The Genesis Book, One Link, One Word (Fourth Update)

"Words manifesting into reality?"

A heavy sense of doubt flashed through Li Changsheng's calm eyes, while he simultaneously suppressed a strange, inexplicable feeling of shock.

He was, of course, familiar with the concept of words manifesting into reality.

In the myths of his past life, this was an ability possessed only by beings of immense divine power.

Simply put, it meant that every word you spoke would manifest in reality.

The God of Wisdom responded swiftly, its mechanical voice remaining cold:

<Answer. Correct, it is indeed words manifesting into reality. The ability of your martial soul, the Genesis Book, is creation.>

<Supplement. That is too abstract. Let me give you an example.>

Li Changsheng nodded subconsciously.

Lately, the God of Wisdom seemed to have grown wiser; it was even explaining things through examples in such a mundane way.

Indeed, Li Changsheng felt as though his brain couldn't quite keep up.

His bewildered expression was reflected in Su Xinhe's aged eyes.

However, Su Xinhe seemed to notice that Li Changsheng was in a state of deep realization, so he did not disturb him, merely staring with a strange gaze at the Genesis Book martial soul hovering above Li Changsheng's palm.

<Notification. At this moment, your Genesis Book martial soul has no effect. However, once you attach a martial soul ring, you can achieve a miraculous effect. Any word spoken from your mouth will manifest in the form of a soul skill.>

<Supplement. With one soul ring, you can only manifest the effect of a single word. For example: "Mountain." When you say the word "mountain" and release it through your martial soul, the Genesis Book will manifest a mountain to carry out an attack.>

<Supplement. With two soul rings, you can combine single words into phrases, releasing a two-word attack. For example: "Heavy Mountain." With the help of your martial soul, the second soul ring can release an attack corresponding to a heavy mountain.>

<Supplement. With three rings, you can say three words, and so on. In short, the effect of your Genesis martial soul is: one ring allows for one word, and nine rings released together can create a world.>

After finishing its explanation, the God of Wisdom added a remarkably domineering statement.

Li Changsheng was a bit dazed.

He finally understood why the God of Wisdom had said last night that his martial soul would be somewhat similar to that of the Seven Absolute Zither Master.

So, the similarity lay in the fact that the attack methods of both martial souls were not fixed at all!

"Then, if I just say the word 'death,' wouldn't my opponent die? Isn't that too exaggerated? I'm only a first-ring soul master, after all?"

Li Changsheng asked curiously.

<Answer. Theoretically, when your own level suppresses the opponent, this effect can be achieved. However, at the same level, it will not cause the opponent to die instantly; instead, it will manifest death in the form of an attack.>

Li Changsheng thought to himself, that made sense.

If he could control the life and death of others at just the first ring, wouldn't that be too broken?

"In short, I can use the Genesis Book to create anything I want, or any form of attack? As long as it stays within the word count?"

Li Changsheng felt inexplicably that this Genesis Book martial soul might not be of much use to an ordinary person, but for him, it definitely had a bright future!

Why?

Because he was a transmigrator!

Before transmigrating, he had read many books. In high school, he was a teenager with a severe case of "chuunibyou," and even now, he sometimes became quite dramatic.

Answer. Yes.

The God of Wisdom's concise and clear answer left Li Changsheng feeling inexplicably stunned.

"Then, do I not need to follow the laws of soul ring attachment?" Li Changsheng asked again.

<Notification. You are currently in the process of awakening your martial soul. Please hold your many questions for later.>

The God of Wisdom suddenly issued a reminder.

Only then did Li Changsheng slap his forehead, remembering that he was still standing in the Sea God Awakening Hall, in the middle of his martial soul awakening.

At the same time, the God of Wisdom was right.

He certainly had many, many questions he wanted to ask it.

And there was his second martial soul.

Li Changsheng was also very fortunate that Su Xinhe did not seem to have the habit of digging into people's backgrounds.

That way, his twin martial souls would likely not be mentioned.

However, Li Changsheng could clearly feel that as the Genesis Book martial soul awakened, his left hand was also constantly surging with the powerful, warm internal energy of the Mysterious Heaven Skill—that is, soul power.

Coming back to his senses, Li Changsheng awkwardly rubbed his head and smiled honestly:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Su Xinhe shook his head. He hadn't been waiting long; he had been observing this martial soul called the "Genesis Book" the entire time.

The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

The surface of the ancient book was inscribed with symbols he did not recognize, and a terrifying pressure from the distant past kept suppressing his own released martial soul avatar.

If he hadn't replenished his soul power well beforehand, he feared he would have been forced back into his martial soul possession state by this pressure.

It was too terrifying.

And this was without even attaching any soul rings yet.

He wore a kindly smile, raised a withered hand, and pointed at the Genesis Book martial soul, saying, "Can you sense the effects of your martial soul?"

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and reached out his other hand, pressing it against the Genesis Book martial soul.

A cold sensation teased the lines of his palm.

Li Changsheng's fingertips moved slightly, and he flipped open the book cover.

Immediately, ripples appeared in the air as if breaking through a barrier. The azure power that had originally curled up on the martial soul awakening platform was instantly drawn in by the opened pages, transforming into an azure nine-petaled lotus that lifted Li Changsheng's body bit by bit.

"A Control-type martial soul?"

Su Xinhe was taken aback, but deep confusion flickered between his brows.

Li Changsheng smiled without a word. Then, he closed the book cover. The soul power that had been communicating with it instantly dropped, the azure halo dissipated, and the nine-petaled lotus that had been supporting him vanished bit by bit, finally turning into ripples in the air and disappearing completely.

"I can only demonstrate this much for you, Soul Saint. A friend of mine once said that a martial soul is the foundation of a soul master and shouldn't be explained too clearly. Why don't we test my soul power instead? Besides, you shouldn't waste your time on me alone, right?"

Li Changsheng's smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze. A sense of maturity unbefitting his age showed on his face, leaving Su Xinhe, who stood to the side, stunned.

He then nodded, merely laughing and scolding:

"That friend of yours is truly a little bastard."

Li Changsheng smiled without a word. That friend of mine is named Tang San.

Yeah, he's a bastard.

Your words, not mine.

Afterward, he brought the soul guidance device for testing soul power in front of Li Changsheng.

"Place your hand on it and focus on sensing," he reminded him proactively.

Li Changsheng nodded and pressed his hand onto it.

There was no strange sensation.

Only a special current of heat kept leaping at his fingertips.

The air hummed slightly.

Seeing this, Su Xinhe's withered hand trembled slightly.

He watched as the pitch-black sphere was occupied by spiraling external forces, and then, the numbers began to jump from the start.

One.

Two!

Five!

Eight!

In just the blink of an eye, the moment he connected his soul power, Li Changsheng's innate soul power had already reached level eight.

Then, the vast and boundless power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill seemed to be drawn out.

It surged entirely into the soul guidance device used for testing soul power.

Ten!

Whoosh!

The number locked at ten!

"Innate full soul power!" Su Xinhe's eyes felt dizzy.

How many years had it been?

This was the first time he had ever seen someone with innate full soul power!

He had helped many children awaken their martial souls, and the highest he had ever seen was only level eight!

Even Wang Dong, who had come before, was likely innate full soul power, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

And now, with such a genius standing right in front of him, his expression twisted.

"Sigh..."

With a soft sigh, he thought that if such a genius joined their Soul Awakening Sect, his status within the sect would definitely become incomparably transcendent.

However, geniuses like this usually chose to join that Shrek Pre-Academy, which had a shockingly high mortality rate.

Li Changsheng was not surprised; he was quite satisfied internally.

The hard work of the past ten-plus days had not been in vain; this was the best possible result.

He let go of his hand, bowed slightly to Su Xinhe, and with a smile curling his lips, said, "Well then, Soul Saint, I shall take my leave."

Su Xinhe was stunned.

He looked at Li Changsheng in surprise.

Are geniuses this polite?

Thinking of Wang Dong from earlier and the Li Changsheng before him, he smiled with a sense of helplessness.

"Little one."

He called out to Li Changsheng, who was about to leave.

Li Changsheng assumed he wanted to recruit him into the Soul Awakening Sect, but he still paused and turned to look at Su Xinhe.

Su Xinhe looked at Li Changsheng and said, "You are a rare talent. I won't pressure you to consider joining the Soul Awakening Sect; I wish you a smooth graduation from the Pre-Nurturing Academy. I hope that in the future, you can become the second Ancestor Tang San..."

As his voice trailed off, he revealed a wistful smile and said rather sheepishly:

"Who knows, maybe ten thousand years from now, my name, Su Xinhe, will be even more renowned than Ancestor Su Yuntao's?"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly, bowed slightly, and replied:

"I accept your kind words."
