Above all spirits

Chapter 412 Sword Spirit Black 7

"Let's leave that aside for now. What did they do?"

Gu Yun ended the pointless discussion. The Crown of the Broken Realm had inevitably been lost, and no matter how heated or regrettable it was now, it was of no practical significance.

Bai Qi paused, pulling himself back to his senses.

"There was a being within the Merfolk that was recognized by the Spirit Clan, but they killed this Spirit Clan member."

"Can the Eldar be killed?"

"It's impossible for beings in the lower realm to be immortal. The spirit race is just harder to kill because they possess spiritual bodies. The power of space can inflict considerable damage on us. However, that spirit race member seemed to be constantly weak and in a very strange state. I don't know what the merfolk did, but... my sister saw his last moments before he died..."

As he spoke, Bai Qi couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"That spirit race was shattered into countless fragments by the power of space, and in the end, they were all channeled into that chaotic spiritual treasure you mentioned, just like..."

"Sacrifice?"

"Yes, you could say it was a sacrifice. Then they used spatial powers to capture my sister... While I was searching for my sister... I was captured as well."

Gu Yun pondered for a moment, seemingly understanding something, and said.

"I have a question I'd like to confirm with you?"

"You say."

"What would happen if you didn't acknowledge God and were killed?"

"what?"

Seeing Bai Qi's somewhat confused expression, Gu Yun explained again.

"The ability to control other living beings after being killed is somewhat unrealistic, but you mentioned to me before that the spirit core is your origin, so I guess that the spirit core and the spirit body are separated. After the spirit body is killed, it may be able to be temporarily controlled by the person who possesses the spirit core. At least it should be fine as a guide. So the question is, what will happen to you when you are killed, since you still have both the spirit core and the spirit body?"

"To be honest, I'm not too sure, but if we die of natural causes, our spirits will simply dissipate."

"Dissipated, huh? I see. You don't need to say anything more; I can guess what's next."

Gu Yunrou glanced at Hei Qi gently, chuckled, and continued speaking.

"I won't dig into other people's painful memories unless it's absolutely necessary."

Gu Yun roughly understood the whole story. Perhaps it was because of what he said that Hei Qi was unwilling to acknowledge a master and suffered endless torment from the merfolk. In the end, the solution they found was to make Hei Qi lose his rationality. Although Hei Qi could not acknowledge a master even if he lost his rationality, he could be used by them for a short time.

This led to the forging of the demonic weapon, where Hei Qi was forcibly sealed into a sword that was a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth. As for why a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth was needed, Gu Yun didn't know. If he deduced from the result and combined it with the current situation, Gu Yun could think that sealing Hei Qi would inevitably require the use of spatial power. However, ordinary spiritual treasures could not withstand too much spatial power, but as a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth, it should not be a big problem.

Afterwards, the Merfolk planned to use some kind of coldness to suppress this demonic sword spirit and "freeze" it, so that they could temporarily possess Black Seven. As for how to extract the original power of Black Seven's spirit body as fuel for using the Crown of the Broken Realm, Gu Yun did not know, and perhaps the Merfolk did not know either, after all, the Merfolk were attacked by the Dragon Clan and their forging of the demonic weapon was interrupted.

As for Bai Qi.

He was just a "foolish older brother" who was being threatened.

The chains that initially led into the stone chamber may have once served to imprison spirits, but they have likely lost their function over the years. The merfolk have long since vanished, and the power applied to the chains has long been washed away by time. However, Bai Qi's long-term imprisonment has, over time, also imprisoned his mind.

"However, there is one thing I still want to ask you."

Gu Yun slightly turned her head to look at Hei Qi directly, and Hei Qi reflexively lowered her head.

Gu Yun stood quietly to the side, silently watching her, while signaling to Bai Qi that there was no need to intervene.

Not long after, Hei Qi slowly raised his head and gripped Bai Qi's hand tightly.

She looked directly into Gu Yun's eyes. Although a sense of fear arose involuntarily in her heart, that was all; it did not make her feel disgusted.

gradually.

She discovered the reason for the problem.

Although Gu Yun's eyes appeared terrifying, surprisingly, they held no malice whatsoever. Having endured prolonged torment, she was acutely sensitive to this, so...

"You...speak."

This was the first time Hei Qi had spoken; her voice was light and delicate.

"In your memory, did the merfolk ever allow you to try entering the Crown of the Broken Realm?"

"Is it... that crown-shaped magical artifact?"

"Yes."

"I think I tried, but I couldn't get in. I also felt it was very strange at the time, as it shouldn't be possible."

"Hmm...do you know why?"

Black Seven shook his head blankly.

Gu Yun shrugged, seemingly unsurprised by the result.

"I'm fine."

"Then, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?"

"Xiao Bai should have already told you, right? In fact, if you really don't want to, you can choose to leave. I will also give up Bai Qi and let him leave with you."

"Because following me will be a long journey, possibly until the end of your lives, so you need to be prepared."

Hei Qi's eyes flickered, as if she couldn't believe what Gu Yun had said. Having been trapped for many years, she preferred freedom.

"but."

"He needs to try something for me, and only after that will he be able to do it."

"Another point."

"You must understand that you will eventually need to find another suitable master."

"In my opinion, missing out on me is your loss."

Gu Yun did not mean to boast.

To be honest, the abilities of these two spirit races, who are not yet fully developed, are indeed a bit lacking, and he may not be able to use them much. Even if the future is promising, no one can say for sure that Gu Yun will not encounter a better spirit race in the future.

Everything tends towards strength, and Gu Yun believed he had the confidence to make this choice.

Black Seven remained silent for a moment.

at last.

She raised her head, took a deep breath, and her eyes held a resolute look.

Bai Qi had told her about Gu Yun.

Perhaps this will be the beginning of a new life for her.

Can I trust you?

Gu Yun looked at Bai Qi with some confusion, then turned her gaze back to Hei Qi. Although she didn't know why there was a question, she still answered.

"of course can."

"Then, I...am willing."

Black Seven's voice was still trembling slightly.

But she didn't hesitate at all when she took what she did next.

Gu Yun looked at the spirit core that was slowly emerging from between Hei Qi's eyebrows, emitting a faint black light, and gently curved the corners of his mouth.

Although his tone was somewhat lacking, he was decisive and efficient in his actions, unlike Bai Qi. Gu Yun actually preferred this kind of personality.

"Elder Race, Black Seven, we are willing to serve you as our master."
