Death? What exactly is it?
Is it the cessation of all activity? Or the natural aging and decay of the body?
This is something that perhaps only elderly people can feel in their twilight years, but for Lin Hao at this moment, it is actually very familiar.
After all, at the age of four or five, he was sealed away by his father for more than 20,000 years.
Then, he spent a long life of 1,500 years in a near-realistic dream world.
The perception of this cessation of everything, the natural decay of the body, and the natural decay of the soul reached a peak that ordinary people could not comprehend.
Therefore, what was the final hurdle that the middle-aged man surnamed Yu had little confidence in was not so mysterious or unknown to Lin Hao.
Many things, once their veil of mystery is torn away and the unknown is transformed into the known, then everything becomes less frightening, less fanciful, and less impossible; all changes become logical and natural.
As the physical body ceased to function, the soul, lacking the nourishment of the body and the suppression of the five-colored soil, also began to decay and collapse.
Yet that wisp of fire in the heart never went out, flickering a warm, not dazzling, but exceptionally resilient light within that decaying and fragile soul.
The will to survive drove the flames to ignite his entire soul, breaking through the immense pressure in the final moment and reconnecting with his physical body.
In an instant, that wisp of soul light, which had broken through its limits and possessed some extraordinary characteristics, began to transform into a higher dimension under the support of the god-level physical body.
Five-colored celestial light bloomed and shone within the divine soul.
Then, a pure white soul ring that faintly shimmered with five-colored light condensed once again, and a pure white soul core that shimmered with five-colored light also condensed in the upper dantian, Niwan Palace.
Holy crap! It actually worked!
The aura of a true god enveloped the entire planet, creating a faint sense of crisis. However, the old Qilin didn't even have time to feel sorry for the five-colored soil of his clan that was almost ruined. He directly transformed into a stream of five-colored light and rushed towards the place of life-saving prepared for him by his master.
The next instant, a boy who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old also soared into the sky, his eyes flashing with divine light as he scanned the entire planet. After finally finding nothing, he landed on the ground with a dark expression.
After tidying up my slightly disheveled and damaged clothes and changing into a new outfit, I returned to my group.
——————
"So...you became a god?"
"No, didn't you hear the point I was trying to make? I was buried alive by that old Qilin!"
"So, you became a level three god before you were even eight years old..."
“I mean… well, you’re right.”
Looking at this silver-haired, purple-eyed loli who was unusually attractive to him, he was completely dazed, with an expression that looked like she had been thoroughly played with.
Lin Hao, who had already taken over Bai Xiuxiu and was silently injecting divine power into her body to accelerate her transformation, thought it best not to mention this matter for the next 20 years, otherwise this knowledgeable legal loli would go astray.
When his sister Wu Lin truly grows up, she'll probably see him as a monster too, right?
but…
"Sister, why do you look so matter-of-fact? And what's with the food? You didn't even call me! Wu Lin, go get the four of us's share!"
"Understood, Brother Hao!"
After raising his hand in a salute and making a very serious but cute gesture, Tang Wulin jogged over to Hu Liena's side, gave her a big smile, and then accepted a large basket of specialty fruits and vegetables from the Yuanling Star Region from her.
"Brother Hao, Sister Na'er, where are you!"
He picked up a large basket of spiritual fruits and handed it to Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena took two and started eating them to calm herself down. Then Tang Wulin ran over to Lin Hao, picked up a fruit in each hand, and held it to Lin Hao's mouth, letting out a soft "ah".
So cute!
After gently sniffing twice to confirm that he wasn't bleeding from his nose, Lin Hao, warmed by his sweet little girl's kindness, continued to channel his divine power into Bai Xiuxiu to help her transform, while accepting Tang Wulin's feeding service with a clear conscience.
Then, Gu Yuena, who was already feeling heartbroken, felt even more heartbroken at this moment.
Looking at Tang Wulin, who is now portrayed as an adorable, innocent, gentle, considerate, and warm-hearted little treasure, Gu Yuena suddenly felt that the spiritual fruit, which was originally beneficial to bloodline transformation and tasted quite good, suddenly lost all its flavor and tasted like chewing wax.
"Hmm...it's so warm...where...am I?"
I opened my eyes groggily, and then I felt myself lying in someone's arms.
The continuous warm current in her lower abdomen made Bai Xiuxiu unconsciously hum softly twice, and she habitually hugged the thing he was leaning against.
Then... the warm current in her abdomen suddenly stopped, instantly waking up the dazed Bai Xiuxiu. After carefully opening her eyes, she saw two pairs of meaningful eyes, one pair of adorable, blank eyes staring straight at her, this poor, helpless little shark who didn't eat much.
Bai Xiuxiu quickly got up from Lin Hao's embrace, casually straightened her clothes, and coughed lightly twice. When she realized that the two pairs of meaningful eyes were still there, she finally decided to use the topic-changing technique to divert her embarrassment.
"Well, my martial soul has evolved."
"………":stare.
A radiant blue light instantly enveloped Bai Xiuxiu's entire body. Then, unlike the demonic great white shark that appeared after previous spirit summons, this time Bai Xiuxiu's spirit summoning manifested more in the changes to her body.
Blue scales instantly covered Bai Xiuxiu's fair calves and forearms, transforming into blue dragon claws from her hands and feet.
On its smooth forehead, small, light blue horns sprouted, and behind its previously empty back, a blue dragon tail appeared.
The domain formed spontaneously, and amidst the pervasive mist, the water changed at will, with both a clear and ethereal quality and a violent and heavy one constantly alternating within it.
The dragon's imposing aura was revealed, and it exuded an aura of being independent of the world and transcending everything.
"How could this be? Her dragon bloodline is unaffected by me?"
Surprise flashed across Gu Yuena's eyes, which were like the purest amethyst, and then, as Bai Xiuxiu explained, a sense of relief appeared.
"Martial Soul, Void Dragon, Attribute: Void, Water."
"Although I haven't developed much of its power yet, that feeling of transcending the world and being unbound is truly wonderful, like...like..."
Clearly, Bai Xiuxiu's vocabulary was insufficient for him to describe the feeling she experienced after her martial spirit merged with this world.
Lin Hao, who had been experiencing this feeling almost constantly since awakening his martial soul, quietly revealed the reason.
"It's probably because of the influence of my martial spirit! After all, I can do these things on my own, but I can control whatever I want to do. Xiuxiu, you still need to get used to it."
