Chapter 129 Obatias's Past
With the building materials and furniture, everyone had work to do and was too busy to look for Jiang Changyi in the short term.
So Jiang Changyi, who had some free time, went to find Obatias and prepared to fulfill the previous agreement.
They had previously agreed that once Jiang Changyi had mastered the art of mental illusion, they would go to the Forging Martial World to help Obatias find a way to break free from the seal.
"Are you really going? Humph, I thought you were just talking." Obatias' voice sounded like heavy metal music as always.
Jiang Changyi: "I said I would help you, and I will definitely help you, don't worry."
Although Jiang Changyi's current strength is just a small scum in the world of martial arts, and anyone can kill him, the death of the mental phantom will not affect the real body, it will only cause a loss of a little energy.
You may not find hope by going there, but there will definitely be no hope if you don’t go.
Obatias had no physical form, and Jiang Changyi could not see his expression. He only heard him hum deeply.
Zong Qiong, who was originally studying with Obatias, watched indifferently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Changyi flipped through the memories left by the inheritor Jilan deep in his mind, found the art of reverse summoning, and then created a mental phantom clone and used the art of reverse summoning.
When Jiang Changyi saw another self disappear in front of him, he knew that the reverse summoning technique was successful.
After taking a final look at the silent Obatias, Jiang Changyi began to concentrate on controlling his mental phantom clone.
…
"hiss……"
This is a place with very low temperatures.
Jiang Changyi hesitated for a moment and began to look around the place.
This place seems to be inside a cave, but the surrounding stones are all white. It seems that this is the white jade mine that Obatias often talked about, which is also the building material used to build the white jade palace in the contract space.
But...isn't this too much?
Isn’t it said that white jade ore is a very rare ore?
Why is there white jade ore everywhere here?
"No... the temperature is too low, I can't hold on any longer..."
Not long after, the spiritual phantom was frozen to death, and Jiang Changyi's consciousness returned to his body.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you were imprisoned? That place doesn't look like a prison cell."
Obatias remained silent, but Zong Qiong next to him looked like he wanted to say something.
"Don't you realize it yet? If he was truly sealed, how could he be summoned by you?"
Jiang Changyi was puzzled: "What does this mean?"
Zong Qiong: "What this means is that he wasn't sealed, nor was he imprisoned. He...has always been like this."
"What do you mean...it's always been like this?" Jiang Changyi became even more confused.
Zong Qiong looked at Obatias: "Why, you still don't plan to tell him the truth?"
"Hmph..." After hearing what Zong Qiong said, Obatias finally felt like speaking. "Zong Qiong's guess was correct. I'm indeed not sealed or imprisoned."
"I am a spirit of an artifact, or rather... I am just a remnant soul with an obsession that has not yet subsided."
Hearing Obatias' words, Zong Qiong's expression did not seem very surprised, as if he had expected it.
But Jiang Changyi was different. He was completely shocked.
"Weapon spirit? Remnant soul? What do you mean...Aren't you a human?"
Zong Qiong smiled and asked Jiang Changyi, "Have you ever seen a human being live for hundreds of millions of years?"
"Even though there are infinite possibilities in an infinite number of planes, the scale of life remains a difficult proposition to crack."
"Based on various clues, he can't possibly be human."
After listening to Zong Qiong's reasoning, Obatias sighed and took them back to history thousands of years ago in a dull voice.
In fact, when Obatias used Lothea's evil creature to pierce the world of martial arts, he had already died due to exhaustion of his spirit, leaving behind only the powerful divine weapon "Immaculate Love" and a lingering soul.
During the endless years, Obatias stayed silently in the deep hole left after the Forge World was pierced.
Until it heard Jiang Changyi's call.
Since there was no sacrifice, Jiang Changyi's call did not attract anyone's attention, but it caught the attention of Obatias.
Sometimes, an exchange that requires nothing in return is more terrifying than any request.
But Obatias was not an evil god. He did not ask Jiang Changyi to pay any unbearable price. He just wanted to... experience human emotions again.
When he came into this world and regained his emotions, the surging heat in his chest made him feel the long-lost reality.
He felt love and hate again, but thousands of years passed and it seemed as if everything had become a thing of the past.
Later, Jiang Changyi asked him to return his sensibility to him, and he agreed without much hesitation.
Because I have tasted the strongest wine in the world and seen the most beautiful scenery in the world, I have no regrets anymore.
"Then..." Jiang Changyi tried hard to digest this information, trying to understand what kind of existence Obatias is now.
"Are you yourself now, or are you Obatias?"
Obatias and Zong Qiong exchanged a puzzled look before saying, "I am your contract partner."
It was Zong Qiong who explained to Jiang Changyi: "Don't dwell on the question 'Who am I?' There is no answer to this question."
"Let's focus on solving the problem. His residual soul needs a body, otherwise it will always be just a residual soul."
"Okay." Jiang Changyi admitted that what Zong Qiong said made sense, "But where can I get him a body?"
"My suggestion is to look for the answer in the underworld." Zong Qiong snapped his fingers. "You can choose your next contract partner from the underworld. Maybe you can find someone powerful enough to achieve something like resurrection."
As a scholar, Zong Qiong's understanding of various information far exceeds Jiang Changyi's, so the advice he gives is also very useful.
"Okay, I understand."
Although the process was a little different from what I had imagined, the agreement with Obatias was half completed.
The next thing to do is to go out and hunt monsters to obtain magic crystals. The operation of the contract space requires energy, and the more powerful contract objects also need magic crystals, so the more magic crystals you save, the better.
Now everyone is busy building houses, and only Liu Yunya has time to go hunting with him.
Since Liu Yunya tamed the fifth-level awakening Flame Dragon, he has now become one of the team's front-line fighters, and his hard power is fully capable of keeping up.
In theory, if Jiang Changyi wanted to be tough and reject the East German base, he might not lose even if a fight broke out, but he didn't want to start an internal fight among humans, and he was too lazy to compete with others.
