At this moment, not to mention Ye Chen, even the previously relaxed Zhulong opened its eyes again, looking at the place where the soul power was gathering with a puzzled expression.
In his perception, the other party's soul should have completely dissipated, and even the soul essence should have turned into pure soul energy. There should be no possibility of resurrection. In fact, the flame of civilization and bloodline crystals within the siphon soul had already condensed.
"What's going on?" Ye Chen wondered, looking at the soul energy that was constantly gathering in front of the Yama's Palace.
However, as a large amount of soul energy gathered, a girl dressed in a flowing, elegant dress gradually appeared before him and Zhulong. The soul's body gradually solidified from its initial illusory state, eventually becoming indistinguishable from an ordinary girl.
"No, the excessively dense soul energy gave birth to a new soul?" Ye Chen immediately understood. What was Fengdu City? It was a ghost city! It was also a den of kin.
After killing the Siphon Soul, a large amount of soul energy was obtained in one go, which Fengdu City could not digest quickly in a short time. Therefore, it was used to create a new ghost. And judging from this, this new ghost should be extraordinary.
"My lord, the energy in the territory is enormous, and the reason is unknown!" Ye Xi suddenly walked over and said with a hint of anxiety.
"No problem, just make sure the energy furnace is full. This means Fengdu City is about to advance!" Ye Chen said with a hint of joy.
Hearing this, Ye Xi was taken aback, but quickly understood. Without saying anything more, he turned around and continued to stare at the energy furnace.
As a lord's level increases, upgrading a clan's lair is no longer an easy task, but rather comes with enormous energy consumption. The higher the level of the clan's lair, the greater this consumption becomes, which is a problem that some lower-level lords cannot experience.
Fortunately, Ye Chen's territory has many high-level nests, which can mutually replenish each other. Therefore, the strength of the energy furnace is sufficient to support it. However, no one expected that after killing a mid-stage seventh-tier dark god and absorbing the other party's soul energy, Fengdu City would advance so quickly.
However, before Fengdu City could complete its advancement, the girl in front of the Yama Palace had already materialized and was slowly opening her eyes, looking around with a puzzled expression.
Name: Unnamed
Race: Oni
Rank: 4th Tier; Loyalty: 100
Growth rate: 1/8 (This stage of growth can be completed in two weeks under normal conditions)
Talent Skill 1: Cooking Mastery
Talent Skill 2: Alchemy Mastery
Talent Skill 3: Meng Po Soup
Talent Skill 4: Power of Reincarnation
...
Upon sensing the girl's attributes, Ye Chen was immediately startled.
"Finally, a big shot from Fengdu City has arrived!" He couldn't help but murmur, looking at the girl's talent again and again.
Meng Po, an indispensable figure in Chinese mythology, stands guard by the Naihe Bridge. She refines and brews the lingering thoughts of mortals into a bowl of Meng Po soup for the souls of the dead, allowing them to forget their past loves and hates, unload their burdens, and enter the next cycle of reincarnation.
Despite being relatively unknown in various myths and legends, Meng Po is actually a powerful figure. She is an ancient deity who was born into the world at the very beginning of the primordial Three Realms. Seeing that people were troubled by grudges and hatred and could not let go until death, she followed the example of the great goddess Houtu, entered the cycle of reincarnation, and helped the souls of the dead to release their wishes from their previous lives.
Knowing that it wasn't the Siphon Soul that had died and been resurrected, Ye Chen directly dispersed the seals around Fengdu City, stepped into it, and came to the girl's side.
"My lord!" Upon seeing Ye Chen's arrival, the young girl naturally felt a sense of kinship, and at the same time knew that this was the person she would be serving.
"No need to be polite, you've come at the right time. There is a Meng Po Palace in Fengdu City! From today onwards, you will be called Meng Po!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
As his words fell, a magnificent palace suddenly rose in Fengdu City, not far from the Yama Palace in the center, with the three words "Meng Po Palace" written on the gilded plaque.
"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Your Excellency!" Meng Po bowed and said, her exquisite and beautiful appearance even surpassing that of Ye Xi and the others.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Meng Po Palace rose up, and the entire Fengdu City trembled violently. A large amount of ghostly energy was released, and a terrifying pressure suddenly rose, which even Ye Chen found difficult to bear.
"Fengdu City is about to advance, so it's not convenient for me to stay here any longer. I'll leave this place to you!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice, and then quickly teleported out of Fengdu City.
Standing outside Fengdu City, one can still clearly sense the changes in Fengdu City. The ghostly energy above surges, and the entire Primordial Star trembles because of Fengdu City's advancement.
"Roar~~~" Zhulong flew out from above. He has now been reborn and has a physical body, so he is no longer suitable to stay in Fengdu City.
However, after Zhulong emerged, it did not return to Zhangshou Mountain. Instead, it stood beside Ye Chen, quietly watching the changes in Fengdu City. This was the city where it had lived for decades and the place where it had been reborn. It was filled with joy and anticipation for the advancement of Fengdu City.
"What's wrong? There's a strong energy fluctuation in your territory? Is there something wrong with the Siphon Soul?" Raphael suddenly asked through the communication, sounding slightly nervous.
"It's alright! The Siphon Soul problem has been resolved. It's just that a clan's nest is about to advance!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
Hearing his words, Raphael was immediately relieved and congratulated the other party on his increased strength.
"Now that the Soul of Siphon has been killed, I won't stay here any longer. You can focus on advancing. I'll take them to support the other lords. The Dark Demon God is still a big problem!" After congratulating Ye Chen, Raphael said to him. The battle hadn't stopped, and they couldn't truly stop either.
"Okay! Please be careful. I'll come find you once I've recovered!" Ye Chen nodded and said.
Currently, there is only one Dark Demon God remaining among the mid-stage seventh-tier Dark Gods. Whether they concentrate their forces to kill him first or deal with the other Dark Gods first, the initiative in the war is already in their hands.
"Alright! I'll be waiting for you!" Raphael smiled, adjusted his position, and activated the territory's teleportation function to join the other lords.
The advancement of Fengdu City did not last long, but was completed in just a few minutes. However, the soul energy above Fengdu City continued to gather, and eventually, a new palace, or rather, a grotto-heaven, rose up deep within Fengdu City.
"Has the Hall of Reincarnation appeared?" Seeing the name on the main hall and the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation constantly emanating from the cave, Ye Chen's heart trembled. One of the most important buildings in Fengdu City had finally appeared.
