The Goddess of Life

A traveler from another world -- Yuan?

Wrong!

Wang Xingyu suddenly turned around.

A woman stood before him, her long green dress trailing on the ground. Her long brown hair fell over her shoulders, with a few strands shimmering with a green light that, though not glaring, drew his gaze.

"Are you the Goddess of Life?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in the goddess's eyes. "You know me?"

"This is based on a combination of legend and the current location."

Wang Xingyu gave a very serious explanation.

Of course, the main reason is that the other person looks exactly like the one in the Douluo God Realm comic.

The Goddess of Life did not respond, but simply watched him quietly, as if waiting for him to speak on his own.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Wang Xingyu blurted out the question he most wanted to know, "Goddess of Life, when you mentioned 'a traveler from another world,' did you mean I'm from the Douluo Continent?"

The Goddess of Life tilted her head slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of her lips, "No, it means exactly what you're thinking. Your soul is incredibly powerful; I can't discern its origin."

Wang Xingyu felt his heart skip a beat.

I was seen through just like that? And then they exposed me?

He wasn't sure what the other person's attitude was.

The goddess clearly noticed his panic, gently shook her head, and her tone held a reassuring quality. "It's nothing, I was just a little curious."

Hearing the other party's explanation, Wang Xingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the matter had come to this point, he simply brought up another question, "Then, Goddess of Life, why can't I pass the Life's Nine Trials? Is it because my soul doesn't belong to this world?"

A series of scenarios that would prevent transmigrators from interfering excessively flashed through his mind.

"No, it's a matter of talent. Although you temporarily improved your talent through fusion, it's not enough to sustain the demands of the Nine Trials."

Wang Xingyu paused for a moment, somewhat embarrassed. There was no other reason; he simply lacked talent.

A fantasy flashed through my mind. "If only I had that!" -- Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Innate Full Soul Power.

"I saw your limit, but you didn't reach it."

The Goddess of Life continued, "Perhaps after further evolution, it might be possible to touch upon it. However—" She shifted her gaze from him, looking into the depths of space, "Even if it is achieved, it will require waiting for another person. Destruction."

God of Destruction.

Wang Xingyu had actually thought about this answer long ago.

He knew a little about the laws of the Divine Realm; the life and Destruction of a divine couple often required both of them to bear the burden together.

Fortunately, it seems that a marital relationship isn't always necessary; otherwise, he would still need to find a wife.

"What about Xiao Wu? Can she inherit the Destruction?"

"That little rabbit." The goddess's gaze seemed to transcend the boundaries of space, landing on a place he couldn't see.

After a moment, she looked away and gently shook her head. "No. She doesn't have the power of Destruction."

Wang Xingyu remained silent for a few seconds.

It seems that this can only be left to Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena.

On the other hand, did the goddess really make a special trip just to chat about these few words?

The goddess seemed to have read his mind again, her eyes crinkling into a smile, "That green light just now—it fooled me too. So I came to check. The High Priest can use some Divine Power and can communicate with me. Consider this your reward for fooling me."

After she finished speaking, her form transformed back into the green seed and landed on Wang Xingyu's forehead.

The seed completely disappeared into the space between the eyebrows, leaving a red inverted V-shaped mark on the forehead.

The moment it was submerged, Wang Xingyu knew its purpose.

God-Level Healing and God-Level Purification.

As for how to use it—it can't be used for now, the body simply can't handle it. It can only be used after reaching level 70 and obtaining the Martial Soul Avatar.

The only currently usable function is communicating with the Goddess of Life.

However, the ability to directly communicate with a god-king is already a valuable feature in itself.

A faint vibration suddenly came from my forehead, and the voice of the Goddess of Life rang in my mind, even softer than it had been in the mental space.

"By the way, talking to me also consumes Divine Power." After saying that, he fell silent.

Wang Xingyu was taken aback.

The high priest has a limited amount of Divine Power at his disposal; once it's used up, it's gone.

He paused for a moment, silently revising his thought from "this feature is already very valuable" to "this feature is practically useless."

That's fine, anyway, we won't need those abilities for the time being.

But there's a more practical problem right now—how am I supposed to get out?

He blinked, closed his eyes, and then opened them again.

The next moment.

Xiao Wu and Lingxi were standing in front of him, talking to each other.

"Xiao Wu," Wang Xingyu called out.

The two turned their heads at the same time. Xiao Wu walked over quickly, her gaze first falling on the newly added red inverted V on his forehead. After confirming that he was alright, she asked.

"Xingyu, how are you? What just happened? Sister Lingxi said you must have received some kind of inheritance."

She spoke faster than usual, clearly having waited for a while.

"Sister Lingxi," they addressed each other quickly, as if they were already familiar with each other.

Wang Xingyu raised his hand and touched his forehead. When his fingertip touched the mark, he received another piece of information: if he wanted to return here in the future, he no longer needed to drip blood on the stone statue; he could simply touch his forehead to teleport directly.

This is practically an escape tool.

"Nothing much, just a few words with the Goddess of Life, which will make our escape easier in the future. That seems to be all."

Wang Xingyu explained the teleportation function of the mark.

As long as they make contact, they can be teleported together.

"Wow!"

Xiao Wu leaned closer to examine the mark on his forehead, then, as if remembering something, pointed to a red, leaf-shaped pattern that had appeared on her own forehead at some unknown time.

"By the way Xingyu, I have one too. It seems we'll be taking the test together."

Wang Xingyu glanced at the red leaf.

I roughly understand. By using Xiao Wu's talent, the difficulty of the assessment was increased from Black Level to Red Level. Xiao Wu was forced to take the assessment together, which is similar to how Xiao Wu assisted Tang San in participating in the Sea God's Nine Trials.

The two of them receiving the reward together saved them the trouble of taking the test separately.

"That's perfect, we can go together."

"What does the Goddess of Life look like?" Xiao Wu asked, clearly more interested in this than in the assessment itself.

The appearance of a god.

"She's quite pretty." Wang Xingyu thought for a moment, then added, "Gentle and with a great presence."

Xiao Wu mentally combined these words: gentle and elegant—probably similar to her mother.

Lingxi stood to the side, her expression somewhat complicated.

Two outsiders who had just arrived from the Douluo Continent met the Goddess of Life in one fell swoop—she had been guarding this place for so many years, yet she had never even heard the goddess's voice before.

Moreover, judging from the tone of this person just now, it seems that the Red Level Eight Trials was quite regretful.

She couldn't help but glance at Wang Xingyu again.

"Steward Lingxi?" Wang Xingyu noticed her gaze.

Lingxi looked away, shook her head, and indicated that it was nothing.
