Six Choices at the Start, Wang Qiu'er in a Cave

In the mixed region of the Star Dou Great Forest, inside a hidden cave...

"Qiu'er, pass me the seasoning." Lin Xuan turned the meat on the grill and called out to Wang Qiu'er, who was spacing out behind him.

"Oh, okay." Wang Qiu'er nodded lightly, then shifted her gaze to the pile of jade bottles in the corner.

"Hmm... it should... be this one, right?" Wang Qiu'er bent down slightly, picked up a green jade bottle from the ground, and muttered uncertainly.

"Lin Xuan, is this the seasoning?" Wang Qiu'er held the jade bottle high and asked Lin Xuan, who was grilling the meat.

"It should be. Give it to me." Lin Xuan did not even look at the seasoning in Wang Qiu'er's hand, merely giving her a casual response.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Wang Qiu'er looked uneasily at the green jade bottle in her hand. After shaking her head and throwing off those messy thoughts, she tossed the bottle to Lin Xuan, who was grilling the meat in front of her.

Lin Xuan caught the jade bottle Wang Qiu'er had thrown over without looking at it. He directly opened the stopper and sprinkled all the powder inside over the grilled meat.

Before long, Lin Xuan had grilled the meat until both sides were golden brown.

The rich fragrance of meat instantly filled the entire cave, making Wang Qiu'er behind him unable to resist lifting her delicate nose and sniffing along the source of the aroma.

"Here, this is for you." Lin Xuan could not help smiling at Wang Qiu'er's little gluttonous look. He casually took two skewers of grilled meat from the rack, walked over to her, and handed her one of them.

"Thank you." Wang Qiu'er's pink-blue eyes swept over the grilled meat Lin Xuan offered her. Her red lips parted slightly, and after speaking those two words, she took the skewer from his hand.

After taking the grilled meat, Wang Qiu'er did not hurry to eat it. Instead, she first sniffed the aroma wafting from it, then began taking small bites.

Lin Xuan did not stand on ceremony either, dropping down beside Wang Qiu'er.

Sensing Lin Xuan's approach, Wang Qiu'er's chewing paused slightly, and her lovely brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

But it lasted only an instant. Wang Qiu'er neither moved away nor said anything. She simply kept eating the grilled meat in her hand, silently allowing Lin Xuan to sit close.

Taking all of this in, Lin Xuan smiled helplessly to himself and began eating his own grilled meat as well.

So many years have passed. I've been in this world for so long already. Lin Xuan bit into the grilled meat in his hand and murmured inwardly.

Lin Xuan was a transmigrator.

When he was eighteen, a sudden freight truck had sent him flying. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in the era of Douluo Continent's Unrivaled Tang Sect and had been born in the Extreme North.

Fortunately, he had bound himself to a system the moment he transmigrated.

The system had given him six categories of choices, and he could choose only one option from each category.

[System Options Panel]

I. Choose one of three Body Martial Souls

Soul Martial Soul

Eye Martial Soul

Brain Martial Soul

II. Choose one of three Heavenly Flames

Nihility Devouring Flame (Weakened Version)

Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame (Weakened Version)

Life Flame (Weakened Version)

III. Choose one of three godhoods

God King Godhood Prototype (must be completed independently)

God of Destruction Godhood

God of Medicine Godhood (level unknown)

IV. Choose one of three secondary professions

Flame Emperor Xiao Yan's alchemy arts

Martial Ancestor Lin Dong's artifact forging arts

Soul Emperor Hun Tiandi's soul refining arts

V. Choose one of three combat technique inheritances

All combat techniques belonging to Soul Hall

All combat techniques belonging to Falling Star Pavilion

All Tang Sect secret arts belonging to the Tang Sect

VI. Rewrite the fate of one original character

Wang Qiu'er

Zhang Lexuan

Huo Yuhao

After hesitating briefly, Lin Xuan decisively chose the first option in every category. Once he had made his choices, he had his own calculations.

First was the Body Martial Soul. The moment he saw the Soul Martial Soul option, his eyes lit up.

Compared to the Eye Martial Soul and Brain Martial Soul, the Soul Martial Soul was practically a divine skill.

Once the latter two suffered damage to the physical body, the Martial Soul would be crippled alongside it, perhaps even endangering the user's life.

But the Soul Martial Soul was different. As long as the soul remained intact, even if the physical body were shattered, one could possess another body and be reborn, standing undefeated.

Before the temptation of immortality and indestructibility, the other options could only step aside.

There had been no suspense in his choice of Heavenly Flame either.

With the Nihility Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, who would even look at anything else? Even as a weakened version, its trait of devouring all things was enough to crush every flame on the Douluo Continent. It was an excellent trump card for future alchemy and battle.

As for godhood, Lin Xuan had given up the God of Destruction and the God of Medicine, whose rank was unknown, choosing the God King Godhood Prototype instead.

Though he needed to complete it himself, that meant he could break through his limitations in the future and create a God King Godhood that belonged solely to him. In the long run, it was an extremely worthwhile investment.

For his secondary profession, with the Nihility Devouring Flame in hand, he naturally chose Xiao Yan's alchemy arts first. With a Heavenly Flame at hand, alchemy was the proper path; artifact forging and soul refining were far less important.

As for combat techniques, since he had the Nihility Devouring Flame, it would have made no sense not to choose Soul Hall's combat techniques. The two were the best match—hehehe.

Lastly, when it came to the person whose fate he would rewrite, Lin Xuan immediately thought of Wang Qiu'er.

In the original work, she had been one of the most tragic characters. Her Golden Dragon Bloodline had been stolen through Tang San's schemes, and in the end, she had been unable to attain love and met a miserable end through sacrifice. Lin Xuan's choice had completely changed the course of her life.

Back then, the infant form of the Nihility Devouring Flame bestowed by the system had been suppressed within Lin Xuan's body, allowing him, a baby, to remain safe amid the bitter cold of the Extreme North.

This anomaly had aroused the curiosity of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who had taken him in.

Later, with the system's help, Lin Xuan had allowed Wang Qiu'er to take human form, then found her while pretending not to know anything.

This time, Wang Qiu'er's Power of Destiny had remained completely intact and had not been drawn away.

After finding Wang Qiu'er, Lin Xuan had not only brought out precious pills, but had also shamelessly pestered her until he succeeded in purifying her Golden Dragon Bloodline.

This favor had allowed the two of them to initially establish a friendship, but no more than that. At present, they were merely ordinary friends, and their relationship had not developed any further.

As a result of the butterfly effect, Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul was no longer the Ice Empress. In her place was merely an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Scorpion King.

As for where this Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Jade Scorpion King had come from? Naturally, Lin Xuan had stolen it while Huo Yuhao, aided by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, returned to the Extreme North and let down his guard. The Ice Empress was not always guarding her clan, after all. Consider it feeding a dog. Of course, interest would have to be collected for all this. When the time came, Lin Xuan would personally shatter all three of Huo Yuhao's Martial Souls.

"Lin Xuan... um... um... do you feel like something's wrong? I feel so hot right now..." Wang Qiu'er, beside Lin Xuan, panted lightly as she looked at him and asked, her pretty face flushed red.
