Awakening the Blue Silver Emperor, Third Spirit: Blue Silver Grass

Wang Dong'er had already withdrawn her spiritual power, yet to her surprise, her perception had not weakened in the slightest. Instead, it had grown even stronger. She seemed to have merged with her surroundings—an ant, an evening breeze, a spider sleeping soundly beneath a crack in the rocks—all appeared vividly before her eyes.

Following the guidance, she walked onward. The Blue Silver King's voice rang out again, filled with immense frustration.

"Great King, to think I have made you come to me. This old servant is too weak and cannot leave the center of the forest. Please forgive me."

"It's alright."

Wang Dong'er answered quietly. Before long, the Blue Silver Grass around her had grown as tall as she was. This place brimmed with life; with every breath, abundant vitality poured into her body. If a dying person were thrown in here, they would probably be lively and kicking again before long.

"No... you... you are not the King."

As Wang Dong'er drew ever closer to the center of the forest, the Blue Silver King's perception became exceptionally clear.

Sensing just how thin the royal bloodline within Wang Dong'er was, the Blue Silver Emperor let out a mournful cry.

"Could it be... the King has already died? You are the King's descendant."

The surrounding Blue Silver Grass grew sorrowful as well. The King was dead. Their mother was dead. From now on, they were orphans...

Sensing their emotions, Wang Dong'er said, "The Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, sacrificed herself to a human Soul Master. Your King has indeed departed."

"Alas, King! Why did you abandon us and go to the human world? We are children without a mother now!"

The Blue Silver Emperor wailed again.

Children without mothers were like blades of grass. So that was the meaning behind it...

Wang Dong'er raised her hand and slapped herself. That was too inhumane—even she could make a joke like that.

"You... what are you doing?"

"Nothing. I'm simply too shocked to believe that everything before me is real. Blue Silver Grass, which is called a useless martial soul, can actually be this powerful. The world is vast; anything can happen."

Wang Dong'er lowered her head guiltily.

"You are right. The Blue Silver Grass clan has no voice at all in either the Soul Beast world or the plant world. We are like ants that can be crushed at will. But the King was different. She was born noble, a gift bestowed upon the Blue Silver Grass clan by the heavens. From birth, she stood at the pinnacle of all plants. Only under the King's protection could we grow to this extent."

Before long, Wang Dong'er arrived at the very center of the Blue Silver Forest.

Before her lay a small lake, and at its center stood an enormous tree.

Yet it was not truly a tree. It merely had the shape of one; it was formed from a massive Blue Silver Grass coiled together.

Countless blue motes floated out from the giant tree, gathering around its trunk to form an aged face with white hair and beard.

"King, I am here."

Wang Dong'er looked at the Blue Silver King. "Your King is already dead. Why do you still call me King?"

The Blue Silver King smiled. "Because the blood flowing through you is nobler than mine. If I am the King of Blue Silver Grass, then you are the Emperor of Blue Silver Grass."

"The Blue Silver Emperor is always passed down through a single line in this world. Only when the previous Blue Silver Emperor dies will the next Blue Silver Emperor appear. Though you are human, you are the only person in this era who carries the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline."

The only one?

Whatever. Whoever came first awakened first. The early bird got the meat, while the latecomer only got the broth.

Ah Yin had betrayed her clan, and after Tang San became a god, he had ignored the Blue Silver Grass entirely. She was far more suited to be their King.

The Blue Silver King said, "Great Majesty, on this continent, I am the Blue Silver Grass who has lived the longest besides you. Thus, I am called the Blue Silver King. At last, I have met you. As your eternal subjects, we will forever protect you. Are you willing to eternally shelter your people?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Dong'er stared solemnly at the Blue Silver King before her and nodded firmly. "I am."

Two drops of blue liquid streamed down from where the Blue Silver King's human face had eyes. "It has been nearly twenty years since we last sensed Your Majesty's aura. Today, we are finally no longer children without a mother. Your Majesty, please feel your subjects' worship."

As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably immense aura suddenly rose up. It did not come from the Blue Silver King before her, but from the entire forest.

Azure-blue radiance quietly emerged from every stalk of Blue Silver Grass. The light rising from a single blade might have been no more than a tiny blue mote, but when the blue light from hundreds of millions of Blue Silver Grass plants gathered together, it became a blue ocean.

Wang Dong'er immediately felt herself become the center of that ocean. Her body was like an enormous maw, frantically devouring the blue ocean rushing toward her from the outside world.

An unprecedented heat rose from the deepest part of her body. At that moment, Wang Dong'er felt neither the impact and pressure brought by the immense energy nor any swelling within her body. To her astonishment, as that heat surged inside her, an incomparably gentle aura lightly brushed across her entire body.

For some reason, the moment Wang Dong'er felt that gentle aura, she suddenly had the urge to cry. It was a feeling of being nurtured and cared for, as though what she was receiving at that moment was a mother's caress.

Closing her eyes, Wang Dong'er did not want this feeling to slip away. She abandoned all perception of the outside world and devoted all her attention to that gentle warmth, which gave without reservation and asked for nothing in return.

The conditions for awakening the Blue Silver Emperor were: possessing the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and reaching Rank 50 Soul Power, the Soul King level.

The most important condition was possessing a Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Without a Blue Silver Grass martial soul, it was fundamentally impossible to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor.

Wang Dong'er possessed the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, and her Soul Power had clearly reached Rank 50. She simply had yet to acquire a soul ring.

But this Blue Silver Grass martial soul...

Wang Dong'er abruptly awoke from that gentleness and looked toward the Blue Silver King. The Blue Silver King had sacrificed himself; it was already too late for her to say anything.

Her aura was changing, her bloodline was boiling, and her entire body was transforming. The awakening of her bloodline proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

"Can it awaken even without a martial soul?"

As the words fell, Wang Dong'er's consciousness suddenly entered her spiritual sea.

At the center of the sea, the Sea God's Divine Sense slowly extended its right hand. In its palm, a fragile sprout gradually emerged.

All the life energy sacrificed by the Blue Silver Grass gathered together and nurtured the sprout's growth. Within a few breaths, it had grown into a small golden tree, almost identical to the Seed of Life.

Wang Dong'er was utterly stunned, but she soon accepted the fact that she had awakened a true third martial soul.

Perhaps she had possessed a Blue Silver Grass martial soul from the very beginning... only for it to be replaced by that kind-hearted God King. Then, by splitting her soul and merging it into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he had stolen the Dragon God bloodline so that all descendants of the Tang family would possess the powerful Dragon God bloodline.
