Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Simulating Godhood

A slight smile played on your lips as your spiritual energy, like an invisible stream, coiled around the restriction. Compared to your insignificance and powerlessness during the first simulation, you now possessed enough strength to calmly break through it. You mobilized the power of the Golden Ancient Tree's rules, condensing that power into an extremely fine thread, precisely slicing into the core node of the restriction, and giving it a gentle tremor.

【puff!】

With an extremely faint muffled sound, the soul power imprint left by Tang Hao vanished silently, like a bubble bursting, without even a trace of energy leakage. You open your eyes and gently touch the leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor seedling. This time, no force can stop you.

You carefully removed the seedling, roots and all, and placed it into your magic pouch. Then, you probed the soil beneath the seedling with your spiritual power and quickly discovered a wooden box disguised by your soul energy. You took it out and opened it; inside lay a soul bone radiating a warm blue light—the right leg soul bone of a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin's legacy.

You closed the wooden box, stored it in your storage ring, stood up, and looked around the cave that had once caused your defeat. A relieved smile appeared on your lips. The regret from the first simulation was now finally resolved.

Without lingering, you vanished from the waterfall cave in a flash, disappearing into the dense forest behind Holy Soul Village in a few leaps. You found a perfectly secluded cave, sealed the entrance with a boulder, sat cross-legged, took out the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg soul bone from your storage ring, placed it on your right leg, and closed your eyes.

The power of shared origin flowed into your body without hindrance, like a river returning home to the sea, warm and smooth. You felt your Golden Silver Emperor greedily absorbing this gift from the previous Blue Silver Emperor. In that instant, you seemed to sense a distant and gentle will, as peaceful and loving as a mother gazing upon her child.

You exhale softly, a smile playing on your lips, etching that resolve deep into your heart.

Inside the cave, you sit cross-legged, the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone on your right leg radiating a warm blue light, like a slowly flowing river of life, continuously merging into your limbs and bones along your meridians. The shared power allows you to feel almost no rejection or pain; the pure life energy, like a wanderer returning home, willingly merges into your golden Blue Silver Emperor, intertwining and fusing with it, becoming inseparable.

[This absorption was much faster than expected, taking just over an hour for the soul bone to completely fuse with your right leg. You slowly opened your eyes, glanced down at your right leg, and saw a faint blue halo flowing beneath your skin before disappearing. Your soul power level, nourished by this surge, steadily climbed from level sixty to level sixty-three; even without acquiring the sixth soul ring, the growth of your soul power hadn't stopped.]

But you clearly sense that this isn't all. The energy contained within that soul bone is far more than that; much more power is temporarily sealed deep within it, awaiting a certain opportunity to be fully released. And you vaguely sense that that opportunity is the acquisition of the sixth soul ring. Once you successfully absorb the sixth soul ring, the dormant energy within the soul bone will be completely released, breaking through to a new realm together with the power of the soul ring.

You stretched your right leg, feeling the abundant yet gentle power, and nodded in satisfaction. Your gaze then fell upon the Blue Silver Emperor seedling in the Ruyi Treasure Pouch at your waist. It lay quietly within the pouch, its leaves slightly unfurled, radiating a soft aura of life. Though young, the life essence it contained was extremely pure, after all, it was the last bloodline left behind by the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

You reach out and take it, placing it in your palm, then look down at it quietly. The seedling's leaves tremble slightly, as if sensing your presence, feeling a natural affinity. You pause for a moment, then speak softly, your tone calm yet carrying an unwavering resolve.

"You are the old emperor, I am the new emperor. With the new emperor alive, there is no need for the old emperor to remain."

Without hesitation, you put the Blue Silver Emperor seedling into your mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. The warm, ancient life force slid down your throat into your stomach, dissolving in your dantian, like an ancient river flowing into a vast ocean.

Your Golden Blue Silver Emperor suddenly trembled, bursting forth with dazzling golden-green light, greedily devouring the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline essence contained within the seedling. As the old and new generations alternated, and the kings changed, the legacy of the old emperor was completely digested and absorbed within the new emperor's body, transforming into nourishment for the Golden Blue Silver Emperor's continued evolution.

You can clearly feel subtle but real changes happening to your Blue Silver Emperor teal. The golden veins on the leaves have become more intricate and delicate, and the golden-green sheen at the edges has intensified. The overall life force is more solid and profound than before. But to be honest, the changes aren't that significant, far from the "complete transformation" you might have imagined.

You paused slightly, then shook your head with understanding. You were no longer the weak Blue Silver Grass without even a Soul Ring. Your Golden Blue Silver Emperor had fused with the power of a 5,000-year-old Blue Silver Grass, a 15,000-year-old Blue Silver King, an 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King, the 100,000-year-old power of the Golden Ancient Tree's rules, and the 100,000-year-old hallucinogenic essence of the Corpse Fragrance Demon Flower. Furthermore, with the tempering of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the nourishment of numerous immortal herbs, its status had far surpassed that of an ordinary Blue Silver Emperor.

[If this seedling left behind by the old emperor were in its prime, it might have brought about a truly transformative change for you. But now, it only possesses a faint trace of its original bloodline, less than a tenth of what Ah Yin possessed in its prime. This energy would be enough to defy fate for ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but for you, who already stands above the emperor, it is merely a small addition, an embellishment.]

You exhaled and stood up to stretch your limbs. Although the evolution was limited, that wisp of ancient imperial bloodline still brought you some benefits. You sensed that your affinity for plant-based energy had increased, and the efficiency of using soul skills such as Life Catalysis was smoother than before. That was enough.

You waved your hand, and a blue-silver vine silently shot out, gently pushing aside the boulder blocking the cave entrance. Sunlight streamed in obliquely, casting a bright beam into the cave, where dust motes floated slowly. You squinted, adjusting your eyes to the light, then stepped out of the cave, standing on the mountainside, overlooking the rolling mountains and lush forests before you.

[A level 63 Soul Emperor, two 100,000-year Soul Rings, two 100,000-year Soul Bones, the Golden Blue Silver Emperor, the trump cards of Imaginary Space and Void Exile, the suppressive power of Spiritual Annihilation and Hallucination Domain, and a large number of immortal herbs waiting to be refined in the Ruyi Treasure Pouch... You looked back and considered your current accumulation. Even with the most conservative estimate, you might not be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation with a 7th-ring Soul Saint. In fact, with those few god-level skills, killing someone of a higher level is not impossible.]

You took a deep breath of the crisp mountain air, a sense of unprecedented peace and composure welling up within you. This continent is vast, and there are many powerful beings, but you no longer need to cower in a corner, cautiously testing your limits through countless simulations, as you did at the beginning. You have confidence, you have a trump card, and you have found a path that truly belongs to you.

You unfolded the map, glanced at it, and your gaze fell in one direction, a new plan forming in your mind. Where should you look for your sixth spirit ring?
