Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 187 Eight Sacred Pillars

On the walls of the castle, faded tapestries tell tales of past glories. In this dimly lit hall, a carved wooden stool sits forlornly beside the fireplace, its weighty marks of time reflected in the firelight.

On the bench, a man sat upright, dressed in a black tailcoat. Although the clothes were classic, the cut revealed an unusual sharpness.

His face was pale, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips. His deep eyes seemed to pierce through people's hearts. His long, slender fingers tapped lightly on the seat, producing a low, rhythmic sound—a habitual gesture he made when deep in thought.

The man's ears twitched slightly, sensing the movement around him. Even in this secluded corner, he remained vigilant, not letting any subtle change escape his notice. His gaze suddenly froze, as if he had sensed something, but after turning to see Tang Nian, he quickly regained his composure.

The air was filled with the faint scent of spider lilies, a stark contrast to the damp, musty smell of the castle. The man seemed to appreciate the fragrance, his breathing becoming deeper as if he were savoring the elusive aroma.

The woman led Tang Nian to the man's side, bowed, and slowly said, "My lord."

Tang Nian's gaze immediately fell on the man. The fact that this woman was so respectful to him meant that this man was the one in charge here.

The man waved his hand and casually said, "Get lost."

The woman bowed again, then turned and quickly left, disappearing from sight.

The man's mocking gaze fell on Tang Nian at this moment, and he said, "As expected of the chosen one, your martial soul, the Other Shore Flower, is different from those outside."

Although Tang Nian was puzzled, she didn't show any curiosity on her face. She looked at the man calmly and asked, "Who are you? What is the purpose of calling me here?"

The man waved his hand slowly and said, "It wasn't me who called you here; it was God who chose you. Whether you like it or not, you will accept God's will."

After a pause, the man's voice became somewhat strange, as if he were muttering to himself, or as if he couldn't understand it, and he said, "I really don't understand why you were chosen."

Tang Nian frowned, looking at the man in front of her with a puzzled expression.

After a long while, the man seemed to calm down and slowly said, "I am Haier, and I am also the one responsible for helping you pass this divine test."

Tang Nian looked at Haier in confusion, she had no idea what the "divine exam" meant.

Haier seemed to sense Tang Nian's confusion. He stretched out his hand and waved it gently. Instantly, nine spirit rings appeared behind him: black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, and red.

Tang Nian's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at him several more times before confirming that she was not mistaken. The man in front of her actually had nine spirit rings. The first eight were black ten-thousand-year spirit rings, and the last one was the rarest one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

However, Tang Nian's gaze was not on the last 100,000-year soul ring at all, but on the first black 10,000-year soul ring.

As a Soul Master, the lifespan of the Soul Rings one can absorb is limited. Although her first Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor, had a first Soul Ring of 100,000 years, it was a bloodline inheritance of the Blue Silver Royal Clan.

But how many people are like that? In the entire Douluo Continent, there are very few who fall in love with a 100,000-year-old soul beast and have a child, let alone someone with her bloodline, whose probability is extremely small.

But the man in front of us actually had a ten-thousand-year soul ring as his first soul ring, completely unaffected by the age limit of the soul ring. This shows that Haier is no ordinary person.

As Haier moved, Tang Nian felt an extremely powerful pressure that instantly rendered her unable to move. It was a very strange feeling, different from the feeling of thousands of troops rising up that Tang Hao exuded.

Tang Nian felt a suffocating sensation, yet it was also irresistible, making her willing to sacrifice her life under this oppressive force.

Seeing that Tang Nian's face was getting redder and redder and she was about to have trouble breathing, he withdrew his soul ring, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Nian still had a strange quality to it.

The moment she was released, Tang Nian felt as if she had been reborn, and she gasped for breath.

Although the strength of the man in front of him was unknown, with nine spirit rings and a titled Douluo, the pressure he exuded was even stronger than that of Tang Hao.

The true strength of Haier is terrifying to contemplate.

Haier didn't make things difficult for Tang Nian. He simply said "Come with me" and then turned and walked inside.

Tang Nian felt as if she had just walked through hell. She managed to stand up and follow Haier as the two walked deeper into the castle.

The further Tang Nian went, the more eerie it became. It was clearly daytime outside, but once inside, there was no light at all.

Only the candles on both sides of the corridor occasionally swayed in the surging air currents, their light and shadow dancing with the flickering candles. Tang Nian followed behind Haier, gradually stepping into the depths of the basement.

The sound of dripping water echoed in the empty space, and the damp smell mixed with the musty odor wafted over. In every corner of the basement, and even with every step, Tang Nian felt an indescribable sense of oppression, as if time had frozen here.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Tang Nian dared not let her guard down and remained on high alert throughout.

Finally, Haier stopped and said, "This is the Pillar of Inheritance. Whether you can receive the inheritance from God depends on yourself."

Tang Nian looked up and saw eight towering black inheritance pillars standing before her like guardian deities. Each pillar was engraved with patterns that Tang Nian couldn't understand. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be spider lilies, but they didn't seem to be either.

Although it is deep inside the castle, it is like another paradise. Although it is in the castle, you can't see the roof. When you look up, you can only see the deep night and the stars.

Just then, Haier began to slowly walk around the pillar. His steps were solemn and slow as he circled the pillar, seemingly doing nothing.

But as Haier moved, blood-red spider lilies suddenly appeared all around, sprouting little by little and blooming with vibrant flowers.

At that moment, the two middle pillars of the eight pillars, though still black, began to glow red.

Haier said calmly, "Release your martial spirit and channel your soul power into the sacred pillar."

Tang Nian frowned, but did not refute Haier's words. She stretched out her hand and was surprised to find that her soul power and martial soul had been fully restored.
