Goddess System

Time passed, and six years in the Far North slipped quietly by.

A little green-haired girl was chasing a young boy with gold-and-red eyes, playing with him.

The boy had fair skin and delicate, handsome features, with a hint of gentleness to his good looks. Yet a closer look seemed to reveal an indifference that cared nothing for anything.

At that moment, he was racing ahead, pushing an ice hockey puck with his stick.

Behind him, the Ice Empress scrambled after him, complaining nonstop. "Damn it, little Chen, slow down! I can barely keep up!"

Tian Chen grinned up ahead. "Hehe, Sister Ice, looks like your skills aren't up to scratch! Then I'm going on the attack!" As he spoke, Tian Chen made a sharp turn and lined the puck up with the goal ahead. With a bang, he struck, sending the puck hurtling forward like a missile.

The Ice Empress was startled by the incoming "missile" and hurriedly held her stick, made from Ultimate Ice, across her body.

Another bang rang out, and the Ice Empress stood her ground. Fortunately, the hockey stick made from Ultimate Ice was sturdy enough not to break.

After recovering, the Ice Empress planted both hands on her hips. "Little Chen, how are you so strong?!"

Tian Chen scratched his head and laughed. "Haha, I'm nothing special!"

"All right, that's enough playing for today. Come on, let's go home. It's time for you to awaken your Martial Soul, too. Sister Snow should have found what we need to awaken it!" Without another word, she picked Tian Chen up and flew toward the core region.

Tian Chen offered no resistance when she picked him up. Clearly, he had already grown used to this.

During the flight, Tian Chen recalled how he had arrived in this world six years ago, transported here in his own body, and unexpectedly been adopted by the Ice and Snow Empresses. Ever since then, they had cared for him in every possible way, doting on him as though he might melt in their mouths or break in their hands.

He had long since come to regard these two soul beasts as the most important people in his life.

He had also learned a few things through his daily life. First, the story was currently in the Peerless Tang Sect era, and judging by the timeline, he should be the same age as Huo Gua. Second, since he had transmigrated here, he had to make up for the regrets of the original story, change the tragic fate of the Soul Beast Clan, and bring his two sisters with him to ascend to the Divine Realm.

With the Ice Empress's speed, they soon returned to the palace. Just then, a loud crash came from the palace, followed by a towering white bear charging out. The aura emanating from the bear was no weaker than that of a rank-95 Titled Douluo.

Yet this powerful white bear now lay quietly before the Ice Empress and Tian Chen, wagging his short tail and sticking out his little tongue like a docile puppy.

Tian Chen stepped forward and patted his head. "Xiao Bai, did you have fun today?"

Xiao Bai closed his eyes, enjoying Tian Chen's touch, and poked out the tip of his tongue to lick Tian Chen's face gently, making him squirm from the ticklish sensation.

After playing around for a little while, Xiao Bai, Tian Chen, and the Ice Empress entered the palace together.

At the far end of the palace stood a frozen throne. Seated upon it was a fairy-like beauty with breathtakingly long legs crossed over one another. She was the Ice Sky Snow Woman, the foremost of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

"Sister Snow!" The moment Tian Chen saw her, he rushed over and nuzzled eagerly into her embrace.

The Snow Empress smiled tenderly. "You're already six, and you still love cuddles so much."

Anyone else who saw this would have been stunned. The great Snow Empress was actually showing such tenderness toward a human boy.

"I just like cuddles! Besides, don't you like them too, Sister?" Tian Chen wheedled, hugging the Snow Empress.

The Snow Empress stroked Tian Chen's head. Although part of the reason she had brought him back all those years ago was that his ability could speed up her cultivation, over the years, she had discovered that she genuinely adored this little brother. Now, whether he possessed that ability or not, she would still treat him as family.

Then the Snow Empress gave Tian Chen a playful pinch before saying seriously, "You're six now, the age when humans awaken their Martial Souls. I'll help you awaken yours today. No matter what your talent is like, high or low, you'll always be my little brother!"

Tian Chen nodded. In truth, he also wanted to know what kind of Martial Soul he would awaken.

They went to an open space outside the palace, where the Snow Empress took out the Awakening Stones and arranged them around Tian Chen.

"Little Chen, are you ready?"

Tian Chen nodded in confirmation.

Once she saw him nod, the Snow Empress began pouring soul power into the Awakening Stones.

The Awakening Stones began to glow under the flow of Soul Power. Golden light formed a ring around him, enveloping him within it. Tian Chen felt warm all over, as though something was about to emerge.

He slowly raised his right hand, but no Martial Soul appeared.

The Snow Empress grew a little worried at the sight and increased the flow of Soul Power.

At last, a blood-red blade emerged from his hand. It continued growing, expanding from just a few centimeters to more than two meters in length.

As the blade appeared, Tian Chen's aura rose steadily.

Seeing this, the Snow Empress relaxed.

Just then, something unexpected happened. Countless blood-red bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

"What is this?!" The sight instantly reminded the Ice and Snow Empresses of the scene when Tian Chen had first appeared. That terrifying Blood-red Thunder still haunted their memories.

Meanwhile, Tian Chen was already drenched in sweat inside the ring of light. He could feel that he had another Martial Soul besides this blood blade, but it simply would not emerge, leaving him in terrible discomfort.

"Sister Snow, give me more Soul Power!"

Hearing this, the Snow Empress immediately poured in more Soul Power. Suddenly, however, she discovered that the Soul Power within her body had escaped her control and was surging madly toward Tian Chen.

Seeing that the Snow Empress was about to reach her limit, the Ice Empress hurriedly flashed over and pressed her palms against the Snow Empress's back to help her.

At that very moment, the Blood-red Thunder in the sky struck straight down toward Tian Chen. In the blink of an eye, it actually transformed into an enormous humanoid figure.

The figure was over ten meters tall, with terrifying Blood-red Thunder radiating from its entire body. Its dreadful aura instantly stirred up vast clouds of dust. Even the Ice and Snow Empresses could not help bowing in submission at the sight.

The Snow Empress struggled to speak. "What terrifying majesty. Even the Ice God never possessed anything like it. It's as though everything in heaven and earth is as insignificant as an ant before him. Is this little Chen's Martial Soul?"

Tian Chen had only just finished awakening his Martial Soul and had yet to recover when a voice sounded beside his ear.

Ding! Congratulations, host, on awakening your martial souls. The Goddess Check-in System has been activated. This system grants rewards for checking in with important female characters from the original story, who are graded SSR, SR, S, A, or B according to their importance and beauty.

"This... this is a system."

Ding! Beginner gift pack opened. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Blood Emperor Body and Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade Martial Soul.

Upon hearing the system's notification, Tian Chen recognized the Blood Emperor Body and the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade. These were the signature abilities Hun Tiandi had gained after breaking through to Dou Di in Battle Through the Heavens. Although turning them into Martial Souls might have weakened them somewhat, they were still more than enough to trounce every Martial Soul in Douluo, that bottom-of-the-barrel fantasy world.
