Pet Beasts and their Masters can communicate telepathically. Nangong Lingyun immediately inquired through his mind, "You're thinking of...?"
Ah Yin gently said, "Actually, besides the Life and Plant attributes, and the Devour and Bearing characteristics of the Blue Silver Grass, there's also a small ability that isn't exactly an attribute or a characteristic, and that's the connection between the clans.
Ordinary Blue Silver Grass can contribute its power to the Emperor, and the Emperor can also bestow blessings and reward power to other Blue Silver Grass subordinates.
If I bestow an Emperor Blood Spirit Ring to him, his Spirit quality should improve a lot, perhaps aiding in control, attack, and overall selection.
Furthermore, the Emperor Blood Spirit Ring can continuously evolve. When my power recovers to its peak in the future, strengthening it to a hundred thousand years won't be impossible."
"Will bestowing this Emperor Blood Spirit Ring affect you?"
Nangong Lingyun's voice was somewhat serious.
Jerry's spirit ring would at most just take some effort. With Angel Yan around, he wasn't worried about not being able to hunt a suitable one.
But if it delayed the Blue Silver Emperor's recovery too much, it wouldn't be worth it.
Ah Yin was silent for two seconds, then a voice that was quite different from usual, carrying a hint of a smile, appeared in his mind again.
"Yes, it will, a lot.
A hundred-year spirit ring, it might take me a full two and a half hours to recover."
Nangong Lingyun was stunned, his expression suddenly becoming incredibly surprised.
"Haha, I've lived long enough to see it, Ah Yin is actually joking with me.
You wait, when you transform again, Master will definitely give you a big surprise."
...
The carriage sped along the way.
By noon the next day, the group had already arrived near the Primary Soul Hunting Forest.
Yuan Tiangang took out a token engraved with three patterns and showed it to the personnel guarding the entrance. They were quickly allowed to pass.
As the group walked inside, Xiao Wu's mood suddenly became somewhat low.
Previously, her eyes darted around, and she always had endless topics to talk about, but now she was just walking in silence, head lowered, not saying a word.
Nangong Lingyun knowingly asked, "What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
"Yun-ge, do you think spirit rings are really that important to Spirit Masters?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Tiangang and Jerry's gazes suddenly became somewhat strange.
Especially the former Bad Handsome, he didn't know that Xiao Wu was a hundred thousand year Spirit Beast in human form, but he had already keenly realized that something was wrong.
Nangong Lingyun didn't answer directly, but instead fell into rare contemplation.
Two years had passed, and with his unremitting efforts, Xiao Wu and Ah Yin's favorability had both reached eighty percent.
The higher the favorability, the closer the relationship, and the greater the difficulty in continuing to increase it.
In particular, forty percent and seventy percent were two important thresholds.
Below thirty percent, showing extraordinary qualities, leaving a good impression, and causing shock could easily increase it.
But beyond seventy percent, ordinary tricks were basically useless and a big move was needed.
After pondering for a while, Nangong Lingyun's face suddenly turned pale and said,
"Survival of the fittest.
The path of cultivation is about defying the heavens and fighting for one's life.
Whether it's within humanity or between different Spirit Beasts, fierce competition is constantly taking place.
I can't answer the question you asked,
because if I take one less step forward today, I might have my head chopped off tomorrow, dying miserably by the roadside, tasting the bitter taste of defeat.
Along with my friends, family, and subordinates, becoming food for wild dogs, my dreams, ideals, and achievements will also be in vain.
Perhaps, when my hands are strong enough to control my own destiny, I will consider the things you are worried about."
The things I'm worried about? Did I say I was worried about something?
Xiao Wu's face was surprised for a moment, but then she was immediately drawn away by Nangong Lingyun's next words.
"Haven't you always wanted to know why I work so hard and why I can persevere so much?
Because in my mind, there are the endings of two stories."
"Two what stories?"
Xiao Wu, Jerry, Ah Yin, Angel Yan, and Yuan Tiangang all perked up their ears at the same time.
"One is a story with someone else as the protagonist,
that person regards all living beings as chives, views Tianxia as a seedling field, using the suffering of all living beings to create joy for one person, using the destruction of Tianxia to create prosperity for one person.
In order to allow one family to steal artifacts for generations,
he will destroy everything I cherish, uphold, admire, and believe is right, covering the entire World with a layer of dark cloud that cannot be dispersed.
With his future, behind vermilion gates, meat and wine are left to rot, while on the roads, there are corpses of those who have frozen to death; the rich possess fields stretching for miles, while the poor do not have enough land to stand on.
The Spirit Beast race will be destroyed, and humanity will have no hope of rising again.
The other is my story. I want to change all of that, regardless of the ending of this World or the ending of myself and the people and things I value."
As Nangong Lingyun spoke, Jerry looked admiringly at him.
He could never say such impressive-sounding words.
Yan's face was also full of gratification.
As the creators and upholders of justice and order, Angels infinitely agreed with and admired his ideal.
Yuan Tiangang's eyes revealed longing.
In his eyes, not only was the other possible future extremely bad, but the current World was actually not much better.
As for Ah Yin and Xiao Wu, they suddenly screamed in shock.
"What?"
The words "Spirit Beast destruction" were undoubtedly like a thunderbolt in their ears.
However, the next moment, after realizing that everyone's expressions were wrong, the rabbit reacted and quickly added,
"Could it be that with your talent, you still can't control your own destiny?"
Nangong Lingyun chuckled.
"Do you know how big this World is?
Nuoding City is just the smallest city in Fasinuo Province, and above Fasinuo Province is the Heaven Dou Empire. Stronger than the Heaven Dou Empire are the Upper Three Sects, and the major Sects are far inferior to Spirit Hall, not to mention the many secret God Trial grounds.
And if you leave this planet, even Douluo Continent is just one of the many gatherings of living beings.
In the vast sky, no one knows how many life planes are hidden in those stars.
If you only want to be king and dominate in Nuoding City, then a medium Spirit, Innate Four levels of spirit power, and a carefree cultivation will be enough to become a Spirit Ancestor one day.
But what about this continent? What about this planet? What about this starry sky?
How strong does one need to be to conquer them? What kind of terrifying and cunning enemies will one face? What kind of cruel killings and dangerous challenges will one have to endure?
Xiao Wu,
when your vision is no longer limited to a corner of the land, you will find that even talents like Super Spirit and Innate Full Soul Power become nothing more than that.
Speaking of Spirit alone, higher than the Super grade are six levels: God-level, Auxiliary God-level, Main God-level, God King-level, Supreme-level, and Creation-level.
If one day, the opponent you face has everything you have, and also has what you don't have, what will you rely on to defeat the opponent?"
