Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins

Qian Daoliu stared blankly at the Goddess of Life before him, his heart a mixture of astonishment and confusion. He had originally thought that he had some understanding of the confidantes around Lin Feng.

But this suddenly appearing Goddess of Life was like a sudden meteor, once again, again, and again shattering all his cognition.

This stinking brat...

The goddess before him was like a spirit who had walked out of an unknown domain, carrying a vitality and purity that could not be ignored. Her jade-green hair fell to her shoulders, her gaze as gentle and deep as the spring water.

Her skin was fairer than snow, revealing a faint luster, like the petals of a flower that had just bloomed in the dawn, delicate and beyond compare.

A light, emerald-green long dress swayed gently with the wind. On it were embroidered complex and ancient life totems. It seemed that every stitch and every thread contained the charm of the laws of life.

The aura emanating from her body was like the warm sun in spring, able to instantly dispel the haze in people's hearts and give them endless warmth and hope. This power, this temperament, was by no means something a mortal could possess.

Although her figure could not compare to Bo Saixi's, her temperament was on a completely different level, not to mention that her own appearance was also peerless.

Qian Daoliu's heart was filled with mixed feelings. How did Lin Feng's seniority get higher and higher? The goddess before me, even if she's not tens of thousands of years old, she must be at least a thousand years old, right?

Having already experienced this kind of thing who knows how many times, Qian Daoliu had sensed that something was wrong at the first moment. This Douluo Hall was as if it had been cursed. All the women who had a relationship with Lin Feng...

Whether they were brought by him, or had met him first, or had come on their own, in the end, they had all become one of this fellow's confidantes. And yet every time, he himself would be a witness.

Excluding the factor that he had to guard and cultivate in this Douluo Hall, an ordinary woman should not be able to see him, nor should she be able to disturb him.

However, not long ago, a Gu Yuena had shaken his Dao heart until it had almost crumbled. He still remembered when Qian Renxue had personally told him about Bibi Dong's matter. From then on, it had gotten out of hand.

Now, with the addition of this Goddess of Life, Qian Daoliu felt as if he had fallen into an inescapable cycle.

"This fellow, in the future, is he still going to bring..." The thought had just risen in his heart when Qian Daoliu hurriedly stopped the thought in his heart. Last time it was just such a thought, and now it had come true.

No, I can't stay in this Douluo Hall anymore. This old one is moving house. Anyway, the inheritance of this Angel statue has already been taken away by Xue'er. The subsequent god-seat inheritance will have the help of Xiao Feng and the others. My own life sacrifice won't be needed. This place is absolutely not a place to stay.

He helplessly shook his head, sighing secretly in his heart: This stinking brat, what on earth is his charm, to be able to make these peerless beauties willingly surround him one by one?

However, despite the confusion and helplessness in his heart, Qian Daoliu had to admit that Lin Feng did indeed have a different place. His talent, wisdom, courage, as well as the sincere feelings he had for his friends, had all made him a trustworthy and reliable person. Perhaps this was the reason why these women were willing to be with him?

"Could it be... this is another of Lin Feng's confidantes?" Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, his gaze wandering over the Goddess of Life.

So strange. Why does this boy only like those who are older than him? Even Xue'er is a month older than him...

Qing Xuan sensed Qian Daoliu's strange gaze and frowned slightly. "What are you thinking? I feel a wave of malice."

Qian Daoliu came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm not thinking about anything. It's just that, what do you mean by coming for Lin Feng? You..." Qian Daoliu's expression was strange. "You've taken a fancy to him?"

Qing Xuan was stunned for a moment, then chided with some annoyance, "I was wondering why Lin Feng was a little improper. So it was you who taught him. To be able to think of this kind of place with just one sentence. It seems you, this Angel Great Priest, are not very proper either."

"No, I..." Qian Daoliu was at a loss for what to do after being rebuked by Qing Xuan. He hurriedly explained, "You've misunderstood. In this Douluo Hall, there is more than one woman who has gathered because of Lin Feng. That's why I was a little curious about your relationship with him."

"Our relationship? You can just take it as friends," Qing Xuan thought for a while and then replied.

Friends... The corner of Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched again. Ah Yin at first also seemed to be a friend. Bibi Dong had even more so at the beginning used the method of being friends with Lin Feng and Qian Renxue to get in touch. The result later?

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and still asked, "I wonder which god of the Divine Realm you are?"

Qing Xuan stood before the Angel statue. She slowly stretched out her hand, her fair hand gently caressing the cold and majestic wings of the statue. A fluorescent light shone in her hand, as if engaged in a silent dialogue.

At that moment, Qian Daoliu clearly sensed the Angelic divine power surging in the statue. It was a powerful and pure force, full of divinity and majesty.

Qian Xuan's brow furrowed slightly, and then relaxed.

"Senior! What are you doing!" Qian Daoliu asked at the first moment.

Qing Xuan withdrew her hand and glanced at Qian Daoliu indifferently. "No need to be nervous. I am just sensing the remnant of the Angelic divine power in the statue, whether there is still a remnant divine soul, and whether the Angelic God's trial is proceeding as usual."

Qian Daoliu frowned. "What does this mean? You want to interfere in my Angel lineage's divine trial?"

Qing Xuan shot him a white-eyed glare. "I'm just seeing if it's normal or not. The power left by the Seraphim back then was not much. It was almost only enough to maintain the divine trial. Who knows after so many years if the energy for this entire divine trial is still enough."

"Also, who do you think was the one who found the divine soul of the first-generation Seraphim and placed it in this divine statue? It was me! Don't just simply treat me as a bad person. You are a little annoying, just like that Lin Feng!"

Qian Daoliu was stunned for a moment and gave a couple of sheepish laughs. "Ahem, old... I was rude. I was overthinking it. But Your Excellency has not yet said which god you are?"

"Life."

Qian Daoliu's pupils shrank slightly. After Gu Yuena's arrival, the gate of the Divine Realm, and its history and characters, were all more or less known to some of them.

"You are a God-King?!!" Qian Daoliu's voice carried an undisguisable shock and reverence. The Life God-King, that was one of the supreme existences in the Divine Realm.

In charge of the power of life and healing, her status and strength were almost one of the pinnacles of the Douluo Continent—no, the entire Divine Realm.

"Mmm," Qing Xuan nodded lightly.

"Hiss—how did Lin Feng trick you into coming over?"

"He didn't ask. I came on my own accord," Qing Xuan shook her head slightly. She brushed past the face of the divine statue, a trace of reminiscence flashing in her eyes. Then she flew down and came before the Douluo Hall to quietly wait for their arrival.

Qian Daoliu followed and came to her side, standing a few meters away. He said, "Is it for his 'Innate Soul Evolution Art'?"

Qing Xuan nodded slightly. "His skill is one part, but the bigger reason lies in him as a person."

The corner of Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched fiercely. Sure enough, another one who was tricked over, right? She must still be pretending!

He took a deep breath. "Life God-King, please forgive my presumption, but I still want to confirm. You really didn't come to, mmm... take down Lin Feng, right?"

"Take down Lin Feng? What would I take him down for?" Qing Xuan frowned slightly, then immediately reacted, pointing at Qian Daoliu and saying with indignation, "I've already said, I don't have that kind of thought. Since you know of the Divine Realm, you should know that I and the God of Destruction are partners in the Divine Realm!"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's heart settled a little. He bowed slightly to the Goddess of Life and apologized, "Sorry, it was my presumption. It's just that this boy, Lin Feng, has too many confidantes around him, which makes me have to be a little careful."

"You may not know, but every one of his confidantes will come here. It really makes me a little scared."

Qing Xuan's face was strange. "There's this matter?"

"Although it sounds a little absurd, this is indeed the case," Qian Daoliu shook his head with a bitter smile. "A long time ago, I couldn't see through him. I wouldn't be surprised by what could happen in the future."

On the contrary, to hear you say you're not Lin Feng's new beauty, my heart on the contrary feels a little strange. I'm afraid she's another Ah Yin. After getting along for a while, she'll fall again, Qian Daoliu thought.

As for that God-King of Destruction, he had also heard Lin Feng, Gu Yuena, and the others talk about him. The characteristic of destruction was destined for the two of them to never be able to be truly together. When the Divine Realm had first opened, they had no companions.

They had grandly become so-called husband and wife, but to this day, they had not had any children. This Goddess of Life was probably also a virgin.

The so-called husband and wife, for her, was probably just a synonym for a colleague and a partner...

Qian Daoliu looked at the sky. He always felt he had already seen the scene of the Goddess of Life following by Lin Feng's side, telling the God of Destruction that the two were just colleagues of tens of thousands of years, and Lin Feng was her partner. Looking at the sky, he shook his head. Rat, watch your tail juice...

"Why are you shaking your head?"

Qian Daoliu sighed. "I am sympathizing with a fellow I have not yet met."

"You haven't met him, you don't even know him. Why are you sighing here? Are the humans of the Douluo Continent so sentimental?"

"..." Qian Daoliu did not speak.

---

In the small wooden house, Gu Yuena shot up from her seat with a "tseng," frowning as she looked at Lin Feng. "She has arrived?"

"Mmm. This matter is my fault. I never thought that back then when I was just a Soul Ancestor, she had already begun to pay attention to me, and had even specially covered the Douluo Star with a layer of a barrier. Although she hadn't paid attention for a long time, later when I was undergoing the thunder tribulation in the Land of the Extreme North, she was alarmed."

"But, she still made a move to help me conceal the fluctuation of the thunder tribulation, and did not report it to the Divine Realm."

"The purpose of her coming this time is one, to inspect my strength; two, to observe my attitude towards the Divine Realm; three, to observe the impact of the 'Innate Soul Evolution Art' on future generations."

"Regarding you, Na'er, before she descended to the lower realm, she had not seen anything about you. It was only just now after my strength had leaped that she had also accidentally learned of your existence."

"Her attitude towards the soul beast clan and you is at a neutral-to-friendly position. I have temporarily stabilized her and have also seized a wisp of her divine sense. If she returns to the Divine Realm, I can immediately sense it."

As he spoke, his palm slightly opened. A wisp of an emerald-green light, that was a wisp of the Goddess of Life Qing Xuan's divine sense, was imprisoned in his palm by some secret method, yet its foundation was not harmed, just temporarily stored.

"So that's how it is. It seems this Life God-King's attitude towards you is quite complicated," Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, the worry between her brows slightly lessening. "However, with her here, the barrier of the Douluo Star should be able to be more stable. For the soul beast clan, for the time being, it may not necessarily be a bad thing."

She slowly paced. "This is an existence that has exceeded my expectations. A God-King descending to the lower realm, even if suppressed by the plane, still has the strength of a first-level god. I, now, have not yet recovered to the strength of a first-level god... but if I fight to the death, I can still leave this incarnation of hers behind."

"To come for you and to have been doing things that are beneficial to us... Life Angel..."

Gu Yuena suddenly said, "How long will she stay?"

"One year."

Lin Feng walked closer and took Gu Yuena into his arms. He could feel the rapid heartbeat of the beauty in his arms due to her unease.

He comforted her in a soft voice, "Na'er, with me here, no need to be so anxious. The appearance of the Goddess of Life, although an accident, is also an opportunity for us. She has no ill will towards us. On the contrary, she may become our assistance."

Gu Yuena snuggled into Lin Feng's embrace, feeling the familiar aura on his body. The unease in her heart gradually dissipated. She raised her head, gazed at Lin Feng's eyes, and said, "I know. But I am always worried if she actually has other purposes."

"Her current strength of a first-level god is, after all, a trouble. For us, this is a potential threat."

Lin Feng chuckled lightly, gave Gu Yuena a kiss on the forehead, and said, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I am here. The Life God-King is gentle and will not make a move on irrelevant people. If she really wants to make a move on you and me, you don't have to make a move either."

"I myself can take down this incarnation of hers."

"You?" Gu Yuena raised her head in surprise, their four eyes meeting. "You are only at the strength of a third-level god now, right? You haven't even condensed your god-seat. How have you become so arrogant?"

Lin Feng shook his head. "My own strength, I keep seventy percent, show twenty percent, and hide ten percent," his words carried a trace of mystery. "What's more, on this Douluo Continent, strength is not just something that can be measured by a simple soul power level. I have my means, and I also have my trump cards."

"If I say that the current me could have beaten you long ago, do you believe it or not?" Lin Feng looked at her with a smile.

Gu Yuena's sandalwood mouth opened slightly. "Really?"

"Really," Lin Feng nodded solemnly.

Gu Yuena put a hand to her forehead. "Should I say you are prudent or bold..."

"Naturally, it is prudent," Lin Feng interrupted her words. "From now on, I am no longer the soul beast master-consort. This title can already be removed. In the future, if the term 'master-consort' is to be used again, it will be on you. Call me 'Revered Lord'."

Gu Yuena's cheeks turned slightly red, but she then immediately returned to her normal state. "Is that so? How would you know your current strength if you haven't fought?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. "Then you can personally inspect it in a few days?"

"I won't," a trace of cunning flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. She did not doubt what Lin Feng had said, that he now had the strength to fight a peak first-level god. "As long as I don't spar with you, I will never have lost. And this title of your 'master-consort' will have to be worn all along."

"...Na'er, you've gone bad."

"Heh, not as bad as your little angel. Now she's even discussing how to do some big things with Bibi Dong..." Gu Yuena changed the subject. "Let's still talk about the Goddess of Life. Where is she now?"

"In the room of the Golden Treasury Pavilion... hmm? She's in the Douluo Hall," Lin Feng frowned.

"Alright then. I'll go over with you for a trip. Let's see what this fellow really means."

"We'll go too."

The main door burst open with a boom. Qian Renxue pushed open the room door, revealing the three beauties behind her, including Bibi Dong. It was just that the faces of the few behind Qian Renxue were a little awkward at this time. It was clear that they had not expected Qian Renxue to just directly expose their act of eavesdropping just now.

Seeing Gu Yuena look over teasingly, Qian Renxue snorted. "What are you looking at? Don't think I don't know you often peek and eavesdrop. What's wrong with us listening to such a big matter?"

"What's more, my past life was good friends with her. My divine soul was even collected by her. With me present, with her temperament, it's impossible for her to do anything to us."

"Alright then. Then let's go together," Lin Feng said with a smile.

Qian Renxue slowly walked closer and fiercely pinched Lin Feng's waist. She transmitted her voice, "To say something that contains the will to die, those who don't know would think you two are going to die for love. Next time you're like this, I'll punish you by not letting you out of my newly built secret room for a month!"

Lin Feng chuckled, took Qian Renxue's hand, and a few figures quickly arrived at the Douluo Hall.

Qian Daoliu watched the few meet from a few meters away, his thoughts becoming strange...

White hair, blonde hair, purple hair, jade hair, black hair, blue hair...

No, brother. Are you playing a collection game here?
