In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 259 The So-Called Divine Oracle, the Secret Hidden Within Lin Hai

Within the barrier set up by Qian Daoliu, Lin Hai could feel the sacred power of the Angelic Martial Soul.

"Now it's just you and me here. There are some things you can tell me now!"

"Your seventh spirit ring, even if we consider it a 100,000-year spirit ring based on your ambition! With the Eighth and Ninth Elders present, plus the power behind you, obtaining a 100,000-year spirit beast from the Star Dou Great Forest would be difficult, but it's not impossible."

"I already knew about the Star Dou Great Forest; there are only two small beasts there!"

"With such formidable Title Douluo power behind you and Xiaoxue, you still come to me for help. I find it hard to imagine what your initial intentions were in approaching Xiaoxue, and what your purpose was?"

"Senior, you can rest assured. Regardless of anything else, just the fact that you are Qian Renxue's elder makes me unlikely to do anything to harm her."

"I'm not alone, I won't do anything reckless."

Lin Hai had already stood up by himself just as Qian Daoliu was speaking.

"Um!"

"Speak! Since you know my name, Sky Douluo, it proves you've done your homework. Let me see what kind of problem you've encountered that makes you seek my help!"

Lin Hai knew he couldn't ramble on any longer; Qian Daoliu had already reminded him twice to get down to business.

Lin Hai spoke directly, saying, "The story begins three years ago."

"Back when Qian Renxue broke through to the Soul Saint realm, I happened to have some information about a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforming into a human, so I gave this information to Qian Renxue as a favor."

"A Soul Master who has been reborn as a human after 100,000 years, aren't you even a little bit tempted?" Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Hai with a questioning gaze, the intimidation in his eyes seeming to demand that Lin Hai reveal his true thoughts.

"What you said is true. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't tempted at all. Back then, I was still a Soul King. Whether I dared to absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring when I had my sixth or seventh Soul Ring was another matter, but I still had the guts to do so when I had my eighth or ninth Soul Ring."

"Ten thousand-year-old soul beasts are rare, and soul masters who transform from ten thousand-year-old soul beasts into human form are even rarer."

"However, I have greater ambitions, so I have high requirements for the attributes and quality of the spirit rings."

"It's interesting that there are requirements for the attributes and quality of the spirit rings. Could it be that you're going to follow the path of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, taking the ultimate route?" Qian Daoliu's gaze was indifferent, his tone full of his own speculation based on what Lin Hai had said.

"My birth determines my potential, but I have never believed in so-called fate since I was a child. My fate should be in my own hands. After my martial soul awakened, I learned about a very strange thing through a lot of books, which is martial soul mutation. I define this mutation as the evolution and degeneration of martial soul."

"Since a martial soul can change during awakening, why can't it evolve again later in life?"

"So I embarked on a path of pursuing the pure evolution of my martial spirit."

"Tell me the corresponding spirit beasts associated with your spirit rings."

"Of course, senior."

"My first spirit ring was taken from a 500-year-old white jade bamboo, which mainly increases the attributes of health and tenacity."

"My second spirit ring was taken from a nine-hundred-year-old Heavenly Star Vine. The second spirit ring enhanced my life attribute and added starlight attribute, which can absorb spirit power."

"My third spirit ring was definitely the first turning point in my life!"

"I obtained my third spirit ring by chance. When I went to the Star Dou Great Forest, I happened to encounter a thousand-year-old lightning-struck plant-type spirit beast."

Lightning-struck wood, a plant-type soul beast, is an ordinary plant that survives after being struck by lightning and enters the world of soul beasts. However, the soul master world looks down on this kind of soul beast that can die at any time, and Lin Hai was the first lucky one to absorb lightning-struck wood.

"My martial soul at the time was a mutated Blue Silver Grass martial soul, which was neither the best nor the worst, but if I wanted to become a true strongman, I had to take this risk and absorb this soul beast that was looked down upon by the world."

"In my eyes, the lightning-struck wood spirit beast is also an opportunity for me. If the lightning-struck wood can regain its vitality after destruction, then my martial spirit will surely be reborn and have a turning point."

"I admit there was an element of gambling involved, but I gambled correctly. My third spirit ring gave me my first offensive spirit skill, and at the same time, the life attribute of my martial spirit also increased."

"My fourth spirit ring came from the sacrifice of a 50,000-year-old mutated Blue Silver King spirit beast."

"It was also because of its sacrifice that, under the same origin, I gained the recognition of the Blue Silver Grass clan. My martial soul successfully evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor. At the same time, my martial soul fully acquired the lightning attribute in addition to the life attribute. It was not an attribute added to it, but rather an attribute imprinted on its origin."

"The fifth spirit ring comes from a ten-thousand-year-old dark gold sacred vine grass, which enhances life attributes and adds the power of Geng metal."

"The sixth spirit ring was obtained with the help of Qian Renxue. It is a 100,000-year-old Thunder Hell Vine, which enhances both lightning and life attributes."

"Oh, six spirit rings, all taken from plant-type spirit beasts. Are you following the path of life?"

"Boy, reveal your martial spirit and let me feel the life force of your martial spirit."

At this point, Qian Daoliu was absolutely certain that Lin Hai had a divine presence. Not for any other reason than that he, Qian Daoliu, was one of only two divine servants on this continent!

Although he couldn't directly tell from the outside whether Lin Hai was favored by the gods, he had other means. He could sense the power of the gods simply by touching Lin Hai's martial soul.

If Lin Hai is truly blessed by the gods, then he must help him no matter what, as this would benefit both the Spirit Hall and Qian Renxue.

Lin Hai had already prepared for this. Since he wanted Qian Daoliu's support, he naturally needed to reveal some things.

Fortunately, he had a third-world perspective and knew that as long as he didn't threaten the Spirit Hall, harm his granddaughter Qian Renxue, or covet the Angel God's inheritance, he wouldn't do this to Lin Hai.

Qian Daoliu sensed the life fluctuations released by the Lin Hai Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, and at the same time, he drew upon his divine power to probe it.

The angel god, far away in the divine realm, was nearly terrified upon witnessing this scene. Although the angel god was unsure whether Lin Hai was the successor of the God of Life or the God of Destruction, what if he was? Qian Daoliu's actions meant that she had offended two god-kings, who were also her superiors.

Moreover, she, the high and mighty goddess, had witnessed the entire conversation between Lin Hai and Qian Daoliu. While the Angel Goddess certainly had the ability to uncover some of Lin Hai's bottom lines, she was not like the Sea God or the Asura God, who could arbitrarily interfere with the order of the lower realm. She, the Angel Goddess, was the epitome of justice and fairness.

Lin Hai is capable enough, and may even be able to achieve godhood through his own abilities, just like the sea god who disagreed with her.

However, by issuing this divine decree, the angel goddess had violated the rules she herself had set.

Okay! She's just afraid of being retaliated against by her direct superior! Whether she's there or not won't significantly interfere with the future development of the Douluo Continent.

The angel delivered a divine decree, and Qian Daoliu's body instantly stopped moving.

This time, Qian Daoliu was no longer calm. He was now quite certain that the little guy in front of him was truly blessed by the gods.

Qian Daoliu's gaze towards Lin Hai changed, and complex emotions were hidden deep in his eyes.

The angel god had only sent down divine pronouncements a few times, but this time it was a divine pronouncement specifically sent down for Lin Hai.

(Some fans might think that the angel in the original timeline either didn't exist or something happened to her because she never appeared. My setting here is that she is alive and adheres to the principle of fairness, never interfering.)

Because life and destruction are indeed watching over Lin Hai.

Just like in the original timeline, the reason why Poseidon, the sea god, only found out at the very end that the Asura God also had feelings for Tang San was partly because the Asura God was a god-king.

"Little Purple, that angel god under your command is quite interesting!" This was a tone unique to the God of Life and the God of Destruction when they were alone.

"She's smart enough to know her place, humph!" The God of Destruction snorted.

……

"Ambition? You've got quite the ambition, kid. And you've got pretty good luck too!" Qian Daoliu finally said.

"However, you still haven't gotten to the point!" Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Hai meaningfully. After talking for so long, he still hadn't gotten to the point.

"Yes, that's what I was just about to say."

"Actually, during that operation, I encountered a strange soul beast."

"A soul beast?"

"Yes, it claims to be a million-year-old spirit-type soul beast, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a soul beast born in the far north."

"After we entered the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, it suddenly appeared in my mind's sea of ​​consciousness."

"So, this is your target!" Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems to be trapped in some kind of predicament, imprisoned, and unable to get out easily."

"I thought to myself at the time that there must be something fishy about the fact that behind the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, there was actually a mental-type soul beast that claimed to be a million years old being imprisoned."

"Is what you're saying true?" Qian Daoliu frowned. He had lived for nearly two hundred years and had never heard of a million-year-old soul beast on the Douluo Continent.

As for soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old, Qian Daoliu had heard of them. Back when the three Limit Douluos of the sea, land and air gathered together, he learned from another Limit Douluo, who was also a divine servant, that there was a terrifying soul beast in the ocean, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a super soul beast that was over 100,000 years old. It is said that it is now 700,000 to 800,000 years old and once fought with the Sea God.

Therefore, although Qian Daoliu did not find any terrifying soul beasts with an age of over 100,000 years on the vast land of Douluo Continent, he believed that such soul beasts must exist on the continent, and there might be more than one of them.

"I suspect that some kind of great terror must be hidden in some unknown part of the Star Dou Great Forest, otherwise that so-called million-year-old soul beast should not have been imprisoned."

"Little guy, I'll ask you one last time, are you really sure that the soul beast that appeared in your spiritual sea is a soul beast of extremely high age?" A million-year-old soul beast, even Qian Daoliu himself dared not imagine it, so he was referring to the extremely high-age soul beast he was talking about.

"Its spiritual power is extremely strong. The reason why Qian Renxue and I were able to easily hunt that 100,000-year-old Soul Master who had transformed into a human was because it tampered with things behind the scenes."

"It can influence the thoughts and actions of people over the next 100,000 years..."

Although the Angel God gave him a divine decree to help Lin Hai as much as possible, Qian Daoliu did not want Lin Hai to receive help so easily, as this was clearly not in the interest of the Spirit Hall, nor in line with their faith in the Angel God.

Qian Daoliu has lived for over two hundred years. He dedicated the first half of his life to the Spirit Hall and the second half to the Angel God. Now, he only wants to leave the Qian family with a legacy.

Does Qian Daoliu really not know how Qian Xunji died? He saw through Bibi Dong's ambition long ago.

Ever since his son Qian Xunji did that to Bibi Dong, he has known about the cycle of karma and cause and effect.

While he was still alive, Bibi Dong dared not do anything, but when he returned to the world, Bibi Dong would take action against their angel race.

Why didn't Qian Daoliu kill Bibi Dong?

Because Bibi Dong was already pregnant before she killed Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu was unable to resolve this problem afterward.

Although Bibi Dong was not very friendly to Qian Renxue, even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, and Qian Renxue was his hope for the continuation of the angel bloodline a hundred years later.

"Oh, right, this Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which claims to be a million-year-old soul beast, has an extremely large amount of life energy. Even though it was just a spiritual entity that entered my spiritual sea that day, I could still feel that rich life force that permeated my spirit."

"Even more abundant life energy than your Blue Silver Emperor martial soul?"

"As you should know, seniors, soul beasts are not united. There must be even more terrifying soul beasts coveting the life energy of these silkworm-like soul beasts, hiding in the shadows and secretly absorbing it."

"This kind of feast among soul beasts is something that even the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest are not qualified to participate in."

Lin Hai tried to be tactful in his explanation, even though he knew what was going on inside. He knew that revealing the truth would arouse Qian Daoliu's suspicion, and that would be disastrous.

"In that case, I will accompany you on this journey."

Originally, Qian Daoliu intended never to leave the Hall of Worship. He only wanted to protect this angelic legacy for Qian Renxue.

Even if he was persuaded by Lin Hai and Qian Renxue, he himself was not prepared to make a move. At most, he would send a few more elders to accompany him, including Jin E.

But now! That's hard to say. The angels have issued a divine decree, a situation comparable to a divine trial. Qian Daoliu can't afford to take it lightly.

He guessed that the angels had already seen Lin Hai's potential—his potential to become a god.
