After trapping the parasitic soul possessing Night Owl's consciousness within an illusion, Wang Han examined Night Owl's body once more. Wang Han had played with him for so long not only to obtain information, but also to see what abilities he possessed and whether they were suitable for him.
From the moment Wang Han learned of the attributes of these parasitic souls, he had been eagerly anticipating their growth. After all, his own soul was a weak point. Although protected by an external cheat, remaining unharmed and unaffected, his soul abilities were limited and his total capacity was small. Therefore, Wang Han had always wanted to steal certain abilities and soul energy from the parasitic souls for his own use. If it weren't for his fondness for this planet, Wang Han would have even allowed them to slaughter indiscriminately, only to reap the rewards later. If it weren't for his prior agreement with the planet's will, as long as they weren't in China, Wang Han wouldn't have interfered, even if they wreaked havoc; he would have been pleased, as his gains would have increased.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Wang Han had made a deal with the planet's will first, so he had no choice but to contribute. He also couldn't bear to refuse the conditions offered by the planet's will.
However, after seeing the Night Owl today and witnessing the ability of these parasitic souls to fuse, Wang Han felt he no longer needed to wait; it was time to reap the rewards. Previously, Wang Han hadn't known these parasitic souls could fuse into one, so his plan was to kill until only a handful remained before harvesting, at which point the parasitic souls would be strong enough for a more effective harvest.
While having only a handful of parasitic souls left is a major problem, that's only if Wang Han doesn't instantly kill them. He's worried that an intense battle would have too much of an impact on the world, even causing irreparable damage, which is why he finds it troublesome. However, if Wang Han truly wanted to kill them instantly, he could easily defeat not only these parasitic souls but even a saint like himself, since Wang Han, with his cheat-like abilities, excels at instant kills.
Wang Han now has a new plan that saves time and effort.

After thinking it over, Wang Han continued to look at the owl's body, which had lost control of its consciousness. Before reaping the rewards, he could first get a taste of the spoils. Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Wang Han began to meticulously steal from the owl's body.
One by one, Wang Han took the energy balls out of the owl's body. He would carefully examine each energy ball with his identification tool before putting it into his backpack space to store. Even if he didn't need it himself, it would be a good choice for his pet in the future.
Energy assimilation can convert other types of energy into its own kind; it is ineffective against energies with a large mass difference or those that are aggressively predatory.
"The attributes are not bad." Wang Han casually slapped the power ball into his body. "However, although Night Owl assimilated my energy, he didn't dare to absorb it. He's probably afraid that I'll tamper with the energy like he did. It seems that I can't assimilate other people's energy casually in the future, especially those powerful people who can travel through worlds. Energy with the same assimilation attribute should also be competitive."
'Creation.' Wang Han stole another energy ball from the Night Owl's body. Looking at the transparent energy ball in his hand, he stopped. It was a skill ball; the identification screen displayed its basic information. This information astonished Wang Han: 'Creation, injecting special soul energy containing a portion of consciousness into a living being, using the being's physical body to create life.'
"This is how parasitic souls appeared within my body. Not only can they create energy bodies, but they can even create life." Looking at the energy ball in his hand, Wang Han smiled with satisfaction. This skill was extraordinary. In Wang Han's hands, combined with the evolution cheat, its effects would be far greater. Moreover, it was a resurrection ability; even if he couldn't use it himself, he could give it to others. The only difference was that these parasitic souls were in an energy state, with unique characteristics, and didn't care about the physical body.
Wang Han once again casually slapped the skill ball into his body.
'Killing and Causation.' Wang Han took out another red orb from the Night Owl's body. Unfortunately, according to the identification, the orb only had four words.
"It must be a method for parasitic souls to become stronger; it really is related to cause and effect," Wang Han frowned, guessing. The identified information was too limited, only a name.
"Identification cheat." This time, Wang Han used the identification cheat on his own initiative. After expending a lot of energy, the information in the red orb in his hand finally became detailed.
'The law of cause and effect: Killing incurs karmic burdens; this is cause and effect. The intersection and interaction of the law of killing and the law of cause and effect allows one to absorb the karmic burdens generated by killing, transforming them into nourishment to enhance one's strength, while simultaneously eliminating one's own karma.'
"This ability is extraordinary!" Looking at the energy ball in his hand, Wang Han realized it was a power that allowed him to rapidly increase his strength, much like leveling up in a game. However, after much deliberation and hesitation, he finally tossed it into his backpack. Wang Han still lacked the courage to use it. If he couldn't control his impulses, he feared he might become a ruthless killer like the Parasitic Soul. Moreover, Wang Han wasn't sure if this powerful ability had any other drawbacks.
Next, Wang Han took out four or five light orbs from the Night Owl's body. However, compared to the first three power orbs, the rest were not so remarkable. Only a ball of pure soul energy had some effect on Wang Han. However, Wang Han did not use this ball of soul energy directly. Instead, he stole it more meticulously, specifically stealing completely pure soul energy before absorbing it into his body to strengthen his soul.
Wang Han then attempted to steal the will of the parasitic soul, which was under his illusionary control, but only obtained a useless memory before the will of the parasitic soul disappeared (this was the condition Wang Han used to steal the will of the parasitic soul). Perhaps the memory contained a lot of information, but Wang Han scoffed at it, clenched his fist and crushed it, even burning it to ashes with blazing white flames.

"What exactly happened over there? What were those two terrifying auras that appeared just now? One of them disappeared, is it dead?" Hundreds of kilometers away from where Wang Han and the Parasitic Soul were fighting, Gai Nie, Donghuang Taiyi and other experts stood together, looking in the direction where Wang Han and the Parasitic Soul were fighting.
"The waters here run deep!" Wei Zhuang shook his head. "Here, without strength, you can't expect anything."
"From now on, I must claim a place here." Shao Yu clenched his fist, a new goal forming in his mind. He felt utterly resentful of being as insignificant as an ant.
"When I have the strength, I will definitely travel all over this place," Tianming said from his heart.
