Golden Ranking's Fourth Place, Tang San?! Ah Yin Revived, Grace of Rebirth!!

The little princess's wild imagination drew smiles from Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan beside her.

Xue Qinghe stood to one side, maintaining a humble smile throughout, yet his gaze repeatedly fell upon the man lounging on the Blue Silver Emperor throne.

His heart, too, was in turmoil.

He knew Bibi Dong's strength better than anyone.

Twin Martial Souls, inheritor of the Rakshasa God.

And yet such an existence ranked only fifth on the Talent Ranking?

Then what kind of monsters were those ahead of her...?

He glanced at Gu Nian.

Blue Silver God King.

This man would definitely be one of them.

Xue Qinghe was certain of it.

At the same time, a thought surfaced beyond his control.

Given that woman's character, she was probably already plotting how to kill all four people ranked above her and seize their rewards, wasn't she?

A trace of mockery and disgust flashed through Xue Qinghe's eyes.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, a sudden change erupted at the heart of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

"Hummm—!"

An unstoppable Life Aura rose from the center of the spring like an awakening giant dragon.

In an instant, dazzling blue radiance surged outward from the spring in all directions!

The entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, along with the surrounding valley, was completely enveloped by the vast blue light.

The air was filled with the fragrance of vegetation and dense vitality.

"This is..."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's expressions changed.

Xue Ke and Xue Qinghe also stared at the source of the blue light in astonishment.

Only Gu Nian remained seated steadily upon the throne, his expression unchanged.

He rose to his feet and said calmly,

"Let's go take a look."

As his words fell, he took a single step, and his figure instantly appeared beside the spring.

The three women and Xue Qinghe hurried after him.

When they reached the spring and saw the scene before them, even though they had been prepared, they could not help holding their breath.

At the center of the blue light, a figure floated silently above the spring water.

It was a woman.

She was naked, without a stitch of clothing.

Yet countless Blue Silver Grass vines glowing with a faint blue light gently curled around her body, concealing the vital parts while lending her an added air of mystery and sanctity.

Her beauty was beyond anything mortal.

Her skin was whiter than snow, smooth as jade, and her exquisite features seemed like the most perfect creation of the heavens.

A cascade of azure hair hung down like a galaxy, drifting softly within the halo of light.

It was the ultimate beauty of life—pure, gentle, and touched with the nobility of an Emperor.

She was none other than Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, whose body had been remade and who had been completely revived.

The next moment, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

What kind of eyes were they?

Clear and pure, as though they contained an entire sky and ocean.

Her consciousness was returning, and memories from her previous life surged in like a tide.

Sacrifice, Tang Hao, Tang San...

Scene after scene flashed through her mind, yet none stirred much emotion within her.

This new body, this new soul, had both originated from the man before her.

Before his God King Origin, she could sense an irresistible submission and reverence arising from the deepest reaches of her bloodline.

When she thought of Tang Hao, the man for whom she had once sacrificed herself, his face now seemed blurred, and not a trace of attachment remained in her heart.

Only for that child, Tang San, did she still retain a faint thought born from a mother's instinct.

But that was all.

Rebirth meant severing the past.

Ah Yin's gaze fell upon Gu Nian.

She slowly descended from mid-air, while the Blue Silver Grass around her naturally wove itself into a fitted blue gown.

Then, before everyone's astonished eyes, this former Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Emperor respectfully dropped to both knees before Gu Nian.

"Ah Yin thanks Master for the Grace of Rebirth."

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a mountain spring trickling over stones.

Gu Nian looked at her and spoke calmly.

"Rise."

"Your current state is still far from its best. Your martial soul also has the potential to advance further."

At his words, Ah Yin slowly rose, deep shock appearing on her peerlessly beautiful face.

The Blue Silver Emperor... could still advance further?

She was already the pinnacle of the Blue Silver Grass clan, the Emperor of all Blue Silver Grass.

What lay beyond that?

Yet the thought flashed through her mind only briefly before she accepted it.

The one before her was the Blue Silver God King.

The god of all Blue Silver Grass.

If a god said she could, then she could.

"Ah Yin is foolish. Please instruct me, Master."

She lowered her head, humbling herself greatly.

Gu Nian nodded slightly, about to begin arranging Ah Yin's evolution.

But just then—

Boom!

High above the nine heavens, Storm Brewing Again!

The Sky Screen Golden Ranking, which had fallen silent for a brief moment, once again burst forth with radiant golden light, more brilliant than ever before!

Everyone's attention was drawn back to it.

Ancient, majestic characters slowly gathered and took shape within the golden light.

[Talent Ranking... Fourth Place!]

[Tang San!]

The instant those two ancient golden words froze upon the Sky Screen.

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the newly reborn peerless beauty's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

Ah Yin.

A complicated emotion flashed through her azure eyes.

Tang San...

That was the name of her child in her memories.

Though rebirth had severed most of her old emotions, that thread of instinctive maternal connection still caused ripples to rise in her heart.

Yet those ripples were quickly replaced by a far greater confusion.

Fourth on the Talent Ranking?

Her child actually possessed such talent?

She instinctively looked up at the man who had granted her rebirth.

However, Gu Nian was not looking at the Sky Screen. He had not even noticed the change in her expression.

His gaze rested calmly on Ah Yin.

"Distraction is a great taboo."

Gu Nian spoke lightly. His voice was not loud, yet it seemed to contain the supreme truths of Heaven and Earth, every syllable striking the Depths of the Soul.

"Your path has only just begun."

Before his words had faded, he extended a finger. At its tip, a speck of incomparably pure Blue Gold light quietly condensed.

Within that speck of light, there seemed to be a complete world, filled with the supreme mysteries of life, creation, and Destruction.

"Watch carefully."

Gu Nian flicked his finger.

The Blue Gold speck became a streak of light and silently entered Ah Yin's brow.

"Boom!"

Within Ah Yin's sea of consciousness, it was as if the universe had just been born and chaos had exploded apart!

Endless comprehensions surged wildly into her mind like a breached river of stars.

They were the most fundamental Laws of Blue Silver Grass, the supreme stairway that transcended the Emperor and led toward Deity!

"Mm..."

Ah Yin let out a soft moan as blue light blazed around her.

Behind her, the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul emerged uncontrollably.

The originally crystalline blue vines began transforming toward an even deeper, more noble shade of Blue Gold!
