Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 66 Losing the True Spirit!

A strange red light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and at the same time, thick black mist rose behind her, revealing a hideous demonic shadow with a pair of blood-red, eerie eyes, staring intently at the female war god sitting there.

Soon, Li Yueyao's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? Her true spirit has actually disappeared?!"

"The true spirit has disappeared?"

Li Qiye was taken aback.

His Heavenly Eye Divine Technique failed to detect this.

The Heavenly Eye Divine Technique doesn't possess such a special ability, but Li Yueyao's perception is absolutely correct.

She possesses the Extreme Yin Divine Demon Body. As one of the Heavenly Demon Bodies, she naturally has a special sensitivity to the souls of all living beings.

In some ancient legends, demons are said to have the ability to bewitch people and disturb their minds.

However, the Extreme Yin Divine Demon Body rarely appears in the world, and even when it does, few people notice it.

Especially when not activated, it looks no different from an ordinary person.

Otherwise, if he had been born into the Prince Huai's mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would have been noticed long ago and would not have suffered such unfair treatment. Regardless of his birth, he would have been a key person to be cultivated.

Li Qiye's mind raced, and he immediately stood up, circling the female war goddess Xuan Yuan Aoxue twice, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

Judging solely from her aura, the female war goddess appeared perfectly normal; her blood and energy remained vigorous, and one could faintly sense the domineering aura emanating from her war goddess body.

There is no difference in overall vitality, and the spirit remains, only the deepest true spirit has disappeared.

It works wonders!

This is the most essential element in the soul of all living beings in the world; it often signifies the will of the being.

It sounds ethereal, but it truly exists.

Some ancient books record that after a living being perishes, or is reincarnated, it relies on that unseen and intangible true spirit.

Once the true spirit disappears, it will transform into a conscious monster, dominated by resentment and malevolent energy, possessing only a divine soul but unable to reincarnate or be reborn.

"What the hell is going on?"

"She is right in front of me, but her true spirit has vanished from my soul?"

Li Yueyao frowned deeply, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes.

Although the female war goddess Xuan Yuan Aoxue was not familiar with her, for Yue Yao, this female war goddess was the closest person to her besides her brother Qi Ye.

It wouldn't be wrong to say they were sworn brothers, and as an extremely Yin Divine Demon Body, she was extremely sensitive to these things, yet she couldn't sense the presence of her true spirit at all.

"Don't worry."

Li Qiye pondered for a moment before asking, "Is this the first time she's experienced something like this?"

"good."

Li Yueyao nodded. She knew that Brother Qiye was asking about the Goddess of War before her rebirth.

Clearly, her brother Qiye knew something, but Li Yueyao didn't hide it and told him the truth.

"no……"

Li Yueyao suddenly spoke up: "Yesterday, after you, Brother Qiye, absorbed all the evil energy in her body, she returned to her room. She asked me if I had seen her before, and I said..."

"I told her I'd known her for a long time and asked her if she believed me."

"Then she froze, her expression became dazed, and she almost fell over... It seems like she's never had a problem like this before."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye fell into deep thought.

Looking at the female war goddess whose eyes were lifeless and whose pupils had lost their luster, he murmured to himself, "So, this happened twice. Once was because of what you said, and the other time was when she saw the Gold-Devouring Beast..."

"I think I understand."

Li Yueyao didn't interrupt, but looked at Li Qiye with curiosity, waiting for him to continue. "You weren't wrong just now, her memory is indeed having problems."

"I once came across a very interesting theory that when someone's memories are altered, they are not completely erased. Instead, a restriction point is set within their memory, and touching this restriction point may awaken long-dormant memories..."

"This is also the principle behind why some people suddenly regain their memories after suffering from amnesia."

Li Qiye slowly said, "I think the current situation of the Goddess of War is this."

Upon hearing this, Li Yueyao also fell into deep thought. The eerie red light in her beautiful eyes did not fade as she continued to gaze at the Goddess of War. She then nodded and said:
“Brother Qiye, now that you mention it, I’m reminded of something from back then…”

"This one……"

"There was once a description in an ancient book that a powerful person entered a secret realm, where the remains of an unparalleled expert were found."

"Every time we find a part of his skeleton, we can see a portion of his inherited memories as a powerful being. This must be based on the same principle."

Li Qiye gave Li Yueyao a meaningful look.

This girl didn't hold back at all in front of him and almost let it slip.

Facing Li Qiye's gaze, Li Yueyao remained calm and composed, without blushing or skipping a beat.

I just read it in ancient books, and even if the Heavenly King himself came, it would still be the same.

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, Li Qiye would have almost burst out laughing.

"That's how it should be."

Li Qiye didn't expose her and withdrew his gaze.

"Now that we've identified the problem with the Goddess of War, the next step is to find out where her true spirit has gone and how to awaken her."

Upon hearing this, Li Yueyao fell into deep thought.

Strange and unusual techniques and secret arts quickly surfaced in her mind.

She once roamed the starry sky and among countless races. During her journey to find her brother Qiye, she experienced so much and naturally acquired many unique cultivation techniques and secret arts.

Some may not have combat capabilities, but they can be used daily and have immediate effects.

However, she was still clueless. As a being with an extremely Yin divine demonic body, she knew countless techniques and secret arts related to true spirits.

However, all of those methods were used to deal with other people's spirits; none of them were used to seek out or awaken other people's spirits.

Li Qiye didn't think that much about it; after all, he wasn't a reborn person with rich experiences like Li Yueyao.

All that I know now comes from the system; I don't understand these techniques and secret arts.

Looking at the female warrior whose beautiful eyes were devoid of light, he muttered to himself, "Doesn't she look like a vegetable?"

"Could it be that the person in the vegetative state in their previous life lost their true spirit in this way?"

"Awakening her true spirit will allow her to regain consciousness..."

"Wait a moment……"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Qiye.

"The current state of the Goddess of War is exactly the same as that of a person in a vegetative state on Earth. Her physical body is still alive, but her true spirit has disappeared."

"This must be a kind of deep sleep. If it's a deep sleep, then maybe it's dreaming?"

"Even if she doesn't dream, we can force her into a dream..."

Li Qiye's eyes lit up; he had finally found a clue.

Seeing this, Li Yueyao asked with a curious look, "Brother Qiye, it seems you've found a solution?"
