The two spirit rings settled around Qian Renxin, ready to solidify.

Yet he did not absorb them. Instead, he spoke to the assessment screen.

"Your Majesties, may I set this reward aside for now?"

He knew that the deities of the God Realm could observe their inheritors in the lower realm.

For the moment, he did not want to absorb spirit rings.

It would be best to make up for the God-bestowed Spirit Rings later, once his Soul Power Level had increased.

After all, he had three Martial Souls. If his Soul Power stagnated, he would only need to add spirit rings to one Martial Soul.

Once his physical constitution improved, he could fill the spirit ring slots of his other two Martial Souls.

By then, for God-bestowed Spirit Rings like these, he would at least want ones at the level of several hundred thousand years. Absorbing them now would be a waste—perhaps even a loss.

Within the God Realm,

the God of Good and the God of Evil exchanged a glance.

What could they do? They had to spoil the inheritor they had chosen.

Besides, his request was not excessive.

They naturally understood Qian Renxin's little scheme.

They also hoped that their inheritor could become stronger.

What did it matter if they expended a little more divine power?

The power required to condense a million-year spirit ring was far less than what it took to create a third-rank god position.

The God Realm could afford such a small expense.

After all, Qian Renxin would become the leader of the God Realm in the future. Paying a little more was more than worth it.

Thus, they raised their hands and retrieved the two God-bestowed Spirit Rings.

After the two God-bestowed Spirit Rings were taken back,

the golden screen carrying the Deity Assessment updated.

Second Assessment of Good: Before the age of fourteen, attain the strength of a Spirit King and raise Good Origin Affinity to 30. Second Assessment of Evil: Before the age of fourteen, attain the strength of a Spirit King and raise Evil Origin Affinity to 30.

"Fourteen? Spirit King?"

Qian Renxin raised an eyebrow.

Was this assessment looking down on him?

He was only six years old. He still had eight years until he turned fourteen, yet he already possessed Level Thirty Soul Elder Soul Power.

With Innate Level Thirty cultivation talent, the aid of Immortal Herbs, and eight years to raise his Soul Power by twenty levels,

even considering that he might need to cultivate several ultimate powers, this assessment was still far too easy.

That was not even counting the help of soul bones and other factors.

"Perhaps it is precisely because this assessment is so easy that they added extra conditions afterward."

Qian Renxin shifted his attention to the latter part of the assessment.

He had already initially grasped the Power of Good Origin and the Power of Evil Origin.

However, he was still far from being able to truly wield Origin Power at the level of a God King.

Only by continuously nurturing his affinity with the Origin Powers could the strength of the Origin Power he used steadily increase.

His current Origin Affinity was only ten, placing him at the stage of initial mastery.

With the purpose of this trip accomplished,

Qian Renxin did not linger any longer and headed to the secluded cultivation grounds of the three elders.

They were still absorbing the medicinal power and had yet to emerge completely from seclusion.

After all, not everyone could be like him and directly refine and freely absorb two different powers.

Even Titled Douluo had to be cautious when absorbing Immortal Herbs. A single mistake could cause problems, and it would take at least several days.

With nothing else to do,

Qian Renxin wandered around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

When he arrived beside the wooden hut where Dugu Bo was cultivating in seclusion,

he saw a ponytailed girl with azure-blue hair sitting beside the hut, boredly using pebbles to strike the river's surface.

The girl had sweet features, but her personality seemed somewhat spoiled and willful. There was even a hint of anger in her eyes.

Qian Renxin grew curious. He took a few steps forward and heard her muttering.

"Bad Grandpa. You promised to play with me, but you went into seclusion again..."

As she spoke, the girl picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it toward the center of the lake, stirring up a few ripples.

The moment she looked up,

the girl spotted him and asked curiously,

"Hey, how did you get into my grandpa's secluded cultivation grounds? If you wandered in by mistake, hurry up and leave. My grandpa has a terrible temper!"

"First, my name is not 'Hey.'"

"Second, Senior Poison has already traded this place to me. Strictly speaking, this is my territory."

Qian Renxin became interested. "You're his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, right?"

As he spoke, he walked closer.

How could he come to Douluo Continent without taking in beautiful women?

Dugu Yan had not had much presence in his past life, but her appearance was quite outstanding. Her only real flaw was her spoiled young lady temperament.

But that was also an advantage.

After all, no matter how willful a woman was, she would eventually soften. That sense of conquest was one of the pleasures.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My grandpa is a Guest Elder of the Heaven Dou Empire. How could he possibly make a deal with you?"

Dugu Yan looked at Qian Renxin suspiciously.

In her eyes, Qian Renxin was at most eleven or twelve years old. What ability could he possibly have to make a deal with her all-powerful grandfather?

But she did not know

that his appearance of an eleven- or twelve-year-old had come from the enhancement of Soul Power and Immortal Herbs, which had greatly increased his physique. In reality, they were only two years apart.

Accompanying Dugu Yan, the Elders Emerge from Seclusion

Qian Renxin did not explain much. He took out a token from his person.

"This is proof of my identity. I wonder whether it outranks a Heaven Dou Guest Elder?"

Dugu Yan took one look, and her expression froze.

Born into a prominent family, she was rather knowledgeable and immediately recognized that the token came from Spirit Hall.

Although Bibi Dong had not yet taken the throne, Spirit Hall's prestige had already begun spreading across the continent.

After all, Qian Xunji was a pope with immense ambition. During his tenure, he had already begun implementing certain iron-fisted policies.

For instance, all unaffiliated Titled Douluo were required to join Spirit Hall.

It was precisely this rule that caused Dugu Bo to become enemies with Spirit Hall.

As his granddaughter, Dugu Yan had naturally heard of it as well.

Her limbs went stiff. She scrambled to the front of the wooden hut and hammered desperately on the door.

"Grandpa, come out! Spirit Hall is here! Run..."

Inside the hut, Dugu Bo was consolidating his Soul Core. Hearing Dugu Yan's plea for help, he opened his eyes, sent out his spiritual power to investigate, and laughed.

"My young friend, This Old Man will be in seclusion for several days. I'll have to trouble you to look after my granddaughter."

"Leave her to me, Senior. Cultivate in seclusion without worry," Qian Renxin replied.

"Thank you."

After expressing his thanks, he closed his eyes again and continued consolidating his Soul Core.

With Qian Renxin's character, nothing should happen to Dugu Yan.

He was not worried that his precious granddaughter would be lured away by Qian Renxin.

Girls had to marry eventually.

Whether it was his background, talent, personality, or appearance, Qian Renxin was exceptional. Compared to him, it was his granddaughter who seemed somewhat unworthy.

It's over... Grandpa doesn't want me anymore...

Standing before the door, Dugu Yan thought despairingly as grievance welled up in her heart.

Qian Renxin smiled as he approached, wearing the expression of someone who knew that no matter how loudly she screamed, no one would answer.

Five days later,

the two woke up together in the inn where they were staying.

The moment Dugu Yan got up, she hugged Qian Renxin. "Brother Xin, play with me for one more day. I still want to ride that spinning bull-horse."

"No, we need to return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first. Your grandpa is still cultivating in seclusion there."

Qian Renxin patted her little head and answered with a smile.

He had merely been bored, so he had accompanied Dugu Yan around the town for a few days.

Children were always easy to coax.

Of course, she was still too young for him to make a move. He would definitely have to wait until she was an adult, and they had stayed in a two-person room.

"I don't want to care about him. All he knows is cultivation in seclusion! He doesn't care about me at all..."

Dugu Yan turned away with puffed cheeks, clearly still angry.

But harsh words were only harsh words.

She still cared deeply about her only remaining family.

The early deaths of her parents had dealt her a heavy blow, and only her grandfather remained.

The two companions returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once more.

Not long after they entered,

an alluringly handsome man rushed toward them. He looked incomparably radiant, draped in an orange-gold robe, with long golden hair falling to his waist.

Qian Renxin was genuinely startled.

If he had not known that the man before him was truly a man, he might have mistaken him for some peerless beauty.

Having finished absorbing the Immortal Herb, Yue Guan looked invigorated as he knelt before Qian Renxin.

"Young Master, I have absorbed all the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb and have come to report back!"

"Elder Ju, it seems your Martial Soul has evolved. Congratulations."

Qian Renxin smiled.

Yue Guan's changes were clearly a Martial Soul Evolution, just like Ma Hongjun's phoenix Martial Soul evolution and Tang San's awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor.

"It is all thanks to the Immortal Herb the Young Master gave me," Yue Guan said honestly.

"Wow, Auntie, you're so pretty."

Dugu Yan said in surprise from beside him.

It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful woman.

Qian Renxin's expression turned somewhat awkward, unsure whether he should tell her the truth.
