A Lifetime's Effort, the Sun Moon Twin Coexistence Soul Guidance Device!

"Indeed, your grandfather did not handle this well."

Kong Deming sighed softly, his voice tinged with a hint of guilt.

"Ever since you were born, I have poured all my energy into the research of soul guidance devices, rarely sparing a thought for you. Looking back now, I have truly owed you much."

He reached out and gently patted Xu Tianyao on the shoulder.

"Tianyao, you are my grandson, and I am your grandfather. We are family; there is no need to be so formal in the future."

As he said this, Kong Deming's tone shifted. Whether he was trying to make amends or driven by some other motive, his gaze gradually grew serious.

"Tianyao, the reason I came out of seclusion early this time is precisely to help you resolve the issue of being unable to cultivate your Sun Moon Martial Soul simultaneously."

"Since everything has been explained to you, come with me."

"I am going to show you something."

Kong Deming knew very well.

For a child whose precocity bordered on the monstrous, empty talk of family affection held little meaning.

Some things cannot be mended with a few words of concern.

What truly bridges the distance between people is always concrete action.

And right now, helping Xu Tianyao resolve the greatest flaw of his twin martial souls was undoubtedly the most valuable thing he could do.

Hearing these words, Xu Tianyao felt a sudden surge of joy.

The heart that had been hanging in his chest finally settled for the most part.

As expected, since Kong Deming dared to summon him, it meant he already had a solution.

Following that, Xu Tianyao walked behind Kong Deming, heading deep into the laboratory.

Xu Tianyao finally had the opportunity to get to know this soul guidance laboratory that belonged entirely to Kong Deming.

And it was this look that truly opened his eyes.

He had originally thought the outer area was vast enough, but only after venturing deep inside did he realize that this underground experimental base was far more magnificent than he had imagined.

Wide metal corridors extended downward, layer after layer.

Bright soul guidance lamps were embedded on both sides of the walls, illuminating the entire passage as if it were broad daylight.

From time to time, one could see soul guidance instruments with complex structures and unknown purposes scattered about.

This place did not look like an ordinary laboratory; it was more like a kingdom of soul guidance hidden beneath the earth.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Kong Deming finally stopped in front of a heavy metal door.

This door was several meters high, engraved with dense, intricate soul guidance patterns. A single glance was enough to instill a sense of intense oppression.

Kong Deming took a disc-shaped soul guidance device from his robes and pressed it against the center of the door.

With a soft hum, the entire door seemed to come to life.

Countless soul guidance patterns lit up simultaneously, and blue-gold light spread like flowing water.

Immediately after, accompanied by a low mechanical roar, the heavy door slowly opened to both sides.

A dull sound echoed in the chamber as the door to the secret room slowly swung open.

The scene behind the door finally came into Xu Tianyao's view.

The entire secret room was incredibly spacious, devoid of mountains of experimental data or a dazzling array of soul guidance devices.

There was only one thing inside—a soul guidance apparatus so massive it was staggering.

It was a giant metal ring with a diameter of over ten meters.

Countless precise soul guidance patterns covered its surface, intersecting and connecting to form a vast and complex energy network.

A specially crafted chair was suspended in the center of the ring.

At the top and bottom ends of the ring, two crystals of starkly different colors were embedded.

One was crimson like fire, the other deep blue like the sea.

The two colors reflected off each other, as if the sun and the moon were hanging in the sky at the same time.

Just standing at the doorway and taking a look brought an unprecedented sensation to Xu Tianyao.

He couldn't help but hold his breath.

Could this... be the device Kong Deming had spent decades of his life's work creating specifically for the Sun Moon twin martial souls?

Before he could even ask, Kong Deming began to introduce it himself.

His gaze fell upon the giant ring, and his aged face revealed an unconcealable pride and sense of accomplishment.

"Tianyao."

"This soul guidance device is the culmination of my life's work."

"In my heart, it holds the same status as the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield."

"In a sense, this is the gift I truly intended to leave for the Empire."

As he spoke, Kong Deming walked slowly to the side of the device, reaching out to stroke the cold metal ring with a gaze so fervent it was as if he were looking at his own child.

"Its name is the Sun-Moon Dual Coexistence Device."

He then picked up a palm-sized ring from the console beside him.

The ring was crafted entirely from intertwined red and blue metals.

Sun patterns and moon motifs were woven together, appearing both exquisite and mysterious.

"And this is its core auxiliary component."

"For short, the Sun Moon Ring."

Kong Deming walked up to Xu Tianyao and personally placed the Sun Moon Ring around his neck.

He cautioned, "Once it activates, it will be responsible for linking your body to the entire device."

As he spoke, Kong Deming pointed toward the seat in the center of the ring.

"Tianyao, go over and sit down, then fasten the safety belt."

"After that, press the activation button on the Sun Moon Ring."

"From then on, do exactly as I say."

Seeming to worry that Xu Tianyao might be nervous, Kong Deming added, "Rest assured. Your grandfather would never harm you."

Yet, despite these words, Xu Tianyao could still sense the urgency in Kong Deming's accelerating speech.

It was the feeling of a scholar who, after decades of research, had finally reached the moment to verify his results.

Excitement, anticipation, and even a hint of trepidation.

Xu Tianyao walked slowly to the seat, looking at the massive and mysterious device before him.

He lowered his head to touch the Sun Moon Ring around his neck.

His heart was a complex mix of emotions; he truly could not imagine it.

That the Sun Moon Empire of this era could already manufacture such an advanced soul guidance device.

This level of technology, placed across the entire Douluo Continent, could be described as a dimensional strike.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Tianyao sat in the chair.

Click. The safety belt on the seat locked automatically.

Following Kong Deming's instructions, he pressed the activation button on the Sun Moon Ring.

The next second, a low, heavy roar suddenly erupted.

The entire ring began to rotate slowly.

At first, the speed was sluggish, but as energy continued to pour in, the rotation accelerated rapidly.

The crimson crystal at the top and the deep blue crystal at the bottom of the ring lit up simultaneously.

Dazzling red and blue light transformed into two torrents of energy, surging and flowing along countless soul guidance circuits.

From a distance, it looked as if a scorching sun and a Bright Moon Martial Soul had been awakened at the same time.

The red and blue radiance intertwined, bathing the entire secret chamber in a dreamlike glow.

Terrifying energy fluctuations spread out like a tidal wave.

Just then, Kong Deming arrived in front of Xu Tianyao, his expression graver than ever before.

"Tianyao."

"Remember, you must relax."

"No matter what happens, do not resist the guidance of the energy."

"If any danger arises, I will terminate the experiment immediately; I will not let you come to any harm."
