Inside the sky screen.

Leng Yaozhu glanced at the two Soul Spirits with a hint of pity.

Su Tianxuan seemed easy to talk to, but at heart he was a stubborn bull. Once he truly decided to do something, even the entire Federation tied together couldn't pull him back.

More terrifying still, he really did have the power to stand against the entire Federation.

Looking at the two haughty Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirits, Su Tianxuan held the Time Blade in his arms and placed his fingers against its blade, as though playing a zither.

Nine blood-red Soul Rings slowly rose, and the pressure of a quasi-god emerged:

"I'll ask one more time. Are you willing to become their Soul Spirits?"

His voice went from teasing to cold.

The Divine Pegasus and the Daylight Divine Bird froze.

Even from Qiangu Dongfeng, the master of the Spirit Pagoda, they had never felt such pressure.

But could this make them submit?

Never!

They were proud Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

At worst, they would die!

The Daylight Divine Bird sneered:

"A warrior may be killed but never humiliated. Death is..."

Before it could finish, Su Tianxuan made his move.

He lightly plucked the blade with his fingers, sending ripples across its waterlike length.

Water-colored waves surged out, rushing toward the two Soul Spirits and beyond the sky screen.

Three years ago, Su Tianxuan had conducted an interesting experiment.

The future held infinite possibilities, which meant there were infinite ways to die.

Faced with death once, a brave person could be fearless.

But what if they experienced it an infinite number of times?

How many people could remain brave then?

And so, he came up with a torturous idea:

He would use the Time Law to let people foresee the future and witness a multitude of possible deaths awaiting them, all in a short time.

You might not fear dying once, but what about countless times?

As for the result of that experiment...

In any case, even the most unyielding prisoner in the Federation's prisons couldn't last a second.

The Divine Pegasus and the Daylight Divine Bird smiled scornfully, closed their eyes, and calmly awaited death.

In their eyes, Su Tianxuan had undoubtedly flown into a rage out of humiliation and intended to kill them.

As the waves entered its body, the Divine Pegasus felt its spirit body being shattered. It could distinctly sense the pain of every break, and its consciousness gradually fell silent.

So much for a Limit Douluo...

But before it could finish its "last words," its consciousness suddenly returned.

It was stunned to find that its spirit body had recovered, but it was convulsing nonstop, as though afflicted by some potent poison.

A bizarre toxin surged through it, and it couldn't stop itself from screaming until its consciousness fell silent once more, only to awaken again...

In that brief instant, countless deaths played out in turn within their spiritual worlds.

Beaten to death, poisoned to death, their consciousnesses withering away, fed to other Soul Spirits...

Every death was so painful, and every bit of pain was so real.

In the end, their consciousnesses were on the verge of being drowned beneath those countless endings. They had even nearly forgotten who they were.

Just then, their consciousnesses returned to normal, but what followed was not a future of death.

A brand-new scene appeared in their minds:

It was a future in which, after becoming Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi's Soul Spirits, they followed the two women to godhood and gained eternal life.

The vision of the future ended. The Divine Pegasus and the Daylight Divine Bird opened their eyes and looked at Su Tianxuan, full of exhaustion and fear.

Holding the shimmering blade in his arms, Su Tianxuan said calmly:

"Choose. Which future do you want?"

Outside the sky screen.

Since the camera was facing Su Tianxuan and the others, the strange wave of water naturally struck the sky screen as well.

Unlike yesterday, Su Tianxuan's "blessing" this time targeted consciousness.

Qian Daoliu, who had arrived in Nuoding City, shuddered. He saw himself swallowed by golden divine fire and felt himself merging into the Angel God Statue bit by bit.

At Shrek Academy, Mu En let out a muffled groan. He saw his soul gradually decaying within the Golden Ancient Tree before being devoured by a green vine.

A glimpse of one possible future.

This "blessing" from the future allowed everyone to glimpse and experience one possible ending in advance.

Fortunately, separated by the sky screen, they hadn't fallen into a cycle of death like the two Soul Spirits. They had merely caught a brief glimpse of the future.

But between life and death lay great terror. Even though they had seen only a little, they had been caught off guard, and not even Limit Douluo could break free immediately.

Tang San, who had died once before, saw himself walking toward another Broken Soul Cliff.

As for Yu Xiaogang, he saw himself passing away peacefully in the arms of a burly man covered in muscle, with a scruffy beard. The embrace was warm.

The core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"What a powerful human."

Di Tian took a deep breath, the first to break free from the vision of the future.

That was not only because he was powerful, but also because that future was too fake.

The moment he saw himself being made into a spaceship, he snapped awake.

Wasn't it obviously fake at a glance?

And it had tried to fool him...

Wait!

What the heck was a spaceship!?

Di Tian abruptly realized there was a very serious problem.

"Di Tian, those Soul Spirits seem to have something to do with our Soul Beast Clan. Go find out what they are."

Gu Yuena's voice rang out, sounding somewhat tired.

Di Tian could only set aside his doubts for the moment and hasten to accept the order.

But he didn't know how to investigate, either.

Soul Spirits didn't exist in this era. Surely he couldn't go to the future too? He didn't even know whether the sky screen would let Soul Beasts go to the future.

As he was racking his brains, Bi Ji's voice sounded at just the right time. She pointed at the Divine Pegasus and said:

"That pegasus looks a little like the one in the northeast."

Only when he heard her say that did Di Tian notice that the Divine Pegasus on the sky screen looked somewhat similar to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Divine Pegasus living in the northeastern part of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He fell silent, a faint, ominous premonition rising in his heart.

"Have it come see me. No, we'll go over there!"

Inside the sky screen, the two powerful Soul Spirits couldn't help trembling at Su Tianxuan's words. In the end, both silently lowered their heads:

"I'm willing to become their Soul Spirit."

Before those infinite deaths, their pride wasn't worth mentioning.

Not to mention that there was also a path to godhood that reached the heavens.

Anyone with a brain knew what to choose.

What they didn't know, however, was that Su Tianxuan had made up that beautiful future at the end...

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner? You just had to suffer a little."

Su Tianxuan put away the Time Blade and yawned indifferently.

He walked over to Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi, sensed the spiritual power flowing from them, and nodded slightly.

The Spirit Dew Flower had worked quite well. Both angels' spiritual power seemed to have improved considerably.

Although it hadn't risen to the Spirit Abyss Realm, it had at least stabilized at the middle level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Moreover, with the spiritual herb strengthening their Spiritual Origins, and a suitable method of cultivating spiritual power, they should have no trouble reaching the Spirit Abyss Realm in the future.

After a little while longer, Ye Guyi was the first to wake up.

With her foundation as a Soul Engineer, she had trained her spiritual power to some extent.

So although her Martial Soul couldn't compare to Qian Renxue's, her spiritual power was considerably better.

"You're awake. Then you can go first. Come on, pick whichever one you like."
