With a little encouragement, perhaps my eldest brother could become my helper!

Since his eldest brother had already left.

Huo Yuhao really had nothing to say to his second sister, so he turned and left without another word.

The results of today's martial soul awakening were already out.

Clearly, everyone in the evil Spirit Hall was utterly disappointed in him now.

That was exactly what Huo Yuhao wanted.

So next.

He only needed to find a way to leave Spirit Hall.

On the way back to his residence, Huo Yuhao kept making plans in his mind.

I need to hurry to the Star Dou Great Forest and find Brother Sky Dream.

Judging by the timing, Brother Sky Dream should be in the Star Dou Great Forest now too.

And Qiu'er.

I wonder if she's conscious yet.

Thinking of Wang Qiu'er sent a sharp pang through Huo Yuhao's heart.

Wang Qiu'er was the Emperor Auspicious Beast. When they first met, she had already been a soul beast tens of thousands of years old.

And this should be ten thousand years before then.

Even accounting for Qiu'er being the Emperor Auspicious Beast and cultivating faster than ordinary soul beasts, she should already have been born by now.

I have to look for her.

If I can find the Emperor Auspicious Beast, I'll find a way to take her to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

That place can speed up cultivation.

Perhaps I can meet Qiu'er earlier in this life and make up for what I owed her in the last.

Noticing Huo Yuhao leaving, Qian Renxue also turned to look at his retreating figure, frowning slightly.

My eldest brother is a hopeless case.

My youngest brother is even worse, the most useless of the useless. It looks like I'll still have to rely on myself in this life after all.

Fortunately, I never pinned my hopes on them to begin with.

But then Qian Renxue reconsidered. In this life, the two of them were, after all, her brothers, born of the same mother.

Once I become a god, perhaps I can give them a hand.

Especially my eldest brother, Qian Renchuan.

He has twin martial souls, and one of them is a Seraphim.

If I push him a little, perhaps he can become an asset to me in the future.

As for my youngest brother.

On this Douluo Continent, where only martial souls and bloodlines matter, there's nothing more he can achieve in this life.

I'll just ensure he enjoys a lifetime of wealth and honor.

At that thought, Qian Renxue looked contemplative, then headed toward the Worship Hall.

Now that she had successfully awakened her martial soul.

She also needed to prepare for the upcoming trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Elsewhere.

Huo Yuhao naturally knew nothing of what his second sister, Qian Renxue, was thinking.

Even if he had known.

He would not have cared.

As a god reincarnated with his memories intact, he needed no one's help with his future.

Even if his martial soul was lacking.

With all his knowledge and insight that surpassed this era.

He was confident that, as long as he followed his plan, he would ultimately be unrivaled in this age.

He would crush everyone beneath his feet.

After returning to his residence, Huo Yuhao immediately dragged a large wooden chest out from under his bed.

He opened the chest.

Inside were metal materials he had collected long ago, along with various soul tool blueprints.

Before this, he had not awakened his martial soul and had no soul power, so he naturally could not begin crafting soul tools.

But things were different now.

Since he planned to leave, he naturally could not go empty-handed.

He needed adequate means of defending himself.

So Huo Yuhao decided to craft a few level one soul tools before leaving.

He searched through the many soul tool blueprints he had drawn in his spare time.

In the end, he settled for now on three kinds of level one soul tools he could just barely use.

They were the Soul Ray Gun, the Fixed-Installation Soul Tool, and the Milk Bottle.

The Soul Ray Gun was for basic self-defense and would be more than enough under ordinary circumstances.

The Fixed-Installation Soul Tool would provide firepower against powerful enemies. Not only did it consume little soul power, but it was also extremely powerful.

As for the Milk Bottle.

Naturally, it was for storing soul power.

Something like that was just as vital.

Huo Yuhao actually also wanted to craft a Flying Soul Tool to help him travel.

But with his current strength, crafting a Flying Soul Tool would be a little too difficult.

Besides, using it would draw too much attention.

He could easily be spotted.

So he chose to give up on it.

Looking at the various materials laid out before him.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, then took out the ordinary Carving Knife he had prepared long ago and focused intently on beginning to engrave the soul tool core array.

At the same time.

Qian Renchuan had naturally returned to his own courtyard as well.

In the courtyard, the maids responsible for attending to him looked at the Eldest Young Master with admiration as he returned.

They had already received news from outside a short while ago.

The Eldest Young Master had twin martial souls!

And he had inherited Spirit Hall's six-winged angel martial soul!

As long as he cultivated diligently, he was destined for a dazzling future. He might even become the next Pope!

At that moment.

All the maids felt certain that the Eldest Young Master would begin working hard to better himself.

After all, he had such an excellent martial soul.

And such excellent talent.

Then...

They discovered that the Eldest Young Master was still just as lazy.

After entering the courtyard, he first stretched languidly, then lay straight down in the rocking chair in the middle of the courtyard.

He found the angle where the sunlight felt most comfortable, closed his eyes, and began sleeping soundly.

All the maids: ???

The Eldest Young Master hadn't changed at all after awakening his martial soul. Why was he still so lazy???

Little did they know that Qian Renchuan, lying in the rocking chair, was not asleep at all.

My younger sister and brother must be working themselves to the bone again.

Now that they've awakened their martial souls today, they're sure to go all out. All I have to do is lie here and collect interest.

Sure enough.

Before long, the system notifications sounded.

Elsewhere.

The Worship Hall.

Creak.

The heavy hall doors were pushed open from outside.

A moment later, Qian Daoliu walked in wearing a gray robe.

Sure enough, the moment he entered, he saw Qian Renxue still sitting cross-legged beneath the Angel God Statue, cultivating.

At the sight.

Qian Daoliu was deeply pleased.

Though each of his three grandchildren was so unusual that they hardly seemed like children.

It really was nothing remarkable for soul masters.

After all, precocious people were quite common in the soul master world, so it was naturally nothing surprising.

But speaking of his three grandchildren.

The eldest had the best talent, but he was also the laziest.

The youngest was reasonably diligent, but he had the worst talent.

Only his second grandchild, Qian Renxue, had both an excellent martial soul and considerable diligence in cultivation.

She was the most perfect angel successor he could imagine!

Just then, Qian Renxue, who was cultivating cross-legged, slowly opened her eyes upon hearing footsteps.

Looking at Qian Daoliu as he entered, she spoke in a cool voice.

"Grandpa."

"My innate soul power is at level twenty. Can you take me to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts in a few days?"

Qian Daoliu smiled and nodded.

"Of course."

"But Xiao Xue, do you know what kind of soul rings you want?"

"I do."
