Chapter 2: The Q&A Begins — How Are Soul Masters Born?
"Hmm~ Looks like I do have a little bit of privilege and advantage after all!"
After reviewing all his privileges, the corners of Lin Yu's mouth couldn't help but curl up, feeling quite satisfied.
While Lin Yu was still getting familiar with the system, the "Divine Realm Catastrophe" event finally neared its end.
During the battle, the five figures in the sky of the God Realm combined their power and unleashed a colossal sword strike, seemingly able to cut through time and space, cleaving the nine-colored dragon in two.
But even after being split in half, the nine-colored dragon did not die.
Instead, from each half of its body, a new dragon emerged—one golden, one silver.
The golden dragon roared furiously upon appearing, flapping its wide golden wings and charging once again at the five figures in the sky.
As for the silver dragon, after emerging and forcibly taking the attacks from the five figures, it tore through space and escaped.
Then, time froze at the exact moment the silver dragon entered the pitch-black dimensional rift.
At the same time, a translucent screen suddenly floated before everyone's eyes, with lines of information flashing rapidly across it.
[Jack (shocked): What… what is this? Why am I here? I still need to inform Little San about his spirit awakening!]
[Tang San: Grandpa Jack, is that you?]
[Huyan Zhen: What the hell is this thing? Our entire Elephant Armored Sect has been pulled into this illusion!]
[Ning Fengzhi: Elephant Armored Sect? Don't tell me all of you have fallen into this illusion too?]
[Dai Tianfeng (Emperor of Star Luo): This definitely isn't an illusion. Haven't you noticed? It seems like everyone from the entire Douluo Continent is here. Not even the legendary gods could cast an illusion on everyone at once. Something extraordinary must be happening in our world!]
[Dugu Bo: By the way, does anyone know where the scene just now was taking place? It didn't seem like something that happened on Douluo Continent.]
[Yue Guan: Old poison, I didn't expect even you got dragged in here!]
[Dugu Bo: You damn chrysanthemum! If you can be pulled in, why can't I?]
[Bibi Dong (pondering): I think I know where that scene took place. One of the figures looked familiar. He might be the legendary Asura God. Could that battle have been in the mythical God Realm?]
At this moment, in the Pope's Palace of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong rested her chin on her jade hand, deep in thought.
Although she had never seen the Asura God, she had seen the Asura God Sword in the hands of the Slaughter King.
Seeing someone wielding that sword with a divine and demonic aura during the catastrophe led her to suspect that this was indeed the Asura God.
But what exactly was this illusion, and what kind of existence could show scenes from the legendary God Realm to those on Douluo Continent?
Could this also be the doing of a god?
[Dugu Bo: Hiss! That was the legendary God Realm?]
[Ning Fengzhi: This is unbelievable!]
[Chen Xin: Unbelievable +1!]
[Gu Rong: Unbelievable +2!]
[Ning Rongrong: Unbelievable +3!]
[Ghost Douluo: But I'm really curious… what kind of existence would pull all of us into an illusion and show us a God Realm battle? What's the purpose?]
[Yu Yuanzhen: I'm curious too!]
[Xue Ye: Even I, the Emperor, am curious!]
[Meng Shen Ji: Curious +1!]
[Bai Baoshan: Curious +2!]
...
While everyone was expressing confusion and discussing the illusion and the virtual screen that appeared—
A line of blood-red text suddenly appeared in front of them all.
At the same time, a cold mechanical voice echoed in everyone's ears.
[Welcome to the livestream room!]
[This room is called the Prize Q&A Livestream. It will randomly play events from this world and related worlds—past, present, and future. After each broadcast, questions will be asked.]
[Answer correctly to receive a reward.]
[Answer incorrectly and you may randomly lose soul power, lose soul power accumulated over a future period of cultivation, lose soul ring age, lose soul rings, lose your spirit, lose wealth, lose lifespan, etc.!]
[If no one answers, one person will be randomly selected to receive severe punishment!]
[The previous event has been played. Now begins the Q&A!]
With that, the cold mechanical voice paused, and a new line of blood-red text appeared:
[Q&A: How are Soul Masters born?]
[Reward for correct answer: As this is the first Q&A, the reward is maximized. The livestream will fulfill any single wish within reason. This wish may include resurrecting the dead, raising cultivation to Rank 99, upgrading a spirit to god level, or upgrading soul rings to 999,999 years.]
[Punishment for wrong answers: As described above.]
As the blood-red letters floated in front of their eyes and the mechanical voice rang in their ears, everyone in the livestream room widened their eyes and felt their hearts pounding.
This Q&A... could fulfill wishes?
The moment the reward for the first Q&A was revealed, the entire Douluo Continent was in an uproar.
After all, who in this world doesn't have a wish?
Commoners who couldn't eat or dress properly often wished for a worry-free life.
Those with broader horizons often had greater ambitions—wishing for a martial spirit on par with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon or the Clear Sky Hammer, or simply becoming rich and powerful beyond compare.
Even those at the pinnacle of position, wealth, and strength still held deep desires in their hearts.
For example, Qian Daoliu—the former High Priest of Spirit Hall—had always wanted to resurrect his son, Qian Xunji.
The royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire, including Emperor Xue Ye, longed for their Swan Spirit to evolve into a top-tier martial spirit.
Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted to evolve the Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit to break the limit where its users could only reach Spirit Sage.
The Jiuxin Haitang clan hoped to remove the flaw of only having two spirit masters per generation.
Dugu Bo of the Bi Phosphorus clan wished to find a cure for his family's venom.
Tang Hao wanted his wife Ah Yin to be restored.
And the great master Yu Xiaogang wished not to be a failure anymore!
...
In an instant, after seeing the Q&A reward in the livestream, everyone's heart was moved.
And in fact, it wasn't just humans—soul beasts over 100,000 years old on Douluo Star were equally shaken!
Deep underground in a cave at the core of Star Dou Forest, Di Tian saw the reward and couldn't help but wonder—
If he answered correctly, could his Lord's injuries be healed?
At the same time, at the bottom of the Lake of Life in a secret space, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena thought the same.
Elsewhere, the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, the Azure Bull Python Da Ming, and Xiao Wu all thought of the same person they wished to revive—Xiao Wu's mother, Ah Rou.
Meanwhile, in the endless ocean, even the Deep Sea Devil Whale King hidden in the depths was stirred.
Could this mysterious livestream room help it become a million-year soul beast?
But while nearly everyone was ecstatic and tempted by the Q&A rewards, there were exceptions.
Take Bo Saixi, for instance, far away on Sea God Island.
The moment she was pulled into the livestream, she realized in disbelief—
Her connection to the great Sea God of the God Realm had been severed.
This made her heart grow heavy.
Could this livestream actually sever her link to the mighty Sea God?
Could this livestream be even stronger than the Supreme Sea God himself?
