A World Without Family? Uncle! Uncle!!

"I always thought that as long as I was strong enough, I wouldn't feel sad or hurt..."

"But Dad, even you deny me..."

On the back mountain of Holy Soul Village,

Tang San rushed into the torrential rain with tears in his eyes and screamed desperately at the gloomy, oppressive heavens.

He had transmigrated.

In his previous life, he had always been alone. In this life, he had finally gained a family—a father.

He treasured this family deeply, yet his father did not acknowledge him.

"Obviously, I have Innate Full Soul Power."

"Obviously, I can become a Soul Master, so why won't you let me attend school and cultivate?"

Tang San could not understand.

In this world where the strong ruled, why would Tang Hao refuse to let him cultivate?

It made no sense!

"Because you didn't awaken the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul."

A voice carrying a trace of chill sounded through the curtain of rain.

"Who?!!"

Tang San instantly became alert, his entire body tensing as he swept his gaze around. The Silent Sleeve Arrow was in his hand, ready to fire.

"That little thing of yours is quite good."

"Go ahead, do it!"

"If you want to harm the only relative in this world who cares about you and shares your bloodline, then do it!"

Yin Chuan's tall, slender figure emerged from the rain.

He stood over six feet tall.

His face was handsome.

Lake-blue hair cascaded down his back, and beneath his refined bearing lurked a solemn killing intent that left Tang San uncertain and suspicious.

"You are?"

Tang San felt an instinctive tremor in his bloodline.

Combined with what this man had said,

his mind fell into turmoil, and he unconsciously put away the Silent Sleeve Arrow.

The only person who cared about him?

A relative connected to him by blood?

Who was this man?

"Tell me, Tang San. Did you awaken the Blue Silver Grass martial soul?"

Yin Chuan spoke in a deep voice.

"How did you know?"

Tang San was shocked. If such a confidential matter had been exposed, he should have marked this man for death.

But that aura of familiarity he felt,

along with the man's cryptic words, made it impossible for him to act.

"Foolish child, I'm your uncle!"

"Our family's martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

Yin Chuan swung his arm, and a Blue Silver Great Spear roughly three meters long appeared in his hand.

Its lush life force caused the grass beneath the rain to shine with a blue-green glow, clear and rippling like jade water.

Whoosh!

At the call of that blue spear, the small blue grass in Tang San's right hand flew free from his grasp against his will.

The Blue Silver Grass swayed,

giving off a sense of warmth, as though it had encountered family.

Tang San, meanwhile, felt as though he had been struck by a hammer.

"Un-Uncle?!"

He could not believe it.

The man before him was noble and elegant.

Yet he was merely the son of an ordinary blacksmith. How could someone so distinguished possibly be related to a rustic villager like him?

Besides, Tang San had never even seen his own mother.

Much less heard anything about an uncle.

Yet the affinity conveyed by his Blue Silver Grass martial soul could not be false.

He and this blue-haired man truly seemed to be relatives connected by blood!

Clang—

The Silent Sleeve Arrow fell to the ground.

Tang San stood there blankly, his mind completely empty.

"Foolish child, look at how skinny and pitiful you are. That bastard Tang Hao has been abusing you, hasn't he?"

Yin Chuan sighed and walked up to Tang San, placing his long, powerful palm atop Tang San's head.

An unprecedented sense of safety

filled Tang San from Yin Chuan's palm through the crown of his head. Tang San's eyes reddened, his nose stung, and his emotions instantly spiraled out of control.

"Uncle!!!!"

"Uncle!!!!!"

He threw his arms around Yin Chuan and burst into loud sobs.

"Good child, cry. Go on, cry..."

Yin Chuan gently patted Tang San's back and comforted him softly.

Within his azure pupils,

another scene appeared:

[Good Uncle System, Character Panel

Name: Yin Chuan

Race: A hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver King transformed into human form

Age: 12

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Tyrant Spear

Cultivation: Level 43

Soul Skills: Blue Silver Peak Strength, All Vegetation as Soldiers, Donning Armor and Wielding Weapons, Blue Silver Tyrant Fury

Faction: Soul Beast (Gu Yuena's direct subordinate)

Items: Di Tian's Reverse Scale (can conceal a soul beast's aura)

Mission: Main Quest—compete with Tang Hao for Tang San's custody. Reward: Child of Nature status (favored by the plane and nature)]

That was right. Yin Chuan was a transmigrator, and he had brought along a Good Uncle System.

His identity was that of a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver King.

As a transmigrator, Yin Chuan knew very well that the Blue Silver Emperor inheritance belonged to Ah Yin's lineage. If he did not transform into human form, he would have no chance of becoming an emperor.

There was no point in soul beasts cultivating bitterly, either.

In this era, transforming into human form still offered a sliver of hope.

So he transformed, condensed the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear martial soul, and intended to carve out his own path of tyranny.

Afterward, he used his innate ability to find a piece of Gold of Life. With King of Ten Thousand Monsters' recommendation, he entered the Land of Great Calamity, presented it to Gu Yuena, flattered her, and earned her trust.

He was assigned a relatively forward position to absorb the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm version of a charging bank.

His human age was only twelve.

Yet his Soul Power had surged to level 43!

Di Tian gave him the Reverse Scale to help conceal his soul beast aura, and his status now surpassed Da Ming and Er Ming.

He had effectively become the one in charge of the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Just as his life was flourishing, Yin Chuan's cheat finally activated: the Good Uncle System.

It required him to play the role of a good uncle and raise his nephew Tang San in exchange for all manner of rewards.

Its first task was to make him compete with Tang Hao for custody.

Only then did Yin Chuan remember his bargain-bin nephew, Tang San.

So he came.

Not merely to become a good uncle, but also to seek justice for his sister and nephew!

"Uncle, Uncle..."

Tang San continued to murmur, his tears soaking Yin Chuan's pant leg.

In both his past and present lives,

he had spent decades alone. When had he ever experienced familial affection?

Even that bastard of a drunkard father

he had regarded as a treasure.

How much more so a gentle and caring uncle?

So when Yin Chuan's large hand pressed against his forehead, the disguise in his heart known as strength was instantly torn to pieces.

His vulnerable side broke forth like floodwaters bursting through a dam. Tang San cried and cried, until he was utterly exhausted and finally fell asleep.

"Alas..."

Yin Chuan sighed, picked up Tang San, and darted through the back mountain, following the guidance of a certain aura.

He arrived before a waterfall.

"Big Sister, I told you back then that human society was too dangerous. But you were determined to transform, and I couldn't stop you."

"Now, I'm taking you and Little San home."

"That damned Tang Hao is worthless. I'm taking you both home!"

Splash—

Yin Chuan rushed through the waterfall and arrived before that frail yet resilient Blue Silver Grass, his heart filled with emotion.

Back when he had still been Blue Silver Grass,

he had tried to stop Ah Yin from transforming.

At the very least, she could have waited for him another hundred years so they could transform together. At the time, he already had more than ninety thousand years of cultivation and would soon be able to transform.

But Ah Yin seemed as though she had been put under a spell. She ignored everything, transformed, fell in love with Tang Hao, and sacrificed herself...

Fate truly could not be defied.

The Blue Silver Grass with faint golden patterns

sensed Yin Chuan and Tang San's arrival and radiated excitement. Its slender leaves stretched toward them, slowly settling onto Tang San's body.

"Hmm?"

Tang San woke up.
