The sudden Spatial Transition did not throw Lin Xuan into a panic.

He knew that panicking wouldn't solve anything, and this was something he had done intentionally. He just hadn't expected Tang Hao to have Ah Yin with him, which saved him a lot of time.

More importantly, he has a clear grasp of his own body and Spiritual World, with no signs of being invaded or manipulated.

The feeling was strange, as if his consciousness had built a private network, and another consciousness, like a device connected to Bluetooth, had successfully entered this private space.

The surrounding area was a pure azure blue, not Void, but rather the result of his Blue Silver Domain Perception actively shielding him from the outside world, which made it appear vast and boundless.

"Child, is that you?"

As soon as this special connection was established, a gentle and soft female voice rang in Lin Xuan's ears.

The voice was a mixture of anticipation, nervousness at the reunion, and a hint of apprehension at the possibility of making a mistake, like a pebble thrown into still water, creating ripples in the silent space.

"Who are you?"

Although he had already determined the other party's identity through various clues, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to expose him.

He wanted to probe Ah Yin's depths further, to see just how much power this remnant consciousness of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor still possessed.

As Lin Xuan responded, specks of Azure Gold Light Spots appeared out of thin air, like countless stars falling into this Azure Space.

The points of light gradually converged and coalesced, eventually transforming into the figure of a slender woman.

She had long, deep blue hair, like the ocean, that cascaded over her shoulders. Her face was gentle and beautiful, with a hint of kindness in her eyes. She even bore a faint resemblance to Lin Xuan.

"Child, it's me! It's your mother!"

Ah Yin locked her gaze on Lin Xuan at a glance, her eyes instantly flashing with intense light. Before Lin Xuan could react, she stepped forward and pulled him tightly into her arms.

The moment their skin touched, a sense of affinity emanating from the depths of their blood suddenly intensified, becoming even stronger than before.

Ah Yin's embrace was soft and warm, like the gentlest sunshine in spring, or like a melting stream, slowly washing over Lin Xuan's mind, bringing an unprecedented sense of peace.

That was a mother's love so pure and untainted, without a trace of self-interest, only a heart full of cherishing and concern.

Lin Xuan's body stiffened instinctively; he had never experienced anything like it before.

It felt unfamiliar, yet carried a deep sense of familiarity, as if a long-silent corner had been gently touched by this sudden warmth, causing subtle ripples to spread.

He arrived in this world all alone, and had never felt such a clear blood bond before.

He knew why Ah Yin had misunderstood.

His Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul carries the Tang Wulin Template, and he and Ah Yin originally shared the same Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline connection.

Add to that his handsome appearance and that pure Blue Silver aura, and unless he actively denies it, Ah Yin would have no way of distinguishing him from Tang San.

Lin Xuan had to admit that the feeling of being wholeheartedly cared for was very warm, but it also kept him highly vigilant.

Ah Yin's feelings for him were all based on the mistaken belief that "he is Tang San".

It would be truly foolish to indulge in this false family affection and let Ah Yin live.

If she were merely a newly sprouted Blue Silver Grass without any intelligence, perhaps things would be different.

But she is Tang Hao's wife, Tang San's mother, and an "enemy" he must deal with in his plan.

This misplaced family bond was doomed to fail from the very beginning.

"Child, I know you have many questions. Don't worry, I'll tell you everything later!"

Ah Yin gently patted Lin Xuan's back, her voice so tender it could melt water, her eyes overflowing with affection, truly treating him as her long-lost child.

In her view, the Blue Silver Emperor Aura emanating from Lin Xuan was genuine, sharing the same lineage as hers, pure and noble.

Although he hasn't fully awakened into the Blue Silver Emperor yet, his aura is undeniable.

Moreover, he could also unleash Pseudo Blue Silver Domain and establish such a deep Soul Connection with her—who else could it be but her child?

Ah Yin's judgment was impeccable within her cognitive logic.

However, the reality was far beyond her imagination, belonging to two completely different dimensions.

In the Original Work, even after Tang San awakened the Blue Silver Emperor, he never entered such a state of consciousness connection.

Lin Xuan guessed that this might be because Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass Bloodline was of a high enough level. After all, it was a bloodline that had gone through the path to godhood. Now it seemed that it was more like his high-level bloodline had been compatible with Ah Yin's remaining consciousness.

Ah Yin's excitement was beyond words.

Since the remnants of her consciousness after the Sacrifice were trapped in the seed and began to grow again, she has been completely isolated from the outside world.

No sound could be heard, no sight could be seen; the only thing that could be sensed was the faint, familiar aura of Tang Hao as he approached.

The rest of the time was filled with endless darkness and silence, more despairing than being locked in a dark room.

Now, Lin Xuan's appearance has not only allowed her to come into contact with the "outside world," but also allowed her to see the child she has been longing for day and night.

This surprise was like a thunderclap, exploding in her long-dormant heart. Now she wanted nothing more than to have a good talk with her child, to ask him how he had been all these years, and whether he had suffered any injustice.

Lin Xuan forcibly suppressed the strange fluctuation in his heart, and his mind quickly returned to calm.

He cannot be swayed by this sudden tenderness; he must stay true to his original intentions.

With his strong willpower, he resisted the affinity and pull from his Martial Soul and gently pushed away Ah Yin's embrace.

"You've mistaken me for someone else; I'm not your child."

Lin Xuan quickly calculated various possible solutions and ultimately decided to do the opposite.

The more certain Ah Yin was, the more resolutely he denied it, thus disrupting her judgment and forcing her into a state of self-justification, so that he could then realize the next step of his plan.

"Xiao Chuan, I really am your mother!"

Seeing Lin Xuan's resolute attitude, Ah Yin felt as if her heart had been ripped apart, and she felt a sharp pain.

She placed boundless hopes on her child, even naming him "Chuan," derived from the highest mysteries of the Blue Silver Domain, "the Sea of Rivers," embodying her expectation that her child would embrace all things and grow strong.

But now, under such a strong Martial Soul Resonance, the child is so resistant to recognizing her. This disparity made her eyes instantly redden, and her voice carried a barely perceptible sob.

' Xiao Chuan? So Tang Chuan is his real name!'

Lin Xuan's lips twitched violently, and he instantly understood.

So that's how Tang San's somewhat odd name came about.

Some people had previously speculated whether there was any third party involved, but now it seems that Tang Hao mistakenly remembered the word "Chuan" left by A Yin as "".

"First of all, I am not your child, and I have never had a mother like you; secondly, my name is Lin Xuan, not Xiao Chuan."

Lin Xuan took two steps back, increasing the distance between himself and Ah Yin.

As the distance between them increased, the sense of intimacy emanating from his Martial Soul indeed diminished somewhat, making his thoughts clearer.

"No way, you are my child!"

Ah Yin's sadness was hard to conceal, yet her tone remained firm.

Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor Aura emanating from Lin Xuan, which was exactly the same as her own, she refused to believe that she could have mistaken him for someone else.

Suddenly, a scene flashed through her mind before the Sacrifice — Tang Hao was being besieged by three Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall. Even though her Sacrifice allowed Tang Hao to break through to the Titled Douluo realm, how could he possibly escape unscathed from the combined attack of three equally powerful individuals?

A thought naturally arose:

Tang Hao must have hidden the young boy in a safe place to protect him, and then lured away the pursuers on his own.

Her child was most likely adopted by a kind person, grew up calling other people's parents "Dad" and "Mom," and has long forgotten his own origins.

Thinking of this, Ah Yin could no longer hold back her tears, which slid down her cheeks and dripped into the void, turning into specks of dissipating blue light.

She felt sorry for her child's loneliness over the years and blamed herself for not being able to stay by his side.

Watching Ah Yin wallow in her own self-indulgent "tragic drama of the century," Lin Xuan's lips twitched even more violently.

This scene made him seem like some heartless, wicked villain who didn't recognize his own mother, which left him both amused and exasperated.

"My child, I am truly your mother, the former Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin."

Ah Yin wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and as quickly as possible told Lin Xuan about her identity, her love affair with Tang Hao, her past as Sacrifice when she was hunted down by the Spirit Hall, and her speculation about the loss of her child. Her tone was earnest, and her eyes were full of hope that he would believe her.

Lin Xuan's face showed a look of shock at just the right moment, as if he were hearing such a bizarre past for the first time, but his heart was already calm and undisturbed.

As expected, the plot was exactly the same as he knew.

There was no ulterior motive between Tang Hao and Ah Yin, because Tang Hao's cultivation level was only level 87 at that time, which was still a long way from level 90.

In the end, it was only through Ah Yin Sacrifice that Tang Hao Tang Hao able to break through to the Titled Douluo by forcibly injecting Soul Power into his body.

"Child, our Martial Soul share the same origin and our bloodlines are connected. It's impossible for you not to sense this bond."

Ah Yin gazed at Lin Xuan tenderly, her eyes filled with certainty.

"I don't know if what you're saying is true or false, but this is indeed the first time I've met you."

Seeing that Ah Yin had sorted everything out clearly, Lin Xuan stopped trying to block out the outside world.

With a thought, the previously sealed Blue Silver Domain Perception began to gradually reveal the outside world.

In the azure space, ripples of light and shadow appeared, like a vivid scroll unfolding, presenting everything outside to Ah Yin's eyes.

Ah Yin's eyes were full of anticipation. She hadn't seen the outside world for far too long, and even her breathing became a little rapid.

However, as the light and shadow in the space gradually became clearer and the scene outside was fully revealed, Ah Yin's gaze suddenly froze, and the expectation on her face was instantly replaced by unbelievable shock.

In that familiar patch of grass, a disheveled figure lay collapsed on the ground, his clothes tattered and his breath weak—it was Tang Hao, whom she had been longing for day and night!
