Zhu Yanyi paused, then continued, "Then they let mid-level evil spirits kill each other to create high-level ones. Step by step, until ten King Evil Spirits appear. They fight until only one remains. That winner swallows the raw stone, changes itself, and becomes a Creator God."
Zhan Diting told Zhu Yanyi everything she knew, very clearly.
Zhu Yanyi’s mouth twitched. "Are their brains too simple, or do they think we are too stupid?"
"Huh?" Zhan Diting didn’t understand.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "I mean, they think we are too simple. Otherwise, why would they try to conquer us?"
"It’s not that they are simple. They accidentally found that eating the souls of strong people like you helps them level up. That is why they attack you. Many of your companions were killed, and their souls were eaten." Zhan Diting said the cruel truth.
"(⊙o⊙)…" Zhu Yanyi wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
She already knew this from the plants. She just didn’t want the living to feel sad. But Zhan Diting was too careless.
She sighed inside. Well, everyone suffers. Knowing the truth now is not bad.
"What did you say? Was Fat Senior Brother’s soul eaten too?" Hong Mei’s face turned very pale.
"If they died on this battlefield, their souls were likely eaten." Zhan Diting did not lie, even seeing Hong Mei’s bad face.
"No!" Hong Mei shouted, tears falling fast. "Fat Senior Brother~"
People who knew Hong Mei understood her feelings for Fat Senior Brother. Hearing her soul was eaten, everyone who knew her cried.
Zhu Yanyi sighed and glared at Zhan Diting. "When did you become so talkative?"
"I just told them the truth." Zhan Diting smiled, then became serious. "I know what Little Sister-in-law means. Some things are past. But some things they must know. If evil spirits eat those souls, they might turn into those people’s shapes. How can they face that later? Better to face the truth now."
Zhu Yanyi knew Zhan Diting was right. No one knows what will happen in the future.
But Hong Mei’s silent crying was heartbreaking. It was like a cuckoo crying blood.
"Is there no way to save them?" Sikong Xuran asked, his eyes full of pity.
"Yes." Zhu Yanyi sighed. "There is one way, maybe."
"What way?" The sad crowd looked at Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Find the people who hold the Heaven, Earth, and Human Books. When we win this battle, let them pray together. Then, the eaten souls can be fixed and enter reincarnation to start again.
Because doing that means the Human Book admits they are human, the Earth Book allows them into the Underworld, and the Heaven Book allows them a next life. Only then can they be reborn."
"That is so hard." Everyone was stunned.
"I will find them." Hong Mei’s eyes were full of strength.
"We can look for the books slowly. But the problem now is how to cut the root here. We need to get that fingernail-sized Chaos Raw Stone first."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhan Diting unhappily. "Since you found it, why didn’t you steal it first?"
"I wanted to! But it is a Chaos Raw Stone. I am full of yin energy and not human. If I go near it, I become its food. I cannot get close." Zhan Diting sighed. He didn’t expect this either.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "Then, what kind of person can get close to that stone?"
"A person with a Chaos Physique." Zhan Diting said directly.
"Nonsense! Where am I supposed to find a person with a Chaos Physique?" Zhu Yanyi knew she had a Wood Physique. She glanced at Zhan Diting.
Zhan Diting took out a crystal and gave it to Zhu Yanyi. "Use this crystal to find them. If you meet a person with a Chaos Physique, the crystal will glow. This is a Chaos Crystal. It only works for Chaos Physique people."
As soon as Zhan Diting finished speaking, the crystal suddenly lit up. It flew up and flew toward Hong Mei.
Before others could notice, the crystal disappeared into Hong Mei’s body.
Everyone was stunned. Zhu Yanyi laughed dryly, then looked at Zhan Diting. Zhan Diting shrugged. "Don’t you have a ready-made Chaos Physique person here?" Her tone was so relaxed that Zhu Yanyi wanted to slap her.
"What do we do next?" Zhu Yanyi was speechless. She had to ask Zhan Diting.
Zhan Diting looked at Hong Mei, then said to Zhu Yanyi, "Get ready. We must find a way to enter the evil spirits’ inside and steal the stone."
Hong Mei looked at Zhan Diting. "If I do this, can I save my lover’s soul?"
"Yes." Zhan Diting nodded seriously. "If you succeed, your lover’s soul will be released. Then, if the owners of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Books give a chance, he can be reborn as a human."
"Good. I will go. How do we do it?" As long as she could save Fat Senior Brother, she was not afraid of any difficulty.
Zhan Diting looked at Hong Mei. "You must discuss first. Pick a time. I will take you inside the evil spirits. But there are many high-level evil spirits inside. The journey is very dangerous."
"I am not afraid of danger." Hong Mei was serious. "As long as I can save Fat Senior Brother’s soul, I am not afraid of any danger."
Hong Mei was always decisive. Now that she had decided, she was not afraid at all.
Seeing Hong Mei like this, Zhu Yanyi looked at Zhan Diting. "What is your plan? Just say it. Don’t hide it. If you don’t give me a plan I like, I will tell Aohan that you bullied me."
Hearing Zhu Yanyi twist the truth, Zhan Diting was speechless. "Little Sister-in-law, you cannot frame me like this."
If Yan Aohan heard Zhu Yanyi say she bullied her, Zhan Diting felt she would be thrown into some dark corner to suffer, no matter how capable she was.
