At this moment, not only Dugu Yan, but even the usually composed Dugu Bo could not help feeling somewhat agitated.
One moment he was talking about becoming gods, the next he was saying the God Realm had interfered in mortal affairs. They were starting to think Dugu Lin was telling a story again.
A battle among three gods, with the Asura God King getting involved and all that—it was simply too unbelievable!
Dugu Lin continued, "During the Battle of Jialing Pass in the Three Gods' War, Grandpa, you were killed by an elder of Spirit Hall. Then there was you, Sis. Yu Tianheng dragged you over to use as his human shield at a critical moment between life and death, and in the end, you died at the hands of a Soul Sage."
Dugu Yan: "..."
"After the battle, someone found Grandpa's belongings while clearing the battlefield. I wanted to retrieve them, but I unexpectedly overheard Tang San and his little companions mocking you. They laughed at you for selflessly giving them immortal herbs, laughed at you for repaying kindness with gratitude, and even laughed at how, until your death, you never knew Tang San had only given you a few drops of blood, yet made you work for him like an ox or horse. In the end, you died on the battlefield without even leaving behind a complete corpse!"
"This is intolerable!!"
Dugu Bo struggled to restrain the Soul Power within his body as streams of green vapor seeped out through his pores.
It had to be said that the average moral quality of people on the Douluo Continent was truly high.
Even now, he had not cursed Tang San's ancestors for eighteen generations. This showed just how refined Dugu Bo was.
"Grandpa, calm down~ Don't let the toxins in your body erupt."
"Hoo~"
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, inwardly shuddering. Thankfully, his grandson had reminded him; otherwise, the toxins in his body might truly have gone out of control just now.
Dugu Lin continued to comfort him. "Grandpa, don't worry too much. None of it has happened yet. We still have a chance to start over, and it isn't too late! Everything... is in our hands!"
"That's right! Hahahaha!!!"
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and laughed wickedly, his smile exceedingly dangerous as killing intent flooded his gaze.
After waiting for a while, Dugu Lin asked, "Grandpa, Sis, is there anything else you want to know?"
Upon hearing that, Dugu Yan hurriedly asked, "Then, little brother, how did you reincarnate?"
"Uh... I was discovered while eavesdropping on Tang San and the others. Then they... well... killed me with a book. They were all Super Douluos with Soul Power above level ninety-five, and Tang San had even become a god. The moment I showed the slightest emotional fluctuation, they noticed me. After I died and opened my eyes again, I had returned to the present."
Dugu Lin did not care how he made up his story. Since he had supposedly reincarnated, he needed some way to have died.
Getting smashed to death by a book was still death.
"Hmph!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, a dangerous glint flickering in his eyes as he wrote every one of those people into his little notebook. They dared kill his grandson? Hehe~ They all had to die!
After a long while.
Dugu Bo suddenly asked, "Lin'er, since those immortal herbs can help Martial Souls evolve, then your Martial Soul..."
"That is exactly what I wanted to talk about!"
At last, it was time for the important matter. Dugu Lin was extremely excited.
"Fine, then Grandpa will take you both to the herb garden in Sunset Forest right away. As for... your reincarnation and what will happen in the future, we can discuss that later."
"Grandpa, there's no rush."
"Hm? Is there something else?"
Dugu Lin said gravely, "Grandpa, my Martial Soul isn't an ordinary Jade Phosphorous Serpent. It is a detached Martial Soul: the Jade Phosphorous Serpent!"
"A detached Martial Soul?"
Dugu Bo was somewhat confused upon hearing this.
Dugu Lin did not explain further and directly summoned his Martial Soul. "Little Snake, come out and say hello to my sister and grandpa!"
"Hiss hiss~~"
A half-meter-long Jade Phosphorous Serpent appeared on the ground, then slithered toward Dugu Lin.
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent looked at Dugu Lin with lively eyes, affectionately rubbing its head against the finger he held out.
Before transmigrating, Dugu Lin had been very afraid of creatures like snakes.
Yet when facing his own Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, he felt no resistance whatsoever. It felt as though the Jade Phosphorous Serpent were an extension of his body.
"Choo choo choo~~~"
Dugu Lin scratched beneath the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's chin twice with his finger, nearly making himself laugh. It felt like he was teasing a puppy.
"Hiss hiss~~" The Jade Phosphorous Serpent wore an almost humanlike expression of enjoyment.
"Little Snake, say hello to my sister and grandpa."
"Hiss hiss~~" The Jade Phosphorous Serpent turned its head and flicked its tongue at the two of them.
Dugu Bo's face was full of shock. He could be certain that the snake before him was his grandson's Martial Soul! After all, he had just watched it get summoned. If it was not a Martial Soul, what else could it be? His eyesight had not gone bad yet!
But this Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul... no matter how he looked at it, it was a genuine soul beast!
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan stared wide-eyed beside him and cried out, "Little brother... this is your Martial Soul? This is incredible!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Dugu Yan reached out and picked up the Jade Phosphorous Serpent!
The Jade Phosphorous Serpent affectionately coiled around Dugu Yan's arm, making her break into a fit of giggles.
Seeing this, Dugu Lin smiled and said, "I can't really explain what is special about a detached Martial Soul. I only know that detached Martial Souls must be incredibly powerful!"
"Mm... perhaps." Dugu Bo had never seen anyone whose Martial Soul was identical to a soul beast, so he did not know how to judge it.
Dugu Lin smiled and continued, "Not only that! Grandpa, Sis, I have another Martial Soul!"
Dugu Lin did not intend to hide the matter of his second Martial Soul from Dugu Bo.
If he could not even fully trust Dugu Bo, his own grandfather, then he might as well raise a white flag and surrender to Tang San, become his lackey, and perhaps even earn himself a godhood.
"What?! You have Twin Martial Souls too!"
In an instant, Dugu Bo shot up from his stone stool, staring at his grandson in disbelief. Dugu Yan, who was playing with the snake beside him, was equally shocked. Her little brother actually had two Martial Souls?!
"Cough cough~~"
Dugu Lin coughed lightly, then frowned slightly as he explained, "In my previous life, I did not awaken two Martial Souls... but after reincarnating in this life, I don't understand why I have two Martial Souls either."
As he spoke, Dugu Lin immediately summoned his other Martial Soul, the "Spirit Album." It was a book made of metal!
Upon seeing the second Martial Soul, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's eyes widened into round circles!
Excited! Thrilled! Exhilarated! In the end, Dugu Bo's aged eyes even filled with tears. Twin Martial Souls! That was his grandson!
"This... are the four words 'Spirit Album' written on the cover of that Martial Soul?"
Despite Dugu Bo's vast experience, he had never seen a Martial Soul like this. It was already strange enough for it to be a book forged from bronze, but there were even four words written on it: Spirit Album.
"I don't know what kind of Martial Soul it is either... but I have a feeling that this album might be the very book Tang San threw at me before I reincarnated."
Dugu Lin vaguely made up a random explanation. If anyone asked, his answer was simply: he did not know either.
As for the rest, Grandpa and Sis could only use their imaginations.
