Qian Gu Huang Yu was Qian Gu Die Ting's youngest child and only daughter. She had seven older brothers.

The eldest, Qian Gu Qing Feng, was only twelve this year. In other words, Qian Gu Die Ting had fathered eight children in six years.

What Bei Gong Li truly resented about Qian Gu Die Ting was his attitude toward relationships. He was exceedingly promiscuous; to him, women were nothing more than tools for bearing his descendants.

Though Qian Gu Shi Long had died young, he had devoted himself to Bei Gong Li alone during his lifetime. The two had shared a deep bond.

Seeing his mother bring up the matter again, Qian Gu Die Ting explained, "Mother, wasn't I doing this to further strengthen our family? Look, among my children, Qing Feng, Dong Feng, and Huang Yu all possess Innate Full Soul Power. Xiao Yu even has an Innate Domain. The other children all have Innate Soul Power of at least rank seven. If properly nurtured, they will surely become Titled Douluo in the future."

"You treat your children as tools?" Bei Gong Li snapped.

"It is mutual achievement. I spend enormous resources raising them. Isn't it only right for them to contribute to the family once they grow up?"

In Qian Gu Die Ting's view, with the talent of the continent's youngest Limit Douluo, as long as the women bearing his children were not utterly useless, the children's talents would naturally be guaranteed.

Among these children with assured talent, so long as they received excellent resources and he gambled on their chances of success, the Qian Gu Family's next generation would surely have worthy successors.

And among them was the unexpected delight of Qian Gu Huang Yu, who possessed an Innate Domain.

Bei Gong Li did not wish to argue further over this matter. Over the years, she and Qian Gu Die Ting had quarreled over it more times than she could count.

"Starting tomorrow, Xiao Yu will cultivate with me."

Though she spoke as if discussing it, the will behind her words was absolutely unquestionable.

"Mother, Xiao Yu is—"

Qian Gu Die Ting had just wanted to persuade her when Bei Gong Li domineeringly cut him off.

"My mind is made up. I cannot let my granddaughter become like you in the future."

Qian Gu Huang Yu's room.

She reverently held up the Holy Grail in both hands, anticipation shining in her wine-red eyes. Then... there was no then...

"I have absolutely no idea how to do this! How am I supposed to summon a Heroic Spirit?!"

As she complained, Miss Qian Gu Huang Yu slumped into her chair as though giving up on life, wearing a thoroughly lifeless expression.

Though she could theoretically perform Heroic Spirit Summoning now, Qian Gu Huang Yu still had not figured out exactly how to summon one.

The conditions were met, but she did not know the process...

Perhaps I should try it.

As Qian Gu Huang Yu pondered this, her wine-red eyes shifted slightly, and her delicate mind began turning once more.

Ever since transmigrating here, Qian Gu Huang Yu had gradually discovered that her body was different.

What normal human possessed Soul Power before awakening their Martial Soul? Unless she was not human.

Qian Gu Huang Yu had specifically searched through the Spirit Pagoda's records for this reason, but she had found no similar case.

The only thing I can confirm now is that I'm not human—or rather, not a pure-blooded human. But I'm not a pure-blooded soul beast either, or I should be able to produce soul rings on my own. No matter what, I should give it a try.

With that thought, Qian Gu Huang Yu casually took a dagger from the Gate of Babylon. A fierce gleam flashed through her beautiful eyes, and a trace of madness surfaced in her wine-red pupils.

"Scrape!" The piercing sound filled the small room. The luxurious, gem-encrusted dagger trembled slightly. Though its owner had exerted all her strength, she still could not push it forward by another inch.

The skin touched by the dagger's tip had already been covered in golden dragon scales.

The dragon scales were arranged with impeccable order, and an ancient, mysterious aura faintly emanated from them. Looking closely, one could even see flickers of electricity.

"!!!!!"

As expected...

Qian Gu Huang Yu's eyes were already filled with shock. She had not used Martial Soul Possession, which meant these dragon scales were her original skin.

Does that mean I'm a Ghidorah wearing human skin?

At the thought, a teasing smile appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's face. Who would have thought that she would inexplicably end up with a beginning similar to Tang Wulin's?

But my situation is far better than Tang Wulin's. Back then, Tang Wulin couldn't even afford a designated ten-year soul spirit, while I've started with an absolute god-tier hand!

Since that's the case, there's one more thing I need to test.

Dazzling golden dragon scales climbed over her delicate body. Her golden hair rose, and the sections on either side of it transformed into Ghidorah's vicious yet noble dragon heads.

Rose-gold claws extended from the fingers of her right hand, then slashed mercilessly toward the pinky finger of her left hand.

"Drip, drip."

Golden blood fell onto the polished floor. Her left pinky had been cut with a wound deep enough to expose bone, yet Qian Gu Huang Yu's pretty face was filled with delight.

"Hahaha!"

Her graceful body trembled slightly as Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed so hard she swayed like a flower in the wind. With no regard for her image, she grabbed the pillow from her bed and rubbed her fair little face against it again and again.

Ever since discovering that she possessed the Gate of Babylon, Qian Gu Huang Yu had never been this happy. She was even happier than when she had gained the Thunderclap Nether Vine as her first soul spirit.

She could clearly see the wound on her body healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

One last thing.

Deafening thunder erupted within the room as all energy madly rushed toward Qian Gu Huang Yu. Ghidorah's innate domain, Dragon Universe Star Hunting, had activated.

After activating Dragon Universe Star Hunting, the accelerated rate at which she absorbed energy noticeably hastened the healing of Qian Gu Huang Yu's wound.

That means I not only possess Ghidorah's Martial Soul, but also Ghidorah's bloodline. I have even inherited Ghidorah's traits as well.

In that case, I will possess not only lightning, but also the power of gravity—and perhaps even space and time—in the future!

As she imagined that wonderful future, Qian Gu Huang Yu's mood became even brighter.

Just as Miss Qian Gu Huang Yu was immersed in her beautiful fantasies of the future, Qian Gu Qing Feng had also determined his own goal and direction.

The next day.

"Grandmother, I was wrong! I'll definitely cultivate properly from now on, please spare me!"

Qian Gu Huang Yu trembled beneath the pressure of Bei Gong Li's Limit Douluo aura. All the pride and arrogance she had shown yesterday had vanished.

The cause of this was that when Bei Gong Li entered Qian Gu Huang Yu's room that morning, she discovered that Qian Gu Huang Yu was not cultivating diligently at all. Instead, she was hugging her blanket and sleeping soundly, occasionally mumbling a few words in her dreams.

This made Bei Gong Li even angrier. How much hope had she placed upon Qian Gu Huang Yu? After awakening her Martial Soul, shouldn't this girl have been too excited to sleep and cultivated through the entire night?

If Bei Gong Li had not come, who knew how long she would have slept!

What a waste of such rare talent, seen only once in ten thousand years, and such precious youth!
