What shocked her even more was that under the shroud of these dense and powerful laws of life, she actually felt the bottleneck that had constrained her for years beginning to loosen.

How was that possible?

She was already a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, standing at the peak of human cultivation.

Beyond that lay the threshold of becoming a god at level one hundred.

That threshold had trapped her for decades. No matter how hard she tried, she had been unable to break through.

But now, merely standing beside a martial soul...

Merely sensing those laws of life...

She actually felt her bottleneck beginning to loosen, as though she could see hope of a breakthrough.

"Hiss"

Bo Saixi drew in a sharp breath, her eyes filled with astonishment. She murmured, "As expected of a God King. This method... is truly astounding."

Li Changqing opened his eyes and turned to look at the Ancient Tree of Life behind him, showing little surprise.

Since the Goddess of Life had decided to place him on Douluo Continent, it meant she had already arranged everything.

As the most important thing in this world, his martial soul certainly could not be too weak.

Otherwise, let alone growing strong as quickly as possible and then inheriting the divine position of Life...

He would not even be able to defeat that little bastard Tang San.

So, awakening the Ancient Tree of Life was entirely within his expectations.

Bo Saixi withdrew her Soul Power, took several deep breaths, and tried her best to calm the shock in her heart.

She walked over to Li Changqing, crouched down beside him, and asked curiously, "Xiaoqing, what is the name of your martial soul?"

Li Changqing looked up at the towering ancient tree and answered calmly, "It is called the Ancient Tree of Life. It was formed from my mother's super divine artifact."

Bo Saixi suddenly understood.

Though she was somewhat surprised, she did not find it too unexpected.

After all, whether it was her own Sea God martial soul or Spirit Hall's Six-Winged Angel, they were essentially god-bestowed martial souls—seeds of power granted by gods.

As the son of a God King, it was only reasonable for Li Changqing to possess a martial soul transformed from a God King's super divine artifact.

"Ancient Tree of Life..."

Bo Saixi softly repeated the name, a trace of reverence flashing through her eyes. "A fine name."

Then, she took a blue crystal sphere from her robes.

It was a tool used to test Soul Power.

The crystal sphere was clear and flawless, glowing with a faint blue light beneath the candlelight.

"Come, place your hand on it and test your Innate Soul Power." Bo Saixi held the crystal sphere out before Li Changqing.

Li Changqing nodded, stretched out his right hand, and gently pressed it against the crystal sphere.

The instant his palm touched the crystal sphere, the blue glow inside it began to change rapidly.

The light first turned pale green.

Then it became denser and brighter.

In the end, the entire crystal sphere became a dazzling emerald green, like a massive piece of jade.

A number began to emerge inside the crystal sphere.

Twenty.

Neither more nor less—exactly level twenty.

Bo Saixi looked at that number, a knowing smile appearing on her lips.

She had long guessed that this would be the result.

After all, Li Changqing was the son of a God King. Divine King blood flowed through his veins, and he possessed a martial soul on the level of the Ancient Tree of Life. His Innate Soul Power could not possibly be low.

In fact, for soul masters on Douluo Continent, the highest possible Innate Soul Power was only level ten.

Anything beyond level ten was power bestowed by gods, a gift from the divine.

Li Changqing's Innate Soul Power had reached level twenty, which meant that the Goddess of Life had not merely helped him.

It also meant that he possessed the strength of two soul rings from the very beginning.

At the starting line alone, he was already far ahead of those his age.

"Level twenty. Very good."

Bo Saixi put away the crystal sphere and said to Li Changqing with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to cultivate Soul Power and help you obtain soul rings. With your talent and the quality of the Ancient Tree of Life, I believe it will not take long before you become a powerful soul master."

Li Changqing nodded, anticipation flashing through his eyes.

He turned around, looked at the towering Ancient Tree of Life, and reached out to gently touch its rough trunk.

He could feel a mysterious connection between himself and the tree, as though it were a part of him, the source of his power.

The Ancient Tree of Life seemed to sense his feelings. Its branches and leaves trembled lightly, rustling as though responding to him.

Bo Saixi stood to the side, watching the scene as countless emotions surged through her heart.

She had a premonition that this child's arrival would change many things.

Perhaps it would change her fate.

Perhaps it would change the fate of Sea God Island.

It might even change the fate of all Douluo Continent.

And she was honored to become a witness and participant in this chapter of history.

"Let's go."

Bo Saixi said softly, "It is getting late. We should return and rest. Tomorrow, I will show you the true Sea God Island."

Li Changqing nodded and cast one last glance at the Ancient Tree of Life.

With a thought, he drew it back into his body.

The green light faded, and the hall returned to calm.

The two walked out of the hall side by side. Moonlight spilled across them, coating them in a silver glow.

In the distant sea, the waves shimmered as though countless stars were sparkling beneath the water.

A new day was about to arrive.

Meanwhile, in the Palace of Life within the God Realm.

The Sea God looked at the stunning woman before him and said softly, "Goddess of Life, that child has successfully awakened his martial soul. Is there anything you need to tell him?"

Hearing the question, the Goddess of Life was briefly stunned before saying, "If possible, tell him not to go to Angel God's territory."

"Angel God?"

The Sea God became interested and asked, "What does this have to do with Angel God? If I remember correctly, she was on rather good terms with you."

Angel God's attributes were holiness and light. Moreover, like the Goddess of Life, she was a woman, so after arriving in the God Realm, Angel God had chosen to follow the Goddess of Life.

"What if I told you that Angel God was the one who caused the current situation?" the Goddess of Life said calmly.

"Uh, uh, uh, uh!"

The Sea God was left speechless, his entire face blank with confusion.

What the hell was that old woman Qian Yuhan doing?

Had she taken too much of something?

She actually dared to interfere in a God King's private life?

And more importantly, if she was going to interfere, she could at least have picked someone else.

Why did she directly stab her immediate superior in the back?

Was that even right?

The Sea God was speechless.

Because if that happened, not only would the Goddess of Life hold a grudge against Angel God, even the other God Kings would be displeased with her.

The reasoning was simple.

No one liked a subordinate who stabbed her superior in the back.

Even if that subordinate's cultivation had already reached the level of a chief god, second only to God Kings.

At that moment, a furious roar rang out from beyond the hall. "Sea God, get the hell out here!"
