Deduction, Past and Future

At this moment, Tushan Mingheng looked at Tushan Jinci with a strange expression: "Why not use the most primitive method?"

"If he is truly of our Fox Clan, the Bloodline Technique will suffice."

If there is a connection, once the Bloodline Technique is activated, the blood of the two individuals will naturally fuse together.

Hearing this, Tushan Jinci clapped his hands in sudden realization: "Right! How could I have forgotten the Bloodline Technique?"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Many thanks, Lord Mingheng, sorry to have disturbed you!"

As the words fell, a streak of red light flashed, and the Fire Fox vanished from the spot.

"..."

After the fox left, Tushan Mingheng sighed, closed the door, and took out his Divination Compass.

He saw that the compass, which usually shimmered with spiritual light, was now covered in fine, dense cracks.

Is my cultivation not enough? Why would I suffer a backlash from divining that person...

This was something that had never happened in over ten thousand years...

Just then, a brilliant nine-colored stream of light suddenly descended upon Tushan Mingheng.

A cold yet gentle female voice rang out: "A-Heng, I have come to lend you a hand."

Hearing this, Tushan Mingheng trembled all over and immediately spoke anxiously to the void: "My King?! How can you expend your power like this?!"

"Do you not know that you are still sealed? This does you no good..."

Damn it! The seal trapping his King was draining her power every single moment.

If he could see that beast one day, he would surely strip its tendons, break its bones, and flay its skin!

"It is no matter. Begin; this is my command."

"From the first moment I saw him, I felt an inexplicable sensation from the depths of fate."

"..."

"This subordinate... obeys."

Tushan Mingheng sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, eight golden fox tails swayed, and a massive magic array rose beneath his feet.

Following that, countless array nodes lit up one after another, their points of light connecting until they formed a small, starry sky in the blink of an eye.

"Starry sky, I beseech you, show me his past..."

But just then—

"嗡--!!!"

As a blinding white light flooded his entire field of vision, Tushan Mingheng opened his eyes to find himself in an entirely unfamiliar world.

He looked around at the scenery in confusion, then exclaimed in surprise: "This is... Douluo Continent?"

Indeed, with the blessing of the King's Nine-Tail Power, he could now successfully divine and deduce Cen Yu's fate.

He just hadn't expected that his previous inability to divine Cen Yu was simply because his own power was insufficient. That was truly absurd...

"However..."

Soon, Tushan Mingheng's attention returned to this continent.

"The aura of this world seems very withered, far weaker than what I remember from the past."

"I wonder if it was caused by that great war, or if something else happened to Douluo Continent later to bring it to such a state."

Just as Tushan Mingheng was pondering, two figures slowly walked into his field of vision.

They were a young man and woman.

The woman's lower abdomen was visibly swollen; clearly, she was pregnant.

Yet, despite what should have been a joyous occasion, her brows were furrowed with worry.

She turned her head to look at the man beside her and said anxiously: "Tell me... what should we do about our child?"

"You know that I am not a human like you, nor a Soul Beast, but of the Fox-human race."

"Douluo Continent has no ancestral lands for the Fox Clan, and even now, my bloodline has yet to awaken."

"Because of this, even after cultivating for so many years, I am only at the level of a Soul Ancestor."

"I am so afraid that our child will end up just like me..."

If her child inherited her bloodline, wouldn't they be destined to walk a path of wasted potential for an entire lifetime?

Hearing this, the man immediately reached out and pulled the woman into a tight embrace, then whispered soothingly: "Do not be afraid."

"I will cultivate with all my might and climb step by step."

"Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint—even if it takes reaching Soul Douluo or Title Douluo, I believe I will reach it sooner or later."

"When that time comes, with me here, no one will be able to bully you and our child."

"No matter the talent of our child or whether their bloodline awakens, I will be able to firmly support them throughout their life."

Seeing this, Tushan Mingheng nodded thoughtfully: "It seems these are his parents—one an ordinary human, the other a descendant of the Fox Clan with an unusual bloodline."

However, which branch of the Fox Clan could this be? He felt as though he had sensed this aura of bloodline before...

Soon, the surrounding scenery began to flash by like a revolving lantern.

In the blink of an eye, the woman and her six-year-old child arrived at a desolate mountain.

The woman then pulled a few ancient-looking stones from her pocket and arranged them neatly on the ground.

Once finished, she whispered to the boy beside her: "Son, Mommy is going to help you awaken your Martial Soul now, so don't be afraid."

Hearing this, the boy nodded vigorously.

"I'm not afraid, Mommy."

Is it finally time to awaken my Martial Soul?! I've been waiting for six years!

I just wonder, what kind of Martial Soul will I awaken? As a transmigrator, I should at least get some special treatment, right?

"Oh, by the way, Mommy, is Daddy still not back? Today is the day of my awakening, you know?"

Hearing this, the woman smiled and said: "Your father went to hunt for his fifth Spirit Ring with a team; he should be back in a few days."

"Are you excited, son? When Daddy returns, our family will have a Spirit King."

The boy nodded hard: "Then hurry and awaken my Martial Soul, Mommy. I want to be just as strong as Daddy when I grow up."

Thinking of this, he stood obediently in the center of the awakening stones, closing his eyes in anticipation as he waited for the moment of awakening.

After this, he would be a true Spirit Master!

As long as he could step onto the path of cultivation, everything in the future would be full of promise.

Seeing this, the woman smiled with gratification and immediately channeled her own spirit power.

In an instant, wisps of pearlescent light flowed from her hands and poured entirely into the awakening stones on the ground.

The next second, the stones flared with light, and an indescribable aura instantly enveloped the boy standing in the center.

What is this feeling? It's so strange...

"Ah--!!!"

Suddenly, a soul-tearing pain struck him. Before the boy could even think, he clutched his head in agony.

What... is this?!

It was at this very moment—

"BOOM--!!!"

With a deafening roar, a brilliant, dazzling pillar of golden light surged into the sky, piercing the firmament in the blink of an eye.

Under its influence, the ordinary clear sky instantly turned into a sea of blinding gold.

Following this, wave after wave of golden mist spread outward, accompanied by a powerful shockwave.

Amidst the churning mist, a divine, auspicious, and compassionate figure slowly emerged.

This was none other than the Miao Shi Heavenly Maiden!
