"Grandpa, Sister, do you believe I've been reborn from twenty-four years in the future?!"

Dugu Lin looked at Dugu Yan, who was still secretly wiping her tears, and then squinted at Dugu Bo, speaking with a serious expression.

"Reborn?"

Dugu Bo frowned in confusion, turning his head to glance at Dugu Yan as if to say: Yan'er, Lin'er... his brain is broken!

Dugu Yan also opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, for she too believed her younger brother's brain had broken!

For a moment, Dugu Yan almost burst into tears from anxiety again, her precious teardrops falling patter, patter, as if they cost nothing. Half a year ago she had suffered the pain of losing her father, leaving her nerves extremely sensitive. Having just suffered the pain of losing her father, Dugu Yan's nerves were extremely sensitive.

Seeing his granddaughter crying, the corners of Dugu Bo's eyes also dampened ungratefully.

The loss of his father in his youth, his wife in middle age, and his son in old age had caused Dugu Bo's personality to become extremely eccentric. Now, his grandson Dugu Lin had just awakened his martial soul, yet his innate soul power was only half a rank! Who could know the bitterness in his heart?

At this moment, Dugu Lin paid no attention to what reactions Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were having.

Because he only needed to know that for a short period of time, no matter how abnormal and eccentric his actions and words were, Dugu Bo would not harm him!

And within this short span of time, it was already enough for Dugu Lin to finish saying everything he wanted to say.

With his hands clasped behind his back and the air of a little adult, Dugu Lin walked to the edge of the pavilion, looking out at the calm lake surface and letting the gentle breeze stir his clothes and strands of hair.

He was only six years old, yet now he insisted on maintaining an adult posture, which truly carried a rather jarring sense of incongruity.

At this moment, thoughts fluttered wildly in Dugu Lin's mind.

The scene that occurred during the day yesterday remained vivid before his eyes!

That was the martial soul awakening event held once a month by the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire. Dugu Lin had awakened his martial soul just yesterday, and it was an external spirit: the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, with half a rank of innate soul power!

Yet no one at the scene recognized an external spirit, and they only knew that half a rank of innate soul power was trash talent.

At the same time!

Dugu Lin had also awakened the mystery of the womb simultaneously with awakening his martial soul, and discovered that his martial soul not only included the external spirit Jade Phosphorous Serpent, but also a second spirit: a picture album!

Early this morning, which was this very moment!

The scene taking place inside the pavilion at Dugu Manor was precisely what Dugu Lin had meticulously designed after pondering for an entire night!

Because Dugu Lin had awakened his past life wisdom, his behavior and actions would inevitably differ vastly from a six-year-old child prior to today! In order to avoid Dugu Bo suspecting that his grandson had been subjected to possession and subsequently being tied to Caishikou to be burned to death, Dugu Lin had no other choice.

Therefore, he could only fabricate a claim of being reborn after death, in order to possibly muddle through.

Hoo~ Well then, let's start dropping spoilers next! It must succeed!

Dugu Lin cheered himself on inwardly, his expression turning even more solemn and his tone steady. With his back to the two of them, he spoke of his own accord: "I know you have many doubts, but I will make you believe me! I will tell you some information you don't know, speak of some events that will happen in the future, or mention some secrets that happened in the past, to prove that I truly experienced twenty-four years of time! And then, carrying the memories of the next twenty-four years, I returned to the age of six!"

Dugu Lin turned his head back and said sincerely: "Grandpa, Sister, do you want to hear about the secrets of the past first, or the affairs of the future?"

Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance, wearing identical expressions of worry.

Pondering for several breaths of time, Dugu Bo decided to go along with his grandson's words for now and continue downward. Because in Dugu Bo's view, his grandson awakening with half a rank of innate soul power was a heavy blow indeed! He was terrified that his grandson would do something foolish!

And so, Dugu Bo spoke with cautious care: "Lin'er, then why don't you tell us about the secrets of the past first."

"Good! Then let's start from a year ago! A year ago, Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji led several Title Douluo subordinates to encircle and suppress the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, ultimately being directly counter-killed by Tang Hao after he broke through to become a Title Douluo—Grandpa, you still remember that, right?"

Dugu Bo nodded, but the worry in his gaze deepened, and desolation filled his heart: My eldest grandson has become abnormal! What should I do?! Heavens! Why must you torment an old man like me?!

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

Dugu Yan walked over and pulled on Dugu Lin's arm, her face full of worry and her eye rims still red.

"Sister, be a good girl and sit over there, listen to me."

"Oh~ Oh~" Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment, then obediently sat back down on the stone stool.

Immediately following that, Dugu Lin continued: "The specific inside story of this matter was only allowed to see the light of truth twenty-four years later!"

"Twenty-four years later?"

Hearing this phrase a second time, Dugu Bo frowned, finally growing somewhat serious.

"During the Battle of Jialing Pass twenty-four years later, Clear Sky Douluo's son Tang San personally admitted that his mother was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form!"

"What? A hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form!"

Dugu Bo was startled in his heart, standing in a daze for a long while before suddenly snapping to his senses and hastily asking: "Lin'er, how do you know about a hundred-thousand-year soul beast taking human form?"

How did his grandson know about soul beasts being able to take human form? Through which channel did he find out?

Reborn?

Dugu Bo softly murmured these two words in his heart, doubt sprouting thick and fast within him. Yet he immediately cast the possibility of reborn to the back of his mind.

Rebirth was not a difficult term to understand, but could anyone really be reborn?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

"Grandpa, what does a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form mean?" Dugu Yan blinked her innocent and bewildered big eyes as she asked.

Dugu Bo explained: "When a soul beast reaches one hundred thousand years, it will face two choices. The first is to choose to transform into human form and cultivate anew in order to pursue longevity! The second is to choose to live for another thousand years, and then return to dust!"

At this stage, Dugu Bo did not know about soul beast heavenly tribulations or ferocious beasts.

Dugu Lin did not immediately reveal the secret of the Ferocious Beast, but instead picked up where Dugu Bo left off and continued, "After a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast takes human form, there are three stages."

"The first stage, before their Soul Power falls below level 60, is called the Infancy Stage. During this stage, powerhouses at or above the Spirit Douluo level can discover their true identity."

"The second stage is after level 61 of Soul Power, known as the Maturity Stage. During this stage, even a Title Douluo cannot see through their Soul Beast identity! At this time, they are no different from humans, and marrying humans and having children with them is entirely possible!"

"Gulp..."

Dugu Yan nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Dugu Bo frowned slightly.

Dugu Lin continued, "The third stage is after surpassing level ninety. Just like ordinary Title Douluo, they pursue Godhood at Level 100! Striving for eternal life!"

"Lin'er... how do you know all of this?"

Dugu Bo wore a solemn expression. Leave aside a six-year-old child who had just awakened his Martial Soul; even he, a Title Douluo, did not know such details. Who had taught him so much knowledge? And his words were also extremely logical.

"Grandpa, I was reborn from twenty-four years in the future!"

Dugu Lin stared into Dugu Bo's eyes and spoke with a solemn expression.

"Reborn?"

Dugu Bo wore a solemn expression, hearing the word 'reborn' once again. His eyes locked with his grandson's, his face filled with shock and uncertainty.

Dugu Lin spoke with an earnest attitude, "I don't expect you to believe me immediately about the matter of rebirth. I will slowly tell you everything that will happen over the next twenty-four years, and when the time comes, I will use the facts to prove it. You will definitely believe me."

"This..."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan exchanged glances, their hearts still maintaining skepticism regarding the truth of rebirth.
