The temptation of power is self-evident.
And the young man in front of Wen Yu opened a new door for him.
This was not merely about relying on skills and physical attributes; rather, it was about using skills as a foundation to develop more power—stronger power, a way of utilizing energy that was closer to the essence of energy.
Therefore, Wen Yu did not hesitate to bow down.
In the face of benefits, lowering one's head was nothing to Wen Yu.
"Do you really want to learn?"
The young man's voice came, and Wen Yu immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing Wen Yu's state, the demon lord had an expressionless face, but deep inside, he sighed softly.
This kid, although he was chosen by himself, truly had no grace in either personality or temper. It seemed that this fellow had some similarities with Bai.
"It's not impossible to teach you..."
The demon lord pondered for a moment before decisively speaking.
"But you need to help me with something."
"I will do my utmost!"
Wen Yu quickly agreed.
Instead, it was the demon lord who waved his hand.
"Don't be anxious, let me finish my words."
Saying this, the demon lord's soul form sat in front of Wen Yu. Looking at Wen Yu’s deliberately determined eyes, he wanted to laugh but had to pretend not to understand Wen Yu's little thoughts. He pointed at the huge light sphere behind him and slowly spoke.
"Do you know what that thing behind you is?"
"It's a collection of soul power, right? Yes, it should be something like that."
"Do you know who created this thing? And what it is used for?"
Wen Yu fell silent; how could he possibly know these things?
"This thing, as you have perceived, is a collection of soul power. Its function is equivalent to a huge container for storing soul energy. Once the owner’s soul energy is depleted, it can absorb the stored soul energy inside to restore and enhance its own soul."
"As for the source of this soul energy..."
At this point, the demon lord smiled mysteriously at Wen Yu: "The souls from the outside Immortal Heroic World, every time one dies, their soul energy will be absorbed by this light sphere. The light points you just saw are the soul energy of the deceased Immortal Heroic World souls."
Hearing this, Wen Yu immediately shivered.
The demon lord had not finished his words.
"So now you can understand who orchestrated this grand scheme, right?"
"Heavenly Dao..."
Wen Yu murmured this name. No wonder the Heavenly Dao created this hunting reward plan; no wonder it wanted those participating in the hunting reward plan to kill each other. At its core, it just wanted these participants to become nourishment for its soul...
There might even be various "plans" and "war actions" being implemented under the Heavenly Dao's orchestration in places Wen Yu was unaware of. Every indigenous person from the Immortal Heroic World who died would supplement the light sphere with a portion of soul energy.
Until finally...
"The people of the Immortal Heroic World have become mere props. Even if revived by the Soul Orb's power, their own souls will still bear significant flaws."
The demon lord did not consider Wen Yu's thoughts and continued speaking.
"The Heavenly Dao naturally cannot escape this rule. The current Heavenly Dao has significant weaknesses and flaws in its soul, but this light sphere is enough to compensate for the weaknesses in the Heavenly Dao's soul. At that time, the Heavenly Dao will be completely resurrected in a state of a complete soul!"
"Of course, even if it is completely revived, the Heavenly Dao will still bear the characteristics of a prop. After all... a level eleven transcendent strongman, no matter how strong, cannot escape the control of the sovereign."
"However, the Immortal Heroic World has a means..."
"It's called soul takeover..."
"As for whether one can escape the limitations of being a prop after the soul takeover, I’m not too sure. However, this is undoubtedly the only method with hope for a complete 'death and rebirth'!"
After finishing, the demon lord immediately fell silent, looking at Wen Yu with a strange expression.
