Chapter 499 Beastman Continent (12)
Next, this second grandfather told them an outrageous yet true story.
Simply put, it's a story of substitution, where twin sisters even choose similar beast husbands.
It still sounds absurd. No matter how similar two people are, their auras are different. How could they impersonate each other for so many years without being discovered?
Wangyou didn't quite believe it, but it was the truth.
However, Wangyou didn't ask any more questions. The original purpose was to find the Dragon Clan. Now that they had found them, nothing else mattered. Even if there were any conspiracies or tricks, they could just overturn them.
Moreover, Wangyou didn't sense any malice from this person.
The three of them returned to the Dragon Clan. Only then did Wangyou learn that the Dragon Clan had the Marrow Cleansing Pool and the Dragon Transformation Pool. The Marrow Cleansing Pool was used to lay the foundation for the young cubs, while the Dragon Transformation Pool was prepared for those clansmen whose bloodline was not pure, with a 50% chance of transforming into dragons.
Finally, Qianmu and Wangyou went into the Marrow Cleansing Pool. Although Qianmu was not of dragon blood, he had awakened the White Tiger bloodline, so the Marrow Cleansing Pool was opened as an exception.
Wangyou thought the Marrow Cleansing Pool wouldn't have any effect on her, but when she entered, she discovered a familiar aura—the aura of her own soul.
I can't understand it no matter how hard I try. Can a person's soul be divided into many parts?
Because of this familiar scent, Wangyou kept walking deeper and deeper. Others stopped, but she kept going until she reached the deepest part of the Marrow Cleansing Pool.
Outside the Marrow Cleansing Pool, a large crowd had gathered because the pillar outside the pool, which had never been lit for years, suddenly lit up at an astonishing speed, illuminating the entire dragon race and even alarming the old monsters who were in seclusion.
In the deepest part of her soul, Wangyou saw a broken and shattered soul. Upon closer inspection, it looked almost exactly like her. The difference was that one had a cold and aloof temperament and was curious about everything, while the other was full of sorrow and seemed to have suffered great trauma.
As soon as Wangyou arrived, this wisp of remnant soul tried to enter Wangyou's body, but Wangyou's long-standing caution stopped it and put it away.
Regardless of all that, Wangyou began to cultivate earnestly in the Marrow Cleansing Pool.
After an unknown amount of time, a beautiful silver dragon soared into the sky, its thousands of feet long body blotting out the sun.
Meanwhile, the sleeping Forget-Worry True Self awakened and took over this body.
At the same time, the world began to change. The first thing to happen was that the Heavenly Dao awakened, and the cracks in the world were repaired.
After saying goodbye to Qianhe and Qianmu, Wangyou left.
She had witnessed the development of this world, specifically the story of a person who transmigrated into the Beast World, sparking conflict among various races and ultimately leading to widespread devastation.
However, Wangyou's early awakening allowed the Heavenly Dao to be restored and the world's rifts to be completely repaired, thus cutting off the transmigrated woman's route and leaving her with nothing to do.
Back in her space, Wangyou retrieved the remnant of her soul. At that moment, she suddenly felt a sense of fear. She had always believed that her soul was complete, but in reality, it was incomplete, especially since her remaining emotional root was stirring restlessly.
Wangyou re-examined her soul and discovered that the Love Soul among the Seven Souls was just an empty shell, devoid of spirit, while the other souls each possessed their own spirit.
That fragmented soul is very likely the spirit of her beloved.
Of all things in this world, love is the most difficult to understand.
Judging from the extent of damage to that remnant soul, it had definitely suffered tremendous trauma, most likely emotional intelligence. Over the years, she had wandered the mortal realm and seen countless lovesick men and women. Although she hadn't personally experienced how hurtful love could be, she had seen enough.
To be honest, Wangyou is quite disgusted by this; she doesn't want to be love-struck!
But if she didn't want it, she didn't know if it would cause her any harm. Wangyou was very conflicted, so she went to talk to Pangu about it.
"Brother, I just discovered today that my Love Soul is just an empty shell, and then I accidentally picked up the spirit of my Love Soul. It's really terrible. I don't want it, but I don't know if not keeping it will cause me any harm!"
Wangyou was truly conflicted. She had almost no emotions or desires and felt that this was fine. She was used to it. If she suddenly developed them, wouldn't it be strange?
"Just do what makes you happy!"
Wangyou thought there would be no response, but unexpectedly Pangu responded, even though it was only four words, it was still a response.
"That's only a part of your soul; the rest is scattered across the three thousand worlds. Whether you look for it or not depends on your thoughts; it won't have any impact on you."
Pangu said a few more words last time, but then there was no further response.
Wangyou gave half of her merits to Pangu and stared blankly at the glass ball containing Ai's soul.
"Master, what's wrong?" Duobao opened his eyes and saw Wangyou staring blankly.
"I'm wondering what kind of damage this wisp of love's soul suffered to become so broken, and I'm wondering whether I should merge with it."
“Master, you can’t merge with it even if you try. This wisp of divine soul is filled with resentment,” Duobao whispered.
"I can absorb resentment, it's not a big deal. I'm just wondering if being ruthless is a good thing or a bad thing."
“Master, everything has two sides. Whether you are affectionate or heartless, it’s still you. However, I still hope that you can be more complete. Moreover, if the resentment is directly absorbed by you, it may leave drawbacks in the future,” Duobao said cautiously.
"What should we do then?" Wangyou asked, somewhat agitated.
"Why doesn't the master use this remnant soul to find the remaining fragments and resolve the resentment? This would also be a form of training."
"That sounds reasonable. Whether it's good or bad, it's all my fault. I can't abandon her just because she's suffering."
"Master is right."
"Then let's go take a trip!"
Without hesitation, Wangyou absorbed the fragment of divine soul and entered the world where the remnant soul had once resided.
Upon entering this body, Wangyou received a large number of unpleasant memories.
She has now arrived in a dynasty called the Great Zhou, and her name is Huo Wangyou, the daughter of a merchant.
The merchant, Huo Qiu, only had one daughter, Wang You, whom he naturally doted on. As a result, Wang You became spoiled and couldn't endure any hardship. Huo Qiu was extremely anxious and wanted to find a powerful backer for his daughter.
After much deliberation, Huo Qiu chose the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. Despite its glamorous appearance, the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was actually just an empty shell. Huo Qiu thought that if his daughter married into the mansion with a large dowry, she would not be mistreated, and he could rest in peace after his death.
Huo Qiu's intentions were good, but he forgot that people's hearts are always greedy and insatiable. The Marquis of Wu'an wanted other people's money, but also disliked their money-grubbing ways. They wanted both.
Huo Qiu died of illness not long after, and Huo Wangyou, who possessed a large fortune, became the target of criticism.
Although she became the wife of the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, she was only a second wife. She had two stepsons after entering the family. These two stepsons were not good people, but they were particularly good at pretending in order to get Huo Wangyou's money.
