"You are..."
A startled voice sounded through the valley. The Blue Silver Grass on the ground parted swiftly, forming a narrow path.
At the end of the path stood a Blue Silver Grass plant several people tall, its azure leaves threaded with golden veins.
A 190,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor!
Swish! Swish, swish!
The Blue Silver Emperor's vines coiled together. In an instant, they formed a human face.
"Your aura... Could you be...? No, that's impossible."
The Blue Silver Emperor stared at Ah Yin, disbelief spreading across her enormous vine-woven face as she muttered to herself.
That bloodline aura belonged to only one being. But hadn't the Blue Silver Empress ascended to the Divine Realm years ago?
"It's me! My master and I have come to offer you an opportunity!"
Ah Yin nodded with a smile. She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, then stepped respectfully behind Jiang Yi and explained softly.
She had none of her original self's memories, but her inherited bloodline gave her a vague sense of who she was.
She felt no real connection to that identity, though. Her original self had given her considerable freedom, making her almost an independent being.
Nearby, Meng Hongchen watched the newly arrived Ah Yin with nothing but curiosity, studying the older woman.
So this is Jiang Yi's ninth soul ring? She's actually a plant Soul Beast... She's so beautiful! She kind of feels like a mother.
Maybe there's another pair to root for...
Unlike the carefree Meng Hongchen, Tang Ya stared at Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor in shock.
"Two... two Blue Silver Emperors..."
Tang Ya's eyes widened. She pressed her red lips together, her gaze darting between Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor.
There's no mistake!
*My bloodline is telling me they're both Blue
