"Why is the immortal talent being targeted? Isn't this talent already existed for a long time? I remember once Yinchen once mentioned to me that the talents in the Yaslan realm are actually updated very quickly, and many talents that were once dominant have been eliminated with the development of the soul art era, but there are several ancient talents that have been circulating, and one of them is the immortal talent you have, right?" Qi Ling looked at Youhua and asked seriously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Do you really want to know this? To explain it to you, I may need to start at the beginning, probably at dawn. Aren't we going to go to Gilgamesh's rescue at dawn?" Celestial Bouquet smiled bitterly, perhaps she also thought it was a little ironic, she put all the potioned cotton pads in the cupboard, and then walked to the fireplace, and added a few more thick firewood.

"It's okay, it's dawn, it's dawn, you let me go on the road so unclearly, my heart is furious. Qi Ling came to Youhua, and the strong smell of medicine on his body stimulated Youhua so much that Youhua couldn't help but cover her nose.

"What's 'on the road' or not 'on the road', you really don't care about feng shui luck at all. I feel like I can say everything to you with a few muttered words. Tianshu Youhua frowned slightly, "If tomorrow Lotus Spring and they ask about your injuries......

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't betray you, I'll just say that when I was practicing controlling the Horcrux myself, I accidentally dropped my sword and fell on my chest. Very reasonable. No one doubts, because I threw down the shield of your ancestor and smashed it on my head before, reasonable, reasonable. Qi Ling smiled mischievously, his clothes were ajar, revealing his increasingly strong muscles, and under the strong smell of medicinal wine, it was the unique smell of his young physique. Tianbou's face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but turn around and get a thick blanket to drape over her body.

"Ya Slan's soul art development history, did Silver Dust briefly tell you about it?

"Nope. You tell me everything, how much to say, Youhua, I want to know more about your world, so that I can help, sometimes I can't keep up with the rhythm when I see you guys in a hurry or something, and I'm very depressed. Qi Ling said as he slid neatly into the heavy blanket wrapped in the flowers.

"Hey, who let you in!" Tianshu Youhua's face instantly turned red.

"This blanket is so big, you can't use it up alone, you see the other end is hanging to the ground, it's winter, you think I have a fireplace in my body to burn a fire, you go a little bit, you sit on the sofa a little bit, okay, okay, that's it, it's very comfortable, my feet can be straightened." ”

“......”

"Please speak. Qi Ling was wrapped in the huge cashmere blanket, revealing only a furry head with braids, his eyes were bright, the corners of his mouth still hung a cheerful and kind smile, his teeth were neat and white, and he naturally had a feeling of relaxation and wanting to be close, "Or will I go make you a pot of tea first, and you will talk while you drink it?"

"No, I don't. Tianshu Youhua replied coldly, she shrunk her feet and moved towards the other end of the sofa, her face still red, "I've been so troubled by you that I've forgotten where I said." ”

"Tell you-sensei, you talked about the most important change in the soul era. ”

"I'll start from the beginning. But the earliest I am talking about is only the recorded history that I can come into contact with, and I believe that there must be a lot of history that has not been recorded, or that has been deliberately hidden. According to the records, our world was not the dazzling intricacies of the various soul arts talent horcruxes you see at the beginning, at the beginning, the soul power generated by the golden soul mist had a very limited impact on this world, and the soul techniques that people could create and use were also extremely simple, many of which were miraculous breakthroughs at the time, and they all seemed clumsy and ridiculous to us today. But people are still shocked by the power of soul magic, so countless people are frantically researching to find a breakthrough, but progress has been very, very slow. ”

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask, when did the source of our soul power, that is, the Golden Soul Mist, appear? Is it something that originally existed in this world? Where did it come from? It looks like it can't be used up all the time, so many people continue to consume the Golden Soul Mist, so there is always a source to replenish, right?"

"The golden soul mist originally did not belong to our world, it must be something foreign, our family has kept some very, very old records, and the world in those records is no different from the world of ordinary people, it is completely a world without soul power. And suddenly, one day, there was a record of the golden soul mist and soul magic. So, that's what I'm talking about, the history of the birth of the Golden Soul Mist was erased out of thin air. ”

"Erased by whom?"

"Erased by people who want to hide the essence of soul power. The Heavenly Bouquet replied.

"Silver Priest?"

"It's possible, but it's also possible that it's the soul leader of a certain era. Tianbou Youhua sighed softly, "In short, this period of history is blank, and I couldn't find any relevant clues with a lot of effort, so I gave up." But I found out that the overall concentration of the Golden Soul Mist was not the same as it is now from the beginning. At first, the concentration of the golden soul mist was very, very low, and then after a long time, it gradually spread and filled the entire border, and then the concentration of the golden soul mist continued to increase, and finally reached the current equilibrium state. So, this is also the reason why the development of soul art was extremely slow at first. ”

"Why?"

"Because the golden soul mist is too thin, it can't cause 'mutations', whether it is a soul beast or a human who suddenly has a soul circuit on his body, it is an anomaly that occurs after continuous immersion in a high concentration of golden soul mist. In the beginning, this kind of mutation may only occur once in hundreds of thousands of years, and people in different eras have different ways of treating these 'deviant' people, some regard them as heretics and carry out slaughter and extermination, and some regard them as gods and worship them...... In short, it was a very long and stupid time of savagery. Tianshu Youhua looked at the gradually burning furnace fire, and her eyes flickered, "It wasn't until the 'mutation' appeared on a large scale that people began to face up to this power, and used the power of the golden soul mist to further transform this world, this power is too powerful, so that countless people are greedy and endlessly crazy to chase, this is the origin of the soul art era." ”

"When did the Silver Priest appear?" Qiling couldn't help but ask, looking at Youhua.

This history has also been erased. Tianbou Youhua replied lightly.

"I'm going to be erased again! When it comes to the key point, the answer is 'erased', can you still tell the story well. Qi Ling couldn't help but kick Yuhua lightly under the blanket.

"It's just erased, what can I do, it's not that I erased!" Tianzhu Youhua's eyes widened, and she kicked back hard, a little annoyed, "If you don't want to listen to it, forget it, I'm going to sleep, you go back to your own guest room!"

"I'll listen, I'll listen, you keep ......," Kirin replied immediately.

"As people studied and mastered soul art more and more, people began to realize the meaning of soul circuits. Do you know what the biggest difference between an Apostle of the Lord and an ordinary Soul Sorcerer is?"

"The prince and the apostle are more powerful, and the soul magician is more average. Qi Ling replied confidently, with a smug expression on his face, looking forward to the affirmation of the heavenly bouquet of flowers.

"This is the result! Not the reason! I'm talking about the reason!" Tianshu Youhua felt a little tired, she could understand why Yinchen frowned often, with a melancholy and indifferent expression, she fully realized this powerlessness, "Forget it, I won't ask you, I'll just say it myself, I'm also my own mouth, I have to ask you." ”

"Hee-hee. Kirin raised a hand and propped his head.

"The difference is in the integrity and closure of our soul circuits. The soul circuit of ordinary soul magicians often only covers a certain part of the body, and it is not closed, after the soul power is excited from their soul seal, it can no longer continue to move forward along the soul path to the end of the end, and it is interrupted, you can simply understand that the distance that this soul power travels is the range of power they can exert. ”

"So if a person's soul mark is right on the door of his head, and then his soul path extends all the way to the soles of his feet, this person's soul power is super strong, right?!" Qi Ling asked seriously.

“...... Yes...... Say ......" Tianshu Youhua rubbed her temples, she didn't want to correct him anymore.

"Ha, look, I'm smart!"

"......" Tianshu Youhua took a deep breath, and then continued, "But the soul path flow has a direction, and the speed of soul power flowing back to the seal is much slower than the speed of the stream, because the soul power reverse flow is too fast will cause a lot of irreversible permanent damage to the human body, so after the soul master activates the soul power in the soul seal, he will not be able to use soul magic for a long time, which is the so-called [debilitating period] It's like rolling a rock down a slope from the top of a mountain, rolling to the bottom, and then having to move back to the top again. ”

"Huh, debilitating period? Why didn't Yinchen tell me this? I feel like we can use it whenever we want, there is nothing weak or not weak, I only have a mental period, no debilitating period. Qi Ling told Tianshu Yuhua very seriously, "I think your historical research is wrong. ”

"That's because our soul circuit is completely closed, and the soul path starts from the Seal of the Lord, and after passing through the body, it will return to the Seal, thus forming a closed circuit that can circulate. For us, it is equivalent to having a slope that can roll stones infinitely, and therefore, as long as the soul power is not exhausted, we can continue to use soul magic with high intensity. Because of this, we have opened an insurmountable chasm with the soul magician. With the advent of the complete closed soul circuit, so did the talent. ”

"Only a fully closed loop creates talent, huh?"

"Yes, because of this, the first batch of soul magicians with talents became the [First Lord] at that time, but the types and abilities of talents at that time were very far from the current talents, so the most powerful ancient talents have been passed on, including the immortal talent. For a long time, the immortal talent was a noble talent exclusive to the imperial family. ”

"Why?"

"Because since ancient times, the best things in the world have been given to the emperor of a country. ”

"But the immortal talent is okay, and you're only ranked sixth now...... It's not an amazing talent. Qi Ling crooked the corners of his mouth, a little disdainful.

"Believe it or not, I'll stab you again, I still have a lot of medicinal wine in my cabinet. Tianshu Youhua glared at him coldly.

"Really, why doesn't the royal family choose other talents and dominate immortality?

"The immortal talent is indeed just a very ordinary talent now. But in that era, it was the birth of the most top-notch luxury talent, the immortal talent, which also brought about the important change of the times that I told you at the beginning. ”

Kirin put away the mischievous smile on his face, and he sensed very keenly that the veil of mystery that had been shrouded in this world was slowly being revealed.

"In the early days of talent, the closed circuit was very limited, so the strength of the body largely determined the strength of the combat power. Therefore, under the premise of not being able to have a more powerful soul circuit, some soul magicians took the risk of strengthening their bodies through the power of soul magic, and as a result, a forbidden soul technique called [Smelting] was born. Tianbou Youhua gradually shrunk her knees, I don't know if it was because of the cold, or because of the resistance caused by recalling that period of history that was too bloody and dark, "The so-called smelting is to transform the human body through the power of soul magic, all the incredible attempts you can think of, some people have tried in that era, some people brutally cut off their arms and replaced them with steel claws, some people poured the venom of poisonous snakes into their blood, some people gouged out their own eyes, and some people equipped themselves with the flesh wings of a flying dragon...... It was a very dark and very evil time...... When people walk on the streets, sometimes they feel like they are walking in a forest full of soul beasts, and those transformed soul magicians don't look like they are human at all. Their insane hunger for power led them to abandon their human form. However, the probability of success in smelting is extremely low, and the loss of one's own body is huge, and a large number of soul magicians have died in the process of smelting, and they have not persevered...... I remember that there was a quote from this period that said, 'The city was filled with the wails of the smelting of the sorcerers, and they screamed like dying beasts'...... And the people who survived in the end stood at the peak of their soul power, and for a long time, they were all people of the smelting school, ruling the soul art world, and ordinary soul magicians had no strength to compete with them at all. ”

"Because of the huge healing power of the immortal talent, which can withstand the highest intensity of smelting, it has become the hottest talent of that era, and it is exclusive to the royal family, right?" Qi Ling sat up straight, looking at Yuhua, he imagined the monsters walking all over the city at that time, and his heart was a little uncomfortable, he didn't like this feeling of twisted darkness.

"That's right. Because of this, the royal family once monopolized the positions of all seven princes. Because even if other people can survive from the smelting, the strength of the transformation they can withstand is limited, but the royal bloodline, which has the immortal talent as the foundation, will rise quickly, but because of this, for a long time, the royal family that rules this country looks like a group of monsters in the eyes of the common people......" Tianshu Youhua hugged her knees, and her voice was soft, especially when she said the word "monster", she lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly," Qi Ling, do you know, the former Yaslan did not have the so-called religious system under the rule of silver priests and princes and the political system under the rule of the Ice Emperor, the former divine power was the imperial power, the two were very unified, in that historical period, all the princes flowed royal blood, and the Ice Emperor was a once prince, the pinnacle of the soul world, and no one could compete with him. Until the secret of the Emperor's blood was discovered...... Then, the silver priests forcibly separated the royal system from the royal system, and then there was the current dual rule of theocracy and political power. ”

"The secret of the Imperial Blood?"

"Yes, the secret of the Imperial Blood, in the letter that Ios wrote to me, mainly told me this secret. All my doubts and troubles have been solved in front of this secret. The discovery of this secret almost led to the madness of destruction of Aslan at the time, and in the end, the Ice Emperor at that time made concessions and compromises to the Silver Priests, agreeing to separate the royal system from the royal system. Even in order to dilute and hide the existence of the entire royal family, we agreed to give up our surnames, so my name is Tianshu Youhua, my father's name is Xiliuer, and the Ice Emperor is called Ios...... We don't have a uniform surname...... The royal family even adopted a lot of people of foreign blood, further confusing the existence of hidden pure imperial blood......"

"What is the secret in your blood that requires such a big fight, and even the almost destruction of Aslan, as you said?"

Tianshu Youhua raised her head and looked at Qi Ling, Qi Ling only realized at this time that her eyes didn't know when, they had become red, her wet eyes trembled, and her eyelashes were wet with tears, one by one, like rain-soaked feathers. Kirin didn't urge her, he sat quietly.

"The secret of the Imperial Blood sounds unbelievable, but it is extremely simple, as simple as a biological instinct. After a long time, Tianshu Youhua finally spoke softly, "All of us who have the blood of the royal family flowing in our bodies share the same system that we can't see, we call it the [Soul Power Pool], any person of the royal family dies, all the soul power in his body will return to this soul power pool, and then through the effect of the soul power pool, it will be evenly distributed to all the remaining members of the Royal Blood Family who are living in this world, increasing the upper limit of their soul power." ”

Kirin was silent.

"Sounds a bit complicated, right? I said to keep it simple, if there are only three people from the royal family in this world, and each person's maximum soul power is the number ten, then, if one of them dies one day, then the other two living royal family members, the maximum peak of soul power, will become fifteen. Tianshu Youhua looked at the stunned Qiling, and smiled faintly, "Do you understand this? It's incredible, isn't it?But it's very simple, it's like a biological ego instinct guarding power, and I don't want to let the power be worn out or overflow." ”

Kirin didn't speak, not because he didn't understand, but because he instantly understood the horror of this secret. He looked at Youhua and whispered to ask: "The upper limit of each of our soul power is constantly growing, most of us are growing very slowly, and some people break through very quickly, such as Shenyin, such as Netherworld, and we can also make others have soul power through the seal...... If that's the case......" He didn't continue, he looked at the thin girl curled up in the blanket at the moment, and his heart was indescribably shocked and sad.

"You guessed right, the soul power pool will only continue to grow and never shrink, each of us is constantly breaking through the limit of our soul power, and the population of the royal family is also constantly multiplying and increasing, so this invisible pool no longer knows how huge it has expanded. Tianshu Youhua stretched out her hand, wiped the tears from her eyelashes, and smiled bitterly, "That's what makes this secret terrifying. In this world, there is a family, their strength continues to grow, people continue to die, people continue to be born, however, their strength will not be attenuated in any way, this group of people who are alive have the soul power value accumulated in the past hundreds or even thousands of years, isn't this terrible? Therefore, the silver priests made up their minds that no matter what, they would also separate the royal system from the royal family at all costs, and they needed another force to rise up and compete with this ancient family. ”

The flames in the fireplace had become much smaller, the temperature in the room had begun to drop, and the curtains had begun to let in some of the faint morning light.

"However, if there is such a huge secret flowing in the emperor's blood, how can no one have discovered it all this time?"

"Because it is impossible for people from the royal family to die suddenly in large numbers, no matter how strong a person's soul power is, it is limited, and when he dies, when the soul power value is evenly distributed to every royal family living in this world, the increase in soul power generated will not be noticed at all. It's like if you throw a small rock into a pond, theoretically, the water level of the pond must rise, but no one can notice the change in the water level. Therefore, for a long time, no one was aware that there was such an invisible pool of soul power that continued to accumulate power......"

"And how did this secret come to be?" asked Kirai.

"You should want it. Tianshu Youhua looked at Qi Ling, a little recovered from the depression just now, she looked at Qi Ling with interest, as if testing his thinking ability, "It's not okay to throw a stone in, so what if someone suddenly throws a thousand or ten thousand stones into it?"

Qi Ling turned his head sideways, his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "So, there was a plague or war or something like a plague in a place where many royal families gathered, which caused a large number of imperial blood to die?"

"That's right. The Heavenly Bouquet of Flowers waited for him to continue, "Which place in Yaslan has the most people from the royal family?"

"The Imperial Capital. "Qi Ling is a little confused, isn't this answer obvious.

"I'm not talking about Grant. Youhua looked at Qi Ling and said slowly.

Qi Ling's eyes gradually lit up, and there seemed to be stars floating in his eyes from the dark night sky: "Utur! Utur Ruins!

"Yes, the imperial capital of Utur suffered the destruction of the city, a large number of people of royal blood died instantly, and the drastically reduced population caused a super strong increase in the overflow of soul power, so the secret of the imperial blood was also exposed to the eyes of the silver priests. Tianbou Youhua sighed, "But I have to spoil your fun, as for why the former imperial capital of Utur suddenly turned into a city of death and sank to the ground, the answer-"

- Erased. Kirin sighed, "I know." ”

"After the secret of the imperial blood was discovered, the long process of stripping off the royal system and the royal system began. The existence of the secret of the imperial blood is also constantly weakened, hidden, and covered up...... With the rise of more and more new talents of Yaslan, the secret of the Imperial Blood and the secret of the immortal talent have really gradually sunk below the surface. People were dazzled by the increasingly strange and powerful talents born from this border, and the crisis between the royal family and the silver priests turned into a dormant volcano, completely asleep. There was a look of confusion in the eyes of the Heavenly Bouquet Youhua, "But what has always been strange to me is that new talents are born faster and faster, and a set of closed circuits that once took decades or even hundreds of years to mutate and complete will now suddenly rise somewhere in Yaslan......

"My strange place is not here. Qi Ling looked at Youhua, he thought about how to ask this question, "If the Silver Priests really feel that the royal family is a huge threat to them, then with their cruel methods, they shouldn't just kill you all, right......?"

"If we could kill us all, I'm sure the Silver Priest would do it. Tianshu Youhua smiled bitterly, "But they can't do it." ”

"Why can't you do it? Just arrest all of you royals and behead them together, right?" Kirin tightened his eyebrows, "Everyone is dead, no matter how big that pool is, it's useless, right?" ”

"The silver priest did not dare to take this risk. "Tianbou Youhua looked at Qi Ling's eyes," But if there is a person who has not been caught, for example, there is an illegitimate son of the royal family wandering among the people, no one knows his royal blood identity, and even, the time of death of these people is inconsistent, even if one person is one second later than the time when the head of everyone else hits the ground, within this second, he will instantly awaken into a monster that no one can imagine how powerful, therefore, the silver priest has always sent a large number of troops to protect the safety of the royal family, seemingly to maintain the dignity of the royal family, but in fact, to protect us from the decline of our population, this is a very clumsy method, and it even seems a little contradictory。 However, it is the best way for them to curb the expansion of the soul power pool at the moment: restricting the granting of seals and soul paths to the royal family, while massively expanding the population base of the imperial family. Let the population grow more than the growth of soul power, thus diluting the overflow value that everyone can get from the soul pool - that's why, when you first met our family's guard in Rennes City, he was all over the streets to help me find a man to marry, and I was only sixteen years old!"

Tianshu Youhua smiled, with a blush unique to a sixteen-year-old girl on her face. However, Qi Ling's heart seemed to be pinched hard by someone. It was as if a spot in his chest was freezing, and the ice beads spread along his bones to his entire torso, a chill and sympathy that penetrated through his heart made his eyes red. yes, she's only sixteen. But she lives forever. The Silver Priest couldn't catch all the people of the royal blood one by one, and no one could make everyone's heads hit the ground in the same second. However, she can do it, she is such a miracle, she doesn't have to do anything, she can do this, as long as she can stay alive, live in this world longer than anyone else, all the people of the royal family are dead, she is still alive, she is the last remaining immortal imperial blood in this world, she will be the last person to have the entire soul power pool......

Tianshu Youhua raised her head and looked at Qiling's red eyes, her smile gradually disappeared, like a delicate peach blossom drying and withering, her eyes instantly became red, crystal tears piled up under her eyes, she smiled, with tear stains, and said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that you have also thought of it, that's why, I would say, the superposition of immortal talent and royal bloodline is the most targeted...... Syrul is dead, and I'm the last one, but ......" Her tears fell widely, and her hands gripped the corners of Kirin's clothes hard, trembling, "...... But I don't want to be the last monster!" )
