"Star of Eden?"
Mu Chen and Mu Xi repeated Xu Yue's words.
Xu Yue nodded heavily, his expression somewhat excited, his eyes faintly reddening as though they were moist.
Though he had long since integrated into life on Douluo Continent, first with his parents and later with the three members of the Mu Family by his side, seeing the Star of Eden in his hand now still made it hard for him to contain his emotions. After all, it bore the mark of his homeland.
"Yes, I call it the Star of Eden! But that isn't its true name. Its real name should be..."
"Star Sea Harmony!"
"Star Sea Harmony?! What a beautiful name! Is this your Martial Soul now, A-Yue?"
"It's so pretty!"
The longer Mu Xi gazed at the Star of Eden, the more drawn to it she became. It seemed that what stood before her was not a Martial Soul, but an entire starry sky.
Facing Mu Xi's curious gaze, Xu Yue instinctively infused it with the Soul Power he had just awakened.
The deep-blue Star of Eden instantly turned black and crimson.
An invisible force descended in an instant, with Xu Yue at its center.
The three of them felt their bodies grow heavy, while the furniture nearby creaked faintly.
Before Mu Xi and Yuan Bao'er could react to the strange change, Mu Chen's eyes had already widened.
"This is?! An Innate Domain!!!"
"How could this be? Xiao Xi, your Martial Soul..."
Not only that, but under the influence of the Star of Eden's power, Mu Xi's Radiant Sun Martial Soul rose before her on its own, completely beyond her control.
This change left Mu Chen and Yuan Bao'er even more shocked.
Xu Yue quietly sensed it for a moment, then nodded repeatedly at the three of them, his expression slightly excited.
"Yes, Uncle Mu! This field I'm releasing is the Gravity Domain innately bestowed by the Star of Eden."
"Everything within ten meters of me will be affected. Right now, the maximum gravity is double. As my level rises, both the gravity multiplier and its range will increase."
"More importantly, the Gravity Domain ignores levels. Even a Limit Douluo would be affected by its gravity and could only resist it with Soul Power or a domain—they couldn't be immune to it."
Mu Chen sucked in a breath, then looked at Mu Xi's Radiant Sun Martial Soul and asked anxiously, "Then what's going on with Xiao Xi?"
Mu Xi carefully sensed it, then suddenly exclaimed in delight, "Dad, I can sense an attraction coming from A-Yue. Does that mean we have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
"Cough, cough!" Before Mu Chen could speak, Xu Yue gave a light cough, somewhat reluctant to disappoint her. "Probably not. I'm not getting any similar feedback on my end."
"Huh?!" Mu Xi was instantly disappointed.
Mu Chen frowned slightly at that.
"Xiao Xi, sense it more carefully. Are there any other changes?"
At his words, Mu Xi composed herself and carefully examined her Martial Soul.
Only a moment later, her eyes flew open. Excitement overflowed from her face as she cried out:
"Dad, I feel like my Martial Soul has become a little stronger under A-Yue's influence!"
"Stronger?!!"
Upon hearing Mu Xi's words, Mu Chen and Yuan Bao'er's eyes widened. They stood stunned for a moment before finally reacting.
"What kind of strengthening? Temporary or permanent?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all three gazes fell on Xu Yue.
He also wanted to know what was happening to Mu Xi, so with a thought, he drew the Star of Eden back into his body.
As the Star of Eden vanished, the surrounding Gravity Domain disappeared as well, and the weight pressing on the three of them faded away.
The special attraction Mu Xi felt toward Xu Yue also weakened by more than ninety percent in an instant.
Even so, the excitement on Mu Xi's face did not fade. "Although that attraction has weakened, the strengthening of my Martial Soul is still there."
Mu Chen considered this, then looked at Xu Yue again. "Xiao Yue, move farther away and try it."
Xu Yue nodded and retreated again.
Only after he had reached a certain distance did Mu Xi speak.
"It's gone. That feeling has disappeared, but the strengthening from before hasn't. If this can continue, my Radiant Sun Martial Soul may evolve in less than a year or two."
At that thought, Mu Xi immediately used her Soul Power and swiftly pulled Xu Yue, who was some distance away, into her arms.
"A-Yue! You're amazing!"
Only after a moment did Yuan Bao'er speak with a smile.
"All right, Xiao Xi. Bring Xiao Yue over here."
With Yuan Bao'er speaking, Xu Yue and Mu Xi naturally obediently walked over.
Even so, their hands remained tightly clasped, as though one of them could not bear to be apart even for a moment.
At that moment, Xu Yue seemed to recall something and looked at Mu Chen.
"Uncle Mu, since Sister Mu Xi's Martial Soul can evolve under my influence, what about yours?"
Mu Chen sensed for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "The gap in strength between us is too great. Even if you really could make my Martial Soul evolve, it wouldn't be something you can do right now."
He paused, then continued, "But I do have some idea of what's happening here."
Xu Yue and Mu Xi immediately fixed their gazes on Mu Chen, waiting for him to continue.
"Among Martial Souls, Ultimate Attributes often possess extremely strong suppression over inferior attributes of the same type, but they can also provide amplification!"
"For example, when the Spirit Ice Douluo was young, he once helped his senior sister's Martial Soul temporarily transform into Ultimate Ice."
"Xiao Yue's Martial Soul is a beneficial mutation of the Sun Martial Soul, and it has even produced an Innate Domain. In terms of rank, it should be above the Sun Martial Soul."
"Although star-type Martial Souls have no such thing as an ultimate attribute, calling Xiao Yue's Star of Eden the Ultimate Star would not be excessive."
"Still, its effect of permanently strengthening inferior star-type Martial Souls is a little too outrageous. But it is a good thing, after all."
With the example of the Spirit Ice Douluo, Yuan Bao'er and Mu Xi both nodded in agreement.
Xu Yue also nodded to himself inwardly.
However, Mu Chen's assessment was still somewhat conservative.
The Star of Eden was not merely the Ultimate Star. It also possessed Ultimate Strength and Ultimate Earth.
And they were the very pinnacle of ultimate attributes.
Of course, these three ultimate attributes could not be viewed separately. They were one unified whole.
At this point, Mu Chen's expression grew somewhat more serious.
"But Xiao Yue, once your control over your Martial Soul becomes more proficient, you must restrain this ability. Otherwise, I don't know how many people in this world will set their sights on you."
At those words, Yuan Bao'er and Mu Xi's expressions turned solemn.
Xu Yue also nodded with a serious expression.
This era was not like twenty thousand years ago, when Martial Souls were merely divided into Beast Martial Souls and tool Martial Souls, with only a few types.
Star-type Martial Souls were now a major branch on the continent.
The most famous was the Sun-Moon Xu Clan. Then there were great families with this type of Martial Soul, such as the Star Crown Xu Clan and the Star Saint Ye Clan.
Even in Eastsea City, where they lived, there were branch families like the Mu Family and the Ice Staff Xu Clan.
Once his ability became known, every Soul Master with a star-type Martial Soul would go mad over it.
"I understand, Uncle Mu! I'll be careful!"
"It's good that you understand." Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Come on, let's test your Innate Soul Power."
Mu Xi grabbed Xu Yue's hand, lifted her fair chin slightly, and declared with pride, "A-Yue must have Innate Full Soul Power."
But at that moment, Xu Yue extended his other hand.
"Wait, Uncle Mu. I have another Martial Soul!"
In an instant, the three members of the Mu Family gaped again and exclaimed in shock:
"What?! You have another Martial Soul?!!"
Before you continue
