Chapter 438 Life Modification

With a cold expression, Qin Wu said, “This war has lasted for more than 800 years. Every year, more unstable World Entrances appear. Billions of people have suffered because of the demons. Many Godfiends have experienced hardship. Would all of them collude with the demons just as he did? We have strictly forbidden them from colluding with the demons repeatedly. After all, they’re betraying humanity by doing so. However, he still insisted on colluding with them.”

“He has caused the deaths of millions of mortals as well as many Godfiends.” Qin Wu sneered. “He only believes in himself. He doesn’t believe in what the sect says. He doesn’t believe in mortals or ordinary Godfiends. From his point of view, the weak can be sacrificed.

“With such a personality, he has already lost himself. If it’s during normal times, he should be executed,” said Qin Wu coldly. “Even now, we can’t let him escape punishment just because he can atone for his sins.”

“We need to punish him severely.” Luo Tang nodded. “The problem is how we will make him atone for his sins towards the human race. His Essence Soul is now flawed; there’s another consciousness within it.” The guardian chipped in. “Through the Heart Sea Palace, one can wipe out the newly-born evil consciousness. However, due to the flaws that come from cultivating that special Essence Soul mystic technique, another evil consciousness will still be born as time passes. The evil consciousness will then continue to grow stronger.”

Li Guan pondered for a moment and said, “First, kill the evil consciousness within before modifying his life. Wipe out his Essence Soul completely! Without an Essence Soul, the mystic technique will be useless.”

“Life modification?” Meng Chuan finally spoke. “How?”

“We can make him into a puppet like the Guardian Divine Beasts,” explained Li Guan. “Even without an Essence Soul, one can become such a puppet. However, his consciousness and memories will completely merge with the puppet. He can still maintain his current technique realm through this method. The current Guardian Divine Beasts were all left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon.”

“There are many types of life modification. With the resources our Archean Mountain has accumulated, we can do more than ten types of modifications, ” said Qin Wu. “There are only two types of modifications that wipes away an Essence Soul. One modification is the Ice Guard. The other is Streaming Fire Life. Out of the two, Streaming Fire Life has a higher mortality rate during the modification. The Ice Guard has a lower mortality rate.”

Although Meng Chuan had the authority to know about such secrets, he didn’t have time to study it in-depth.

Qin Wu, Li Guan, and company had clearly studied Archean Mountain’s secrets more than he did.

“Let him be an Ice Guard. There’s a 70% chance of success,” said Li Guan. “Streaming Fire Life is too incompatible with us humans. The probability of success is too low.”

“Meng Chuan.” Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan and explained, “Ice Guards are lifeforms that are fundamentally different from us. They aren’t made of flesh and blood. They are a special ice lifeform produced in the River of Spacetime. They have an ice body. During the modification process, one’s Essence Soul will completely melt, becoming nutrients for their ice body. This makes their ice body extremely powerful! An Ice Guard’s ice body is very powerful, but they will die once it shatters.” “Furthermore, after the modification process, the ice body can no longer be improved. One’s Essence Soul is also gone forever. One can only continue to improve their technique realm. Once one’s lifespan is up, they will naturally die.

“However, Ice Guards are still very powerful modified lifeforms,” said Qin Wu wistfully. “In the River of Spacetime, many people—who have no hope of breaking through-have studied life modification techniques. They hope to increase their lifespan or increase their strength through such means.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. historical

Life modification techniques were double-edged swords. It severed one’s cultivation path and expended precious resources. Failure during the modification meant death...

However, there were all sorts of benefits. One’s lifespan might increase; their strength might increase, etc.

“Becoming a Dao Protector also changes one’s life essence,” said Luo Tang. “As long as one has a fifth-level Essence Soul, one can possess a Dao Protector’s body. Although one needs to meditate most of the time—they can only be lucid for a period of time—they will gain over 1,000 years in lifespan! A Dao Protector’s body is indestructible. It’s a great opportunity for Regis Godfiends that have reached the end of their lifespans.”

Meng Chuan and company quickly made their decision. “Although he is now loyal to the human race and hates the demons, who knows what will happen in the future? Our punishment might result in him resenting us. Maybe that resentment will develop, causing him to betray humanity even more,” said Li Guan. “Therefore, before we begin the life modification process, he must swear an oath in Heart Sea Palace.”

Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang nodded.

“After transforming into an Ice Guard, we will banish him to the World Gap. He is forbidden from returning to the human world for 300 years,” said Li Guan. “He will perpetually guard the World Gap and hunt down the demons that enter. He will only be allowed to return when 300 years are up.”

“Alright.”

“Agreed.”

“This can be considered as a way for him to atone his sins.” Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan agreed to the plan.

If this were a peaceful era, he would have long been executed. However, an expert with the strength of a Creation Supremacy was too precious. It was too wasteful to execute him directly.

After King Calm Sea patrolled the World Gap for 300 years, his remaining lifespan would be very short. Only then would he be allowed to return to the human world to take a look.

“Xue Ting, you are aware of your punishment.” Li Guan looked at him. “Do you have any objections?”

“It’s my wish to hunt down the demons. I’m naturally willing.” King Calm Sea revealed a rare smile. “If I die during the life modification process, I have no complaints.”

Meng Chuan watched from the side.

“Before that, I want to write a letter.” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan. “I hope King Eastcalm can pass it to Yan Jin.”

“If there’s nothing wrong with the letter, I can pass it to him for you,” said Meng Chuan.

If King Calm Sea had any tricks up his sleeves to deal with Yan Jin, he wouldn’t help him pass the letter to his son.

“It’s a very simple letter.” King Calm Sea smiled and looked around. “Do you have a brush and paper?”.

Meng Chuan waved his hand and prepared a table, brush, and paper. As someone who often painted, he naturally had these things on him.

King Calm Sea placed the paper on the table and began writing carefully.

“I’ll be fighting in the World Gap. If you want to meet me, get the right to enter the World Gap first.” King Calm Sea finished writing the sentences before handing the letter to Meng Chuan. He smiled and said, “He will definitely seek me in the future. I might as well tell him in advance.”

“Even ordinary Regis Godfiends are currently forbidden from entering the World Gap,” said Qin Wu with a frown.

“Very good.” King Calm Sea smiled. “If he wants to see me, he has to become stronger.”

Meng Chuan frowned. “Is that how you should treat your son?” “I have my ways of educating my children,” said King Calm Sea with a smile. “Even if you don’t give him this letter, he will still crazily seek me out in the future.”

Meng Chuan said indifferently, “I’ll give it to him at the appropriate time.” Meng Chuan also understood Yan Jin’s obsession.

“It’s up to you.” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan carefully. “I’ve been cultivating for over 100 years, but I haven’t been able to see any hope of victory. I felt like I was blindly searching in the darkness. However, I never expected that you, Meng Chuan, to change the war’s trajectory single-handedly. You have truly allowed me to see the light.

“I’m very happy to see Meng Chuan appear. I always believed that I couldn’t pin my hopes on others; that I could only trust myself.” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan. “From the looks of it, I can trust others.”

Following that, King Calm Sea swore an oath and underwent life modification.

Humph.

King Calm Sea sat cross-legged in a huge pool. His body gradually turned transparent as endless frost gathered in his body. He couldn’t help but grunt softly. Clearly, he was in immense pain.

Meng Chuan and company watched from the side.

I once saw two scenes in the Spacetime Floating Ice. As Meng Chuan thought about it, the scene of his white-haired self holding Demon Slayer and angrily roaring at King Calm Sea-who laughed maniacally-appeared in his mind.

In that scene, I was stronger than I was now. King Calm Sea was also stronger. In that scene, he had already become a Creation Supremacy. Now, regardless of whether the life modification process succeeds or fails, he can no longer become a Creation Supremacy. That scene will never come to fruition.

The Spacetime Floating Ice only revealed the possibilities of the various timelines.

If King Calm Sea had continued cultivating the meditation technique, he mightn’t have been exposed so early. He could’ve become a Creation Supremacy before his misdeeds were discovered.

Since spacetime can be changed, I wonder if I will still have white hair in the future? Meng Chuan pondered.
