"Okay, I got it," Ji Xinghuo nodded.
Cang Ya grasped his hand, "If you stay in my manor, even Xukun Tianlin will not dare to do anything; it’s absolutely safe."
"I can’t possibly live in your ho forever," Ji Xinghuo said with a smile, "I ca back this ti because I heard Donghuang Island is going to hold a large-scale auction. Do you have any insider information?"
"So you ca back for the auction," Cang Ya humd lightly, she had thought Ji Xinghuo missed her.
Ji Xinghuo quickly said, "The main reason was to see you."
"Really?"
Cang Ya stared into his eyes, smiling pleasantly, "Have you forgotten that I’m very good at reading people through their gaze?"
"It’s for the auction as well as for you," Ji Xinghuo corrected himself.
"Alright, I believe you."
Cang Ya did not press Ji Xinghuo further and said seriously, "Regarding this auction, I indeed have so insider information."
"Every three Star Realm years, our Canglong Family holds a ’Cangming Auction’ to collect and summarize treasure resources, earning a profit from it, and also strengthening the Canglong Family’s prestige, creating a high-end brand."
"Originally, this Cangming Auction was supposed to be held at the end of the cold season when the climate in the Sea Abyss is cold, entering a low hunting period, and the Sea Abyss Hunters would have returned to rest."
Ji Xinghuo nodded.
He had previously learned about the Cangming Auction, which is usually held at the end of the cold season; it had entered the cold season half a month ago.
"Why was it moved up?" he asked.
"It was by the Dragon Emperor’s order," Cang Ya said softly, "not long ago, His Majesty obtained an Eclipse Species, but it was incompatible, so he decided to put it up for auction to exchange it for other treasures or resources."
"Eclipse Species!"
Ji Xinghuo was taken aback.
Having already owned two Eclipse Species himself, he knew exactly how powerful and rare they were. Almost no one would want to miss out on an Eclipse Species unless it was completely incompatible and thus decide to let it go.
And generally, people wouldn’t dare to sell an Eclipse Species; if they got one, they would hide it away, making it difficult even to trade.
Only the Dragon Emperor could do such a thing without fear of others’ covetous eyes.
The chance to directly purchase an Eclipse Species was slim, perhaps not even once in a hundred years.
This Eclipse Species would undoubtedly be the focus and highlight of the Cangming Auction.
Needless to say, it would attract countless strong figures.
Ji Xinghuo curiously asked, "Has His Majesty revealed what kind of Species it is?"
"Multiple Personalities," Cang Ya replied.
"Never heard of it," Ji Xinghuo shook his head, but judging from the na, it should be a Mind Elent Ability.
Cang Ya continued, "This Eclipse Species has many different nas in different civilizations and races. In the Dynasty, it’s called Multiple Personalities, so call it ’Soul Eater’, or ’United’, ’Possession’."
"What effects does it have?"
"It pillages the minds of Mutants, rging with one’s consciousness, gaining the other’s Ability, knowledge, and mory, becoming a controlled personality of one’s own. Through personality switching, it possesses all the strength of that personality."
"It can also integrate its consciousness, Ability, and strength as one entity, directly entering the target Mutant’s body, taking control."
As Cang Ya explained the Ability, a hint of fear shone in her eyes.
Ji Xinghuo also listened with a tingling scalp.
Any Ability that has been rged once cannot be rged again, which prevents the most brutal survival of the fittest, forming the basis of the Star Realm and the various civilizations’ Race.
Otherwise, everything would fall into chaos.
But Multiple Personalities break this rule, allowing one to pillage others’ Abilities through taking their minds.
Imagine this.
If a Shepherd Star Saint, or even an Infinite Realm Master, found out his secret and possessed Multiple Personalities, they would show no hesitation, even pursuing him to the edge of the Milky Way to get at him.
A person’s Ability, knowledge, and mory are essentially the sa as one’s soul.
I think, therefore, I am.
For soone who has had their soul pillaged, it’s more painful than death.
Such a terrifying Species, and the Bibo Dragon Emperor is not using it himself, why put it up for auction?
Cang Ya seed to have understood Ji Xinghuo’s thoughts and said with a soft laugh, "You seem very worried about Multiple Personalities, is it because you have too many secrets?"
"Heh heh..."
Ji Xinghuo gave a dry laugh, feeling a bit guilty.
"You’re overthinking it," Cang Ya comforted her lover and said, "Multiple Personalities is not that fearso; it actually has its flaws."
"Oh?" Ji Xinghuo’s eyes flashed, "What flaw?"
Cang Ya explained, "Every ti a soul is pillaged, there is a ntal struggle between the host and the target, including already possessed personalities, to beco the dominant personality, gaining control over all personalities."
"Moreover, after the pillage, one must constantly suppress the other personalities."
She pointed to her head, "No one can guarantee victory in the ntal confrontation. If you lose, you might end up being possessed yourself."
"The more personalities there are, the more chaotic the ntal world becos."
"Eventually, it could lead to insanity."
Hearing this, Ji Xinghuo looked enlightened.
No wonder the Bibo Dragon Emperor was unwilling to rge with this Eclipse Species. Besides incompatibility, the bigger reason was not wanting to take risks.
As the Infinite Realm Master, the Dragon Emperor already had the power to dominate the Star Realm. There was no need to risk the integrity of his consciousness for an Eclipse Species, leaving himself vulnerable to others taking advantage.
Considering its flaw, most Shepherd Star Saints would probably also not dare to rge with Multiple Personalities.
