Chapter 268: Soul Replication
Buddha Heart saw her smile and lowered his eyes, hiding the fleeting smile in them.
His Quanquan is so smart, she must have realized it…
When Huang Quan saw him lower his eyes, she put away the smile in her eyes and looked at Rong Mian. “I don’t mind if he listens, go ahead and speak.”
Rong Mian’s gaze shifted between the two of them, and he finally came to a conclusion.
These two have a complicated relationship!
“Since you don’t mind him listening, I’ll speak,” Rong Mian said, looking at Huang Quan. “First, let me explain how I was able to use the divine kingdom’s formation, and even summon this tower.”
Buddha Heart and Huang Quan said nothing; they just quietly watched him.
Rong Mian looked at Huang Quan. “Do you know what replication is?”
“Replication?”
Huang Quan frowned. “What do you mean?”
Rong Mian replied, “Soul replication.”
As soon as Rong Mian said this, Huang Quan understood, and a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes as she looked at him.
Soul replication—it’s like replicating one person from another, but the replicated person will definitely differ from the original. No matter how real it seems, there will be differences.
The soul is the same.
“Are you saying your soul is a replication?” Huang Quan asked Rong Mian.
“Yes,” Rong Mian nodded. “When I first dreamed about it, I didn’t believe it, but after the second and third dreams, I started to believe.”
“So, I chose to face death.”
His soul was a replication.
At that time, he was just the son of the lord of Luoyou City, and no matter how talented he was, he couldn’t understand that his soul was a replication.
Even a soul can be replicated—what kind of immense power would that require?
But why replicate a soul?
Why was his soul the one that was replicated?
Could something have happened because of this?
That was the time when Zhong Yu was injured.
Zhong Yu almost died several times. During the period when Rong Mian was taking care of him, he kept having that dream. Even so, he never let Zhong Yu notice anything was wrong.
But the fact that he wasn’t a normal person was a hidden danger.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him, nor did he know if his condition would bring any danger to Zhong Yu.
The people of Luoyou City were right—he was a monster.
What does it mean to be emotionless?
A soul replication—that’s the real monster.
In the end, he chose to face death.
He chose to imprison his soul, not only to make those people disappear forever but also to see how his soul differed from others.
But then, he attracted this tower.
Rong Mian said, “After those men in white robes appeared, I asked them why they chose me to guard the tower.”
“They said it was because my soul possessed divine power.”
“Beyond that, they told me nothing more,” Rong Mian continued slowly. “But during all these years of being confined here, I’ve been thinking about the reason.”
“Later, I figured it out.”
“My soul is a replication, and the original must have been some god.”
“As for why my soul attracted this tower, I don’t know, but the fact that those men in white robes said my soul had divine power indicates that they knew my soul’s original was some god. Since they belong to the Divine Kingdom, they shouldn’t have imprisoned the replica of a god’s soul to guard the tower. But they did, so I think they must be opposed to that god.”
“This tower is related to that god, so as a replicant, I was able to attract this tower. They followed the tower, capturing people who could guard it, and then used them to suppress this tower.”
“Why suppress this tower? Maybe it’s because of the death energy, or maybe for some other reason.”
Chapter 269: It Can Only Be That God
“Everything I’ve said is just my speculation—it might be right, it might be wrong,” Rong Mian said, looking at Huang Quan. “What I’ve told you can only be used as a reference.”
Huang Quan looked at him without speaking.
Rong Mian met her gaze. “Now it’s time to talk about your third brother.”
Huang Quan frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
And sure enough…
Rong Mian continued, “The moment your third brother entered the city, his soul automatically left his body and appeared on the seventh level.”
“When I saw your third brother, I was surprised…”
“This tower can imprison evil spirits and is capable of capturing souls, yet your third brother passed through to the seventh level without any hindrance,” Rong Mian said. “I was surprised to see him, and he was equally surprised to see me.”
“He asked me who I was, why I was here, and why he was here.”
“When I saw him, it was like looking at another version of myself, so I brought his body here, placed his soul back into his body, and then occupied his body.”
“Huang Quan, your third brother’s soul can move freely within the tower, and I was able to occupy his body—these things suggest that your third brother is like me.”
“His soul is also a replication.”
Buddha Heart looked at Huang Quan, his eyes full of concern.
After hearing this, Huang Quan chuckled lightly. “Rong Mian, my third brother’s soul could not possibly be a replication.”
Rong Mian looked at her. “Huang Quan, Nangong Mian and I are the same; we are both replicated souls, and we come from the same god. Essentially, he and I are the same person.”
“We are both soul replicants. I had Zhong Yu appear in my life, and he had the High Priest appear in his. If we weren’t the same person, how could there be such a coincidence?”
“I’ll say it again—my third brother cannot be a replication,” Huang Quan said, looking at Rong Mian, emphasizing each word. “Rong Mian, I don’t know what kind of dreams you had to make you believe you’re a replicant, but let me tell you, my third brother is not!”
“If my third brother were a replicant like you, he should have grown up like you did. But my third brother didn’t—he cries, he laughs, he gets angry, he feels sad. He can be affectionate toward our parents and siblings, he can be protective and loving toward his younger sister. He is different from you.”
“As for why my brother can move freely within this tower, I don’t know the reason yet, but I don’t accept what you’re saying,” Huang Quan said coldly, looking at Rong Mian. “Even if my third brother does have some connection to you as you suggest, it can only be the connection between an original and a replicant.”
“If he has nothing to do with you, that’s best.”
“If he is connected to you, then it can only mean that he is the original god, not some replicant. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Rong Mian looked at her and smiled.
It can only be that god?
Even if Nangong Mian is a replicant, she will make him a true god, make him the original.
“Huang Quan, your brother is lucky to have you as his sister.”
“You’re mistaken,” Huang Quan replied. “I’ve always believed that I’m the lucky one to have him as my brother.”
“This matter isn’t that simple,” Rong Mian said, looking at her. “The line of life and death—I possess the life line, Zhong Yu possesses the death line, the High Priest who is with you all also has the death line, and your third brother should have the life line.”
“Should?”
Huang Quan chuckled. “Rong Mian, you’re in my third brother’s body right now, and you’ve even seen the state of his soul. Did you see the life line in him?”
Rong Mian was stunned.
Huang Quan looked at him and said, “You didn’t see it. If you had, you wouldn’t have used the word ‘should.'”
