Arrival

"Why did it go quiet?"

Were they shocked by what I said? Minghui thought as he kept his eyes closed and maintained the simulation.

His days of painstaking preparation had not been in vain. He was quite satisfied inside.

But he had no intention of opening his eyes just yet. It was not often that he got the chance to put on such an impressive act, so he had to keep it going a little longer.

Unless his teacher spoke, he absolutely would not open his eyes!

Then, he suddenly sensed a faint golden glow within the range of his soul skill. His body felt warm all over, indescribably comfortable.

Did Teacher add something to the Soul Tool he arranged? Minghui was startled.

"What's going on!?" Everyone else in the plaza was shocked as they watched the golden light suddenly appear, then descend upon Junior Disciple Minghui.

The next moment.

"This is a response from the gods, a Divine Miracle!" an elderly man cried out before dropping to his knees on the spot.

"Whoosh!" With someone taking the lead, the plaza soon filled with kneeling people, most of them elderly villagers who lived at the foot of the mountain.

Their hearts were filled with fervent hope.

They hoped their children would have smooth futures. They hoped the children who had yet to awaken their martial souls would awaken soul power, preferably with higher Innate Soul Power.

The elders wore devout expressions as they prayed sincerely in their hearts.

"..." Seeing their elders kneel, the younger generation exchanged glances before kneeling without hesitation.

If even the elders had knelt, there was nothing shameful about a junior like me kneeling too!

Besides, judging by this, the two gods seemed to truly exist and were watching them. Was this not the perfect time to make a wish?

On this point, all the youngsters were in agreement.

Tonight, I'll confess to Xiao Fang. May Lord God of Destruction and Lady Goddess of Life bless me so I can win Xiao Fang's heart!

Respected Lord God of Destruction, if I ever get the opportunity to travel and train outside, I will do my utmost to eliminate Evil Soul Masters and purge evil from the continent. My request is not much. I do not ask that you directly grant me great power; I only ask that my cultivation from now on may go more smoothly.

It would be best if I could cultivate all the way to Titled Douluo!

Bless me, bless me, respected Lady Goddess of Life. Please bless me so that I can successfully undergo my Second Awakening!

Lady Goddess, grant me a boyfriend!

"..." They all silently recited their prayers in their hearts.

"Ahem." Seeing the scene before him, Du Busi coughed lightly and knelt on one knee with a respectful expression. He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and placed it against his chest, lowering his head slightly in respect.

In this life, he respected heaven, earth, and gods, but the only people worthy of making him kneel on both knees were the parents who had raised him.

The rest of the higher-ups immediately followed suit.

A Divine Miracle? That golden light just now was a Divine Miracle arranged by Teacher? He really knows how to put on a show! Minghui was starting to want to open his eyes.

But he still held back. His teacher had not called for him yet!

Still, he could not resist diverting a bit of focus to activate his Body Martial Soul and peer ahead. Within the perspective of his spiritual domain, the entire plaza before him was kneeling.

He could vaguely see wisps of pale yellow vapor rising from their heads into the sky, some dense and some faint.

They're all worshipping the Twin Gods? Could this floating out of their heads be the so-called Faith Power? Minghui guessed inwardly.

Then I definitely can't cancel the Simulation Soul Skill and disperse the Twin Gods' illusion. He immediately pretended not to know and continued maintaining it.

By now, the golden light in the air had dissipated. Yet beneath the towering Ancient Tree of Life, which glowed faintly with golden light in the distant God Realm—

"???" The Goddess of Life, who had been sitting at a stone table drinking tea, suddenly froze before looking up at the branches and leaves above.

The God of Destruction sitting across from her was also stunned, instinctively raising his head.

Through the Eye of the Gods, they saw strands of fine threads descending and extending toward them.

"This is... thought power born from faith?" Surprise flashed through the Goddess of Life's eyes as she murmured.

The next second, the husband and wife looked at each other, their expressions turning puzzled.

As innate deities, they had no inheritance in the lower realms. Where had this faith come from?

"One look will tell." The God of Destruction frowned slightly, raising a hand to draw the descending threads into his palm before releasing his Divine Sense.

The Goddess of Life did the same.

"Respected Lord God of Destruction, respected Lady Goddess of Life..." Prayers rang out one after another beside their ears.

The husband and wife selectively ignored the prayers attached to the thought power. Instead, they followed the threads of thought power with their Divine Sense to trace their source.

In the blink of an eye, their consciousness passed through the God Realm Hub, which served as a transmission nexus, and entered a passage.

"There are two places..."

They soon arrived at the Douluo Plane and discovered that the Faith Power came from two locations.

They immediately went to the location where it was most concentrated and of the highest quality.

"???" Looking at the massive Ancient Tree of Life standing in the plaza and the two familiar figures beneath it—

The husband and wife were both utterly stunned.

The God of Destruction recovered first. With a frown and no hesitation whatsoever, his Divine Sense directly entered the mind of the villager with the weakest Spiritual Power in the plaza and instantly read his memories.

Then he froze again. His gaze instinctively turned toward the child standing in the center, Minghui.

His eyes flickered with confusion, his emotions inexplicably unsettled.

"Xiao Zi, did you find anything?" Seeing this, the Goddess of Life could not help sending him a mental message.

She did not like reading other people's memories, as it was disrespectful to life. But her husband had always acted decisively and swiftly, often caring only about results rather than the process. Sometimes, she could not stop him in time. Fortunately, this time he had only been gathering information and had not harmed an innocent person.

The God of Destruction said nothing. He urged his Divine Sense again, and his consciousness descended upon the Qing Family Territory in the blink of an eye, instantly reading one person's memories.

Afterward, he swiftly returned and used his Divine Sense to transmit all the information he had gathered about them to his wife.

This included the scene when Minghui awakened his martial soul.

"He actually saw us in a dream!" The Goddess of Life was somewhat astonished, then fell into thought.

"Could he be the reincarnation of some Old God?"

"Xiao Zi, this child unexpectedly dreamed of us when he encountered a life-or-death crisis. It resembles old memories being awakened by intense stimulation. The memory was so clear, and the first people he thought of were us rather than anyone else. This shows that he must have been extremely familiar with us in the past."

"Moreover, he trusts us deeply in his subconscious."

"This concerns the God Realm. It must be investigated!" The God of Destruction spoke calmly as he immediately urged his Divine Sense again.

"Xiao Zi, don't!" The Goddess of Life hurriedly stopped him.

"This child is currently consuming Spiritual Power to maintain the Simulation Soul Skill, and he has already maintained it for some time. His spirit has long been depleted, and he is currently tense as well. Your Divine Sense contains an aura of destruction and may harm him. Let me do it instead."

Hearing this, the God of Destruction glanced at Minghui, stopped, and gave his wife a slight nod.

The Goddess of Life did not delay. She immediately separated a strand of Divine Sense and sent it into Minghui's brow, only to instantly feel a certain force obstructing her.

Her expression changed in alarm. She quickly withdrew her Divine Sense and turned to look at her husband.

"Beneath this child's Spiritual Sea is a sealed Power of Time and Space guarding his soul."

"Although I cannot sense its exact strength, I can be certain that it has absolutely reached the Divine Level. Forcing our way in may trigger irreversible consequences."

"Xiao Zi, whether this child is the reincarnation of an Old God familiar to us or not, we cannot harm him."

"Besides, I did not sense the aura of a God Position on this child."

Power of Time and Space... The God of Destruction could not help recalling the Eternal Ice Crystal that had injured Tang San in the God Realm back then.

Had Tang San not been wearing the Pseudo-Super Divine Artifact, the Asura Divine Armor, and promptly used Asura Divine Power to defend himself, he would likely have remained frozen for some time longer. Even for him, Power of Time and Space at the level of Eternal Gold would take considerable time to wear away.

External injuries were easy to handle, but the residue left within the body was difficult to help with. Tang San was still dragging his feet in the God Realm.

"Could it be that the spiritual consciousness from that piece of Eternal Gold fell into this world after it self-destructed and entered a mortal body, where it was nurtured into this form?" the God of Destruction asked.

"That is impossible!" The Goddess of Life, who understood the laws of life more deeply, shook her head. "Spiritual consciousness is not a soul."

"The time for transformation was too short."
