Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 178 The Destruction of the Altar, Ghost Nana

"come out."

Su Wen gently wiped the blood from his palm, glancing towards the corner.

The air seemed to freeze.

No one came out from the corner.

Su Wen remained calm, quietly looking at the corner of the wall, seemingly confronting someone.

After a while, a tall girl with wheat-colored skin, wearing a black and red school uniform of the sixth grade of the Royal Academy of the Sun Moon Empire, slowly walked out from behind the wall. Like a startled rabbit, her dark eyes were filled with fear.

"I...I'm not a member of the Holy Spirit Cult...No, I was forced to join the Holy Spirit Cult...Please don't kill me."

The girl was somewhat incoherent.

Her long legs trembled slightly at that moment.

She had just been hiding inside the Temple of Earth, and only managed to escape Su Wen's calamity thanks to her quick thinking. She witnessed firsthand how this ridiculously handsome young man easily suppressed a group of powerful figures within the temple. Even the usually unpredictable and mysterious Quasi-Holy Son was easily crushed in his hands, like a mouse encountering a cat...

"..."

Su Wen looked him up and down.

Having formed a guess in his mind, he continued leisurely wiping his hands. "What's your name?"

"Nana..." the girl whispered.

"A Martial Soul Ghost?"

"Yes." The girl was taken aback, not expecting that the boy knew about this!

“I remember… you should be in another Holy Spirit Church altar, how did you end up here?” Su Wen asked with interest.

In the original work, Nana was in a branch altar, where the altar master, the Great Holy Spirit, was only at the Soul Saint level. However, this is one of the largest holy altars in the Sun Moon Empire, the Mingdu branch altar, so something has clearly changed...

Nana swallowed hard, a chill running down her spine.

It felt like being completely stripped bare, with all secrets laid bare before Su Wen's eyes.

"Because of His Highness the Holy Son, he promised me that as long as I obeyed and served him, he would purify my parents in the future, allowing them to leave and no longer suffer," Nana whispered.

"..."

Su Wen glanced at Huo Yuhao's corpse.

Given Huo Yuhao's status in the Holy Spirit Cult, he has a high probability of competing for the position of Holy Son.

Therefore, it is normal to win people's hearts and cultivate a team in advance.

"You don't recognize me?"

Su Wen raised an eyebrow.

Although he was new to the Sun Moon Empire, at least 70-80% of the students recognized him. Especially after his battle with Ji Juechen, when Meng Hongchen pulled down his pants and revealed a bear pattern, his image was spread like wildfire, just like the memes from his previous life.

Although Nana has a withdrawn personality, it would be a bit of a stretch to say that she doesn't recognize herself.

“I…” Nana glanced at him quietly.

In this situation, if someone recognized the person, they would definitely be killed to silence them, right?
But looking at Su Wen's fierce expression, Nana thought to herself, "He'll probably be killed whether he tells the truth or not." She then secretly glanced at Su Wen.

The young man's handsome profile, even with a touch of immaturity, and his perpetually calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the mountain of Holy Spirit Cult corpses piled up behind him.

This composure is not feigned, but rather stems from genuine and formidable strength.

He seems...to be quite handsome.

Nana's cheeks flushed.

Su Wen wiped the blood off his hands, only to find Nana's face flushed, her head drooping as if lost in thought. He was exasperated. Had his intimidating presence diminished? Why was she blushing at a time like this?
"Have you said goodbye to your parents inside?"

Su Wen said leisurely.

"You... you found me back then?!" Nana looked surprised.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. With Su Wen's terrifying strength, it would be abnormal if he hadn't noticed. She thought she had hidden it well, but in reality, Su Wen had let her off the hook.

"Ah."

When her parents were mentioned, Nana's expression darkened considerably.

"..."

Su Wen nodded.

Immediately, a gray mist drifted out from beneath his feet, rapidly spreading in all directions and enveloping the entire courtyard in the blink of an eye.

"Such pure and ultimate dark power!" Nana's expression suddenly changed.

He's an evil spirit master?!
The girl's face gradually turned despairing.

It turns out that Su Wen was not a righteous person, nor a member of the Shrek Academy's inspection team who punished evil and promoted good. Instead, he was a more powerful prehistoric crocodile within the Holy Spirit Cult. The Quasi-Holy Son and the Great Holy Spirit were merely shrimp for him to eat...

Su Wen grew taller and taller.

In this hazy gray fog.

Like a god.

Countless souls emerged from beneath the altar, heading towards him like devout pilgrims on a pilgrimage.

Among them were Nana's parents.

Nana's expression gradually turned fearful.

Emerging from the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair?
"To bring the dead back to life, to heal the wounded, to let the soul return to its homeland, and to be reincarnated in the next life—that is the true meaning of death..." Su Wen's eyes turned gray, and a holy light shot into the sky. In Nana's astonished expression, these souls seemed to float towards heaven. The parents' souls also regained consciousness briefly, holding hands and smiling kindly, waving goodbye to Nana before stepping into the golden pillar of light and dissipating into this world.

“Life and death are a cycle that should continue endlessly, but the laws of death in this world are incomplete, which allowed these wicked people to take advantage of the loophole. Who exactly interfered with the laws of death in this world?” Electrox frowned.

"It doesn't matter, you can just become the Grim Reaper." Su Wen smiled calmly. "That's true..." Electrox laughed heartily.

"The laws of death in this world are incomplete, and no one else has touched them. Once I recover some of my divine consciousness, I may be able to give it a try!"

"Should we skip the divine succession directly?" Su Wen pondered.

"Not bad!"

"..."

The gray fog dissipated.

Seeing that Nana was still standing there blankly, Su Wen said slowly, "The laws of death in this world are incomplete. If a person dies and fails to enter the cycle of reincarnation immediately, he will become a wandering ghost in the world. The best outcome in the future is that his soul will be scattered and he will not be restrained by anyone."

"And I, I send them into the next cycle of reincarnation."

"thank you……"

Nana bowed at a 90-degree angle.

Tears streamed down her face as she bit her lip hard, remaining motionless for a long time.

"This is the true meaning of death."

Su Wen watched this scene with a smile, talking to Old Daoist Yi in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

“Yes, those who insult death, I will make them suffer the wrath of death…” Electrolux said calmly.

"You're not modest at all, it's not even close to being settled yet."

"Hehe, what do you know, kid? Since I've spoken, it means I'm absolutely certain I'll become a god..." Electrox put his hands behind his back, looking completely at ease.

It's quite fun to banter with this kid occasionally.

He lived a fulfilling life in his old age.

……

The Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Passing through the thick, high-walled passage, Orange, holding a token and looking indifferent, was led by two maids and proceeded without hindrance.

They stopped only when they reached the front of a side hall.

After hesitating for a moment, I stepped inside anyway.

"The oranges are here?"

Upon seeing the young girl arrive, Xu Tianran took the white robe handed to him by the palace maid, draped it over his shoulders, and wore a gentle smile on his face. He appeared harmless and quite kind.

"His Royal Highness!"

Orange knelt on one knee, showing perfect manners.

Yet, her heart remained calm. She was probably the only one who truly knew the prince's true nature. He appeared refined and easygoing, but was actually suspicious by nature and ruthless. However, if she wanted to use this powerful figure to avenge her parents, she had to endure it, she had to get close to him at all costs, and gain his trust…

"No gift."

Xu Tianran chuckled.

“You don’t usually come to the palace, what’s wrong with you today? You’re in such a hurry that you even used the pardon I gave you.”

"Not long ago, I, Keke, Huo Yuhao, and Su Wen went to the Jingyang Mountains to test the all-terrain soul-guided detector," Ju Zi said in a deep voice.

"..."

Upon hearing the name Su Wen...

Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly, waved away the maids on either side, and looked directly at Ju Zi: "Speak."

"He displayed his strength; the combat power of that white ape alone easily wiped out a group consisting of a ten-thousand-year-old silver moon wolf king, three ten-thousand-year-old golden wolves, and hundreds of adult golden wolves. But he didn't kill them..." Ju Zi knew how much the Crown Prince valued Su Wen, so she concisely described what had happened and expressed her own opinion.

"According to my estimation, that white ape alone is comparable to a powerhouse at the Soul Douluo level."

"Su Wen is easy-going and does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but he is not indecisive. The Wang Shaojie incident is enough to show that he will take revenge for his enemies. Even though he is a newcomer, he will never choose to settle things peacefully."

Judging from his appearance, he seems to belong to the conservative faction and is unlikely to initiate wars in the future; he is a guardian of peace on the mainland.

"Orange said earnestly."

"Oh?" Xu Tianran smiled.

"You have a very high opinion of him."

"His future potential is terrifying. Putting aside his talent in martial soul, just take soul tools as an example. In just a few months, he has grown from a complete novice who is not even as good as me to an eighth-level soul master comparable to Xuan Ziwen. In fact, many times, Teacher Xuan discusses issues with him as an equal." Ju Zi pondered.

"Teacher Xuan has wildly imaginative ideas about soul tools. He is a genius and also very proud. There are very few people in Mingde Hall who can be treated like this by him."

"Such formidable talent?"

Upon hearing Ju Zi's words, even the usually composed Xu Tianran was unsettled. He raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously.

Soul tools are the foundation of the Sun Moon Empire.

If Shrek Academy overtakes us, what's the point of even trying? Especially with Su Wen's talent, it's truly terrifying... He's only been a few days, and he's already reached the eighth-level Soul Master?!
"Actually, it's not really a secret, it's just that Su Wen is usually quite low-key, so not many people know about it..." Orange sighed softly.

With such a powerful figure around, will the Sun Moon Empire really be able to sweep through the Three Kingdoms and conquer the original continent in the future, just as the sand table calculations show?
She also began to lack confidence.

To be honest, from the enemy's perspective, if she were the supreme commander at this moment, she would most likely not hesitate to issue an order to kill him and nip this threat in the bud.

However, from her personal perspective, Su Wen's powerful personal charm made it difficult for her to even think of taking action. The longer they spent together, the more she felt deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself.

Do succubi really exist?

Even the oranges were starting to lose confidence.
