Qian Xunji stepped out from behind a golden pillar, eyes complicated.
"Dong'er… I know you hate me now. But you are my disciple. You are the Saintess of Spirit Hall. For your sake and the Hall's future, I had to be ruthless."
In truth, he had known Yuan Longxuan's situation all along.
He had even considered sending him to oversee the Heaven Dou Empire, grooming him for higher positions.
But in the end, compared to Bibi Dong.....the chosen heir of Spirit Hall...Yuan Longxuan's life was expendable.
As for the real culprit… it was none other than Yu Xiaogang.
That "waste" had stolen Spirit Hall's research and had dared to harbor thoughts toward Bibi Dong.
Qian Xunji had tolerated him long enough. Soon, with the right evidence, Yu Xiaogang would die, and no one.....not even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—would be able to protect him.
And so, Qian Xunji convinced himself: Yuan Longxuan's death was "useful." It would sever Bibi Dong's emotional ties and strengthen Spirit Hall's control.
Meanwhile – Blue Silver Forest, Northwest of the Continent
Far away from Spirit Hall, Yuan Longxuan sat cross-legged in the quiet forest, grinning as he stared at his system panel.

Overall Evaluation: "A cheat doesn't need evaluations. As long as it feels爽, it's perfect!"
Yuan Longxuan chuckled to himself. "Hahaha… dead? If only they knew I'm sitting here, alive and kicking."
Yuan Longxuan's cheat system was truly powerful.
The only drawback was that once his martial soul was bound, it could not be changed a second time.
Knowing this, he decided to push the quality of his first martial soul directly to the highest level and, on top of that, chose the extremely domineering Dragon God Martial Soul.
With the blessing of the system, his strength was stabilized at the peak of level ninety-nine...a quasi-god.
Without such restrictions, relying only on his Dragon God Martial Soul that carried nine soul rings of 9,990,000 years each, he might have already stepped into godhood.
He suddenly looked toward the distance. His golden eyes glimmered with sharp light.
"Come out. There's no need to hide from me."
Not far away stood a towering tree covered in countless blue-gold vines.
From within it, a graceful figure slowly walked out.
Her delicate figure glowed with a soft light, and even the blue-silver grass around her seemed dim in comparison.
"When did you discover me?"
The young woman's voice was crisp and pleasant, carrying an innocent liveliness.
Seeing her, Yuan Longxuan's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
"From the moment I arrived."
He stood up, facing the girl in a blue-gold dress. His sharp gaze caught the faint shadow behind her...an illusory projection of the Blue Silver Emperor. That confirmed her identity without a doubt.
This girl was none other than Ah Yin, the transformed form of the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, and destined to be the mother of Tang San, the child of fate.
[Character: Ah Yin]
[True Identity: Blue Silver Emperor, 100,000 years]
[Current Level: Soul Emperor, Rank 65]
[Soul Skills: Endless Vitality, Blue Silver Emperor Domain (Large-scale), Blue Silver Emperor Domain Transmission, Myriad Manifestations]
Ah Yin tilted her head, curiosity in her bright eyes. "You're really strange… At first, you only had the strength of a Soul Sect, but now I can't see through you at all."
She stepped forward, each step accompanied by endless Blue Silver vines that spread beneath her feet, carrying her closer.
"Oh? So you're not a human?" Yuan Longxuan asked lightly, lips curving in amusement.
Startled, Ah Yin quickly waved her hands. "Ah? N-no! I am human! Just like you!"
In truth, although she had already matured as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form, she dared to speak so boldly only because this was her territory.
She didn't believe Yuan Longxuan could see her true identity.
As for why she appeared… Well, it was simply because she thought he looked handsome, and she couldn't resist getting closer to him.
Yuan Longxuan smiled, his expression gentle. "Alright, I was just teasing. Since you're busy cultivating, I'll take my leave. Thank you for not disturbing me earlier."
What he didn't realize was that his face....enhanced by the system to the peak of human beauty....combined with his smile, was lethally charming.
Ah Yin froze, her thoughts swirling uncontrollably.
Was he leaving already?
The outside world is so dangerous… Should I let him stay here to rest?
No, no… he's human! Humans are dangerous…
But… he looks so good. I like him!
Her cheeks flushed red, steam almost rising from her head.
"Wait… Um…"
Yuan Longxuan, who had just turned to leave, paused. He turned back and noticed something strange.
Above Ah Yin's head, a favorability meter appeared, rising rapidly.
[Ah Yin's Favorability: 30%]
[Ah Yin's Favorability: 50%]
[Ah Yin's Favorability: 65%]
[Ah Yin's Favorability: 75% – (Is this… what it feels like to have one's heart moved?)]
Her eyes shone brightly as she asked in a soft voice, "Can I… go out and play with you?"
Yuan Longxuan raised an eyebrow. "You want to come with me?"
She nodded quickly, like a child afraid of being refused. "Mm! Mm!"
He chuckled. "What's your name?"
"I'm Ah Yin. What about you?"
"Yuan Longxuan."
The Capital of the Heaven Dou Empire
The Heaven Dou Empire's capital had stood for nearly a thousand years, since the time when the previous Sea God ascended.
The royal family had once been devout believers in the Sea God, but as centuries passed and faith waned, they no longer worshiped gods.
The streets bustled with endless crowds. Yuan Longxuan and Ah Yin, both wearing masks, walked through the city.
Their extraordinary aura still attracted glances from passersby, despite their attempts to remain low-key.
Ah Yin's eyes sparkled with curiosity. Everything she saw in the human world seemed fresh and fascinating.
Yuan Longxuan watched her reactions with mild amusement.
He hadn't expected the legendary Blue Silver Emperor to be such a simple-minded, innocent girl when first experiencing human society.
