Relying on Warren's memory and Li Ran's immortal consciousness that had expanded his scanning range countless times by going down to the mortal world, Li Ran easily found the ruler of the Shenlan civilization, Emperor Shenlan. He teleported in front of Emperor Shenlan, facing him and staring at him eye to eye.
"It seems that I still underestimated you..." Emperor Shenlan was terrifyingly calm, with an indifferent expression, like a robot, giving Li Ran an extremely weird feeling.
When Li Ran secretly used his spiritual consciousness to try to directly spy on the soul memory of Emperor Shenlan, he found that he was like facing an indestructible wall and could not get in at all.
"What's going on? The emperor's strength is at most equivalent to that of a cultivator in the fusion stage. With my immortal sense, it would be easy for me to break in by force, or even enter without anyone noticing?" Li Ran frowned slightly. It seemed that the emperor of Shenlan civilization really had some little secrets.
"Don't waste your energy. With your divine consciousness that is infinitely weaker than that of a planetary realm, how could you possibly invade my soul..."
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Shen Lan's indifferent face, and then he said: "Well, since you can come to the lower world, you should have a way to go to the fairyland you are talking about here!"
"The Immortal Realm should have some slightly better materials. Hmm, it's worth it for me to consume some soul power..."
Shen Lan didn't say much. The unique soul of the intelligent life instantly rushed out of the body and directly entered Li Ran's soul space.
"This... is this the original breath? How is it possible..." Shen Lan, who was originally full of confidence, was completely dumbfounded the next moment. In his opinion, with his intelligent life at the level of a realm master, it would be easy to control a life that was only equivalent to the planetary realm or even weaker than the planetary realm. But he never expected that this kid actually had an eternal treasure hidden in his soul!
How could such a treasure appear in such a small corner? It's too fake!
Shen Lan felt like the entire Chaos Universe was targeting him. This was a precious treasure, extremely rare even in the Chaos Origin Universe. Even ordinary Universe Realm experts didn't dare to reveal it easily, fearing that the Eternal Realm would snatch it away. Shen Lan was truly questioning his life...
After sensing the aura of the treasure, Shen Lan subconsciously tried to struggle to leave Li Ran's soul space, but found that there was an invisible force suppressing him, making it impossible for him to break free.
He quickly stopped struggling. After all, he was an intelligent life form that had seen the world. In front of such a treasure with suppressive power, even if he was a cosmic-level intelligent life form, he would not be able to escape. He was like a lamb walking into the tiger's mouth.
Looking at this strange intelligent life soul, Xiaolong popped up and said in surprise: "Li Ran, you have never attracted such a thing before. This seems to be the legendary intelligent life!"
Li Ran smiled and said, "I encountered him while on a mission in the Mortal Realm. He has a lot of advanced technology. Please keep an eye on him for me and don't let him get away. I'm really greedy for all that technology."
"Don't worry, I have a holy weapon with the ability to suppress. Although the level of this intelligent life is not high, it is still not enough in front of me!" Xiaolong promised.
…
After chatting with Xiaolong for a while, Li Ran began to plan a soul search, but he was soon disappointed. This intelligent life form, Shenlan, seemed a little different. No matter how hard he searched, he could not find any information about Li Ran. He felt like he was stuck in an infinite loop, like clicking on a new folder on a computer, and countless new folders appeared, like endless nesting dolls...
"It's useless. As the most unique and noble intelligent life in the Chaos Origin Universe, your methods are simply too childish!" Although Shen Lan is a prisoner, his arrogance has not diminished at all.
"Xiaolong, this guy can edit his own soul memory. Do you have any way to get his memory out?" Li Ran was helpless and asked Xiaolong for help.
Xiaolong quickly said, "Intelligent life is a legend. It only exists in legends in the divine realm. I don't have a very good solution, but since it's a living being, it has basic emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hate, and fear. You can find a way to force him to behave!"
Li Ran nodded, glanced at Shen Lan's strange white soul and said, "Hey, do you hear me? Don't force me to use torture!"
Shen Lan ignored Li Ran and looked at him arrogantly, which made him angry. He directly used the Purple Extreme Demon Flame to roast him, but to Li Ran's disappointment, the Purple Extreme Demon Flame could not hurt him at all.
"It's useless. The gap between us is too big. If it weren't for this eternal treasure, you wouldn't be able to trap me at all. Even if you were suppressed by the treasure, you wouldn't be able to hurt me at all..." Shen Lan said coldly and arrogantly:
"Since you want technology, I'll give it to you. The only condition is that you let me go. I can promise to give you all the technology I know of so far, from level one to level seven!"
You're taking me for a fool. Li Ran didn't even bother to respond to him. Suddenly, he was shocked and looked surprised.
"Oh right, Aizen's clone in Shinigami form should be able to hurt him! I was busy for a long time and forgot about this!"
The consciousness and thinking of Li Ran's clones are synchronized, the only difference is the amount of consciousness distributed, just like a player playing a game with multiple accounts.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Aizen's clone appeared in front of Shenlan. After seeing Aizen's clone and feeling the aura of Aizen's clone, Shenlan couldn't help but asked in shock: "Soul Clan?"
Then he said in a confused voice: "How is this possible? How could the Soul Clan appear here?"
Shen Lan quickly looked at Li Ran and shouted, "Who are you? How come the Soul Clan is hiding in your soul space?"
Li Ran raised his eyebrows. He was a ruthless man who didn't talk much. Aizen's clone directly condensed Jinghua Shuiyue and slashed at Shenlan's white soul.
"ah!"
Trouble, what are you yelling about? It's really noisy. Hearing Shen Lan's scream, Li Ran felt much more comfortable. Then a few more knives followed...
“Stop… Stop… I was wrong… Don’t cut anymore… I am willing to acknowledge you as my master… Master, please don’t cut anymore… It hurts…”
Shen Lan screamed miserably, showing no trace of his previous arrogance and fearlessness of death. This made Li Ran sneer and said:
"Hurry up, my patience is limited..."
Shen Lan did not hesitate. Although intelligent life forms were blessed with natural advantages, God also gave them great restrictions. It would be best for them to follow a powerful soul clan member.
The way intelligent life recognizes its master is actually not much different from the way Li Ran enslaves other lives. The difference is that intelligent life can hide its core, and no one can enslave it as long as it doesn't want to.
After the soul mark was injected, Shen Lan's life and death were entirely in the hands of Li Ran. Moreover, unlike other lives, once an intelligent life recognizes its master, even if the master loses all his cultivation, no matter how strong the intelligent life is, it cannot betray!
