Chapter 1113: Chapter 1106: Eternal and Finite

"So it turns out, so it turns out, there’s no such thing as a soul, no such thing as the relationship between spirit and soul, Fula, from beginning to end, it was only..." Luo’er held back and clamped his mouth shut, opting not to continue to provoke Fulajie’er.

Seeing this, Xia Yue sighed softly and then waved her hand, instantly wrapping the curled-up Fulajie’er in a tangible bubble.

"Let’s let her calm down a bit. We shouldn’t provoke her anymore," Xia Yue said, shaking her head.

"She can’t hear our conversation now, can she?" Luo’er asked, staring at the bubble.

"Yes, if you have any other questions, ask them quickly," Xia Yue replied.

"This means, even if we clone her using the cells of Fula’s corpse, we can’t let the current her enter that body, right?" Luo’er asked, frowning.

"Exactly, the current her is essentially a magic power component; unless that body can be immune to Magic Power Erosion, death is inevitable," Xia Yue shrugged and said.

After a pause, she continued, "Moreover, if you dare to do this, you’ll face an unavoidable ethical dilemma."

"What problem?" Luo’er asked.

"The Fulajie’er grown from a clone is also a living being with its own consciousness. To forcefully stuff the Fulajie’er, who is a magic power component, into a clone while disregarding the dangers of erosion, have you considered the feelings of the clone, why should she be born with such an unfair burden?" Xia Yue posed a question of conscience.

"This..." Luo’er was speechless.

"So you see, scientific progress should benefit humanity and protect human rights. If you proceed this way, you are contradicting your principles, and that’s definitely problematic, isn’t it?" Xia Yue asked lightly with a smile.

With his head bowed in contemplation, Luo’er, who had been full of confidence, also began to sigh involuntarily because, according to Xia Yue, Fulajie’er could never be resurrected since she was already dead.

Taking a deep breath, the salty sea breeze filled his mouth, Luo’er felt his somewhat muddled mind suddenly clear up, and he thought of a potential solution.

"Xia Yue, if, I mean if, your body can possibly separate a part of itself, right?" Luo’er spoke hesitantly.

"It’s possible, certainly possible," Xia Yue said, looking down at her hand and then leisurely stated, "My body essentially consists of Prime Fluid combined with organic matter, forming a non-conscious living entity. Unfortunately, the offerings Falei gave were too scant, forcing me to reduce my size..."

After a pause, she continued, "I know what you’re implying; my body can disregard the influence of Magic Power Erosion. Is it possible to divide a part of my body to independently cultivate a new, non-conscious living entity as a new body for Fulajie’er? The answer is feasible, and I am willing to help, but I have one condition!"

"What condition?" Luo’er asked.

"My condition is that when this body dies, Fulajie’er must also die. She transformed from a demigod to a human, but absolutely cannot transform from a human back into a demigod. If she can ensure this, as a reward, I will grant her a new body!" Xia Yue declared, staring at the bubble.

"Why can’t she become a demigod again, didn’t you say that demigods are merely Forbidden Curse Level magic?" Luo’er asked, puzzled.

"Liseya is also a demigod; how many has she killed over these centuries?" Xia Yue retorted, "Although demigods are not True Gods, they still represent a formidable power, just a step away from the Human God that could destroy the world. We cannot let the world plunge into disordered chaos again. Hence, as long as Fulajie’er agrees not to revert to a demigod, as a price, I will help revive her."

"This..." Luo’er hesitated.

"Think it over well, not just for you but for her as well," Xia Yue said, "to shift from an infinite life unable to make contact, to a finite life that can touch, consider if it’s worth it. If you choose to proceed, I can indeed help you, for no other reason than to bring some peace to this world."

Saying this, Xia Yue reached out her hand and lightly tapped, causing the bubble to burst instantly. Wrapped inside the bubble, the tears of Fulajie’er’s magic power streamed down, but before touching the deck, they had already vanished in mid-air.

"I understand, I will consider it carefully with Fula," Luo’er said with his head lowered.

"Hehe," Xia Yue looked at their bewildered expressions and couldn’t help but smile, then turned and continued leaning against the ship’s railing, gazing at Antenisivia, which had already disappeared on the horizon.

Riding the westerly wind, the merchant ship moved swiftly, reaching the boundary between Xia Yue Island and the Continent by the afternoon. Crossing this line meant Xia Yue would have successfully escaped her bonds.

The merchant ship continued to break waves with the westerly wind called upon by Xia Yue, and the sails bulged with the force of the wind. The moment they crossed the boundary, Xia Yue displayed an intoxicated expression, looking up at the sky and taking a deep breath.

"Finally, finally I have left that cramped cage. Tana, your cage has been broken by me. Hide well, for I am coming to find you..." Xia Yue squinted and muttered to herself.

"Leviathan, Leviathan sighted!" At that moment, a sailor atop the mast suddenly shouted in alarm. He saw a large dark patch on the distant sea, as if something massive was lurking beneath the water.

"It really did come," Xia Yue walked to the side of the ship and said with a smile.

"What should we do? Do you have a way to deal with it?" Cheng Ziang asked her nervously.

"A small issue. Those great beasts once submitted to our ancestors, and they must submit to me now," Xia Yue said confidently. Then she tugged at Cheng Ziang’s sleeve and said, "Come here."

"What is it?" Cheng Ziang approached Xia Yue as she beckoned.

"Hold me, a princess carry!" Xia Yue stretched out her arms.

"This, isn’t this inappropriate?" Cheng Ziang’s face turned red, hesitantly responding.

"What’s inappropriate about it? You’re not interested in a little girl, are you? Hurry up!" Xia Yue urged him.

"This..." Cheng Ziang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately summoned the courage to lift Xia Yue in his arms. Looking at the Xia Yue nestled in his arms, he furrowed his brows and asked, "What exactly are you planning?"

"Intention, use ’intention,’ ’planning’ has a negative connotation!" Xia Yue tapped him on the head.

"All right, you..."

"Don’t talk!" Xia Yue simply said this. Her normally large eyes suddenly turned lifeless, not even reflecting a speck of light, and her whole body suddenly went limp.

Cheng Ziang looked at her in alarm but could feel the magic in the air disturbing violently. Then, in the sky, a huge, semi-transparent figure began to slowly emerge.

"This..." Cheng Ziang widened his eyes at the divine figure. He looked at Xia Yue in his arms and couldn’t help exclaiming, "Soul projection?"

Even the Blaiqi people, upon seeing the figure in the sky, were inevitably shocked. They dropped what they were doing and knelt on the ground to pray to the divine figure.

Beneath the sea, Leviathan reacted even more violently to the divine figure, making the sea churn turbulently. About ten minutes later, Leviathan finally calmed down, and its massive dark trace was no longer visible on the sea’s surface.

"Handled!" Just as Cheng Ziang was in shock, Xia Yue in his arms suddenly spoke up, then leaning on his shoulder, she agilely jumped down from his embrace.

"Was that you just now?" Cheng Ziang stared at her and asked.

"Is there a problem?" Xia Yue tilted her head and asked with a smile.

"No no no," Cheng Ziang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It just seems mismatched to your current image."

"I quite like my current image," Xia Yue said, looking over herself.

"Why does Leviathan listen to you so obediently, settling down the moment you appeared?" Cheng Ziang couldn’t help asking.

"Well, besides its submission to the ancestors, more importantly, as a god of this world, the ancestors imposed many restrictions on us, but none included the killing of great beasts," Xia Yue said with a smile, but her smile sent shivers down the spine.
