Heaven Dou City.

In a bustling district where every inch of land was worth a fortune.

A standalone five-story building rose from the ground, its plaque bearing the words "Moonlight Pavilion."

It was an elite academy of court etiquette that had been completed only last year.

It primarily taught noble etiquette, artistic poise, musical instruments, and dance.

The academy's purpose was to elevate its students' temperament.

But its true nature was that of an exclusive social circle.

Though Moonlight Pavilion had only recently been founded, it was already highly sought after among the nobility.

That was because its owner was Tang Yuehua, daughter of the Clear Sky Sect's Sect Master.

Tang Yuehua herself was quite an unusual woman.

She had been born into the greatest sect under heaven and possessed Innate Soul Power at rank nine, yet she had no hope of ever breaking through.

But heaven never barred every path. She had awakened the rare innate domain known as the Noble Ring.

With that domain, she moved through noble etiquette and social affairs like a fish through water.

That was also why she had founded Moonlight Pavilion.

First, she wished to prove her own worth and did not want to remain a useless vase in the sect.

Second, she intended to turn Moonlight Pavilion into an intelligence outpost for gathering information on the movements of all major forces.

At present, Moonlight Pavilion had only recently been established. It had few students, and its reputation had yet to fully spread.

Tang Yuehua thus had plenty of leisure time.

It was the weekend, and the morning light was still dim.

Several noble girls dressed in magnificent clothing returned from a shopping trip together, their bell-like laughter echoing through the corridor.

As they reached the end of the third floor, a round-faced girl suddenly stopped and knocked on Tang Yuehua's door.

"Big Sister Yuehua!"

The door opened slightly.

A woman in her early twenties stood there smiling. She possessed a graceful, noble temperament and a lovely, curvaceous figure.

"Huang Ying, what did you need me for?"

Most of the first girls to enroll were Tang Yuehua's close friends from noble circles. They had largely come to support her, and they got along more like intimate companions in a lady's chamber.

The round-faced girl eagerly handed over a thick book.

"Big Sister Yuehua, I went to Seven Treasures Bookshop earlier and saw that they had released a new book."

"The bookshop was packed. Everyone was scrambling to buy it, and its sales were astonishing."

"So I bought several copies and brought them back to share with the sisters among the students."

Most noble girls who attended aristocratic academies possessed only ordinary Soul Master aptitude.

They were also the target audience for novels, using them to satisfy their fantasies of becoming Soul Masters.

Generally speaking, most of them bought romance novels.

But Seven Treasures Bookshop had released something new today, and it was selling extremely well. Its title was also quite unusual.

The opening had an inexplicably majestic air to it and was utterly distinctive.

That was why the girl had bought several extra copies and brought them back to read.

"That was thoughtful of you. Thank you."

Tang Yuehua accepted the book with a sweet smile.

"We'll head back to our rooms first!" The girls waved goodbye.

Tang Yuehua closed the door and returned to her desk. Her beautiful eyes shifted as she examined the cover in her hands.

"'God Realm Legend'?"

"The author is Sun Wukong... I've never heard of that pen name."

"A story about the God Realm? This is the first time I've seen such a subject."

Everyone believed Tang Yuehua to be gentle and dignified, but they did not know that the wild blood of the Clear Sky Sect flowed through her bones.

She had no interest in the tender romances of talented scholars and beautiful ladies. She preferred grand narratives of clashing weapons, charging warhorses, and bloody slaughter.

Thus, she opened to the first page and soon became immersed in the story.

Just as Li Shoumin and Ning Jincheng had when they first read God Realm Legend.

Her worldview and understanding seemed to have been violently cleaved apart by the Pangu Axe within the book!

The Primordial World knew no count of years; a single age spanned a hundred thousand years!

Such a span of time directly shattered her understanding of the passage of ages.

The magical treasures in the book broadened her horizons even further.

The Yin-Yang Mirror, Purple-Sashed Immortal Garment, Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Hood, Wind-Fixing Pearl...

The functions and power of every magical treasure far exceeded her imagination.

The mythological figures and deeds within the book made her blood boil.

Kuafu Chased the Sun, Hou Yi Shot Down the Suns, Chang'e Flew to the Moon...

The Zhoutian Star-Dome Formation against the Twelve Capitals Divine Fiend Formation!

The collision of those two peerless grand formations shattered heaven and earth and blotted out the sun and moon.

Such a vast battlefield was even more brutal than the clash of a million troops.

The God King attained the Dao, and Life created humanity.

The demon race slaughtered humanity, and the great battle between the shamans and demons erupted.

Every plot point was gripping and thrilling.

Its vocabulary, plot, and battles amazed her time and again.

There was none of the cloying romance between young men and women throughout the entire work, only the cruel struggle for the Great Dao.

There was not even pure good or evil, only positions and survival!

Thus, Tang Yuehua was completely captivated.

She devoured the three-hundred-thousand-word manuscript.

The sun slanted westward, lamps began to glow, and midnight came.

She felt no fatigue at all. She had not even changed her posture as she read straight through the night until dawn.

Only when morning light pierced the window lattice and fell upon the pages.

Did Tang Yuehua finally close the book reluctantly and let out a long breath.

"Such a masterpiece is truly astonishing!"

She did not know how to evaluate this monumental work.

It was simply an epoch-defining epic!

It envisioned the ancient secrets of millions of years ago, explained the origin of the God Realm, and analyzed the underlying logic of martial souls and Soul Rings.

It even arranged the births of Soul Beasts and humanity with flawless precision.

The overwhelming sense of reality made one's scalp tingle.

It was as though those events had truly happened in ancient times, as if history had always been meant to unfold this way!

In a modern urban world, people would at most praise the author's boundless imagination.

But this was the Douluo Continent, where legends of gods truly existed!

The Martial Soul Temple stood right at the center of the continent!

Thus, after finishing the book.

An uncontrollable thought surfaced in Tang Yuehua's mind:

Was history truly like this?

But she came from a prestigious family and had broad knowledge. Her reason told her that this was merely a fictional tale.

Yet through the cracks in her reason, endless fantasies still arose.

If she possessed the divine artifacts from the book, if she were the Goddess of Life, what would she do?

If she possessed the Creation Law, could she break through the limits of rank-nine Innate Soul Power?

Could she reshape her meridians and become a truly powerful Soul Master?

And just as she indulged in those fantasies, as a trace of belief arose in her heart.

Faith was born from it.

That was the peculiar nature of the Douluo world.

Faith truly existed. It was an extremely mysterious form of energy.

One person's faith might be weak, but what about ten people, a thousand people, or ten thousand people?

Grains of sand could form a tower, and rivers flowed into the sea.

Strands of solidified faith and fortune gathered from the void.

Because the great powers of the Primordial World in God Realm Legend were all fictional, this vast fortune had no master to depend upon. In the end, it could only follow the threads of karma and fly toward the master who had created this worldview.

Tang Yuehua was not the only one.

Every reader who obtained God Realm Legend was stunned by this peerless book.

Xilu City, a small city in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire.

At an elementary Soul Master academy within the city, it was currently lunchtime.

The young and beautiful Teacher Xiao Rou sat in her office, flipping through a thick book.

Teacher Xiao Rou had a sweet appearance and a gentle personality, making her deeply beloved by her students.

But no one knew her true identity.

She was the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit hidden within human society, Xiao Wu's mother.
