Ignoring the murderous glare from the "Old Father" Di Tian, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, using the perspective of the Eye of Destiny to observe Qiu'er's fluctuating fate.
The concept of Spirit-Forging was derived from the Sun Moon Empire's "Acquired Spiritual Metal." As a key link between the two, Huo Yuhao had merely integrated them.
At this moment, if Qiu'er completed Spirit-Forging, she would become the pioneer of the metal forging system and an innovator of soul tool technical materials.
Even ten thousand years from now, Qiu'er would be a figure found in history books!
The world inevitably rewards such a feat that changes the world. Therefore, by observing the rise and fall of the power of fate, one could determine whether Qiu'er's Spirit-Forging was successful.
Time passed bit by bit. Sensing the increasingly rapid rhythm of forging from within the cave, Di Tian, knowing that Spirit-Forging had reached its most critical moment, stopped focusing his gaze on Huo Yuhao.
Beside him, the Bear Lord listened intently to the "clanging" sounds, trying to perceive the key to stepping into Spirit-Forging from within the rhythm. If he could grasp it, he might also be able to follow suit and cross that threshold.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, the constantly shifting power of fate underwent a violent change. Qiu'er's massive providence, which originally belonged to the Soul Beast race, surged upward!
In this instant, every Soul Beast within the Star Constellation Great Forest that possessed even a hint of sapience stopped their movements and looked up toward Qiu'er's direction.
As the Auspicious Beast of the Soul Beast race, the change in Qiu'er's providence was also of great benefit to the entire race. The most obvious effect was that their cultivation speed increased!
Furthermore, the entire Star Constellation Great Forest seemed to be favored by the world; heaven-and-earth primordial energy naturally gathered here. Even in the outer reaches of the forest, the concentration of energy increased by ten percent!
As for the Lake of Life, the core area of the forest, the energy concentration jumped by a full forty percent! And this bonus seemed to be increasing as time went on!
As the symbol of the Soul Beast race's destiny, Qiu'er shares both glory and ruin with her kind.
Part of the fate gained from pioneering Spirit-Forging fell upon Qiu'er, while the rest was entirely attributed to the Soul Beasts!
By the Lake of Life, Gu Yuena felt the power of fate descending upon her, slowly healing her injuries. For a moment, she didn't know what expression to make.
As the Co-lord of Soul Beasts, she had accepted the Auspicious Beast's favor. Now that she was thoroughly accepted by the world, it seemed... she could focus entirely on recovering from her wounds.
Slightly silent, Gu Yuena lowered her gaze toward the Lake of Life, her purple eyes reflecting a hint of contemplation. No one knew what she was thinking.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao had already stepped into the cave the moment the forging sound ceased and Qiu'er's power of fate completely stabilized.
Di Tian, whose mind was full of concern for his "cabbage," and the Bear Lord, whose mind was full of Spirit-Forged metal, followed closely behind.
Soon, the narrow passage opened up into a vast underground space before Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao had no time to worry about the surroundings. Following the guidance of fate, his gaze fell upon a figure holding a forging hammer, with five blood-red Blood Essence Soul Rings floating around her.
"Qiu'er..."
Huo Yuhao's steps paused. The blue-pink figure seemed to sense something and spun around to face him.
Seeing it was Huo Yuhao, the golden light in the blue-pink figure's eyes instantly receded, revealing a unique blue-pink hue.
"Yuhao!"
The Auspicious Beast, who had transformed from a giant golden cat into the blue-pink girl she was now, didn't care for social boundaries. With a flash of her figure, she lunged and tackled Huo Yuhao, rubbing her blue-pink head against his chest just as she did when she was a big golden cat.
The "Old Father" Di Tian, who entered a step behind, saw his "cabbage" frantically "rooting around the pig," and his face instantly turned black.
Meanwhile, the Bear Lord, whose philosophy was "no women in the heart, forging is naturally divine," ignored them completely. He walked straight to the forging table and immediately began observing the Spirit-Forged metal Qiu'er had produced.
As for Huo Yuhao, his mind was currently in a bit of a mess.
Looking at the Qiu'er in his arms—whose appearance bore similarities to himself, Gu Yuena, and the Radiant Butterfly Goddess from his past life, yet possessed her own distinct style—he was momentarily at a loss for words.
In a daze, Huo Yuhao seemed to receive another revelation from the Planar Will.
"Child, I made this girlfriend according to your preferences~ Consider it compensation for not feeding you more power of fate~"
The Planar Will is fair. Toward the masses, it treats every living being equally.
But at the same time, it is unfair. Toward certain special favorites, it is almost indulgent—giving whatever is asked for.
It could almost be called absolute favoritism.
To others, this was truly unfair, but... unfortunately, Huo Yuhao was the child pampered by the Planar Will.
Especially since Huo Yuhao was firmly determined to reform the entire Douluo Planet and elevate the world's level—and had actually made real efforts to do so—the Planar Will had shifted from "pampering" to "spoiling."
Now it was even sending him a wife???
Looking at the Three-eyed Golden Lion holding onto him tightly, Huo Yuhao instinctively reached out and rubbed her head.
"Jinni?"
"I'm here, Yuhao!"
The girl looked up, her tone filled with youthful joy. Her eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao, unwilling to look away for even a second. Familiar emotions were displayed before him without the slightest concealment.
Huo Yuhao was slightly dazed. He wanted to speak, but ultimately, he reflexively changed the subject.
"Why did you choose to transform... and those soul rings just now..."
"Oh, that! Elder Yi taught me!"
The Three-eyed Golden Lion explained. Her Soul Beast body was naturally unsuitable for forging, so being clever, she chose to transform.
However, after transforming, she found her strength insufficient, so she sought help from Electrolux, who was researching transformation secrets.
After seeing her Golden Dragon martial soul with its Ultimate Strength after transformation, Electrolux directly gave her the techniques for Soul Ring Bone Nourishing and Blood Essence Soul Rings, leading her onto the path of Blood Essence Body Cultivation.
"The Golden Dragon with Ultimate Strength paired with Blood Essence Body Cultivation..."
Huo Yuhao murmured. Honestly, it was a perfect match. A top-tier Beast Martial Soul like the Golden Dragon, whose focus was precisely on physique and strength.
This wasn't just a matter of "compatibility"; the entire Blood Essence Body Cultivation system seemed tailor-made for the transformed Three-eyed Golden Lion!
