It's Not You Who's Wrong, It's This World

Time ticked away, second by second, in the silence of waiting.

Suddenly, under the shocked gazes of Bibi Dong and the others, Cen Yu flew into the air alongside the World-Ending Heavenly Mother.

At the same time, an invisible, murderous aura enveloped them.

In the blink of an eye, a blood-red mist surged forth, directly sealing off a five-hundred-meter radius centered on Cen Yu.

Yue Guan said in shock, "This is... a domain?!"

"Is this child really that heaven-defying? He even has a domain."

As expected of a god-level martial soul; I'm truly envious.

If only I had such talent back in the day... sigh.

Gui Mei punched him speechlessly, "How could a martial soul like this not have a domain?"

A moment later, the mist dissipated, and Cen Yu turned in the air, landing lightly back on the ground.

"How was it? Was it cool?"

"..."

Bibi Dong, who had just been about to speak, twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at the guy in front of her with a complex expression.

She had just wanted to ask if the kid felt any physical discomfort, but now she had lost all interest in asking.

Who did he learn this from? Isn't he a bit too narcissistic?

Yue Guan coughed lightly to smooth things over for his leader, "Xiao Yu, was that your innate domain? What are its effects? And what is your first soul skill?"

Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Cen Yu's eyes.

Finally, he asked!

He said with a smug look, "Ahem! My innate domain is called 'Hundred-Day Floating World Web'."

"Within the domain, I can become immune to all negative status effects and seal the martial soul characteristics of everyone inside."

"And as my strength improves, I can also drag enemies into an illusion, forcing them to experience an endless cycle of reincarnation~"

Hundred-Day Floating World Web, one could also call it the Hundred-Life Cycle~

An endless reincarnation in a hellish illusion filled with fear~ just thinking about it is exciting!

Watching Cen Yu get more and more excited as he spoke, the three people nearby were left in disarray.

Bibi Dong even began to wonder what kind of creature she had brought back.

Judging by the way this kid was acting, he was actually more bloodthirsty... er, evil, than she, the successor of the Rakshasa God.

Immediately after, they saw Cen Yu raise his hand abruptly, gripping a weapon identical to the spear held by the World-Ending Heavenly Mother.

"As for this first soul ring, it didn't give me a soul skill, but it did grant me a means of combat."

As he spoke, Cen Yu curled his lips and thrust his hand toward Bibi Dong.

"Master, come and test my strength!"

Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly and lightly blocked the incoming spear with the Pope Scepter in her hand.

This kid is certainly confident, but he only just obtained his first...

"Bang--!"

Suddenly, a massive force slammed into the Pope Scepter.

"Crack--"

"What?!" Bibi Dong was forced back two steps, staring in bewilderment at the cracked scepter in her hand.

How is this possible?! This scepter had been passed down through generations of Martial Soul Hall and couldn't be easily damaged even by a Titled Douluo; how did Cen Yu manage it?

On the other side, Cen Yu retreated, looking at the spear in his hand with some regret.

It seemed he was still too weak; even without Bibi Dong activating her martial soul, he had only managed to push her back two steps.

Little did he know, the scene that had just unfolded was, in the eyes of Gui Mei and Yue Guan, nothing short of terrifying.

A child who had just obtained his first soul ring could actually shake a Titled Douluo?

Even if the Pope hadn't been serious, this was already astonishing enough.

Cen Yu looked at their reactions and said with a face full of smiles, "I am a genius, after all. This is only the beginn--"

"Apologies, Master. This disciple has offended you."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong and the others were stunned.

It wasn't until they noticed the red in Cen Yu's eyes turn to gold that they realized he had switched personalities.

Bibi Dong sighed, "It's fine, I don't blame you."

These two people... no, these two personalities are truly different; one is so well-behaved, while the other is like a world-wrecking demon king.

"By the way, Xiao Yu, how many years of cultivation do you intend to absorb for your second soul ring?"

"How about three thousand years? The energy within a soul beast of too high an age will be even more immense; it is best not to have too large a span."

"Hmm... four thousand years, Master." Cen Yu thought for a moment and said to Bibi Dong, "I can absorb the soul ring within my domain."

"With the support of a domain, absorbing a four-thousand-year soul ring will not be a problem."

If he wanted to attempt absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his third soul ring, then the age of his first two soul rings could not be too low.

Four thousand years was just about right; there would be no risk of his body exploding or the absorption failing.

Bibi Dong nodded and looked toward Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were standing to the side.

Receiving their leader's gaze, the two immediately saluted and then set off to find a soul beast that met the criteria.

After the two left, Bibi Dong sat down beside Cen Yu and began to re-examine this newly accepted disciple of hers.

Come to think of it, she had spent more time with that little brat and had not yet truly understood this current personality.

Cen Yu felt a bit unnerved by her gaze and asked in confusion, "Master, is there something on my face? Or is something the matter?"

"It's nothing, I was just wondering what your past life was like. Tell me about it."

"Hmm... my life, you say..."

Come to think of it, it had been over six years since Cen Yu transmigrated into this world.

He did not remember how he had died, only that by the time he regained consciousness, he was already over two years old.

Compared to the years spent as a lonely orphan in his past life, Cen Yu preferred these few years in this world.

"Actually, my past was just some very ordinary daily life."

"But to me, it was already very happy."

"Ever since I can remember, Mom and Dad loved me very much, and everyone in the village took good care of me, just like a family."

Speaking of this, Cen Yu lowered his eyes, feeling a bit sad: "But I was the one who harmed them..."

"If it weren't for me, Dad would have absorbed the spirit bone on the spot, and it wouldn't have been exposed, nor would it have invited that disaster."

It was the same in his past life... could it be that this was his fate?

"Master, do you think I have the destiny of a lone star of ill omen? Why is it that the people around me all..."

Bibi Dong realized she had spoken out of turn; she pulled Cen Yu into her arms and gently patted his back.

"Do not put pressure on yourself. It is not you who is wrong, but this world."

"No matter where you are, the law of the jungle is the rule of the world."

"If you want to change all of this, make yourself stronger. The day you are strong enough, you will be able to rewrite the rules of this world."

She looked at the child in her arms and asked, "Do you know why all the fallen ones in the world fear Martial Soul Hall?"

Cen Yu gave a soft hum: "I know."

"Because Martial Soul Hall upholds justice and is powerful enough—powerful enough to judge all the evil in this world."

At least the Angel Clan upholds justice.
