Chapter 3

In the room, Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, his fists clenched tightly.

Strength!

In this world, everything is ruled by strength.

Only those with great strength can have absolute authority.

"If I were strong, how could Wang Ning and that Liu guy dare to speak to me like that?"

"But now, in others' eyes, I not only lack strength but also lack the potential to grow."

Lin Yan took a deep breath. Although he was extremely angry, he quickly calmed down and gave a self-mocking smile.

A moment later, his mind stirred, and he summoned his soul once again.

As before, when the coffin appeared, black mist began to rise.

And as the black mist rose, a sinister and terrifying aura slowly spread.

Lin Yan stared at the coffin for a while, about to open the lid to see inside, but before he could make a move, he saw the lid float up on its own.

"What's happening?"

Lin Yan was startled and quickly retreated, looking at the coffin with fear.

In the next instant, under his gaze, a large amount of black mist surged out from the coffin, completely blocking his view.

Fortunately, this black mist had no offensive power, so he was not in any danger.

As the black mist gradually dissipated, his eyes widened to their maximum.

"Who... who are you? Why are you inside my soul?"

Ye Tian looked at the figure hovering above the coffin with extreme shock.

This figure was a woman, dressed in black, ethereal and divine, standing proudly as if a celestial maiden had descended, making one dare not look directly at her.

Although she made no movements, her black robe fluttered without wind, her long hair cascaded down, her black robe like a flower, her skin whiter than snow, incomparably beautiful, elegant, and noble.

The woman's aura was truly captivating, even to Lin Yan.

"The Reincarnation Decision has indeed allowed my soul to be reborn."

The woman in black did not immediately pay attention to Lin Yan but murmured softly.

Then, her gaze slowly shifted to Lin Yan, and she asked, "Where is this place?"

Sigh!

Lin Yan's body trembled, and he couldn't help but draw a cold breath, immediately snapping out of his captivated state.

"This is the Great Feng Dynasty. You, why are you inside my soul?" Lin Yan looked at the woman in black on the coffin with caution.

Although the woman in black was indeed a beauty, more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen, he could sense an extremely terrifying aura from her, as if she could erase him with a mere thought.

"Great Feng Dynasty? Which continent is it on?" The woman in black asked with an unchanged expression.

"Which continent?" Lin Yan was taken aback and said, "Apart from the Tianwu Continent, are there any other continents?"

"Tianwu Continent..."

The woman in black did not pay attention to Lin Yan's surprise. Her willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said to herself, "It seems I have left the place I was in before. Well, since my soul has been reborn, it means there is still a chance to start over. The most urgent task now is to restore my soul's power."

After saying this, the woman in black's beautiful eyes focused, and she said, "My name is Gong Qianxue. What's yours?"

"Lin Yan."

Lin Yan asked again, "Why are you inside my soul?"

"I performed the Reincarnation Decision. For my soul to be reborn, it must be reborn within the soul of the Life and Death Coffin. You happened to awaken the soul of the Life and Death Coffin, so my soul was reborn inside yours." Gong Qianxue said in a clear and ethereal voice.

"Reborn?" Lin Yan was somewhat stunned, looking at Gong Qianxue with doubt. He knew that souls existed, but rebirth...

When a person dies, isn't everything gone? How can one be reborn?

Noticing Lin Yan's doubtful gaze, Gong Qianxue was not bothered and said indifferently, "You don't need to doubt anything. With your cultivation as a third-rank warrior, I could kill you right now if I wanted to."

"Cough..."

Lin Yan coughed awkwardly. Indeed, with his third-rank warrior cultivation, he was at the very bottom, and any powerful person could easily erase him.

This Gong Qianxue, although she had not released her aura, Lin Yan could feel that she was very dangerous, likely more powerful than Lin Peng.

Therefore, if Gong Qianxue had any ill intentions, telling Lin Peng would be useless and might even endanger him and the entire Lin family.

"Let's cooperate. I can help you become strong quickly, and you just need to help me find something to restore my soul. How about it?" Gong Qianxue asked.

"Help me become strong quickly?"

Lin Yan laughed bitterly and said, "The soul I awakened is called a 'waste soul,' proving that my talent is poor. How can you help me?"

"Waste soul?"

Gong Qianxue almost laughed at Lin Yan, looking at him as if he were an idiot, and said, "Didn't I just tell you that your soul is called the Life and Death Coffin? Don't you know what the Life and Death Coffin means?"

"What does it mean?" Lin Yan asked with a blank look. He had not really paid attention to the words "Life and Death Coffin" before, only focusing on the part about rebirth.

Seeing Lin Yan's blank expression, Gong Qianxue was slightly taken aback, then her gaze swept the room, and she said, "It's understandable. This is no longer the place it used to be, so it's normal that you haven't heard of the Life and Death Coffin."

"Let me explain it this way: the types of souls awakened by cultivators are countless, but some variant souls are extremely powerful. Among these variant souls, the top ten ancient souls are the most powerful, and the Life and Death Coffin is one of them."

Gong Qianxue explained, "Those who possess one of the top ten ancient souls, once they grow, will have the power to reach the heavens and the earth. A single thought can destroy a dynasty."

"And the Life and Death Coffin you possess is the most mysterious among the top ten ancient souls. The legend of the Life and Death Coffin can be summarized in six words."

"These six words are: 'One thought to live, one thought to die.'"

"The top ten ancient souls, the Life and Death Coffin, one thought to live, one thought to die..."

Lin Yan muttered to himself, his eyes gradually showing a sense of shock.

But ultimately, he could not imagine the power of being able to destroy a dynasty with a single thought, nor could he fully grasp the meaning of the six words, "one thought to live, one thought to die."

Now, he only wanted to grow quickly, at least to defeat Liu Yuan, divorce Wang Ning in front of everyone, and kill Chen Fanti of the Yuan Yang Sect to restore his father's honor, as well as help his sister, Lin Xuer, with her physical condition.
