Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Senior... this..." Chu Qin said somewhat embarrassingly. After killing the descendant of the Nether Beast, to take its treasure as well?

"If not you, then who else shall I give it to?" The Heavenly Demon said with a slight smile, "I have already passed on all of the Heavenly Demon's power to you, and my mission is now considered complete."

"Senior, are you leaving?" Chu Qin asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's time for my soul to return to the Nine Heavens!" The Heavenly Demon declared.

"Wait, Senior Heavenly Demon, can the Tree of Life resurrect you?" Xi E asked hurriedly.

"The Tree of Life indeed possesses the power to revive the dead, but for beings at our level, it is utterly ineffective. Once Ancestral Level Beings die, it means the mission bestowed by the Mother of the Universe is fulfilled," the Heavenly Demon said with a carefree smile.

"Alright, don't be sad for me," the Heavenly Demon continued, "Getting to know you, Chu Qin, and having you inherit my power of the Heavenly Demon, has made me very happy."

Chu Qin was a fickle man, but he valued loyalty immensely and was someone who remembered kindness and sought vengeance for wrongs. He never forgot those who had been good to him.

The Heavenly Demon had given him his legacy and made him stronger. He was Chu Qin's benefactor.

Now that his benefactor was about to leave, how could he not feel sorrow?

Don't forget, Chu Qin was only in his twenties—he didn't have the heart of stone as other strong figures did!

"Wait, Senior, may I inquire about one thing?" Chu Qin asked amidst his sadness.

"Hmm!" The Heavenly Demon responded.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Tree of Life?" Chu Qin inquired.

"The Tree of Life is no longer here," the Heavenly Demon announced.

"Gone, where did it go?" Chu Qin asked in astonishment, "But the sap of the Tree of Life sensed that the Tree of Life is right here!"

"The Tree of Life left the Life Forbidden Zone many ten-thousands of years ago," the Heavenly Demon explained, "What your sap of the Tree of Life sensed must have been the Sprout of Life."

"The Sprout of Life?" Chu Qin and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"Correct, the Sprout of Life can indeed be considered part of the Tree of Life, that is, the daughter of the Ancient Emperor of Life. She lies beneath my body, and the Tree of Life entrusted me to take care of her," the Heavenly Demon disclosed, "It happens that after I leave and my body disappears, I will entrust the Sprout of Life to you as well!"

"The Sprout of Life, beneath your body?" Chu Qin said with a slight shock.

"Yes, you will be able to see it shortly. The Sprout of Life also possesses the power to bring back the dead," the Heavenly Demon revealed, "Young man, do you have any other questions?"

Chu Qin shook his head.

"Alright then, farewell. I entrust to you both the legacy of the Heavenly Demon and the Sprout of Life!"

As soon as the Heavenly Demon finished speaking, his enormous skeletal remains completely vanished from sight, leaving Chu Qin and the ladies floating in mid-air.

"Senior Heavenly Demon!" Chu Qin called out subconsciously.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Demon was gone, leaving no further sound.

At that moment, a green light appeared beneath the feet of Chu Qin and his company.

On closer inspection, the green light was emanating from a giant tree.

This colossal tree was situated in a deep pit beneath the Heavenly Demon's bones. The pit was a kilometer in diameter and about two thousand meters tall, with the giant tree perfectly filling the entire space.

It resembled a huge banyan tree, with lush foliage and an extensive root system; one tree constituted an ancient forest.

"Is this the Sprout of Life?!"

"How can a sprout be so huge?"

"If this is just the sprout, how massive is the Tree of Life?"

Standing at the base of the tree, everyone gazed up at the towering giant and expressed their astonishment.

"Emperor of the Moon, is the Tree of Life you saw the same as this one?" Chu Qin asked Yue Yina.

"It looks similar, but also different. The Tree of Life I saw bore fruit," Yue Yina's eyebrows curved slightly, "Moreover, that Tree of Life was much larger than this one; a single leaf of hers could cover a hill."

"I remember now. The Tree of Life, also known as the Tree of Cosmic Life, is said to be the transformation of the universe's pillar holding up the sky. One leaf could represent an entire planet," Xi E explained, "So indeed, this Tree of Life is truly a young sprout compared to that one!"

"One leaf, one planet..."

At that moment, the ladies could only imagine how spectacular such a sight would be!

"Who are you?"

Just then, an ethereal and beautiful voice arose.

"Who, who is speaking!" Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Bai Xiuxiu, and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"It's her," Chu Qin and Xi E calmly watched the Tree of Life in front of them.

Indeed, at this moment, the Tree of Life, with its green light, became exceptionally bright.

"Are you the Sprout of Life?" Chu Qin asked calmly.

"Correct, I am the Sprout of Life. Who are you, and where has the predecessor, Heavenly Demon, gone?" the Sprout of Life asked somewhat surprised.

"The predecessor, Heavenly Demon, has returned his soul to the Nine Heavens," Chu Qin said with a slight sigh.

"What?" The Sprout of Life was slightly taken aback. However, she wasn't too shocked, "Has that day finally come?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Qin asked.

"The predecessor, Heavenly Demon, was a great person. He suppressed the ferocious beast Zhu Yan with his own bloodline and body. He told me long ago that one day, his soul would return to the Nine Heavens. But before that, he would choose someone he could absolutely trust to inherit his power of Tian Mo," the Sprout of Life answered, "It seems that you are that person."

"Do you have the Power of Tian Mo?" the Sprout of Life asked.

"Yes," Chu Qin nodded, and with a thought, the Power of Tian Mo surged vehemently through his body.

"Hmm, it is the predecessor Heavenly Demon's power," the Sprout of Life said, "Will you take me with you then?"

"Hmm?" Chu Qin asked, slightly surprised.

"The predecessor, Heavenly Demon, said that I should go with the person he chose. That's the only way I could find the one who created me," the Sprout of Life replied.

"Are you talking about the Life Progenitor Emperor?" Chu Qin quickly realized.

"Correct. Just like Azure Dragon created his nine sons, I was created by the Life Progenitor Emperor using her power. She said that she was going on an important mission and might never come back. She asked me to take her place and carry out her duties in this universe," the Sprout of Life said.

"And what are your duties?" Xi E asked curiously.

"I do not know," the Sprout of Life shook her head, "Ever since I was created, she left me under the bones of the predecessor, Heavenly Demon, and I have never fulfilled any duties."

"Then do you have the power to bring the dead back to life?" Chu Qin hurriedly asked.

"I do," the Sprout of Life replied, "However, I cannot resurrect Ancestral Level Beings."

"That's wonderful!" All the women were overjoyed, especially Xi E and Huo Ninger, for the Great Emperor Taicang could be saved.

"And..." the Sprout of Life continued.

"And what?" Chu Qin and the women asked in unison.

"And, to resurrect a being above the Three Calamities Supreme Deity, a sacrifice of a strong being of the same realm is required," the Sprout of Life said, "Otherwise, it would cause great chaos in this universe."

When you think about it, it makes sense. If the Tree of Life existed and could resurrect without limit, it would revive all the Supreme Gods from ancient times to the present, and the entire universe would be plunged into complete chaos!

At that moment, Chu Qin felt he had acted too hastily.

He should not have killed Zhen Tianhu and Ghost Dragon so quickly.

"Chu Qin, there should still be two Sky Calamity Supreme Gods outside, right?" At this time, Xi E's beautiful eyes shone.

"Right, Hei Shen and White Ghost, how could I have forgotten about those two," Chu Qin nodded.

"Sprout of Life, would you be willing to come with me?" Then, Chu Qin asked with a smile towards the Tree of Life.

"I would!" the Sprout of Life replied, "Because you can take me back to her side."

"How should I take you with me then?"

As soon as his words fell, the Sprout of Life's body turned into a radiant green glow that ultimately entered Chu Qin's body.

"Okay, I have now entered your body," the Sprout of Life continued.

Hearing this, Chu Qin felt a bit awkward but quickly nodded and smiled, "I am Chu Qin!"

"Then you shouldn't call me Sprout of Life anymore. The Life Progenitor Emperor has given me a name, Ancient Emperor of Life, Gu Yin!" the Sprout of Life replied.

"You are the Ancient Emperor of Life?" Chu Qin's pupils widened.

Chu Qin originally thought the Ancient Emperor of Life was the Life Progenitor Emperor. He didn't expect that Gu Yin was the Ancient Emperor of Life.

That means...

"Ding! The System has detected that the host has completed the Goddess Mission and has obtained the Ancient Emperor of Life, the Goddess of the Perfect World Plane: Fire Ling'er!"

"What, the Sprout of Life is the Ancient Emperor of Life? A tree!!!"

"Wait, the little one's woman, Fire Ling'er!"

Hearing the System's prompt, Chu Qin was slightly startled.
