Goddess of Kindness's Pure Heart Eyes, Li Qinglian Entered Seclusion!

Just as Li Qinglian was about to ask something, he suddenly felt a gentle, warm power slowly seeping from that palm, like melted snow trickling bit by bit into parched earth.

That power was not domineering, yet it was enduring and profound. It spread along his eye sockets, winding around them and settling in.

Then, like a seed breaking through the soil, it took root deep within his pupils.

A faint stabbing pain came from deep inside his eyes, as though countless tiny needlepoints were lightly twitching at the back of his eyes.

Li Qinglian unconsciously furrowed his brows and clenched the corners of his robes.

"Bear with it. It will be over soon."

Goddess of Kindness's voice remained gentle, but the palm covering his eyelids began to glow with a faint golden halo.

The stabbing pain lasted for roughly ten breaths before swiftly receding like the tide.

In its place came an extraordinary coolness.

It was as though his eyes had been washed with spring water from a mountain stream. That clarity, lucidity, and comfort spread from the depths of his pupils throughout his entire skull.

"It's done. Open your eyes."

Li Qinglian slowly opened his eyes.

Then he froze.

The world was still the same world. The furnishings of the Holy Son Palace, the daylight beyond the window, the outline of Pope Mountain in the distance—nothing had changed.

Yet every color had become clearer than ever, and every outline sharper than ever.

He could even see the faint soul power flowing through the veins of the green plant's leaves on the windowsill. He could see the dust settled within every crack between the bricks of the Worship Hall's dome in the distance.

What shocked him most was that he could see Goddess of Kindness's true appearance.

When he had looked at her before, he had merely thought her beautiful, crisp and pure as snow.

But now...

He could see the incomparably pure golden-white divine light flowing around her body. That light was exceptionally refined and gentle, like the warm sun at noon in winter.

And deep within that light, he sensed an almost transparent kindness—without a trace of impurity or concealment, so open and honest that it was nearly dazzling.

"I call them Pure Heart Eyes."

Goddess of Kindness smiled faintly and withdrew her hand, her fingertips brushing the corner of his eye one last time with a hint of affection.

"A heart pure as snow, all things revealed. They can let you see through every falsehood and disguise, distinguish the truth and lies in people's hearts, and discern whether feelings are real or hollow. Whether it is transformation techniques, illusion barriers, or the hypocrisy and schemes buried deep in human hearts, nothing can hide before them."

She bent down until she was level with Li Qinglian's eyes.

Li Qinglian blinked.

He could feel that something had appeared in the depths of his pupils.

An extremely faint golden-white speck of light lay hidden at the deepest point of his originally abyss-black eyes, like an undiscovered star in the depths of the night sky.

"Kindness..." He raised his head and looked seriously at Goddess of Kindness. "Thank you."

That "sister" sounded more heartfelt than it ever had before.

Li Qinglian finally understood why so many people liked mature older sisters.

Older sisters really knew how to pamper people.

Most importantly, older sisters had money and were willing to spend it on their younger brothers...

Goddess of Kindness paused for a moment, then her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

She reached out and ruffled his black hair, her fingertips lightly brushing over that streak of stark white at its ends.

"Good little brother, don't mention it. After all, I'm your future colleague, aren't I?"

She paused, then added:

"Besides, you're carrying my hopes now. I can't let those scheming people fool you."

"Once you enter the God Realm, you must stand with your sister and support me."

"Sure. Kindness, I'll definitely back you up."

Li Qinglian laughed at her teasing.

He lowered his head and blinked again.

The daylight outside fell upon that imperceptible golden-white speck deep in his pupils, creating an extremely faint halo.

From this day onward, no illusion in this world could deceive his eyes, and no lie could mislead his judgment.

Pure Heart Eyes.

A heart pure as snow, all things revealed.

They were far stronger than Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes!

Pure Heart Eyes could see through illusory falsehoods and pierce the hypocrisy within people's hearts.

Damn it. The next time I go to the Star Dou Great Forest, I have to peel something off Gu Yuena. Otherwise, I'll be taking a huge loss.

Li Qinglian had called Gu Yuena "sister" several times—at least ten times, probably.

Goddess of Kindness had given him Pure Heart Eyes. Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, could not possibly give him nothing.

The Silver Dragon Spear would be quite nice.

If she could send him to the Dragon Clan Cemetery so he could take in a few deep breaths of deathly aura, that would be even better.

Watching Goddess of Kindness's figure gradually turn transparent and dissolve into specks of white light, Li Qinglian felt a twinge of melancholy.

"Gu Yuena, Goddess of Life, Goddess of Kindness..."

Li Qinglian felt that he might have rather too many good older sisters.

They were either God Kings of the God Realm or female leaders of the Dragon Clan.

This past month had been far too dreamlike for Li Qinglian.

He had met the three strongest women in this world, and they all seemed to depend on him.

There was no need to mention Goddess of Life. She completely regarded him as her husband.

Gu Yuena, meanwhile, wanted to use him to reverse her own desperate situation and even bring hope to the Dragon Clan and the entire soul beast race.

As for Goddess of Kindness...

Judging by their authorities, once he became a God King, he would likely deal with Goddess of Kindness more than anyone else.

For living beings about to enter Reincarnation, Goddess of Kindness would organize the good and evil deeds of their lives. Li Qinglian would make the final judgment, then send them into Reincarnation according to their ranks. If that was the case, he could understand where Goodness's goodwill toward him came from.

Wait, no. If this process came to pass, Li Qinglian wouldn't merely be a God King—he'd be a true judge. Wouldn't that also take away part of Asura God's authority?

Among the Five Supreme Gods of the God Realm, I've made friends with two female God Kings. But I have irreconcilable conflicts with the other three male supreme gods. This is difficult!

Li Qinglian was practically breaking out in a cold sweat!

"Forget it. I won't think about this for now. Matters of the God Realm are far too distant for me at present."

"Right now, I have already obtained Goddess of Kindness's Pure Heart Eyes and Goddess of Life's Seed of Life. Those two things alone are enough to keep me occupied for quite some time."

"After using the Pure Heart Eyes for a while, I should be able to master them. But the Seed of Life... If I truly want to wield the power of Reincarnation, I must lay the foundation within these six years."

"For humans, the period from martial soul awakening to the age of twelve is a crucial threshold—the golden age. From twelve to eighteen is another threshold, the silver stage of Soul Master cultivation, while eighteen to twenty-five is the bronze stage."

"Once one reaches twenty-five, one's foundation is completely fixed. It becomes difficult to defy fate and change one's destiny."

"I need to enter seclusion. For these six years, I'll see no one and focus on cultivation and enlightenment."

The next day.

Li Qinglian announced that the gates of the Holy Son Palace would be sealed and refused all visitors.

He was not content with merely becoming a King of Hell.

If he made good use of that Seed of Life, perhaps he truly could comprehend life and death and take control of Reincarnation.
