Chapter 724: One Step, A Hundred Years!

Level 99, the Love Mist Illusion, which almost restored the state of a Million-Year Soul Beast, brought Qin Jian into nine lifetimes of reincarnation.

…

The first lifetime is Ning Rongrong.

Without a God Trial, and not a Humanoid Spirit Beast, he was just a youth with a talent for the sword.

Taken in as a disciple by Jian Douluo, he was a childhood sweetheart of Ning Rongrong.

They cultivated together and grew up together.

Without the intrusion of Qian Renxue, and without the guilt of having to break up, he took Jian Douluo to negotiate with Dugu Bo and easily exchanged for the Qiluo Tulip.

Subsequently engaged, he did not go to Shrek Academy, but grew up in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, without Inheritance, and did not participate in the Academy Tournament.

Qin Jian foresaw the future, helped the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect avoid the Soul Hunting Operation, and later took advantage of the situation to help Tang San destroy the Spirit Hall.

Life after marriage was very peaceful; he did not become a god, nor did he pursue a higher realm.

After Tang San left, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect unified the Douluo Continent, becoming the sole ruler.

A hundred years later, with gray hair, they went to the underworld together.

A life without regrets, cautious from beginning to end.

…

"Tap!"

Qin Jian took a step forward and opened his eyes.

One step, a hundred years.

A strand of his hair slowly lost its luster and turned white.

His eyes were full of the vicissitudes of life.

"Hum."

At the same time, a Soul Ring lit up and instantly turned blood red.

"Has the Soul Ring age increased to Ten Thousand Year..."

This was the first time Qin Jian discovered his voice could be so hoarse.

But he didn't care, just slowly closed his eyes again.

…

The second lifetime, Shui Bing'er.

He was the son of the Dean, born with peerless good looks and extraordinary talent, so he was admitted to Tianshui Academy as an exception.

From a very young age, he encouraged Shui Bing'er, not letting her become inferior and timid due to her father's suppression.

The two led the Tianshui Team to win the championship by relying on their outstanding Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Later, they expanded Tianshui Academy and established the Five Great Academies Alliance.

Amidst the disputes of the Dalu, they chose the right side.

Life with Shui Bing'er was smooth and without waves.

They grew old together.

…

"Tap."

Qin Jian opened his eyes again, one step, a hundred years.

Another strand of hair turned white, and a Soul Ring turned blood red.

…

The third lifetime, Zhu Zhuqing.

Qin Jian was born into the Star Luo royal family and had been in love with her since childhood.

Alas, she had long since been betrothed to Dai Mubai.

The two eloped and joined Shrek Academy.

During the Spirit Master Tournament, they crippled the brothers Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi, then returned to the Star Luo Empire to inherit the throne.

After Tang San left the Douluo Continent, they unified the continent.

As Emperor and Empress, they were buried together in the imperial mausoleum.

…

Opening his eyes for a hundred years, his hair turned white, and his Soul Ring turned red.

…

The fourth lifetime, Huo Wu.

The two had no blood relationship; both parents died when they were young, and they relied on each other for survival.

Later, they were adopted by the Dean and his wife of the Blazing Academy.

Because of their nominal relationship as siblings, they could not break through and experienced a period of painful struggle.

In the end, regardless of worldly reputation, they became husband and wife and spent their lives together.

…

The fifth lifetime, Xiao Wu.

In this lifetime, Qin Jian became a Soul Beast again, grew up with Xiao Wu, transformed, and entered the human world.

In order not to be detected by Tang Hao, Qin Jian did not take her to the Primary Academy near Holy Soul Village, but went to an academy far away from the existence of any Title Douluo.

They did not travel around until both reached level 70.

They did not participate in the disputes of the continent or the grievances between Tang San and the Spirit Hall.

They waited until Tang San left and the Spirit Hall declined.

Qin Jian led Xiao Wu to join the fallen Spirit Hall, and after its revival, he improved the situation for Soul Beasts and established the Spirit Transmission Pagoda to avoid wanton slaughter.

They spent their lives together, striving for the revival of the Soul Beasts.

…

The sixth life, Hu Liena.

This time, Qin Jian became the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

He did not go to flirt with Bibi Dong again, but instead wholeheartedly cherished the little fox for a lifetime.

He protected her as she inherited the Spirit Hall and became the Pope.

Seeing her look of contentment, Qin Jian also smiled and closed his eyes.

…

The seventh life, Qian Renxue.

Qin Jian became the Second Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

He started grooming her from a young age, taking the 10-year-old Qian Renxue, who had come to infiltrate, completely into his embrace.

In this life, Xue'er completely became the person he wanted her to be.

Qin Jian became the Heaven Dou Emperor, and Qian Renxue became the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

The two cooperated closely, ambushing Tang San in advance, plotting against Tang Hao, destroying the Clear Sky Sect, and becoming the only two rulers on the Dalu.

Qin Jian did not become a god, so Qian Renxue also gave up the Angel God Inheritance to grow old with him.

…

The eighth life, Bibi Dong.

Qin Jian was taken in as a personal disciple by Bibi Dong and became the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

Relying on his foresight, he dealt with Tang San and finished off Grandmaster.

In the end, he took his teacher into his arms.

Bibi Dong gave up the Rakshasa God Trial and indulged in a world for two.

A life without regrets.

…

The ninth life, Poseixi.

He was born very early, in the same era as his elder sister.

Thus, when Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu appeared, they encountered the interception of two level Limit Douluo, and they were a Limit Douluo couple who possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

As a result, they died on the spot…

Poseixi was indifferent by nature; upon learning that neither of them could become the Sea God, she settled down to be the High Priestess's wife on Sea God Island.

Apart from Qin Jian killing Tang San, who came to Sea God Island, in advance in his later years to prevent being forced into a Sacrifice, nothing else particularly happened.

A life that was plain and simple, yet devoid of regrets.

…

"Tap!"

The final step landed, and Qin Jian was already full of white hair.

"Hum hum hum!"

Nine scarlet Soul Rings illuminated the sky, even obscuring the setting sun.

Nine steps, nine hundred years, nine moments in reality.

Qin Jian completed nine lifetimes of life, letting go of the nine women most important to his life.

He looked up at the sky.

A breeze blew, and his white hair fluttered lightly.

"I fulfill you all…"

"You all also fulfill me…"

His voice was no longer hoarse, as if he had truly let go.

"There is one last step remaining for the completion of the Nine Trials…"

Qin Jian actually smiled: "Is it to truly break up with them face-to-face? That is fine too…"

"But before that…"

His gaze turned toward the south: "I must first resolve some matters, and… some gods."

With nine blood-colored Soul Rings on his body, although he had not become a god, his strength was comparable to a Third-level God.

Coupled with the power Na'er left him, he could fight a First-level God!

"Chi chi!"

The black and white intertwined Creation Power and Destruction Power rose from within his body, like a flame suddenly ignited, surging up instantly.

"Hum!"

A snow-white dragon horn took shape.

"Hum!"

A pitch-black dragon horn followed closely behind.

A milky-white ball of light enveloped his white hair, making it look no longer withered, but instead carrying a hint of vitality.

The effect of the Creation Power caused his withered hair to grow anew.

But the hair color remained snow-white and could not be restored.

Just like his state of mind, after severing the nine threads of emotion, it became indifferent and heartless.

"Swish!"

At the same time, the pitch-black Destruction Power manifested.

It dyed downward like ink, staining his robe and tight-fitting outfit a pitch-black color.

"Whoosh!"

The Martial Soul Sword appeared.

Creation Power and Destruction Power simultaneously wrapped around it.

"Sss, sss, sss..."

Slowly, nine silvery-white Swords appeared behind his head.

At the same time, pitch-black color swirled in Qin Jian's hand, transforming into a giant black sword.

The silvery-white Swords danced lightly, and the giant black sword was held in his hand.

"The current me, having undergone Fusion with Na'er's power..."

Qin Jian's body slowly floated up, murderous intent lingering in the depths of his eyes: "I wonder if I am able to..."

"Slaughter a god!"
