Chapter 31 Goal 4
The moment the applause rang out within the sea of consciousness, Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound originated at the same time.
Looking at the source of the applause, Tianmeng asked with some surprise, "Where did you come from... no, you're a remnant soul. What are you trying to do?"
When Tianmeng saw the situation there, his tone became noticeably hesitant, because he sensed that the other party's aura was very weak, yet it carried a mysterious power that he could not understand.
This left Tianmeng momentarily at a loss as to how to deal with that wisp of remnant soul.
Upon hearing this question, the other party merely glanced at Tianmeng and then said indifferently, "Don't be so rude, you big bug. 'Remnant soul' might indeed describe my current state, but I still have my own name."
As he spoke, he looked at Huo Yuhao and continued, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am the Undead Calamity, the Holy Law God of the Necromancers, Ilex. You can call me Elder Ilex, young friend."
Upon hearing the other party's self-introduction, Tianmeng was clearly shocked, and then an expression of excitement appeared on his face, after all, he had heard that the other party was some kind of Necromancer Saint God.
Although Tianmeng found the name of this Necromancer Saint God quite unfamiliar, it was still a god, and this would be of great help to her subsequent god-making plan.
At the same time, Tianmeng couldn't help but sigh that she was incredibly lucky. The wisp of remnant soul that had entered her body when she merged with the boy was actually a part of a god. She was so fortunate that she looked so excited.
However, upon seeing Tianmeng's state, Elder Yi simply said to her, "I come from another world, and my concept of gods may be different from here. But in my original world, I could become a true god of my world at any time if I wanted to."
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng's excited expression froze for a moment, and then she couldn't help but sigh, thinking to herself that creating a god was indeed not an easy task.
Old Yi didn't look at Tianmeng anymore, but instead looked at the young man beside him.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was not very surprised to see the person who appeared in his sea of consciousness, since he knew that a wisp of remnant soul had been there before.
So the young man simply said, "Hello, Elder Yi, may I ask when you woke up?"
In response, the figure that Elder Yi appeared with a faint smile on its face replied, "Actually, I had already regained consciousness while you were studying those soul-guiding arrays."
"To be honest, I have to thank the spiritual energy in your spiritual sea for nourishing you. According to the big bug, your spiritual energy is much stronger than that of your peers."
"Of course, the most important thing is that you were willing to let this spiritual energy nourish my remnant soul without any hindrance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to regain consciousness and communicate so quickly."
Hearing the other party keep calling him "big bug," Tianmeng felt very uncomfortable, even though he could feel the other party's powerful aura. He wanted to swear at them, but the boy next to him stopped him.
Upon hearing Elder Yi's words, the young man simply replied, "You're too kind. It's just some spiritual energy. I don't need much right now. Besides, I've personally experienced helping travelers who come alone from afar before, so I can understand their situation."
Although Huo Yuhao spoke so casually at this moment, since returning to Douluo Continent, in addition to cultivating his own soul power, he had also been cultivating his spiritual power. However, most of his spiritual power was absorbed by Elder Yi at that time.
This also resulted in Huo Yuhao's mental strength not increasing much during this period. Of course, as he said, at this time he didn't really need much mental strength; he was more focused on cultivating his soul power.
In response to the young man's answer, Elder Yi nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young friend. It is precisely because of this that we are able to have this conversation here."
"So, Mr. Yi, what was the purpose of your applause just now, or what do you want to talk to me about now that you're here?" the boy asked.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yi simply smiled and said, "When you were learning those soul-guiding arrays in the Sea of Spirit, I regained my consciousness and paid attention to this place. When I saw how you understood those soul-guiding arrays, I became curious."
"After all, that way of understanding, and the method it demonstrates, was something I had never encountered before, which really piqued my interest."
"Of course, I also heard that you had been to another world, and I also learned from you what happened to your body after you regained consciousness."
"Because I didn't have the time or the energy before to figure out why your body underwent such changes, I can't give you any answers right now."
"As for why I appeared at this time, after learning about your memories before you were eleven years old and seeing you come here to do these things, I was actually prepared to step in at a certain moment to help you calm down."
"I don't want you to be blinded by the rage of revenge, to let hatred cloud your vision, and to implicate many innocent people, causing them to make the same mistakes I did in the past."
"But now it seems I was overthinking it. You see things much more clearly than I did in the past. I've heard everything you just said."
"You did not give up revenge to choose so-called reconciliation; nor did you cling to the obsession with revenge and choose to achieve it by any means necessary; and you did not abandon yourself and everything around you for the sake of revenge."
"To be honest, after hearing what you just wanted to accomplish, I truly believe that the me who also chose revenge in the past didn't see things any more clearly than you do now."
"Looking back now, the situation I faced back then was actually more similar to yours. It's just that I burned away the superficial problems with my vengeful anger, shattered everything, but the fundamental problem that caused everything to happen was not completely resolved."
"Killing an emperor, destroying an empire, eliminating a pope... I personally killed all my enemies, but afterwards, with a single word and an order, I sent my parents and the whole family to the guillotine. I did not change the root cause of this problem."
"From top to bottom, there is a distinction between the noble and the lowly... Even though I was one of the few standing at the top before that incident, I truly felt how the system that runs all of this crushed me and my whole family."
"I didn't see these things clearly. I destroyed them, but I didn't truly change the problems. I only left behind a world full of devastation, which, when the next external danger arrives, will become..."
At this point, Elder Yi inevitably recalled the past. After listening to what Huo Yuhao had said before, he realized some of the problems. He hadn't really done what he was supposed to do back then, which led to the world becoming what it was like before his soul dissipated and he became this remnant soul.
Then, Elder Yi sighed silently before continuing, "Although I am still very weak and my strength has not recovered much, if I were to actually fight, I estimate that I would have to fall into a long slumber again after each battle."
"Even so, after hearing what you just said, young friend, even though showing up now will consume more of your power, I still want to applaud what you said."
