A strand of purple-black, destructive divine power condensed at the God of Destruction's fingertips.
With a light slash—
The sturdy space of the God Realm was torn open like thin paper, splitting into a massive crack.
On the other side of the crack was the core of the God Realm, the central hall of the God Realm Committee.
The place where the Five Great Law Enforcent Gods held council.
He could not even be bothered to announce himself before barging straight in.
His tone was gentle enough to lt into water.
"Xiao Liu, wait for here. I'll be back soon."
"I'll uncover everything about that Seed of Life and bring the answers back to you."
After speaking—
He released his embrace and stepped directly into the spatial crack.
The crack instantly closed behind him.
Only a faint trace of destructive aura remained, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees filling the room.
The Goddess of Life stood there quietly, raising her hand to gently touch her forehead.
His warmth still lingered there.
Looking toward the direction where he disappeared, all unease within her erald eyes completely vanished.
What remained was complete reassurance—
And gentle anticipation toward that distant Seed of Life.
She raised her hand, a strand of erald life fireflies swirling around her fingertips.
Toward Douluo Star in the lower realm, she softly sent it drifting away.
That strand of glowing life energy crossed countless layers of space and ti, flying toward the Seed of Life that was slowly stirring awake.
Like a mother crossing thousands of miles to offer her child tender comfort.
…
Lin Qingmo sorted through the entire plotline of Douluo Continent (Parts One through Four).
He even dug through the scattered settings from Legend of the God Realm and side novels like Child of Light.
Yet he still could not find the slightest clue connected to this bizarre stone.
He had transmigrated into this world for more than ten years.
But this strange incident completely exceeded every setting established in the original work.
Soul power circulated through his palm as his glowing blue Blue Silver Grass martial soul slowly erged.
The delicate blades of grass stretched outward with a faint life aura.
At the root area, a deep green stone, roughly the size of a palm, rested quietly within it.
There was not the slightest energy fluctuation, yet it seed as though it had grown roots there, completely fused together with the origin of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
No matter how he washed over it with soul power or probed it with spiritual power, there was no response at all.
Lin Qingmo rubbed the martial soul phantom with his fingertips.
With a thought, he snapped a picture of the manifested martial soul image and tossed it into the chat group:
[Dad Douluo]: Family, help take a look at what's going on with my martial soul.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: ???
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Ah Qing, this is your Blue Silver Grass martial soul? What's going on? Why is there a stone embedded in it?
[Little Witch]: Am I seeing this right? Blue Silver Grass growing a rock? Ah Qing, did your martial soul mutate?
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: What are you up to? What happened to your Blue Silver Grass martial soul?
Three ssages appeared almost simultaneously, with questions from the three girls, each carrying a distinctly different tone.
[Dad Douluo]: I picked up a random stone at the Heaven Dou Auction House. The night I brought it ho, it fused into my martial soul by itself. After that, there's been no movent. It's like a dead rock.
As Lin Qingmo replied, his heart was filled with helplessness.
The stone simply refused to react, like so completely irrelevant decoration embedded inside his martial soul.
[Golden Liquid Angel]: Another unknown supre treasure?
Ever since Lin Qingmo revealed that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, was connected to the Sea God's inheritance—
Anything capable of fusing into a martial soul was naturally equated with the words "supre treasure" in her eyes.
[Dad Douluo]: I honestly don't know if it's a treasure or not.
[Dad Douluo]: I've tried countless tis. My soul power limit didn't increase; there are no extra soul skills, no changes to existing soul skills, and even the toughness of the Blue Silver Grass is exactly the sa as before. Aside from an extra stone, the martial soul hasn't changed at all.
Lin Qingmo was equally helpless while typing the ssage.
The stone simply ignored everything.
[Bingbing]: Isn't growing a rock already a change? What, were you expecting it to suddenly pop out a god position for you?
The Ice Empress's sharp tongue was never absent.
Though her words carried mockery, deep curiosity about the stone had already risen in her heart.
"Could it really be so kind of divine object again?"
[Big-Chested Kitty]: I've never heard of an external object fusing into a martial soul and becoming part of the martial soul itself.
Zhu Zhuqing's ssages were always concise yet struck directly at the core.
A martial soul was a soul master's second life, their origin core.
How could an external object casually fuse with it?
Sothing that could rge safely without backlash was completely unheard of.
[Yanzi]: I've never heard of sothing this strange either.
[Ice and Snow Maiden]: Ah Qing, I'm curious. After fusing with a stone, what exactly does your martial soul count as now?
The mont that sentence appeared, the chat group instantly fell silent.
That was right.
A martial soul was the origin of a soul master, an imprint carved into the soul itself.
Now Lin Qingmo's Blue Silver Grass martial soul contained sothing that absolutely did not belong to the martial soul itself yet had fused with its origin.
So, was this martial soul still the original Blue Silver Grass?
And if not, then what exactly was it now?
This question directly struck at Lin Qingmo's greatest confusion as well.
[Dad Douluo]: I can't give an answer either.
[Dad Douluo]: Aside from the extra stone, the structure and attributes of the martial soul are identical to the previous Blue Silver Grass. So I guess… Is it still Blue Silver Grass?
Even after sending the ssage, he lacked confidence.
[Green Grass Mom]: Ah Qing, that stone should have sothing special about it, right?
As one of the people directly involved, Ah Yin tactfully gave a reminder.
[Dad Douluo]: Yeah. Ah Yin was the first to notice sothing special about it. It seems to contain so unknown life energy.
[Dad Douluo]: But I don't know anything else. That's why I'm asking you guys.
[Dad Douluo]: Can any of you search online for and see whether the Douluo Dalu original work ever recorded anything related to this? Or did anything similar ever appear?
The mont that ssage was sent—
The chat group, which had still occasionally shown ssages, instantly plunged into dead silence.
Every single person on the other side of the screen felt their hearts skip a beat.
Their fingers hovered over the input box for ages without daring to type a single word.
Xiao Wu's rabbit ears instantly perked up as alarm bells exploded in her heart.
Douluo Dalu original work?
What was that supposed to be?
And why was Ah Qing suddenly saying things she completely could not understand?!
If she replied and accidentally exposed sothing, everything would be over.
She bit her lip and stared fixedly at the screen, not daring to type a single character.
…
Ning Rongrong was equally dumbfounded.
Search?
How was she supposed to search?
Douluo Dalu original work… What kind of ancient text was that?
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the Upper Three Sects. The sect library contained countless martial soul secret records across the continent, even ancient records from primordial soul masters.
Yet she had never once heard of so "Douluo Dalu" original work.
"What exactly is Ah Qing talking about?"
What if Ah Qing was testing them…
Frowning deeply, she also dared not speak casually.
…
Liu Erlong sat in her office chair, her brows tightly knitted.
Though her temper was explosive, she knew those words lacked context.
If she answered incorrectly, she might expose sothing instead.
So, she could only stay silent.
…
The others shared roughly the sa thoughts.
The dead silence in the group lasted for a full thirty seconds.
Finally, one ssage broke the silence:
[The Pope Herself]: Ah Qing, I'll help you investigate related information. If I find anything, I'll tell you imdiately.
In truth, she also had no idea what the "Douluo Dalu" original work was, nor did she know what "internet" ant.
But she could not allow this awkwardness to continue, much less let Lin Qingmo grow suspicious.
Sigh, this chat group really would fall apart without her.
At tis like this, it still had to be her stepping in.
She had to stabilize the situation and prevent Lin Qingmo from discovering their abnormalities.
One simple sentence quietly smoothed over the topic and gave everyone else in the chat group a way out.
