After Yun Chuan stepped down from the carriage, he looked at the many villagers kneeling before him. His flawless, exquisitely handsome face immediately revealed an expression of compassion, as though an angel descending into the mortal world had witnessed the suffering of humanity.

"Everyone... please rise!"

Yun Chuan's voice was gentle, as though it carried an inspiring charm. It was like a warm spring that cleansed the heart and nourished the souls of everyone present.

Everyone instinctively rose to their feet. It was entirely unconscious—their bodies reacted before their minds did. Their instincts told them that the person before them was absolutely trustworthy and would never harm them.

This was undoubtedly the effect of his maxed-out charm, allowing Yun Chuan to inspire a hundred responses with a single call wherever he went. With that face alone, if he betrayed Spirit Hall and founded a Yun Chuan Sect of his own, he might truly have been able to replace Spirit Hall and become the number one sect on the Douluo Continent!

It was precisely because Spirit Hall understood how devastatingly effective that face was that they had named him their Saint Child, even treating him as the public face of Spirit Hall.

Of course, aside from his face, the abilities of Yun Chuan's spirit were also crucial.

Plant Master—Life Goddess!

This was the spirit he publicly advertised as the Spirit Hall Saint Child, said to possess the power to redeem the world.

In truth, it was simply his Plant Goddess Spirit with a different name. Over the years, Yun Chuan had gradually discovered other uses for this spirit, and he felt that the name Plant Goddess no longer suited it. Thus, he had renamed it Plant Master—Life Goddess!

Not only did this name summarize the spirit's characteristics, but it also sounded incredibly lofty and impressive!

Plant Master! Life Goddess!

A master and a goddess—though others might not know what this spirit actually did, merely hearing the name made it seem unfathomably powerful. Compared to things like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the Clear Sky Hammer, or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it sounded far more grand and prestigious.

Watching everyone rise, Yun Chuan nodded in satisfaction. Having been born in an era of equality and peace, what he hated most was people kneeling at the slightest provocation.

"Everyone, I'll treat you now."

Yun Chuan crossed his hands before his chest in a strange gesture. His thumbs clasped together, his index fingers touched, while his other six fingers spread out to either side, making him look like a Six-Winged Angel spreading its wings... Then, soft white light began to bloom across his body, gradually condensing behind him into a pair of enormous snow-white wings!

At that moment, he looked like an angel descending into the world to save its people.

The pure white wings gently fluttered, scattering warm white light that shone upon the soul. Beautiful, sacred radiance filled the world~

The villagers gathered from every direction bathed in that holy radiance and slowly closed their eyes without realizing it, silently beginning to pray. They felt the fear and unease in their hearts completely disperse beneath the sacred light! Smiles unconsciously appeared on their faces as memories of all the happy moments in their lives surfaced in their minds...

At that moment, Yun Chuan, who had initially closed his eyes, slowly opened them. Looking at the crowd immersed in the holy light, a thought crossed his mind. Immediately, vibrant emerald light filled with life emerged above and behind him, and a Plant Goddess holding Blue Silver Grass appeared.

Oh, no. She should be called the Life Goddess now.

Under Yun Chuan's control, the Life Goddess Spirit gently waved the Blue Silver Grass in her hand. Specks of emerald light scattered forth, continuously falling into the bodies of the praying crowd along with the snow-white holy light. It replenished their lost blood and restored their depleted vitality.

Their originally deathly pale faces gradually turned rosy, while their emaciated bodies slowly filled out... Their appearances, which had made them seem gravely ill and near death, began to rapidly recover under the nourishment of this purest vitality.

This was how Yun Chuan had learned to use the Life Goddess Spirit over the past few years. It was simple enough: he absorbed the most fundamental vitality within plants and stored it inside the Life Goddess Spirit. Whenever he needed it, he could draw upon it at any time.

Ever since discovering this ability of the Life Goddess, Yun Chuan no longer needed medicinal baths after training. He only had to use the vitality stored in advance within the Life Goddess Spirit to perfectly heal the injuries sustained through training. The effect was even better than a medicinal bath, and the recovery speed was faster as well.

The vitality he absorbed from plants was the most fundamental life force of living beings. Its applications were extremely broad. Not only could it heal injuries, it could regenerate severed limbs and even extend one's lifespan... After all, everyone possessed vitality, and the amount of vitality one had determined how long one could live. People aged and died only because their vitality had been exhausted.

As long as vitality could be replenished in time, one could return to youth. In theory, Yun Chuan could already achieve immortality through this ability—and even grant immortality to others.

Therefore, Yun Chuan had never revealed that this ability could restore youth and extend one's lifespan. He only claimed publicly that it could heal injuries and replenish one's deficiencies.

After all, the ability to extend one's lifespan was simply too tempting to others. Countless soul masters were unable to break through to higher realms because their lifespans were nearing their end or because they had grown too old.

If people learned that he possessed such an ability... it would definitely not be a good thing for Yun Chuan. Unless he possessed the strength to suppress all opposition, it was better not to expose such a heaven-defying ability.

So far, Yun Chuan had only told the three people he trusted most about this ability: the Female Pope, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena.

A moment later.

After injecting enough vitality into the several hundred people present to make up for their deficiencies, the goddess behind Yun Chuan, who had been holding Blue Silver Grass and scattering life force, gradually stopped moving. Her body slowly dimmed before finally turning into a ray of light and returning to his body.

At the same time, the pair of snow-white wings behind Yun Chuan gradually faded before vanishing. The holy light filling the sky likewise disappeared along with the wings.

In truth, those wings were formed from pure light. They could not fly and merely looked beautiful.

Over these six years, Yun Chuan had achieved preliminary results in developing and applying the abilities of his two spirits. These holy light wings were an unconventional application of the light attribute among the four attributes of the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer.

This move was called—Holy Light Illumination!

It had no offensive power, but it could dispel people's negative emotions. This holy light affected only the human mind, soothing it and dispelling the shadows within one's heart. It was truly an essential ability for preaching and playing the role of a divine charlatan to fool people.

By this world's standards, this move also counted as a Self-Created Soul Skill.

And over these six years, Yun Chuan had developed many similar Self-Created Soul Skills, all of them applications of the abilities of his two spirits.
