Mu Suyin's gaze fell onto Myah's childish face.
For a moment, the corner of her eyelids twitched, and her body shook.
'This... is this also a coincidence!? It should be...' She was in doubt.
Why would Myah ask her such a question when he was asleep throughout the entire event three days ago?
Surely it couldn't be that he heard it from the village chief and only ask her now since he has become an official Warrior, right?
There was nothing out of the ordinary.
After all, she has boasted to Myah about the awesomeness of the spear many times, and it wouldn't be strange for him to ask the village chief about it, which leads to the discussion of the Spear Soul.
'So it's like that, no wonder. I'm really overthinking about such a simple thing.' The more Mu Suyin thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense.
However, on second thought, she wondered how good it would be if such opportunities belonged to little Myah.
After all, a newly-born Spear Soul wasn't known for its power, but for the untold grown potential, it represents!
Reminiscing about the time when she would no doubt give up anything to get the slim opportunity to fight for a Spear Soul, Mu Suyin couldn't help but sigh.
"Myah, are you curious?" Looking at him enjoying the last bits of soup in the bowl, she asked.
"Yes, I very much want to know. Grandma, can you tell me?"
"Well..." After taking a moment to organize her thoughts, Mu Suyin began her short lecture.
She began adjusting her voice and spoke in a charismatic and rhymed tone which fully occupied little Myah's attention.

In the Green-Wood Divine Continent, many legends and myths were passed down for so long through generations after generations that one couldn't even remember their origin.
Then, there was a particular tale,
It was said that more than tens of thousands of years ago, there was a clan of Divine Smith that was highly regarded and most respected within the depth of the inner region of the continent.
They created the majority of the most powerful weapon in the world, something that could arouse the excitement and greed of anyone.
Furthermore, they possessed the gift to forge the highest quality of equipment and the ability to give life to their weapon in a short time and armed themself for battle.
One day, however, the desires, greed, and selfishness of men couldn't be satisfied.
Be it old to young, men or women.
All the smiths were wiped out overnight without a thread of mercy!
Their blueprints and legacy that have been accumulated and passed down from ancient times were plundered and destroyed...
Among them,
Their fallen leader, Lucius, who was once revered as the greatest Smith underneath the Heaven, rises from the depth of hell after going through endless torments.
"The sky, earth, and grasses..."
"Everything is red."
"This place... All that remains here now is death."
"...They are all dead."
Lucius was baffled by losing his wife, children, clan members, and finally, himself!
As the demonized Lucius listened to the cries of familiar hurtful souls lingering underneath the layer of red soils that he once called 'home,' he impaled a gigantic stone stele in front of their graves which he then inscribed with seven startling words.
"I WILL ENSHROUD THE WORLD IN DARKNESS!"
Many years later, Lucius stayed true to his oath of vengeance and forged the most dreaded weapon of all,
Using its earth-shattering and world-ending heavenly phenomena, Lucius managed to attract the attention of his old enemies and gathered them into one place.
While his adversaries were startled by the familiar figures they once thought were dead—the demonized Lucius, who has long broken his beliefs and is consumed by rages and desolations, laughed toward the sky.
"Too bad, had I but lived to see another day so that I could witness your destruction..." With a tear of grievance, he let out a thunderous roar toward Heaven, which people still remembered for generations.
"BURNS IN THE FLAME OF MY VENGEANCE!"
Taking the chance before The Sword of Apocalypse entirely devoured his soul to complete its transformation and give birth to the Sword Soul, Lucious shows a hint of a smile before slashing toward the empty void with his last bit of strength.
The dazzling sword ray opened the gate toward the
As the sealed Ancient Monsters and Devils once again walked on the continent. It leads to an all-out war that raged on for more than hundreds of years before putting an end to a once prosperous era.
Later,
Some said the blazed destruction had destroyed the Sword of Apocalypse in the remnants of that world-ending battle.
In contrast, a few assumed that it was lost and buried under the ashes of war, waiting to be awoken by another vengeful soul.
Although Lucious wasn't the strongest of cultivators, many recognized him for his feat of almost dooming all life on the continent.
Even to this day, people remembered him by the title

The scene changed.
...
Half an hour later,
As the short story ends, Mu Suyin also gives a finishing touch to Myah's long silvery hair, a beautiful pull-through braid.
"Legends have it that even those who weren't gifted in the way of the spear could rise to become an exceptional genius when they obtained a Spear Soul. Their road would be much smoother than others."
Seeing that Myah was in a trance, Mu Suyin smiled before she tickled him on the side and asked. "What? Are you still listening?"
"Hahahaha, yes. I'm listening!" Wiggling his body, Myah struggles to defend himself from her clutches.
But alas, all his effort was rendered useless as boisterous waves of laughter echoed from the kitchen.
"Well, you go ahead and go outside first. Grandma will have to clean up the dishes." After a while, Mu Suyin released him and said.
"Also, since you have already become a One-star Warrior, we will go and find you a suitable Spirit Beast to be your War Soul companion." Although Mu Suyin said that, she already has a few fitting choices formed on her mind.
