As Qian Renxue had thought,
Li Yu had no interest in power or governing the empire.
He didn't want to go bald.
Moreover, in a world where personal strength reigns supreme, it was even less likely for him to care about the so-called imperial throne.
Therefore, after setting the date for "today," Qian Renxue became busy, while Li Yu himself had some leisure time.
Of course, he was still quite busy in the evening...
At this moment,
Li Yu was alone within the Spatial Domain.
[Level: 82]
[Reward Settlement: Obtained 4000 years of free distribution]
[Free Distribution Years: 339,000 years]
[Spirit Schedule: 9/10]
Looking at the flashing prompt, Li Yu waved his hand, and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, which he had casually thrown into the Spatial Domain earlier, fell into his hand.
"Just one more soul bone," Li Yu murmured. "I hope this doesn't disappoint me!"
Then he closed his eyes slightly, channeling both his spiritual and soul power into the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
A vast and boundless life force immediately flooded into his perception.
Within it, there was also a trace of hostility!
"Silver?" Li Yu frowned and instinctively whispered.
This hostility could only come from Silver, the being who had created this soul bone.
Clearly, when he took this soul bone from Tang San, a fragment of Silver's consciousness that remained in the bone naturally held animosity toward him.
After all, Tang San was her child.
After Li Yu spoke, the hostility seemed to pause for a moment, almost as if confused, before stopping briefly.
It seemed that she couldn't understand how this woman, who killed her child and took her soul bone, could know her name.
After Li Yu obtained the soul bone, he sealed it and threw it into the Spatial Domain.
Therefore, Silver was unaware of what happened afterward.
Now that it had been unsealed again, during Li Yu fusion process, she couldn't sense the deep, inherent connection with her bloodline and naturally assumed that Tang San had been killed by Li Yu.
"You..." Silver's faint, residual consciousness couldn't convey complete information.
But the emotion was quite intense.
Li Yu could guess what she was asking, so he said, "You don't need to know how I know your name. I only ask you, until now, do you still not see what kind of people Tang Hao and Tang San are?"
He paused. "Yes, Tang San is your child, but during the time you spent with him, what did you see?"
"Did he turn out the way you expected?"
Silver's consciousness fell silent.
Li Yu knew she hadn't dissipated, so he continued, "Tang Xiao once told me that if he returned your soul bone, he would help me hide Xiao Wu secret as a soul beast."
"Of course, he never had the chance to say it, but you should analyze his intentions."
"And the first person to know that Xiao Wu is a soul beast was Tang Hao. If Tang Xiao knows, then naturally Tang Hao told him. You can think for yourself about his intentions."
At this point, Li Yu confidently asked, "You should know about Xiao Wu, right?"
Tang San performance in the fifth round undoubtedly showed that he had known about Tang Hao and the others' arrival long before.
In other words, they had contact during this time.
Li Yu didn't believe that Tang Hao would not tell Tang San the secret about Xiao Wu when it came to such a crucial point.
Since Silver's consciousness was still within the soul bone, she could certainly learn of it as well.
After Li Yu finished speaking, Silver's consciousness remained silent again.
"I know your original body is still alive, and I can help you 'revive'," Li Yu finally said.
Whether it was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or the Life Element he controlled, reviving Silver wasn't too difficult.
Of course, the premise was that she didn't become an enemy.
Additionally, the "Gate of Life" would need to be planted, as Li Yu wasn't a fool.
"..." Silver's emotions suddenly became agitated, but still, she couldn't transmit complete consciousness.
However, Li Yu didn't need to fully understand.
Her consciousness soon dissipated, and the fusion continued without any obstruction, even as "she" seemed to actively cooperate.
Of course, even if she didn't actively dissipate, for Li Yu, the fusion wasn't difficult at all.
[Fusion Complete!]
[Metamorphosis in Progress…]
[Metamorphosis Complete!]
[Soul Bone] —
[Spirit Forest Right Leg Bone] 100,000 years
[Master of the Forest: Use the power of the forest to become its master.]
"Forest... forest and prairie?" Li Yu murmured. This was a domain-type auxiliary skill.
For his current strength, this skill didn't have much impact on his combat ability,
But it was still undoubtedly a very strong skill.
However...
Li Yu hadn't even had a chance to feel its power when the next prompt flashed before his eyes.
[Spirit Schedule: 10/10 [Completed]]
[Spirit Schedule Complete!]
[Reward: All soul rings and soul bones' years increased by 100,000 years, and the soul bone set has transformed into the Elemental Spirit Set!]
Just as the prompt flashed,
Li Yu felt that the Spirit Forest Right Leg Bone he had just fused, as well as the other soul bones he had fused before, were being stripped away.
Then, the head bone, torso bones, limbs, and spirit wings all melted into liquid and gathered before Li Yu as colorful orbs.
Soon after, the Spirit Ornament, Dark Demon Spirit Guardian, and Dark Gold Spirit Claws also fell into the orbs.
However, they didn't melt.
At the same time, a prompt appeared before Li Yu.
[Soul Ring] —
[First Soul Ring] 200,000 years, Ice Blue, Water Element Control, Elemental Affinity 100%
[...]
[Eighth Soul Ring] 200,000 years, Red, Gold Element Control, Elemental Affinity 100%
Eight soul rings, all reaching 200,000 years in age, now had two golden stripes on each.
In the next moment,
The color of the orbs in front of Li Yu had unified, turning into pure and crystalline white.
Two points of light fell out, and the pure white orb flowed towards Li Yu.
The liquid spread over Li Yu entire body, merging into his form, sinking into his bones, fully integrating with him.
The two points of light also gathered before Li Yu. Though they didn't "merge" into his body, they still gave him the sensation of controlling them like his own limbs.
Moreover, the Spirit Ornament and Dark Gold Spirit Claws had actually fused together!
This was why, even though three items had fallen, only two points of light emerged.
A prompt appeared shortly afterward:
[Soul Bone] —
[Elemental Spirit Set] 500,000 years
[External Soul Bone] —
[Elemental Spirit Claws] 500,000 years
[Elemental Spirit Guardian] 200,000 years
"..." Li Yu was speechless.
The Elemental Spirit Set contained seven parts: head, torso, limbs, and wings.
The seven soul bones fused together to form the current Elemental Spirit Set.
But at the same time, their quality had also been "integrated"!
