World Seed

Douluo Continent.

Star Dou Great Forest, outer region.

In the vast, boundless forest, ancient trees grew lush and verdant.

A figure flashed leisurely, darting through the woods. Ahead of him, a terrifying Man Faced Demon Spider was fleeing frantically, heading deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

"The species on this continent are truly abundant. It seems that not only the gestation of the Dao Seed, but even the five poisons required to refine that system Body Tempering Pill Recipe can all be gathered here." Qin Chuan, dressed in white, wore a faint smile on his handsome face.

In 2005, the spiritual energy on Earth Star recovered, and those legendary historical sites entered the sight of countless people.

The reason he was able to transmigrate to this continent was because he had obtained a massive opportunity during the shift of eras—a system!

Transform Heavens into Self System

Host: Qin Chuan

Cultivation: Body Casting Realm Level 6 (Equivalent to Spirit Emperor ~ Spirit Saint in this world)

Skills: Meteor Fall, Mount Sumeru Buddha Fist.

Inventory: Body Tempering Pill Recipe, Random Teleportation Talisman x1, several packs of instant noodles...

[Side Quest: Find a suitable world, plant the World Seed, and officially initiate the system's main quest—The Path of Transforming Heavens!]

[Quest Reward: Three Random Teleportation Talismans! Three Innate Spiritual Roots!]

As the name suggests, the essence of this system was to allow him to become the master of a small world, walking the path of deriving the Heavenly Dao within his own body, and collecting opportunities from the myriad worlds...

Qin Chuan couldn't help but place his right hand over his chest. Within his body lay a special and extremely precious Dao Seed—the unsprouted World Seed.

This was a gift from the system, and it concerned whether he could unlock the system's main quest.

According to the system, once he found a suitable small world and planted the World Seed, the seed would assimilate the rules of that world, refining it into his own foundation, and he would become the external Heavenly Dao of that world.

The only problem now was how to choose a suitable target world. If the target world contained experts who were too strong, the Dao Seed might fail to assimilate the world and could instead be seized by the opponent.

"It's too early to talk about this. Exploring a world cannot be rushed, and besides, the system quest has no time limit." Qin Chuan shook his head and looked toward the frantically fleeing Man Faced Demon Spider.

"It's a bit weak, but I don't have to follow that pill recipe exactly. As long as this medicine can make my physical body undergo another transformation, it will be enough."

For Qin Chuan, finding the five poisons to refine ancient pills was just a matter of convenience.

He smiled continuously, looking somewhat dashing. The demon spider fleeing ahead was a rather fierce Man Faced Demon Spider of this area, but now it had been reduced to his prey.

Using the system's scanning function, the information on the Man Faced Demon Spider appeared.

[Race: Man Faced Demon Spider]

[Cultivation: 2,000 years]

There was no more information, but Qin Chuan didn't care, because he had already learned from passersby that a Spirit Saint was already considered a powerhouse on Douluo Continent.

As long as he didn't act too recklessly, he could basically walk sideways across the continent.

As for his own cultivation fluctuating between Spirit Emperor and Spirit Saint, that was normal. After all, how could one judge the strength between two systems based solely on realms? One still had to fight to know exactly where one's strength stood.

Its eight long legs, resembling war spears, strode forward at high speed. The aura of the Man Faced Demon Spider made countless spirit beasts tremble with fear and flee in collapse.

However, it was already on the verge of madness itself, barely able to catch its breath!

Its limited intelligence told it that the one chasing behind was just an ordinary human.

Yet, his pressure, like that of a god or demon, made it unable to breathe, and his terrifying power had almost hammered it to death in a single blow.

Qin Chuan remained relaxed, but the more he did so, the more fear the Man Faced Demon Spider felt. Every step he took seemed to tread on the edge of its despair, pushing it to the brink of collapse.

It had never encountered such a bizarre human!

His physical body was actually stronger than its own as a spirit beast.

"Roar!"

A Diamond Violent Bear suddenly rushed out from the nearby woods. Its dark yellow fur was as dense as blades. It didn't attack the Man Faced Demon Spider but instead roared and pounced toward Qin Chuan.

"Ugh, this stupid bear!" Qin Chuan cursed under his breath. Without even looking, he threw a punch. Surging blood energy erupted like a volcano; the power of a Body Casting Realm cultivator manifested in this world.

With a loud boom, the fist collided with the bear's claw. A massive dark golden figure was sent flying backward, snapping a giant tree directly as leaves fell in a rustle.

"Grew so big for nothing. With only this much power, it's not even as good as the demon beasts that have undergone three transformations on Earth Star." The fight with the Diamond Violent Bear left Qin Chuan feeling deeply disappointed.

This was already the boundary between the core area and the outer area of the forest, yet the spirit beasts were still incredibly weak, unable to withstand even five percent of his strength.

"The gap between each transformation in the Body Casting Realm is huge, directly adding a thousand catties of divine strength, and the effect on the body is the most intuitive. I wonder if I, having undergone six transformations, can go deeper into this forest?"

Qin Chuan thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to take the risk.

Exploration was of the utmost importance, but his own safety was even more critical.

He wasn't arrogant enough to provoke the forbidden zone of a world with only a Level 6 Body Casting Realm cultivation.

He walked over, stored the purple-glowing Diamond Violent Bear into his system inventory, and followed the tracks in the direction the Man Faced Demon Spider had fled.

From the moment he was intercepted by the Diamond Violent Bear to the end, not even a minute had passed.

In just a few breaths, the Man Faced Demon Spider had already escaped into the dense forest and disappeared.

Qin Chuan had been selecting this Man Faced Demon Spider for a long time, and its toxicity was similar to the Three Water Toad he had already caught, so he couldn't let it get away.

The Star Dou Great Forest is vast and boundless, home to a wide variety of soul beasts. It is famous throughout the Douluo Continent, a place that haunts the dreams of countless soul masters, yet it remains a terrifying forbidden zone.

Qin Chuan searched through the dense woods. During his trek, he encountered several thousand-year soul beasts, but after waving his hand to repel them, he finally sensed the aura of a Man Faced Demon Spider.

There are other human auras here, quite a few of them, and they are hunting the Man Faced Demon Spider. Qin Chuan frowned slightly; this was the prey he had set his sights on.

On a patch of verdant grass stood seven or eight figures. They were all young soul masters, and at this moment, they were in the midst of hunting the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"Third Brother, this Man Faced Demon Spider is perfect for your third soul ring. And luckily, this guy was actually wounded by someone else already. This is a real bargain for us," Oscar chuckled, his face beaming with delight.

Tang San smiled. "Regardless of who wounded it, the Man Faced Demon Spider is indeed very suitable for my third soul ring. Mubai, Fatty, go guard the spider's retreat path to prevent it from escaping..."

The Man Faced Demon Spider had already been severely wounded by Qin Chuan. Now, under the siege of the Shrek Academy geniuses, it had almost no strength to resist and quickly fell into a desperate situation.

Just as Tang San was methodically making arrangements to prepare for obtaining the soul ring, an ethereal voice suddenly rang out, as warm as the sunlight.

"I have been hunting this demon spider for a long time, but I lost its trail earlier. I wonder if you all could return it to me?"

The Shrek group turned to look upon hearing this.

Upon seeing the newcomer, they could not help but feel a sense of awe.

A man in white emerged from the distant woods. He was tall and slender, his white robes elegant, and his handsome face, appearing to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, carried a faint smile, giving him an otherworldly temperament.

"So handsome!"

The Shrek group was momentarily dazed. Even Ning Rongrong, who possessed a broad perspective, could not hide her surprise, a flush of red creeping onto her cheeks.

"Hiss..."

Seeing Qin Chuan, the Man Faced Demon Spider, whose strength was already nearly exhausted, began to struggle violently once more.

It spat out strands of highly toxic spider silk, nearly escaping from the group's encirclement.

"Hey, the Man Faced Demon Spider seems to be afraid of you?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, her beautiful eyes looking toward Qin Chuan, sparkling with inquiry.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and said, "This demon spider was wounded by me earlier, so it is only natural that it fears me."

"So that's how it is. You don't look much older than us, yet you were able to wound a Man Faced Demon Spider all by yourself. That's amazing!" Ning Rongrong said, her face full of admiration.

Seeing this scene, Tang San furrowed his brows. The Man Faced Demon Spider was the best choice for his third soul skill.

He could not help but speak up: "My friend, even if you were the one who wounded this Man Faced Demon Spider, we are the ones putting in the final effort. Furthermore, this spider is very suitable for me, so please forgive me, but I must ask you to go find another one."

"Exactly, exactly! This Man Faced Demon Spider is our prey. Besides, just based on his words, who knows if he really wounded it or not? Third Brother, Boss Dai, we cannot back down."

Ma Hongjun felt a sense of imbalance in his heart as he saw Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Chuan.

Ever since this proud little princess arrived at Shrek Academy, he and Oscar had never stopped trying to win her favor, and even though there had been some unpleasantness earlier, it had been resolved quickly.

Now, just because of some pretty boy with a few words, she had shifted her attention away. He could not tolerate this.

Tang San looked at the group. Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu stood behind him without hesitation, their intentions clear.

The others had no major objections either, and as the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, he said in a deep voice:

"There are many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and there should be plenty that suit you. Please leave now; I need to absorb my soul ring!"
