However, the rebirth fruit of King Qin Guang played a crucial role in saving Wu Shi's life.
I still have to keep my promise to King Qin Guang, but this time, the opponent is the soul of one of the Four Fiends.
Although it is not yet fully formed, it is better to be on the safe side. It seems that it is time to go and find that unborn demon soul.
I've heard Shi Jiu say that the place is not accessible to ordinary people, and I think the time has come to awaken him.
After a day and a night of rest, my spirits have recovered considerably, and it's time to set off to find the Demon Soul.
This time, I didn't choose to go alone, but brought Wu Shi with me. There were some things I didn't want to hide from him anymore.
When night fell, I summoned Shi Jiu.
Shi Jiu knelt down on one knee in front of me: "Your Majesty, you have returned."
I understood exactly what Shi Jiu was talking about. He was probably referring to the demonic energy on my body, since my aura was quite different from before.
Now I am surrounded by demonic energy, and my power is stronger than ever before. All of this comes from another version of myself in the demon realm.
Clearly, Shi Jiu had seen another version of me many years ago, and I also recovered many fragments of my memories.
Although it may seem unreal, it truly belongs to my memories.
There are still many fragments of memories that I haven't been able to piece together. Right now, the demonic energy in my body is extremely unstable, making it impossible to piece together all the fragments of memories.
"Yes, I think I'm back."
"However, I feel that the demonic energy in my body is not stable enough, and I have called you here today because there is something important."
"To tell you the truth, I promised King Qin Guang that I would do something for him. The soul of a ferocious beast from the underworld has escaped to the mortal world and its whereabouts are still unknown."
"Although I am currently imbued with demonic energy, with my current strength, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to successfully capture the soul of the ferocious beast."
"So I want to meet that demon soul you mentioned last time."
Shi Jiu's expression was very calm, as if he had guessed what I wanted to do:
"Your Majesty understands..."
However, Shi Jiu clearly had something he wanted to say to me, but he still didn't say it.
I glanced at Wu Shi beside me, but ultimately decided not to let him leave.
"Shi Jiu, just say what you have to say here."
This time I was very firm in my attitude, almost in a commanding tone.
Only in this way could Shi Jiu tell this story without reservation.
Shi Jiu glanced at Wu Shi, then turned and bowed to me:
"To be honest, Your Majesty, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."
"After you obtained demonic energy, you were no longer an ordinary human being. In other words, your lifespan is almost as high as the sky and as wide as the earth."
"I think you already understand what I'm about to say. Have you really thought this through?"
Actually, I had already guessed this myself. Ever since I withstood the drought demon's attack, I realized that I was no longer an ordinary person.
I just didn't expect Shi Jiu to say something so mysterious.
"You mean to say that with my current lifespan, I might be immortal, but I insist on staying with humans, right?"
"However, Shi Jiu, I am originally a human, and it is impossible for a human to be perfect in everything."
Shi Jiu smiled slightly: "It seems that Your Majesty's realm has reached a higher level. Your achievements will surpass those of your subject sooner or later."
Wu Shi looked at us quietly without saying much.
"Now that Your Majesty is ready, let's set off."
Wu Shi and I followed Shi Jiu to a lakeside. Shi Jiu activated the array on the lake surface, extending a passage from the water's surface to the bottom of the lake.
At the bottom of the dim lake, however, lies a completely different scene.
We followed in Shi Jiu's footsteps, traversing the intricate passageways.
The walls were cold and damp, with occasional drops of water falling from above and echoing as they hit the ground.
An indescribable aura filled the air, and I felt my strength being drained away.
Corpse Nine seemed to know everything about this place. I observed the surrounding environment but couldn't guess how this place was formed.
Suddenly, Corpse Nine stopped, turned around and said to me, "Your Majesty, we have arrived."
"You should have felt it too, right? This place causes a loss of power."
"Originally, I did not recommend that you bring Lord Wu Shi along, since his physical strength might be weaker than that of this place."
I turned to look at Wu Shi: "How are you feeling? Something's not quite right here."
Wu Shi waved his hand: "I have various medications to maintain my health. Although my physical strength is average, my resistance is quite strong."
I observed him for a while, still a little worried, and found that, just as Wu Shi had said, his body had strong resistance and was also inhibited by this environment.
Seeing that Wu Shi seemed normal, I felt relieved.
Directly in front of us was a tightly closed stone door, covered in moss, which must have been caused by the damp environment.
Shi Jiu stepped forward and forcefully pushed open the stone door. As the door opened, a chilling air rushed out.
Stepping into the space behind the stone gate, one finds a huge cave with a stone platform in the center, upon which a lamp is lit.
I was stunned when I saw the lamp. The flame on it was the color of demonic energy and it seemed that it would never be extinguished.
“Your Majesty, that is your guardian spirit in the Demon Realm.”
The Corpse King pointed to the lamp and said to me.
As I approached, I saw a blurry shadow moving inside the lamp wick, as if it were echoing my own aura.
