Lin Chen hurriedly summoned his Martial Soul upon hearing the voice.

A golden figure slowly condensed.

A breathtakingly beautiful face, long golden hair, a figure dreamed of by countless women, and an intense divine aura—all of it appeared before Lin Chen.

"Seven Kill Sword? It does seem somewhat familiar." The golden figure spoke first.

Looking at her, Lin Chen, as a transmigrator, recognized her identity as well. "You are... the Angel God, Qian Renxue!?"

Yet Lin Chen did not lower the Seven Kill Sword in his hand. He had no idea whether the Angel God before him would attack him.

"Oh? I never expected anyone to still remember me." Qian Renxue spoke with considerable surprise.

Lin Chen said nothing, merely watching her quietly.

"It seems I have slept for a very long time, though I do not know exactly how long. How many years have passed on the Douluo Continent?" Qian Renxue asked again.

"Senior Qian, ten thousand years have passed since the Battle of Jialing Pass," Lin Chen answered respectfully.

"Ten thousand years..." Qian Renxue gave a bitter smile.

After another stretch of silence, Qian Renxue said, "Little fellow, you may leave now. Remember, do not mention what happened here to anyone outside. Even though my divine soul is about to dissipate, killing you would still be effortless."

Lin Chen remained where he was.

Seeing that Lin Chen had ignored her words, Qian Renxue grew somewhat irritated. A chilling aura erupted from her as she shouted, "Why are you still here?!"

Lin Chen snapped back to his senses and said, "Senior Qian, how about we cooperate?"

Qian Renxue could not help laughing at that. "You, a mere three-ring brat, want to cooperate with me?"

Lin Chen remained silent, simply watching her and waiting for Qian Renxue's response.

"Your courage is commendable. Go on, then. My divine soul will soon completely dissipate between heaven and earth. Let me see whether, before I die, there is anything that can still interest me."

"Senior, help me become a god. In return, I will revive you and help you become the Angel God once more, so you can take revenge on Tang San. What do you think?" As he spoke, Lin Chen took the initiative to release his three Soul Rings—yellow, purple, purple—an utterly extraordinary configuration.

Seeing such a Soul Ring configuration, Qian Renxue was slightly surprised. A trace of struggle surfaced in her eyes, but she soon let it go and said, "Forget it. My mother once told me to learn how to let go. It has already been ten thousand years. What is there left that I cannot let go of?"

Even Lin Chen could not help being surprised by those words.

"Little fellow, thank you for your kindness, but for a Soul Master to become a god through individual strength alone, the hope is truly slim. Whether it was my mother and me or Tang San, we all became gods only by relying on the legacy of our predecessors. It is better not to entertain such thoughts."

Having finally encountered such a powerful figure, Lin Chen naturally would not give up so easily. The opportunity to change his fate lay right before him, so he continued, "If Senior helps me, my chances of becoming a god can rise to fifty percent. And I can promise you that after becoming a god, I will definitely revive you. Since you have already let go of the past, why not experience a new life? The daily necessities of life, mornings and evenings, the warmth and coldness of human relationships—I believe these are all things Senior once longed for."

As a transmigrator, Lin Chen naturally knew of Qian Renxue's tragic past. Saying this was extremely risky; he might be instantly destroyed the very next moment. Yet he still said it, because success and failure were fifty-fifty.

Take a gamble, and a bicycle could become a motorcycle.

Lin Chen was not a Son of Destiny, with everything he needed delivered right to him on schedule. He had to fight for everything himself, and these words were his attempt to win the Angel God Qian Renxue's help.

Listening to him, Qian Renxue did not grow angry. Instead, a hint of longing appeared in her eyes.

"Little fellow, you are the first person who has dared speak to me like this. Very well, I will gamble with you."

After saying that, Qian Renxue turned into a streak of golden light and plunged directly into Lin Chen's Sea of Consciousness. The instant she entered, Lin Chen felt his Sea of Consciousness expand without end, while his Spiritual Power rose steadily.

"I have broadened your Sea of Consciousness. From now on, I will reside here. Over the next few days, I will continuously draw upon your Spiritual Power to stabilize my divine soul. At the same time, however, your Spiritual Power cultivation speed will increase severalfold. Once this period has passed, if you cultivate diligently, your Spiritual Power should reach the level of a Soul Emperor."

"Senior, can you give me another Martial Soul?" Lin Chen asked for what he wanted most.

"What Martial Soul do you want?"

"A Light Martial Soul," Lin Chen answered after thinking for a moment.

"An elemental Martial Soul?"

"Yes."

"Very well." With that, Qian Renxue manipulated her divine power and created an ultimate light-element Martial Soul within Lin Chen's body.

Lin Chen instantly felt that he had gained another Martial Soul.

Before he could sense the subtle changes, Qian Renxue had already mobilized the divine power remaining within the cave. Before long, a golden sacred sword and nine golden spheres of light floated before Lin Chen.

Qian Renxue continued, "Back then, my Godhood Position shattered, though some divine power remained. Yet the shattered Godhood Position could not carry my physical body at the time. Only after my body died of old age, and my divine soul weakened over all these years, could this shattered Godhood Position carry my current divine soul and allow me to wield divine power. The nine spheres of light before you are Soul Rings I prepared for your Second Martial Soul. Add them to your Second Martial Soul only after your Seven Kill Sword reaches nine rings. That golden sacred sword is the Angel Sacred Sword I once used. With me inside your body, you can naturally use it. All right, I am going to sleep. Cultivate well. Oh, right—there are quite a few hidden injuries in your body. I have marked them for you, so deal with them yourself."

After saying that, Lin Chen's Sea of Consciousness fell silent.

Lin Chen, however, was incredibly excited. This was a damn cheat code! Who would have thought that a trip out would net him an Angel God?

Moreover, after awakening his Second Martial Soul, Lin Chen's Soul Power directly rose to level 36—a full five-level increase!

After resting and recuperating, Lin Chen rode the Seven Kill Sword to the mountaintop. Upon spotting a city in the distance, he headed toward it.

Three days later, Lin Chen entered the city.

After asking around, Lin Chen learned that this city was Xinghai City, located in the southern region of the Starfall Empire. Including the time he had spent unconscious, he had drifted for more than a month.

"Oh no, oh no—the School Starts ceremony!"

Shrek Academy, Du Wilun's office.

"What? That kid still hasn't returned?"

Wang Yan nodded. By now, Lin Chen's disappearance was common knowledge among the second-year students. Xiao Xiao, Lin Xiaolei, and Zhou Mingxing had even posted missing-person notices throughout Shrek City.

"Director, I have already asked his roommate. His roommate said that seven days after the holiday began, he broke through to three rings and went alone to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring."

"This kid clearly received a Soul Ring reward from the Freshman Competition, yet he insisted on hunting a Soul Beast himself. All right, you may go back first. I will report this to Dean Yan and see how he wishes to handle it."

Yan Shaozhe's office

"Mm... I understand. Go attend to your work first." Lin Chen was a core disciple, possessed a Soul Ring configuration beyond the limits, and, more importantly, was an orphan. Yan Shaozhe truly could not bear to let such a genius fall into the hands of another faction.

"If I remember correctly, that child's letter of recommendation was given by that girl Lexuan, wasn't it?" With that, Yan Shaozhe rose to his feet and headed for Zhang Lexuan's residence.
