Chapter 438 Life Modification

With a cold expression, Qin Wu said, “This war has lasted for more than 800 years . Every year, more unstable World Entrances appear . Billions of people have suffered because of the demons . Many Godfiends have experienced hardship . Would all of them collude with the demons just as he did? We have strictly forbidden them from colluding with the demons repeatedly . After all, they’re betraying humanity by doing so . However, he still insisted on colluding with them . ”

“He has caused the deaths of millions of mortals as well as many Godfiends . ” Qin Wu sneered . “He only believes in himself . He doesn’t believe in what the sect says . He doesn’t believe in mortals or ordinary Godfiends . From his point of view, the weak can be sacrificed .

“With such a personality, he has already lost himself . If it’s during normal times, he should be executed,” said Qin Wu coldly . “Even now, we can’t let him escape punishment just because he can atone for his sins . ”

“We need to punish him severely . ” Luo Tang nodded . “The problem is how we will make him atone for his sins towards the human race . His Essence Soul is now flawed; there’s another consciousness within it . ” The guardian chipped in . “Through the Heart Sea Palace, one can wipe out the newly-born evil consciousness . However, due to the flaws that come from cultivating that special Essence Soul mystic technique, another evil consciousness will still be born as time passes . The evil consciousness will then continue to grow stronger . ”

Li Guan pondered for a moment and said, “First, kill the evil consciousness within before modifying his life . Wipe out his Essence Soul completely! Without an Essence Soul, the mystic technique will be useless . ”

“Life modification?” Meng Chuan finally spoke . “How?”

“We can make him into a puppet like the Guardian Divine Beasts,” explained Li Guan . “Even without an Essence Soul, one can become such a puppet . However, his consciousness and memories will completely merge with the puppet . He can still maintain his current technique realm through this method . The current Guardian Divine Beasts were all left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon . ”

“There are many types of life modification . With the resources our Archean Mountain has accumulated, we can do more than ten types of modifications, ” said Qin Wu . “There are only two types of modifications that wipes away an Essence Soul . One modification is the Ice Guard . The other is Streaming Fire Life . Out of the two, Streaming Fire Life has a higher mortality rate during the modification . The Ice Guard has a lower mortality rate . ”

Although Meng Chuan had the authority to know about such secrets, he didn’t have time to study it in-depth .

Qin Wu, Li Guan, and company had clearly studied Archean Mountain’s secrets more than he did .

“Let him be an Ice Guard . There’s a 70% chance of success,” said Li Guan . “Streaming Fire Life is too incompatible with us humans . The probability of success is too low . ”

“Meng Chuan . ” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan and explained, “Ice Guards are lifeforms that are fundamentally different from us . They aren’t made of flesh and blood . They are a special ice lifeform produced in the River of Spacetime . They have an ice body . During the modification process, one’s Essence Soul will completely melt, becoming nutrients for their ice body . This makes their ice body extremely powerful! An Ice Guard’s ice body is very powerful, but they will die once it shatters . ” “Furthermore, after the modification process, the ice body can no longer be improved . One’s Essence Soul is also gone forever . One can only continue to improve their technique realm . Once one’s lifespan is up, they will naturally die .

“However, Ice Guards are still very powerful modified lifeforms,” said Qin Wu wistfully . “In the River of Spacetime, many people—who have no hope of breaking through-have studied life modification techniques . They hope to increase their lifespan or increase their strength through such means . ”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly .

Life modification techniques were double-edged swords . It severed one’s cultivation path and expended precious resources . Failure during the modification meant death…

However, there were all sorts of benefits . One’s lifespan might increase; their strength might increase, etc .

“Becoming a Dao Protector also changes one’s life essence,” said Luo Tang . “As long as one has a fifth-level Essence Soul, one can possess a Dao Protector’s body . Although one needs to meditate most of the time—they can only be lucid for a period of time—they will gain over 1,000 years in lifespan! A Dao Protector’s body is indestructible . It’s a great opportunity for Regis Godfiends that have reached the end of their lifespans . ”

Meng Chuan and company quickly made their decision . “Although he is now loyal to the human race and hates the demons, who knows what will happen in the future? Our punishment might result in him resenting us . Maybe that resentment will develop, causing him to betray humanity even more,” said Li Guan . “Therefore, before we begin the life modification process, he must swear an oath in Heart Sea Palace . ”

Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang nodded .

“After transforming into an Ice Guard, we will banish him to the World Gap . He is forbidden from returning to the human world for 300 years,” said Li Guan . “He will perpetually guard the World Gap and hunt down the demons that enter . He will only be allowed to return when 300 years are up . ”

“Alright . ”

“Agreed . ”

“This can be considered as a way for him to atone his sins . ” Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan agreed to the plan .

If this were a peaceful era, he would have long been executed . However, an expert with the strength of a Creation Supremacy was too precious . It was too wasteful to execute him directly .

After King Calm Sea patrolled the World Gap for 300 years, his remaining lifespan would be very short . Only then would he be allowed to return to the human world to take a look .

“Xue Ting, you are aware of your punishment . ” Li Guan looked at him . “Do you have any objections?”

“It’s my wish to hunt down the demons . I’m naturally willing . ” King Calm Sea revealed a rare smile . “If I die during the life modification process, I have no complaints . ”

Meng Chuan watched from the side .

“Before that, I want to write a letter . ” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan . “I hope King Eastcalm can pass it to Yan Jin . ”

“If there’s nothing wrong with the letter, I can pass it to him for you,” said Meng Chuan .

If King Calm Sea had any tricks up his sleeves to deal with Yan Jin, he wouldn’t help him pass the letter to his son .

“It’s a very simple letter . ” King Calm Sea smiled and looked around . “Do you have a brush and paper?” .

Meng Chuan waved his hand and prepared a table, brush, and paper . As someone who often painted, he naturally had these things on him .

King Calm Sea placed the paper on the table and began writing carefully .

“I’ll be fighting in the World Gap . If you want to meet me, get the right to enter the World Gap first . ” King Calm Sea finished writing the sentences before handing the letter to Meng Chuan . He smiled and said, “He will definitely seek me in the future . I might as well tell him in advance . ”

“Even ordinary Regis Godfiends are currently forbidden from entering the World Gap,” said Qin Wu with a frown .

“Very good . ” King Calm Sea smiled . “If he wants to see me, he has to become stronger . ”

Meng Chuan frowned . “Is that how you should treat your son?” “I have my ways of educating my children,” said King Calm Sea with a smile . “Even if you don’t give him this letter, he will still crazily seek me out in the future . ”

Meng Chuan said indifferently, “I’ll give it to him at the appropriate time . ” Meng Chuan also understood Yan Jin’s obsession .

“It’s up to you . ” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan carefully . “I’ve been cultivating for over 100 years, but I haven’t been able to see any hope of victory . I felt like I was blindly searching in the darkness . However, I never expected that you, Meng Chuan, to change the war’s trajectory single-handedly . You have truly allowed me to see the light .

“I’m very happy to see Meng Chuan appear . I always believed that I couldn’t pin my hopes on others; that I could only trust myself . ” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan . “From the looks of it, I can trust others . ”

Following that, King Calm Sea swore an oath and underwent life modification .

Humph .

King Calm Sea sat cross-legged in a huge pool . His body gradually turned transparent as endless frost gathered in his body . He couldn’t help but grunt softly . Clearly, he was in immense pain .

Meng Chuan and company watched from the side .

I once saw two scenes in the Spacetime Floating Ice . As Meng Chuan thought about it, the scene of his white-haired self holding Demon Slayer and angrily roaring at King Calm Sea-who laughed maniacally-appeared in his mind .

In that scene, I was stronger than I was now . King Calm Sea was also stronger . In that scene, he had already become a Creation Supremacy . Now, regardless of whether the life modification process succeeds or fails, he can no longer become a Creation Supremacy . That scene will never come to fruition .

The Spacetime Floating Ice only revealed the possibilities of the various timelines .

If King Calm Sea had continued cultivating the meditation technique, he mightn’t have been exposed so early . He could’ve become a Creation Supremacy before his misdeeds were discovered .

Since spacetime can be changed, I wonder if I will still have white hair in the future? Meng Chuan pondered .
