Lin Yu happily discovered that when using Fire as the main attribute, his power would be enhanced!
When using Water as the main attribute, he could precisely calculate and control the use of his soul power, so every attack could utilize the most suitable soul energy, unleashing optimal power while greatly reducing soul power consumption.
Using Earth as the main attribute could strengthen his physical defense.
Using Wind as the main attribute increased his speed, reflexes, and agility.
Using Light as the main attribute granted immunity to all negative bodily effects and had a certain degree of self-healing ability.
Using Darkness as the main attribute allowed him to absorb others' soul power and restore his own soul power.
Using Space as the main attribute increased the speed of his soul power growth during meditation and cultivation. Aside from this, Lin Yu had yet to discover any other special traits of the Space attribute.
"This is something else. A god-level spirit beast soul is definitely not to be underestimated. If it can simultaneously grant the effects of all seven attribute main forms, this soul beast is ridiculously strong."
"I wonder if, after I obtain the true form of the spirit beast soul, I'll be able to do just that." Lin Yu withdrew his spirit soul and thoughts, then walked over to a cabinet.
He opened the cabinet and found a delicate box inside.
Within the box was a piece of millennium whale resin.
"Over the years, I've been consuming ten-year and hundred-year whale resins bit by bit. With this millennium whale resin, it should be no problem for my first soul ring to absorb soul energy equivalent to over six hundred years. Maybe even more."
"To be safe, I'll ask Teacher Qian to find me a soul beast no older than seven hundred years tomorrow. If it's several hundred or just dozens of years old, that won't be worth it if it breaks."
Whale resin is a special substance produced in the brain of whale-type soul beasts. It can enhance a soul master's physical strength and constitution, allowing them to absorb higher-level soul beasts.
In this era, people only knew it had certain aphrodisiac effects.
As a transmigrator, Lin Yu had naturally prepared for his soul master path early on.
Quickly dealing with it, Lin Yu swallowed the whale resin.
Aside from his body feeling warm, he did not experience any other effects, as his young body was not yet capable of those functions.
"Okay, time for a shower and then sleep!"
But at that moment, Lin Yu received a command from the Seven Great Elemental Gods.
"Hm!!"
"Finally arrived…"
Seven divine energies burst forth from Lin Yu's brow, forming seven spatial gates that surrounded him.
This was the Divine Legacy Secret Realm—similar to the Raksasha Secret Realm.
It was a special dimensional space, essentially a place for inheritance trials.
A divine voice echoed:
"Child, you have gained the recognition of us, the Seven Great Elemental Gods."
"But no one can bear seven divine titles simultaneously. You must choose one divine title from the seven of us to inherit, and then undergo the Divine Nine Trials."
"Make your choice now!"
The Fire God said, "You may now infuse your fire attribute soul power into my Fire God Secret Realm. This way, you can inherit my divine title of Fire God!"
The Wind God exclaimed, "???? No! Fire God, you old rascal, weren't we supposed to let him choose? Why are you telling him to directly infuse your realm with fire?!"
"I said to choose! I didn't threaten him to pick me."
The Earth God rolled his eyes, "But your words are problematic and highly suggestive!"
The Darkness God said, "Kid, I advise you to choose my divine title."
The Light God was speechless, "Darkness, that's going too far, isn't it?"
The Darkness God was unbothered, "According to Fire God, I'm just advising, not threatening."
The Space God joined in with enthusiasm, "Alright, alright! If you all want to play like this, kid, if you don't pick my divine title, I'll break your legs!"
The Wind God was utterly exasperated, "Hey! What are you all doing? Didn't we agree to let him pick without interference or threats?!"
The Water God covered his mouth, laughing, "Hehehe~"
Listening to their bickering, Lin Yu awkwardly smiled.
It was clear the Seven Elemental Gods had a very good relationship.
Lin Yu also guessed the truth of the matter—
They were competing for the successor!
They wanted him to pick one divine title to inherit, not all seven.
After all, possessing all seven divine titles simultaneously was unrealistic.
At this moment, Lin Yu had a bold idea!
His seven extreme attributes never conflicted with each other.
Then, would carrying the power of all seven gods simultaneously cause rejection? Probably not.
A divine title inheritor does not necessarily have to inherit the divine title itself to use the divine power.
As the progress of the Divine Nine Trials continues, the inheritor's body will gradually accumulate a portion of controllable divine power from the divine titles.
If Lin Yu can undergo the trials for all seven divine titles simultaneously, then before the final ninth trial where the divine titles fuse and he ascends to godhood, he will already possess seven types of controllable divine powers!
He might even be able to push for the Seven-God Composite Body!
If he truly can't fuse them all, he can always choose later!
"Cough, cough!"
Lin Yu cleared his throat twice, interrupting their quarrel, and made his decision in his heart:
"To be chosen by the seven powerful gods is an honor for a junior like me, but to make a choice now is truly difficult! It feels like missing out on any one divine title would be such a pity."
"So, I want to choose all of them!"
"If possible, I ask the seven gods to simultaneously conduct the inheritance trials on me!"
Having said that, Lin Yu did not hesitate to release seven types of soul power and infused them into the seven inheritance secret realms.
"What!"
This action took the Seven Great Elemental Gods by surprise.
"Interesting!"
"This kid has quite an ambition!"
"Daring to think and act, quite bold!"
As gods, they could clearly see Lin Yu's intentions.
They exchanged glances.
With just a look, the decision was made: "Very well! Then we will simultaneously conduct the Divine Nine Trials on you!"
"But child, this will be more difficult than choosing to inherit any single one of our divine titles!"
At this moment, the Divine Nine Trials jointly issued by the Seven Great Elemental Gods officially began.
The information for the first trial appeared before Lin Yu's eyes:
[Divine Nine Trials of the Seven Great Elemental Gods — First Trial: Within two years, raise soul power cultivation to above level 20, have a second soul ring aged no less than 1000 years, and single-handedly kill a millennium wolf-type soul beast.]
The divine presence faded.
Lin Yu looked at the trial requirements and found them indeed challenging.
Simply having a second soul ring over a thousand years old was nearly impossible for anyone in this era.
But for Lin Yu, it was a small matter. The only difficulty was hunting the millennium wolf-type soul beast.
In the soul beast clans, cultivation years are not the only measure of strength.
One must also consider the species and the strength of their bloodline.
For example, a 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger can single-handedly fight a 100,000-year-old Azure Cow Python and a Titan Giant Ape.
As for carnivorous wolf-type soul beasts, their combat power is generally quite strong. Without soul power above level 35, ordinary soul masters wouldn't dare guarantee a solo kill.
