Chapter 1044: Past And Future Bodies (2)

The death spirit known as Xing Yue blanked out. A certain scene had emerged out of nowhere in its mind. In that scene, a massive furball had appeared before Xing Yue. Beside Xing Yue was the stone statue.

That was a scene from the past. A scene from the moment when Su Yu was in the middle of being coverted into a resident.

With a doubtful expression, the massive furball looked at Su Yu and muttered, "Am I dreaming again?"

How odd. The big furball looked at Su Yu, wondering about all his recent dreams.

He then stared at the stone statue and the death spirit. After a while, a tiny limb stretched out of his furry body as he rubbed the stone statue's head before rubbing the death spirit's head while muttering, "Am I dreaming again? Am I traveling to the past in my dream again?"

"..."

Both the stone statue and the death spirit were utterly dumbstruck.

After thinking for a bit, the big furball said, "I need you to take care of the young lad from my family. The Soul Devourer Realm is too far so I won't be coming. Uhm...I'm not too late, right?"

Both Grandstar and Xing Yue were still completely stunned.

After a long while, Grandstar said, "Soul Devourer Pseudo Emperor."

The stone statue inhaled deeply. Why did this fellow use such a method to meet them? Time rewind?

The big furball said, "All you stone statues look the same...whatever. Uhm...yeah, look after the young lad from my family..."

Why were these words so familiar? The big furball kept wondering if this was a dream yet again.

He looked at Su Yu again and asked, "That human lad seems to be a friend of the young lad from my family. Is he becoming a death spirit?"

After a while, he said, "Just take care of them. Bye."

The scene ended there.

An additional memory had appeared out of nowhere in Xing Yue's mind. Or to be precise, that memory had always been there. But all of a sudden, it had reemerged with some real-time alterations.

What did that signify? Basically, the big furball was rewinding time right at this moment. After waking up, the big furball had decided to rewind time and tell them to take care of his kid.

Xing Yue sighed inwardly. This was a demonstration of true time rewind. That was perhaps the only way to cause someone to suddenly gain additional memories.

A regular time rewind would not be able to affect the people in the past. For example, back when Silk Destroying King brought Feng Ji back to the past to search for Chen Yong, Chen Yong was completely unaware.

But if it had been a true time rewind, Chen Yong would have gained additional memories of his meeting with Silk Destroying King.

Soul Devourer Pseudo Emperor.

"Why is the death qi in my body growing so fast? Is it the same for everyone? If that's the case, won't anyone else die in only a few days?"

Su Yu was feeling quite doubtful. If he didn't know the reversal art, he would have died not longer after his conversion. But some residents were clearly able to stay alive for decades or even a hundred years. How was that happening? How weird.

Su Yu was confused. Were those people simply using heavenly source qi every single day? But even if one only used a drop per day, in one year, one would use 360 drops. In 100 years, one would use 36,000 drops.

Was this a joke? This would simply be unaffordable no matter how rich one was. In that case, how were the other residents staying alive?

Suddenly, Su Yu recalled something. Previously, a few death spirits had exploded while trying to complete his conversion. First, it was a Cloudbreach. Then, it was a Mountainsea. Next, it was a Sunmoon...

All those fellows had exploded. Only at the very end did the death sovereign appear.

"Is the growth of death qi dependent on the death spirit completing the conversion?"

That was Su Yu's guess.

In reality, he was right. Generally, a Cloudbreach would be converted by a Cloudbreach death spirit. The growth of death qi would be similar to the cultivation speed of a Cloudbreach. As long as one cultivated hard, one would be able to slow the growth. Of course, unexpected incidents might still happen to slow one's cultivation rate and increase the growth of death qi.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was converted by a death sovereign. This was basically a special treatment reserved only for geniuses. That way, the converted resident would die earlier.

The death sovereign would even personally welcome the resident upon death. This was a treatment a normal resident would not receive. That was why Su Yu's death qi was growing at an incredibly fast pace. If it was anyone else, that person would have transformed into a death spirit by now.

But Su Yu was able to remain alive. Instead, he had even reversed some of the death qi. Even Xing Yue was surprised to see that Su Yu was still alive. But it didn't matter. It was only natural for a genius to have some tricks up his sleeve. Without such trump cards, Su Yu might not have dared to even convert into a resident.

***

As Su Yu roamed the streets, he noted that the city was still filled with death spirits. They would remain for at least three days. He was basically the sole living being on the streets. When he reached the gate, he looked outside...and was stunned.

The sea?

Yes. At the moment, the city was floating on the sea. There was no longer any land around the city. How terrifying. Was the entire Ninestar Island gone?

Su Yu shook his head speechlessly.

He sat atop the city wall and enjoyed the view. When the death spirits saw him, the weaker ones would even move away from him. He did not mind their actions, but he was starting to feel lonely sitting there alone.

Not a single living being could be seen outside. How regretful. All the living beings were probably trembling in fear inside these buildings. Nobody had the courage to leave. That was understandable. There were so many Sunmoon death spirits in the city. As far as they knew, there might even be Invincible death spirits in the city. Who would dare to come outside?

They could only pray that their buildings would be sturdy enough. To make things worse, the death qi density in the city had increased to a terrifying level. A lot of people were reaching their limits.

After a while, Su Yu continued roaming the streets. After a while, he resisted the urge to laugh. He had actually found two bloodstained talismans during his stroll. Evidently, some people were trying to convert into residents after reaching their limits. As a civic-minded person, Su Yu picked up the two talismans while grumbling that they shouldn't litter.

He didn't care who they were. He didn't care if they were dead or alive. The truly cowardly ones would have fled long ago. The ones who had remained long enough to be trapped in the city were the brazen ones. In any case, he was sure these weren't humans. He would be able to notice it from the blood alone if they were humans.
