Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1173 - 1173 737 Raising a Dragon for a Thousand

Chapter 1173: Chapter 737: Raising a Dragon for a Thousand Years, Your Turn Chapter 1173: Chapter 737: Raising a Dragon for a Thousand Years, Your Turn Everyone shuddered, and Negris and Anthony were overjoyed. Hadn’t they traveled so far just to find Lidali? And to encounter him by such good luck?

“Fantastic, no need to go back and fetch people. Let’s go et this Lidali and ask him what the matter with Old Immortal is all about,” Negris exclaid excitedly.

The group hustled to the surface, arriving swiftly. Ange scanned the skies and suddenly raised his hand, stopping everyone.

Was there a situation? Everyone shrank back, leaned back, and then cautiously peeked out to see what was happening. However, besides seeing a pitch-dark void, they could see nothing else.

Negris simply projected onto Ange’s body to share his vision and imdiately saw a scene that made his soul shiver.

Negris’s soul perception range was very small. Looking out from his eyes, the sky was pitch black, no different from the earlier void.

But through Ange’s vision, shadows lood in the void, countless undead beings floating about, engulfing the entire plane; they seed to have rged with the void, like a bunch of ghosts… Uh, they indeed were a bunch of ‘dead’ spirits.

Among all the shadows, the most conspicuous were two undead in the front row, one of whom must have been Lidali, who had just emitted the soul howl.

What shocked Negris, however, was the undead next to Lidali, who wore a crisp cape with a high collar standing upright.

“Void Ghost Hayden?! Wasn’t he dead? How could he be here?” Negris couldn’t help but cry out.

Returning to his own body, Negris recounted what he had seen to everyone else. The appearance of Void Ghost Hayden equally shocked Anthony, “Wasn’t he dead? The Lord had even soul searched him.”

“Yes, we even apologized to Locke afterward, saying we accidentally killed one of his people. Locke said he wasn’t his people but a human reborn, bound only by a loyalty oath. A human reincarnated ghost, and having been soul searched by Ange, how could he appear here? And it looks like his soul strength far exceeds Hayden’s level. Could it be not the sa person, just similar in dress style?” Negris wondered.

Anthony frowned and pondered, speaking as he thought, “If this is indeed Hayden, but his soul is stronger, and the original Hayden was a human reincarnation who was soul searched and died beyond death, but this one is still alive, then the only possibility for this situation is soul possession.”

“You an to say, this Hayden projected so of his power to the Star Burst Plane, ford a soul, then possessed a body and reincarnated into an undead? How is that possible? Ange had soul searched him, and there was no mory of this place inside,” Negris said doubtfully.

“It’s possible. If the power he projected was too small and the soul ford was unstable, then after possession, he couldn’t connect with the main soul due to the distance being too great. He could only sever their soul contact, maintaining an indirect imprint and sensing it from ti to ti. The possessed soul would then grow independently,” said Anthony.

“But what’s the point of that? A separately grown soul is a completely independent entity with its own will; he can’t control it,” Negris said, puzzled.

“He might not need to control it. He just needs news from the Star Burst Plane. Hayden is his dium for gathering information without Hayden needing to know of his existence, thus controlling Hayden’s actions,” Anthony explained.

“How could that be? You an to say that Hayden didn’t know about the existence of this Undead, so there are no mories related to him in his soul? How could he be controlled?” Negris retorted.

Anthony looked at him calmly, his face showing an expression of ‘you know too little’ as he said, “It’s very easy. Have you ever felt this sentence sounded familiar like you’ve heard soone say it before, or the scene before you feels like sothing you’ve seen before, or that this person seems particularly close to you, have you ever felt that?”

Before Negris could respond, Pink Hem eagerly interjected, “Yes, yes, yes, I feel like you’re particularly close, like I’ve seen you before.”

Ignoring her, Negris thought for a mont and then nodded, “When I was alive, I occasionally had such feelings. Sotis when I went to a strange place, I would suddenly feel like I had been there before, even though it was clearly my first visit.”

“If since childhood a voice in your head constantly tells you that becoming an Undead is the best, that you could live forever without death or pain, would you want to beco an Undead when you grew up? If since childhood a voice tells you that mother dragons are terrifying and that they bite, would you end up never marrying and remain single till death?”

Hearing this, Negris couldn’t help but start trembling and said anxiously, “Could it be that I was also possessed by a soul in my childhood? I really did think mother dragons were terrifying since I was little, which is why I focused on my studies and remained single till death. Oh, God, was I really possessed by a soul since childhood?”

Anthony rolled his eyes and said with a tone of annoyance, “Your feeling probably isn’t possession, but rather the truth.”

From the mother dragons Anthony had seen, none were not terrifying—Brooks’ wife, the Red Copper Dragon Mildity, even Griffin, whom the Dragon Head had bred, were all very scary. It was quite normal that Negris was engrossed in studies given such an environnt.

Moreover, theoretically, he was indeed possessed, as inheriting the bloodline of the Dragon God wasn’t much different from such a possession.

“That’s true. So are you saying that this Undead imprinted a mark on Hayden, subtly shaping him into a United Sorcerer and transforming him into an Undead, yet Hayden doesn’t know about the existence of this Undead?” summarized Negris.

Anthony nodded, “Deep down, he should have felt sothing, but mories can’t manifest this feeling, hence it can’t be found through Soul Search.”

“How do you know so much?” Negris asked, puzzled. Such thods of soul possession were unheard of, how was this Death God’s Staff so knowledgeable?

Anthony smiled wryly, “Back when the world’s transit station shut down and we couldn’t enter Resting Camp, I tried using a similar thod to enter the Master Plane, but at that ti I had a Teleportation Array, so it wasn’t far to the Master Plane, and I didn’t need to sever the Soul Contact, otherwise, I would have used this thod.”

I see, no wonder it felt so familiar, Negris nodded and said, “So you an we didn’t kill his doppelganger, but killed a being with its own consciousness? Then we don’t need to worry about him hating us.”

Anthony said sowhat speechlessly, “That was a being he painstakingly nurtured, akin to his creation, maybe even raised like his own son, we killed his ‘son,’ how could he not hate us? Even if he doesn’t, we can’t put adults in danger. An entire Undead Army is out there, what if they suddenly turn hostile?”

“But they are the subjects of the Old Immortal, how could they turn hostile?” Negris said.

Anthony spread his hands open, “How would I know? What if he hates us now? Therefore, even after a thousand years of dragon rearing, you go.”
