Ah Yin Sacrifice

Within the Consciousness Space of the Blue Silver Domain, light and shadow intertwine like a dreamlike bubble.

Ah Yin's figure knelt amidst the lush Blue Silver Grass, her white skirt spread out, blending seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation.

For years, she was trapped inside the Blue Silver Emperor Main Body, completely isolated from the outside world. Only boundless silence remained in the world. Only when Tang Hao approached would she feel a faint sense of closeness from the depths of her soul.

But that perception was too vague, and she still didn't know what Tang Hao had gone through all these years.

Only then did that disheveled and downtrodden figure come into view.

His clothes were tattered and stained, his hair was disheveled like withered grass, and his face was covered with the marks of time and exhaustion. He had long lost the domineering presence of the Titled Douluo he once was.

Even though he looked completely different, Ah Yin recognized him at a glance.

It's a bond etched deep in the soul, one that time cannot erase.

"Hao Ge! Hao Ge, what's wrong?"

She rushed forward eagerly, her knees slamming heavily against the Blue Silver Grass on the ground, ignoring the pain as she tried to touch his body.

However, when the fingertip reached out, it passed straight through Tang Hao's body, as if passing through a phantom, without even a trace of touch.

Undeterred, she reached out again and again, only to be disappointed each time. The illusory barrier was like an invisible wall, completely separating her from the person she longed for day and night.

This place is ultimately just a reflection of the outside world, a projection of consciousness built upon the Blue Silver Grass. She is merely a remnant of her soul imprint; how could she truly touch Tang Hao in reality?

"What... what happened to him? Xiao Chuan, what's wrong with your father?"

After several failed attempts, Ah Yin's eyes reddened. She turned to look at Lin Xuan beside her, her voice filled with urgency and helplessness, and her body trembled slightly.

"First of all, he's not my dad."

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, inwardly grumbling to himself.

If Tang Hao really had a father like that, the first thing he would do growing up would probably be to get rid of this irresponsible "dad".

Only someone as blindly filial as Tang San would always listen to Tang Hao's every word and be completely devoted to him.

Judging solely from their father-son relationship, there's not a single fault to be found. But if it were him, he absolutely could not accept such a father.

He had to admit that Tang San was stronger than him in this respect.

Ah Yin didn't refute it, assuming that he was just having trouble accepting his past and was throwing a tantrum.

As time goes by and he gets to know them better, he will eventually understand who his true family members are who care for him and miss him.

She sighed softly, her gaze returning to Tang Hao's lifeless figure, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Also, he was already like this when I found him."

Lin Xuan shook his head; the lie came out of his mouth effortlessly, and there wasn't a single flaw on his face.

He didn't feel there was anything wrong with scheming against Ah Yin; their positions were different, and he also needed Ah Yin's strength to cover for him.

Otherwise, his Soul Ring will become his greatest death warrant in the future.

"There was this Blue Silver Grass right next to him, and I felt a strange sense of familiarity with it, so I reached out and touched it. Who knew it would trigger this Consciousness Space and turn into this?"

Even if he told the truth and said that Tang Hao was beaten by him, Ah Yin probably wouldn't believe him. She might even think that he was blinded by hatred.

Instead of wasting time explaining, it's better to come up with a plausible excuse to avoid trouble.

"Hao Ge, how could you be so foolish..."

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin instantly filled in a tragic and beautiful scene in her mind.

Nine years ago, in order to draw away the Spirit Hall's pursuers, Tang Hao resolutely abandoned his young child and faced the encirclement and attack of Three Great Titled Douluo alone.

The child was adopted by a kind person and grew up in ignorance.

Tang Hao, having gone through countless hardships to escape his pursuers, was already exhausted and on his deathbed. For years, he had lived in anonymity, secretly protecting the child, never daring to reveal himself to them.

Now, it seems the hidden injuries within his body have completely erupted. He used his last bit of strength to try and lure the child, but he fainted before the child could even get close...

Thinking of this, she was once again moved to tears by her own conjecture. Tears welled up in her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto the Blue Silver Grass beneath her, leaving damp patches.

"Child, only you can save him now."

Ah Yin gazed at Tang Hao's figure, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance. Then she turned to look at Lin Xuan, her tone instantly becoming extremely serious, carrying an undeniable firmness.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up—the main event was finally here.

This is the moment he's been waiting for.

"Putting aside whether I'm willing to save him or not, as you said, he's Titled Douluo Level powerhouse, while I'm just a Xiao Xiao Soul Master with meager Soul Power. How could I possibly save such a big shot?"

He frowned slightly, feigning difficulty, his tone carrying just the right amount of doubt.

No, child, you can, and only you can.

Ah Yin took a deep look at Tang Hao, slowly stood up, and gently placed her gaze on Lin Xuan. Her eyes were full of maternal love, so warm that it almost melted people's hearts.

"Although you are unwilling to admit it now, your Martial Soul cannot lie."

The blood of the Blue Silver Emperor flows in your veins; you are my child, and he is indeed your father.

You must save him no matter what.

Lin Xuan didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly, his expression calm and unwavering, as if he had already anticipated her words.

He was waiting, waiting for her to reveal that crucial information.

"You have already awakened some of the power of the Blue Silver Domain, but that's not enough to save Hao Ge."

Ah Yin explained slowly, her voice soft yet clear.

"Next, I will initiate a Sacrifice ritual to fully activate the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline Sacrifice you and grant you complete control of the Blue Silver Domain."

There is a technique in this field called ' Sea of Rivers ', which is both the origin of your name and an extremely powerful healing Soul Skill.

It can extract the energy of all Blue Silver Grass within its range and transform it into pure life force, Soul Power, and even Spiritual Power.

I need you to use this power to save him."

As she spoke, she turned back to look at Tang Hao's figure one last time, her eyes overflowing with reluctance.

But she knew that this was the only way she could think of to save Tang Hao. For him, she was willing to give everything.

Lin Xuan remained silent, simply staring intently at her, taking in every expression on her face.

She was indeed a wonderful woman, but unfortunately they were on different sides.

Ah Yin thought he was reluctant to part with her, reluctant to part with the mother-son relationship that was just beginning to take shape. She smiled gently, her tone carrying a hint of relief and resolve.

"Don't worry, the Blue Silver Emperor's characteristic is endless vitality. Even if I'm gone, it will only turn into a seed again, sleeping in the soil, waiting for the chance to grow again."

Although she spoke lightly, as if it were just a brief farewell, Lin Xuan caught a glimpse of undisguised bitterness on her lips.

He knew in his heart that the price Ah Yin would have to pay to help him fully awaken the Blue Silver Domain would be far more than that.

The so-called "re-transformation into seeds" was nothing more than a comforting excuse.

"Don't worry about me, child, we will meet again eventually."

Ah Yin smiled, a smile that concealed an unyielding bitterness, yet she still resolutely made her decision.

She took a step forward and hugged Lin Xuan again. This time, Lin Xuan did not flinch, letting her warm embrace envelop him.

A gentle, beige flame gradually ignited around Ah Yin. The flame was not hot; instead, it carried a warm energy that slowly enveloped the two of them.

This was her last resort, and also the cruelest Sacrifice ritual—using her own soul as a catalyst, burning all her life essence, Sacrifice everything she had for Lin Xuan, and condensing a Soul Ring with complete domain abilities for him.

In this way, her remaining trace of soul will completely dissipate, and even if a seed remains, she will no longer be the "Ah Yin" she once was.

"Child, promise me you'll live well."

Ah Yin's gentle voice rang in Lin Xuan's ears, carrying the purest and most sincere expectations of parents for their children, without the slightest impurity.

A strange emotion suddenly flashed through Lin Xuan's mind.

If she knew that the object she Sacrifice with all her might was not her biological son at all.

Her real son, however, already has a different soul inside him. I wonder how she will react?

Forget it, let's not make things difficult for her anymore.

Since she's about to disappear from this world completely anyway, let her leave with this beautiful hope.

Ah Yin's true form had grown for nine years, and its age was no more than nine hundred years. It was far from meeting the standards for Sacrifice, let alone condensing Soul Ring with an attached domain.

However, the "connection" that Lin Xuan had previously established with the Blue Silver Emperor Main Body gave her the opportunity to transfer energy and complete the Sacrifice.

The source of this connection was merely a scheme devised by Lin Xuan to obtain the power of the Blue Silver Emperor.

After discovering that Blue Silver Perception could connect to Blue Silver Grass, and even Tang San's Martial Soul, Lin Xuan had this idea.

The reason he didn't kill Tang Hao earlier was because he wanted to take the seriously injured and dying Tang Hao to Ah Yin and put on a show of suffering in front of her, to test whether Ah Yin had the ability to help him obtain the Blue Silver Domain ability ahead of time.

If things don't work out, he'll probably stay in one place until he gains enough power to protect himself.

Otherwise, given the constantly changing colors of his Soul Ring, even a pig could probably spot the problem.

What Lin Xuan didn't expect was that Tang Hao actually carried Ah Yin with him, which actually made his plan work smoothly.

Ah Yin was indeed a good wife. To save Tang Hao, she was willing to give everything, even her first Sacrifice, even if it meant complete annihilation.

"Xiao Chuan, this Soul Ring will accompany you, just like I will, as you grow, witnessing everything in this world with you, protecting you, guarding you, and never leaving you. Mom loves you, son."

Within the Consciousness Space of the Blue Silver Domain, Ah Yin's figure had been completely engulfed by the beige flames, gradually becoming transparent and ethereal within them.

In her final moments, she used her last strength to turn and glance at Tang Hao, who had fallen to the ground, her eyes filled with longing and concern. Then she transformed into a deep yellow Soul Ring, which slowly floated in the Consciousness Space.

Lin Xuan looked at the Soul Ring, and it would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved, but the positions of both sides destined them to fight to the death.

At the same time, in the real world, the Blue Silver Emperor Main Body, Entangle around Lin Xuan's fingertips, suddenly burst out with a dazzling yellow light, and a circular Sacrifice Magnetic Field with a diameter of five meters suddenly unfolded, firmly enveloping Lin Xuan and the Blue Silver Emperor Main Body.

Within the magnetic field, countless Tiny Blue Silver Grass emerged from the earth, swaying gently around Lin Xuan and emitting a soft halo.

Xiao Wu, standing to the side, stared in disbelief, her rabbit ears standing straight up, her big eyes filled with shock and confusion.

Oh my god, what's going on?

Why did this Blue Silver Grass suddenly decide to Sacrifice itself?

Could it be that after being imprisoned by Tang Hao for so long, she has completely become withdrawn and finally couldn't take it anymore?

The ritual for Sacrifice a nine-hundred-year-old Soul Ring does not take too long.

A few minutes later, the Blue Silver Emperor Main Body was completely burned away in the yellow light, turning into specks of fluorescence that merged into the deep yellow Soul Ring.

The Soul Ring trembled slightly in the air, then quietly floated above Lin Xuan's head, radiating pure and gentle energy fluctuations.

In the world of consciousness, the Yellow Soul Ring echoed the Soul Ring in reality, and slowly fell down, precisely fitting onto the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul that appeared in Lin Xuan's palm.

A surge of Soul Power, which was quite powerful for Lin Xuan, instantly flooded into his body, flowing rapidly through his meridians like a stream merging into a river.

However, this Soul Power did not directly increase his level. Instead, it was integrated into his original Soul Power, making it more refined and condensed, and its operation became smoother.

Nourished and activated by Ah Yin's Soul Ring, fine silver lines slowly spread from the roots of the Blue Silver Grass in Lin Xuan's palm, extending along the stem to the entire leaf, shimmering with a warm and noble luster, as if inlaid with countless tiny silver diamonds.

The deep yellow Soul Ring, as if it had found its final home, was firmly placed on the Blue Silver Grass, perfectly matching the Martial Soul and radiating the unique aura of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Lin Xuan could clearly feel that the Blue Silver Grass blood within his body had been stimulated and had begun to evolve wildly.

The complete Blue Silver Domain awakened like a sleeping behemoth, and a powerful force that controlled the vegetation flowed slowly within his body.

His Martial Soul state had always been synchronized with Tang Wulin's, without the Sisi change.

However, now, with the infusion of Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, Lin Xuan's Martial Soul, although it did not leap to become the Blue Silver Emperor, has advanced to a level far exceeding that of ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

Resembling a king but not a king, resembling an emperor but not an emperor!
