Nine months quietly passed amidst the ancient trees of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The once gentle ripples of life energy around the Life Lake had grown into towering waves of vitality, seeping into the very bones of the land.
In this haven, under the protection of Di Tian and other fierce beasts, two existences evolved rapidly toward their respective peaks.
Ah Yin, nourished by the Life Gold and the forest's blessings, had steadily cultivated and finally achieved Level 80, breaking through the Spirit Douluo barrier.
Her aura shifted profoundly — no longer just soft and nurturing, but laced with faint traces of wild dominance.
Beside her, the unshakable figure of Tang Hao had completed his own monumental transformation.
After unrelenting meditation atop the Life Gold platform, his soul power surged to Level 90 — officially stepping into the Title Douluo Realm.
However, as his ninth spirit ring remained unattached, his strength to the outside world appeared to be Level 89.This hidden trump card simmered beneath the surface — a concealed blade aimed at the throat of Spirit Hall.
Amidst this serenity, a gentle figure arrived, wrapped in emerald light.
Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan, one of the forest's revered healers, descended quietly upon the golden island.
Ah Yin, sensing her arrival, smiled warmly.
Bi Ji sat down beside her with a maternal air, her soft hand patting Ah Yin's swelling belly."You're almost there," she whispered, a smile lighting up her delicate features."But before that... you must be ready. Truly ready."
Ah Yin tilted her head, confused.
Bi Ji leaned closer, her emerald hair brushing against Ah Yin's golden strands."Your Martial Soul... it is on the verge of a breakthrough."
Under Bi Ji's gentle guidance, Ah Yin closed her eyes and sank her consciousness deep into her soul.
The Blue Silver Emperor spirit within her stirred — but it was different now.
From deep within, a golden surge erupted, reshaping and reforging her spirit.
Vines that were once slender and elegant became thick, indestructible chains, their surfaces engraved with ancient golden runes.
The Blue Silver Emperor evolved into the Blue Tyrant Overlord — a Martial Soul infused with the properties of Attack, Healing, and Control.
Where once Ah Yin belonged solely to the Control and Auxiliary Systems, now she stood equally within the Assault System's domain.
Power to protect.Power to destroy.
A divine balance few could ever hope to achieve.
Meanwhile, deep within a fetal consciousness, a different kind of transformation occurred.
A chime rang through Shiv's mind.
[ Ding! Invincible Comprehension System is now 90% online! Beta chatter mode initiated! ]
"Oi, System!" Shiv called out mentally, his tone lively."Besides making me handsome and awesome, what other tricks do you have hidden?"
The System chuckled — actually chuckled.
[ Heh. Tricks? Boy, I'm practically a one-man orchestra and DJ rolled into one! 🎵 ][ I have an integrated BGM and Music System! Any song you know, just say it, and I'll blast it out loud! Even enemies will be forced to vibe. ]
"Wait... you're telling me," Shiv said slowly, grinning wide, "I can drop Kaavaalaa or Shape of You mid-battle?"
[ Exactly! 💃🕺 The power of dance and music shall reign supreme! ][ Area coverage will depend on your strength... but guess what? First three times, you can pick ANY range! Even embarrass an entire battlefield if you want! ]
"System," Shiv said seriously, "you might just be my favorite thing in this universe."
[ Obviously. 🏆 ]
Then the System added more seriously:
[ Also... you have a Novice Gift waiting for you. ][ It's locked until you awaken your Martial Soul at age six. No peeking! 🎁 ]
Shiv groaned dramatically."You're telling me I have loot but it's sitting behind a timed paywall? This is the worst gacha system ever!"
[ Patience, young padawan. Good things come to those who wait! ✨ ]
Another screen flashed before his mental eye.

Shiv admired the panel, nodding wisely."I'm basically a limited edition collectible."
The System chimed happily:
[ Legendary-tier Shiv unlocked: coming soon to a continent near you! ]
And thus, amidst unseen preparations and silent storms gathering on the horizon, the seeds of an era-changing legend continued to grow... quietly... unstoppably.
