Chapter 56 - Guidance

The process of creating an undying soul spirit is not difficult, but once this is done, it will trigger a battle for soul spirits.

From the past practice of killing soul masters to obtain soul bones, to killing soul masters to obtain rare soul spirits, these are all very likely to happen.

The soul beasts naturally rejoice at humans killing each other. The more soul masters that die, the better it is for the soul beasts. This is a great boon for them.

But for soul masters, it is a calamity, especially for ordinary soul masters and genius soul masters.

However, if after a soul master dies, their soul spirit is transmitted to a small world belonging to the soul spirits, it would greatly reduce the possibility of the soul spirit being snatched away.

When these soul spirits that enter the small world are chosen by humans again, it is also the time for them to choose humans.

Thinking of this, Zhongli frowned, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Humans choose soul spirits, soul spirits choose humans, and finally, an equal contract is signed.

Suddenly, a term appeared in Zhongli's consciousness.

"Soul Spirit Secret Realm!"

Thinking of this, Zhongli turned his head to look at Gu Yuena and said, "I have some understanding of this matter and need to put it into practice."

Gu Yuena was stunned. As expected of Zhongli, he had come up with a solution in such a short time!

She suddenly remembered what Paimon had said during their casual chat!

When Zhongli says things like "slightly understand" or "slightly have," it means he has a well-thought-out plan, either reaching the pinnacle or being extremely confident!

This old man is just being modest!

Think about it, 98% success rate can be described by Zhongli as: "This matter may have some risks..."

This man not only looks steady, but his attributes are steady, and he does things steadily too!

The weight of rocks is reassuring!

As expected of the Geo God.

"Since Zhongli you have a well-thought-out plan, I will definitely fully support this matter!"

Gu Yuena said with a determined expression.

Zhongli: "???"

Rarely, a look of confusion appeared on Zhongli's face, even with a hint of bewilderment.

This time, he really only had a slight understanding!

Seeing Gu Yuena's expression, Zhongli's eye twitched, but he didn't say much, just nodded in response to Gu Yuena.

Could it be that this Silver Dragon King has imagined something?

Snow Woman and Ice Empress exchanged glances, though confused, they were greatly shocked.

To come up with a solution so easily?

As expected of the Martial God!

Gu Yuena did not stay long in the Far North. She had many things to deal with, so shortly after leaving the Far North, she bid farewell to Zhongli and the others before departing.

Gu Yuena flew towards the Star Dou Great Forest. After returning, she would share this good news with her subjects.

As for Zhongli, Liyue had already started and was officially developing, so there was nothing much for him to do. He and Paimon were more like "mascots" in Liyue.

"Zhongli, are we going back to Liyue now?"

Paimon looked at Zhongli with eager eyes, rubbing her little hands.

They had agreed to come out to play, but she had only "donated blood" twice, and didn't get to play at all!

Isn't this deceiving Paimon?

She is so clever, how could she be deceived?

Zhongli glanced sideways at Paimon and said, "There's nothing urgent, so traveling for a while is fine."

Hearing this, Paimon was thrilled and hugged Zhongli's arm, saying, "Zhongli, Paimon knew you are the best!"

"Hehe, finally, there will be delicious food again!"

Hearing this, Zhongli was speechless.

Does Paimon want to travel or eat delicious food?

At this moment, Snow Woman and Ice Empress also appeared beside Paimon.

Ice Empress was still that height of a little over 1.5 meters, looking like a tsundere girl.

As for Snow Woman, she had also taken human form, even though she was originally a humanoid soul beast.

In human form, Snow Woman was about 1.78 meters tall, a head taller than Ice Empress, looking like a gentle big sister.

"Greetings, Martial God!" ×2

"No need for such formalities, just call me Zhongli."

Hearing this, the two Ice and Snow Empress were stunned but did not object.

Addressing Zhongli as Martial God was a sign of respect from the weak to the strong.

Since the Martial God said so, it was better to call him by his "human" name.

Suddenly, Zhongli seemed to think of something, looked at Paimon, and finally sighed.

If he were traveling alone, transforming into countless forms would be no problem, as when traveling, one's identity is self-given.

But bringing Paimon along was different.

Such a miraculous "soul" could not be found anywhere else in the Douluo Continent.

Anyone who had heard of his deeds would hardly not know Paimon.

"Forget it, the way I acted before was indeed time to step down. What Liyue needs now is not the retired Zhongli, but the Geo Archon sitting on the divine throne."

Understanding this, Zhongli said no more and casually chose a direction to walk.

Snow Woman, Ice Empress, and Paimon quickly followed Zhongli's steps, heading towards the human world.

Ten thousand years ago, the Far North was shielded by the Icebound Forest, making it a little-known pure land.

Ten thousand years later, the Icebound Forest had disappeared, exposing the Far North to human sight.

For the soul beasts of the Far North, this was not a good thing.

The Far North bordered the Heaven Spirit Empire, and after leaving the Far North, they entered the territory of the Heaven Spirit Empire.

The direction Zhongli chose was not truly random!

In the depths of his mind, it seemed as if a voice was guiding him.

This voice was somewhat weak, very similar to the one he had heard in Shrek City.

If Zhongli was not mistaken, the owner of this voice should be the consciousness of the Douluo Plane!

It had not yet been completely devoured by A Yin, nor had it been replaced by Tang Hao.

Perhaps due to the last battle, it had gained a slight chance to catch its breath.

"Plane consciousness..."

Zhongli was well aware of Tang San's schemes.

Such schemes that disregarded living beings could be covered up with the phrase "a ten-thousand-year plan."

In order to scheme for the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Child of Destiny, he even went so far as to split his own daughter's soul into three.

For personal gain, to do such things.

Truly...

"Forget it, those who are unworthy will eventually be consumed by their own power."

"If you behave, that's fine. If you don't..."

"I am also slightly skilled in martial arts!"

A mere Tang God King is not worth Zhongli's scheming.

If he doesn't behave, suppressing him for tens of thousands of years will make him behave.

If he still doesn't behave, killing him is simple.

Zhongli would not hesitate to kill evil beings.

"On the way back, I might as well visit Shrek Academy to see that Golden Ancient Tree."

Zhongli thought to himself.

"Achoo~"

In an unknown place, a vegetable farmer sneezed, feeling an ominous premonition!

"I wonder if that Martial God will oppose Little San. Little San is really something, willing to lose face and reputation rather than fight this Martial God, sigh."
