Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”Wow~~~ This is truly tragic~~”

The ground was covered in bloodstains, dismembered beyond recognition, not even a recognizable chunk of flesh could be found, isn’t it tragic...

After confirming several times that Carmille had been dismembered completely, Cyclops reported this information to Wen Yu. Wen Yu merely pondered briefly, then ordered Cyclops to stay put while he linked a spiritual fluctuation to the Mountain Kui, instructing it to send a soul puppet to Spain.

A dead person, indeed, could keep a secret; however, this notion didn’t hold true in Wen Yu’s perspective! Possessing the Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill, Wen Yu could extract the information he desired from a corpse.

The waiting time was slightly longer than when Cyclops arrived. Cyclops was idle, glancing around left and right, attempting to find the owner of this place to exchange some words and hear about the events’ cause and effect — though once the soul puppet arrived, everything would come to light anyway, but idleness was still idleness, wasn’t it?

”Hey, hey, hey, are you there?”

Cyclops asked in a lowered voice, yet the entire forest gave no response — Spirit deliberately avoided Cyclops.

Seeing this, Cyclops immediately extended his perception ability, and although he didn’t find Spirit’s trace, Cyclops discovered another hidden secret deep within this forest.

The bottomless mysterious pit!

...

Cyclops did not move recklessly — compared to his curiosity, guarding here waiting for the soul puppet to extract memory was undoubtedly much more important, and the soul puppet didn’t keep Cyclops waiting for too long. About ten minutes later, accompanied by a gentle breeze whispering by, a barely visible member of the Cloud Puppet Clan floated beside Cyclops.

”This is the place.”

Cyclops nodded at the blood-soaked ground beneath him, indicating the direction to the Cloud Puppet. Accompanied by the spiritual puppet’s innate activated version of the disabled Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill, specks of soul light appeared in the air. The Cloud Puppet Clan member conducted further filtration, removing irrelevant impurities, and only retaining Carmille’s significant memories before speaking to Cyclops.

”I will hand this over to Lord Mountain Puppet. Cyclops, per Lord Mountain Puppet’s instructions, you will need to escort me back on the return journey.”

This was Mountain Kui’s cautious gesture, fearing ambush during transport. Just after Tang Haofei had pulled off that matter, Mountain Kui couldn’t help but be more cautious. Despite Cyclops’s curiosity about the deep pit in the forest, he was well aware of the priorities and simply nodded, following the Cloud Puppet Clan member to leave.

Watching Cyclops and the Cloud Puppet depart, Spirit breathed a sigh of relief, but recalling Cyclops and the soul puppet’s actions just now, Spirit couldn’t help but feel an unconstrained worry deep within.

She did not know the wonders of Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill; Li Quan’an did not know the wonders of Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill; of course, the Demigod knew, but it was impossible for the Demigod to divulge his main combat skill information to subordinates, which led to Li Quan’an’s cleanup job not being thorough — indeed, Li Quan’an didn’t have the capability for thoroughness either, without any soul-related abilities, wanted to annihilate Carmille’s soul was just wishful thinking, coupled with Li Quan’an’s departure and Cyclops’s arrival being just a few steps apart, hence time wasn’t sufficient.

This is what allowed Wen Yu to pick up a loophole...

These matters, Spirit naturally couldn’t forewarn, she was just relieved for escaping this calamity with luck, yet only five minutes after, a grey shadow unexpectedly returned once again!

Cyclops, ultimately wanted to delve deeper...

...

”The pit’s diameter is approximately a hundred meters, pitch dark, with no end in sight. It seems intentionally dug, not naturally formed.”

Cyclops walked in circles around the pit, reporting to Wen Yu through a spiritual connection, while Wen Yu, sitting at home in Maple Leaf Town, petted his cat and contemplated the information relayed by Cyclops.

”Should we... go down and take a look?”

Cyclops had been closely monitored for some time, and being out alone now indeed made him want to unleash a bit, but Wen Yu calmly rejected Cyclops’s idea.

”Wait a moment; once Mountain Kui delivers the items, I’ll review Carmille’s memories before deciding.”

The forest that just witnessed events must have been Carmille’s dwelling for several decades, so large a pit, Wen Yu couldn’t believe Carmille knew nothing.

Upon hearing this, Cyclops instantly withdrew his curiosity, laying obediently at the pit’s edge, waiting for Wen Yu’s next instructions.

Mountain Kui acted swiftly, within less than half an hour, Carmille’s memory orb was already in Wen Yu’s hand. As Wen Yu absorbed and extracted the memory orb, scenes before Carmille’s life instantly played in Wen Yu’s mind.

”Cyclops! Task completed, return immediately!”

Wen Yu’s voice carried an unquestionable firmness, Cyclops immediately turned and went back upon hearing, while Wen Yu simply organized everything within Carmille’s memories, then, his eyes finally sparked with brilliance!

One wouldn’t know until one’d seen, and upon seeing, it was truly astonishing... In places Wen Yu hadn’t focused on, so many interesting events had occurred!

First and foremost, regarding the deep pit discovered by Cyclops, it turned out to be a passage leading to the origin of the Earth’s nucleus!

Wen Yu knew this world must have a route leading to the origin of Earth’s nucleus, the deep sea must have one, but never thought Carmille and the clan conscious body called Spirit quietly excavated a pathway to the origin of Earth’s nucleus.

In other words, entering the passage and walking forward, one would reach the lair of Earth’s core consciousness — though knowing the location didn’t serve any practical purpose, could Wen Yu confront Earth’s core consciousness at its door? This was also the fundamental reason Wen Yu called Cyclops back.

Now that Wen Yu wasn’t at Level 11, even if he could fight, he couldn’t possibly slaughter Earth’s core consciousness, and his soul pet loitered at Earth’s core consciousness’s doorstep for so long, the thought alone brought a cold sweat to Wen Yu...

Cannot afford to mess with them, cannot afford to mess with them...

Thus, this matter, in Wen Yu’s eyes, was merely a minor incidental gain — just like overhearing some gossip humor.

The focal point lay within the following few pieces of information.

Carmille saw Tang Haofei in the Demigod’s castle...

Considering the Tang Haofei escape event that just took place, Tang Haofei’s external support was a soul puppet resembling a shadow, and after the incident occurred, within less than several dozen minutes, Tang Haofei already appeared in the Demigod’s fortress, is there any need to guess the relationship between these two?

Then this raises another issue...

Does the Demigod possess the Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill?

At this moment, Wen Yu contemplated the specialty of the Demigod’s Blood Extraction Skill, and thought of his relationship with Earth consciousness... Indeed, when Wen Yu initially touched Earth’s core at the Earth’s nucleus, he got burned by its essence.

Earth consciousness has its own blood, and the Demigod possesses the Soul Abiogenetic Creation Skill; the Demigod rescued Tang Haofei, subsequently reaching a collaboration intent with Tang Haofei...

Everything lined up in sequence.
