Chapter 103: Possession Ends, Awakening Ah Yin
A few days later, the moment Qi Tian possessed Ah Yin's body again, a blazing sword light suddenly slashed toward them.
Behind the sword light, an ice-forged arrow infused with soul power shot directly at Ah Yin with almost equal force.
In that split second, Qi Tian rapidly communicated with Ah Yin through their connected souls.
"Ah Yin, what's going on? Why did you provoke the Spirit Hall's Pope?"
Qi Tian had met Qian Xunji and Qian Renxue's mother while possessing Bibi Dong, so he instantly recognized who those attackers were.
"Tang Hao brought the Spirit Hall here. He's trailing behind them. He intends to kill me!" Ah Yin replied.
Qi Tian frowned. With Ah Yin's face, even frowning looked mesmerizing—but unfortunately, no one was in the mood to appreciate it.
"What do we do now?"
Ah Yin answered calmly, "Don't worry. As long as you maintain the domain, they can't kill me."
"I plan to fake my death, make Tang Hao and the Pope fight each other, and then escape when they're both weakened."
Qi Tian let out a breath. "Good. As long as you have a plan… then die once."
Ah Yin hesitated, guilt creeping into her voice. "But if I use this ability… I'll need time to recover. It will delay my cultivation."
"Your divine soul—how long can you last? What if I don't make it in time to save you?"
"Hahaha, don't worry. Did you forget the reason I returned here in the first place?" Qi Tian said awkwardly.
"As long as you're safe, I'm satisfied."
He hadn't expected his small lie to influence Ah Yin so deeply. She trusted too easily.
Even if his words had been true, Ah Yin had no chance of becoming a god.
The restrictions on Douluo Star were far too severe. Without inheriting a god position, ascending to godhood was impossible.
Unless the Douluo Star devoured other wandering worlds… or severed the God Realm's parasitic siphon.
Only then might Ah Yin reach rank 100—like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"…Fine. Just rest more and don't damage your divine soul anymore," Ah Yin said softly, turning to comfort Qi Tian instead.
She was truly too kind.
The two communicated soul-to-soul for what felt like a long conversation, but only a moment passed in the outside world.
Yet, in that same instant, the arrow had already reached her.
Ah Yin's body dissolved into countless strands of Blue Silver Grass, vanishing into the earth.
Qi Tian sensed something new—by using this ability, he gained insight. When he awakened the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul in the future… he might also resurrect from death.
"That soul beast clearly died—so where's the soul ring? And the soul bone?" Qian Xunji frowned.
"Could it be some special soul skill? Something like Dong'er's ability?" the woman beside him guessed.
Because Bibi Dong had absorbed the Death Spider Emperor's hundred-thousand-year soul ring, gaining an undying soul skill, she had not hidden this from Qian Xunji and his wife.
Before they could investigate further, a violent surge of soul power erupted behind them.
Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer, combined with Tang Hao's Death God Domain, shattered the Spirit Hall elders' defensive line.
Even Yang Wudi, with just Soul Douluo cultivation and the Death God Domain, could stalemate Snake Lance Douluo. Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer was far more terrifying.
Meanwhile, Qi Tian and Ah Yin had transformed into a single Blue Silver Grass stalk.
Qi Tian focused his thoughts. His Sea Calming Pearl projection couldn't teleport living beings across time and space—but surely it could teleport… a plant?
Ah Yin, in this state, wasn't human anymore. She was pure Blue Silver Grass.
Give her some time, and she will fully recover.
As Qi Tian watched the Clear Sky Hammer clash against the Six-Winged Angel, he simultaneously attempted to communicate with the Sea Calming Pearl projection.
Whether it was the overwhelming force of the Clear Sky Hammer or some mysterious influence from the God Realm itself, the Spirit Hall side was unexpectedly being suppressed.
Far behind them, Bai Yan continued searching anxiously for Ah Yin while carrying a baby in her arms.
She didn't notice at all that the infant—after suffering infection and starvation—had grown dangerously weak.
Nor did she notice that a foreign soul from another world had entered the newborn's body and was currently battling the original soul for dominance.
"Teacher, where are you? Your disciple has come to save you!"
"If you don't want to be killed by them, you can sacrifice your soul ring to me! I will find a way to avenge you in the future!"
Using her Blue Silver King martial soul, Bai Yan sent out messages and probed the area to sense Ah Yin's presence.
She could feel that Ah Yin wasn't dead. She firmly believed that with enough time, she would find her.
At that moment, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao—both having unleashed their colossal Clear Sky True Bodies—shattered one of the Six-Winged Angel's wings.
Bai Yan's eyes shone brightly.
'A Titled Douluo… If I could absorb even a tiny bit of his cultivation, wouldn't I soar instantly?'
No one noticed the faint streak of five-colored light flashing across a distant mountain peak.
The five-colored radiance naturally concealed all traces, so the nearby combatants sensed nothing of what occurred within it.
Douluo Calendar Year 2642
Several dozen miles outside the Blue Silver Forest, in an unnamed woodland.
[Congratulations, host. Ah Yin's fate has been successfully altered. Possession of Ah Yin has now concluded.]
[Mission Reward: Blue Silver Emperor martial soul — Delivered.]
Qi Tian's split soul returned to his true body. Upon seeing the system notification, he let out a long, relieved breath.
He had successfully transported Ah Yin into the Sea Calming Pearl.
Ah Yin, currently in Blue Silver Grass form, was growing within the pearl's imitation Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
But Qi Tian had no time to check on her just yet—because the system reward had begun its awakening process.
Sensing the disturbance, Zhu Zhuqing immediately halted her cultivation and stood guard beside him.
Qi Tian sat cross-legged and released his Blue Silver King martial soul, which had begun evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor.
All around them, Blue Silver Grass and plant-type soul beasts sensed the ascension of their king and offered their power in reverence.
Qi Tian accepted their tribute through his Blue Silver Domain and returned a small trace of Blue Silver Emperor aura to them, letting them comprehend and find their own evolutionary paths.
Soon, the silver patterns on his Blue Silver Grass martial soul turned to gold.
His Blue Silver Domain also evolved—golden threads spreading across the land, now possessing the ability to siphon vitality from both plants and living beings.
At the same time, the soul imprint within his fourth soul ring began to mature.
A spirit soul—born from a Black Jade Bamboo—took shape inside his Blue Silver Domain, expressing pure joy toward Qi Tian.
It was only a tens-of-thousands-year soul beast, nowhere near the intelligence of a Blue Silver King or any hundred-thousand-year soul beast, so it communicated only through emotions.
Qi Tian acknowledged it gently without testing its new abilities.
The urgent matter was something else:
He needed to wake Ah Yin.
If she awoke in an unfamiliar world, she might assume something terrible had happened.
He had already lied to her far too much. He owed her the truth.
…Or he could weave another lie, if needed.
But, at the very least, he had to wake her up first.
