It took Golden Crocodile Douluo a long time to recover from the boundless shock. He looked at the mirror with utmost reverence in his eyes and asked cautiously.
"May I ask... why did Your Majesty intervene to help us?"
He couldn't understand it; given the other side's strength, there was absolutely no reason for them to get involved in the war between the Spirit Hall and the two great empires.
Jing concealed his aura, and the nine red rings disappeared.
Her cool gaze did not fall on Golden Crocodile Douluo, but instead looked towards the distance, towards the direction of the Great Tang Empire.
Deep within those eyes, there seemed to be a tenderness that no one could understand.
She spoke slowly, her voice still cold and clear, yet it struck everyone present as if they had been struck by lightning.
"It was Brother Qianyu who made me do this."
Golden Crocodile Douluo was stunned.
Lingyuan Douluo was also stunned.
All the surviving Spirit Hall experts were stunned.
Brother Qianyu?
Golden Crocodile Douluo froze, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably.
He had lived for a hundred years and considered himself to have seen countless storms, but what he saw before him completely overturned his understanding.
A Limit Douluo with nine 100,000-year soul rings and unfathomable strength actually called Qian Yu "brother"?
This sounds even more absurd than a fairy tale.
The other Spirit Hall retainers stood there dumbfounded, their expressions blank, as if their souls had been ripped out.
Their brains are completely unable to process this massive amount of information.
However, before they could recover from this boundless shock, the sky above them shone brightly once again.
Golden divine light flowed, dyeing the entire sky a dazzling gold.
[Rank 10 on the Martial Soul Ranking!]
[Martial Soul Name: The Harp of Life!]
[Owner: Cai Wenji!]
The new list, the new names, once again captured the attention of all living beings across the continent.
Immediately afterwards, images began to shift across the sky.
In a vibrant, verdant world, a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) floats silently.
The guqin was made entirely of a material that resembled living jade. Countless mysterious and ancient patterns were carved on its body, as if it contained the most primal principles of life in the world.
The strings are not physical objects, but are formed from pure life energy. Every slight fluctuation seems to bring everything back to life and make all flowers bloom.
It floated there quietly, yet it exuded a boundless and powerful life force that could move even the gods.
[Possessing the power of life, containing ultimate vitality, it can heal any injury, revive all things, and is even said to be able to bring the dead back to life!]
The words on the sky were like heavy hammer blows, striking everyone's hearts.
Treat any injury?
Reviving all things?
The dead have come back to life?!
This is no longer the power of a Soul Master; this is the authority that only the God of Creation possesses!
[Rank: God-level Detached Martial Soul!]
[Reward: The holder's soul power is solidified sixfold, and the age of all soul rings is increased by 100,000 years! Gain the divine skill: Echo of Life!]
[Echo of Life: When using this Soul Skill, the ally receiving healing is unaffected by any negative effects. Furthermore, it deals an equal amount of fatal damage to the enemy while healing! It also permanently stacks spell power on the user, with no upper limit!]
...
Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, outside Jialing Pass.
Lake of Life.
The lake water was crystal clear, and the life energy, so rich as to be almost tangible, transformed into a misty haze that enveloped the entire lake surface.
On a small island in the middle of the lake, a stunningly beautiful figure sat quietly cross-legged.
She had long, silver hair that cascaded down to her ankles like a waterfall formed from moonlight. Her purple eyes seemed to hold the stars and the sea, exuding nobility and mystery.
It is the ferocious beast king, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who is sleeping here.
At this moment, she was raising her flawless face, gazing up at the list in the sky, and for the first time, a violent ripple appeared in her usually calm purple eyes.
"The Harp of Life... What kind of martial soul is this?"
Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried a subtle tremor that even she herself was unaware of.
Several figures stood respectfully beside her.
Leading the group was a man dressed in black with an arrogant look in his eyes; it was none other than the Beast God, Di Tian.
Di Tian frowned and said in a deep voice, "Cai Wenji... I have never heard of this name before. When did such a person appear on the continent?"
On the other side, a woman dressed in a long emerald green dress, with a gentle temperament and radiating vitality, also exclaimed in amazement.
She is the Emerald Swan, Brigitte.
Brigitte's eyes were filled with shock as she murmured to herself, "She can actually perfectly control the power of life...heal any injury, revive all things, and even...bring the dead back to life!"
"This is just too incredible!"
As the patriarch of the Emerald Clan, and a soul beast with a cultivation level of 580,000 years, Bi Ji's greatest skill is healing.
She was confident that no one on the entire continent could surpass her in the field of treatment.
However, after seeing the description of the "Lyre of Life" on the sky, her proud ability seemed so insignificant.
That's no longer treatment; it's the deepest level of control over the laws of life!
Gu Yuena's gaze was fixed on the words "the dead can also be brought back to life," and her breathing became somewhat rapid.
She spoke slowly, her voice filled with an unprecedented sense of anticipation.
"A god-level detached martial soul... If this description is true, Cai Wenji's life healing ability is comparable to that of a true god of life."
"Perhaps... she really does have the ability to heal my injuries."
"What?!"
Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, all the ferocious beasts, including Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and Wan Yao Wang, were horrified.
"My lord! You mean... she can heal the Dao wounds left by the God-King?!"
Di Tian's voice trembled.
They knew better than anyone how serious Gu Yuena's injuries were.
That wound was inflicted by the Asura God's divine sword during the great war of the gods. It was a Dao injury containing the laws of the supreme god-king, which could neither be erased nor healed. The only way to slow the deterioration of the injury was to fall into a deep sleep.
This wound is an eternal pain in the hearts of all soul beasts!
But now, the master is saying that a human soul master might be able to heal her injuries?
How could they not be excited, how could they not be shocked!
...
Jialing Pass, Shrek Academy camp.
"The Harp of Life? Tenth place? What kind of martial soul is this? I've never heard of it before."
Ma Hongjun scratched his head, looking confused.
Dai Mubai also frowned. As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he considered himself knowledgeable and erudite, yet he knew nothing about this martial spirit.
"Master, do you know?" Oscar looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang pushed up his glasses, his expression grave.
"The Harp of Life? This martial spirit has no record of me in my database, yet it's ranked tenth..."
