen Huaian chuckled heartily. "That is a grand ambition!"

He had to concede, Li Qingran's suggestion had directly unlocked new avenues of thought for him.

Turning his gaze towards the dumbfounded Little Rabbit, he inquired calmly, "You mentioned there are certain prerequisite conditions for participating in a Divine Trial, correct? What are they? Please elaborate."

Little Rabbit drew a deep breath, regarding Chen Huaian with a peculiar expression. She was almost entirely convinced that Chen Huaian intended to proceed precisely as Li Qingran had outlined.

On the grounds of good conscience, she felt obligated to attempt dissuasion.

However, she then recalled that this White-clothed Swordsman before her was the slayer of Tang Er's father.

If Chen Huaian were to meet his end, would that not constitute vengeance for Tang Er?

After all, having shared their lives day and night, she found it difficult to simply let go of Tang Er.

Weighing these complex thoughts and observing Chen Huaian's resolute demeanor, a flicker of selfishness ignited within Little Rabbit's heart, eclipsing her urge to persuade.

She replied with the whole truth, "The fundamental prerequisite for undertaking a Divine Trial is that the Battle Master participating must possess the rank of a level 99 Legendary Battle Master. Not even a single level less is allowed. Furthermore, the Battle Soul of the participating Battle Master must exhibit compatibility with that specific deity's Divine Position. For instance, in order to engage in the Fire God's Divine Trial, the associated Battle Soul must bear a connection to fire... such as a fire chicken, a fire arrow, or a fireball... any of these would suffice."

Chen Huaian grasped the concept upon hearing her explanation.

It bore a striking resemblance to the various Immortal Positions within the Cangyun Realm.

The specific path one cultivated dictated the kind of Immortal they would ultimately become.

Should a path already have an individual who had ascended to Immortality, the selection then hinged upon whose bloodline proved purer and whose comprehension of the path was demonstrably deeper.

Those capable of mastering more of the path would naturally ascend to the ranks of Immortal Officials, while the rest would remain as mere ordinary Immortals under the jurisdiction of said official.

To achieve complete mastery of a particular path, one was compelled to comprehend it to its absolute zenith, thereby eclipsing all other Immortals.

Naturally, an alternative method existed—one could resort to eliminating all existing Immortals. Subsequently, all associated bloodlines would then rightfully belong to the victor who vanquished them.

If Li Qingran were to participate in these Divine Trials and accept a Divine Position, her ultimate fate would be to serve as a subordinate to some deity.

In such a scenario, why not leverage these god-bestowed World Rings to unleash his own power? With that, he could directly forge a divine path through sheer force and slaughter.

Noticing Chen Huaian's furrowed brow, Little Rabbit assumed he was contemplating which deity's divine power might align with Li Qingran's Battle Soul.

Little did she realize, Chen Huaian was already nurturing intentions of murderous wrath towards the gods themselves.

She gave her head a little scratch and offered a helpful clarification, "Some deities are not overly stringent regarding the compatibility between a Battle Master's Battle Soul and their divine power, provided the Battle Master meets the other stipulated requirements. Take, for example, deities whose divine powers are more abstract, like the God of Death—participants in his Divine Trial are permitted to possess any classification of Battle Soul."

Chen Huaian's eyes gleamed with newfound interest upon hearing this.

Such a deity was precisely what he desired.

He found himself drawn to this particular brand of hands-off deity who set forth conditions yet refrained from micromanaging the process.

If they were to encounter an exceptionally conscientious deity, his and Li Qingran's carefully laid plan would undoubtedly face significant obstacles.

After all, wouldn't any deity find it peculiar to witness a participant adorned with World Rings granted by other divine beings?

"This God of Death sounds rather amenable," Chen Huaian mused.

Stroking his chin, he inquired with considerable interest,

"Do you happen to know the location where one can participate in the God of Death's Divine Trial? The basic requirement of 'Legendary Battle Master' is certainly not going to pose a problem."

"Demon Tower City," Little Rabbit responded, uttering the name of a specific locale. "The God of Death's Divine Trial is held within Demon Tower City. I am not privy to the intricate details of the tests involved, but upon your arrival in Demon Tower City, you will undoubtedly discover them. However..." she paused momentarily, then continued, "I must still caution you that the God of Death's Divine Trial has been publicly accessible for well over a millennium. Yet, to this day, no individual has successfully passed his trial, nor has anyone managed to inherit his Divine Position. The inherent dangers remain unknown. Should you truly intend to challenge the God of Death's Divine Trial, you must brace yourself for absolute annihilation."

"Absolute annihilation?" Chen Huaian let out a derisive scoff.

The Sage of Earth Star, Taishang Laojun, was the sole entity who had come perilously close to plunging him into utter damnation.

Regardless of this God of Death's prowess, could he truly surpass the Sages of Earth Star?

Ultimately, he was merely a deity presiding over a minor world.

He was eager to ascertain the true nature of this God of Death's Divine Trial.

"There is no time to waste," Chen Huaian declared, making a swift and resolute decision. "Let us depart immediately for Demon Tower City!"
