The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Until four years ago, because his old illness could no longer be suppressed, Master Wuwang had no choice but to go into seclusion to treat the hidden injuries and ailments in his body.

Not knowing when he would emerge from seclusion, he asked Ye Ling which elder of the sect she liked, hoping to find her a patron while he was away. This way, he could feel a little more at ease during his seclusion.

As expected, she chose Chunyang Zhenren. There was no other reason than that he was handsome, gentle and refined, tolerant of everything, and spoke softly and gently. She had been very attached to him since she was a child.

Moreover, Master Chunyang did treat her well, never lacking spirit stones, pills, resources, and magic treasures. This is why she was able to give the female and male protagonists so many things. She also arranged the best room for her and decorated it according to her preferences.

The other inner disciples of Changchun Peak also treated her very well. When she acted foolishly, they would often come to persuade her. Of course, Ye Ling still had a conscience. Knowing that they were good to her, she never scolded them. She just let it go in one ear and out the other.

In the original book, after being killed by the male protagonist, his body was thrown to a demon beast, leaving no trace of his remains. The only ones truly saddened were Chang Chunfeng's people and a few elders who had watched him grow up.

Although she often did some messy things, everyone turned a blind eye and even cleaned up her messes. But after all, they were fellow disciples whom they had watched grow up or had spent a lot of time with, so there was some affection between them.

In particular, her master, upon learning of her demise, felt ashamed of failing Wu Wang Zhenren's entrustment and had no face to see him. His Dao heart became unstable, his cultivation stagnated, and finally, when the world was on the verge of destruction, he died in battle to protect the sect.

Apart from that scheming woman and that scumbag, no one has any conscience. Even though she's dead, she's still acting to cultivate an image of being friendly to her fellow disciples.

However, only Wu Wang Zhenren probably knows what happened during his coma. But Chun Yang Zhenren should also know something, otherwise, no matter how much she was favored, her accidental death in the secret realm would not have caused him to be like this, or even to have his Dao heart unstable.

Unless he knows he is the chosen one, and his own demise signifies the failure of their plan, reducing the likelihood of successfully surviving the future cataclysmic crisis.

Based on what I know so far, someone is playing a grand game, and she is an important pawn. Her journey to another world, her transmigration into a book, and her rebirth as the female protagonist—all of this, from the ancient Yun family in the book to the Fuguang Sect in Zhongzhou, was all planned by someone.

The Ye family, the Yun family, Wuwang Zhenren, Chunyang Zhenren, and that mysterious person were all involved. What could possibly make them willingly submit to manipulation?

The Ye and Yun families did it for the sake of their family's future and their own survival, so why did Master Chunyang go into seclusion when she was almost eighteen years old?

What was it that he cared about? The sect? No, if it were the sect, he would have known about its impending doom long ago and could have made preparations in advance, perhaps even preserving some of the sect's resources. But it seems that he never came out of seclusion again later in the novel.

What role did he play in all of this? Where did he end up? Ye Ling felt something flash by, but she couldn't quite grasp it.

And then there's my master. No matter how much trouble I get into, he always smiles and helps me solve it. Why does he spoil me so much? And he's been deliberately kind to me since I was little. Was it so that I would eventually choose him as my master? But why would he do that?

And that handsome, mysterious man—why can't she remember what he looks like? What does he know? He must be an important participant; he seems to have orchestrated the whole process of getting here, but Ye Ling always feels that someone is behind him.

In any case, I am not in immediate danger. After all, as an important pawn, they are the ones who hope I am safe and sound even more than I am myself.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I need to figure out how to get out of this predicament first. The male lead should be showing up soon. Should I stay with him, or should I slip away first?

He's the male lead, so there must be good things for him, but I definitely won't get them. I might even get tricked by him, since I'm not strong enough right now. Strength is what determines the final say, and I clearly don't have it.

So I guess I'll just have to run away for now. Whatever, I'll just have to survive. Once I get stronger, I'll make you pay back everything you swindled from me. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. You just wait.

Once she made up her mind, Ye Ling immediately took action, leaving this place and going to a safe place—anywhere without the male and female protagonists, that would be safe.

Ye Ling chose a path opposite to that of the male and female protagonists, flying on her sword. As she flew, she thought to herself that the female protagonist was in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, the male protagonist was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and she herself was just a little Karami, still in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.

What should she do? She's been stuck in this period for six or seven years. In the novel, Ye Ling was brought back to the Floating Light Sect at the age of six. After the test, her comprehension was good, but her aptitude was very poor. She had mixed spiritual roots, and quite mixed ones at that. She basically had all kinds of spiritual roots, so she was basically a waste.

Ye Ling knew that her aptitude was poor, but Master Wuwang seemed unaware of this and secretly found all sorts of rare and precious treasures for her to nourish. However, with so many good things, just one of them could raise an ordinary disciple's cultivation level by a whole major realm, but she had to eat several of them to raise her cultivation level by only one minor realm.

Since her cultivation reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, True Person Wuwang stopped giving her many rare and precious treasures, which she originally thought meant he had given up on her.

On the eve of his seclusion, he called himself over and told himself that after he returned from the secret realm at the age of eighteen, he should go back to Jade Peak to find his personal disciple, who was also her senior brother Liang, who was in finance.

Speaking of this senior brother, he actually raised her since she was a child. Unfortunately, he was very disappointed in her later and never went to Changchun Peak to look for her again. However, he would still secretly care about whether she had bullied him, because he had beaten up everyone who bullied him, including the male and female protagonists.

Ye Ling couldn't help but give her senior brother a thumbs up in her heart. It was a pity that this senior brother was ultimately tricked and killed in a great secret realm by the vengeful male and female protagonists.

However, it seemed that this Wuwang Zhenren knew all of this and had made arrangements in advance.

Sigh, maybe they already know about what happened to her. Ye Ling's head was getting more and more so. Why did they have to do this to her?

"Why do other transmigrators have a newbie protection period, a cheat system, and a system? What about the down-on-his-luck old man? Why don't I have anything? Besides having a pretty powerful family background and a master who is suitable to be cannon fodder, none of these are of any use."

"Why is it that everyone else gets a 'newbie protection period,' but for me it's like starting a hellish dungeon?"

Ye Ling's expression was solemn, but inwardly she was screaming in despair.
