Chapter 603 - Spirit (2/2)
After such a process, the Dragon Gun and the t.i.tan had become connected by blood. When one was damaged, the other would be affected as well. Once the t.i.tan died, his t.i.tan Dragon Spear would also lose its life. Even if it had been preserved, it was nothing more than just a lifeless sh.e.l.l which no longer possessed the terrifying power it had had during the Prehistoric Age.
However, Lin Li was not one who dwelt on issues, and it didn’t matter even if he couldn’t use the t.i.tan Dragon Spear now. Although the t.i.tan Dragon Spear had lost its life, the sheer Thunderbolt power of the t.i.tan Dragon Spear did not disappear, and was merely dormant.
Lin Li knew that what was detected by the Mana Detector just now was the formidable mana that came from the t.i.tan Dragon Spear. So long as Lin Li found a suitable method, he would be able to awaken and activate the infinite power contained in it. Thunderbolt, which was one of the pieces of the debris of the stars, was undoubtedly the best choice for awakening that power.
Lin Li heaved a sigh of relief, and suppressed all of his excitement. It was not the time to think about those matters yet. Most importantly, he had to think about how to bring the t.i.tan Dragon Spear and t.i.tan skeleton away.
There was infinite s.p.a.ce in Lin Li’s Ring of Endless Storm, and he could even store the remains of the Dragon of Destruction in it. Although the t.i.tan skeleton was huge, it wouldn’t cause a s.p.a.ce constraint. However, Lin Li had another issue to consider before placing the two items in the Ring of Endless Storm, and that was the legendary t.i.tan’s Spirit.
In the world that Lin Li had lived in before he teleported, there had always been a great debate about the existence of spirits. Of course, the majority felt that there were no souls in humans and no afterlife. However, in the magical world of Anril, everyone acknowledged the existence of spirits.
It was said that since the Dark Age, High Elves, humans, other intelligent races, and even magical beasts which had no wisdom would become spirits after death. However, there was no conclusion about what form spirits would take; hence, there were varying opinions.
The necromancer Sendros was the only one who could be considered to be experienced and learned in spirits. After all, necromancers often communicated with spirits.
Lin Li and Sendros had once discussed Necromagic, and the topic of spirits was naturally unavoidable. Sendros had been asking Lin Li regarding some knowledge on pharmacy; hence, he obviously wouldn’t refuse to answer Lin Li’s questions. However, even as a Master Necromancer, Sendros could not give Lin Li an exact answer, and had merely told him some of his conjectures.
In Anril, some of the more authoritative statements about the form of the spirits suggested that the soul might fall into eternal sleep or completely vanish after death. It might even become resentful ghouls. Of course, there was also a possibility of being swallowed by Undead creatures that used the Spiritual Force to enhance their own power.
However, Sendros also mentioned that before the Dark Age, it was said that ancient Wyrms and t.i.tans would not return to their spiritual states after death. After the death of a t.i.tan, their strong willpower that had been fused with Thunderbolt would be concentrated into a spirit and stored in the Pantheon. On the other hand, after an ancient Wyrm died, its willpower and mental strength would both be concentrated in the Dragon’s Spirit and placed in the Dragons’ Graveyard in endless time and s.p.a.ce.
However, Sendros had no idea where the Pantheon and the Dragons’ Graveyard were and what they looked like. In fact, even the three Sanctuary figures of the Supreme Council probably wouldn’t know the answer to this question. In short, no matter where the Spirit or Dragon’s Spirit went in the end, they definitely wouldn’t vanish.
In fact, this statement was not surprising. Ancient Wyrms and t.i.tans were born out of chaos, and were powerful races that were born when the world began. During the growth of the t.i.tans, they had to continue to strengthen their bodies and willpower with the power of the Thunderbolt. Their willpower was probably already extremely terrifying.
Lin Li was worried about encountering the t.i.tan Spirit here. Although it was said that the t.i.tan Spirit would return to Pantheon, this was definitely an exceptional case because the t.i.tan Dragon Spear contained both the power of Thunderbolt and the t.i.tan’s ma.s.sive willpower. When the t.i.tan died, he would become a spirit, and the t.i.tan Dragon Spear would re-integrate into the spirit and protect its partner in another form after entering Pantheon.
Although the t.i.tan Dragon Spear in front of him had lost its life, it still showed no sign of dissipating. That could only mean one thing—the t.i.tan was extremely out of luck, for its spirit did not even get a chance to enter the Pantheon after death. Hence, the t.i.tan Dragon Spear naturally had no chance to be incorporated into the spirit, either.
If there was really a t.i.tan Spirit in it… Well, no one would be generous enough to let someone else covet his skeleton and weapon. An adult t.i.tan basically had power above level-25, thus making them possess Sanctuary-level power.
