Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, the phoenix in the hall immediately replied, "The runes on the stone tablet and the runes on those pillars all come from the Spirit Realm. Your soul resonated with those runes, which proves that you also come from the Spirit Realm."

"Judging from your appearance, you must have been reincarnated and started cultivating again, so it's normal that you can't remember things from the past. As your cultivation level continues to improve, your memories will gradually return."

Upon hearing Phoenix's words, Immortal Venerable Xiyue glanced at Lu Chen again out of the corner of her eye. She had always felt that this guy's identity was extraordinary, and that he was likely the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor. She never expected that he was actually from beyond the heavens.

No wonder his soul is so powerful.

Lu Chen then asked, "Spirit Realm, what kind of place is that?"

The phoenix replied, "The Spirit Realm is outside this world; it is a much larger world."

Lu Chen said, "The Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm is called the Immortal Realm. Judging from the name alone, the Immortal Realm should be much larger than the Spirit Realm, right?"

Upon hearing this, the phoenix chuckled and said, "Immortal Realm? How laughable! This tiny place dares to call itself an Immortal Realm?"

"This world is nothing more than a world created by a traitor of the Spirit Realm using our Spirit Realm gods as flesh and blood. The immortal energy you absorb is nothing more than divine power, not the so-called immortal energy at all."

Upon hearing Phoenix's words, Lu Chen thought to himself, "A traitor from the Spirit Realm? Who is that?"

Could it be me?
It's no wonder he thinks that way. After all, his memories as an Earthling contain too much content from novels. As someone with a system, he's too unique. No matter how you look at it, he's destined to be a protagonist.

People like him often have very powerful past lives, so the traitor who created this world might very well be himself.

Lu Chen then asked, "Why did that traitor from the Spirit Realm create this world?"

Phoenix said, "Because he colluded with the people of the Ghost Realm, after we discovered him, he was unable to kill us, so he used a magical artifact to create this world. As this world operated, our divine power gradually turned into nourishment for this world, ultimately leading to our demise."

Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

The Ghost Realm? Could it be that those strange creatures come from the Ghost Realm?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked directly, "Could those strange creatures come from the Ghost Realm?"

The phoenix said, "Yes."

Suddenly remembering something, Lu Chen quickly asked, "Senior, could you tell me about the Ghost Realm and the Spirit Realm?"

Because of the system's limitations, he couldn't know his past life memories in advance, but he was really curious. Now that someone could finally ignore the system's restrictions, he was naturally eager to know what was happening outside the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm.

The phoenix said, "I am but a remnant soul, and time is running out. I will transfer my memories to you directly."

As soon as the phoenix finished speaking, it transformed into a man dressed in a red robe, whose appearance was identical to the human-shaped statue outside the main hall.

In this way, the two statues outside are both male statues, one in demon form and the other in human form.

Thinking about it this way, is this a demon god? Immortal Venerable Xiyue thought to herself. No wonder she felt that there was an opportunity for her in this small world. If the master of this small world is a demon god, then it is indeed possible that he left behind something that can help her break through.

At this moment, the man condensed into a memory bead and presented it to Lu Chen.

Upon seeing the memory bead, Immortal Venerable Xiyue frowned immediately, sensing that this man harbored ill intentions.

Without much thought, Lu Chen raised his hand and channeled his immortal power into the memory bead, preparing to read the memories within.

Just then, the man's lips suddenly curled up into a sinister smile.

The next moment, Lu Chen felt his soul being torn apart, as if something was impacting his soul.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen severed the connection between his soul and the body. At that moment, the red-haired man suddenly burst into laughter and said, "After countless years, I have finally obtained a soul from the Spirit Realm!"

"Now I can finally live a second life!" Upon hearing the red-haired man's voice, Immortal Venerable Xiyue's expression changed slightly.

Oh no, this red-haired man is definitely up to no good; he wants to possess Lu Chen's body!
Just as Immortal Venerable Xiyue was about to attack the remnant soul of the red-haired man, the man's remnant soul instantly transformed into a streak of blood light and rushed towards Lu Chen's body.

However, when he rushed into Lu Chen's brain, he was stunned. Lu Chen's head was empty, just like a puppet, with no soul at all.

At this moment, Lu Chen's body emitted a red light, indicating that his body had been completely controlled by the red-haired man. Seeing this, Xi Yue Immortal Venerable in the hall could not attack him.

If they were to make a move now, Lu Chen's body would probably be completely ruined.

At this moment, the consciousness of Immortal Venerable Xiyue returned to her main body.

On the fairy boat.

Immortal Venerable Xiyue looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Are you alright?"

Lu Chen replied, "It's nothing."

"I severed my consciousness when he attacked me."

Hearing Lu Chen say that everything was alright, Immortal Venerable Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she quickly thought of another problem.

Now that Lu Chen's mortal immortal body has been taken away by that red-haired man, without Lu Chen, the exploration of that small world will be missing a trump card.

Just as Immortal Venerable Xiyue was thinking this, Lu Chen seemed to have seen through her thoughts and continued, "You go back and keep an eye on things first. If he leaves, I'll go back."

Immortal Venerable Xiyue reminded him, "He is currently controlling your body."

Lu Chen said, "I feel that he doesn't care about my physical body. If it's just about seizing a body, your Immortal King realm body is the best choice."

Xi Yue Immortal Venerable said, "Your guess might be right. He said he has finally waited for a spiritual soul. It must be because your soul is special that he wants to devour it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. It seemed that the guy had deliberately opened the entrance to the small world just to attract someone like him from beyond the heavens.

Immortal Venerable Xiyue then shifted her attention to her clone. The red-haired man seemed to have gone mad, controlling Lu Chen's body and roaring in defiance, "Why is there no divine soul! Why is there no divine soul!!!"

At this moment, "Lu Chen" suddenly turned to look at Immortal Venerable Xi Yue. "Lu Chen's" eyes emitted a red light, and he questioned Immortal Venerable Xi Yue, "Tell me! Where did he run off to!"

Immortal Venerable Xiyue said, "This junior does not know either."

"Lu Chen" said, "No one can escape my grasp. He must still be in this small world."

His time is running out; he must absorb the divine soul of a spirit realm as soon as possible in order to stabilize this remnant soul.

At this moment, the red-haired man emerged from Lu Chen's body, then transformed into a phoenix and flew out of the palace, seemingly to search for Lu Chen.

Seeing that the red-haired man had left Lu Chen's body, the main body of Immortal Venerable Xiyue immediately reminded Lu Chen that the red-haired man had left his body.

Lu Chen then reconnected his body with his divine sense.

When Lu Chen's consciousness reconnected with his clone, he suddenly felt a special power within him, and that power seemed to be usable by him.

The next moment, Lu Chen tried to mobilize the power within him. After a short while, that power entered his soul, making him feel refreshed and invigorated. His soul seemed to have been nourished and become even stronger.

Lu Chen immediately realized that this must be the divine soul power left behind by that remnant soul after it possessed him. (End of this chapter)
