Chapter 2: Reflecting the World .
"The world!"
The loli exclaimed.
Powerful and mysterious!
This was Huo Yutong's first impression.
"Impressive," Huo Yutong exclaimed, without a trace of envy.
"The spirit eye is also impressive, as is the original martial spirit."
Those star-like eyes dimmed for a moment, a subtle flicker of inferiority and lowness flashing across them, but they quickly perked up.
Cleaning.
After filling a basin with water, the loli stuck her little butt out to clean the corners and any dust that hadn't been blown up by the wind, while An Zhen simply reached out and pulled the recliner from the void.
Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yutong.
Considering that she was the only one present, it was clear that the possibility that Huo Yun'er was pregnant with twins had been ruled out. The son of destiny was gone, and a daughter of destiny appeared. What a deviation from the original story. Tsk, maybe the future worldline feels messed up already, but adding him as a variable would have already disrupted the worldline.
But why is this child disguised as a boy?
That's not right.
The soft voice might be due to puberty. Just because someone is petite and cute doesn't necessarily mean they are boys.
Then check it out.
Instead of returning to his dorm, An Zhen lay on the recliner, eyes closed.
Martial Spirit, possession.
"Hmm?"
Amidst a sea of gold, a silkworm with ten golden lines on its body suddenly raised its head, as if sensing something.
It felt like something was approaching.
But it also seemed like nothing was there.
Never mind, that old human was too terrifying; it was better for it to hide.
...
"Although it sounds unusual, I have to say, it's quite useful."
An Zhen stood up, looking at the petite and adorable figure from behind, a delighted smile playing on his lips. With her small, perky butt sticking out, the hardworking little cutie was cleaning. A pair of arms reached out, embracing the petite figure.
No struggle.
No cry of surprise.
The tiny body collapsed directly into An Zhen's arms, as if it had lost its soul.
World modulation mode.
With An Zhen's physical body at its center, his spiritual power limited the size of this world, like a massive virtual game world. Real-world individuals were projected into the world, simulating their current actions. However, they were all NPCs. Any contact or command from An Zhen reduced them to a soulless state, like a deity in this world.
Furthermore, his martial spirit was extremely concealed.
An Zhen had once, through his uncle Jing Hongchen's connections, met with Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming, but even he couldn't detect him. His only concern now lay with Elder Mu En.
No, if something remained unchanged, there was one here too.
An Zhen reached out and gently tapped the back of Huo Yutong's head. In an instant, three blue screens popped up.
[Huo Yutong]
[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm]
[Ilexe]
If anyone on the continent possessed the highest spiritual power, it would undoubtedly be the remnant of the former Son of Light, the Undead Scourge Ilexe...
Even a fragment of it was still divine consciousness, a god-level.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking the stars, there's no one like me in the world." His white fingers gently grasped the air, and a ball of gray light appeared in his hand. The young man whispered softly, "Elux, do you still remember Flo and Pero, the couple?"
In the original novel, Huo Yuhao's hatred blinded him, so it made no sense that now, under the influence of his martial spirit, he wouldn't react when the names of the princess who betrayed Alex and the Pope's son who murdered his entire clan were mentioned.
Could it be that this remnant soul still hasn't remembered those things?
An Zhen went out to look for Elder Mu.
He didn't see him.
Has he left?
In that case, hehe, Xiao Yutong, there are no uncertainties to distract us now.
Rushing back to the dormitory.
With a thought, a clean, tidy bed appeared. He gently placed the little cutie in his arms on it.
Check it out.
As expected of a White Tiger descendant.
"Why would such a lovely girl be dressed as a man?"
An Zhen didn't know the reason. With a thought, the entire dormitory instantly became spotless. A gray mass of garbage appeared at the dormitory door.
In the real world.
An Zhen slowly opened his eyes.
A loli had filled a basin with water and was wiping the table with a damp rag.
"Okay, let me do it."
An Zhen felt sympathy for this little loli with a troubled past. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux were both there, and with her malnourished appearance and washed-out clothes, she probably shared Huo Yuhao's story.
If it weren't for that Tang San thing, this child would have lived a happy life like the protagonist of a good-for-nothing novel about a loser rising to power. The child of destiny had been tamed. The power of the planes was ultimately no match for the might of a God King.
The child of destiny, regardless of gender, would eventually be targeted by that God King Tang. Given that he treated the Douluo Plane like his own backyard, even if he became a god in the future, he would undoubtedly be targeted by that guy. Being enslaved and treated like a dog would probably be the best outcome.
A new life.
An Zhen just wanted to live a free and happy life. He didn't want to die; he wanted to become a god. Such a powerful martial spirit was a cheat. The angels and sea gods of the past could become gods, so why couldn't he? He admitted his willpower was insufficient, but this martial spirit, a cheat, might be a god in its own right, even a being superior to gods.
Therefore, forming an alliance with the Daughter of Luck might be a good option.
After all, the current God Realm is no longer Tang San's one-man show. The two God Kings of Life and Destruction still rule, and even he himself is subject to the rule that no gods can descend, though he shamelessly used his daughter as an excuse at the end. But at least the current Douluo Continent isn't as hopeless as it was during the Dragon King Legend era, where two second-level gods could target you at any moment.
A petite and adorable figure reflected in those encompassing black eyes.
Huo Yutong, I'm here for you.
An Zhen needs the Daughter of Luck's help, not just to fight Tang San, but also for a crucial matter concerning his cultivation, a matter that only someone favored by Luck can assist him.
"First Soul Skill, Reflect."
A phantom yellow ring appeared at the boy's leg. A bright yellow aura shone, and an eerie wave enveloped the entire dormitory, excluding An Zhen and Huo Yutong.
Under the little cutie's astonished gaze, the entire dormitory instantly took on a whole new look.
First Soul Skill, Reflect.
It can transform reality into that of An Zhen's world, altering it or projecting objects from it into reality—people, objects, even one's own cultivation—with a certain degree of control.
However, creating objects out of thin air, or causing them to vanish, requires a significant amount of energy.
This energy comes from two sources: An Zhen's own soul power and the energy stored by his martial soul. The martial soul itself is like a large, specialized "baby bottle."
Honestly, soul rings don't serve An Zhen much beyond the soul power they bring. Soul skills unlock certain powers in the An Zhen world. For example, the wind and reclining chair appeared before, but soul rings didn't appear at the time. These were inherent abilities of the martial soul; the rings were merely keys to unlock them.
It's quite convenient for daily use, allowing for quick changes and washing, and it also boosts cultivation speed.
As for fighting, it's quite convenient if you know the enemy's location in advance and have time to prepare.
A large level gap can backfire, making it very troublesome.
However, this soul skill isn't meant for combat.
