At this point, the memories finally came to an end.
What happened afterward had already been shown at the very beginning.
Huang Tian died in battle, and the women who loved him perished one by one. Even the Silver Dragon King resolutely gave up the hard-won chance to escape, choosing instead to self-destruct and take revenge on the Divine Realm.
The result was the destruction of the Divine Realm, which triggered a Space-Time Turbulence and reset the timeline.
The whole thing took less than two hours, a little shorter than a feature-length movie.
Yet it spanned more than thirty thousand years, laying out every important figure and event of the future, along with their corresponding points in time, causes, and consequences, in crystal-clear detail.
In a secluded space, Gu Yuena's eyelids fluttered. She slowly opened her eyes, and two rainbow-colored tears slipped from them.
Yet a faint smile played on her lips. Her expression was relaxed and peaceful, without a trace of violence or anger.
Death was certainly something worth grieving and suffering over. But if she died for the person she loved most, with a heart full of sincere love, perhaps that was a blessing in its own way.
And if she could live again, there was even less reason to brood over the past and wallow in self-pity.
Gu Yuena silently sorted through the important information in her memories, considering what she should do next.
She had not the slightest doubt that the memories were real. Not only were there no major flaws, but they were also far too easy to verify.
The Martial Souls alone would be difficult to fabricate, given the vast variety belonging to the many characters who would appear in the future.
Still, a host of questions continued to gather in Gu Yuena's mind.
For instance, at the beginning—and also at the end of the story—her self-destruction had caused widespread collapse in the Divine Realm. With her current strength, she should have been completely incapable of doing that.
Either Huang Tian had left something in reserve, or the Divine Realm had already been on the brink of collapse for some reason, or else the powers of the future would undergo a tremendous leap.
Another example: why hadn't she also passed along the most perfected and powerful version of the cultivation method Huang Tian would eventually develop?
Wouldn't that allow her, Xiao Tian, and the women who loved Xiao Tian to set their cultivation on the right path much sooner?
The Soul Spirit technology, Artificial Soul Ring technology, and calculations for Limit Soul Rings were also missing their detailed content.
Was it because she didn't want to restrict Huang Tian's thinking and creativity?
Or did Huang Tian have to develop and research all of these things himself in order to create his own godhood?
That did seem possible.
In Di Hun Village, at the farmhouse, Huang Tian had waited a full two hours without seeing any further response from the system. He was nearly asleep.
Just as he was feeling anxious, the virtual interface suddenly lit up on its own.
Like someone typing at a steady pace, one line of text after another appeared with unhurried calm.
[Gu Yuena's dream visit has ended] [Gu Yuena's Loyalty +99%] (Note 1: Before the final ritual is completed, the maximum normal limit is 99%) (Note 2: The more extreme the loyalty—whether higher or lower—the harder it is to change, whether increasing or decreasing it)
At the words "final ritual," Huang Tian froze for a moment. This ritual of yours—is it really proper?
Still, after seeing the memories of his past life, she hadn't even met him or verified whether they were true, and her loyalty had already soared straight to ninety-nine percent.
Could you expect any less from the famous love-struck heroine of the love-struck Douluo Continent?
To be honest, he was starting to fall for love-struck women. No, what the hell—he was into love-struck women. If they weren't love-struck, he wasn't interested.
The system continued displaying information, still leisurely.
[Gu Yuena's Loyalty is above 50%; the system determines that she has been initially conquered] [Gu Yuena's Loyalty is above 70%; the system determines that she has been formally conquered] [Gu Yuena's Loyalty is above 90%; the system determines that she has been completely conquered] Gu Yuena: "Charm": Maxed out (including appearance, figure, temperament, personality, special preferences, loyalty in love, and the host's aesthetic preferences) "Strength": God King "Potential": Supreme God King "Participation in the original story": Perfect score (the heroine of the third Douluo installment; appears in the second, fourth, and fifth) (Note: Participation in the original story represents a character's fortune) [Congratulations, host. You have achieved "Three-Ten-Thousand-Year-Older Woman Ascends to the Immortal Ranks"] [Congratulations, host. Achievement Points reward +10,010,000] [Current Achievement Points: 10,020,733]
When the last two lines appeared, the sheer length of the numbers made Huang Tian's heart pound wildly. He widened his eyes and counted them several times.
With each count, the corners of his mouth rose a little higher, until at last he could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.
"One, two, three... eight digits. Eight digits in all—that's the ten-million range."
"Two, four, six... still eight digits. Ten million! I got ten million in rewards?"
"Hahaha! Heaven never sends a man into the world without a use for him! I can wrench mountains aside and overwhelm the world! I'll laugh to the sky and stride through the gate! Even the Son of Heaven couldn't summon me aboard!"
"Awesome."
The system's Achievement Points had pretty decent purchasing power.
A basic Martial Soul, with one level of Innate Soul Power included, cost only ten thousand points. Intermediate Martial Souls cost thirty to a hundred thousand, high-tier ones a hundred to three hundred thousand, and top-tier Martial Souls over three hundred thousand.
With around one million at minimum, he could buy a Super Martial Soul with at least seven levels of Innate Soul Power.
And above three million, there was only one tier left, without a doubt: god-level. Even among god-level Martial Souls, ten million would get him something utterly monstrous.
Huang Tian had long since made plans for his two Martial Souls. His First Martial Soul would be the Blue Silver Grass inherited from his parents in this life. The system could keep adding points to it, evolving it into the Blue Silver King, then the Blue Silver Emperor, and eventually into the ultimate form of all life attributes: the Ancient Tree of Life.
He would focus on survival: piling on health, mana, recovery speed, resistance to abnormal status effects, and even a few extra lives.
The other Martial Soul would be his own body. No Martial Soul was better suited to learning, cultivating, and wielding... no, to founding the Martial Dao and creating his own Martial God godhood.
Besides that, Huang Tian had also designed his Second Martial Soul in a special way.
Across the five Douluo installments, several extremely unusual types of Martial Souls appeared in each one. These included Ultimate Martial Souls, corrupted Martial Souls, Mutated Martial Souls, human-shaped Martial Souls, deity Martial Souls, companion Martial Souls, External Beast Martial Souls,
and dual-purpose Martial Souls that could switch freely between Beast Martial Souls and Tool Martial Souls, among others.
By design, his body would be a companion Ultimate Martial Soul, with the soul as its companion. Each would possess a powerful Ultimate Attribute.
A companion Martial Soul was a special kind of Martial Soul made up of two or more components that occupied only one Martial Soul slot.
Each component of a companion Martial Soul could be used separately or together with the others. When combined, they were usually stronger than a single Martial Soul of the same quality.
As for an Ultimate Attribute, just as the name suggested, it was the ultimate form of its corresponding attribute. An Ultimate Ice Attribute could even reach absolute zero.
To complement and balance out life, Huang Tian had chosen destruction as his first Ultimate Attribute. Next came spirit—an attribute the companion soul could hardly do without.
That had only been the original plan. Now, of course, he wanted something stronger and more comprehensive.
In the dream he had given Gu Yuena, Huang Tian had deliberately avoided setting too many battle scenes. At the time, he had been considering that if his wallet was full, he might add even more traits and attributes.
