Chapter 576 Soul Orb
Luo Li pursed her lips, "Is there no other way?"
Chi Luo smiled and shook his head, "Of course not."
Ziyou Star Wolf held his chin and said, "Chi Luo, you brought her here, don't you want us to give her the soul bead?"
Luo Li was stunned. "Soul Orb, what is that?"
Lihuo Qilin didn't mention this either.
Chi Luo nodded as a matter of course, "So what? You're all going to die anyway, and you're not as damaged as me. Since you're all going to die, why not do something good?"
Luo Li felt a surge of complex emotions when she heard this. She looked around and saw that in this dark space, several pairs of eyes, some deep and some cunning, were staring at her quietly, as if they could see through every subtle fluctuation in her heart.
There was a glint of amusement in Ziyou Star Wolf's violet eyes, while Chi Luo's smile concealed a subtle tenderness and determination.
Jiuyou White Tiger chuckled, "I think what Chi Luo said makes sense, what do you think?"
The other three monsters looked at each other, then looked at Luo Li who looked puzzled, and nodded, "It can be considered as leaving a trace of our existence in this world."
Suddenly, an ancient and powerful force slowly rose from the ground, surrounding them and forming brilliant bands of light.
Luo Li was surprised to find that there were several very dazzling objects similar to spirit beads circling in these light bands.
They are as bright as stars and as light as souls. They are exactly the "soul beads" that Chi Luo mentioned.
The wind blew gently, lifting the mottled hair on the Nine Nether White Tiger's body, and each strand seemed to be telling the story of past glory and vicissitudes.
Suddenly, the white tiger let out a long roar towards the sky. The roar pierced the clouds and split the rocks, shook the valley, and echoed between heaven and earth. It seemed like a farewell, but also like an expectation and blessing for the future.
As the roaring sound gradually died down, the figure of the white tiger began to become blurred, as if it had merged into the surrounding light and shadow, and finally turned into specks of starlight, slowly dissipating in the air.
Where they disappeared, they left behind five beads emitting various colors of light.
The five soul beads were suspended in the air, colorful, like the brightest stars in the night sky fallen into the mortal world.
Red is like flames, blue is like the deep sea, yellow is warm like the sun, green is full of vitality, and purple is deep and mysterious.
They spun slowly, a subtle attraction and repulsion between them seemingly interweaving to create a brilliant canvas of light and shadow. The surrounding air seemed to be stained by this light, becoming soft and dreamy.
Luo Li was a little stunned. What exactly is a soul bead?
While she was thinking, the five soul beads suddenly approached Luo Li. Luo Li subconsciously stretched out her hand, and the five soul beads automatically fell into the palm of her hand.
She was quite puzzled and looked up at Chi Luo, "Senior, what is this?"
The wind blew gently, lifting Chi Luo's sleeves, as if even the air was carrying the weight of his impending disappearance.
Chi Luo did not answer Luo Li's words. He looked up into the distance, as if he could see the once glorious home of his people, which was also the eternal concern in his heart.
"Bai Ze, if you have the chance, tell my people that although the world is vast, where your heart leads you is your home. My mission is complete, and the rest of the journey will be yours to walk."
After saying this, his figure seemed to become more transparent, and the space around him began to distort slightly, as if even the heaven and earth were mourning the departure of this guardian.
The wind became increasingly gentle yet carried a hint of reluctance as it passed through Chi Luo's gradually fading figure. Every wisp seemed to be gently caressing his soon-to-disappear outline.
The sunlight suddenly penetrated the ruins and sprinkled on his translucent body, giving him a layer of light golden glow, which was heartbreakingly beautiful.
Bai Ze's eyes were slightly red. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the warmth that was about to dissipate, but he could only hold onto nothingness.
All around, everything seemed to be still, even time slowed down, just to witness the tragedy and solemnity of this moment.
Chi Luo's eyes flashed with reluctance and determination. His last gaze traveled through endless time and space, as if he was looking into the eyes of his deceased tribesmen.
With a slight hum, the air around his body began to ripple, like the surface of a lake being blown by a breeze.
And he, like a drop of water about to merge into the sea, slowly dissipated, turned into points of light, and finally merged into the land he once swore to protect with his life, leaving behind endless longing and hope.
Bai Ze's whole body suddenly lost some strength. He knelt on one knee on the ground, clenching his fists. "I will definitely avenge you..."
Luo Li lowered her eyes and looked at him, knowing that what he needed now was not comfort, but to digest this emotion on his own.
She held the little ball of fur, found a place to sit cross-legged, closed her eyes and dozed off.
Bai Ze did not move from where he was. His breathing was heavy and slow. Every breath he took seemed to bury the sorrow and anger in his heart, turning it into strength to move forward in the future.
Luo Li sat quietly not far away, the little fur ball curled up in her arms, snoring softly, as if also giving comfort in his own way.
She closed her eyes to rest, but her long eyelashes trembled from time to time, revealing her inner turmoil.
Everything around seemed to have fallen into some inexplicable silence. Only time flowed silently, witnessing the heaviness and indomitable spirit of this moment.
The interweaving of candlelight and shadows depicts this land as both warm and desolate, just like the complex emotions in Bai Ze's heart, which is both a remembrance of the past and a firmness for the future.
Half an hour later, Bai Ze patted Luo Li's shoulder and said, "Wake up, let's go out."
Luo Li slowly opened her eyes, her eyes gleaming with clarity.
The candlelight danced on her delicate face, making her skin look like jade, adding a touch of softness and mystery.
She didn't mention what happened just now, but just raised her hand and asked, "What exactly is a soul bead?"
Bai Ze's mood had returned to normal by now. He explained, "Actually, when one's strength and bloodline reach a certain level, one can choose to smelt their soul into a soul orb after death. However, the requirements are very strict. The bloodline must be pure-blooded magical beast. And the soul orb can naturally be smelted with other magical beasts of the same element or bloodline. Not only can it increase their strength, but it also increases the purity of their bloodline. It can be said that everyone is flocking to it."
He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Xiao Liu, there's no need. There probably isn't a magical beast in this world with a bloodline more powerful than his."
"The one from Senior Jiuyou White Tiger can be given to Momo, but it's still up to you to decide."
Luo Li first put away the five soul beads, then looked up at Bai Ze and said, "The one from Senior Jiuyou White Tiger belongs to Momo."
She walked out and said, "Let's go back to Moyue City."
Bai Ze curled his lips lightly, "Hey, don't leave yet, take me back to the Tower of Gods first!"
