In Tiandou City, at Blue Silver Mansion's secret chamber,
Yun Chuan opened his eyes, returning his consciousness to his body. He no longer paid attention to Tang San, seeing the Blue Silver Emperor as just a plant ruler—one who must bow before the true Plant Sovereign.
Meanwhile…
Deep in the Blue Silver Forest, waves of powerful blue light continuously surged from all directions. Tang San floated gently in this ocean of energy. His two current soul rings—the Mandrake Snake and Ghost Vine—began glowing with a blue aura as countless points of blue light merged into them.
Simultaneously, the Blue Silver Grass surrounding Tang San changed, no longer just the external blue ocean but emerging from him. The grass became translucent and gem-like, glittering with sapphire brilliance, overlaid with golden veins running from roots to leaf tips.
The true Blue Silver Emperor had awakened!
A blue-gold radiance burst forth from Tang San, intensifying the light in the air and provoking the plants into vigorous growth. Even the ancient Blue Silver King near him became translucent and bore a satisfied expression.
Tang San's soul rings pulsed with blue-gold light, subtly different from before—not ordinary Blue Silver Grass rings but Blue Silver Emperor's rings.
His black hair gradually darkened to deep blue with threads of golden light, matching the grass's brilliance.
The vast blue light coalesced into a large ring orbiting him. As it compressed, its color deepened from bright blue to dark purple—the ring now mimicked the size and presence of an evolved soul ring.
The surroundings grew quiet.
The Blue Silver Grass, having grown to three times original height, now exuded much stronger life energy thanks to the Blue Silver Emperor's aura.
This aura elevated the entire Blue Silver Grass tribe qualitatively, greatly empowering Tang San and many plants alike.
"The soul rings you have now were formed by condensing an energy limit your body can bear," the Blue Silver King explained. "By human terms, these correspond to roughly what a 3,000-year soul beast's soul ring would be. These rings are generated within you and grow stronger as your body improves, adapting automatically."
Tang San's once-ordinary looks subtly changed, now appearing far more handsome—partly due to Tang Hao's bloodline and dimly resembling his twin Yun Chuan. But no comparison could be made in charm with the peerlessly gifted Yun Chuan.
Blue-gold light shimmered around him as Tang San instinctively released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul—a small cluster sprouting from his palm with sapphire-like leaves, smooth without the usual barbs.
This was no mere Blue Silver Grass—it was the exquisite Blue Silver Emperor!
Though once deemed a weak soul, Blue Silver Grass's evolution marked it as the ultimate martial soul and unique bloodline.
The entire awakening ritual took seven days. Once complete, Tang San bid farewell to the 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King and quietly left the ancient forest.
Stepping out, he saw his smiling parents and called out.
Tang Hao smiled wordlessly; Ah Yin lovingly examined his changed form.
"You've grown taller and become much more handsome. Now you are the true Blue Silver Emperor." She tenderly stroked his dark blue hair.
Tang San bowed gently, feeling a peaceful calmness in his heart.
A happy reunion of three.
——
After awakening to Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San eagerly tested his martial soul's new powers.
His summoned Blue Silver Grass vines were far stronger and more resilient than before—his battle prowess soared.
Simultaneously, Tang San inherited the Blue Silver Emperor's talent domain—the Blue Silver Domain.
Currently in its nascent state, the domain's main ability was camouflage: it could disguise the color of soul rings or even hide them visually.
This was a subtle, somewhat trivial ability, comparable to illusions some soul masters wield.
The domain's true power awaited at its final evolution—a skill called "Inclusion of a Hundred Rivers."
Within regions of Blue Silver Grass, the domain could convert all plant life energy into any form the emperor required, replenishing his strength indefinitely.
This could be life force, spirit power, or mental strength.
Such ultimate domain power rendered the Blue Silver Emperor nearly invincible in battles within his plant realm.
Though superficially similar to Yun Chuan's plant domain, the Blue Silver Domain was limited solely to Blue Silver Grass.
Yun Chuan's broader domain affected all plants and even caused their rapid growth—this key difference set them worlds apart.
Hence, Yun Chuan dismissed Tang San's achievement as irrelevant—his own Life Goddess martial soul naturally wielded the ultimate plant domain.
For Yun Chuan, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor status was just a starting point; he had no reason to fear it.
