101?
Long Xuanye’s brain crashed for the second time.
How could it be one hundred and one?
What kind of joke was this?
Wasn’t the limit of Innate Internal Spiritual Power one hundred?!
Where did the extra point come from?
He did not know.
When he had fought the Demon Wolves in a bloody battle, survived after reaching the edge of death, and then been healed by Sheng Cai’er through the Samsara Spiritual Stove, he had already broken past the limits of ordinary humans.
Boom—!!!
A towering illusory light erupted from Long Xuanye’s body!
The entire cave shook violently.
The hard rock above cracked in an instant, spreading like a spiderweb.
Then it exploded with a loud crash.
Broken stones flew everywhere.
Moonlight and starlight poured down without obstruction, lighting up the three completely different expressions inside the cave.
The golden pillar of light shot into the sky with such terrifying force that even the white-robed assassin felt his heart tremble.
He had originally wanted to test Long Xuanye.
But now, he retreated without hesitation.
After pulling back, the rich spiritual power of an eighth-rank expert surged out of his body without restraint, forming a solid barrier that blocked every flying stone.
At this moment, he had only one thought.
He had to protect him!
This child’s awakening could not go wrong!
This aura…
This aura was even more terrifying than when Her Highness the Saintess of Samsara awakened!
Wait.
How was that possible?
The white-robed assassin froze for a moment.
But his hands did not stop.
He rapidly dealt with the flying sand and stones.
Inside the brilliant golden pillar of light, Long Xuanye’s aura was rising at a frightening speed.
In an instant—
Third rank.
Achieved.
But the golden pillar did not shrink at all after Long Xuanye advanced to the third rank.
Boom!!!
With an unstoppable force, the light pillar tore through the night sky and shattered the clouds.
It ripped open the top of the cave.
Across the entire Odin Mountain Range, and even in towns farther away, countless people woke from their sleep in shock.
They stared in horror at the sacred pillar of light piercing heaven and earth.
They thought a miracle had descended.
Inside the cave, the radiance slowly drew inward.
All of it returned to Long Xuanye’s body.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The world had changed in his perception.
At the same time, a string of cold system prompts flooded his mind.
[Ding! Get faster updates on g.com.

Reward: Special Growth-Type Spiritual Stove — Chaos Spiritual Stove.]
[God-Level Choice Reward Issued!]
[Congratulations, host.
You have obtained — Chaos Spiritual Stove!]
The moment the voice fell, Long Xuanye felt an indescribable vortex quietly form near his heart.
One half was pure white, dazzling to the extreme.
The other half was deep black, capable of swallowing all light.
Light and darkness reached perfect balance inside his body in a mysterious form.
[Chaos Spiritual Stove: Initial Form.

[Detected host’s Innate Internal Spiritual Power is 101.

Long Xuanye’s mind shook violently.
He clearly “saw” it.
Within the vast golden ocean of spiritual power inside his body, a weak yet incredibly pure strand of black was quietly born.

And it was not over yet.
As the Chaos Spiritual Stove fully activated, an ancient and noble bloodline aura surged from deep within the Spiritual Stove.
In an instant, it swept through his entire body.
Countless shattered images crashed into his mind like a broken dam.
Demon gods.
They were the inheritance memories of thousands upon thousands of demon gods, from birth to death.

In the outside world, only a few breaths had passed.
The golden light in Long Xuanye’s eyes completely faded.
His eyes returned to their usual clarity.
He raised his head.
The first thing he saw was the white-robed assassin standing before him, protecting him like an eighth-rank guardian.
The other party clearly sensed that he had awakened too.
He turned around.
The gaze beneath the mask was complicated and burning.
Long Xuanye had not even had time to digest the information in his mind when he heard a cry.
“Xuanye!”
“Are you okay?”
A sobbing call broke the silence between them.
Sheng Cai’er stumbled toward him.
Her tearful eyes anxiously swept over his body, checking whether anything was wrong with him.
Her undisguised worry almost spilled out.
The girl’s palms were soft and gentle.
They felt very comfortable.
Warmth rose in Long Xuanye’s heart.
But soon, a strange feeling followed.
He remembered how she had stayed by his side while he was unconscious.
He remembered how focused she had been when feeding him porridge.
This girl…
Why did she look more and more like she was taking care of an ignorant son?
Had she really started treating herself as his mother?
“I’m fine,” Long Xuanye said.
Because of the surge in spiritual power, his voice sounded full and steady.
But Cai’er was still hanging onto him and refused to let go.
At that moment, the white-robed assassin stepped forward.
He stood before Long Xuanye.
His tone carried a solemnity that had never been there before.
The white-robed man did not know whether what he had just seen was an illusion.
How could someone’s awakening be even more exaggerated than the Saintess’s?
But that did not affect his decision.
“Long Xuanye, right?
You are the strongest genius I have ever seen in my life.”
“I do not know why your family abandoned you and left you wandering in a place like Odin Town.
But none of that matters anymore.”
The white-robed assassin extended his hand to him.
“Come back with me to the Assassin Temple.
The Temple will use all its resources to cultivate you.
No matter the cost.”
Hearing this, light instantly bloomed on Sheng Cai’er’s face.
Back to the Assassin Temple?
Did that mean…
In the future, she could always be with him?
Xuanye would not have to wander outside anymore.
Long Xuanye did not answer.
His gaze landed on Sheng Cai’er’s face.
“What about Cai’er?” he asked.
The white-robed assassin’s tone stiffened.
He closed his eyes slightly.
In the end, he spoke coldly.
“She is the Saintess of Samsara.
Her trial is not over yet.
She must continue walking forward.”
The moment those words fell, the smile on Sheng Cai’er’s face froze.
The light in her eyes dimmed instantly.
The small hand tightly holding Long Xuanye’s arm silently loosened.
