Sister "An"

The night was dim and heavy,

as though massive chains had locked down the rhythm of the world, leaving only a few scattered lights atop the town's towers,

in the outskirts surrounding the human town, an enormous figure swept swiftly across the ground,

like a phantom, silent and soundless,

flashing continuously through the shadows of the forest, like the devil from a nursery rhyme, hunting the souls of those lost in the wilderness...

Rustle~

This was the sound of giant claws treading through the soil,

the black figure came to a stop,

beneath its feet lay a slightly raised patch of earth,

Tap~

This was the sound of boots stepping onto the ground,

a small figure jumped down from the Behemoth's back,

His blue eyes fixed on the Behemoth beside him as he said unhappily, "Hou! Get your claws off this place! Otherwise, next time I'll turn you into a Sea Soul Beast!"

"Awoo~"

The Behemoth let out a wronged cry and obediently backed away,

the figure bent down and looked at the small mound on the ground. His gaze became exceptionally gentle as he softly stroked the earth and murmured,

"An, it's been over a year... I'm back..."

The two before them were Bai Xiao and Hou. Bai Xiao had returned here to retrieve An's body...

Countless plant roots appeared in Bai Xiao's hand and gradually burrowed into the ground,

Crack~

The soil loosened in a wide swath. The roots effortlessly tore apart the earth, turning over the dirt beneath,

"Awoo?"

Hou watched Bai Xiao's strange actions from the side,

Before long, a skeleton appeared at the bottom of the pit,

It was an exceedingly small skeleton, with strands of flesh that had not fully decayed still clinging to it. Outermost was a layer of tattered cloth, barely recognizable as clothing,

Bai Xiao's eyes instantly welled up. He knew this was the person he had missed day and night in his heart. Her body was far smaller than he remembered,

Bai Xiao remembered that he had once only reached below her shoulder,

Now, Bai Xiao could lift her skeleton with a single arm,

"Children really do grow so fast~"

Bai Xiao sighed at time's mercilessness,

Ignoring the stench of decay, he bent down and gently stroked her forehead. Using his Cell Martial Soul, he extracted the genes recorded in her bones, trying to regain everything that had once been hers,

I will create a world with An in it! Bai Xiao thought.

At that moment, he madly circulated his soul power, using his Martial Soul to record the data from the corpse,

As the extraction continued, Bai Xiao discovered that something was wrong with An's genes,

"Why are her genes so similar to mine?!"

Stormy waves rose in Bai Xiao's heart as he thought of a shocking possibility,

"An is my family!! She's my biological older sister!!"

Bai Xiao was instantly dumbfounded. He had never expected such a reasonable outcome,

Bai Xiao had always wondered why An had treated him so well before. Now, Bai Xiao knew the answer—his body was An's biological younger brother!

After learning this, Bai Xiao's feelings for An became even more complicated,

But one thing had always remained buried deep in his heart: "Become a god! Revive An!"

Gods could revive the dead and grant others eternal life!

Bai Xiao's goal became crystal clear: become a god! This was his obsession, and for it, he could disregard everything!

A sudden mutation erupted in Bai Xiao's body. His limbs abruptly slipped out of his control, and a primal instinct of life surged into his heart,

"Devouring!!!"

An animal's Devouring was the consumption of other living beings' corpses, converting them into energy and matter within its own body,

Bai Xiao was completely unable to control his body at that moment. He could only watch helplessly as the surface of his body began transforming into all kinds of ferocious fleshballs and gaping mouths,

They greedily devoured An's corpse, wanting to stuff her skeleton into his body,

Though Bai Xiao could not control his body, he could still receive the pain signals transmitted by his nerves,

Every part of his body was being torn apart!

This was the truest depiction of Bai Xiao at that moment,

Hou in the distance was clearly frightened by the sight of Bai Xiao. He stood far away, guarding the surrounding area for him,
