Chapter 365 Soul-Returning Flower

"Is this the Siren?"

"Why does it look like shark chili!"

Within the seal, three sirens were walking and chatting, and behind them, a vague figure loomed.

The two sides were only a few meters apart, but the three sea monsters didn't notice it at all.

…

"Stop looking around!"

"Even if there was something good here originally, after thousands of years of erosion by the evil spirit, it has turned into scrap metal!"

"Look, this guy was at least a gold-level life form when he was alive, but now his bones are not as hard as coral!"

Click, the old sea monster crushed a huge head with one foot, and casually scolded the little sea monster looking around behind him.

The latter was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his eyes and never dared to look at him again.

…

"Although we Kraken are in dire straits now, you must always remember that we are a more powerful civilization than humans now."

"Don't look at the current prosperity of human civilization, but there will be a day when the sun sets and dusk comes."

"So we just need to wait, and we can only wait, and we will definitely be able to wait until the day comes."

"And the creation within the seal is the key to the reproduction of our race."

As he passed some dilapidated buildings with weird shapes, the old siren's eyes were full of sadness.

Because this was the last remnant of their Siren Civilization, but unfortunately it became a battlefield and was destroyed by Mu Dingtian.

Out of her inner mission and responsibility, she began to instill the greatness of Siren civilization into her two younger generations.

…

"At the peak of our Siren civilization, we were the top Six Tribulations civilization. We were only one step away from becoming a high-level civilization."

"If you want to achieve higher civilization, there are three ways to go."

"The first path is to gather the strength of billions and billions to serve one person."

"Gather all the strength of the group to worship a true [god]. This is called the method of worshiping gods."

"The second path is to upgrade the soul and improve the soul scale of the entire ethnic group."

"As long as the soul scale of the entire ethnic group is raised to 9, the transformation of the entire ethnic group can be achieved."

"At that time, even newly born individuals will be able to naturally awaken spiritually and master extraordinary power."

"As for this third road, our Siren civilization has never found it."

"And what our Kraken civilization has chosen is the second path."

"It's a pity that just when we were about to succeed, we encountered a sneak attack and suppression by an unknown entity, which directly knocked down the soul of our race."

"If it weren't for the profound foundation of our Kraken civilization, the soul scale of our race's soul would have dropped below 0!"

The old siren looked back on the past with a look of resentment and unwillingness.

If they sirens could be promoted successfully back then, humans would be their pawns now.

Why am I living so miserable every day now?

…

"There are three routes to advance to higher civilization?"

"The soul scale of the Siren race has been knocked down. No wonder there are problems with civilization!"

"It seems that this sea monster is also a lucky person, otherwise he would be reduced to being with the orcs."

Chen Qi, who was following closely behind them, naturally heard the old siren's words clearly.

It is indeed a civilization that has once been vast, and it knows a lot of things.

However, the Six Tribulations Civilization, [God Level], was a concept that Chen Qi had never heard of before.

It's a shame that the old siren didn't explain much. Chen Qi was confused and could only guess.

…

Chen Qi really has no idea about the Six Tribulations Civilization and can’t even guess it.

But as for the divine level, I can still more or less guess it. It should be the realm above the holy realm.

But it will definitely not be equal to the god-like, or even lower than the god-like.

Although there are not many records about godlike beings in the college library, they all emphasize that "like godlike beings are naturally powerful. They are born this way and cannot be surpassed by acquired cultivators."

In the descriptions of some ancient civilizations, gods are regarded as [innate gods], the first batch of beings created by the Creator.

Unfortunately, this is just the imagination of many dead civilizations.

After all, gods are too powerful, and just contact with them may cause the destruction of civilization.

What kind of existence godlike beings are, what many civilizations have discovered is just the tip of the iceberg, and blind people are trying to figure out the elephant.

Detailed descriptions and specific information about the gods are not even recorded in writing.

Because it simply cannot carry that kind of information structure.

…

"Mommy, what exactly is the creation within the seal?"

"Can we really still grow the tribe?"

The timid little siren interrupted the old siren's recollection. Although the sealed place was not dangerous, it was too dead and desolate.

Can such a broken place really have good fortune?

…

"Humph, what do you know? Of course there will be luck!"

"The reason why Mu Dingtian imprisoned his enemies here was not just to vent his anger and torture them."

"The more important thing is to use their souls and life sources to create a magical existence [Resurrection Flower]."

"The Soul-Returning Flower was originally a product of our Siren civilization's research on soul dimensionality, so Mu Ding Genius would occupy this holy land of ours."

"Because only with the help of certain arrangements here can he create the [Resurrection Flower]."

"It's a pity that Mu Dingtian was unlucky after all. He fell into the outer world without waiting for the birth of the [Returning Soul Flower]."

When talking about the fall of Mu Dingtian, the old siren was filled with joy.

After her narration, Chen Qi finally understood what kind of existence the [Returning Soul Flower] was.

…

The soul is located in a higher dimension, which is too difficult to sense and study.

Therefore, the beginning of the study of the soul by intelligent civilization usually starts from the soul shadow.

But the Siren civilization wants to study the soul of the entire tribe, and naturally cannot only study its own soul shadow.

So the soul shadows of those dead tribesmen became the best research material.

Unfortunately, it was not until this time that the Siren civilization realized that the soul shadows of their tribesmen after their death had all fallen into the hands of the death god of the underworld.

After several battles, the Siren civilization finally redeemed some "unused soul shadows" from the hands of the death god.

And they made three rules with the death gods, not to continue to harvest soul shadows from the territory of the Siren civilization, not to continue to study the soul of the Siren civilization, and not to reveal the secrets of the Siren civilization soul to any existence.

The death gods were naturally very unhappy, but the Siren civilization was at its peak at that time, and they had to accept these humiliating conditions.

In the end, the Siren civilization completely fell and was thrown into the abyss.

…

Afterwards, after the Siren civilization reflected on it, they believed that the biggest mistake they made was that they were not "ruthless" enough, not decisive enough, and did not completely eradicate the death god in that underworld.

The reason why they had an accident when their souls were upgraded was definitely related to the death gods.

The Siren civilization, which suffered a great loss, was naturally unable to retaliate, so they began to constantly promote the harm of the death gods in the underworld in human civilization.

This is also the root cause of why V5 ​​had a very unpleasant relationship with the death gods in the underworld.

…

The so-called soul-returning flower is a strange object developed by the Siren civilization that can forcibly summon back the "soul shadow of a person who just died" from the underworld.

This is a targeted means developed by the Siren civilization before it reached a reconciliation with the underworld.

In a sense, using the soul-returning flower in combination with some other means can even make people "resurrect from the dead and return to the world."

After the decline of the Siren civilization, the method of making the Soul-Returning Flower fell into the hands of human civilization and was used by many powerful beings as a means of saving their lives.

The reason why Mu Dingtian refined the Soul-Returning Flower was to save his life.

Unfortunately, it was not used.

…

"We are now in the human territory, and the God of Death can't take a single step here, so the Soul-Returning Flower's Soul-Returning Effect is useless to us."

"But its petals can stimulate the communication of our Siren souls and allow us to give birth to intelligent offspring."

"A Soul-Returning Flower has 3,600 petals, which is enough to strengthen our tribe."

The old Siren became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had seen herself leaving the East Beric Strait after obtaining the Soul-Returning Flower and expanding her tribe.

She was happy here, but Chen Qi, who was eavesdropping on the side, was depressed.

…

After hearing about the effect of the Soul-Returning Flower for the first time, Chen Qi had countless thoughts in his mind.

Unfortunately, the old Siren's next words completely shattered all his fantasies.

Within the territory ruled by humans, as long as all humans die, the shadow of their souls will be completely wiped out by the power of heaven and earth.

This is the measure taken by humans to prevent themselves from repeating the mistakes of the sea monster civilization.

At the same time, the world government also issued a convention prohibiting large-scale research and collection of human soul data in private.

This is the area that the Sword of Judgment focuses on, and many heads are chopped off every year.

So even if Chen Qi obtains the Soul Returning Flower, don't expect to "resurrect" others.

The resurrection here refers to resurrecting dead humans into humans again.

As for the transformation into aliens, the world government is too lazy to care at all, after all, they will be killed by the Sword of Judgment sooner or later.

...

"Alas, what a pity!"

Although the value of the Soul Returning Flower has plummeted, the immortal cells seem to be targeting this strange item, so Chen Qi can only continue to follow the three sea monsters.

Along the way, you can see piles of bones everywhere.

These guys must have been very powerful when they were alive, as they can still retain some of their original appearance after thousands of years of erosion by the evil spirit of the earth.

Unfortunately, these bones are just for show. Not only are they rotten and brittle, but the bone marrow is also hollowed out, making them worthless.

Finally, after some hardships and ups and downs, Chen Qi followed the three sirens and finally entered a cave.

…

"Tap, tap!"

The footsteps echoed in the deep cave, but there were clearly four figures, but only three people made the sound when they walked.

"The murals on the walls around here record many past events of our siren civilization. You must take a look at them."

"Even if we decline and decline, we cannot abandon the past history."

"As long as we persist, we will definitely be able to wait until the day when the siren civilization revives."

The old siren walking in the cave had a solemn feeling of pilgrimage.

Under her influence, the other two sirens dared not breathe, but just stared at the paintings on the rock wall.

Like them, there was also Chen Qi.

Chen Qi is now very interested in the past of the siren civilization.

…

The things depicted on the rock wall are not complicated.

In the beginning, the Sirens were in the form of colorful little fish.

At that time, the Sirens civilization was just a sojourner on the coral reefs.

Later, as the Siren civilization developed, they became larger and larger, and eventually became the overlord of the ocean.

At that time, the Siren had a human head and a fish tail, which was extremely beautiful.

In the second stage of the development of the Siren civilization, they began to land on the earth, and the fish tail turned into two feet.

If it weren't for the fact that they still retained the form of fish gills, they would look exactly like humans today.

Interestingly, Chen Qi saw the appearance of "humans" in the murals of this stage.

But I don't know if the Siren is "uglifying" humans. At that time, humans really didn't look like humans at all.

If it weren't for the Siren who carved the murals and marked them quite kindly, Chen Qi would have thought it was a new species of monster!

...

In the third stage of the Siren civilization, they had already sprinted towards the sky.

The fins on their bodies actually evolved into colorful wings.

No one can associate those beautiful figures flying in the sky with the small fish on the bottom of the sea.

The evolution and changes of intelligent civilization are really incredible.

…

“Found it, finally found it!”

“There are three soul-returning flowers, our tribe has hope!”

On an altar at the deepest part of the cave, three flowers blooming like black flames stood quietly.

The moment he saw the black flowers, Chen Qi felt the throbbing of his soul shadow.

Of course, the immortal cells were even more excited.

Chen Qi was now extremely sure that the immortal cells wanted to devour the soul-returning flowers.

Considering that the ability of this golden bloodline is also related to the soul shadow, this is not surprising.

…

In the following time, the three sirens worked hard and finally completed the picking and preservation of the soul-returning flowers.

This is not a simple matter. Without special secrets, the soul-returning flowers will be destroyed the moment they are touched.

“Good, good, good!”

“It’s done, God will not let us down!”

The old siren held the crystal jade box in her hand, with tears in her eyes.

But the next moment, she was stunned.

Because a big hand appeared out of nowhere and took the jade box containing the Soul-Returning Flower from her hand.

…

"Ahem, can I say that this treasure is destined for me, so I can't help it?"

Inside the cave, four figures were on edge, and the scene was extremely solemn.

Chen Qi, who was confronting the three sea monsters, looked depressed. He really didn't expect things to turn out like this.

After the old sea monster harvested the Soul-Returning Flower, Chen Qi certainly couldn't be humble, and then he reached out and took it without hesitation.

Chen Qi thought very simply. He was now invisible in space, and the other party couldn't see him. After taking it, he just left.

However, what Chen Qi didn't expect was that after he touched the jade box, his spatial invisibility ability actually failed.

So Chen Qi appeared in front of the three sea monsters.

…

"Damn it, the spatial ability of my clone is still too weak!"

"As long as it is disturbed or loaded, it will no longer be able to perfectly distort the surrounding space."

"At this stage, this is just a more advanced invisibility technique!"

After a little induction, Chen Qi came to a conclusion.

And this conclusion is quite reasonable. After all, Chen Qi initially only fused the active cells of more than a dozen space-time spirits.

If time and space can be distorted at will and transmitted infinitely, then there will be problems.

The only thing to blame is that Chen Qi chased too closely and had no time to test his own abilities in detail.

So now it's embarrassing!

…

"Get out of here, you dare to steal the sacred objects of my clan!"

"Let's do it together!"

"Go to hell!"

In Chen Qi's cognition, everyone can still talk about it, at most they have to spend some money, after all, these sea monsters are still hard-working.

But the sea monsters don't think so!

They worked hard to get the sacred objects that continued the race, but they were robbed like this?

What can be tolerated?

After determining that the creature in front of them was a strange alien, the three sirens launched an attack directly.

Three terrifying energy beams rose from their hands and hit Chen Qi's body directly.

…

"I, I am..."

At the moment of the attack, Chen Qi explained in "horror".

I am a human!

Are these three sirens blind?

Or can they completely break their promise and attack humans at will?

At that moment, Chen Qi fell into deep confusion.

…

"Kill you!"

The three sirens didn't want to listen to Chen Qi's nonsense. Not only did they attack without hesitation, but they were more decisive.

They had already seen that the guy in front of them was a little "stupid" and seemed to be confused about the situation.

Bang!

Chen Qi was hit by three beams of light and was directly knocked hundreds of meters away and smashed heavily into the rock wall.

Crack, crack!

At the same time, three golden lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere and chopped on the foreheads of the three sirens.

Without any resistance, the three sirens turned into ashes.

And their expressions at the last moment of their lives perfectly demonstrated what it means to fall from heaven to hell.

…

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

"We are friendly forces!"

"Ahem!"

Chen Qi climbed out of the stone wall in a rather embarrassed manner. Fortunately, he was quick and hid the Soul Returning Flower in the space ring.

However, when he saw it, the three sirens had turned into ashes, and Chen Qi couldn't help but feel deeply regretful.

After all, the old mermaid knew a lot, what a waste!

…

But what made Chen Qi feel strange was why they didn't recognize their human identity?

Was it because his technique of making clones was too advanced?

It was possible, after all, he applied the immortal item One Foot Immortal Vein.

Or were the three mermaids ignorant?

It was also possible, after all, they had been staying in the East Beric Strait.

But the most important thing was that Chen Qi felt that the punishment of the World Government was too harsh.

These mermaids did not enjoy human rights at all, and they used the immortal thunder to ward off evil spirits when they attacked, fearing that they could not kill them all!

…

Alas, Chen Qi, who sighed, originally planned to help the mermaids collect their relics, but found that they were so poor that they only had ashes left.

After all, this was their holy land, so they should return to dust.

But the next moment, Chen Qi regretted his saintly heart.

I should have stepped on it again!

Because with the death of the three mermaids, the cave began to collapse, and not only that, the entire seal began to shrink.

This is not a good sign, but a plan to bury Chen Qi completely under the sea.

This must be the old sea monster doing evil.

…

Boom!

A greater turbulence occurred in the seabed, and the East Beric Strait was in turmoil again.

Seven days later, Chen Qi broke free from the seabed with a very dark face and floated to the surface of the sea.

The reason why Chen Qi was so dark was that there was only one person left to protect.

Which unlucky guy died?
