172: Pure Love Warrior

The Lord of Jail stared intently at the evil spirit and said, "I'm trying to find a way to revive Revered Master!"

"I'm thinking of a way every day!"

"I wanted to give you a surprise!"

"But I never expected you to be so crazy!"

"Senior Brother, can you leave everything to me?"

"I've already seen hope!"

At this moment, the evil spirit gradually calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the hope?"

The Lord of Jail uttered those two words without hesitation: "Xiao Fan!"

"It should be said that it's the two women beside Xiao Fan!"

"Ten Thousand Things Birth!"

"The other one is Dead Soul Fire, which is currently in Fusion with Alpha Armor!"

"Before today, I might not have been able to confirm it!"

"But just now, Chen Changsheng sent me a short message: the characteristics of Dead Soul Fire allow for Soul Refining; it doesn't just burn the Soul, it can also forge the Soul!"

"It's just like Artifact Refining!"

"A pile of metal, fused into a weapon!"

"I've even thought about it; I have many powerful Souls in my hands. Just among the deceased Myth-Grade ones, there are three or four, and there are also some from the Alien Race!"

"What do you think will happen if we melt all these Souls into a single mass, with Revered Master as the primary guide? What kind of Talent will it eventually become!?"

"How strong will she be!"

Hearing this, the evil spirit's expression changed slightly. He stared intently at the Lord of Jail, finding it hard to believe in his heart that this Junior Brother would truly be willing to revive Revered Master.

Because this was the biggest stain in the Lord of Jail's life; reviving Revered Master would be tantamount to magnifying this stain!

The essence of the evil spirit was the ghost of human hearts, so he could clearly feel that his Junior Brother was not being hypocritical at all, but very sincere.

This was truly incredible; he found it hard to reconcile the sixteen-year-old boy, full of jealousy, anger, and even some resentment, with the current Lord of Jail.

Perhaps seven hundred years can truly make a person grow a lot...

The Lord of Jail also saw the distrust in his Senior Brother's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, I have truly found a way to revive Revered Master. For this, I am even willing to open that shield and let you out."

"I know that in Senior Brother's eyes, nothing can compare to Revered Master."

"If I don't atone for the mistakes I made back then, my Soul will forever be incomplete. I am not a coward. I am now the Lord of Jail. I made mistakes, so I must make amends!"

The evil spirit said indifferently, "Where is that Dead Soul Fire now?"

The Lord of Jail sighed and said, "That's a long and complicated story."

He told the evil spirit about the Dignity Battle and the Alpha Armor.

After listening, the evil spirit said indifferently, "Let me out. I'll bring back both the Alpha Armor and that Dead Soul Fire tomorrow."

"There's an Alien Race mark inside the Alpha Armor!" the Lord of Jail said.

"Is that even a problem?" The evil spirit's eyes were filled with disdain as he said, "Aren't the Alien Race just a bunch of simple-minded fools? I can easily make them act like idiots, remove the mark themselves, and then obediently return the Dead Soul Fire to my hands."

"Senior Brother, there's no need to rush this matter," the Lord of Jail waved his hand and said, "The current strength of Dead Soul Fire is far from enough."

"Another little girl is also very important, named Xiao Dingdong!"

"Her Talent is Ten Thousand Things Birth!"

"You also know that a Soul cannot be casually fused with any Physical Body; it requires a corresponding life imprint, right?"

"A professor, a life scientist, discovered through research that the Ten Thousand Things Birth Talent subtly possesses the ability to create life imprints!"

"It's like a serial number; the Soul's serial number must match that of the Physical Body, and I can deduce our Revered Master's serial number from that trace of her Soul!"

"Ten Thousand Things Birth creates the Physical Body, Dead Soul Fire forges the Soul, and when the two are in Fusion, our Revered Master can truly be revived!"

"However, even if she comes back to life, she might not remember you, after all, Revered Master only has that trace of her Soul; it is incomplete..."

The evil spirit, however, shook his head and, uncharacteristically, showed a faint smile. He said, "It doesn't matter... As long as I can see her again, I'll be satisfied. It doesn't matter whether she remembers me or not, even... never mind."

He had originally wanted to say that he was worried his current hideous appearance might scare her... but it wasn't a big problem. As long as he could leave that protective shield, it wouldn't be difficult to restore his original appearance. It would just be quite painful if she really didn't remember him after coming back to life...

But is there a possibility that our teacher-student relationship could turn into her teacher-student relationship with me?

Thinking of this, the evil spirit felt inexplicably excited.

At this moment, the Lord of Jail said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, please listen to my plan!"

"Firstly, with the current ability of Ten Thousand Things Birth, it is not enough to create a Physical Body capable of accommodating Myth-Grade Talent. The Realm must at least reach Martial Venerable, or even Martial Saint, and preferably undergo Awakening."

"And besides the spiritual transformation, isn't there another way for Awakening?"

"Find a Myth-Grade wood element of the same Rank to collide with it!"

"So what we need to do now is to first cultivate Xiao Dingdong's Realm well; Ten Thousand Things Birth is inherently the Talent with the fastest Realm progression!"

"Then, find a Myth-Grade wood element and arrange all means for Xiao Dingdong to perfectly endure the pain of Awakening!"

Myth-Grade wood elements were spoken of by the two as if they were as common as cabbages, but for the evil spirit, it was not difficult. The Alien Race was not without powerful wood element experts equivalent to Myth-Grade; couldn't he just kill them and extract it?

Although the cost was very high, so what?

The evil spirit could destroy the entire Federation for Revered Master; what else was he afraid to do or incapable of doing!?

Anything was fine as long as Revered Master could be revived!

The Lord of Jail continued, "Then, when Ten Thousand Things Birth is almost ready, you can go and retrieve the Dead Soul Fire."

"There are still four years until the Dignity Battle; try to get it back before it starts!"

"Mm." The evil spirit nodded lightly.

"There's also Xiao Fan," the Lord of Jail spoke again.

"Both Ten Thousand Things Birth and Dead Soul Fire are his women, and they listen to him very well. To put it bluntly, if reviving Revered Master poses a danger to these two women, Xiao Fan will definitely not agree."

"However, he is very loyal and righteous. If you truly help Ten Thousand Things Birth Awaken, and bring back Dead Soul Fire, and help him, he will definitely repay you."

The evil spirit nodded and said, "Then I will continue to use this White Emperor Immortal identity to fund Xiao Fan."

"Good!" The Lord of Jail nodded heavily.

"But you can't be too blatant. After all, you know, Senior Brother, that to everyone in the Federation, you are a rather crazy... not-so-good person."

"If others find out that you're hiding in White Emperor Immortal's Physical Body, swaggering around the Academy, and using this identity to do things, I won't be able to justify it either."

"Caution is paramount in all matters!"

Finally, the two fell into a silence, the room, still faintly smelling of alcohol, was uncomfortably quiet.

After a long while, the Lord of Jail broke the deadlock, self-mockingly saying, "Then, Senior Brother, after Revered Master is revived, we won't see each other again, will we?"

Ultimately, he was responsible for Revered Master's death.

Back then, the Human Race was extremely short on Geniuses, and a twenty-something-year-old Genius girl could also be a teacher. That was their Revered Master, cheerful, kind, and wise.

Furthermore, Di Yi Academy had just been established and needed to establish its authority, but then a teacher-student scandal broke out.

The twenty-something-year-old girl wasn't very strong internally. Seeing the online abuse and the explicit video, she simply couldn't accept it and collapsed.

Just to restore Di Yi Academy's prestige, she chose to be cremated directly, burning herself to death under everyone's insults.

Only at that moment did the sixteen-year-old Lord of Jail, Wei Heng, realize the colossal mistake he had made.

He thought about making amends every day, trying to repay his debt, and now he finally had the chance.

Revered Master would come back to life, but he didn't crave his Senior Brother's forgiveness, because he couldn't forgive himself.

Finally, the Lord of Jail added, "You know that Leaf Yanan held a meeting about Xiao Fan, right?"

"Actually, that was a trap. Only I, Chen Changsheng, and Leaf Yanan knew that the Planet Will cannot be extracted."

"Because there's a traitor in the Academy, hidden very deeply."

"Senior Brother, I'll leave this matter to you."

Finally, he stood up and left. His wide black and red robe fluttered in the corridor of the Dean's residence. The Lord of Jail's expression returned to its former solemnity, though he couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.

Everyone has an unspeakable past, whether shameful, disgusting, or even sinful. No one is an exception, including this great Lord of Jail.

But he chose to face it.
