My Grandson Shows the Makings of a God, A Discussion of Life and Destruction

Ye Qingzhou closed his eyes, sensing the life force emanating from the divine radiance as it nourished his body.

Enveloped by the divine light, his feet lifted off the ground, and he hovered in mid-air.

Watching Ye Qingzhou wrapped within the pillar of light, Ye Lingling looked toward Ye Shuyuan and asked with concern:

"Grandfather, will this pillar of light cause Xiao Zhou any harm?"

She was merely an ordinary second-ring Soul Grand Master; facing the beam of light that had pierced through the dome and descended, she was powerless and could do nothing.

She could only pin her hopes on her grandfather, who was a Titled Douluo.

Ye Shuyuan shook his head, signaling for Ye Lingling to be at ease: "Rest assured, I can sense that this pillar of light contains incredibly pure life force."

The extreme, most pristine power contained within this light was something even he, a Titled Douluo, could not achieve.

"But..." Ye Lingling stared intently at Ye Qingzhou, at a loss for words.

Because she saw an expression of extreme enjoyment on Ye Qingzhou's face.

If this pillar of light were causing him harm, he wouldn't be enjoying it.

Unless he had some peculiar hobby.

The divine radiance dissipated, and the divine power surrounding his body vanished into thin air.

Having lost the divine light, Ye Qingzhou's feet touched the ground. He opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings.

A faint, shimmering green leaf mark appeared on his forehead.

Ye Qingzhou could never mistake this power; in the God Realm, only one person possessed such pure life energy, and that was the God of Life, one of the five Great God Kings.

He had not expected to be chosen by the Goddess of Life herself.

With a heart full of excitement, Ye Qingzhou spoke to the stunned Ye Shuyuan: "Grandfather, let's test my soul power."

He could not wait to know his Innate Soul Power.

Forget Innate Full Soul Power; he guaranteed that as long as he wasn't restricted by the plane's consciousness, he would definitely have Innate Transcendent Soul Power!

Having bathed in the divine light of life, one touched by the power of gods was simply different.

His entire being felt refreshed and invigorated.

Hearing Ye Qingzhou's voice, Ye Shuyuan snapped back to reality: "Right... right..."

He had lived for more than half his life and had witnessed countless martial soul awakening ceremonies, but this was the first time he had encountered such a unique situation with his own grandson.

Ye Shuyuan retrieved a pale blue crystal ball from his storage Soul Tool and handed it to Ye Qingzhou.

"Extend your hands, look at your palms..." Halfway through his sentence, Ye Shuyuan coughed, "Apologies, I got my lines mixed up."

Ye Lingling and Ye Qingzhou looked at their grandfather with strange expressions.

What kind of nonsense was he spouting again?

However, the first half of Ye Shuyuan's sentence felt inexplicably familiar to Ye Qingzhou.

He felt as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Ye Qingzhou stepped out of the hexagram formation, came before Ye Shuyuan, and placed his hands against the crystal ball.

Suddenly, Ye Qingzhou felt a force within his body being inexplicably absorbed, slipping away from him.

The crystal ball, absorbing the soul power from Ye Qingzhou's body, erupted with a dazzling blue light, and then...

Crack.

The crystal ball emitted a sound like a shattering mirror; it had broken.

It was both within reason and expected.

Looking at the crystal ball lying on the ground, Ye Qingzhou muttered to himself: "I wonder, just how many of these crystal balls have shattered since Douluo fanfiction began..."

Seeing this scene, Ye Shuyuan gasped, too excited to speak.

The crystal ball had exploded!

What did this signify?

Generally, a standard crystal ball could only measure soul power up to level ten, which was the limit of Innate Soul Power for people on the Douluo Continent.

Yet his grandson had actually caused the crystal ball to explode.

This meant that his grandson possessed Innate Transcendent Soul Power.

As far as he knew, since ancient times, the only ones born with Innate Transcendent Soul Power were those of the Qian family.

That child was also the one most likely to become the Angel God.

"My grandson has the makings of a god!" Subconsciously, almost instinctively, Ye Shuyuan blurted out those words in his excitement.

Becoming a god—what did that mean? It meant eternal life.

And with eternal life, there would be no need to worry about the Nine Heart Begonia lineage being passed down to only one person at a time; this problem would be resolved with Ye Qingzhou's ascension to godhood.

Thinking of this issue that had plagued their Ye family being solved, Ye Shuyuan burst into hearty laughter.

Even Ye Lingling and Ye Qingzhou were seeing their grandfather with such high spirits for the first time.

The potential to become a god.

The word "god" was far too distant for Ye Lingling; she didn't even dare to imagine it.

She looked at Ye Qingzhou, her eyes filled with an indescribable sense of envy.

At the very least, she no longer had to worry about her younger brother dying because of his martial soul, right?

As for becoming a god, perhaps he hadn't dared to think about it before, but today, as long as a god cast their gaze upon him, he would find a way to resolve the issue of his martial soul being passed down to only one descendant.

This was not just his own wish, but the long-held desire of the entire Ye family.

Ye Qingzhou said to Ye Shuyuan, "Grandfather, do you have a crystal ball to test for level twenty spirit power?"

His tone was exceptionally serious, so much so that it was the first time Ye Shuyuan had ever seen Ye Qingzhou look this way.

"Alright, never mind level twenty—I have crystal balls for level thirty, forty, and even fifty!"

As he spoke, Ye Shuyuan pulled a level twenty crystal ball from his robes.

Ye Qingzhou repeated his previous actions, and the crystal ball erupted with a blinding radiance that pierced through the entire medical clinic.

Ye Shuyuan and Ye Lingling hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands to avoid being blinded by the intense blue light.

This time, the crystal ball did not crack.

Innate spirit power, level twenty!

The only level twenty in the history of the Douluo Continent had been born right before his eyes, in their Ye family!

Their Ye family had produced a divine talent!

It was a divine talent bought with the sacrifices of countless ancestors!

With a soft crack, Ye Shuyuan fainted from sheer happiness.

"Grandfather!" Seeing Ye Shuyuan collapse, Ye Qingzhou and Ye Lingling rushed to his side to help him up.

God Realm.

God King of Destruction looked at the beauty in his arms and asked, "Xiao Lu, have you truly decided?"

God of Life lay peacefully in the arms of the God King of Destruction. She did not open her eyes, merely nodding gently, her voice soft.

"Mm, I have decided. This child perfectly matches my requirements for an heir. What about you, Xiao Zi?"

She and Destruction were husband and wife; if one left, the other would certainly follow.

Destruction replied, "What else can I do? I must hurry to choose a new heir and pass on my divine position."

"But how could an heir for my Destruction be found so easily?"

Even he had not expected his wife to find an heir before he did.

God of Life fell into a brief silence. That was true; people who possessed martial souls with the attribute of destruction were already rare, and combined with some of Xiao Zi's strict requirements, it was impossible to find a suitable successor in a short time.

One day in the heavens was a year on the ground; who knew how much time would pass before Xiao Zi found an heir.

Suddenly, God of Life thought of an excellent solution.
