Just as the Three-Eyed Golden Ni reached out to approach the man kneeling on the ground, she realized her own figure was slowly fading away.

Deep within the Star Dou Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni inside the cave snapped her eyes open. The blood-red hue of the vertical eye on her forehead slowly receded, returning to its usual golden color.

Her pair of pure golden pupils were filled with tear tracks.

"Liu Lin, who exactly are you?"

Recalling the hollow gaze of the man in her vision, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni murmured to herself.

She was certain she had never met Liu Lin before, yet why did she weep when she saw him hurt and in pain?

And that golden-haired, red-eyed woman in the vision—she looked exactly like her.

Just as the Three-Eyed Golden Ni sank into confusion, the vertical eye on her forehead lit up.

A soft radiance emanated from the eye, manifesting the golden-haired, red-eyed, peerlessly beautiful woman from the vision.

"Who are you?" Upon seeing the woman, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni asked the question weighing on her heart.

Although she had seen in the dream that this woman was herself, she wanted to hear it from her own lips.

"Shouldn't you have already seen it in your dream? I am your future self, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni," the woman replied.

"How did you get here?"

"Was what happened in the vision real?"

"Who is Liu Lin?"

"And why did you sacrifice yourself in the future?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Ni blurted out all her questions in one breath.

"I'll keep it brief. Everything in the vision was real, and Liu Lin is the person I love... As for my sacrifice and how I traveled back, I cannot say. I can only tell you it involves people from the God Realm; speaking further would alert them." The golden-haired, red-eyed woman answered each of the Three-Eyed Golden Ni's questions concisely.

After hearing the woman's response, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni fell into silence.

"Well, anything else you want to ask? Time is running out."

Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean? Are you disappearing?"

"Yes, I wasn't supposed to be here in the first place, so of course I must vanish."

"Was I really that dense in the past?" The woman looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Ni's blank expression and couldn't help but doubt herself.

"It seems you have nothing else to ask, so I shall take my leave." As she spoke, the woman's figure gradually dissolved into golden specks of light, vanishing from the cave.

"Then what is my name in the future?" Thinking of how Liu Lin had called her 'Qiu'er' in the vision, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni wanted to know her future name.

"My future name is Wang Qiu'er, though I don't particularly like it. So, you should choose a name for yourself." With those words, Wang Qiu'er's figure dissipated completely.

"Wang Qiu'er? As expected of my future self, we have the same taste; I don't like that name either. I shall choose a name that is one of a kind," the Three-Eyed Golden Ni said to herself after hearing Wang Qiu'er's words.

Meanwhile, in the God Realm.

Amidst a vast sea of clouds, a man with long blue hair stood tall—the renowned Sea God, Tang San.

At this moment, however, Tang San's eyes were filled with fury. He sensed that his arrangements on the Douluo Continent had been disrupted, yet when he used his divine power to investigate, he found nothing.

"Who? Who dares to disrupt the grand plan of this God King? You have already invited death upon yourself; you had best pray that I do not find you."

Just as Tang San fumed over his disrupted plans, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni in the cave noticed a thin golden thread appearing within her Eye of Destiny, extending out of the cave.

Once the thread appeared, she seemed to hear a voice whispering in her ear, telling her he was over there and to go find him.

Through this thread, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni saw the man from her dream, though he was currently just a cub.

However, upon seeing what Liu Lin was doing, the expression on the Three-Eyed Golden Ni's face soured; she saw her future man flirting with a little girl with golden hair and blue eyes.

She took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, and walked toward the cave entrance.

As she reached the mouth of the cave, a massive, crimson figure blocked her path. The Red King looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Ni with confusion.

"Auspicious Beast, where are you going? Are you hungry again, off to hunt?"

Hearing the Red King, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni couldn't help but roll her eyes. Did he really think she was nothing more than a glutton?

"No, I'm going out to find someone."

"A person? Auspicious Beast, have you changed your tastes? If you want to eat a human, you don't need to go; I'll catch one for you," the Red King said, mistakenly assuming she wanted to eat someone.

"No, I don't want to eat anyone, I want to find someone." The Three-Eyed Golden Ni was speechless. After explaining, she ignored whether the Red King agreed or not and headed outside.

Seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Ni was annoyed, the Red King stopped asking. He moved his four legs and followed her.

The two soul beasts set off, one after the other, toward a specific direction in the Star Dou Forest.

Half an hour later, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni stopped, looking at a few carriages in the distance. She could clearly feel that the end of the thread was here.

"Auspicious Beast, I can sense a Title Douluo in those carriages. What are you planning to do?" the Red King asked.

"Uncle Red King, just lure that Title Douluo away. You don't need to worry about the rest."

"But Auspicious Beast, my mission is to ensure your safety."

"I will not be in any danger, Uncle Red King, and do not kill him."

Hearing the Three-Eyed Golden Ni plead, Red King sighed and flew directly toward the carriages.

On the other side, Liu Lin and the others had just finished hunting their soul rings and were preparing to return to Star Luo City when they heard a roar echo across the sky above the forest.

Old Wang and the other Soul Emperors and Soul Kings turned their gazes toward the sky upon hearing the roar, their faces turning deathly pale.

"A 100,000-year soul beast? How could one appear here?"

Inside the carriage, Elder Lin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them; his eyes, previously as calm as an ancient well, were now filled with grave solemnity.

"Are you brothers kidding me? How could Red King appear here? Shouldn't he be protecting the Auspicious Beast?"

Liu Lin looked through the carriage window and saw Red King in the sky, his expression turning terrifyingly dark.

Are you kidding me, guys? Can I actually survive this? Liu Lin couldn't help but think to himself as he looked at Red King above.

Elder Lin, sitting within the carriage, spoke solemnly to Liu Lin and Xu Jiujiu, "I will draw Red King away; you must leave the Star Dou Forest immediately afterward."

Before Liu Lin and Xu Jiujiu could even respond, Elder Lin's figure had already appeared in the sky.
