"If I could work with Brother Tang Yin, perhaps we could make up for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's great inherent weakness in combat."
Ning Rongrong began weighing the possibilities in her mind.
Once Tang Yin and the others finished training, Qian Renxue bade them farewell.
Tang Yin's group of five continued on their way.
By evening, they reached Hasdargen City, the capital of the Hasdargen Kingdom.
Just as they were about to enter the city, Tang Hao appeared before them.
They had not seen him in six years, yet his complexion looked far better than before.
Even his usually stern, unsmiling face now bore a hint of a smile.
"Dad?"
Tang San Niang cried out in delighted surprise.
But she was no longer as blindly filial as before. After all, Tang Yin had spent these years instilling his ideas in her, and the traces of her old feudal mindset had faded considerably.
Xiao Wu was even more excited than Tang Yin and his sister. "Godfather! You're finally back!"
An outsider who knew nothing of them might really have thought she was his biological daughter.
Tang Yin remained perfectly composed.
That unruffled temperament pleased Tang Hao all the more.
This was precisely the bearing the Clear Sky Sect's future sect master ought to have!
After brief introductions to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, the group entered Hasdargen City. Tang Hao took them to a restaurant and booked a private room.
After the meal, the family had some privacy.
Tang Hao smiled happily and got straight to the point.
"Ah Yin has awakened. She wants to see you."
At those words, even Tang Yin showed a flicker of delight.
Wonderful! Mom had finally come back to life after idling away in the spring!
Now she could give him and his sister another boost.
Both the Blue Silver Forest and Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, were deeply important secrets.
For something like this, Tang Hao would not allow even Xiao Wu to take part.
After all, to Tang Hao, a goddaughter was still a goddaughter-an outsider, nothing more.
Yet ever since Xiao Wu entered human society, she had been inseparable from Tang Yin and his sister. They had never parted before.
Naturally, Xiao Wu was unhappy, her little lips thrust out in an enormous pout.
The wonderful impression she had held of Tang Hao instantly plummeted a thousand fathoms.
He actually wanted to separate her from her brother.
That rotten old man was up to no good!
Xiao Wu looked pitifully aggrieved, tears welling in her bright, wide eyes.
Tang Yin hurriedly gathered her into his arms and comforted her for a while. Only after he promised to return within a day did Xiao Wu reluctantly let go.
On the way to the Blue Silver Forest, Tang Yin finally realized why Tang Hao had been waiting for them here.
The Blue Silver Forest that had nurtured the Blue Silver Emperor lay right along the northeastern edge of the Star Dou Mountain Range, beside the Star Dou Great Forest, roughly a hundred li from Hasdargen City.
They traveled beneath the stars and moon for more than three hours, crossing several mountain ridges.
At last, an endless azure sea woven from Blue Silver Grass spread out before their eyes.
An air of familiarity washed over them.
This was the place that had nurtured the source of their bloodline.
Tang San Niang held her brother's arm, a trace of awe appearing in her lovely eyes as she gazed at the sight before them.
As the siblings stepped into the Blue Silver Forest,
it was as though an invisible breeze swept past. The surrounding Blue Silver Grass swayed gently with a soft rustling, seemingly welcoming their return.
Through that hazy sensation, the siblings seemed to hear a woman's gentle voice lingering beside their ears.
The voice brimmed with tenderness and warmth.
"My children-my children-"
"Come here to Mommy-"
Rustle-!
Rustle-!
Suddenly, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass parted to either side, revealing a narrow path into the depths of the Blue Silver Forest.
Even Tang Hao could not help being moved by this incredible sight.
The siblings followed that faint sense of familiar affection.
Step by step, they walked forward.
With every step, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass released azure luminescence, lighting their way.
And the unique life energy belonging to the Blue Silver Grass grew richer and richer as they ventured deeper.
At last, they saw the Blue Silver Emperor's true form, radiating brilliant blue-gold light.
Though she was not as enormous as the Blue Silver King beside her, which towered like a great tree,
she was far more dazzling, radiating the absolute presence of a sovereign.
Noble and majestic, sacred and inviolable!
In an instant,
Tang Yin's and Tang San Niang's Martial Souls-the Spirit Veins and Blue Silver Emperor-blossomed forth together.
Ah Yin extended her leaves and wrapped the siblings within them, like a mother cradling her children, full of love and tenderness.
At the sight, Tang Hao's eyes filled with tears, and he could scarcely contain his emotion.
Hum-!
A blue-gold Blue Silver Domain unfolded, spreading like a ring of light. At a jaw-dropping speed, it swiftly covered the entire Blue Silver Forest, its reach exceeding all imagination.
Hum-!
In an instant, the life energy the Blue Silver Forest had accumulated over untold years began surging like a tide, converging upon Ah Yin.
"Hao, bring me the Soul Bones. I want to baptize the children and complete their final transformation."
Ah Yin's gentle voice rang out.
Tang Hao nodded hastily and took out the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones he carried. One was the Titan Giant Ape Left Arm Bone supplied by the Sky Azure Bull Python, said to have come from the previous generation's Titan Giant Ape.
The other was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor right leg Soul Bone that Ah Yin had left behind after her sacrifice.
Ah Yin took the two Soul Bones and placed them against the corresponding parts of Tang Yin's and Tang San Niang's bodies.
At that moment, Tang Yin and Tang San Niang had their eyes tightly closed, concentrating on absorbing the life energy Ah Yin provided, with no attention to spare.
Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor leaves blazed with light. Two streams of her own Blue Silver Emperor essence dissolved the Soul Bones and fused them into the siblings' bodies.
Hum-!
Vast life energy surged in from every direction, pouring into Tang Yin and Tang San Niang.
In an instant,
Tang Yin's dark pupils and hair turned azure.
His Spirit Veins spread throughout his body like the roots of Blue Silver Grass, clearly visible.
Then, drawn onward by that boundless, majestic life energy, they rapidly transformed, and a dazzling gleam of incomparably noble gold emerged.
"Emperor-"
An aged voice rang out, uttering a low cry of overwhelming excitement.
Immediately afterward, countless faint consciousnesses conveyed their jubilant joy.
"Emperor-"
Yes, they were celebrating the birth of two new Blue Silver Emperors.
Boom-!
The spiritual atmosphere around them shifted, and the entire Blue Silver Forest seethed. Vast, boundless life energy surged furiously, soaring straight into the highest heavens.
The Divine Realm.
A boundless place without roots.
Countless gods turned their heads, directing their gazes toward Douluo Star.
The Asura God smiled. "To think the youngsters we each placed our bets on would turn out to be brother and sister."
"And they've caused such a commotion. By now, everyone in the Divine Realm has probably noticed their existence."
The God of Evil, however, was focused on something else entirely.
He raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing on his face.
"Interesting. These biological siblings have actually picked up the God of Love's aura. Hahaha! How very amusing."
He could not help clutching his belly in laughter. His laughter echoed throughout the Divine Hall, full of mockery and teasing.
The Asura God looked puzzled. "The God of Love? Why have I never heard of this deity?"
The God of Evil replied, "Hahaha, it's perfectly normal that you don't know. Like Goodness and me, that deity was an innate god born of heaven and earth."
"But that one was even more evil than I am. An absolute deviant."
"She often sent avatars down to the lower realms to experience mortal love, until she finally played herself into madness. Hahaha!"
"In the end, she actually sacrificed herself on that Douluo Star, merging into the laws of heaven and earth across the entire planet and becoming the foundation upon which its plane laws operate."
"So every emotion connected to love among Douluo Star's intelligent beings is influenced by the God of Love's power."
"Through the intertwining threads of fate, all her favorite dramas of joy and sorrow, parting and reunion, love and hatred keep playing out. Hahaha!"
Hearing this, the Asura God frowned slightly. "But they're brother and sister?"
As though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world, the God of Evil abandoned every shred of dignity befitting a God King and rolled on the floor laughing.
"Asura, you're adorably naïve. Do you think that lunatic, the God of Love, would care about such things?"
"Those taboos only add to her amusement. Hahaha!"
The Asura God's face darkened.
He was actually gloating over the heir he had chosen.
That fellow Evil really was a god who lived for entertainment!
