He froze for a moment, trying to focus his attention on A-Yin.
The innate soul skill, Heart of Blue Silver, vibrated slightly within his body, as if it were operating on its own.
The next second, a faint, intermittent emotional fluctuation entered his perception.
Chaos.
Confusion.
And an instinctive, unadorned signal for help!
A-Yin had not yet developed a complete consciousness.
She was currently just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, lacking even the ability to think.
But she was instinctively transmitting a message.
"Save me."
"I don't want to stay here."
Having been trapped in this dark, sunless cave for nearly ten years, this reincarnated seedling of the Blue Silver Emperor was calling for help in her own way.
"..."
Xiao Chenyu remained silent for a moment.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Everyone, I think I can sense A-Yin's emotions now; the Heart of Blue Silver is taking effect.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: For real?! What state is she in right now? Σ(゚Д゚)
[Xiao Chenyu]: Very chaotic, no complete consciousness, like someone who hasn't fully woken up yet.
[Xiao Chenyu]: But she seems... to not want to stay here.
It was instinct, not thought.
It was simply a pure desire not to remain in this dark, damp place any longer.
[God of Destruction]: After all, she is only an ordinary Blue Silver Grass right now, and her intelligence hasn't even awakened.
[God of Destruction]: Blue Silver Grass craves water, sunlight, and fresh air; these are just the most primitive instincts of a plant.
[Goddess of Life]: Chenyu, take her with you as well.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Eh? (゚Д゚≡゚Д゚)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Goddess of Life, you are... oh, oh, oh! I get it! You want the Avenger to take A-Yin to command Tang San and Tang Hao, using A-Yin as a hostage, right?
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Brilliant, this move is too brilliant!
[Will of Douluo Planet]: That guy Tang San cares most about his family; if he ever dares to touch a hair on the Avenger's head, we'll threaten him with his mother! Make him kneel and sing "Conquer"! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
[Goddess of Life]: ...While that is certainly feasible, that is not my intention.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Eh? Then what is it?
Xiao Chenyu blinked.
He was also curious about the deeper meaning behind the Goddess of Life's suggestion.
After all, the Goddess of Life was the gentle and kind presence in the group.
Her initiative to take A-Yin away surely wasn't just for the sake of using her as a hostage.
The group was quiet for a few seconds; the Goddess of Life seemed to be organizing her thoughts.
[Goddess of Life]: You should all know the rules of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
[Goddess of Life]: On Douluo Planet, there can only be one Blue Silver Emperor on the same continent.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Mm-hmm, Douluo Planet does indeed have that rule.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: The Blue Silver Emperor is the sole monarch of the Blue Silver Grass clan; there can only be one per generation, just like there can only be one queen bee in a hive.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Whoever wants to become the new Blue Silver Emperor must wait for the previous one to completely perish.
[Goddess of Life]: Then the problem is very simple.
[Goddess of Life]: A-Yin is currently in a state of chaotic consciousness and has not re-awakened as the Blue Silver Emperor.
[Goddess of Life]: Chenyu only needs to take her away and help her re-awaken as the Blue Silver Emperor.
[God of Destruction]: Little Green, your idea is very interesting.
The God of Destruction suddenly interjected into the conversation, his tone carrying a hint of cold, sharp approval.
[God of Destruction]: You want to cut off one of Tang San's arms.
For his Blue Silver Grass martial soul to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, it must rely on the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
As long as A-Yin is still alive and awakens first, Tang San will be forever stuck at the level of ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
This method is far more ruthless than stealing a soul bone from him.
"!!!"
Xiao Chenyu's eyes lit up fiercely, as if someone had ignited two flames of soul power within his pupils.
He had thought of it too.
What was it that allowed Tang San to soar to such heights in the later stages?
It wasn't the Xuantian Skill, it wasn't his hidden weapons, and it wasn't even his soul as a transmigrator.
Those were, in the end, merely icing on the cake.
The true foundation was his twin martial souls.
Because of the existence of his twin martial souls, he inherited the dual godhoods of the Sea God and the Asura God.
Yet, there was an ironclad rule on Douluo Continent: only one Blue Silver Emperor could exist on the same continent.
If A-Yin were to become the Blue Silver Emperor once more, the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Tang San would automatically be downgraded.
It wouldn't just be weakened or diminished; the possibility of advancement would be erased at the root.
His Blue Silver Grass would remain ordinary Blue Silver Grass forever, never able to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor.
This was the cruel law of the Blue Silver clan.
There could only be one sovereign; those who came after could only bow and submit.
However, there were a few minor issues.
For instance...
[Xiao Chenyu]: But A-Yin is Tang San's mother, after all.
If she becomes the Blue Silver Emperor again and recovers her memories and consciousness, wouldn't she naturally help her own son?
Wouldn't I be cultivating a teammate for the enemy by doing this?
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Not at all. (⩌ᴗ⩌)
[Will of Douluo Planet]: You humans seem to have some misunderstandings about the rebirth mechanism of plant-type soul beasts.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: The so-called "leaving a seed to be reborn" for plant-type soul beasts does not mean the soul remains the original one.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: In reality, the plant that grows from the seed possesses an entirely new soul.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: It is just that the reborn plant-type soul beast will awaken the memories of its previous self in the future, much like... well, like watching a documentary about one's past life?
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Memories are memories, and personality is personality; they cannot be equated.
Xiao Chenyu was stunned.
"There's such a thing?"
In other words, A-Yin was now a brand-new soul, with the memories of her past life merely lying dormant within her.
[Goddess of Life]: Therefore, Chenyu, you can completely use the innate soul skill of your Heart of Blue Silver to make her acknowledge you as her master before she awakens those memories.
[Goddess of Life]: Once she awakens, even if she recovers the memories of her past life, her current personality will naturally remain dominant; memories are, after all, just memories.
[Goddess of Life]: By then, she will stand on your side, not Tang San's.
[Xiao Chenyu]: Hiss... Godmother, this move of yours... is a bit ruthless.
Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but gasp.
The Goddess of Life was usually as gentle as a loving mother.
How was it that when it came to dealing with Tang San, her methods were even sharper than those of the God of Destruction?
Was this the legendary "milky-scented blade"?
[Goddess of Life]: Since Tang San will sacrifice the future of so many people for his own interests in the future, letting him lose his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline can be considered a fair exchange.
[Goddess of Life]: This isn't ruthlessness; it's justice.
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Wow, Goddess of Life, this move of yours is brilliant! Why didn't I think of that! (ノ≧∀≦)ノ
[Will of Douluo Planet]: Losing the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul cuts Tang San's advantage of having twin martial souls in half—it's equivalent to severing one of his arms.
[Human-Faced Demon Spider]: Sever his hand! Sever his hand! Tang San has no hands!
