Chapter 331: Chapter 332: The Source

"That powerful?"

Andre looked at the Soul Saint Spirit, his expression full of disbelief.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. You, on the other hand, make me very curious. You clearly possess a Divine Bloodline, so why did you choose the path of a Wizard?"

The Soul Saint Spirit shook his head indifferently and looked at Andre, asking a question.

"Well, that’s a long story. The Wizards conquered my ancestors’ world and made it part of their domain."

"As someone who happened to awaken his ancestral Bloodline, what other path could I take besides a Wizard’s? Was I supposed to fight the entire world by myself?"

Andre looked at the Soul Saint Spirit and rolled his eyes.

"I see. It seems you had a pretty miserable time before!"

The Soul Saint Spirit nodded.

"Are you interested in abandoning the path of a Wizard and walking the path of your ancestors?"

"You possess a Divine Bloodline, and all your ancestors are dead. As long as you focus on excavating the Power within your Bloodline, it won’t be long before you become as powerful as they were."

Andre’s mouth twitched when he heard this.

’Great. He sees I have a trump card against his Soul Divine Technique, so now he’s trying to tempt me instead.’

"Sorry, I’m not interested. I’m quite well-liked by the elders at the academy."

Andre looked at the Soul Saint Spirit and shook his head.

"Don’t you want to avenge your ancestors?"

The Soul Saint Spirit looked at Andre, asking with great interest.

"Revenge? I’m a Level 3 Wizard. You want me to seek revenge against three Red Sun Wizards? I’d like to live a few more years, thank you very much!"

"Traitor to the Divine Bloodline."

The Soul Saint Spirit immediately accused Andre upon hearing his words.

"Say what you will. The most important thing for a person is to know their own limits. My Power hasn’t even reached the Morning Star level, yet you want me to seek revenge on three Red Sun Wizards? Even if I had water on the brain, I wouldn’t do that, okay!"

Andre rolled his eyes at the Soul Saint Spirit. ’He wasn’t about to fall for the Soul Saint Spirit’s trick.’

"Now, let’s get back to the original topic. As a God of the Soul, why did you disguise yourself as a God of Wisdom? And why didn’t you transfer your Soul to a new vessel before you died?"

Andre looked at the Soul Saint Spirit and directly stated the questions he wanted to ask.

"You’ve already said it all. What’s left for me to answer?"

The Soul Saint Spirit looked at Andre, raised an eyebrow, and then spoke.

"It’s related to the special nature of the path of the Soul."

Andre blinked and said it outright.

"That’s right. Even among those who walk the path of Deities, the path of the Soul is one feared, suspected, and despised by All Gods."

"You can’t blame All Gods for that. Who else is to blame but the ones who walked the path of the Soul before and ruined it for everyone?"

"They would indiscriminately rip out the Souls of other living beings, devouring them to become a part of their own Power."

"I remember a very famous Soul Tide incident in the Star Realm, started by a Soul Demon."

"In the short span of a year, he devoured the Souls of over a hundred worlds, nearly becoming a Demon Lord in the process."

"Another Soul Tide was started by a Demon. He was even more vicious, stealthily devouring the Souls of 10 World Groups and directly making himself the master of a Hell."

"Although that Demon was jointly obliterated by several powerful beings, the suffering caused by that Soul Tide still reverberates throughout the Star Realm."

Andre looked at the Soul Saint Spirit before him and directly recounted the "good deeds" of some of the characters who had previously walked the path of the Soul.

It was precisely these individuals who caused all who later walked the path of the Soul to suffer from the discrimination of others.

No one knows how the next Soul Tide will unfold.

But the Soul is also the core of most living beings. Without studying it, they would lack even the Ability to resist when facing such a disaster.

Thus, the path of the Soul is one that developed amidst a constant climate of hope and suspicion.

"Now, let’s talk about you again. Why didn’t you transfer your Soul into one of your spare bodies?"

Andre looked at the Soul Saint Spirit and posed the question once more.

"It’s simple. The distance was too great. At the time, when I participated in the expedition, I brought four spare bodies with me."

"But during the expedition, several Giant Dragons worked together and destroyed them one after another, leaving only the one you see now."

"The rest of my divine bodies are stored in my personal treasury."

"But the distance is too great. Even with my Soul-transferring Divine Art, I couldn’t cross such a vast distance to send my Soul back to my treasury."

The Soul Saint Spirit looked at Andre and very candidly explained why his Soul was residing within the Soul Blade instead of taking a new body and reappearing in the world.

"That makes sense." Andre nodded after hearing the Soul Saint Spirit’s reasoning.

"So what’s the deal with that Light Origin Divine Spirit? Was he so severely injured that he needed to refine an entire World Group?"

Andre looked at the Soul Saint Spirit and asked his next question.

"That Light Origin Divine Spirit is the great being who rules the 6th World Group."

"Since you are a Wizard who also possesses a Divine Bloodline, you should be well aware of how powerful the 6th World Group is among the All Living Beings World Group."

"As for why he wants to refine an entire World Group, you might not believe his purpose. It’s actually quite laughable."

"His goal is to lay the foundation for his most favored junior to become a True God."

"To lay the foundation for becoming a True God, you have to refine an entire World Group."

Andre’s jaw dropped when he heard what the Soul Saint Spirit said.

"Indeed. Who can stop him? He’s an Origin Deity, and on top of that, he rules the 6th World Group. Naturally, he can do whatever he wants."

"That’s not right, is it? The bloodline inheritance from ’Eight-tooth’ indicates that the world you three came from is in the 9th World Group. That’s two World Groups away from the 6th, with the 7th and 8th in between. Why would he conscript you for his operation?"

Andre looked at the Wisdom Saint Spirit before him and immediately pointed out the problem in the Soul Saint Spirit’s words.

"Eight-tooth?"

Hearing the name, the Soul Saint Spirit glanced at the Eight-toothed Giant Elephant lying nearby, a slight smile gracing his lips.

"Yes, we are from the 9th World Group. But when a Primordial Divine Spirit gives an order for a random conscription, who would defy the command of a Primordial Divine Spirit for the sake of some pitiful wretches?"

As the Soul Saint Spirit spoke, the smile on his lips turned into a bitter one.

"The oppression of Power!"

Andre couldn’t help but nod as he looked at the Soul Saint Spirit before him.
