In a forest, a long-haired woman in black watched the Sky Screen. Seeing, in particular, Qin Feng and his family's happy, harmonious scene, an envious expression inevitably appeared at the corner of her lips.

If only my family could be like this too.

Unfortunately, everything had already been decided. From the moment she was born, she had been inextricably tied to the imperial family.

And if it had not been for someone's cowardice in fleeing the Star Luo Empire first, she would not have had to face these dangers alone.

Within her family, she had suffered oppression from her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, as well as from Davis.

At last, she too escaped from her family and began searching for Dai Mubai.

She did not want to die. She simply wanted to see whether Dai Mubai was still as unambitious as before.

If he was, she intended to kill Dai Mubai and then kill herself. That would still be better than suffering a humiliating death under the oppression of Zhu Zhuyun and Davis.

However, after witnessing the Sky Screen's power, she began to feel that perhaps she could obtain its power and become stronger, just like Hu Liena, whose martial soul had evolved.

At the same time, she envied Hu Liena from the parallel world. Her luck was so good that she had met a fine man like Qin Feng, while the person Zhu Zhuqing had encountered was a coward who only knew how to run away.

"I, Zhu Zhuqing, will definitely survive. Relying on others feels awful and suffocating."

The Sky Screen continued playing. Time had reached Qin Li's tenth birthday. She had grown up and bore many similarities to the Qin Li shown when the Sky Screen first began playing.

Today was her tenth birthday, and it was also time for her to obtain her fifth Soul Ring.

A ten-year-old, Rank 50, four-ringed Soul Ancestor—this was a record unprecedented and unmatched in Douluo Continent.

For this tenth birthday, everyone from Spirit Hall had come. Even Qian Daoliu had arrived to offer his congratulations.

"Little Saintess, these are our gifts for you. Be sure to keep them safe."

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo amiably handed over their gifts.

"Thank you, Grandpas."

Qin Li happily accepted them.

Next came the congratulations from the other powerful Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall.

Qin Li received so many gifts that her hands went weak.

"Xiao Li!"

"Mom!"

Qin Li quickly ran to Hu Liena.

"Here, this is Mommy's gift for you."

Hu Liena handed Qin Li a small gift box.

"Thank you, Mom. Where's Dad? Why don't I see him?" Qin Li looked around, but she could not find Qin Feng anywhere.

Hu Liena stroked Qin Li's hair and answered, "Your dad personally made you a birthday cake. He's bringing it over now."

"Hehe, Dad's the best."

"Oh, so you only know how to say your dad is the best? Isn't your mom good too?"

Pretending to be angry, Hu Liena pinched Qin Li's delicate little cheek.

"Mmm, no, no. I've always thought both Mom and Dad are the best." Qin Li hurriedly explained.

"That's more like it." Hu Liena happily let go.

After a while, Qin Feng appeared, pushing a four-tier cake over by himself.

"Wow!"

When Qin Li saw the cake, she could not help clapping happily.

Qian Daoliu stroked his beard at the side. "I recall that Elder Qin Feng seems to have opened a cake shop in Spirit City."

"Great Worshiper, that is indeed the case. Elder Qin Feng's cake shop has become popular throughout the continent. Many people have grown accustomed to buying cakes to celebrate on their birthdays," Golden Crocodile Douluo replied from beside him.

"It had to be Elder Qin Feng. What a pity. Why didn't Xue'er seize this opportunity? She and Elder Qin Feng were clearly well suited for each other. When I tried to persuade her before, she said nothing and directly ascended to the God Realm.

What's so good about the God Realm? Elder Qin Feng, Pope Hu Liena, and Elder Xie Yue haven't ascended either."

Qian Daoliu was so angry that his beard stood on end.

"Li'er, happy birthday. This cake was made especially for you. Do you like it?"

Qin Feng asked Qin Li gently.

Ten-year-old Qin Li was already over five feet seven inches tall. She was only a head shorter than Qin Feng.

"I love it. Thank you, Dad." Qin Li answered joyfully. Then she spread her arms toward Qin Feng and adorably tilted her head. "Dad, where's my birthday gift? Don't tell me you only prepared a cake."

"How could that be? How could I possibly prepare only a cake as your birthday gift? Here, this is for you!"

Qin Feng handed Qin Li a stone that emitted a mysterious aura.

"What is this, Dad?"

"This is called a Heavenly Gift Divine Ring. As long as your body can endure it, you can continuously absorb its energy and turn it into your Soul Ring."

The moment those words were spoken, not only did Qin Li's eyes light up, but everyone else stared at Qin Feng with bated breath as well.

This was an incredible treasure. As long as one's body could withstand it, one could obtain a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

"Thank you, Dad. I only need one more Soul Ring to become a Soul King."

Qin Li happily jumped up.

"Ding. A question will now be released. What was the age of Qin Li's Nine-Tailed Fox martial soul's first Soul Ring? A: Two hundred to four hundred years B: Four hundred to six hundred years C: Six hundred to eight hundred years D: Eight hundred to nine hundred and ninety-nine years The question will open for answering in thirty seconds." VIP Chatroom! Xiao Wu: ?? Wait, there isn't any information at all, and we're supposed to guess the age? Zhu Zhuyun: If the Soul Ring had appeared, we could at least guess the age of the first Soul Ring. But with nothing shown, how are we supposed to guess? Flanders: Aren't you focusing on the wrong issue? Is this question important? What matters is what that Spirit Hall Great Worshiper said. Yu Xiaogang: That's right. He meant that Qin Feng, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue in the parallel world have all become gods, yet they remain in Douluo Continent. Bo Saixi: ?? They've become gods? But why can they remain in Douluo Continent after becoming gods? Isn't it said that those who become gods must go to the God Realm? Qian Daoliu: Xiao Xi, it really is you. I thought you weren't here. Xue Qinghe: Great Worshiper of Spirit Hall, please refrain from making pointless remarks here. Xue Ye: Ahem, Great Worshiper, my child did not mean anything else. Please do not blame him. Qian Daoliu: ...Don't worry. I have never bothered to argue over such matters. Ma Hongjun: Everyone, shouldn't we discuss the answer first? Becoming gods is still too far away from us. Dai Mubai: Right. Qin Li's talent is so good that her first Soul Ring definitely couldn't have been between two hundred and four hundred years, so A can be ruled out. D is a little too outrageous, so the most likely answer is either B or C. Tang San: According to the optimal Soul Ring configuration Teacher mentioned, it should be B. But since Qin Li is Qin Feng and Hu Liena's daughter, it should be C. Ning Rongrong: Why can't it be D? I think eight hundred to nine hundred and ninety-nine years is perfectly normal. Qianjun Douluo: So it's either B or C, huh? "Answering begins. Congratulations to Qian Daoliu for obtaining the right to answer. Please answer." Qian Daoliu: I choose D, eight hundred to nine hundred and ninety-nine years. "Congratulations to Qian Daoliu for answering correctly. You have obtained the inheritance of the Sun God. The Sun God's Divine Trial will now begin."

Within Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong rose in shock. Qian Daoliu had actually obtained the inheritance of a god. This was simply too astonishing.

But he was an important figure in Qian Renxue's Divine Trial. If he participated in the Sun God's Divine Trial, what would happen to Qian Renxue?

"This Sky Screen truly is far too unpredictable."
