"We were born a hundred years ago. We are the souls of countless generals gathered together in the troubled times. We do not wish to harm the world."
"Don't want to hurt the world?" Upon hearing this, the tyrant raised his red eyes, as if he had heard some huge joke.
"If you don't want to hurt the world, why do you keep hiding in her body and affecting her thoughts? Don't you just want to occupy her body? Why? Now that she's dead, you still want her body?"
After he finished speaking, he hugged the woman in his arms even tighter.
He would not give her to them, even if it was her corpse, he would never let them defile her in the slightest.
"We did initially want to occupy her body and be reborn, but we didn't want this to happen. It was your endless greed that influenced us."
Just as the figure in the white light finished speaking, another figure appeared and spoke: "In our lifetime, each of us was a general who fought for our country on the battlefield. However, none of us ever saw the dawn of victory. We all died on the battlefield."
"It means being betrayed by a close confidant."
"He was murdered by a despicable villain."
"Beheaded by the very hands of the king I believed in."
In the white light, countless figures emerged, explaining why they died.
General A: "We have seen the ruthlessness and cruelty of war. Blood flows like rivers, corpses pile up like mountains, civilians are displaced, families are torn apart, and lives are lost."
General B: "Even though we have long since become dead souls, we still long to see peace in the world, for the people to live and work in peace. With this obsession in our hearts, we have transformed into Slaughter Spirits and returned to the world, seeking a king who can bring true peace to this world. Our power will be his or her greatest aid. This is the original intention of our birth as Slaughter Spirits."
General C: "But we were wrong. We died in our lifetime because of human nature. We were reborn as slain spirits, but we underestimated human nature. Human nature is even more greedy than we imagined."
General Ding: "One after another, despicable individuals with strong greedy desires came to us, and thus we committed a major taboo for a god born into the world."
"Murder?" Gong Shuquan on the side asked tentatively.
General Ding: "Yes, we killed a lot of people."
General A: "Those people deserve to die. They thought they could rule the world by getting us, but they never thought about being the master of the world. Do they really deserve it?"
Gong Shuquan said, "So this is why no one has truly used the Soul Slayer for their own benefit in the past hundred years? But what does this have to do with you possessing this woman?"
General Wu: "Although we are gods, we wholeheartedly wish to save humanity from disaster, but we have killed many. Especially after being exposed to the endless greed and desires of the world, we have also been influenced by those endless desires, and thus, we have given rise to evil thoughts."
General Ren: "Since we can't find a monarch who can save the world from disaster, why not let us become the monarch ourselves!"
General Gui: "We don't have a body, so we need a body."
Wanwan sniffed and said in a tearful voice, "So you came to find my mother?"
General A: "No, we initially just wanted to find a body, anyone would do, but we didn't expect that everyone we met had desires, big and small, which disgusted us. We despised such bodies."
General C: "Until we met Jiang Yi, the first time we saw her, we saw the pure soul in her. This is the person without greed and desire that we have been searching for. Only such a person's body is worthy of us."
General Geng: "What we didn't anticipate was that in order to obtain her body, we had to instil greed and desire in her, tainting her soul. Only then could we completely possess her body. But we didn't anticipate that such a pure soul would be too difficult to bewitch. We were trapped in her body, unable to harm her, and could only influence her bit by bit."
General A: "In the end, we were defeated. Over the past century, we have witnessed all kinds of greedy souls. Even we have been slowly influenced by the world and become the things we once hated the most.
It was the knife she had just used to end her life that awakened us, shattered the despicable desires that bound us deep in our hearts, and brought us back to the way we were when we were first born into the world, allowing us to understand that not everyone in this world is the same as we had encountered before."
"Perhaps we shouldn't have been born. It's our obsession with the mortal world that has led to the current situation. Those people may deserve to die, but we who caused all this seem even more deserving of death."
"Jiang Yi, we will not let her die. There are too few people like her in this world. She deserves to live."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless figures in the white light began to merge and converge, and finally turned into a slowly beating heart, falling into the body of Jiang Yi, who had already lost his life.
At the moment her heart dropped, a dazzling white light swept over her whole body.
The tyrant felt the warmth gradually returning to the woman's body.
Then everyone present held their breath and fixed their eyes on her face.
Under the burning gazes of the crowd, the woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
