My Last Wish

My Last Wish

"We all know the world I transmigrated to." The deceased Qin Sheng smiled and gave his answer.

"I transmigrated to Douluo Continent."

Qin Sheng's expression turned subtle. So it was this world.

"Which era? Douluo One?"

"No, Douluo Two." Douluo Qin Sheng shook his head.

"The timeline is before Huo Yuhao. I haven't even heard the names of those people from the protagonist's group yet."

"How did you die?" Qin Sheng asked curiously.

After receiving four deceased versions of himself already, Qin Sheng had a high level of acceptance toward such things.

Douluo Qin Sheng gave his answer helplessly.

"I was killed by Evil Soul Masters."

"This... It would have been better if you'd transmigrated to Douluo One."

Douluo One also had Evil Soul Masters, but most of them were in the Slaughter City. Only a scattered few operated outside, making it far safer than Douluo Two.

Qin Sheng spoke. "Tell me about your experiences?"

"No problem. You'll inherit my memories afterward anyway."

Douluo Qin Sheng said, "I was born in Blazing Spirit City of the Heaven Dou Empire. My family was fairly well-off. My grandfather was a Soul Douluo, my parents were Soul Sages, and our family ran an advanced Soul Master Academy."

"The Martial Soul I awakened was the family's inherited Spirit-Control Banner, a spiritual-type Martial Soul. I had Innate Full Soul Power."

"Today, at eight years old, I reached level twenty. My grandfather brought me to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring."

At this point, anger appeared on Douluo Qin Sheng's face.

"But we encountered four Evil Soul Masters: two Soul Douluos and two Soul Sages. My grandfather held them back and told me to run first."

"Unfortunately, I still couldn't escape and died at their hands."

Before becoming Titled Douluos, Evil Soul Masters were generally stronger than ordinary Soul Masters due to their bizarre, sinister, and vicious methods.

The most outstanding among them was the strongest Soul King, the Death God Envoy. He could toy with a level ninety-eight Super Douluo despite being only a Soul King.

Terrifying indeed!

Douluo Qin Sheng's grandfather was merely a Soul Douluo. He truly could not contend against such a lineup of Evil Soul Masters.

After hearing Douluo Qin Sheng's account, Qin Sheng did not know what to say.

A respectable family background, peerless talent, and a spiritual-type Martial Soul that was practically the ultimate answer.

No matter how he looked at it, this was a "protagonist" template. Yet who could have expected him to be so unlucky that he died at the hands of Evil Soul Masters?

"You need to fulfill my last wishes before you can fuse with my talents, comprehension, and other essences, right?" Douluo Qin Sheng asked.

"Right."

Qin Sheng nodded and pointed at the four stars above them.

"I've already fulfilled the last wishes of four versions of us. You and I are one, so whatever wishes you have, I'll do everything I can to make them come true."

"Fine, then I won't stand on ceremony with myself." Douluo Qin Sheng said.

"I have three wishes. The first is to avenge me and kill those four Evil Soul Masters!"

Qin Sheng agreed without hesitation. "No problem. Not only those four Evil Soul Masters—the entire Holy Spirit Cult will be eradicated."

Damn it, they dared kill me? There was no need for the Holy Spirit Cult to exist anymore!

Douluo Qin Sheng laughed. "Good. I believe you, but killing those four Evil Soul Masters will count as fulfilling my wish."

"My second wish is for Blazing Spirit Academy to become renowned across the continent and win first place in the Soul Master Tournament."

Douluo Qin Sheng looked somewhat desolate. "I originally didn't care about such things, but Blazing Spirit Academy was founded by my grandfather. It was his life's work."

"His greatest dream was for the name Blazing Spirit to spread throughout the continent."

Now that his grandfather was dead, Douluo Qin Sheng had started caring about things he once considered unimportant.

"That won't be a problem either."

Qin Sheng did not think this task would be difficult. If he brought martial arts from worlds such as Heavenly Dragon to Douluo Continent and casually taught them to a few people, he could cultivate a whole batch of peerless geniuses.

Winning a Soul Master Tournament would be effortless, wouldn't it?

"My third wish is to become a god," Douluo Qin Sheng said.

"From the moment I learned that I had come to Douluo Continent, I longed to become a god and live forever without dying."

"Sure."

Qin Sheng agreed to everything, his expression unreadable.

"For a very long time in the future of the Shrouding the Heavens world, I won't get to experience what immortality feels like. Douluo Continent will be the perfect place to have a taste."

"After becoming a god, one's lifespan is endless. That barely counts as one of Douluo Continent's highlights."

Douluo Qin Sheng sighed. "You have the Infinite Land helping you in the Shrouding the Heavens world. Becoming a god in Douluo Continent really won't be difficult for you."

"What realm are you in now? Can you tell me about your experiences?"

"The Other Shore Realm."

"The Other Shore Realm? Can it sweep through Douluo Continent?" Douluo Qin Sheng said.

"In my previous life, we jokingly called that world a floor tile, but after it became a real world, it actually had its own rules. It wasn't quite the same as what we had seen in our previous life."

"You should have faith in me. With my cultivation speed, it won't take long for me to break through."

Qin Sheng was brimming with confidence. "Forget the God Realm—for now, at least no one on Douluo Continent will be my opponent."

"Although I don't know what realm the Other Shore Realm roughly corresponds to in Douluo Continent, even realms that correspond to one another can differ vastly in combat power between different systems."

"That's good, then."

Afterward, Qin Sheng slowly recounted his experiences. "Five years ago, I awakened my golden finger, and then..."

"Now I've joined the Shaking Light Holy Land."

"The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art truly suits your circumstances. As expected of me—my mind is flexible."

Douluo Qin Sheng smiled. "I had been very unwilling to die, but now that I know countless versions of me are still alive, I finally feel a little better."

"You have to work hard. Don't die."

If Qin Sheng from the Shrouding the Heavens world died, another living Qin Sheng would enter the Infinite Land and become the new main body.

"Qin Sheng" would never die.

Douluo Qin Sheng glanced at the four stars above and said,

"Go. Don't let them escape."

After saying that, his body turned into motes of light and rose into the sky. A fifth star appeared.

Each time Qin Sheng fulfilled one of his wishes afterward, he would be able to fuse with a portion of his talent and origin.

"Evil Soul Masters, I hope you don't die at the hands of Soul Beasts..."

Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest.

Beneath an ancient tree, a youth's body appeared out of thin air. Vitality was injected into it, transforming death into life.

Qin Sheng opened his eyes, felt the strength of this body, and frowned.

"Level twenty Soul Power, and its physical constitution isn't even as good as Ye Fan's was during his sophomore year."

The power of his main body in the Shrouding the Heavens world was bestowed upon him, multiplied by four in combat strength.

"First, I'll find those four Evil Soul Masters."

Qin Sheng spread out his spiritual power, examining the traces left behind by the Evil Soul Masters and locking onto the direction they had gone.

Whoosh!

A fierce wind howled, and Qin Sheng vanished from where he stood in the next moment.

Elsewhere, four black-robed Evil Soul Masters were hunting a high-year lion-type Soul Beast.

The two Soul Sages among them had both reached level eighty and needed their eighth Soul Rings, which was why they had entered the Star Dou Great Forest together.

With the four Evil Soul Masters attacking together, the lion-type Soul Beast had no chance to flee. It roared continuously, but the wounds on its body kept increasing.

The four had no intention of giving it a quick death. They intended to torture it to death.

At that moment, an immense aura swept down like the sky itself, suppressing even this stretch of forest.

The expressions of the four Evil Soul Masters changed drastically.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!"

Yet what appeared before them was merely the figure of a youth.

But this was even more unacceptable to them than the arrival of one—or even ten—Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

The person they had killed, whose flesh, blood, and soul had all been taken away, had come back to life?!

Qin Sheng swept his gaze over the four of them and launched his attack without saying a single word.

There were no flashy secret arts, only the simplest and most unadorned spiritual shock.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar! Eighth Soul Skill, Blood Eclipse the World!"

"Eighth—"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four sounds like watermelons bursting rang out. The Evil Soul Masters, who had just been torturing a Soul Beast and acting arrogantly, exploded into clouds of blood mist.

Until their deaths, they could not believe why a level-twenty brat could come back to life, nor why a level-twenty brat could instantly kill all four of them.

There was a difference of fifty or sixty levels between them!

Eighth Soul Skill?

What a joke.

The four Evil Soul Masters left behind three Soul Bones and four storage Soul Tools. Qin Sheng drew them over and put them away.

He glanced at the lion and shook his head.

This Soul Beast's life had already reached its end.

The massive lion eyes looked at Qin Sheng, somehow containing gratitude. At last, its lion head drooped, and it died where it lay.

A pitch-black Soul Ring appeared. This lion had a cultivation of around seventy thousand years.

"Hm?" Qin Sheng's expression shifted slightly. The lion had actually dropped a Soul Bone as well.

He put away the Soul Bone, looked at the black Soul Ring, considered it for a moment, and drew it over too.

Qin Sheng did not intend to absorb this Soul Ring. He wanted to study the essence of this thing.

The power of his Shrouding the Heavens main body would eventually have to be returned. It could not remain here forever, and by then it would turn into a fixed multiplier.

Furthermore, since he wanted to become a god, he still needed to continue walking the path native to Douluo Continent.

"I've avenged you. Rest in peace."

Qin Sheng spoke silently in his heart to the departed Douluo Qin Sheng.

The howling wind rose again as Qin Sheng hurried toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, he summoned his Martial Soul, the Spirit-Control Banner, and a yellow Soul Ring rose with it.

Douluo Qin Sheng had not yet attached a second Soul Ring to himself before he was killed.

"The Spirit-Control Banner, a tool-type Martial Soul..."

Qin Sheng carefully sensed this Martial Soul. It was formed from the fusion of one's origin, bloodline, and soul, eventually manifesting under this world's unique laws of heaven and earth.

"Regardless of this world's power level, Martial Souls truly are interesting."

"After I fuse with Douluo Qin Sheng's talent, will his Martial Soul appear in the Shrouding the Heavens world?"

Qin Sheng looked at the Spirit-Control Banner, a glint appearing in his eyes.

"This is exceptionally suited to be my weapon. It is truly one with me. Although I had already begun forging a weapon back on Earth, if I can inherit this Spirit-Control Banner, there will be no need to refine it."

Forging a weapon in the Shrouding the Heavens world required one to first temper the divine patterns nurtured by one's Sea of Bitterness and refine them into a "weapon." Such a "weapon" was merely a divine form, not a physical object.

The more complex and profound the weapon's divine form, the greater its power and potential. In the future, it would more easily weave together Dao and reason. Bells, cauldrons, and towers were among the finest examples.

However, the difficulty of refinement rose accordingly.

Yet this tool-type Martial Soul, the Spirit-Control Banner, was completely Qin Sheng's innate weapon, his accompanying weapon.

"Martial Souls are not actually weak. In the myriad worlds, many worlds cultivate Martial Souls as well, and they can ultimately reach an extremely powerful level."

Qin Sheng thought, "The Martial Souls of the Douluo world may not be as strong as those worlds, but they are seeds. Since I am in the Shrouding the Heavens world, I have sufficient resources to complete them and strengthen their essence."

"It depends on whether I choose to fuse with it..."

The more Qin Sheng studied the Spirit-Control Banner, the more interesting he found it.

It was already nighttime. After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Qin Sheng identified the direction and continued on his journey.

When he passed over a city in the sky, he sensed a slaughter within the city that had already ended.

"Hm? This is..."
