Million Year Spirit Beast, Blue Silver Emperor!

Douluo Continent.

By the Lake of Life, in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

This place had long ceased to be a forbidden zone that ordinary Spirit Beasts dared to enter. It had become a pure Blue Silver Domain.

Clumps of Blue Silver Grass—no, they should have been called Blue Silver Emperors—had crystal-clear vines and leaves glittering with fine golden patterns. Like the most devout believers, they bowed and worshipped in the same direction.

At the center of that domain sat a figure cross-legged.

The man wore a spotless green robe. His ink-black hair was unbound, casually draped behind his shoulders and falling to his waist.

His eyes were tightly closed, his features so handsome that he seemed inhuman. Every inch of his face looked like the most perfect creation of heaven and earth, yet he carried an innate indifference, as though nothing in the world was worthy of his notice.

His name was Tang Chen.

At that moment, countless strange phenomena swirled around him.

Countless golden motes emerged from the void, gathering like fireflies into a river of stars as they slowly revolved around him.

Every mote contained an unfathomable Great Dao rune. At times, they transformed into dragons and phoenixes; at others, they evolved into suns, moons, and stars, before all sinking into Tang Chen's body.

With every breath he took, the life energy of the entire Star Dou Great Forest rose and fell like the tides.

The forest rejoiced, and all things submitted.

After a long while, Tang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Alas."

That soft sigh shattered the tranquility of the place.

A trace of complicated emotion appeared in Tang Chen's eyes.

After transmigrating into the Douluo World, he had thought he would awaken something like Twin Martial Souls or Innate Full Soul Power and begin a life of cheating.

Who would have thought that he would transmigrate into a Spirit Beast?

If the Seclusion System had not awakened in time, he would likely have already become the food of some passing Spirit Beast.

Fortunately, the system was powerful enough.

As long as he entered seclusion, he could obtain rewards.

The longer the seclusion, The More Generous the Reward.

In merely a dozen or so years, he had gone from a weak Blue Silver Grass to his current cultivation of a million years through seclusion.

This was a realm that had never existed before on the Douluo Continent.

With a thought from him, an indescribably terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

Boom—!

The entire Star Dou Great Forest shook violently. Countless Fierce Beasts with cultivations of a Hundred Thousand Years, including Di Tian sleeping deep beneath the Lake of Life, abruptly awoke and prostrated themselves on the ground, their enormous beast eyes filled with fear that came from the depths of their souls.

Behind Tang Chen, a phantom that reached from heaven to earth slowly emerged.

It was an unimaginably massive Blue Silver Emperor.

Every one of its leaves resembled a continent bearing a complete world, covered in densely packed golden divine patterns.

Nine dazzling golden halos floated silently above its true body, exuding a pressure so immense that even Gods would tremble before it.

This was his true body, the Million-Year Blue Silver Emperor.

At the sight of this Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Chen's thoughts drifted into the distance as he recalled his origins.

His mother was the previous generation's Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.

Back then, his mother had unexpectedly given birth to him while in Spirit Beast form.

He had been a Spirit Beast from birth.

And because of that, when the man called Tang Hao discovered that he was not human, his eyes had filled with undisguised disgust and contempt.

That man had tossed him into this perilous Star Dou Great Forest as casually as one threw away trash, leaving him to fend for himself.

If not for the system protecting him, his bones would have long since vanished.

He remembered all of it clearly.

Every bit of disgust on that man's face, every movement he made, had been deeply branded into Tang Chen's soul.

Later, as his cultivation deepened, he gradually uncovered the truth of that year.

What great love story between a Clear Sky Sect genius and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast?

It had been nothing more than a complete and utter scam.

Tang Hao had approached his mother from the very beginning for her Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.

That so-called love had merely been a carefully woven lie to achieve his goal.

It was Tang Hao who had deceived his mother step by step, ultimately forcing her to sacrifice herself.

It was he who had personally pushed his mother into an abyss of eternal damnation.

At the thought of Tang Hao, Tang Chen's gaze gradually darkened.

The surrounding air changed with his emotions, as though it had frozen solid. The oppression was so heavy that even space began to distort.

"Tang Hao..."

Tang Chen softly spoke the name.

Now that this seclusion had ended, it was time to go out for a walk.

Some grudges were due for settlement.

Especially freeing his mother from that endless sea of suffering.

All these years, he had been in seclusion, and he did not even have a clear understanding of just how strong he was.

Still, crushing those so-called First-Level Gods of the Douluo God Realm should not be a problem.

After all, the longer he remained in seclusion, the more rewards he received, and the faster his cultivation progressed.

By now, he had long surpassed the limits of what the Douluo Plane could comprehend.

Normally, when a Spirit Beast cultivated to a million years, it would inevitably draw a Heavenly Tribulation.

That was the suppression of the plane's Rules, as well as a purge by the God Realm.

But because of the system, which had perfectly concealed him from the Heavenly Dao will of Douluo, even the lofty God Realm had never discovered his existence.

When he broke through to a million years, everything had remained calm and peaceful, without the slightest ripple.

But that did not prevent him from possessing strength Far Exceeding the God Level.

"Tang San..."

Tang Chen thought of another person.

His younger brother, whom he had never met, who bore the plane's destiny.

The future Sea God, the inheritor of the dual God Positions of the Sea God and Asura God, one of the strongest beings in the God Realm.

Tang San would probably never know, even until his death, that he had an elder Spirit Beast brother personally abandoned by their father.

By calculation, he was about a year older than Tang San.

According to the original trajectory, at this point in time, Tang San should have already passed the Deity trials and attained a God Position.

"The Son of Destiny truly did have a few remarkable qualities."

Tang Chen gave a calm assessment, his tone utterly unruffled.

In his eyes, the so-called Son of the Plane was merely a plaything beneath the Rules of this world, not worth much of his attention.

Just then, a golden streak of Flowing Light cut across the sky and stopped with perfect precision before Tang Chen.

It was a small golden bird made entirely of pure light energy, carrying a letter in its beak.

"A letter from Xue'er?"

The indifference in Tang Chen's eyes instantly melted away, replaced by a trace of gentleness.

He reached out and took the letter. The little golden bird then turned into motes of light and dispersed.

The graceful handwriting on the envelope carried a familiar aura.

He opened the letter, and a faint fragrance wafted from the paper.

"To my husband:"

"To see these words is as though we have met. All is well, so do not worry."

"The battle at Jialing Pass is deadlocked. Tang San has obtained the Sea God, and his strength is unfathomable. I can only barely maintain a balance."

"The armies stand opposed. Victory or defeat will be decided within days."

"Husband, cultivate in peace. Once I have slain all invading enemies, I will return to find you. Do not worry for me. I will win this battle."

"It is only that... it has been so long since we last met. I miss you greatly."

At the end of the letter, she had drawn a slightly playful smiling face.
