After Rayne returned to his dormitory, he saw Shui Xin'er greeting him with a sweet smile.
He ate the dishes made by his mother with gratitude.
As he was concentrating on training his spiritual power, a quest notification suddenly popped up.
[Ding! You have triggered an elite quest!]
[Task: Get a super soul ring for your mother!
Task Description: Your mother Shui Xin'er has reached level 80 and is in need of a soul ring.
As the mother of the 'honored one', she can't have an ordinary mediocre soul ring.
Get her a soul ring from a Great Beast of at least 300,000-years-old!
Task Requirements: The soul ring must be at least 300,000-years-old! The soul beast must have at least two matching attributes with Shui Xin'er!
Task Rewards: Gold Soul Coin Consumption 100x Rebate Coupon (x1), Two Soul Bones of the hunted soul beast with double it's original age.]
At this sudden quest, Rayne didn't have anything to say, other than that, it is unreasonable.
Even with the Sacred Evil-Cleansing Pill, Shui Xin'er has only recovered her physical fitness to the same level as an average peak Soul Saint.
With her current physical fitness and mental power, she can barely be able to absorb a 70,000-year-old soul ring as her eight soul ring. Even then, there is still some risks.
Now this system asks him to have Shui Xin'er absorb a soul ring of at least 300,000-years!
And it should also be a matching soul ring?!
Soul beasts with sacred attributes are without a doubt top soul beasts.
'Sigh! I was planning on having her absorb a normal water or life attribute soul ring, then increase the age of her soul rings after her physical fitness improves.'
Rayne sighed in his mind.
The soul ring's age isn't of much concern to Rayne, at least concerning his loved ones.
You know, for this sake, he had even left behind two Divine Test sites on Douluo continent. The kind with extravagant rewards.
After making up his mind to complete this task, he looked at Shui Xin'er cultivating the 'Soul Circulation Technique' that he gave her.
Because she already has seven soul rings, Shui Xin'er needs some time for the cultivation technique to adjust to her.
'Soul Circulation Technique'! This is a technique he created based on the Burning Technique from a certain Flame Emperor.
This isn't completely based on it, as the technique doesn't devour the soul rings, but only use them to further evolve.
Rayne observed her situation with his Six Eyes and couldn't help but frown.
Although he didn't want to admit it, his mother's comprehension ability doesn't seem to be great.
It turned to be worse than he expected.
From the speed at which Shui Xin'er's soul power is transforming into the energy of soul circulation technique…
'This won't do. At this rate, it will be years before she completes the adaptation to the new cultivation technique.'
'It can't be helped. Shortcut again.'
"Mom, come over here for a bit. I have something that can speed up your understanding of new cultivation technique."
Rayne called out to Shui Xin'er.
As soon as she heard him, Shui Xin'er walked over to Rayne and took him into her embrace.
Rayne thinks that she is even more clingier to him than in his fourth life (third simulated life).
"Rayne, I think I am doing pretty well, considering my original talent. There's no need to waste anymore precious resources. Save them for yourself and your sister."
Shui Xin'er said softly as she caressed his snow white hair.
Hearing this, Rayne just shrugged and explained.
"It's not a waste. I have plenty of resources, and besides, don't you want to be stronger, mom?"
Shui Xin'er shook her head and said, "I don't care about being stronger, as long as I am with you."
She looked at him with an ambiguous light in her eyes.
"Stop saying weird things, mom. Your words can be interpreted in a wrong way."
"How do you know that I didn't mean it that way?" Shui Xin'er said with a hint of teasing.
"…"
"Cough…"
Clearing his throat, Rayne said.
"Mom, do you know why Bibi Dong is respected and admired so much in the soul master world?"
"Because of her strength and status?" Shui Xin'er said doubtfully.
"That's right. But it's mostly due to her strength and identity."
"Identity?"
"Mom, in soul master world, there aren't many female soul masters at the pinnacle, the Title Douluo level. And because Bibi Dong, as a woman, being above many powerful men, both in terms of strength and status, makes her one of the most admired people of this age." Rayne said.
"So, Rayne wants mom to be the same?" Shui Xin'er asked.
"Well, pretty much." Rayne admitted.
"Mom, as a resident at Sky Water academy, you should already be aware that many female soul masters look up to Bibi Dong as their idol."
"Think about it, mom! If you too have strength and prestige of that level. Your future daughters-in-law will look at you with undisguised admiration! The strongest woman, the dignified and strong mother-in-law!"
Rayne said in an excited tone, intending to encourage Shui Xin'er.
Unfortunately…
"Daughters-in-law? Rayne… are you planning on becoming an emperor?"
Shui Xin'er's eyes lost the affection and smile they had, and had become calm and indifferent.
She questioned Rayne in a calm and emotionless tone.
"… No.."
"They why do you say daughters-in-law? Why the plural? Is it a slip of tongue?"
"…"
"Why don't you answer? Is it intentional or unintentional?"
Looking at the expressionless Shui Xin'er who was giving of dangerous vibe, Rayne felt that he should answer carefully.
Or, this woman might go crazy!
But!!
Rayne couldn't bring himself to lie or compromise about this! So, he looked directly at Shui Xin'er's eyes and said in a determined tone.
"Mother, I want a harem!"
"!!!"
Shui Xin'er's eyes widened in shock and stupor.
She had never heard such an audacious sentence until now. And she never expected to hear such a thing from her son, of all people.
No… Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.
Even before Rayne was sent to Nuoding academy, and before his awakening of previous life memories…
Rayne had liked to stick to beautiful girls and women. It's not just one woman.
He completely took advantage of his heavenly looks.
He had even seduced and fascinated the three little girls Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Huo Wu after meeting them. Even Huo Wu seems to run to Sky Water academy very often, under the pretense of sparring, just to meet Rayne.
She had always felt odd about Rayne's abnormal behavior, and even felt ashamed about his fickle nature at such a young age.
Now, Shui Xin'er seems to understand something. Maybe that behavior from Rayne… it was mostly likely some sort of resonance with his sealed memories.
Being affected by an absurd obsession!
Shui Xin'er felt somewhat angry and upset at this moment.
Suddenly, she felt that she shouldn't remain weak.
Otherwise she won't be able to restrain her son.
And deep down, she didn't want Rayne to be with another woman.
Till now, or maybe in the foreseen future, she would have been able to restrain her immoral desires about Rayne.
But after hearing about Rayne's Kāma seal's function of overwriting the existing DNA to that of the most superior DNA recorded in it, Shui Xin'er lost this inner restraint.
Since the DNA has been overwritten, then Rayne technically isn't her biological son anymore?
Thinking of this, and for her future, Shui Xin'er suddenly gained motivation to get stronger.
She looked Rayne's determined face as he was still blabbering on about wanting harem.
She resisted the urge to push him down, and said.
"Rayne, mother will become stronger for you! For us!"
Rayne raised his eyebrows in surprise, and was somewhat delighted at his mother's new motivation for strength.
No matter how you put it, in Douluo Continent, Strength is the highest status.
Although he felt a weird tone from Shui Xin'er when she said the words 'for you' and 'for us', he ignored it for now.
"Since mom is motivated now, then let's go to Ice Fire Yin Yang Well in a few days, after I help you completely integrate the soul circulation technique!"
"Ice Fire Yin Yang Well?" Shui Xin'er expressed her doubt.
"Well, it's a treasure land with a lot of spiritual energy and quite a few miraculous herbs. I owned it during my life as God of Contracts. And… that place has a very significant meaning to me."
"If it's a treasure land, wouldn't someone have occupied it after your absence?"
"It's fine mom! What's mine will always be mine!"
After explaining briefly about immortal herbs, Rayne asked Shui Xin'er to sit cross-legged. Then he went around and sat behind her.
He put both of his palm on her back.
"Mom, now try out the cultivation technique. I'll help you speed up the energy transformation process."
"Okay!"
After half a day, Rayne had helped Shui Xin'er completely transform her soul power into the soul circulation technique.
No, it shouldn't be called that anymore, since the technique has already evolved in accordance to her seven soul rings and martial soul, and became a new technique exclusive to her.
Although the energy transformation was complete, Shui Xin'er has fell into some kind of deep meditation state that might last for a dozen hours.
Thinking of Ah Yin and Xiao Wu staying outside, Rayne left to look for them after placing a few restrictions on his dormitory for Shui Xin'er's safety.
…
At the same time…
In the Divine Realm connected to Douluo Planet,
A meeting conference of high level gods such God Kings was about to happen.
