Douluo Continent: Angels Descend, Glory Reborn

In the original novel, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's choice of Huo Yuhao, who had a unique mind but a weak martial soul, was a gamble made out of desperation.

But what if a perfect candidate with a god-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, innate level 20 soul power, the right age, and unlimited potential appeared before it? Would the outcome be different?

A resolute glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes. Without further hesitation, he activated his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, fully embodying it!

An even more dazzling golden light erupted from his body, his long golden hair danced wildly, and his six wings fully unfurled, each feather flowing with a tangible golden radiance. An aura of holiness, majesty, and sublimity permeated the air.

With a flap of his wings, Su Chen transformed into a golden streak of light and soared into the sky, instantly breaking through the canopy and flying high above the forest. He determined his direction and flew swiftly towards the area where Huo Yuhao was most likely to appear, according to his memory.

Before long, his eyes narrowed, he lowered his altitude, and silently landed on a horizontal branch of an ancient tree. He concealed his aura and looked down into the clearing in the forest.

A life-or-death struggle is underway on the open ground.

A black-haired boy, covered in blood and wielding a white dagger, was fighting off a massive wind baboon. His eyes were resolute; even in dire straits, he refused to give up.

"Huo Yuhao...it really is him." Su Chen observed calmly. Although the black-haired boy below was in grave danger, his movements were agile, and his dodges were quite methodical.

"Roar!" The wind baboon went berserk and leaped up, its claws aimed straight for Huo Yuhao's heart!

Huo Yuhao's pupils constricted. At this critical moment, instead of retreating, he advanced, his body twisting at an unbelievable angle, narrowly avoiding the claws. Simultaneously, his White Tiger Dagger traced a precise arc—

"Pfft!"

The dagger pierced the wind baboon's left eye with pinpoint accuracy!

"Awooo—!" The wind baboon let out a mournful howl and collapsed to the ground with a thud, a white soul ring slowly appearing around it.

Huo Yuhao staggered backward, sliding down a tree and landing on the ground, his face as pale as paper. He struggled to stand up, but everything went black, and he lost consciousness completely.

Just as Huo Yuhao lost consciousness, a languid yet infinitely delighted mental wave rippled out:

"Hehehehe...After waiting so long, I've finally found someone decent!"

Su Chen was startled, but remained outwardly calm as he scanned the source of the mental fluctuations.

From the bushes, a massive, jade-like silkworm-shaped soul beast slowly emerged. Over seven meters long, its translucent white jade body was adorned with ten gleaming golden rings. Its small golden eyes darted about, full of cunning and excitement.

A million-year-old soul beast—the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!

[Ding! Important character detected - Million-year soul beast Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, check-in successful!]

[Reward Distribution: Angel Realm (Beginner)]

[Angel Domain: A divine-level domain skill. Upon activation, a divine force field is formed centered on the host. Within the domain: the host's all attributes are increased by 50%, and the enemy's all attributes are suppressed by 30%; it continuously dissolves the enemy's soul power; it has an additional 200% restraining and purifying effect on attributes such as darkness, evil, undead, and poison. The domain's range and strength increase as the host's strength improves.]

As soon as the system notification sound ended, a surge of profound domain information flooded into Su Chen's mind. He instantly understood the method and wonders of activating the Angel Domain and was overjoyed.

At this moment, the mental fluctuations of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm resounded once more:

"Twelve years old, first spirit ring eight hundred years old! Spiritual power is also exceptionally solid... Most importantly, this martial spirit! Six-winged Angel! A top-tier divine martial spirit exactly the same as that of the angel goddess Qian Renxue from ten thousand years ago! And your wings... are they naturally six-winged? Incredible! Hahaha, my luck has finally arrived! After waiting for so many years, I've finally found a host worthy of me!"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm twisted its plump, crystalline body and slowly moved towards the tree where Su Chen was. Its small golden eyes were fixed on Su Chen in the tree, and its mental fluctuations were full of confidence and incitement:

"Kid, can you hear me? Come on, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the only peerless soul beast in the entire history of Douluo Continent, in heaven and on earth, to cultivate for a million years! There has never been a silkworm before, and there will never be one after!"

"I have an earth-shattering plan for becoming a god here! It can help you reshape your angelic position, clear away all obstacles, ascend to the divine realm, and gain eternal life! How about it? Excited? Aren't you thrilled?"

Su Chen leaped lightly from the tree, his six wings slowly folding behind him, his long golden hair cascading down like a waterfall, shimmering with a dazzling luster in the sunlight.

His handsome, godlike face revealed just the right amount of surprise, wariness, and a hint of curiosity. His gaze calmly swept over the unconscious Huo Yuhao on the ground, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination and indifference.

Having chosen this path of seizing opportunities and defying fate, there's no need for hypocrisy or hesitation. I'll take Huo Yuhao's opportunity.

But if there is an opportunity in the future, I will avenge you for being manipulated and controlled by Tang San like a pawn, a puppet, or even a "dog," and for having your love and fate designed by him. Then we will be even.

He composed himself, gazing at the enormous and wondrous million-year-old soul beast before him. He responded with a mental fluctuation, his voice calm and unwavering: "My name is Su Chen. The Godhood Plan? Sounds tempting. But there's no such thing as a free lunch. What are your conditions? What price do you require of me?"

"Smart! Direct! I love talking to smart people!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm excitedly twisted its body, its jade-like form reflecting a mesmerizing halo in the sunlight. "The conditions are simple! I'll help you become a god, and you grant me immortality! It's a win-win situation, a mutually beneficial partnership!"

"In return for your investment, I will not only become your second spirit ring—but also an unprecedented intelligent spirit ring, granting you four powerful mental spirit skills, but also help you forge a top-tier second martial soul! I guarantee it won't be much worse than your current angel martial soul! What do you think? This deal is definitely a steal for you!"

"A second martial soul?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow, feigning deep thought, his fingers unconsciously stroking his chin. He naturally understood what the second martial soul Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke of meant—one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, a 400,000-year-old super soul beast, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion! The ultimate ice attribute, a top-tier beast martial soul! Once obtained, both martial souls would possess god-level potential, with limitless future prospects!

"That's right! A second martial soul!" Seeing Su Chen's interest, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quickly increased the stakes, its mental fluctuations filled with seductive allure. "My accumulated spiritual essence and a portion of ice essence over millions of years are enough to plant the potential foundation for a super ice-attribute martial soul within you!"

"Furthermore, my Wisdom Soul Ring is special, allowing you to acquire four growable spiritual skills ahead of time! Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, who else but me could offer you this? That unconscious kid? His weak Spirit Eye Martial Soul simply can't support my complete plan!"

Su Chen remained silent for a moment, his gaze meeting that of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's small golden eyes. He could sense the urgency, sincerity, and a hint of barely perceptible unease in the other's mental fluctuations—this million-year-old soul beast had been trapped for too long, and its desire for immortality had reached its peak. At this moment, it was like a gambler who had seen a glimmer of hope for a comeback, and had placed all its bets on it.

"Okay, I agree." Su Chen nodded, his tone decisive and without hesitation. "What do you need me to do?"

"Hahaha! That's great! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm erupted with immense joy and relief. It laughed loudly, its body trembling slightly with excitement. "Relax your mind, don't resist! Open your heart and accept my sacrifice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm burst forth with dazzling golden light! The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually forming a huge golden cocoon with a diameter of over fifteen meters, which hovered in front of Su Chen.

"Boy, are you ready?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice came from the cocoon of light.

Su Chen took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Let's go!"

"Buzz—!"

The golden cocoon of light transformed into a torrent of light pillars, completely enveloping Su Chen! Vast spiritual and soul power, as boundless as a starry sea, surged into him!

"Ugh!" Su Chen groaned, his body trembling violently. He gritted his teeth and persevered, channeling his soul power to guide this force.

His spiritual world underwent a tremendous transformation!

The originally small mental space was violently expanded! Golden light condensed into ten enormous golden halos, hanging high above the sea of ​​consciousness. Each halo emitted a milky-white glow, which coalesced into ten spheres of light, radiating powerful mental fluctuations.

"How about it, Su Chen? This is the new home I built for you! Impressive, isn't it? Luxurious, isn't it? These ten halos and orbs are the essence of my spiritual origin from a million years of cultivation! In the future, they will be enough to upgrade all your soul rings to the 100,000-year level, and make your spiritual power the best on the continent, sweeping away everything!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice echoed in this vast and boundless sea of ​​spirit, though it carried obvious fatigue, it was full of pride and smugness.

Su Chen's consciousness wandered in this new, vast, star-like sea of ​​spirit, feeling its boundless expanse and the terrifying, world-destroying energy contained within the ten orbs of light. He was overwhelmed with awe, and at the same time, a surge of intense confidence welled up within him. With such a solid foundation, how could he not become a god?

Outside, Su Chen's soul power began to surge wildly!

Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three... His soul power level rose steadily! At the same time, the color of his first soul ring deepened, gradually changing from yellow to dark yellow, and finally settling on purple, with a faint purple halo around the edge—his age had increased to three thousand years!

Beside him, a second spirit ring was rapidly condensing and taking shape—

It wasn't the usual yellow, purple, or black; it was a dazzling golden soul ring, as if it had been cast from the essence of liquid sunlight!

On the surface of the spirit ring, ten fine and mysterious golden patterns flowed slowly as if alive, emanating a terrifying pressure and supreme aura that made one's soul tremble! A million-year spirit ring! A legend never before seen in the history of Douluo Continent!

In the end, Su Chen's soul power settled at level twenty-seven! His first soul ring was purple, with a lifespan of three thousand years! His second soul ring was an unprecedented million-year golden soul ring!
