557: Chapter 557 Condensing the Natal Emperor Seal

The Source Beast's voice was almost a roar, carrying the fury of endless suppressed years, shaking the entire starry sky.

In that voice, there was grievance, anger, unwillingness, and accusation.

Qin Wushang was greatly surprised.

Did they know each other?

When had he ever had any interaction with a Source Beast?

"No."

He frowned deeply, his tone somewhat displeased.

"How you lived, how would I know? Besides, what does it have to do with me?"

He spread his hands, his face full of innocence.

The Source Beast fell silent.

When put that way, it seemed to make sense!

The Source Beast looked at Qin Wushang, who was standing on Yao Shinian's chest, and did not speak for a long time.

Those huge eyes stared at him without blinking, as if recalling things so distant they were almost forgotten.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Yao Shinian could not help it, her voice crashing down from above.

"Who on earth are you? Why are you pretending to be the Pig King?"

In her memory, pigs could not talk.

The Pig King could talk, but not much, and most of the time it was extremely evil.

But the one in front of her did not seem to be of that ilk.

"Emperor."

The Source Beast spat out a single word.

The blood-red light on its forehead faded, shining again with golden radiance, and the character 'Emperor' appeared incomparably solemn at this moment.

"I hold the Emperor Dao, having witnessed the vicissitudes of life and wasted endless years, all just to wait for your arrival."

It looked at Qin Wushang, enunciating every word.

Wait for me?

Qin Wushang raised an eyebrow, his eyes shining with the light of Chaos, staring directly into the Source Beast's eyes.

Then he was stunned.

The Source Beast also had two pupils, and they were slowly overlapping.

That pattern, that charm, and the Chaos Qi between the opening and closing of those double pupils were exactly the same as his own Supreme Double Pupils.

"This guy that looks like the Pig King has eyes just like yours!"

Yao Shinian exclaimed, her tone full of surprise.

Supreme Double Pupils.

The Source Beast actually also possessed Supreme Double Pupils.

"Who exactly are you?"

Qin Wushang's voice sank as he questioned it.

"I am you, yet you are not me."

This was cryptic, and Yao Shinian didn't quite understand.

But Qin Wushang understood!

Past life self, Reincarnation self; of the same lineage yet entirely different.

"How can you prove it?"

He pressed on, not believing it immediately.

"I am your past life."

"...Walking through the vicissitudes of eternity, stepping on the Emperors Path, experiencing endless slaughter... This needs no proof."

The Source Beast's voice became calm.

"The reincarnated you now is no longer me... ignorant and unknowing, having not inherited the Dao of the past."

"This is a good thing."

Qin Wushang's expression became increasingly complex.

It is him, yet he is not it?

Past life self? Can it be trusted?

"But you are a Source Beast."

He pointed out the biggest problem.

The Source Beast looked at him, its massive body shifting slightly, as if finding a more comfortable position to speak.

It slowly opened its mouth, its voice deep: "Humans have bad people, and Source Beasts also have good and bad."

After a pause, it added another sentence.

"Of course, I am not a good one."

Qin Wushang: "..."

Yao Shinian: "..."

"I feel like it's the blockhead."

Yao Shinian complained again, her voice coming from overhead.

"That was as good as saying nothing."

Qin Wushang did not laugh.

He stared at the golden 'Emperor' character on the Source Beast's forehead, stared at those double pupils exactly like his own, and remained silent for a long time.

He asked: "What do you want?"

"I am indeed not of your kin... but I am you. I inherited your body to gain a new life, and the price is to tell you one thing on behalf of your pre-reincarnated self."

The Source Beast's words were spoken very slowly, like rusted gears turning.

"It was you yourself who asked me to tell you."

This was spoken in a cryptic manner, and Yao Shinian was completely bewildered.

She gripped her pig-slaughtering knife and that golden rope tightly, wishing she could bind the Source Beast and slash it with one strike.

"What, what! Can you speak like a human?"

She widened her eyes, furious.

"Just because you're a pig, does that mean you don't have to speak like a human? Don't forget, you're talking to a human right now!"

"It means that it mutated from my past life self, and the price is that it must tell us some things."

Qin Wushang explained for the Source Beast.

Otherwise, Yao Shinian might not be able to hold back and would attack this guy directly.

"Pigs can mutate?"

Yao Shinian was very shocked.

She had lived for so long and had never heard of pigs being mutated into existence.

"Don't talk."

Qin Wushang said.

He looked at the Source Beast, examining it carefully, his gaze piercing through layers of darkness, wanting to see the Source Beast clearly.

It came from the world inside the Golden Monument; even if the Golden Monument was shattered, that world still existed and was still binding it.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Qin Wushang asked.

He wanted to see what kind of message this so-called past life had left for him.

The Source Beast spoke directly.

"Please watch the VCR!"

As the words fell, the 'Emperor' character on its forehead moved.

That character, containing endless Profound Truth of the Dao, flew out from its forehead, hung in mid-air, and shone with ten thousand zhang of golden light.

"Quick! Stimulate your Qi and blood, manifest your Primordial Spirit! Let it see that it is truly you, so as to open the Restriction!"

The Source Beast shouted.

Qin Wushang's body exploded with golden light, the Origin of his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo surged, and his Primordial Spirit shot up from the top of his head, reflecting in the starry sky.

"Crack!"

That 'Emperor' character cracked open.

A brilliant figure stepped out from the crack.

White hair, white robes, incomparably handsome, looking exactly like Qin Wushang.

"You have come."

The white-robed man spoke, his voice calm.

"Are you my so-called past life?"

Qin Wushang looked at him, as if looking into a mirror.

This was cut from the same mold!

"Yes, and also no."

The white-robed man shook his head, then nodded: "That you could come here means the contingency plan has succeeded."

He paused, his gaze fixed on Qin Wushang.

"But there is one thing you must know: absolutely do not engage in the Fusion of the heavenly mandate stone, and do not become a Puppet of the Heavenly Dao."

Qin Wushang was not surprised.

He had guessed it long ago.

The System's previous script deductions, added to the various signs of these past days, had already led him to a conclusion.

But he still had to ask.

"Why?"

"What do you think the heavenly mandate stone is? Why does one need the heavenly mandate stone to obtain the recognition of the great dao of heaven and earth when proving the Dao as a Great Emperor?"

The white-robed man countered.

Qin Wushang did not answer.

"The heavenly mandate stone is the law of the Heavenly Dao, the Dao of the Heavenly Dao. If you undergo Fusion with it, you become a part of the Heavenly Dao."

The white-robed man's voice was like rolling celestial sounds, striking directly at the Dao Heart.

"But to achieve a Breakthrough in this Realm, you don't necessarily have to take this path."

"You have your own Dao, why borrow its Dao?"

As the words fell, they were branded into Qin Wushang's Sea of Consciousness, lingering for a long time.

"Then how should I achieve a Breakthrough in the Emperor Realm, reach Great Perfection in this Realm, and be invincible in this world?"

Qin Wushang asked.

This was what he was most urgently wanting to know.

"Condense the Lifebound Emperor Seal!"
