Chapter 187 The Secret of Soul Watering
The fierce battle outside the palace lasted for a day and a night, until the fight between the two men shattered large chunks of the ground, turning the original square into a big pit, and sea water began to spread from the inland sea.
The originally evenly matched battle finally had a winner.
Aige's ghost ship sailed on the shallow lake, and Arthur Lane was guarding the seal and could not move at all.
Then came the ghost ship's earth-shaking blow, which raised the sea water higher than the palace.
Amberxiu did not just stand there and watch, he successfully convinced the entire Angry Tide Kingdom, and in the final battle, he ordered the Angry Tide Legion to launch a powerful thunder attack.
The two sides worked together and finally shattered Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit.
After witnessing Arthur Lane's power with his own eyes, Amberxiu realized that the description in the poem was not exaggeration. Having held on for 1,700 years, he deserved the praise regardless of whether he founded the Lane Empire or not.
The power of the holy light was exhausted, and the seal was completely ineffective. The gap that was originally the size of a hair turned into a large piece of fragmented space debris, and it was completely shattered after Ai Ge put his hand in.
Ai Ge took out a sparkling hourglass from it.
The time artifact of the Demon Dragon Tyrant is finally obtained.
In full view of the crowd, Aige stood on the mast of the ghost ship, looking at the people of the Angry Tide Kingdom.
But in fact, she was looking at Amber Hew disguised as Monger Grey River.
The battle was not intense before, so she had no time to contact Amberxiu, but she believed that Amberxiu would not betray her, so she waited for the thundering blow that showed cooperation.
But now that the artifact is in hand, I wonder how this lich will continue to act.
The situation was similar on the Angry Tide Kingdom side, with everyone's eyes shifting towards Amberxiu.
Amber Xiu did not disappoint the audience and walked towards Ai Ge with a heroic look on his face.
In the eyes of the people of the Angry Tide Kingdom, Amberxiu was risking his own life.
The one in front of him was a powerful undead who had just destroyed half of the capital. The undead had no humanity. How much courage did General Mung Grey River have to dare to walk towards him alone?
Many people ask themselves, even if they have such a huge army backing them up, they can't be as calm as this person.
Look at his steps, how steady they are, look at his expression, how calm he is. I used to think that the title of this national general was a bit exaggerated, but today it seems that this courage alone is worthy of the previous praise.
Ariel was one of them. She had looked down on the weak Monger Grey River before, but she had completely changed her mind about him in the past two days. A man does not necessarily need great strength. The wisdom and courage to turn the tide are more precious than fists.
The Kingdom of Rage lacks such talents.
This is also the reason why both father and daughter kept silent about the duel. The conflict between them has disappeared, and the duel has no meaning. A duel without fighting spirit is just blasphemy.
Amber could feel everyone looking at him, but he didn't care at all.
The lich is so powerful and shameless, so it is vulnerable to force and is not affected at all.
Amber Xiu walked to the small lake that had just been blown up, and used the Phantom Step to teleport directly to the boat. This operation made everyone sweat for him again. It was not enough to just get close, he had to get on the boat, which would really put his life in the hands of others. Even if the kingdom wanted to save him, it might be too late.
Ai Ge saw Amber Xiu appearing on the boat and asked quietly, "How should I act? Should I slap you away with one slap? How did you trick these sons of the storm into assisting me?"
Amber Xiu said quickly: "Don't do that. We are in a peace negotiation now. The Angry Tide Kingdom wants to make peace with you. As long as you promise not to plunder their ships anymore, the Angry Tide Kingdom can give you some compensation."
Ai Ge said strangely: "Do you really want to help them negotiate business? The artifact is already in our hands, we just need to leave here. With the few people in the Angry Tide Kingdom, they can't stop me."
"Captain Aige, this is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. The Silent Night Pirates don't actually have any deep hatred with the Wrathful Tide Kingdom. Over the years, you've always been the winners."
In order to wipe out this pirate group, the Kingdom of Angry Tide lost countless people, even two kings died, but the Silent Night Pirates are still alive and well. The worst that can happen is that they will sink to the bottom of the sea. This trick is almost invincible.
"I can't say it's hatred, it's just that my main body is a pirate ship, so robbing has become a habit." Ai Ge said indifferently.
It affected the Kingdom of Rage for a thousand years, and it caused countless casualties, but this was just a habit for Ai Ge, like a personal taste. The concept of the undead was so unique, and it was incompatible with the living. After a long time, many things would become insignificant.
"That is to say, we can actually talk about it. Captain Ai Ge, you mentioned in the chat group before that if the president suddenly appears, something big will happen in the world, and it is very likely to be a replica of the war of gods thousands of years ago. By then, not only the countries on the mainland, but also overseas countries will be affected. Captain, you were injured because of me this time, so I have to express my gratitude.
"The Kingdom of Fury can become an ally. At least you can borrow their power in the upcoming battle between gods. You don't need to give anything. Just nod and I will take care of everything else."
Amberxiu had been avoiding direct conflict with the Angry Tide Kingdom because he didn't want Aige to suffer too much damage. However, he didn't expect Arthur Lane to be so outrageous that he sealed his soul inside and turned it into a guardian spirit. He is still so powerful after 1,700 years.
Ai Ge seemed noncommittal about this, and instead said to Amber Xiu: "It doesn't matter whether we negotiate with the Kingdom of Fury or not, you decide, this is not what I need."
"Hmm? Captain Ai Ge means that you have any other requests? Just tell me, I will do my best to help you." said Amber Xiu.
This was really beyond expectations, and since Ai Ge suffered losses because of him, Amber Xiu had to find a way to make up for it. Business requires a win-win situation to last long. If only one party takes advantage, the negotiations will fail.
"Do you know why I am willing to help you find this artifact?" Ai Ge asked.
Amber Xiu shook his head. It was definitely not just about the face of the Withered Rose. The Withered Rose was not very familiar with Captain Aige, so the other party would not go to such an extent.
Ai Ge explained: "Because the president told me that you can help me solve the long-standing problem and find out why my father cannot be resurrected."
"President? He knows me... No, sorry for asking a stupid question."
As soon as Amber Xiu opened his mouth, he felt something was wrong. The Codex of the Undead was delivered to his coffin by this president. How could the other party not recognize him? Maybe he even knew him very well.
"Captain Ai Ge, even the president can't answer your doubts?" Amber Xiu asked curiously.
There is no doubt that the president of the Mourning Poets Society is an extremely powerful and mysterious character. Amberxiu estimates that even his teacher, the God of Alchemy, cannot compare to him. The identity of the god is already certain, but no one knows which god it is.
Ai Ge has been pursuing this question for many years, which is longer than the history of Ryan's founding of the country. Why has the president never given her an answer?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ai Ge showed a nostalgic expression, and then said: "I don't know, at first, I thought it was because my mind was very weak. As a ghost ship, I could only sail on the sea by instinct at the beginning, occasionally devouring the souls of a few lone sailors. At that time, I didn't even know how to use the Codex of the Dead. When I realized that this was a divine artifact, I hadn't learned to speak yet, so I named myself the Mute.
"I asked the president at the time, and he always said that the answer to this question would appear sooner or later, and asked me to wait patiently. I thought it was because I was too weak and not qualified to find the answer. So I have been working hard to become stronger. Until recently, the president suddenly told me that the answer to this question will soon be available, and the key is you."
Amber Xiu said helplessly: "It's a pity, I can't help you. I still don't have any clues."
Ai Ge took out the hourglass and said, "No, the clue has been found. You led me to it."
Amber Xiu said in surprise: "You don't want me to go back in time and help you save your creator? This is impossible."
This is impossible. Fate that has already happened cannot be changed. No matter how hard Ambers tries to go back to the past, he cannot bring the creator of Ege back to life. Only things that have not happened yet can be intervened by going back to the past. If Ambers wants to save Harvey, he must do so before he dies, not after he dies. Otherwise, there will be no chance of success.
Under the control of the power of destiny, the world is a line, a straight line, leading from the past to the future, with no twists and turns in between. Occasionally someone can go upstream, but the long river of time will never change its course because of this.
Only those who are ignorant of the consequences think they can change history.
"No, that's not what I'm talking about. You should feel it carefully and see what's special about this artifact. When I first got it in my hand, I felt that this artifact has its own consciousness, as if it has a soul." Ai Ge handed the hourglass to Amberxiu.
As soon as An Boxiu took it, he immediately understood what Ai Ge meant.
The artifact was struggling to escape from his grasp; it was a living thing.
Amber Xiuke is an expert in souls and more sensitive than Aige. His fingers slide across the hourglass, and a faint light lights up on the artifact. The light forms a familiar face, which is Arthur Lane.
Amber Xiu said strangely: "The heroic spirit and the artifact have merged? How come it has become like a ghost ship?"
Can inanimate objects produce their own souls? The answer is yes. Ghost ships are a representative example. However, the conditions for the formation of ghost ships are very harsh...
Amber carefully sensed the weakened heroic spirit and finally discovered what was different about this soul.
Amber Xiu said excitedly: "I understand! This is not Arthur Ryan's real soul at all. He just made a strong wish to the artifact, and then used his own power to water the seed of the wish and let it grow into a heroic spirit.
"Captain Aige, your creator is the same. He has deep feelings for you. In his last battle before his death, his strongest wish was that you could have true consciousness. This wish became a seed, and after being watered, it grew and became who you are today, so..."
Ai Ge was silent for a moment, and then continued to say Amber Xiu's last words: "It was my father who used his soul as nutrients to water the seeds of wishes, so that I was born. Therefore, my father's soul is contained in my soul. To resurrect him is equivalent to digging a piece of my soul, so the wish will fail, because the wish cannot harm the wisher in such a straightforward way. In other words, if I am willing to risk damaging my soul, I can still resurrect him."
When he said the latter part, Ai Ge suddenly became excited.
However, Amber shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case. Captain Aige, you have misunderstood this process. Your father's soul does not exist in your soul, nor does it belong to him.
"For example, when humans eat food, the food is transformed into their energy and flesh. Every drop of blood and every muscle fiber of humans has been integrated with the food. How do you restore this food? Just dig out a few pieces of flesh from a living person? Impossible. Food is food. Once digested and absorbed, it no longer exists.
"The wishing technique cannot kill you. It cannot reverse the time and space of soul matter and transform it back to its original form. You used the wishing technique to create your father's body. You did not reverse the fish and shrimp that ate his flesh and blood. Instead, you created a similar corpse out of thin air.
"So, my suggestion is that next time you use the wishing technique to create a father in your impression. Even though it is a false substitute, it is the only way."
