Yu Qing's consciousness withdrew from the System Space, and she slowly opened her eyes, a sharp light flashing within them. The confusion she had felt earlier about the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores had now been replaced by a sense of sudden enlightenment and excitement.
" Dao companion system... Yin and Yang "Dual Cultivation... Yin-Yang Power, " he murmured, his fingertips unconsciously tracing mysterious lines on the sheets. "Isn't this ultimate Yin and Yang power, its fusion and mutual generation, the ideal foundation for constructing the Yin and Yang Soul Core?"
A bold idea took shape in his mind: perhaps he could try using the Yin-Yang Power generated by Dual Cultivation as the core to build the legendary Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores!
"It seems I have to go to Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again," Yu Qing decided. Only in that treasure land, which contains both extreme cold and extreme heat and is rich in energy, could he feel at ease to carry out this dangerous yet tempting experiment.
Suppressing the burning desire within him, he turned his attention back to System Space. He gazed at the three floating, immensely energetic Hundred Thousand Years... Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Spirit Ring, an even more tempting idea popped into my head—synthesis!
Four ten-thousand-year spirit bones can be combined to create a top-grade spirit ring that is 320,000 years old. What about three hundred-thousand-year spirit rings? Couldn't they be combined to create a spirit ring that is four hundred-thousand-years old, or even more terrifying? In that case, his starting point for his second spirit would be unimaginably high, probably even surpassing that of God of Emotion, the son of Luck.
" Synthesize these three Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings!" Yu Qing commanded expectantly.
However, a glaring red warning suddenly popped up on the synthesizer's blue crystal screen:
[ Insufficient yin-yang points, unable to synthesize!]
"Hmm?" Yu Qing frowned. He remembered he still had over 80,000 Yin Yang points. "How many do you need?"
[150000]
"150,000?!" Yu Qing exclaimed in surprise. "How could so many be needed? Even synthesizing Spirit Bone before wasn't this extravagant."
Explanatory text quickly appeared on the synthesizer screen:
[ Spirit rings share the same origin and are highly similar in quality. The energy required for fusion and sublimation far exceeds that of different types of Spirit Bone, necessitating the consumption of more Yin and Yang points to balance the Law and prevent energy conflict and annihilation.]
"…Alright." Yu Qing sighed helplessly, having to temporarily abandon this tempting idea and carefully put the three spirit rings away. It seems that the "great cause" of earning yin and yang points still requires some effort.
Consciousness exited System Space, returning to reality. Yu Qing calmed his mind and began to circulate the Cultivation Technique, compressing and purifying the ephemeral spirit power brought by the Dual Cultivation tonight, refining it into a more solid and pure form. Then, he guided the magical Yin-Yang Power within his body, slowly refining it and channeling it into the Spirit, feeling the subtle yet tangible improvement in the Spirit's quality.
Just as he finished refining and was about to open his eyes, the surrounding scenery suddenly distorted and changed!
When he looked around again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space.
Here lies an endless expanse of gray and white, vast and desolate, devoid of any sense of up, down, left, or right; only eternal nothingness and paleness, as if all concepts had yet to be born.
"Where is this...?" Yu Qing looked around warily. The Spirit Purple Golden Leaf appeared on its own, spinning slowly around him and emitting a rich life force.
Just then, a soft green light suddenly appeared in the center of the space. The green light rapidly spread and expanded, like vibrant colors splashed onto a pale canvas. In the blink of an eye, a vast, boundless forest, radiating a life force a thousand times richer than the Star Dou Great Forest, appeared beneath his feet. Just by inhaling the air here, Yu Qing felt as if his very soul had been cleansed, and his very life force was leaping with joy.
"This is the Forest of Life of God Realm." A gentle, melodious voice, seemingly capable of soothing all anxieties, softly rang out.
Yu Qing looked up abruptly and saw a woman in a light green dress standing quietly not far away. Her appearance was not stunningly beautiful, but she possessed an indescribable warmth and tranquility, as if she were life itself, inspiring involuntary goodwill and making it difficult to feel any hostility.
A slight alarm bell rang in Yu Qing's heart, but she remained calm on the surface and frowned as she asked Dao, "Who are you?"
The woman smiled slightly, a smile like a spring breeze caressing a newly sprouted bud: "Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm. To show my sincerity, let me introduce myself first."
"I am Goddess of Life, and I don't have a specific name. But my partner, well… he likes to call me Little Green. You can call me whatever you like."
" Goddess of Life?!" Yu Qing's pupils contracted sharply, his heart churning with a storm of emotions. He forced down his shock, quickly composed himself, and bowed respectfully: "I am Yu Qing, greetings to Your Majesty, Goddess of Life!"
"No need for formalities." Goddess of Life's smile grew even gentler as she sized up Yu Qing, her eyes filled with admiration and curiosity. The Power of Life within this human was so pure and concentrated, far surpassing his peers and even many priests. Even more peculiar was the fact that after his intimate encounter with the two women, a mysterious and extraordinary energy ( Yin-Yang Power ) she had never seen before was generated within him. Though not as powerful as the Qi of a God Realm spirit, it possessed its own unique mysteries. All of this made her consider taking him as a disciple.
"What brings Your Majesty the Goddess to seek me out?" Yu Qing asked Dao cautiously, while inwardly screaming: Could it be to collect copyright fees? Did they discover I used Life Domain to catalyze Spirit Beast?
Goddess of Life seemed to read his mind and chuckled, "Before, Thor reported to me that someone on the Douluo Continent used high-purity life force to catalyze three Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts, and came to ask me if it was me or my chosen ones who interfered with the Lower Realm."
Yu Qing's heart jumped into her throat.
"I found it quite amusing, so I told him it was done by one of my Legacy members, and that sent him on his way." Goddess of Life spoke casually, but Yu Qing felt a chill run down her spine. He'd been chosen so easily?!
"After that, I sent down a wisp of Divine Thought to see you." Goddess of Life's gaze became even more focused. "I have been observing you for some time, and the talent you have shown and your understanding of the power of life have truly moved me."
Yu Qing's face flushed crimson instantly, wishing she could disappear into the ground. Observed for a while?! That means… what happened with Xiner and Ruyi's Dual Cultivation before … Ahhh! Social death! And in front of God King no less!
Goddess of Life seemed unconcerned about his embarrassment, instead growing increasingly pleased with his appearance: "You possess an almost extreme life force, but this is not something you were born with; rather, it is acquired... " Cultivate. As far as I know, Douluo The rules of the world dictate Innate. Your Spirit, though profound, lacks Innate qualities; it's merely a rootless leaf. I'm curious, how did you cultivate step by step to become Realm as it is today?
Her gaze was intense, as if she were admiring a priceless treasure.
A bitter look appeared on Yu Qing's face as he slowly uttered four words: "Enduring countless hardships." The pain of transforming Star Power into life Origin was beyond the comprehension of outsiders, no less than when he was refining the broken Spirit.
"It seems you have paid an unimaginable price for what you have achieved today," Goddess of Life said with a hint of compassion.
"Mm." Yu Qing nodded emphatically.
"Then, human Yu Qing," Goddess of Life's expression suddenly became extremely solemn and dignified, "are you willing to accept my Legacy, become my chosen one, and inherit the God Position of life in the future?"
It's here! A God-King level Legacy!
Yu Qing's heart skipped a beat. But almost instantly, reason prevailed over impulse. The temptation was immense, but the risk was equally enormous! Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction were husband and wife. Accepting the Legacy of Life was practically the same as getting involved in the inner circle of God Realm's higher-ups, which would inevitably attract the attention of the God of Destruction. With his current strength, he was less than an ant in front of God King.
More importantly, he possesses the biggest secret: the Dao Companion System! Divinity's spying is impossible to guard against, and he would never dare to easily accept this God Position, which requires deep binding and God Trial, before possessing absolute power. Legacy.
In a flash, Yu Qing made his decision. He took a deep breath, bowed again, and said in a respectful but firm tone, "I am very grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. But... I'm sorry, I cannot accept your Legacy at this time."
"Oh?" Goddess of Life paused slightly, clearly not expecting a rejection. "Are you sure? This is an opportunity that countless people dream of."
"I'm sure." Yu Qing raised her head, her gaze clear and firm. "Accepting Legacy is a shortcut to godhood, but I would rather rely on my own strength to forge my own path than follow in the footsteps of my predecessors." These words were half true and half false, expressing her ambition while cleverly concealing her true concerns.
Goddess of Life gazed at him, as if trying to read something in his eyes. After a moment, she sighed softly, her voice tinged with regret, but mostly with understanding and admiration: "In that case, I respect your choice. Humanity, I hope to see you in the God Realm in your own unique way in the future."
Yu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly cupped her hands in thanks: "Thank you for your understanding, Goddess."
Just then, the space around Goddess of Life suddenly fluctuated violently, and a burst of violent purple lightning tore through the Void Realm and descended abruptly!
As the lightning dissipated, a chilling figure was revealed. He wore a large purple cloak that concealed his face, revealing only two leaping crimson lights beneath its shadow. Behind him, nine rings of purplish-black light slowly rotated, each ring resembling a world on the verge of annihilation, radiating an aura of boundless, profound, and terrifying destruction. The peaceful atmosphere of the entire Forest of Life was instantly disrupted by this overwhelming will to destroy.
"Little Green," the newcomer's voice was deep and authoritative, with a hint of barely perceptible concern, "Why did you demote Divine Thought to Lower Realm? Did something happen?" The newcomer was none other than the God of Destruction.
"It's nothing, Little Purple." Goddess of Life —Little Green—responded gently, "I just discovered a very interesting and talented seed of life." She turned to Yu Qing.
The God of Destruction's crimson gaze then fell upon Yu Qing. Just being swept by that gaze, Yu Qing felt as if she were in the terrifying scene of the end of the Universe, where all things were reduced to silence, and her soul trembled.
"Oh? The life force is indeed pure." The God of Destruction commented casually, seemingly showing some interest. But when he looked at it more closely a second time, his crimson gaze suddenly sharpened, as if he had discovered something incredible, and his voice was filled with obvious astonishment:
"Very good! Kid, you almost fooled me!"
Goddess of Life looked at her husband with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong, Xiao Zi?"
The God of Destruction's voice carried a hint of excitement, as if he had discovered a new continent: "This human... is quite interesting! Within him, there exists simultaneously the ultimate Power of Life and... the ultimate power of destruction!"
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Goddess of Life's exquisite face revealed disbelief for the first time. She immediately began to carefully perceive Yu Qing again, this time deliberately penetrating the dense life force.
Sure enough! Deep within that vibrant life force lay an extremely faint yet supremely pure and potent aura of destruction! These two completely opposing forces, which should have annihilated each other, had achieved a bizarre balance within a human body!
"It really is…" Goddess of Life murmured to himself, his gaze toward Yu Qing completely changing, filled with shock and disbelief..
The ultimate life and the ultimate destruction coexist in one!
This is simply against Universe The miracle of law! Throughout the history of God Realm, the only one who could simultaneously wield multiple opposing powers was the one who once unleashed a catastrophe and nearly destroyed God Realm—
Dragon God!
