Chapter 419: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [419]
Although Chen Ming had always known that divine positions were a double-edged sword, after thinking more deeply about it, he developed some additional thoughts about them.
He figured that while he could use a divine position to raise his potential in the future, he absolutely couldn't let the divine position limit his growth. Until he fully understood the situation, he decided he should be ready to immediately pass the divine position to someone else after ascending and gaining power through it.
The God of Arrogance never would have imagined that Chen Ming, who hadn't even become a god yet, was already thinking about how to pass on his divine position like those cunning old-timers. If he knew, it would be hard to say whether he'd mock Chen Ming for overthinking things before becoming a god or for being so impatient, skipping a few centuries' worth of detours (in godly time).
After leaving the Trial Grounds of the Divine Trial through the two light cocoons in his spiritual sea, Chen Ming was accompanied by the God of Arrogance.
Looking at the God of Arrogance, who was casually eating a piece of fruit, Chen Ming felt a headache coming on, unsure how to deal with this big figure from the divine realm.
The God of Arrogance could see that Chen Ming wasn't quite accustomed to his presence, but he didn't care. He took another bite of the fruit and calmly said:
"It's normal for you to feel uneasy around me. After all, I am a god, and to me, you're quite unfamiliar as well. Honestly, I'm not familiar with you either. But I'll tell you the truth: the main reason I came to the lower realm this time is on the orders of the Supreme God to ensure your safety and prevent that one from targeting you."
"With the connection between us, as long as we're on the same continent, I can reach you within a minute. If you leave this continent, I'll only be able to vaguely sense your direction. This isn't a technical limitation but rather a restriction on my divine power—my spiritual strength is limited to sensing a single continent."
"If you're not comfortable with me around, I don't mind not staying by your side. I've been working overtime in the divine realm for several centuries without a break—fighting and killing without a single vacation. Although the environment here in the Douluo world isn't that great, I can still wander around a bit."
