Chapter 1931: I Want to Become a Sword Spirit

The Spirit-Manifestation Talisman is the most suitable, but this talisman needs to be replaced every seven days, and that time has already passed.

"Can you tell me the truth, how much longer can I maintain my current form?" Moli suddenly spoke up.

Originally, when Chen Yu had just saved her, she was a mass of gas that would shatter at a single touch.

But after being nourished by the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit-Manifestation Talisman, her Primordial Qi has recovered somewhat, and her soul-body seems more condensed than before.

So she is able to speak and possesses self-awareness, but she cannot maintain it for very long.

"It doesn't matter," Chen Yu said leisurely. "The most important thing for a person is to live in the moment; you just need to know that your consciousness hasn't dissipated and you haven't been wiped out of existence yet."

"But I feel that is only a matter of time," Moli sighed slightly.

"You feel uncomfortable staying in there, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"A place that isn't very big at all, do you think it would be comfortable to stay inside?" Moli countered.

"There's no other way; currently, this is the only method to maintain your form," Chen Yu said. "If we don't do this, you will be completely wiped out of existence."

"Wiped out of existence, is it really as terrifying as you say?" Moli raised her head to look at Chen Yu.

"If you go through Reincarnation, you still have a next life, an endless cycle," Chen Yu said. "But being wiped out of existence means having every trace of you in this world erased entirely."

"Perhaps after a few decades, your parents will be gone, your younger brother will be old, and by then, no one in this world will remember you; it will be as if you never appeared at all. Do you think that is terrifying or not?"

Moli was silent for a moment; one's thoughts before death and after death are different. Now, she is truly quite afraid that all traces of her in this world will disappear.

"Is there really no other way?" Moli asked.

"You were struck by high-intensity particles while in the laboratory and lost your soul; what you are now is just a bit of consciousness barely maintaining a human shape," Chen Yu said. "After I return to the country, I will send you to a place where you can nourish your divine sense."

"Then I will think of a way to complete your soul; if that happens, you will be able to undergo Reincarnation. The whole process is very long, so you must be mentally prepared."

"These words of yours, you're lying to me, aren't you?" Moli suddenly smiled. "There is no possibility for me to undergo Reincarnation at all; the reason you said that is just to give me a little hope."

Chen Yu raised his head and glanced at her: "Sometimes being too smart is really not a good thing."

"My IQ isn't particularly high, but it is still a cut above normal people," Moli smiled slightly. "It's just that later, a change occurred in my family, and my life plummeted."

"That is why I became obsessed with chasing profit later on, but my foundation is still there."

"That's right, I was comforting you; your soul isn't lost, but incomplete," Chen Yu sighed and said. "An incomplete soul cannot be restored, not even an Immortal can do it."

"But your consciousness will exist in this form; this can be considered a way out of no other options. At least it's better than being wiped out of existence."

"Haha, that is what you think, but I think that drifting in this world like a puff of smoke every day, I am not reconciled to it." Moli's laughter gradually stopped. "If I can only exist in this form from now on, then I would rather die."

"It seems I was wrong," Chen Yu sighed. "I shouldn't have saved you."

"You indeed shouldn't have saved me. I begged you, hoping you could help me once at my critical moment, but you refused," Moli said through gritted teeth. "Since that's the case, then why did you save me later?"

"When you were in a ghost state, you kept wandering by my side. Even when you didn't speak at that time, I knew you were asking me for help," Chen Yu said faintly.

"Moreover, the relationship between you and me had not reached the point of me needing to save your life, and furthermore, those were all your own choices."

Moli was silent for a while. Indeed, Chen Yu had no such obligation, and he had warned and advised her more than once, but she had been blinded by greed at the time and simply could not listen.

"So, no matter what stage you reach, never blame heaven or others; this is your own choice, understand?" Chen Yu stood up and took out a talisman: "Gathering Spirit Talisman, go inside."

"I don't want to go back in," Moli shook her head. She raised her eyes to look at Chen Yu: "Let me be outside and fend for myself; at least before I truly die, I can still take a good look at this world."

"You're serious?" Chen Yu looked at Moli in surprise; this woman has truly cast aside all thoughts of life and death now.

"Serious," Moli nodded. She smiled slightly and said: "Yes, what you said is absolutely correct."

"The path was chosen by myself, so I have the result I have today; I don't blame anyone, I blame my own willfulness."

"Realizing it now seems a bit late," Chen Yu shook his head and put the talisman away. "However, you could also exist in this world in another form."

"Are there other methods? Without having to stay in that tiny Talisman Paper?" A flash of surprise rose in Moli's eyes.

"Of course," Chen Yu nodded. "Although it won't give you flesh and blood, at least it can give you a body of steel, and you can move within a small range, and it can also upgrade and change as it is nourished by Spiritual Energy."

"Do I need to pay any price?" Moli asked.

"How did you know that a price would need to be paid?" Chen Yu smiled slightly; it seems that after experiencing certain things, Moli clearly knows the dangers of this world.

"Because there is never a free lunch in this world, so I feel that I will definitely have to pay a corresponding price," Moli said.

"Condense into a sword spirit, existing forever in a sword in a spirit state. You can possess your own consciousness, and it will also grow as the master's strength increases," Chen Yu said. "Your consciousness will be undying and indestructible, but it will be hidden within the sword."

"During the time when the sword changes masters, you will fall into a life as dark as night. This period will be very long; perhaps a year, perhaps a century."

"So that's how it is," Moli suddenly realized. She nodded slightly: "Then will I become a sharp weapon for killing, just like the sword?"

"Yes," Chen Yu nodded. "As the sword's momentum becomes increasingly sharp, you will also undergo changes; you will become a sword spirit and possess your own means of attack."

"But in this way, you will become a sharp weapon for killing in the future; can you accept that?"

"What is there that I cannot accept?" Moli smiled slightly. She nodded: "I agree, but I want to become your sword spirit."
