Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 656 Truly Alive
After saying that, Li Miao looked at Shang An beside him, laughed loudly, and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Wei, you've been so timid for so long, but today we finally got to see you show your power! You came just in time! If you hadn't suddenly appeared, that old bastard would have threatened us to go find his eternally sleeping soul! Thanks to you!"

Even though he was his own son, Li Miao didn't hold back his praise. The reason was simply that his appearance this time was too perfect, and he had to be showered with compliments.

"That's it, that's it!"

"Hahahahaha!"

He stood ashore, hands on his hips, a smug smile playing on his lips.

Although he suffered a brutal beating when he arrived on this map, he has finally gotten his revenge.

While the two were talking, Yuanfang did not immediately celebrate. Instead, after a moment of thought, he once again used the Soul-Guiding Incantation on the Soul Jar, putting Ryan's soul back into his body.

Fortunately, the soul-drawing went very smoothly, without any unexpected problems.

After Ryan's soul was drawn back into his body, he slowly opened his eyes, rubbing his head with a slight headache.

"Ryan, you're awake? Are you alright?" Upon seeing this, Li Miao immediately turned her attention to him and asked with concern.

Although they were still somewhat unsatisfied after getting ashore, they turned their attention to Ryan.

"What...what you just said...is it true?"

Ryan's voice was hoarse, and the first thing he said after recovering was to ask Li Miao to confirm the matter.

"How could this be false? If I wasn't lying to you, that old bastard wouldn't have suddenly turned on you."

He couldn't help but roll his eyes as he went ashore.

Li Miao, however, did not agree with him. Instead, he took out Carlos's eyes and activated them: "There are illusions in your memories that obscure the memories that should have been revived."

Carlos's gaze swept over him, and Ryan was lost in thought for a while.

After some time, his expression gradually returned to normal; he covered his head, his eyes filled with exhaustion and pain.

"Brother... younger brother..."

As the illusion was banished.

He also saw his true memories from before his recovery.

As Li Miao said, the so-called "Yasum" bloodline and glory brought him not great strength and honor, but the pain of being unable to control himself and the struggle of being manipulated by others.

He is indeed a member of Yasum.

But he was only forced to become one of them when Yasum needed him...

Seeing this, Li Miao sighed and patted his shoulder reassuringly: "...If we ever run into him, we'll definitely kill that guy and get revenge for you."

"Yeah, you have to pull yourself together. That old bastard isn't dead yet. Find a way to kill him and get revenge!" Shang'an comforted him, unusually speaking a normal sentence.

Yuanfang remained silent, observing the Soul Cleansing Night Pool and the potential dangers in the surrounding area.

Hearing their words of comfort and encouragement, Ryan took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

"Thank you... my friends."

At that moment, Ryan felt a mix of emotions.

These friends, whom he met by chance, always thought of him and traveled thousands of miles across darkness and danger to save him in times of crisis, leading him to see the truth.

Ironically, his own blood relatives treated him as a pawn and a tool, deceiving and manipulating him, ignoring his suffering, and never truly regarding him as a human being...

"If it weren't for you, I might not have seen the truth until the moment I died, and could only die a pathetic death embracing beautiful illusions and the so-called glory of Yasum..."

Ryan's tone was heavy with an indescribable gratitude.

Chief Yasum came here to deepen the illusions in his memory, but he told Ryan it was to atone for his sins...

In any case, from this moment on, he truly came alive, not as a woodcutter, nor as a member of Yasum.

But himself.

"I really don't know how to repay you..."

Ryan felt he owed them far too much.

He couldn't even understand what he had that made them risk their lives to save him...

"Let's not talk about this between friends," Li Miao said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, the person who went ashore was not polite at all, and chuckled: "What's the big deal? If you really want to repay us, just bring us some special products with dynamic storylines like before, such as weapons, equipment, combat techniques, laws, prayers and the like."

Anything that other players on Candlefire Island don't have is a rare item, and it's guaranteed to fetch a good price.

Li Miao's face darkened, and he elbowed him directly; this guy really didn't hold back at all.

"Okay, I've written it down."

Upon hearing this, Ryan, though somewhat confused, agreed without hesitation.

He was relieved that the other party could make a request; at least he had a way to repay them.

"Oh, right." Li Miao thought of a question and quickly asked, "You should only have one soul in your body now, so do you have all those abilities you had before?"

“Yes.” Ryan nodded, but there was no regret or remorse in his voice. Instead, he was relaxed and happy: “Those mysterious abilities were forged from the pain of countless souls. Now I have lost them and I am freed from the pain.”

Yasum's suffering stems from the tendency of his soul to split when he is a being with multiple souls.

Now that Ryan's soul has completely disappeared, he is no longer in this pain.

But correspondingly, this also means the loss of ability.

"However, my ignition point is still the Spirit of Fire, which is the Saint of Fire."

Ryan told them about his situation in great detail, and naturally trusted Li Miao and the others completely.

"What about the skills of a woodcutter? Can you still use them?"

"If we go back, will we run into that old man again?"

Li Miao frowned, and couldn't help but think of this possibility, after all, the other party came from Ryan's Yasum Tomb.

"I am indeed still a woodcutter..."

As for whether I'll run into him again... I can't say for sure...

Ryan hesitated for a moment; he also felt that this was a possibility.

But he also felt that the possibility was extremely small.

During his previous soul fusion with Chief Yasum, he gained some understanding of the other's personality and knew that he had a special connection with the higher-ups of the campfire.

After what happened, he's unlikely to come back to me.

"This is easy, wait a moment."

Upon reaching the shore, Ryan suddenly spoke, then took out three old parchment scrolls and handed them to him.

"That old thing is weakest in soul attacks. Take these scrolls of soul vibration with you. Activate them when you encounter him and give him a good beating. Even if you can't beat him, you can still run away."

The scroll technique, naturally, originated from Mage Burton and the Spirit Candle Shop. It is powerful and easy to activate, with its only drawback perhaps being its cost.

The shore pass was originally meant to be kept for emergencies, but it was hardly needed in the situation just now, so it's perfect for Ryan to use now.
