"I'm sure! I want it!"

Lin Yi said firmly.

The next moment, he saw the eyes of the monkey head in the soul bubble light up.

Although the expression was still fierce.

It was obvious that the pair of lively eyes were already assessing Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took a deep breath.

Great Saint, you couldn't wait for your master, but you have me now!

"Since you insist, let it be as you wish."

"Monkey head, from now on you have a new master."

Lin Yi heard a trace of reluctance in Haotian's words.

Clearly, this billion-year wait.

He also needed to communicate with these Desolate God souls to dispel the loneliness.

Lin Yi felt his feet lighten.

The next moment, he felt himself floating up, then being drawn back into his body by a force.

Lin Yi opened his eyes.

He found that the elder who had been sitting cross-legged was now using a bone pen to draw the final stroke on the divine pattern on his chest.

Emperor Haotian's final stroke landed on the eye of the divine monkey pattern on Lin Yi's chest.

The next moment, the entire divine pattern burst into a seven-colored spiritual light!

Lin Yi felt a rush of soul power, as if opening up heaven and earth, pouring into his Spirit Platform Sea of Consciousness.

Then, behind Lin Yi, a majestic Five Finger Divine Mountain appeared.

The martial soul manifested, although it didn't look particularly powerful or domineering.

But Lin Yi was sure, this was definitely not the true form of his martial soul.

Opening the martial soul panel, Lin Yi was stunned.

No wonder Haotian said this martial soul was somewhat special...

It's too special!

[Monkey Mind]

[Type: Martial Soul]

[Quality: Mythical]

[Traits: Destructive Power: A+, Defense: SS, Endurance: D, Resistance: SSS+, Growth: ???]

[Resonating Attribute: Life Value +10%, Physical Defense +15%, Magic Resistance +15%, Attack Power +8%, Effect Resistance +10%]

[Initial Awakening Soul Skills: Grand Celestial Immortal Skill, ??? (Sealed), ??? (Sealed)…]

[Soul Skill Slots: 10]

[Innate Soul Artifact: Exists, but unlocked]

[Subsequent Learnable Soul Skills: None, this martial soul cannot learn other universal soul skills.]

Anyone who saw this panel would shake their head.

The traits alone would deter a lot of people.

Being a mythical-level martial soul.

The most important destructive power was only A+.

It's known that other SS-level martial souls often have a destructive power of S+ or above.

The endurance was practically non-existent.

The D rating is usually reserved for trash martial souls.

But Lin Yi knew.

The mystery lay in the growth attribute marked with question marks.

Never underestimate the growth attribute!

As for the soul skill slots.

This martial soul directly had 10.

But it happened to be a martial soul that couldn't learn other universal soul skills.

At first glance, it seemed contradictory, a piece of trash among trash.

But Lin Yi knew.

This only meant that the Monkey Mind martial soul inherently came with 10 soul skills.

It's just that they need to be unsealed to be revealed.

Now, what he needed to do was find a way to help it unseal and show its original power.

"Since you've chosen it as your first divine pattern, I hope you won't give up halfway."

"This is your choice."

Haotian gave Lin Yi a meaningful look.

Lin Yi felt a stir in his heart.

"Uh... give up halfway...?"

"Did someone else before...?"

The old Emperor nodded.

"Previously, when you were selecting a divine pattern, out of fairness, I didn't tell you everything about it."

"There were others like you before who chose it."

"Unfortunately, it seemed mediocre and was even suppressed under the mountain."

"Perhaps because it seemed more spirited than other Desolate God souls, someone chose it out of curiosity and took it away."

"But after a few years, that person returned through Reincarnation Tower and returned it."

"They would rather live their life without a divine pattern than take it to battle."

Lin Yi was stunned.

There was such a thing?!

But soon Lin Yi understood.

Given the Great Saint's traits, unlocking soul skills and refining an innate soul artifact would likely consume countless soul cores.

It's undoubtedly a resource black hole.

Moreover, with the Great Saint's nature, how could he be willing to lower himself to be a martial soul?

He was fortunate that he didn't rebel and retaliate.

"Kid, you're brave."

"Since you've heard my name, you still dare to choose me!"

"Now that you've chosen me, do you regret it?"

"Hmph! If you regret it, just let me go!"

"But if you dare hand me back to that old man, I'd rather shatter my soul than return to that wretched place!"

In his thoughts, a voice also appeared in Lin Yi's mind.

Then, an apparition appeared before Lin Yi.

The monkey head suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain stared intently at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi could feel it was distinctly resentful.

Perhaps he had once believed in the person who took him away from the Sky Tower.

Who knew that their trust would be betrayed, and that person returned him.

It's not easy for him to trust anyone again.

"I chose you, so I won't regret it."

"Great Saint, how do I unseal this seal? I don't believe in gods or Buddhas, and I haven't seen a spirit talisman on your Five Finger Mountain that can be removed."

The monkey head under the mountain spat: "How should I know!"

"I only know that the old Tathagata trapped me under this mountain, and Guanyin deceived me, saying that after five hundred years, a reincarnated Golden Cicada would save me, and I would take him as my master, protecting him."

"But I waited a thousand years, and no Golden Cicada came."

"Instead, the Three Realms Four Continents were destroyed, and the Six Dao Celestial Court fell."

"In the end, it was this strange old man who took my spirit out of that strange great world, then locked me up for thousands of years; I've had enough!"

Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

The Three Realms Four Continents destroyed, the Six Dao Celestial Court fallen?

The timeline seems off.

If the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds truly exist, then the Journey to the West World must be one of the large-scale worlds among them.

The hierarchy wouldn't be low either.

But now, it seems, it too faced disaster?

"If you want to break the seal and become stronger, you'll naturally need to feed on more Desolate God souls."

"Well, now you have a divine pattern."

"You need to decide."

"Will you enter the 0th layer to confront the remnant shadow of the Star-devouring Demon God, or leave now?"

The old Emperor's voice interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts.

And answered his question in passing.

Lin Yi asked blankly: "Why confront the Demon God remnant?"

Lin Yi's question left Haotian taken aback.

"Your guide didn't tell you anything, and you muddled your way into the Reincarnation Tower?"

In his mind, Lin Yi recalled Cheng Xiao's smugly squinted eyes and smiling face.

And the words that echoed in his ears—"I believe you should all understand, I won't be responsible for answering if you don't, you'll figure it out inside."

"My... guide wasn't very competent." Lin Yi gritted his teeth.

The old Emperor shook his head: "Very well, let me tell you then."

"I told you before that these four Reincarnation Towers were forged from the fallen celestial gates, and after the Demon God destroyed the celestial gate, his true form returned to the great world."

"But a sliver of his resentment remained from his palm strike."

"This wisp of resentment continues to interfere with the operation of all four Reincarnation Towers in Jiuzhou."

"Fortunately, although he is an Outer Realm Demon God, he is equally constrained by the Reincarnation Law."

"I eventually placed this Eastern Reincarnation Tower above the Sea Eye of Returning Ruins. By mining the special Earth Vein Ore produced within the sea eye, it can temporarily suppress it."

"But it's ultimately not a long-term solution."

"Therefore, I encourage every future person like you who enters this layer to try challenging and completely annihilating that wisp of resentment."

"Dealing damage to it weakens it, allowing more people to qualify for entry into the Reincarnation Tower."

"Meanwhile, based on the injuries you future individuals inflict on the Demon God's Hand's resentment, I'll have the sea eye servant proportionally distribute those discarded soul cores to you."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

Fighting the Demon God's resentment is of no interest to him if there were no benefits.

But now, to gain more soul cores, and help the human race strengthen and revive in the future,

he was interested!
