My Last Wish

"I know the world I transmigrated into," Death Qin Sheng said with a smile, giving 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 group yet."

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

After receiving four dead versions of himself already, Qin Sheng had a high degree of acceptance toward this sort of thing.

Douluo Qin Sheng gave his answer helplessly.

"I was killed by Evil Soul Masters."

"This... If only you had transmigrated to Douluo One."

There were Evil Soul Masters in Douluo One as well, but most of them were in the City of Slaughter. Only a scattered few operated outside, so it was far safer than Douluo Two.

Qin Sheng said, "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 Soul Empire. My family was fairly well-off. My grandfather was a Soul Douluo, my parents were Soul Sages, and our family also ran an advanced Soul Master academy."

"The Martial Soul I awakened was the inherited Spirit-Control Banner, a Mental Power-type Martial Soul. I was born with full Soul Power."

"Today, at eight years old, I had cultivated to level twenty. My grandfather took 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. I died at their hands."

Before reaching the rank of Titled Douluo, Evil Soul Masters were generally stronger than ordinary Soul Masters because of their unpredictable, sinister, and vicious methods.

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

Terrifying indeed!

Douluo Qin Sheng's grandfather was only a Soul Douluo. He truly had no chance against such a lineup of Evil Soul Masters.

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

An impressive family background, peerless talent, and a Mental Power-type Martial Soul that was practically the ultimate answer.

No matter how he looked at it, this was a "protagonist" template. Yet who would have thought he would be so unlucky as to die at the hands of Evil Soul Masters?

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

"That's right."

Qin Sheng nodded and pointed at the four Stars above.

"I've already fulfilled the last wishes of four versions of us. You and I are one, so no matter what your wishes are, 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 for you to avenge me and kill those four Evil Soul Masters!"

Qin Sheng agreed without hesitation. "No problem. Not only those four Evil Soul Masters—I'll wipe out the entire Holy Spirit Cult."

Damn it. They dared to kill me? The Holy Spirit Cult had no reason to continue existing!

Douluo Qin Sheng smiled. "Good. I believe you. Still, killing those four Evil Soul Masters will be enough to fulfill my wish."

"My second wish is for Blazing Spirit Academy to become renowned throughout the continent and take 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 to spread the name Blazing Spirit across the continent."

Now that his grandfather was dead, Douluo Qin Sheng had begun to care about the things he once ignored.

"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 raise a whole batch of peerless geniuses.

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

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

"The moment I learned that I had come to Douluo Continent, I longed to become a deity and live forever."

"Fine."

Qin Sheng agreed to everything, his expression unreadable.

"For a long time in the future of the Shrouding the Heavens World, I won't get to experience what immortality feels like. This is a perfect chance to sample it in Douluo Continent."

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

Douluo Qin Sheng sighed. "With the Infinite Land helping you in the Shrouding the Heavens World, becoming a god in Douluo Continent truly won't be difficult for you."

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

"The Other Shore Realm."

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

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

"You should have faith in me. At my cultivation speed, it won't take long before I break through."

Qin Sheng was full of confidence. "At that point, leaving aside the God Realm, no one on Douluo Continent will be my match."

"Although I don't know roughly what realm the Other Shore Realm corresponds to in Douluo Continent, even equivalent realms can have vastly different combat power across different systems."

"Then that's good."

Afterward, Qin Sheng began recounting 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 really does suit your situation. As expected of me—my mind is flexible."

Douluo Qin Sheng smiled. "I was originally 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 get away."

With that, his body turned into specks 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 merge with part 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, the body of a youth 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 this body isn't even as strong as Ye Fan's was in his sophomore year of college."

The power of his main body in the Shrouding the Heavens World was bestowed upon him, and it came with four times the combat strength.

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

Qin Sheng's Mental Power spread outward. He examined the faint traces left by the Evil Soul Masters and locked onto the direction in which they had departed.

Hu!

A violent wind howled. Qin Sheng vanished from where he stood in the next second.

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 required 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, yet the wounds on its body only kept increasing.

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

At that moment, an immense aura descended like an overwhelming force, suppressing even this stretch of forest.

The four Evil Soul Masters' expressions changed drastically.

"A hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast?!"

Yet the figure that appeared before them was merely a youth.

But that 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 and soul they had both taken away, had revived?!

After glancing at the four of them, Qin Sheng did not say a single word and launched his attack.

There were no flashy secret arts, only the most plain and simple Mental Power impact.

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

"Eighth—"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

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

Even before they died, they could not understand why a level-twenty brat could revive, or why a level-twenty brat could instantly kill all four of them.

There was a gap 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 looked at the lion and shook his head.

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

The enormous lion eyes looked at Qin Sheng, unexpectedly carrying an emotion of 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 even dropped a Soul Bone.

He put away the Soul Bone, looked at the black Soul Ring, thought for a moment, and drew it over as well.

Qin Sheng did not intend to absorb this Soul Ring. He planned to study its essence instead.

The power of his main body in the Shrouding the Heavens World would eventually have to be returned. It could not remain here forever. At that time, it would be converted into a fixed multiplier.

Furthermore, since he wanted to become a god, he still had to continue down Douluo Continent's native path.

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

Qin Sheng spoke inwardly to the departed Douluo Qin Sheng.

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

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

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

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

Qin Sheng carefully sensed this Martial Soul. It had been formed from the fusion of his own Origin, bloodline, and soul, then manifested under the unique laws of heaven and earth in this world.

"Regardless of this world's level of power, Martial Souls themselves are indeed quite interesting."

"After I merge 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 gleam appearing in his eyes.

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

In the Shrouding the Heavens World, forging a vessel required first tempering the Divine Marks nurtured within one's Sea of Bitterness and refining them into a "vessel." Such a "vessel" was merely a Divine Form, not a physical object.

The more complex and profound the Divine Form of a vessel was, the greater its power and potential. In the future, it would be easier for it to weave together dao and principles. Bells, cauldrons, and towers were among the finest examples.

Correspondingly, however, the difficulty of refining them would also increase.

But this tool Martial Soul, the Spirit-Control Banner, was completely Qin Sheng's innate vessel, his companion vessel.

"Martial Souls are not actually weak. Many worlds in the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds cultivate Martial Souls as well, and some 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 this is merely a seed. Since I am in the Shrouding the Heavens World, I have sufficient resources to complete it and strengthen its essence."

"It will depend on whether I choose to merge 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 his direction and continued on his journey.

When he passed over a city through the sky, however, he sensed a massacre that had already ended within it.

"Hm? This is..."
