Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

The Blue Silver Emperor bloodline is basically useless.

Although it didn't really matter whether Lu Yan was crippled or not, Tang San had never been taken seriously by him.

The only reason they remain is because they don't yet have the strength to directly confront the Asura God.

Even if Tang San awakens the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, so what?

Not to mention Lu Yan's own younger sister, even Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu from the original work, and even those who were taught a lesson by Lu Yan.

Feng Xiaotian, who is wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation and improvement, is enough to give Tang San a hard time.

His every move has already changed too much from the original work.

The next All-Continent Soul Master Tournament is destined to be a fierce battle.

Lu Yan spent a lot of time and effort planning for this.

The purpose is to harvest a large number of high-quality Soul Masters at that time.

If all goes well, perhaps in one fell swoop, his primordial spirit could be completely pushed to the level of a god.

Instead of what it is now, possessing some divine qualities but lacking the quality and quantity of a divine being.

That would be quite awkward.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to deal with Blue Silver Emperor A Yin; he could have just spread out the magic network directly.

It's because the amount of primordial spirit power resources needed to expand the magic network is currently too enormous.

This left him with no choice but to find another way, otherwise, once this network was built, it would be almost equivalent to Lu Yan investing his faith income for many years to come into the network.

Instead, it slowed down his growth, which was a net loss.

Ultimately, killing the Blue Silver King and tricking Tang San were just side effects.

It's just about using one fish in multiple ways.

As for whether Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin will harbor any resentment because of killing Blue Silver King.

Lu Yan never cared; as long as it worked, that was enough. Since he intended to use the Blue Silver Emperor and even the entire Blue Silver Grass clan as the server and base station for the magic network.

Lu Yan naturally had to employ sufficient means.

This also explains his ruthless attitude towards Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin.

It would be best if he was willing to cooperate, as it would save him a lot of trouble. But if he was unwilling to cooperate...

At most, Lu Yan's spiritual origin limit will only drop by a few levels.

I'll just start creating it from scratch myself. It's just so heartbreaking.

To put it bluntly, Lu Yan just wanted to reap the benefits without investing too much.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Lu Yan quietly gazed at the stunningly beautiful face of the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.

If the Blue Silver Emperor doesn't know what's good for him, then he can't be blamed.

Even though her intelligence has been extinguished, the body of the Blue Silver Emperor is still usable.

As for his ruthlessness, Lu Yan did not deny it.

Of course, if we're talking about ruthlessness, his actions are far more merciful than Tang Hao's schemes against his wife back then.

He was targeting potential enemies, while Tang Hao was targeting his own wife.

Although, this wife is a soul beast, right?

But what about soul beasts?

With looks like that, even Cao Cao is a blessing for you, Tang Hao.

Although Lu Yan once used the excuse that Tang San was a monster who was half-human and half-soul beast to judge him.

But you know, it's okay to fool others with this kind of thing, but to fool yourself is a bit too much.

Lu Yan had neither a good nor a bad impression of the soul beast race.

Kill if you want to kill, release if you want to release; it's all up to you.

To be honest, is this a bit of a double standard?

However, Lu Yan didn't care. Most people have double standards and selfish motives.

He is just one of the masses, not a saint, and will never become one.

But then again, looking at the gentle and charming Blue Silver Emperor A Yin in front of him, Lu Yan felt a slight pang of regret.

This woman is actually quite pitiful.

She thought she had married the towering Haotian Douluo, and that she had a love that would last until death.

In the end, she was nothing more than the perfect stepping stone on Tang Hao's path to the top.

It was pretty stupid. If he hadn't told Tang Hao his true identity as a soul beast, perhaps none of this would have happened.

There's nothing we can do; she's just too love-obsessed.

But Douluo Continent is also a continent of love, so what can be done?

Lu Yan wasn't really sure if he could persuade Blue Silver Emperor A Yin this time.

If Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin were to fall head over heels in love, there would be nothing Lu Yan could do.

It's a bit ridiculous, but it's not just love that's a tragedy.

Her own son, whom she carried for ten months, had already died in the womb the moment he was born.

The one who walks in the outside world now under the name of Tang San is nothing more than a soul from another world brought over by the God of Asura.

It was just an intruder who forcibly took over her son's body.

The husband and children she had devoted everything to protecting turned out to be someone who was using her and someone who was no longer her flesh and blood.

It's pathetic and lamentable, but it doesn't necessarily deserve sympathy.

Lu Yan remained silent, his gaze calmly fixed on Ah Yin.

Ah Yin's heart was pounding, and a slight shiver ran through her body.

The young man before her had a gentle expression, but deep within his eyes lay an indifference and majesty that made her soul tremble.

It was a kind of scrutiny that transcended all things, as if everything about her—life and death, staying or leaving, even the past and the future—was only a matter of the other person's thoughts.

She dared not speak, and could only quietly await the judgment.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yan finally spoke slowly, his voice calm and even, yet carrying an absolute and unyielding authority.

“Blue Silver Emperor A-Yin, I have come here today to give you a choice.”

"Submit to me, serve me as your master, and do my work."

"Or perhaps, death!"

Chapter 212 Ah Yin's Despair and Hope

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire mental space seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ah Yin's delicate body trembled violently, and an incredulous shock instantly surged into her azure eyes, which were then replaced by confusion and bitterness.

She knew very well that the boy in front of her had the power to kill her at will, and even if she rebuilt her soul, she would be nothing more than a fleeting glimmer of light in his eyes.

But she was not reconciled.

She wanted to see Tang Hao one more time and hold her child.

But reason ultimately prevailed over emotion.

She remembered clearly that if it weren't for the person in front of her taking her away from that dark and sunless cave...

If she were moved to a place like the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where she is nourished day and night, her remnant soul might have already dissipated into the world, without even the chance to see the light of day again.

It was the young man before her who gave her a second life.

After a long silence, Ah Yin gently closed her eyes. When she opened them again, all that remained in her eyes was a resigned acceptance of her fate.

"I am willing to submit to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and quickly added in a soft voice, her tone carrying a hint of humble expectation.

"But... I have a favor to ask."

"I hope... no matter what happens in the future, I won't have to be enemies with Tang Hao and his mistress."

"I still want to be reunited with them one day."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly smiled.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a hint of something indescribable.

However, since the other party was willing to submit so readily, Lu Yan didn't mind spending a little more time persuading him.

“Reunion?” Lu Yan repeated softly, his tone nonchalant. “Ah Yin, before you make a decision, let me tell you a story.”

"A story about you and your husband Tang Hao, who loves you deeply."

Ah Yin was slightly taken aback, but still nodded.

Lu Yan's gaze was calm as he slowly spoke, each word like the sharpest blade, gently dissecting the past that she had embellished countless times.

"You met and got to know Tang Hao, and you thought it was a destined match, but have you ever thought about it?"

"Clearly, you have already achieved perfect human form, and have even reached the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo."

"Why did the Spirit Hall's people specifically come knocking on your door when you were pregnant?"

"Why is it that the teams chasing you are able to pinpoint your location time and time again, until they force you to make a sacrifice?"

"Have you thought about it?" Lu Yan smiled, but his words were like daggers, piercing Ah Yin's heart and making her tremble.

"Did you tell Tang Hao that you are the Blue Silver Emperor?" As he said this, Lu Yan couldn't help but look at him with a hint of pity.

Meeting the wrong person or entrusting oneself to the wrong person is definitely one of the greatest tragedies in a woman's life.

Upon hearing Lu Yan's words, A Yin stood there stunned, only subconsciously replying, "Yes, I said so."

A-Yin had already guessed what Lu Yan was about to tell her next story.
