 Chapter 2272: The Second Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast

The Soul Spirit Realm was still the same Soul Spirit Realm, filled with the aura of souls.

The Soul Spirit Race was very special. They appeared to have no physical bodies, which was what Lin Moyu had initially thought.

Later, as his realm increased, he understood that the Soul Spirit Race did have physical bodies, but their bodies and souls were fused together. Their bodies were their souls, and their souls were their bodies.

Regarding this wondrous existence, one could only say that the world is vast and full of wonders.

Lin Moyu strolled through the world of the Soul Spirit Race. He was in no hurry to refine this world; last time he had been too rushed, but this time he could appreciate it carefully.

Perhaps soon, this world would never be seen again.

He came to the waterfall he had once entered, and again saw the words carved on it.

What was once a deadly danger to him could now be ignored.

He came again to the space where the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast resided. The aura of the Progenitor Beast still lingered here.

Back then, the entire Soul Spirit Realm had summoned the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast with all their might.

In the end, the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast was beaten to near death and fell into slumber, while the army that had come to suppress the Soul Spirit Race disappeared without a trace after that battle.

"They were probably destroyed by the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast."

"But if the Soul Spirit Race were traitors, and both sides were in a fight to the death, why would they entrust the Rule God Stone to the Soul Spirit Race for safekeeping?" Lin Moyu recalled the Soul Spirit Race he had encountered in the outer realm. At that time, they had said they had fulfilled their promise to the Human Race and hoped the Human Race would fulfill their promise in return.

"What exactly did the Human Race promise them?"

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and he took out a crystal-like object. This was the star core left behind after the death of the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast.

After the death of a Starry Sky Beast, there was a certain probability of obtaining a star core.

The star core could be said to be the crystallization of a Starry Sky Beast's power. The higher the realm of the Starry Sky Beast, the more valuable its star core naturally was.

Over the years, Lin Moyu had obtained many star cores, but none could compare to the star core of the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast.

Judging from the star core, the realm of the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast might have surpassed that of a Holy Venerable.

If it hadn't been for its injuries being so severe back then, unable to exert even a billionth of its power, it would have been Lin Moyu who died.

Thinking back now, Lin Moyu realized how truly daring he had been back then.

It wasn't that his skill was high and thus he was brave, but rather that ignorance knew no fear.

Suddenly, the star core of the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast flew up on its own, heading towards a certain part of the space.

Lin Moyu was curious and followed it.

Waves of immense power came at him, trying to push him away, but Lin Moyu didn't move an inch.

He followed the star core to the depths of the space, where he saw a Starry Sky Beast.

The Starry Sky Beast looked exactly like the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast, only much smaller and appearing quite young.

However, Lin Moyu sensed a kind of strength from this small Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast, not strength in power, but strength in bloodline.

This small beast had an extremely noble bloodline.

Lin Moyu recognized at a glance that the small beast did not belong to the great world, but came from outside the world.

Back then, the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast had been summoned by the Soul Spirit Race with the power of their entire race. Perhaps it came from another world.

The star core flew towards the small beast. Lin Moyu didn't know if the small beast would pose a danger to him after obtaining the star core, so he suddenly reached out and grabbed the star core.

At this moment, the space trembled slightly, and a human figure emerged from the small beast.

Lin Moyu looked at him, "It's you!"

He looked exactly the same as the Soul Spirit Race member who had left the ancient box in the Soul Spirit warship in the outer realm.

It wasn't that their appearances were the same, but that their souls were the same.

So Lin Moyu was 100% certain that they were the same person.

"That person was right, someone really would bring back the star core of the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast."

"That person?" Lin Moyu's first reaction was that "that person" referred to the mysterious master.

The only one who could calculate so accurately was the mysterious master, no one else.

The Soul Spirit Race member looked at Lin Moyu, "You've already obtained the box, right?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "I have."

The Soul Spirit Race member continued, "I've fulfilled my promise to that person. I hope you can also fulfill what that person promised me."

"What did he promise you?" Lin Moyu asked.

The Soul Spirit Race member said, "To return the star core to us."

Lin Moyu looked at him, and after a moment said, "I can return the star core to you, but I have a request. I want to know the detailed process."

The other person had been in contact with the mysterious master. Through him, perhaps he could learn something about the mysterious master.

The Soul Spirit Race member sighed, "So much time has passed. Actually, what you want to know is meaningless. That person is no longer here."

Lin Moyu smiled, "You made a deal with him, and you're making a deal with me now. Tell me what happened back then, and I'll return the star core to you."

The Soul Spirit Race member had no choice. He was now just a wisp of a soul. If Lin Moyu didn't want to keep his promise, he could do nothing about it. So he chose to make a deal with Lin Moyu.

"Back then, our Soul Spirit Race was bewitched by the Black Blood Great Realm and betrayed the Human Race."

"But opinions within the clan were not unified. At that time, the clan was divided into two factions. One faction still stood with the Human Race, while the other declared war on the Human Race."

"When the Human Race's army arrived, bringing the disaster of racial extinction, they finally summoned the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast at a great cost."

"The Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast was very powerful. It destroyed the army that was suppressing us, but it was also severely injured and on the verge of death."

"But it was after all our progenitor beast, our origin. We couldn't watch it die."

"So we made a decision to once again gather the power of our entire race to heal it."

"The Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast's injuries were too severe to heal, so it split itself, creating a small beast."

"As long as we gave the star core to the small beast after its death, the small beast could become the second Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast."

"But then he came. He sealed the small beast and also sealed the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast, putting it into hibernation, unable to even die."

"The last of the clan's power was also erased by him, leaving only me."

"Just when I thought I was going to die, he proposed a deal."

"He had me take the Soul Spirit warship to the outer realm, carrying a box, waiting for someone."

"He said that person would come after a million years, and I should give the box to him. This way, we could get back the star core of the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast."

"Later, I did as he said, waiting for you for two million years."

The Soul Spirit Race member finished explaining the whole process in detail. Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Didn't you ever doubt?"

The Soul Spirit Race member said with some resignation, "I had no choice. But from the moment you appeared in the Soul Spirit Realm, killed the Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast, and took away the star core, I knew he wasn't wrong."

Lin Moyu still had doubts, "Do you know why he chose you at that time?"

The Soul Spirit Race member said, "I know. It's because our Soul Spirit Race can self-seal our souls and can wait for hundreds of millions of years. Other races don't have this ability!"

"Your Human Race's Heavenly Venerables can do it too, but obviously he didn't want a Heavenly Venerable to do this. I don't know the specific reason."

Lin Moyu understood very clearly why. Heavenly Venerables could indeed do it, but they wouldn't, and they couldn't necessarily be trusted.

Lin Moyu said, "The Soul Spirit Progenitor Beast was summoned from another world, right?"

The Soul Spirit Race member nodded, "It should be. This is an ancestral technique, only used when the race is in danger. The cost is too great."

It seemed that there were other secrets in the Soul Spirit Race, secrets that perhaps even they themselves didn't know.

The Soul Spirit Race member looked at Lin Moyu nervously, or more accurately, at the star core in Lin Moyu's hand, and said softly, "Do you have any more questions?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "No more. Now I'll return the star core to you."

He released the star core, which automatically flew towards the small beast.
