Douluo Continent.
The core area of the Starry Sky Forest, on the shore of the Lake of Life.
This place is no longer a forbidden zone that ordinary soul beasts dare to set foot in; it has been transformed into a pure blue-silver domain.
Each and every Blue Silver Grass—no, it should be called Blue Silver Emperor—has crystal-clear vines and leaves that shimmer with fine golden veins. They are like the most devout believers, bowing and worshipping in the same direction.
In the center of that area, a figure sat cross-legged.
The man wore a spotless blue robe, and his long, dark hair was loosely draped over his shoulders and down to his waist.
His eyes were closed, his face was so handsome that it seemed otherworldly, every inch of his features was like the most perfect creation in the world, yet he exuded an innate indifference, as if nothing in the world could catch his eye.
His name is Tang Chen.
At this moment, strange phenomena were appearing all around him.
Countless golden points of light emerged from the void, like fireflies converging into a galaxy, slowly flowing around him.
Each point of light contained a profound Dao rune, which sometimes transformed into the shape of dragons and phoenixes, sometimes into the sun, moon and stars, and finally all disappeared into Tang Chen's body.
With each breath he took, the life energy of the entire Starry Sky Forest rose and fell with it.
The forest rejoiced, and all things submitted.
After a long while, Tang Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"well."
A soft sigh broke the tranquility of the place.
A complex expression flickered in Tang Chen's eyes.
Having transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, I thought I would awaken some kind of twin martial souls and have innate full soul power, thus beginning my overpowered life.
Who would have thought that I would be transmigrated into a soul beast?
If it weren't for the timely awakening of the "Seclusion System," he would probably have become food for some passing soul beast long ago.
Fortunately, this system is powerful enough.
You can receive rewards simply by going into seclusion.
The longer the seclusion period, the richer the rewards.
In just over a decade, he went from a weak Blue Silver Grass to a cultivator with a cultivation level of a million years.
This is a realm never before seen in the Douluo Continent.
As soon as he had a thought, an indescribable terrifying aura suddenly erupted.
boom--!
The entire Star Dou Great Forest trembled violently. Countless ferocious beasts with cultivation levels of 100,000 years, including Di Tian who was sleeping deep in the Lake of Life, were suddenly awakened and prostrated on the ground, their huge beast eyes filled with fear from the depths of their souls.
Behind Tang Chen, a towering, ethereal figure slowly emerged.
It was an unimaginably huge Blue Silver Emperor.
Each of its leaves is like a continent that contains the entire world, engraved with countless golden divine patterns.
Nine dazzling golden halos floated silently above its body, radiating a pressure that would make even the gods tremble.
This is his true form, the million-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.
Upon seeing the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Chen's thoughts drifted away, recalling his own past.
His mother was none other than the previous Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.
He was born unexpectedly while his mother was in her spirit beast form.
He was born with the body of a soul beast.
That's why, after discovering that he wasn't human, the man named Tang Hao's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust and contempt.
That man discarded him like trash, carelessly leaving him to fend for himself in the perilous Starry Sky Forest.
If it weren't for the system protecting him, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
He remembered all of this clearly.
Every trace of disgust on that man's face, every gesture, was deeply imprinted on his soul.
Later, as his cultivation deepened, he gradually came to understand the truth of what happened back then.
What kind of legendary love story is this between a genius from the Haotian Sect and a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
It was nothing but a complete scam.
Tang Hao approached his mother from the very beginning because of her 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone.
What he called love was nothing more than a carefully crafted lie to achieve his goals.
It was Tang Hao who gradually lured his mother into a trap, ultimately forcing her to make a sacrifice.
It was he who personally pushed his mother into an abyss of no return.
Thinking of Tang Hao, Tang Chen's gaze gradually darkened.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, as his emotions shifted, creating a suffocating atmosphere that distorted the very space around him.
"Tang Hao..."
Tang Chen murmured the name.
Now that this retreat is over, it's time to go out and explore.
It's time to settle some old scores.
In particular, it is necessary to free the mother from that endless sea of suffering.
For years, he had been in seclusion, and he didn't even have a clear idea of how strong he really was.
However, it should be no problem for him to easily defeat those so-called first-level gods in the Douluo God Realm.
After all, the longer one goes into seclusion, the more rewards one receives, and the faster one's cultivation speed becomes.
He has now far surpassed the limits of cognition in the Douluo Continent.
Normally, when a soul beast cultivates for a million years, it will inevitably attract a heavenly tribulation.
That was the suppression of the dimensional rules, and also the cleansing of the divine realm.
However, because of the system's existence, Douluo's Heavenly Dao will was perfectly concealed, and even the high and mighty God Realm never discovered his existence.
When he broke the million-year mark, all was calm and undisturbed.
But this does not prevent him from possessing strength far exceeding that of a god.
"Tang San..."
Tang Chen then thought of another person.
His younger brother, whom he had never met, was burdened with the destiny of this world.
The future successor to both the Sea God and the Asura God, and one of the strongest beings in the God Realm.
He probably never knew until his death that he had a soul beast brother who had been abandoned by his father.
Calculating the time, I'm about a year older than Tang San.
According to the original trajectory, at this point in time, Tang San should have already passed the divine trials and achieved godhood.
"The chosen one does indeed possess some unique qualities."
Tang Chen gave a calm and unfazed comment.
In his eyes, the so-called chosen one of the plane is nothing more than a plaything under the rules of this world, not worth his excessive attention.
Just then, a golden streak of light streaked across the sky and hovered precisely in front of Tang Chen.
It was a small golden bird made of pure light energy, carrying a letter in its beak.
"Xue'er's letter?"
The indifference in Tang Chen's eyes melted instantly, replaced by a gentle look.
He reached out and took the letter, and the golden bird turned into specks of light and disappeared.
The neat handwriting on the envelope carried a familiar feel to it.
He opened the letter; the paper had a faint, pleasant fragrance.
To my beloved husband:
"Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. I am well, so please don't worry."
"The battle at Jialing Pass is at a stalemate. Tang San has obtained the Sea God and his strength is unfathomable. I can only barely maintain the balance of power."
"With armies locked in a stalemate, victory or defeat hangs in the balance."
"My husband, you can focus on your cultivation. Once I have vanquished all the enemies, I will return to find you. Do not worry about me; I will surely win this battle."
"It's just...it's been so long since we last met, I miss you terribly."
At the end of the letter, there was a slightly playful smiley face.
