10,000 Years Later: The Sun Moon Empire's Lin Qing's Urn?

Two years ago.

Lin Qing arrived in Suotuo City.

He did not go to Notting Academy, nor did he join the Martial Soul Hall.

Instead, he chose a third path: striking out on his own.

In Suotuo City, he established two identities for himself.

The first was "True Lord Erlang" of the Great Soul Arena.

A twelve-year-old boy with a "Spirit Eye" martial soul—used, of course, as a disguise.

He used his first soul skill to conceal his Heavenly Eye martial soul.

He used this identity to earn money, build a reputation, and incidentally, hone his combat skills.

The second was his current appearance as an eight-year-old boy.

His features were plain and entirely unremarkable.

He used this for daily life to avoid attracting attention.

Especially to avoid being targeted by that old pervert, Viscount Priest.

Lin Qing had not forgotten the lessons from the parallel world.

That guy had a penchant for good-looking young boys.

If he didn't disguise this face of his, he would definitely be targeted.

If he were to be targeted, the trouble would be immense.

Therefore, he had kept his profile as low as possible over these past two years.

Aside from going to the Great Soul Arena to compete, he basically stayed holed up in his small courtyard to cultivate.

However, he had still managed to gather the information he needed.

Lin Qing walked out of the alley and merged into the flow of people on the street, silently organizing the intelligence in his mind.

Viscount Priest was one of the many nobles in Suotuo City, though he belonged to the weakest tier.

Aside from a few Soul Ancestor guards, the strongest in the family was Viscount Priest himself, a level 32 battle Soul Elder.

His strength was not considered high, but Lin Qing had no intention of making a move just yet.

There is still a gap between a one-ring soul master and a Soul Elder. Even if I can use illusions to ambush people, my frontal combat power is insufficient. I must wait a little longer.

He would wait until his strength was greater, or until a suitable opportunity arose.

Beyond planning to fulfill the dying wish of the six-year-old Lin Qing to take revenge, Lin Qing had not been idle these past two years.

His soul power naturally did not lag behind, steadily rising to level 20, while his mental power grew rapidly under the nourishment of the Gold of Life.

This was the source of his confidence in using illusions to toy with Soul Grand Masters.

He made his way back to the small rented courtyard.

It was a secluded property in the southeast district of Suotuo City.

It was not large, but its virtue lay in its tranquility.

Lin Qing pushed open the courtyard gate, stepped inside, and locked it behind him.

"Hum!"

A familiar vibration occurred without warning.

Lin Qing felt a sudden intuition and walked into the guest room.

There, resting on the wooden table, was a familiar black urn.

The familiar style, the familiar eerie sensation, and the portrait painted on the lid.

The portrait depicted a twelve-year-old boy with black hair and blue eyes, wearing a peculiar silver-white uniform.

One could vaguely see the shadow of Lin Qing in the brows, but the temperament was entirely different.

It was calmer, sharper.

The eyes radiated the unique, rational glow of a top-tier science and engineering student.

"!!!"

Lin Qing's expression was one of wild joy.

It's here, it's finally here! The urn has finally arrived!

The urn he hadn't seen in two years had finally reappeared.

It had truly kept him waiting for a long time.

[Ding!]

The cold system prompt exploded in his mind.

[Relic of "Sun Moon Lin Qing" received!]

[Would you like to view the last words immediately?]

Lin Qing was stunned.

"Sun Moon Lin Qing?"

This name was somewhat strange.

Could it be just to distinguish him from the previous two?

Lin Qing shook his head.

"No time to worry about that, show me everything you have at once!"

The next second.

The light and shadow before his eyes shifted.

The video of the last words slowly unfolded.

[My name is Lin Qing, a reincarnated transmigrator who arrived in the world of Douluo Continent. At the age of six, I awakened the "Heavenly Eye" martial soul, with an Innate Soul Power of level eight.]

Familiar last words, a familiar start.

Up to this point, everything was not much different from the previous last words.

Lin Qing was already prepared to hear the options of "joining Martial Soul Hall" or "going to Notting Academy."

However.

[I was in the Sun Moon Empire. Because I possessed a mental-type martial soul and outstanding talent, I was scouted by the Sun Moon Royal Academy and admitted as an exception, joining the Sun Moon Royal Academy.]

"???"

Lin Qing in reality was dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the magnificent academy in the light and shadow projection, filled with a sense of technology and metallic texture.

And the uniquely styled silver-white uniforms worn by the students there.

"What the hell? Am I dreaming or hallucinating?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but doubt himself.

It was only because what was said in the last words was too inconceivable.

Sun Moon Royal Academy, wasn't that... wasn't that the highest institution of the Sun Moon Empire during the Peerless Tang Sect era ten thousand years later?

How could it appear here?!

How could the Lin Qing of this parallel world have joined the Sun Moon Royal Academy?

Wait.

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

"Sun Moon Lin Qing, the relic name is 'Sun Moon Lin Qing'... could it be..."

He gasped, his pupils contracting violently as an absurd possibility surfaced in his mind.

"This parallel world version of me is not from the Douluo Continent timeline, but from the timeline of the Sun Moon Empire that existed during the Peerless Tang Sect era ten thousand years later!"

This speculation made Lin Qing's heart race wildly.

If this were true, the value of this relic would be immense!

Others might not know, but he was well aware of the extent to which the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool technology had developed ten thousand years later.

That was a terrifying existence capable of going head-to-head with traditional soul masters through technology!

Fixed-load soul cannons, level ten Soul Tools... taking out just one of these would be a dimensional strike in this current era!

"If this Lin Qing learned Soul Tool technology at the Sun Moon Royal Academy... could his relic contain knowledge of Soul Tools? Blueprints? Or even finished products?"

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Qing's breathing became rapid.

He stared fixedly at the urn on the table, as if it didn't contain ashes, but a treasure trove!

This thought made Lin Qing's fingers tremble with excitement.

After the initial excitement, Lin Qing couldn't wait to continue watching the video of the last words.

He desperately wanted to know what this parallel self from ten thousand years in the future had experienced and what kind of legacy he had left behind.

[After joining the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, I began basic and systematic learning.]

In the image, the youth wore a silver-white uniform, sitting in a bright classroom.

On the blackboard were drawn complex Soul Tool circuit diagrams.

The teacher stood at the podium, their voice clear and serious.

"Soul Tools are special devices that use soul power as energy."

"Their core lies in the soul tool circuit, the energy channel that converts soul power into specific effects."

"Today, we will learn the circuit design for the most basic lighting Soul Tool."

The youth took notes earnestly, his gaze focused.

[I had many ideas at the very beginning.]

The narrator's voice rang out, carrying a hint of reminiscence.

[I know this is the world of the Peerless Tang Sect ten thousand years later, and I also know that there are countless opportunities on the Douluo Continent.]

In the dormitory late at night.

Sun Moon Lin Qing lay sprawled over his desk, a crudely hand-drawn map spread out before him.

Several locations were marked on it: Star Dou Great Forest, Far North, Shrek Academy... and so on.

[Huo Yuhao's two major cheats, the million-year soul beast Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Holy Necromancer, Scourge of the Undead, Electrolux, are right there in the Star Dou Great Forest.]
