Lord of the Truth

548  A long waited visitor

After the era of energy cultivation began, every ancient treant got an idea about the internal energy system, and each of them made a replica for himself that was useful to him and distributed it to his descendants and followers.

While the ordinary Treants were happy with the new cultivation system and went to wreak havoc on the human gatherings, the ancient Treants took their time to study this new field further and used the opportunity to strengthen their souls and confirm all the information they had researched over the past hundreds of thousands of years.

Soon, each of them discovered a large number of heavenly laws, and each of them created techniques and methods by which they could rule the nature around them in one way or another.

Within just a few hundred years of the discovery of the energy cultivation system, the human kingdom was facing annihilation and humans were fleeing, while the ancient treants already had their own unofficial little kingdoms around them, and each of them had the ability to start devastating wars, but they simply didnʼt care...

Until one day, the dozens of ancient treant became agitated when they felt something.

Their lack of interest in foreign affairs disappeared, the period of peace that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years ended, and the genocidal war began, resulting in the death of billions of living beings, and dozens of ancient treants were killed until their number became only seven... or six now.

And the thing they found was, ”Arghh...” Robin made a slight pained sound and grabbed his head.

The amount of memories that this primal soul carried was simply enormous. How many simple details did Hoffenheim think of every day throughout his life, which lasted for half a million years? Whatʼs worse is that because of Hoffenheimʼs suicide, those memories turned into scattered fragments. Robin used up almost all of his soul abilities to collect a few pieces of information from here and there, but in the end, trying to collect all the memories to be like before might take him years, so he focused on the big events only at the beginning of the energy cultivation era, but still, he almost lost control of his energy and Hoffenheimʼs primal soul was about to explode!

Robin, in the end, sighed and shook his head, then rested a little and activated the Soul Replenishing Technique, then returned to read Hoffenheimʼs soul again. This time, however, he did not search for the fragments and arrange the events, but rather simply absorbed everything as it was.

After an unknown amount of time, Robin finally removed his hand from the primal soul. Although he now had a huge number of fragments of memories as if it were a giant puzzle, he could take his time arranging them and no longer had to worry about the Hoffenheim primal soul exploding and the memories being lost.

Now what does he do with this primal soul?

Should he leave it alone within his soul domain? But what will happen in the end? Will it be healed and returned alive somehow?

This is impossible, but assuming that a miracle happened and he succeeded in bringing it back to life, what would be the benefit if Hoffenheimʼs consciousness returned while he was within his soul domain? He already took all his memories, maybe Hoffenheim would have done him good if he still had control of his body, but what more can he offer in this situation? Secondly, leaving another consciousness within his own soul domain is simply very dangerous.

...After thinking for a few moments, an idea came to Robin and he retreated to a safe distance, then removed the silver wrapper from the primal soul!

As long as the vortexes cannot absorb the primal soul in this state, letʼs see what will happen after it explodes!

*Booooom!!*

The primal soul was very small and did not even contain any consciousness.

Of course, its explosion cannot be compared to what happened previously when the power of the Hoffenheim soul force exploded here. However, the explosion of that small primal soul caused energy waves that shook Robinʼs entire soul domain!

Robinʼs avatar quickly moved and sent vortexes of the Soul Filling Technique towards the explosion area

*gulp* *gulp*

”success!” Robin shouted excitedly as he felt a different soul force entering his avatar

Yes... different!

The energy resulting from the destruction of the primal soul was not just pure, refined force, but a true soul after all, it nonetheless seemed a thousand times purer and better than any other soul force he absorbed!

A while ago, it took Robin a few seconds to finish absorbing 20% of Hoffenheimʼs spirit energy, but this time the Soul Filling Technique continued for several full minutes, during which Robinʼs soul avatar began to grow noticeably, and when it was all over, Robinʼs avatar was almost a few inches taller!!

Robin laughed as he watched his soul domain expand again. It turns out that destroying and absorbing primal souls is much better!

After taking one last glance, Robin nodded satisfied, and then commanded his consciousness to exit his body again.

This was not the time or place to collect the fragments of Hoffenheimʼs memories.

”Hmm!” Robin slowly opened his eyes and extended his arms to stretch

”You finally woke up? I saw a fly standing on your face, it took its time playing and shitting on your face until it was satisfied before it left, but you did not even blink. I was surprised seeing this, so I brought a mouse and put it between your clothes and your back, but you did not show any reaction either. I canʼt believe you let yourself get into this kind of condition while you are literally sitting next to an active battlefield, what would have happened if Bud had come here and cut your throat while you were dreaming? You really are a lost cause, I always found you in similar positions in front of that cave when you were still an old fart, but you are doing it again now, and even worse, do you not intend to ever change?!”

The first thing Robin heard was a familiar voice that caused him to look beside him for a moment before he responded with a smile on his face, ”Oh, my unfilial son is here? Haha what can I do, something requires full attention, what would I need an army for If I canʼt afford to put my full focus on something for a minute? come on, tell me what happened in the battle after I--- Did you just say you put a rat in my back?!”

Caesar stood and took a few steps towards the huge tree trunk where the fireballs and wind blades were flying intensely, ”Three hours after your announcement, about 10 million buds came out and announced their surrender, they are now on their way to the headquarters to wait for their new deployment, as for the rest of the nearly hundred million buds, they decided to fight to the very end, and this is what is happening now... Itʼs been 4 days since the battle broke out again and you entered this state, and this time our men donʼt care about enforcing the siege or worry about ambushes from behind, and the buds donʼt care about staying around Tree Father either, both sides are just trying to kill as much of the other team as possible.”

”Are those scratch marks? You really did it you crazy son of a bitch!! Why the hell would you put a rat in my back?!” Robin shouted again after taking off his clothes and seeing the red marks all over his body, even if they didnʼt do him any damage it was still infuriating to know that a rat was running all over his body!

Then with a wave of his hand a small cloud appeared above his head and began to pour clean water, he started to shower right then and there!

While he was bathing, he did not seem to notice the budsʼ body parts under his feet nor the huge number of bud corpses scattered all around him. It was clear that Caesar had not had an easy time during the past four days...

”The current situation is difficult and the death toll in our army has risen, but even in a battle like this, we will still prevail because our men are all elites. We can strike and retreat whenever we want. I believe that in another 10 days, this place will be completely cleaned, I just wish the death tally doesnʼt add up more than this.”

”And I wish I had cleaned the shit out of your head when you were younger. Maybe you would have grown up to be more polite to your father!” Robin shouted at him again while wearing new clothes

Caesar laughed and changed the subject, ”By the way, Brother Theo has arrived at the headquarters and says he wants to meet you urgently, Should I invite him to come?”
