After putting away the Silver Soul Coins, Tian Hao explained, "I divide domains into those that act on oneself: Constitution Type Domains, such as those that enhance strength, defense, speed, and so on. These generally appear on Beast Martial Soul masters.

"The second type is Elemental Domains. As long as a Soul Master's Martial Soul, or the Soul Rings and Soul Skills they acquire, possess elemental power, they can develop one.

"The third type is Mental Domains, such as illusions, emotions, killing intent, and the like.

"The fourth type is more miscellaneous. I call them Special Domains, including Rule Domains, Conceptual Domains, and so on. It would be difficult for you to understand even if I explained it, but such domains generally possess God-Tier Power. They belong to the power of gods.

"As for the domain you just used, it involved Life Force. To a certain extent, that power can be classified as the fourth type.

"According to my speculation, the Power of Life and the Power of Death, which represent the beginning and end of living beings, are far from simple. At the very least, their starting point is higher than that of elemental powers.

"As for anything more, I don't know. These are all based on records left behind by predecessors. I merely summarized their discoveries.

"However, your domain does not seem to directly control or even create Life Force. It isn't powerful enough yet. You can develop it in that direction in the future.

"If you can control that power, then any enemy who enters your domain will be under your control. With a single thought, you could strip away and extract their Life Force..."

They walked as Tian Hao explained, and before long they arrived home. Tian Hao leaned the Steel Spear against the wall and went into the bathroom for a quick rinse.

Though the battle had been brief, its intensity had been high. He was drenched in sweat and needed to wash up.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who remained in the courtyard, wore grave expressions.

"A Mental Domain!"

Tang Hao muttered under his breath, unable to help thinking of his younger sister, Tang Yuehua. That girl had awakened a domain at an early age, and judging by its effects, it seemed to fall under the category of Mental Domains.

"Your Divine Slaughter's Domain should count as a Mental Domain too."

Ah Yin thought of the Divine Slaughter's Domain Tang Hao had obtained from the City of Slaughter. Strictly speaking, it was indeed a Mental Domain.

"My Divine Slaughter's Domain was formed by fusing my own killing intent with the special power of the City of Slaughter. Calling it a Mental Domain wouldn't be wrong."

Tang Hao nodded, agreeing with that assessment.

Leaving aside Tang Hao and Ah Yin's conversation outside, Tian Hao finished his quick wash in the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, especially his eyes.

Was that luck?

He muttered inwardly. The state of enlightenment just now had not only elevated his thoughts, but also granted him a new ability.

In that state, he could see dazzling light radiating from Ah Yin and Tang Hao. His intuition told him that it was the power of luck that sustained the enlightenment function.

On the way back, he had encountered a village auntie. He entered the state of enlightenment for an instant and found that the light around her was barely perceptible. Clearly, that was the state of an ordinary person's luck, utterly incomparable to Ah Yin and Tang Hao's.

But that made sense. Not only were they the parents of the protagonist of a future era, but they would also become gods in the more distant future and rule Douluo Planet. Their luck naturally could not be poor.

Recalling that dazzling radiance, Tian Hao instantly made up his mind.

"I have to squeeze those two dry!"

As for what consequences there might be after their luck was drained dry, what did that have to do with Tian Someone?

After calming himself, Tian Hao changed clothes and walked out of the bathroom. He then picked up a stone he had found by the roadside on the way back and entered the Forge Room.

"Uncle, turn this thing by hand. Remember, quickly."

After securing the stone in place, Tian Hao beckoned to Tang Hao, who had followed him in to watch.

"Like this?"

After watching Tian Hao demonstrate, Tang Hao reached out and turned it.

At the same time, he examined the large contraption before him. He had seen it when he came in to tidy up that morning, but he had not understood what it was for.

"Mm!"

After checking that there was no problem, Tian Hao nodded and looked for a suitable cutting tool.

"What is that?"

Ah Yin, who had followed them in, asked curiously. She had never seen such a large lump of iron before either.

"This is called a lathe. It can make some simple tools."

While giving a brief explanation, Tian Hao secured the cutting tool in place. After signaling Tang Hao to turn the mechanism, he began working.

That was right. It was a lathe.

He had learned how to use one in his previous life. Though he had not used it after entering society, he still understood its structure and principles clearly. After coming to this world, he had forged it out hammer blow by hammer blow.

Its precision was nothing remarkable, but it could still make some simple things.

Fortunately, this world had quite a few rare metals. Even pig iron could be forged and refined into Iron Mother, whose hardness rivaled the Tungsten Steel of his previous life. That was how he had made a set of high-strength cutting tools.

After a round of work, the stone quickly became a stone bowl. He also used the stone he had hollowed out to make a teacup.

"Hold these!"

Tian Hao had Ah Yin carry the large bowl Tang Hao had used for tea earlier, along with the stone bowl he had just made. He picked up a bamboo strip and carved at it with a small knife, quickly whittling out two pairs of chopsticks.

"Come on, let's eat!"

Handing the chopsticks to Ah Yin as well, Tian Hao picked up his own bowl and chopsticks and headed outside.

"We're going too?"

Ah Yin was stunned. She had been wondering what the boy was up to, only to find that he had been making bowls and chopsticks for her.

"If you've brought enough rations, you don't have to."

Without turning his head, Tian Hao replied as he walked out through the courtyard gate.

Since they had come to stay, the village naturally had to provide them with meals.

After all, there was no village ahead or behind, and the village had no restaurants. They could only follow him around to eat at different households.

"Should we go have something to eat?"

Ah Yin looked at Tang Hao, who was still studying the lathe, feeling somewhat guilty.

They had hurried along the road for the past month, making Hao rough it with her. He had not had a proper meal in quite some time.

"Let's go. It's better than chewing dry rations."

Tang Hao naturally did not refuse. He had no confidence in either his own cooking or Ah Yin's, so it would be good to get a meal in the village. Besides, they had already given them a hundred Gold Soul Coins, so there was nothing to feel embarrassed about.

He just did not know whether the food in this remote backwater would suit Ah Yin's tastes. If it did not, they could always come back and chew dry rations.

"Let me carry those for you."

Ah Yin and Tang Hao hurried outside, catching up to Tian Hao. Ah Yin warmly reached out to take the bowls and chopsticks from Tian Hao's hands, but Tian Hao dodged her.

"No need. I'm a bit of a clean freak. I don't like other people touching my things.

"Oh, and don't touch the toiletries I use in the bathroom either. If you brought your own, just put them in there. If not, I'll make two sets for you after dinner. After using the toilet, remember to rinse the seat with water."

After offering the reminder, Tian Hao continued walking. Ah Yin froze where she stood, and Tang Hao was equally stunned.

"Is he saying I'm dirty?"

After a moment of silence, Ah Yin asked. Fine veins throbbed at her temple.

The Blue Silver Emperor was actually being looked down upon one day.

"He's saying we're dirty!"

Tang Hao added, genuinely not knowing how to judge that youth.

Calling his way of thinking bizarre was no longer enough. Was he missing a screw? And not just any screw, but the main one.

"Move!"

Ah Yin gritted out a single word and continued onward. Tang Hao could only follow.

(Ah Yin: Time to eat! Time to eat!

Tian Someone: Guys, was that explanation about domains solid or not? If you think it was solid, give me some recommendations and support. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
