God Realm, A land of swirling clouds and radiant mist, a majestic hall stood atop the clouds.

Within the hall, a handsome man in a blue-gold robe, holding a golden trident, observed the Douluo Continent from an endless distance, tracking every movement.

"Xiao Qi is asleep. Brother, you seem troubled." Xiao Wu, wearing a pink dress with a scorpion-tail braid, walked up from behind and took Tang San's wrist, asking with concern.

"It's still about the Douluo Continent. I originally wanted to stay there a while longer, but due to the bet between Good and Evil, I had to return to the God Realm early to oversee matters..."

"Twenty years in the God Realm, ten thousand years of change on the Douluo Continent, and the Tang Sect has already withered. Though I am a God King, I can only watch helplessly as the Tang Sect declines step by step."

"Brother, don't be too sad. The Tang Sect's decline is a natural part of the era's progression."

Tang San nodded. "You're right. But the Tang Sect was my creation after all. How can I bear to see it vanish? As a God Realm Enforcer, I cannot interfere with the lower realm. Yet a new star has risen on the Douluo Continent, one who will be inextricably linked to my Tang Sect..."

Suddenly, Tang San's expression froze, his eyes widening slightly. "...The new star... vanished?!"

"The hope of the Tang Sect's revival... gone just like that? How is this possible? What happened?!"

Tang San extended his hand, sweeping away the layers of clouds before him. In an instant, the wind surged and clouds churned, revealing every detail of the Douluo Continent's planet.

"Brother..." Xiao Wu watched his actions, her gaze stunned.

He had just said that as an Enforcer, he couldn't interfere with matters on the Douluo Continent, yet now he was probing the entire planet for the sake of a single new star.

Contradictory—truly saying one thing while doing another.

Meanwhile, not far away in the clouds, an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl who bore a seventy percent resemblance to Tang San blinked her bright eyes, curiously watching the planet her father was manipulating.

"So this is the Douluo Continent I always hear Mom and Dad talk about."

The girl plunged into the clouds, disappearing from sight.

"Take it easy, little brother Huo."

"Thank you so much for the hospitality, Brother Chuan."

"Don't mention it. You seem in a hurry—are you traveling?"

The boy stopped chewing, put down the gnawed chicken leg, and gave an embarrassed smile. "Yeah, I left in such a rush, so..."

"So you couldn't help but follow the smell of meat." Qin Chuan laughed heartily.

Huo Yuhao patted his full belly and nodded sheepishly.

Qin Chuan looked up at the clear sky. The sun hung high overhead, its warm light falling on both of them. When he looked down again, Huo Yuhao was already fast asleep.

"Such a rookie. Knocked out by my drug without a fight." Qin Chuan dragged Huo Yuhao under a big tree, crouched down, and studied him carefully.

"Eleven years old with only level ten soul power. Killing you wouldn't yield much Snow Hatred Value. You're in luck, kid—I'm planning to fatten you up like a pig before the slaughter, just like I did with Tang San from the Parallel Time and Space."

"Consider this a little gift for our first meeting."

Qin Chuan flipped his wrist, and a pitch-black Sky-Covering Cloud Jade appeared in his hand. Without a word, he strung it on a rope and hung it around Huo Yuhao's neck.

The Sky-Covering Cloud Jade could block detection from the God Realm and also had a certain effect on enhancing a soul master's cultivation.

Before leaving, Qin Chuan left some Gold Soul Coins and a letter, then turned and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

He had already been staking out Huo Yuhao at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion for several days before finding this opportunity.

Current Snow Hatred Value: 410200

"Huo Yuhao, your greatest cheats in this life are none other than Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux. I'm really curious—when I reclaim both of them, what step will you take next?"

As the sun set, Huo Yuhao groggily heard a man and a woman's voices.

"This little brother fell asleep? He looks fine... I think he's waking up."

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, looking at the man and woman who had suddenly appeared before him. He instinctively asked, "Strange, why did I suddenly fall asleep? And who are you? Where's Brother Chuan?"

Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged glances, thinking the kid had slept himself silly.

The tall, gentle-mannered Bei Bei smiled. "Little brother, we were just passing by. We found you passed out under this tree and waited until now. Who is this Brother Chuan you mentioned?"

"Someone who was really good to me." Huo Yuhao stood up groggily, looking at the long-extinguished campfire. The sky in the distance had already darkened, and he realized he had slept the entire afternoon.

Tang Ya, a slender girl of about fifteen or sixteen, picked up a pouch of Gold Soul Coins and a letter, handing them to Huo Yuhao. "Little brother, when we found you, this letter and the Gold Soul Coins were right beside you. They must have been left by this Brother Chuan you mentioned."

Huo Yuhao eagerly took the letter and the heavy pouch of Gold Soul Coins, lowering his head to read.

"Little brother Huo, meeting you was an honor for Brother Chuan. I can tell you're a soul master too. This pouch of Gold Soul Coins is a small token of my regard. I hope that one day you can become a true powerhouse. The jade hanging around your neck is a family heirloom called Sky-Covering Cloud Jade. It aids in cultivating soul power and can greatly enhance a soul master's training speed. The moment I saw you, I knew you were someone with a story. I hope you can step out of the shadows in your heart and truly walk the path of a strong person. Consider these my last embers, left for you by someone whose time is short. Life is full of reunions—your big brother is off."

Huo Yuhao instinctively touched his chest, gripping the Sky-Covering Cloud Jade tightly through his clothes. A stream of hot tears rolled down his cheeks, and under the astonished gazes of Bei Bei and Tang Ya, he buried his face in his hands and sobbed.

Huo Yuhao had lived a hard life since childhood. This was the first time someone had treated him with genuine kindness.

Clutching the heavy Gold Soul Coins in his hand, he silently resolved to train hard and become a powerful soul master respected by all. One day, he would make that man kneel before his mother's grave and kowtow in apology.

Tang Ya's eyes softened as she handed him a handkerchief. "Little brother, men don't cry easily. Here, take this."

"Thank you, sister." Huo Yuhao wiped his tears with the handkerchief.

Tang Ya beamed. Being called "sister" by the boy lifted her spirits, and she asked directly, "Little brother, are you alone?"

Though puzzled by her sudden question, Huo Yuhao nodded honestly.

"Excellent!"

Tang Ya was overjoyed and quickly asked, "So, are you interested in joining the Tang Sect?"

"The Tang Sect!"

A few days later...

"Fifty meters ahead is the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul beasts roam here. Watch your safety."

Qin Chuan looked at the warning sign by the roadside, then gazed at the endless expanse of the Star Dou Great Forest before him. Without hesitation, he stepped inside.

The forest was deep and silent, towering trees visible everywhere.

This was Qin Chuan's first time entering the Star Dou Great Forest, and also his first time leaving the Sun Moon Empire alone to set foot on the Douluo Continent.

Unlike the era of Douluo One, ten thousand years later, the overall combat power of the Star Dou Great Forest was terrifying. Not counting the Silver Dragon King, who was likely sleeping and recovering from injuries, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian alone ranked first on the entire continent, let alone the five ferocious beasts under his command.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

Just then, the sound of leaves rubbing together came from the forest. A figure moved like the wind, charging at Qin Chuan with lightning speed.

Qin Chuan's eyes sharpened. Beneath his feet, four soul rings lit up—one yellow, one purple, and two black. The second soul ring suddenly blazed with intense light.

"Second Soul Skill, Spider Web Senluo Prison."

Qin Chuan casually tossed a dark purple mass of light. Upon contact, it transformed into a dark purple spider web, wrapping the figure tightly.

Thud—

A dull sound rang out, accompanied by a heart-wrenching roar. The violent poison of the Death Spider Emperor instantly invaded the Wind Baboon's body.

By the time Qin Chuan approached, the ten-year soul beast Wind Baboon had already been corroded to nothing by the venom.

Qin Chuan had recently broken through to become a Soul Ancestor. The fourth soul ring he exchanged from the system store was twenty-five thousand years old, perfectly suited for the Death Spider Emperor martial soul. This made the poison of the Second Soul Skill, Spider Web Senluo Prison, terrifyingly potent.

The Fourth Soul Skill, Bloodsucking Spider Thorn, was a large-area skill. Dealing with a ten-year Wind Baboon didn't require such an elaborate effort.

"Oh my! Look what I've found? A little guy with a hundred-year first soul ring, a thousand-year second soul ring, and ten-thousand-year third and fourth rings. Not a rare spiritual attribute, but still quite uncommon."

The sudden voice didn't startle Qin Chuan. The corner of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

Qin Chuan felt the ground tremble beneath him. A crack split open without warning, and a chubby, white, plump thing burrowed out. A wave of cold followed, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Before him was a seven-meter-long silkworm, its body a translucent jade-white. The most striking feature was the ten golden rings running from its head to its tail.

The first genuine million-year soul beast in Douluo Continent history—Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Kid, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

Under Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's astonished gaze, Qin Chuan stepped forward and stroked its icy body.

"You seem very weak."

"The past is too painful to recall. Let's skip that. Kid, I want to give you a gift. If we don't do it now, it'll be too late."

Qin Chuan smiled calmly, looking up to meet Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's pitch-black pupils. "You want to sacrifice yourself to me, to complete some grand god-making plan, right?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "...How do you know?!"

"System, begin recycling," Qin Chuan said silently in his heart.

"Ding-dong. Detected a dying million-year soul beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Starting recycling now."

A strange suction force appeared in Qin Chuan's palm. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm tried to flee, but it was too late.

Its plump body was pulled and deformed into an ice-white "strip," vanishing from the spot. Only a lonely shed skin remained, proof that it had once existed.

"Ding-dong. Successfully recycled million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."

"Current Snow Hatred Value: 1,410,200"

A full million Snow Hatred Value. Huo Yuhao's first step toward becoming the Cheater was intercepted by Qin Chuan. He had waited five years for this moment.

"I didn't want to be toyed with by you, Ice Silkworm." Qin Chuan collected the shed skin of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. This thing could even trap the Ice Emperor—truly a treasure.

At the same time, the system's cold prompt sounded again.

"Ding-dong. Detected the remnant soul of Electrolux wandering aimlessly. It is about to collide with the host. Devour it?"
