Ye Xun took the little boy's hand and quietly left the quiet village.

In the following days, Ye Xun often asked the little boy probing questions, trying to uncover the mystery in his heart.

"Little boy, what's your name?" Ye Xun asked gently.

The little boy was silent for a moment, as if he was lost in a whirlpool of memories.

Ye Xun took his time and tried to explore again: "Do you know what kind of martial spirit you possess?" The little boy remained silent, but his bright eyes flashed with determination and desire.

No matter how Ye Xun tried to persuade him, the little boy never spoke a word. He just held his hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would lose his support if he let go.

Finally, Ye Xun asked softly: "Do you desire power? Do you want to be a strong person that others admire?" At this moment, a fiery light burst out from the little boy's eyes, and he firmly uttered one word: "Yes!"

Ye Xun smiled slightly and continued to guide: "I know a place where your martial spirit can blossom and become stronger. Are you willing to go?"

The little boy nodded first, but then shook his head. He held Ye Xun's hand tightly, as if he was afraid of being abandoned.

Ye Xun understood his concerns and patiently explained: "I am not your mentor and cannot teach you directly. You are a top-level elemental spirit of the lightning system, and I am a weapon spirit. The place I send you to will be the cradle of your growth, and you should not miss it."

The little boy stared at Ye Xun intently, and finally asked: "If I succeed in my studies, will you come to pick me up?"

Ye Xun promised solemnly: "If you still want to find me after you become stronger, just go to Wuhun City and tell the people in Wuhun Hall that you are looking for Ye Xun. Oh, by the way, my name is Ye Xun."

The little boy nodded, his eyes sparkling with gratitude, and then he said softly: "Hello, Ye Xun. My name is Ji Lei."

Ye Xun smiled and nodded in praise: "Ji Lei, it's a good name that suits your martial spirit."

Ji Lei was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he slowly spoke: "When I was born, I was accompanied by thunder. My father named me Ji Lei, hoping that I could awaken a powerful martial soul and become a strong man in the world. However, the people in the village regarded me as a monster and a disaster. My parents left me and the villagers also drove me away..." When he said this, his voice choked and tears welled up in his eyes.

Ye Xun gently stroked Ji Lei's head and comforted him softly: "Xiao Lei, you are not a monster. You are gifted and your naturally awakened martial spirit makes it difficult for you to control it. You are a genius, not a monster. You just need to find a path that suits you, and you can shine your own light."

Ji Lei looked up at Ye Xun, with hope in his eyes: "Am I really not a monster? Am I a genius?" Ye Xun nodded firmly: "Yes, you are a genius."

After that, Ye Xun took out the token given by Thunder God from the storage ring and injected soul power into it. A black lightning streaked across the sky, and a space crack opened in front of Ye Xun. He held Ji Lei's hand tightly and stepped into the space crack without hesitation.

"Huh? You kid, you came back so quickly? Don't just find a random passerby to fool me." The voice of the Thunder God seemed to descend from the sky, full of pressure, but echoing in the empty space.

Ye Xun remained calm and responded confidently: "Luckily, I found an excellent thunder genius. What do you think? Are you interested?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of Thunder God suddenly appeared and landed in front of Ji Lei. He stared at Ji Lei with eyes wide open, his face full of shock, and blurted out: "Innate awakening! This..."

Seeing this, Ye Xun couldn't help but chuckle: "Old Lei, look, when have I ever been perfunctory to you? Since I left you, I have traveled all over the continent, just to find this successor for you as soon as possible."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Although he is young, less than six years old, he is gifted and rare." Lei Shen took a deep breath, suppressed his inner shock, and said, "Age is not a problem. Those who are born awakened have always only existed in legends. The earlier they awaken, the better their aptitude. When did he awaken?"

Ye Xun thought for a moment and said, "It seems... that I have been awakened since I was born."

Afterwards, Ye Xun told the story of Ji Lei's origin and deeds.

After hearing this, Lei Shen was filled with indescribable emotions and said in shock: "It is unbelievable that such a talent could appear in such a low-level plane as Douluo Continent."

Ye Xun asked curiously: "What is a low-level plane? Why is Douluo Continent classified as such?"

Lei Shen realized that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much, but facing Ye Xun's sharp gaze, he knew that he could not hide anything, so he told him frankly: "There are countless worlds and planes in the world. Douluo Continent is just one of them, and it is a low-level one. In this plane, even the ultimate strong God King may be just an insignificant person in a higher-level plane. In the higher planes, there are people who are young but their strength far exceeds mine. You will understand more details after you become a god."

The destiny in Ye Xun's mind was also filled with emotion at this moment: "My book friend is not lying to me. It turns out that the God King may really be a strong man at the peak of the Blood Moving Realm, hahahaha."

Ye Xun also asked curiously: "Brother, what is the level of your plane?"

Tianming pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't know much either. I only know that my world is full of people with system power. Every once in a while, they need to enter a world for training, select a host, and help it become the pinnacle of the plane. If the mission fails, my soul will be shattered. My predecessor died because of this, so my soul was transferred to him."

Ye Xun heard this and couldn't help but sweat for Tianming: "Brother, you need to be careful. You said that your predecessor's family was a top force. You must be careful and don't let anyone notice anything unusual."

Tianming smiled faintly: "I understand this. Even if my identity is exposed, I can always enter other worlds for refuge. I read novels and comics on all major platforms and know all kinds of worlds well. It is not difficult for me to enter a new world."

At this time, Thunder God spoke again: "Ye Xun, you really brought me a huge surprise this time. This child's purple lightning martial soul, in terms of quality alone, even surpasses my martial soul that has been awakened many times. I must give you a generous reward." He pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking hard.

Ye Xun took the opportunity to suggest: "Why don't you help me instantly upgrade to the physique of a million-year-old soul beast?" Lei Shen glanced at him and said disdainfully: "You think too highly of me. If I had this ability, wouldn't I prove my truth by force myself?"

Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, then said: "Then...how about you raise my soul power to level 99 peak Douluo?"

Lei Shen shook his head and said, "That's fine, but the soul ritual practice is just like the physical body, it needs to be polished bit by bit. If I forcibly increase your soul power at this time, it will cause your foundation to be unstable and it will be difficult to prove the truth with force."

Ye Xun was helpless: "In that case, what kind of reward can you give me?" Lei Shen thought for a long time, and finally said: "How about this, I will upgrade all your existing spirit rings to the 100,000-year level, and send you to a secret realm containing the inheritance of God. As for whether to accept the inheritance, it is entirely up to you to decide."

Ye Xun asked in confusion: "Old Lei, you know that I am determined to prove my truth with strength and should not accept the inheritance of God, but you still sent me to the place where God's inheritance is?"

Lei Shen smiled and said, "You just need to go and experience it. If you feel it is suitable, accept it, otherwise just refuse it. This inheritance of God is extremely rare. Several ancient gods have fallen in it. As for whether you can resist its temptation, it depends on your luck."
