Chapter 1902: Chapter 26: Black Soul’s Transformation (Part 2)
In this way, Ni Yang gradually saw some things, particularly about Zhang Xiaoman’s enhancement in strength, which truly amazed it.
"This kid might really be the reincarnation of some Great Power, or have an unprecedented bloodline, naturally communicating all... most of the laws and abilities, so he’s never fallen into a bottleneck stage. As long as his spiritual power reaches the level, he can break through realms..."
Ni Yang muttered to itself, conservatively omitting the claim that it was all laws but instead saying most.
Because if it truly were all laws, what that would mean is simply beyond words, Ni Yang didn’t even dare to imagine it.
Zhang Xiaoman just smiled at it, and instead of answering, asked:
"Ni Yang, do you think there’s really reincarnation in this world? If there is, then why do those souls have nowhere to go?"
He knew that the laws mentioned by the other party actually referred to what his people called the Divine Domain Series. In reality, they’re the same, but due to habit, it’s difficult to change the term.
Faced with Zhang Xiaoman’s question, Ni Yang was momentarily speechless.
Indeed, where in this world could there be reincarnation? Everyone clearly knows this, and its previous questioning was somewhat redundant.
Even the manifestation of souls doesn’t exist in this world; though the human body contains soul power, most of it merely refers to spiritual power. When a person dies, their spiritual power dissipates, and the soul thus follows, with the difference being that those with stronger spiritual power can retain it longer, but that spiritual power is just chaotic energy, not a soul.
Ni Yang had once visited the Original Realm, where it saw the true appearance of souls. That was the law of another New World, and only there did the spiritual power transform into souls after people died; it couldn’t happen in its own world.
Seeing Ni Yang’s silent contemplation, Zhang Xiaoman merely shook his head, not planning to share the System’s secret with anyone, Ni Yang included.
The atmosphere on the scene fell into silence for a moment.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t want to deceive Ni Yang, so he naturally didn’t explain much, while Ni Yang was lost in thought about something.
Time slowly passed as the surface of the black ball appeared motionless, but the changes inside Zhang Xiaoman could discern indicated that the Black Soul had entered a critical period.
"Hmm... The Immortal Elixir you gave has been ingested, it seems this little guy might not hold out much longer."
Ni Yang could naturally also see the changes inside the black ball. Observing the status of the Black Soul now, it couldn’t help but sigh.
"I think he can make it; his willpower is very strong. As a Loose Cultivator, to cultivate to this level, I’ve only encountered him within the entire Dark Star Alliance."
"Is that so? Let’s hope so. If this little one dies just like that, it would be a pity, but if he’s able to survive, then the Star Alliance will have another expert to hold the fort, saving me the trouble of always being bothered."
Zhang Xiaoman understood the meaning within his words and smiled awkwardly, saying:
"In the past, wasn’t I too weak, with nowhere to borrow strength from? I had to trouble you. But now, the Star Alliance has some foundation, so you won’t need to intervene in minor matters. In the future, you can enjoy exploring the universe. If you miss the old places, I can create an identical one for you in the Original Realm."
Upon hearing this, Ni Yang sneered.
"Bah, I think not. I couldn’t get out of your place; I don’t want to be confined for another ten thousand years."
...
As the man and dragon spoke, the black ball suddenly showed new movement.
The surface of the black sphere cracked piece by piece, and a golden light shot out from within.
"Oh ho, he succeeded, you’ve got it right, kid."
Ni Yang looked at the proud figure standing in the golden light and unexpectedly clicked its tongue in surprise.
"This kid, unexpectedly, has such courage and means, forcibly severed all the miscellaneous abilities he learned, reducing the body’s load, and used the spiritual power backlash from severing these abilities to replenish his body’s consumption, thus forcing his way through—it is indeed rather interesting."
"Haha, I told you he could do it—now, the Star Alliance has another Transcendent-level expert."
Zhang Xiaoman’s face broke into a smile as he for the first time approached Black Soul, coming to his side.
"Extreme Star Lord!"
Black Soul weakly saluted.
Zhang Xiaoman used a twenty-fifth sequence of Divine Domain "Returning Healing" to instantly heal Black Soul’s injuries.
"Congratulations, from now on you are the leader of the Godslayer Team in my Star Alliance and also the Hall Master of the Moon Shadow Hall, one of the Three Great Sanctuaries. The Godslayer Team will formally be integrated into the Moon Shadow Hall, and you have full authority to mobilize the resources within."
Black Soul’s face showed gratitude.
"Thank you, Lord! I vow to follow you to the death!"
He was genuinely thrilled, not only having advanced to the Transcendent Level, preserving his life, possessing extraordinary strength, but also becoming a Hall Master of the Star Alliance.
He was very aware of the significance of the Hall Master within the Star Alliance; they are true high-level figures in the organization, meaning Extreme Star Lord has thoroughly recognized him.
Black Soul’s joy was justified, as the current Star Alliance was unlike before, having become an immensely powerful organization.
Black Soul had seen firsthand the organization’s heritage; in the battle within the Prism Star System, suddenly three Transcendent-level God Slayers appeared, power he had never heard of before.
The organization also harbored other Transcendent-level experts; although Black Soul did not know the exact number, he understood this level of combat power could rival the entire Dark Star Alliance, not to mention having Extreme Star—a figure standing at the cosmic apex—in the organization. Its companion, the Green Little Dragon, seemed no weaker, possibly another Middle-level God-level existence.
After all, although Black Soul now possessed Transcendent-level strength, he still couldn’t discern the Green Little Dragon, while the latter could companionably journey and casually converse with Extreme Star, which naturally implied everything.
"Alright, I need to leave for a while now. During this time, you will hold your post on Water Blue Star. It has been heard that the Great Fusion has begun in certain places. Next, you need to monitor the happenings around Water Blue Star at all times. Don’t concern yourself with other areas for now; your task is simply to guard that planet."
Zhang Xiaoman assigned the first task, which was to protect Water Blue Star. After all, it was his base camp, a place of significant sentimental value, so it couldn’t be compromised.
He himself would be heading to the other side of the Ruins Realm with Ni Yang to check things out. This matter could not be delayed because the entrance to the Ruins was a constant hidden danger, the multitude of demons streaming out indicating unusual secrets inside. Even if he couldn’t find the root of those secrets, he at least needed to find a way to close the entrance; otherwise, the infinite demons would completely devastate the Divine Ancient World. The Heavenly Dao here was under his Control, and he was thinking of centering this place to cultivate a large number of combat personnel later on.
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoman’s instructions, Black Soul eagerly nodded, filled with passion for his first task.
Zhang Xiaoman also arranged some matters as he didn’t know how long he would be away, whether for personal affairs or organizational development grand plans, he needed everything properly set.
Another good news was that the Star Alliance had welcomed a new Star Lord, that being Ni Yang.
Interestingly enough, Ni Yang was initially uninterested in these trivial matters, even planning to not join the Star Alliance.
But after harmonious interactions with Zhang Xiaoman for this period, plus the latter’s strength now being on par with his Immortal King level, making him one of the few he could speak with equally, this connection ultimately made Ni Yang reluctantly agree to join the Star Alliance.
Yet, Ni Yang, being quite vain, while verbally claiming disinterest, couldn’t help but want a ring after witnessing the organization’s members showing utmost respect for the Star Lord.
After acquiring the ring, Ni Yang was awed by its powerful attributes, exemplifying the truth of the ’true fragrance law.’
