Start of text:

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

The clear lake water shimmered with light, and a rich, almost tangible, life force enveloped the entire core area.

On the lakeside, a boy who looked about six or seven years old stood shirtless, staring blankly at his soft, white hands.

The boy's name is Ouyang.

Or rather, his current soul is called Ouyang.

"Have I...time-traveled?"

A flood of memories rushed into his mind, and Ouyang's expression gradually changed from blank to dazed, and finally he was completely numb.

He transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and became a soul beast.

It's not an ordinary soul beast; it's a 100,000-year-old divine beast with an extremely rare bloodline.

This kind of soul beast is extremely good at sleeping. Of its 100,000 years of cultivation, 99,909 years were spent in slumber, and the time it was truly awake added up to no more than 91 years.

And he is this divine beast that has just survived a 100,000-year calamity and successfully transformed into human form.

"Transformed into human form...innate soul power level 40...and comes with a complete set of 100,000-year soul bones..."

As Ouyang felt the surging soul power within his body, as well as the six soul bones attached to his limbs, torso, and head, his lips twitched wildly.

This start is absolutely incredible!

The problem is, he's a soul beast!

A human transformed from a soul beast, mingling in the human world—isn't that the ultimate double agent?

Once exposed, the consequence would be being hunted down by countless titled Douluo, having their skin peeled off, tendons pulled out, and bones removed!

What's worse, he grew up with the Azure Bull Python Daming, the Titan Giant Ape Erming, and the Soft-Boned Rabbit Xiaowu who loved to pick radishes in this forest.

Although he sleeps most of the time, his seniority makes him the undisputed boss!

Just as his scalp tingled, a mechanical voice rang in his mind.

[Ding! Host transformation detected. God-level self-destruct system officially activated!]

This system aims to help the host soar to new heights, pushing the boundaries of self-destruction. As long as the host actively exposes any anomalies or engages in reckless behavior that raises suspicion about their identity, they will receive generous rewards!

[New player gift pack has been distributed. Please make your starting selection!]

Ouyang was taken aback.

A system? Or one that encourages reckless behavior?

That's great! I was just wondering how to survive in this dangerous world!

Option 1: Follow your soul beast instincts, hide deep within the Star Dou Great Forest and eke out a living until you become a million-year soul beast. Reward: None.

Ouyang rolled his eyes.

"Humble? Me, a cheat character with a full set of 100,000-year-old soul bones, you want me to be humble? Never in this lifetime!"

Option Two: Head to Notting City, infiltrate Shrek Academy, become a lackey of the future Sea God Tang San, and cling to the protagonist's coattails. Reward: One Resurrection Armor (allows one full-health resurrection after death).

"To be Tang San's underling?" Ouyang curled his lip.

Are you kidding me!

He's the leader of the two Ming dynasties, and even Xiao Wu has to obediently call him Brother Ouyang.

Becoming Tang San's subordinate has completely messed up the generational hierarchy!

Option 3: Strid to Wuhun City, publicly display the system-simulated million-year spirit ring in front of the Papal Palace, and confess your identity as a spirit beast. Reward: Your first spirit ring evolves directly into a million-year divine-level spirit ring! One resurrection armor!

Upon seeing option three, Ouyang's eyes lit up instantly.

A million-year soul ring!

Resurrection Armor!

This reward is absolutely incredible!

Moreover, this option perfectly matches his current mindset.

Be honest!

I am a soul beast, what can't I say?

Surrendering to the Spirit Hall will not only complete the system's suicidal mission, but also reward you with a genuine million-year spirit ring and an extra life.

This move was a huge win!

"System, I choose option three!"

Ouyang practically shouted it out.

[Ding! Host has selected option three! Mission issued: Please proceed to Wuhun City immediately and surrender yourself in front of the Pope's Palace!]

[The reward 'Million-Year Soul Ring Simulation Permission' has been issued. The host can activate it at any time, and it will last for ten minutes.]

[Task complete, newbie rewards will be officially issued!]

"Okay!"

Full of energy, Ouyang got up from the lakeside, checked the direction, and started running towards Wuhun City with his short legs.

As a divine beast that has lived for 100,000 years, although it spends most of its time sleeping, the geographical location of the continent is still engraved in its genes.

With his innate level 40 Soul Master strength, he traveled at an astonishing speed at full speed.

a few days later.

The magnificent Martial Soul City finally appeared on the horizon.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

This is a sacred place in the hearts of all Soul Masters across the continent, and the huge square in front of the hall is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

At this moment, the square was bustling with people, mostly Soul Masters who had come to pay homage or handle business.

Just then, a black-haired boy who looked only six or seven years old walked step by step to the center of the square.

His clothes were somewhat tattered, and he looked travel-worn, but his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

After several days of travel, Ouyang finally arrived at his destination.

"Phew... We've finally arrived."

Ouyang took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions.

He looked around at the Soul Masters coming and going, a bright smile spreading across his face.

Great, there are enough audience members and the atmosphere is just right.

It's time for my performance!

"System, activate million-year soul ring simulation!"

[Ding! The million-year soul ring simulation privilege has been activated, lasting for ten minutes!]

In an instant, an indescribable terrifying aura erupted from Ouyang's small body!

Om-!

A dazzling golden halo slowly rose from beneath his feet.

That gold was more dazzling than the sun.

It is covered with mysterious dark gold patterns, as if it contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Each shift caused ripples in the surrounding space, as if it were about to collapse under the weight of the pressure!

"Soul... Soul Ring?"

On the plaza, a Soul Master who was registering was the first to notice the strange situation. He looked up blankly, and then his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"What color is that spirit ring? Gold...golden?!"

His exclamation was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"A golden spirit ring? Are you kidding me! Spirit rings are just white, yellow, purple, black, and red, right? Where would a golden one come from?"

"My God! That oppressive force... I feel my martial spirit trembling! It's terrified!"

A powerful Soul Master turned pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Me too! I can't move! What is that thing?!"

Panic spread through the population like a plague.

Under the terrifying pressure of the golden spirit ring, not to mention ordinary spirit masters, even the few spirit kings and spirit emperors who happened to be present felt as if they were being pressed down by an ancient divine mountain, making it extremely difficult to breathe!

The entire Papal Square fell into a deathly silence.

Thousands upon thousands of Soul Masters stood frozen in place, staring in terror at the boy enveloped in a golden halo, as if they were looking at a god descending to earth.

In that moment of utter silence, Ouyang cleared his throat and, with all his might, let out a deafening shout:

"I'm coming clean!"

"I am a soul beast! A 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form!"

"I created this spirit ring myself! Come and kill me! Kill me and you'll get a spirit bone! My entire body is made up of 100,000-year-old spirit bones! First come, first served!"

Ouyang's voice, amplified by his soul power, resonated clearly throughout the entire plaza and even reached into the magnificent Papal Palace.

However, his shouts received no response; instead, they made the expressions of all the Soul Masters present even more bizarre and horrified.

Soul Beast?

A 100,000-year-old soul beast taking human form?

Are you kidding me!

Have you ever seen a 100,000-year-old soul beast whose first soul ring is gold?!

This is a legendary, mythical... million-year soul ring!

A person with a million-year soul ring claims to be a soul beast?

This child, is he or is he an idiot?

Or rather...

What earth-shattering secret is he hiding in this utterly outrageous way?!

Everyone's brains went into a state of shutdown.

The scene before them was completely beyond their comprehension.

Ouyang, seeing the deathly silence in the room, was secretly overjoyed.

"Haha! The effect is amazing!"

"Look at how terrified they are! This is a sure thing! A million-year spirit ring, here I come!"

He was completely unaware that the gazes of the Soul Masters present had gradually shifted from initial shock to a complex mix of awe, fear, and extreme confusion.
