Inside the awakening chamber, the two Limit Douluo watched Qian Gu Huang Yu closely—or rather, her Ghidorah Martial Soul.

After all, it had announced its existence to the entire planet the moment her Martial Soul awakened!

Coupled with the apocalyptic phenomenon of black clouds pressing down upon the city and Thunder Roars Through the Sky during her Martial Soul Awakening, everything proved that Qian Gu Huang Yu's Ghidorah was something extraordinary.

Never in history had anyone caused such a commotion upon awakening their Martial Soul.

Not even the Tang Sect's founder, Sea God Tang San, or the Spirit Pagoda's progenitor, Emotion God Huo Yuhao!

"Did it undergo a beneficial mutation based on my Martial Soul?" After confirming that no such Martial Soul had ever appeared in history, Bei Gong Li once again confirmed her suspicion.

Bei Gong Li asked, "Xiao Yu, do you know what your Martial Soul is called?"

"Ghidorah." Qian Gu Huang Yu ultimately decided to name it according to her memories from her previous life.

"Alright, then we'll register it as Ghidorah," Bei Gong Li said.

Whenever a completely unprecedented Martial Soul was born, it had to undergo a series of tests and registrations. Qian Gu Huang Yu could only follow the rules and cooperate with the complicated procedure.

It was roughly things like the Martial Soul's name, attributes and abilities, whether a mutation template could be found, what it had been before mutating, and so on...

Once everything had been registered, just as Qian Gu Huang Yu thought it was all over, Qian Gu Die Ting suddenly asked a very pointed question.

"Xiao Yu, what was that ability that devoured my Soul Power at the start of your Martial Soul Awakening?"

Here it comes.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's heart instantly leaped into her throat. This was an era when merely possessing a dark attribute could easily make people think one was an Evil Soul Master.

An ability that devoured Soul Power, or even life force, was unquestionably the hallmark of an Evil Soul Master.

But Qian Gu Huang Yu was helpless too! Her Martial Soul was Ghidorah, so how could it not have devouring abilities?

I wonder whether the Qian Gu Family and the Holy Spirit Cult have begun working together yet. I hope their attitude toward Evil Martial Souls is a little better. If they send me to the Holy Spirit Cult to be raised, that would truly be hell.

Still, she had to face it. Qian Gu Huang Yu took a deep breath and said, "This is Ghidorah's Innate Domain, Dragon Universe Star Hunting."

Qian Gu Huang Yu noticed that the instant she finished speaking, before she had even explained its effects, the expressions in Qian Gu Die Ting's and Bei Gong Li's eyes changed.

It was joy from the bottom of their hearts, even greater than Bei Gong Li's surprise when she discovered that Qian Gu Huang Yu had inherited her Martial Soul.

Even though the times had progressed, and Three-word Battle Armor could grant its wearer a domain, Soul Masters who could release domains without using Battle Armor were still few and far between. Those who possessed a domain at the time of Martial Soul Awakening were even rarer, with perhaps not even one appearing in several thousand years!

Tracing further back, during the Spirit Hall era Twenty Thousand Years Ago, the Pope's lineage were descendants of the Angel God. Benefiting from their ancestors' legacy, their Six-winged Angel Martial Soul not only possessed Innate Level 20 Full Soul Power, but also an Innate Domain—the Angel Domain!

But after Qian Ren Xue's godhood was shattered, the Angel lineage lost its former glory as well.

In recent years, the most famous Soul Master to possess an Innate Domain had been the Underworld King Douluo, Ha Luosa!

He broke through to become a Titled Douluo at nineteen and a Super Douluo at twenty-five. He could be called an unparalleled genius who had suppressed an entire era!

Qian Gu Die Ting's gaze inevitably grew fervent. He looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu as though she were a priceless treasure. As long as Soul Masters with Innate Domains did not die young, they would almost certainly become Limit Douluo, and without exception, they would stand at the peak of the continent!

At that thought, Qian Gu Die Ting felt that the devouring ability no longer mattered. So what if she was an Evil Soul Master? He could still raise his daughter into a Limit Douluo!

Bei Gong Li glanced at her son, who was already overjoyed, then coughed and said, "Xiao Yu, tell us what abilities your domain has. No, just use it directly."

Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded. The two dragon heads in her long hair let out dragon roars in unison. At the same time, golden lightning spread outward from her body, only stopping once it reached a diameter of ten meters.

Fortunately, the awakening chamber was large enough. Otherwise, it would not have been able to contain Dragon Universe Star Hunting.

Every inch of space within Qian Gu Huang Yu's domain was filled with rampaging lightning. Even more terrifyingly, the energy and life force within the domain were being absorbed at a visible rate, then fed back to Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Of course, due to the vast gap in cultivation, Qian Gu Die Ting and Bei Gong Li were naturally unaffected by Dragon Universe Star Hunting.

Qian Gu Huang Yu narrowed her eyes. The energy absorbed by Dragon Universe Star Hunting would be converted into Soul Power and fed back to her. As for life force, that was even simpler—there was hardly any life on Douluo Star that disliked life force.

Yet Qian Gu Huang Yu felt a sense of fullness, as though... she was about to be filled up?

That makes sense. I don't have a Soul Ring yet, so Level 10 is the limit.

Bei Gong Li and Qian Gu Die Ting also revealed thoughtful expressions.

Absorbing energy and life force... would it be effective against the Abyss? Once Xiao Yu grows stronger, we should let her try. If she can solve the Abyss problem, the Federation will no longer have to lose people. It would also give an answer to the martyrs who died protecting humanity.

With the Qian Gu Family's current status and influence, if Xiao Yu can truly resolve the Abyss problem, she will gain unparalleled prestige. With both combined, the Federation will be within our grasp.

At that thought, a glimmer of hope rose in both their hearts.

Bei Gong Li came from a commoner background. Because her Martial Soul restrained Evil Soul Masters and Abyssal Plane creatures, she had spent years fighting on the front lines against Evil Soul Masters and the Abyssal Plane. Qian Gu Die Ting, meanwhile, was a standard second-generation Soul Master, raised from childhood on his family's training and values. Naturally, their starting points when considering matters differed.

Shouldn't Base Shining Shining's most iconic ability be the Gravity Ray? Where is my gravity manipulation? Why did it become lightning?

Qian Gu Huang Yu silently complained about why her Ghidorah had only the appearance while its abilities did not match. Then, after recalling the difference between her Ghidorah and traditional Ghidorah, a wail rang out in her heart.

Wait, could mine be Legendary Ghidorah?

The species was correct, but the version was wrong.

Seeing that Qian Gu Die Ting and Bei Gong Li had no intention of paying attention to her, Qian Gu Huang Yu rose onto her tiptoes and timidly asked, "Father, Grandma, does this make me an Evil Soul Master?"

"Of course not!" Qian Gu Die Ting immediately said. "How could my daughter, Qian Gu Die Ting's daughter, possibly be an Evil Soul Master? Whoever dares slander you as an Evil Soul Master, I'll beat him into an Evil Soul Master!"

Bei Gong Li added, "A Martial Soul is righteous when used righteously and evil when used evilly. Xiao Yu, Martial Souls themselves are not divided into good and evil. What matters is the Soul Master. As long as you do not betray your heart, that is enough."

Good and evil are judged by the strong, and we are the strong. If we say you are righteous, then you are righteous. If we say you are evil, then you must be evil.

Bei Gong Li silently added that last sentence in her heart.
