Chapter 1804: Answer

“The Imperial Soul Monarch! He’s the Imperial Soul Monarch?!”

Lieyan Yuan exclaimed in shock before staring dumbfoundedly at Qin Lie.

“I’m the reborn Imperial Soul Monarch?” Tian Qi’s words also caught Qin Lie by surprise.

“What? You must have noticed something by now, haven’t you?” Tian Qi looked at him in astonishment.

Qin Lie mulled over Tian Qi’s words seriously and said nothing.

“The Soul Race has no physical body. In certain combat situations this unique trait could be an advantage, but not when the opponent is as powerful as they are. Sometimes, it is even a weakness.” Tian Qi shot Qin Lie a meaningful look before continuing, “This weakness should be plenty clear to the Imperial Soul Monarch when he battled the Saint God of the shadow beings.”

“For the longest time, Soul Beasts were seen as the perfect hosts for Soul Race clansmen. They were used to mitigate the Soul Race’s lack of a body.”

“However, the Soul Beast wasn’t the best choice for the Imperial Soul Monarch.”

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have searched for a better body after the battle against the Saint God.”

Tian Qi paused for a moment before looking at Lieyan Yuan. He said, “In his opinion, your Perfect Blood project was the best way to obtain the best body in the universe!”

“He had probably set his eyes on the Perfect Blood project right after his battle against the Saint God. Through countless plots, he was able to imbue his soul into the body with the Perfect Blood.”

“Lieyan Yuan, I’m sure you know just how high powerful a soul the Perfect Blood demands.”

“You tried to recreate the Perfect Blood after your success with Qin Lie, but you never succeeded because the newborn souls could never endure the power of the Perfect Blood. Am I right?”

Lieyan Yuan’s complexion was ashen. His eyelids twitched after hearing Tian Qi’s question.

Tian Qi had hit the nail right in the head.

It was as Tian Qi said, he had tried using the same method to recreate the Perfect Blood after confirming that Qin Lie was a success.

However, every time the process reached a critical moment, the baby… was unable to form a soul.

More accurately, the soul of a newborn couldn’t withstand the power of the Perfect Blood. Their soul would be killed the second the Perfect Blood exhibited some signs of power.

Despite repeated experiments, the results were always the same. That was why he had come to the helpless conclusion that the Perfect Blood couldn’t be recreated.

Naturally, it made Qin Lie’s existence all the more impressive.

“Who do you think is more knowledgeable than the Imperial Soul Monarch when the souls are involved?” Tian Qi said bitterly.

“Lieyan Yuan, it’s true that you’ve completed one of the necessary requirements to complete the Perfect Blood—the construction of the body—but not even you could create a True Soul of the Perfect Blood.”

“But the Imperial Soul Monarch could.”

“If my guess is correct, the Imperial Soul Monarch used the most profound soul secret art in the universe to impart a wisp of his True Soul inside the perfect body.”

“His True Soul secretly nurtured the first Qin Lie’s soul so that the Perfect Blood can be formed smoothly.”

“However, the first Qin Lie’s soul was too weak. There was no way he could withstand the Perfect Blood’s terrifying power when it activated completely.”

“Even if the plot of the six great human forces never happened, he was still destined to die.”

“The six great forces had just pushed things along a bit faster.”

Tian Qi sucked in a deep breath and looked at Qin Lie as if he knew everything. He said, “What really surprised me about this incident is your benevolence, Monarch. The reason the first Qin Lie never awakened the Perfect Blood was because you knew that he would die the moment it activated. You had vanished in a state of chaos and hid yourself among the shadows all because you didn’t want the first Qin Lie to die because of the Perfect Blood.”

“Of course, you knew that it was only a matter of time before the Perfect Blood awakened. You knew that he was going to die no matter what.”

“That was why you allowed the first Qin Lie do whatever he wanted at the Central World.”

“You wanted him to enjoy life to the fullest so that he wouldn’t have any regrets when he passed away, didn’t you?”

“You felt guilty, so you didn’t emerge and let him run amok in the Central World.”

“Some time later, the six great forces led by Ninth Heaven killed that Qin Lie to exile the Qin Family.”

“Their action had actually freed you from your predicament unknowingly.”

“After the first Qin Lie was dead, you no longer had any reason to stay hidden. You were able to awaken earlier than expected and become the true master of the perfect body.”

“If the six great forces hadn’t taken action, you probably would’ve waited until the Perfect Blood awakened naturally.”

“There was nothing holding you back after that.”

“After you awakened at the Ling Town of Scarlet Tide Continent, you started breaking through the realms at an impossible speed.”

“You were already the strongest expert in the entire universe to begin with, and the perfect body was now in your hands. Even better, no one knew that you were the Imperial Soul Monarch, there was no one in the world who could stop you from growing.”

“Of course you were able to create miracle after miracle. Your growth was positively unstoppable, as evident from the fact that you’d evolved this far in less than two hundred years.”

“Had the master of the Perfect Blood been another person, they wouldn’t have been able to reach this height so soon.”

“Therefore, Lieyan Yuan, you weren’t the only one who created current Qin Lie.”

“You created the body, and the Imperial Soul Monarch gifted the soul. That was how the Qin Lie before you came to be.”

“More accurately, you unknowingly did everything in your power to create the Perfect Blood for the Imperial Soul Monarch.”

“This here, is the truth I discovered after thirty years of investigation.”

Tian Qi’s explanation finally came to an end.

“Imperial Soul Monarch…”

Lieyan Yuan’s eyes turned complicated as he looked at Qin Lie.

At first, he didn’t believe what Tian Qi was saying. But the more Tian Qi spoke, the more facts and evidences he pointed out, the more he came to believe his claim.

He was certainly confused when he was unable to recreate the Perfect Blood using the same method after Qin Lie.

He was also confused by Qin Lie’s ridiculous rise to power.

Qin Lie was now so powerful that even he, a million-year-old bloodline expert felt scared and threatened.

Before this, he was wrapped in many doubts and questions.

But thanks to Tian Qi revealing who Qin Lie really was and explaining everything, realization and understanding dawned on him.

He discovered that the questions that plagued him in the past were completely resolved after he put them against Tian Qi’s speculations.

Now, he believed Tian Qi’s words completely.

“No wonder, no wonder. It was you all along. That’s right, you’re the only one who could’ve killed Castor that easily and kept the King of Flame Devils in check.”

“I finally understand now.”
