Absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Having a God-King Mom Is Too Awesome!

"Yuan'er, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

The Goddess of Life waved her jade-like hand in front of Gu Linyuan's eyes.

Her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Gu Linyuan, unwilling to move away for even a moment.

No matter how she looked at her own child, it was never enough.

"Mom, the one you mentioned seems to be Tang San's mother, Ah Yin."

After thinking about it, Gu Linyuan understood what plant containing the power of life the Goddess of Life was referring to.

Wildfires cannot destroy all the grass; the spring breeze brings it back to life.

Although Blue Silver Grass was weak, it embodied the essence of life.

Thinking about it this way, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass should have followed the path of the life element rather than the control element, which had greatly lowered the upper limit this Martial Soul should have possessed.

"Tang San?"

Hearing that name, the Goddess of Life's expression grew solemn.

Judging from the restrictions she had undone, she and Xiao Zi seemed to have been thoroughly harmed by this person named Tang San.

Especially Xiao Zi. It was the first time she had ever seen him in such a miserable state.

"That Blue Silver Emperor was actually Tang San's mother? Isn't that perfect?"

"Yuan'er, you want to undergo trials on this continent. Sooner or later, you won't be able to avoid competing with Tang San. If he dares bully you, just have Ah Yin teach him a good lesson."

The Goddess of Life covered her mouth and laughed when she imagined that scene.

No matter how powerful Tang San would become tens of thousands of years later, right now he was merely a weak Soul Master.

Once she became wary of him, she absolutely would not let Tang San grow to that level.

Therefore, she did not take it too seriously.

Come to think of it, she even had to thank Tang San. If not for him, how could she and Xiao Zi possibly have their own child?

Since Yuan'er wanted to remain on this continent for his trials, all the treasures in this world would belong to him. The resources here were no longer enough to nurture a second existence at the God King level.

"Ah, this..."

Thinking of that scene, Gu Linyuan could not help wanting to laugh as well.

However, the Goddess of Life still did not understand men.

Having Ah Yin teach Tang San a lesson would only make Tang San furious.

If Tang San dared to provoke him in the future, he would bully Ah Yin. That would be the true finishing blow.

To Tang San, it would be the miserable feeling of a cuckold encountering a homewrecker, unable to do anything despite having the strength.

"Mom, with me here, Tang San absolutely won't be able to grow up. My strength is enough to suppress him."

Gu Linyuan spoke seriously.

Previously, although he possessed two God King-level Martial Souls, the Sources of Life and Destruction had been in a state of mutual torment, making cultivation completely impossible.

However, after his epiphany some time ago, both the Tree of Life and the Scepter of Destruction had been refined, allowing the two forces to coexist peacefully within his body.

Now, he no longer needed to take Tang San seriously.

"That is true."

The Goddess of Life smiled radiantly.

Even if Gu Linyuan really were a good-for-nothing, she and Ah Zi could still help him become a god.

At worst, she could simply give her Life Godhood to Yuan'er.

However, it seemed that Yuan'er's talent far exceeded her imagination.

He could use the powers of life and Destruction simultaneously, and she understood very well what that meant.

When life and Destruction were combined, they possessed enough power to create the world.

Gu Linyuan possessed both of them, so his future achievements might even surpass those of the Dragon God.

This was also one of the reasons the Goddess of Life had agreed to let Gu Linyuan remain on the Douluo Continent.

It was better for Gu Linyuan to walk his own path than for them to arrange a godhood for him.

"Right."

The Goddess of Life suddenly remembered something, and her green eyes lit up.

"Yuan'er, you should need to absorb your second Soul Ring now, right?"

Gu Linyuan nodded.

He did indeed need a second Soul Ring to break through his bottleneck.

"Then wait here. I'll go catch one for you."

As the Goddess of Life spoke, her entire body vanished instantly.

There was no sound of wind or flash of light. It was as if she had never existed.

Gu Linyuan did not even have time to react before the Goddess of Life had disappeared.

In less than a few breaths.

A flash of green light swept past, and the Goddess of Life reappeared before Gu Linyuan.

In her hand, she was actually holding a massive creature.

It was a bear.

Its entire body was covered in dark golden fur, each strand as hard as a steel needle.

It stood more than five meters tall, its four limbs as thick as thousand-year-old trees. Most terrifying of all were its front paws. Two sharp claws curved like sabers, their dark golden gleam flashing with a chilling edge beneath the moonlight.

A Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

Gu Linyuan's pupils contracted sharply.

This was one of the most terrifying Soul Beasts on land, renowned for its frightening strength and destructive power.

An adult Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear even dared to clash head-on with a giant dragon.

The protagonists of several Douluo Continent installments had absorbed Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears as Soul Rings and Soul Bones, proving just how valuable this Soul Beast was!

And the one before him...

Its aura was deep as an abyss, and its entire body radiated a ferocious might that could only be accumulated over countless years.

Ten thousand years.

This was a Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

"Mom... this is ten thousand years old?"

Gu Linyuan swallowed.

"Mm, a little over twelve thousand years."

The Goddess of Life spoke casually, as if what she had caught were not a ten-thousand-year-old beast but a docile little rabbit.

"The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear is of extremely high quality. It should be one of the most suitable types of Soul Beasts for you to absorb, Yuan'er."

Gu Linyuan looked at the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, which had been carried in his mother's hand and was now completely unconscious. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

Its combat power was not even inferior to that of some Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

"Can I absorb a Soul Ring with such a high cultivation age?"

He asked uncertainly.

His Soul Power was only at level twenty. According to common sense, he could absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring at most.

A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring was a domain that only Spirit Kings could touch.

Absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as his second ring—wasn't that bullying the geniuses of this world a little too much?

"Silly child."

The Goddess of Life reached out and rubbed his head, her smile gentle and indulgent.

"With Mom here, of course you can absorb it."

Her tone was as casual as if she were saying that the weather was nice today.

"Actually, if I weren't worried that you would grow too quickly and leave your foundation unstable, I could even let you absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring directly."

"But for us, the cultivation age of the Soul Beast being absorbed isn't important. The quality of the Soul Beast is the key. As for the cultivation age of your Soul Rings, once your cultivation grows, Xiao Zi and I will bless you. By then, none of your Soul Rings will be below a hundred thousand years."

Gu Linyuan took a deep breath and nodded.

With his mother here, he had nothing to fear.

He had to admit, having a God King for a mother was awesome.

The Goddess of Life placed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear on the ground and gently waved her jade-like hand. A green light enveloped Gu Linyuan.

That was the power of the Source of Life.

"Begin," she said softly. "Mom is here. I won't let you suffer even a little."

Gu Linyuan sat down cross-legged and released the Scepter of Destruction Martial Soul.

The pitch-black scepter appeared in his hand, the dark red gem at its tip glowing faintly beneath the moonlight.

He urged his Soul Power, guiding the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's soul power, which was about to dissipate.

Dark golden motes of light drifted out from the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's corpse and slowly gathered.

A black Soul Ring appeared before Gu Linyuan.

Black.

A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Gu Linyuan took a deep breath and moved his mind.

The black Soul Ring slowly floated toward the Scepter of Destruction and then fused into it.

There was none of the pain he had expected.

There was no agonizing pain from ruptured meridians, no collapse from shattered bones, and no struggle through a blurred consciousness.

The instant the black Soul Ring touched the Scepter of Destruction, the green light surrounding Gu Linyuan suddenly brightened.

The power of the Source of Life was like the gentlest embrace, layer by layer wrapping the violent energy of the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring and guiding it into his body bit by bit.

The entire process proceeded smoothly.

It was like a stream flowing toward the sea, like a leaf falling toward the earth.

Natural, smooth, without the slightest obstruction.

Gu Linyuan could even sense that the power of the Source of Life was not merely protecting him. It was also helping him understand the essence of this Soul Ring.
