Chapter 1804: Answer (1/2)
“The Imperial Soul Monarch! He’s the Imperial Soul Monarch?!”
Lieyan Yuan exclaimed in shock before staring dumbfoundedly at Qin Lie.
“I’m the reborn Imperial Soul Monarch?” Tian Qi’s words also caught Qin Lie by surprise.
“What? You must have noticed something by now, haven’t you?” Tian Qi looked at him in astonishment.
Qin Lie mulled over Tian Qi’s words seriously and said nothing.
“The Soul Race has no physical body. In certain combat situations this unique trait could be an advantage, but not when the opponent is as powerful as they are. Sometimes, it is even a weakness.” Tian Qi shot Qin Lie a meaningful look before continuing, “This weakness should be plenty clear to the Imperial Soul Monarch when he battled the Saint God of the shadow beings.”
“For the longest time, Soul Beasts were seen as the perfect hosts for Soul Race clansmen. They were used to mitigate the Soul Race’s lack of a body.”
“However, the Soul Beast wasn’t the best choice for the Imperial Soul Monarch.”
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have searched for a better body after the battle against the Saint God.”
Tian Qi paused for a moment before looking at Lieyan Yuan. He said, “In his opinion, your Perfect Blood project was the best way to obtain the best body in the universe!”
“He had probably set his eyes on the Perfect Blood project right after his battle against the Saint God. Through countless plots, he was able to imbue his soul into the body with the Perfect Blood.”
“Lieyan Yuan, I’m sure you know just how high powerful a soul the Perfect Blood demands.”
“You tried to recreate the Perfect Blood after your success with Qin Lie, but you never succeeded because the newborn souls could never endure the power of the Perfect Blood. Am I right?”
Lieyan Yuan’s complexion was ashen. His eyelids twitched after hearing Tian Qi’s question.
Tian Qi had hit the nail right in the head.
It was as Tian Qi said, he had tried using the same method to recreate the Perfect Blood after confirming that Qin Lie was a success.
However, every time the process reached a critical moment, the baby… was unable to form a soul.
More accurately, the soul of a newborn couldn’t withstand the power of the Perfect Blood. Their soul would be killed the second the Perfect Blood exhibited some signs of power.
Despite repeated experiments, the results were always the same. That was why he had come to the helpless conclusion that the Perfect Blood couldn’t be recreated.
Naturally, it made Qin Lie’s existence all the more impressive.
“Who do you think is more knowledgeable than the Imperial Soul Monarch when the souls are involved?” Tian Qi said bitterly.
“Lieyan Yuan, it’s true that you’ve completed one of the necessary requirements to complete the Perfect Blood—the construction of the body—but not even you could create a True Soul of the Perfect Blood.”
“But the Imperial Soul Monarch could.”
“If my guess is correct, the Imperial Soul Monarch used the most profound soul secret art in the universe to impart a wisp of his True Soul inside the perfect body.”
“His True Soul secretly nurtured the first Qin Lie’s soul so that the Perfect Blood can be formed smoothly.”
“However, the first Qin Lie’s soul was too weak. There was no way he could withstand the Perfect Blood’s terrifying power when it activated completely.”
“Even if the plot of the six great human forces never happened, he was still destined to die.”
“The six great forces had just pushed things along a bit faster.”
Tian Qi sucked in a deep breath and looked at Qin Lie as if he knew everything. He said, “What really surprised me about this incident is your benevolence, Monarch. The reason the first Qin Lie never awakened the Perfect Blood was because you knew that he would die the moment it activated. You had vanished in a state of chaos and hid yourself among the shadows all because you didn’t want the first Qin Lie to die because of the Perfect Blood.”
“Of course, you knew that it was only a matter of time before the Perfect Blood awakened. You knew that he was going to die no matter what.”
