And now, her soul had crossed ten thousand years of time to arrive in this era from ten thousand years ago, an era said to have produced nine gods.
The First Generation Shrek Seven Devils had all become gods. Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall Empire had become the Rakshasa God. Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall Empire had become the Angel God.
In this era, the Sun Moon Empire did not yet exist, and the Sun Moon Continent had not yet collided with the Douluo Continent.
In this era, Soul Engineer technology had long since been lost.
This era was the golden age of Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent. In the ten thousand years following this era, no Deity had ever appeared again—at least, not until Ye Xishui died.
Only after a long while did Ye Xishui recover a trace of her own awareness from the overwhelming flood of information.
She looked at the youth before her, who claimed to be her master, and an indescribably complicated feeling rose within her.
Helplessness, absurdity, and that irresistible connection between her and Su Bai that came from the depths of her soul.
The feeling drove her mad.
She, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Xishui, the Death Douluo, actually felt an instinctive urge to obey a mere youth.
"Looks like you understand now."
Su Bai's leisurely voice rang out, breaking the silence in the room.
He walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water, completely ignoring the faint but dangerous aura around Ye Xishui.
Su Bai took a sip, a smile on his face, then spoke unhurriedly:
"You have already died once."
"All those grudges and entanglements from ten thousand years later have nothing to do with you anymore."
"Whether it is Long Xiaoyao or Mu En, they are both buried in the ground, reduced to dust in history."
"What you have now is a brand-new body and power stronger than what you possessed in life, aside from your Death Tower."
Su Bai returned to Ye Xishui's side, reached out, and gently stroked her cold cheek.
Ye Xishui's body tensed. She wanted to retreat, only to find that her feet felt as though they had been filled with lead.
The loyalty originating from the depths of her soul made her unable to perform any act of resistance.
"Abandon everything."
Su Bai's voice carried a bewitching power.
"Be mine, and let this Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago become truly lively!"
"Or perhaps I can give you a goal you longed for in life, yet could never reach."
Su Bai leaned close to her ear and uttered two words in a voice only they could hear.
"Becoming a God."
Those two words exploded through Ye Xishui's mind like thunder.
Becoming a God!
It was the ultimate dream of every Level 99 Limit Douluo!
She had spent her entire life without ever glimpsing that threshold, ultimately dying with regret.
And now, this mysterious youth before her had spoken those two words so casually.
"You..."
Ye Xishui's voice was somewhat dry.
"Who exactly are you? How could you know my past... How do you know Mu En and Long Xiaoyao..."
Ye Xishui could not understand.
The details of how she had been ambushed and killed could not possibly be known by anyone other than those involved and people connected to the events ten thousand years later.
"I told you, from today onward, I am your master."
Su Bai's fingers lightly slid along the contour of her cheek to her delicate chin, then gently lifted it.
"I know everything about you."
"I know all."
Su Bai's omniscient, omnipotent bearing completely shattered the last line of defense in Ye Xishui's heart.
A miraculous method of resurrection.
Time and space spanning ten thousand years.
An irresistible soul contract.
And the ultimate temptation of Becoming a God.
Did she still have a choice?
Perhaps following this unfathomable man truly was a new beginning.
A new beginning that would allow her to see a higher horizon.
Ye Xishui pressed her red lips tightly together, struggling fiercely within. The pride of a powerhouse made the words difficult for her to say.
Yet the mark deep within her soul urged her to make a choice.
Ye Xishui remained silent for a long time, and the room fell utterly quiet.
A soft murmur in Zhu Zhuqing's sleep came from the bed, breaking the silence.
Only then did Ye Xishui notice that a seductive young woman was lying on the large bed in the room.
The girl's bare, fragrant shoulder was exposed outside the blanket, and Su Bai's palm prints still remained on her skin.
Ye Xishui instantly understood.
When she looked at Su Bai again, her emotions became even more complicated.
At last, as though she had exhausted all her strength, Ye Xishui slowly lowered her proud head, and her taut body relaxed with it.
She knelt on one knee, like the most devout believer offering her loyalty to her god.
"Mas... Master."
Ye Xishui's voice was soft and trembled faintly, but Su Bai still heard it clearly.
"Very good."
Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.
He released Ye Xishui's chin and took a step back, looking down as he admired the peerless beauty who had submitted at his feet.
At that moment, the intense possessiveness in Su Bai's heart was satisfied as never before.
"Get up."
Su Bai spoke indifferently.
Ye Xishui rose to her feet, her curvaceous body concealed beneath the loose black robe.
She said nothing, merely standing there quietly with her head slightly lowered. Her purplish-red long hair covered half her face, making her expression impossible to see.
Her posture was one of complete submission.
Su Bai examined her.
This woman, who had once stirred the tides of an entire era, had now become a sword in his hand.
Yet this sword possessed two entirely opposing edges—one bright, one evil.
If she were to serve openly as his bodyguard, then it would be best to use the power of the Bright Phoenix, but...
Su Bai sank his thoughts into his mind.
"System, Ye Xishui's Bright Phoenix and Blood Soul Demon Puppet, her two Martial Souls, have powers that conflict with each other. Is there a way to resolve it?"
[Ding! Spend 10,000 Destiny Points to purchase the skill: Balance Curse Seal.] [Balance Curse Seal: Once applied, it can perfectly balance two or more conflicting powers within a target designated by the host.] [Note: After placing the Balance Curse Seal on Ye Xishui, she will be able to freely cultivate her Bright Phoenix Martial Soul, and her obsessive, extreme temperament will also be corrected.]
Correct her temperament?
Su Bai's heart stirred. That was an unexpected delight.
A Limit Douluo with a stable temperament was far more valuable than a madwoman driven by obsession.
Just as Su Bai was about to confirm the purchase, another notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Host demand detected. A limited-time bundle is now available!] [Spend 20,000 Destiny Points to add nine Spirit Rings to Ye Xishui's Bright Phoenix Martial Soul: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!]
Su Bai nearly laughed aloud.
The system truly knew how to do business.
A Limit Douluo with Twin Martial Souls, whose Second Martial Soul was also equipped with top-tier Spirit Rings.
One bright, one evil.
By day, she could be the gentle bodyguard at his side; by night, she could become the Holy Spirit Cult Master who ruled the darkness.
This was simply... far too interesting.
