"Something terrible?" Han Xingyu examined Han Tianci carefully and frowned, saying, "There's nothing wrong with your body."

Han Tianci frowned and said, "I don't know either. It feels like nothing happened, but it just felt so real. The one who killed the old man in the mid-stage Martial Emperor realm was definitely not me. That kind of powerful internal energy materialization is something I can't use right now!"

Han Xingyu stroked her chin and analyzed, "Since it appeared when you were in danger, then isn't the thing you found scary actually helping you?"

Han Tianci frowned and said, "Although it helped me, I can't feel at ease because I don't understand what such a powerful thing is."

Han Wuxie patted Han Tianci's head reassuringly and said, "Why don't you ask Hua Qianye? He knows a lot. Tell him everything you've felt in detail, and maybe he'll understand."

……

The door is locked.

Only Han Wuxie, Han Tianci, Han Xingyu, and Hua Qianye were in the room.

Han Tianci recounted in detail to Hua Qianye the terrifying feeling of being possessed and the entire process of killing Cheng Kun.

Hua Qianye listened patiently throughout.

Three pairs of hopeful eyes stared intently at Hua Qianye, hoping he would understand the reason.

Hua Qianye couldn't help but find it amusing. She used a hand made of wind to brush against Gua Han Wuxie's nose. "You, as his older sister, didn't even comfort him properly. Look how scared he is."

Han Wuxie rubbed his nose and retorted awkwardly, "I came here to see you! Judging from your confident look, you must know something, right?"

Hua Qianye smiled knowingly, looked at Han Tianci who looked nervous, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "It is indeed a terrible thing."

Han Tianci's heart tightened. He was still just a nine-year-old child, and this fright made him even more panicked.

He asked in a low voice, "What is it? What terrible thing lives inside my body?"

Hua Qianye deliberately frowned, her face seemingly saying "hopeless".

Seeing that he remained silent and looked at him with a troubled expression, Han Tianci began to scare himself even more.

Han Wuxie narrowed his eyes and clearly saw the mischievous smile in Hua Qianye's eyes.

Han Wuxie said unhappily, "Hua Qianye, don't scare my brother!"

"Hehe, don't let you find out."

Hua Qianye's smile faded, and he said seriously, "According to what Tianci just said, it's possible that Hongbao has triggered some potential within his talent."

"Potential? Shouldn't that be under my control?" Han Tianci said with doubt, "But this power is completely beyond my control. It's like I'm possessed by someone else. I can only watch from the sidelines."

"That's all I know," Hua Qianye said, frowning. "Talent has always been unique, and it's understandable that some abilities are unpredictable. You'll have to explore the mysteries of it yourself."

A faint melancholy flickered in his blue eyes as he said in a low voice, "I have no memories whatsoever. The books in the ring are my entire memory. I have read all the books, and the records about my talent are only briefly mentioned. Perhaps only a god could better explain this talent mutation, but there are no divine books in the ring."

"You know nothing about the realm of gods?" Han Wuxie asked him curiously.

Hua Qianye smiled faintly and said, "It can't be said that we know nothing. Some books, although not from the God Realm, mention things about the God Realm. However, whether they are true or false is impossible to judge."

Han Wuxie murmured to himself: It seems he really doesn't understand the affairs of the God Realm, and probably doesn't know that those with talent are reincarnations of gods. Could Tianci's sudden possession be related to being a reincarnation of a god? It seems I still have to ask Zhu Fengmo!

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Han Tianci looked at Han Wuxie nervously and whispered, "Why do I feel that what Hua Qianye said this time is wrong? I really don't think this is my own power. I can't control it at all. I feel like I'm an observer, watching the guy who controls my body kill that old man. It's like my body has been taken away."

Han Wuxie frowned deeply, but he didn't know how to answer his younger brother's question.

Hua Qianye clearly heard Han Tianci's words. Seeing that Tianci was so certain that it seemed as if his body had been taken away, Hua Qianye frowned slightly and began to reassess the matter.

"I need to go back into the ring to find the answer." Hua Qianye said solemnly, then transformed into blue light and flew into the ring.

Han Wuxie stood up, wanting to leave Tianci and Xingyu's room, but Tianci suddenly grabbed Han Wuxie's sleeve, preventing her from leaving.

His eyes were like those of a frightened kitten, pitiful and vulnerable. He whispered, "Sister, I'm so scared. I really feel like there's a monster inside me, like it could control this body at any moment. I'm so afraid I'll be devoured, that I'll be expelled from this body..."

Han Wuxie hugged her younger brother tightly, patting his back reassuringly. She tried to sound calm and confident, "Tianci, don't be afraid. With your sister here, no monster can hurt you. I will never let anyone hurt you. I will find the answer, I definitely will! Do you believe me?"

Han Tianci raised his head, his dark, bright eyes now brimming with tears. He nodded vigorously, "I believe you, I believe in my sister. It's because I believe in my sister that I left home with her and came to this unfamiliar place. I believe in my sister more than anyone else!"

Han Wuxie felt a slight pang in his heart. Yes, it was because he believed in himself that Tianci followed him down to the mortal realm, leaving his home, his mother, his grandfather, and everyone who loved him, to come to this unfamiliar place in search of that tiny hope.

Han Wuxie tried her best to appear like a confident and composed older sister, someone her younger brother could rely on.

"Tianci, since you trust your sister, then don't be afraid. I said nothing will happen, and nothing will happen! I believe that what exists inside you isn't a monster, but perhaps an angel protecting you! I will definitely find the answer. Until then, trust me. This is an angel helping you; it saved you, didn't it? Don't be afraid of it!"

Han Tianci nodded vigorously, sniffed, and tried not to let the tears fall.

Han Xingyu slapped him hard on the back. Although he was somewhat touched, he obviously pretended to be very mature. "I'm telling you, Han Tianci, what are you afraid of? What's in a grown man's eyes? Don't let it fall out! How can you be my brother, Han Xingyu, with eyes like that!"

"You brat!" Han Tianci wiped his eyes hard, his previous panic instantly gone. He then launched into a tirade of curses at Han Xingyu: "If you hadn't abandoned me, none of this would have happened!"

"That's because you couldn't beat that old man, otherwise why would monsters sprout from your body!"

"That's not a monster, my sister said it's an angel!"

"Pah! What angels? I don't even know what angels mean! I hate angels the most!"

"You little brat, you're asking for a beating!"

"Fight if you want! Who's afraid of who!"

"I forgot to tell you!" Han Tianci narrowed his eyes, smiling brightly, "I'm now at the peak of Martial King!"

"What! You've broken through!" Han Xingyu immediately stopped fighting, saying, "Then let's not fight anymore, there's nothing to fight!"

"You know there's not much point in fighting someone two levels higher? Then why did you put me with someone two levels above me!"

"What are you complaining about? If I hadn't thrown you to that old man, how would you have discovered the angel within you? How would you have been able to break through! You should thank me!"

"Thank you my foot!"

Seeing Tianci and Xingyu arguing, Han Wuxie smiled with relief. The fact that the two could still argue meant that everything was alright.

She closed the door for them and said, "Get some rest." Then she left.

But as soon as Han Wuxie left the room, Han Tianci and Han Xingyu stopped arguing and sat back to back on the ground, both looking exhausted.

Han Xingyu leaned back, and Han Tianci braced himself against her, frowning as he said, "Don't you have any bones?"

"I'm sorry," Han Xingyu said suddenly, very seriously.

"What are you doing?" Han Tianci smiled wryly.

Han Xingyu's eyes dimmed, and she said softly, "I shouldn't have left you alone."

Han Tianci waved his hand and said, "Isn't that matter in the past? I've forgotten about it. Don't bring it up again."

Han Xingyu asked worriedly, "Do you really think that thing inside your body is an angel?"

Han Tianci smiled faintly and said, "Of course I know that my sister said that to comfort me, but now that I think about it, although I don't know what it is, it seems that it doesn't usually come out, but only when I encounter danger, so it shouldn't be a bad thing."

"Let's hope so!" Han Xingyu tilted her head, leaning on Han Tianci's shoulder, and smiled, "Han Tianci, whether it's good or bad, my sister and I will protect you!"

Han Tianci pushed Han Xingyu backward, and Han Xingyu was suddenly pushed and fell to the ground.

"You brat, it's your brother who should be protecting you!" Han Tianci cursed.

Han Xingyu rolled her eyes at him resentfully and pouted, "Get lost! I'm covered in poison, who dares to bully me! But you, everyone loves to bully you!"

"What did you say!" Han Tianci pounced over, and the two children started wrestling on the ground. But in the end, they both lay on their backs and laughed loudly.

Han Xingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Brother, I've almost used up all my medicinal herbs. When are you going to use your talent again to help me find some rare herbs, and it would be best if you could also find some rare poisons while you're at it!"

"Tch, you brat, you only call me brother when you need me to do something!" Han Tianci scratched his head and sighed, "It's best not to go out and cause trouble lately. That young master I killed today seems to be a big problem. Things won't be peaceful for the next few days."

Han Xingyu said unhappily, "That big guy clearly died from his own spiritual backlash, but those old fogies who have families insist on coming to settle scores. It's so annoying!"

Han Tianci suddenly asked, "By the way, what are you going to do with those two old guys that Long Wu tied up?"

Han Xingyu narrowed her eyes with a wicked glint in them, raising an eyebrow as she said, "Shall we go check on those two?"

……

Chengzhu was writhing in pain on the ground in the yard, his body covered in mud.

Cheng Xiao had woken up, but his gaze held a hint of self-mockery.

He was tied to a thick tree. If he could use his internal energy, the tree wouldn't be able to hold him. However, Long Wu had poisoned him.

Acupoint Sealing Powder is a poison that prevents the use of internal energy, seals acupoints, and renders the person immobile.

After Cheng Xiao was knocked down by Long Wu, he fell into a coma and did not know why Cheng Zhu was in so much pain, nor did he know where Cheng Kun had gone.

Two children walked over, and he glared at them coldly with disdain. In his opinion, he had become like this because of Long Wu, and he was unaware of the power of Han Tianci and Han Xingyu.

"Han Tianci, this guy doesn't seem to welcome the two of us very much." Han Xingyu smiled amusedly.

Han Tianci curled his lip and said coldly, "This thing on the ground seems to be quite welcoming to you."

Upon seeing Han Xingyu approach, Cheng Zhu, like a lapdog, crawled to Han Xingyu's feet and begged, "Please, please, give me the antidote, give me the antidote..."

Cheng Xiao's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "So it was you who poisoned me!"

"No, no!" Han Xingyu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What's on you wasn't done by me!"

Cheng Xiao frowned and said sternly, "Brother Zhu, don't beg for help, but what kind of behavior is it for a dignified Martial Emperor to kneel before a child! Get up now, or the family head will surely expel you from the Cheng family!"

Cheng Zhu tried hard to suppress the pain in his body, and turned his eyes to say hoarsely, "So what if I'm kicked out? It's better than losing my life! I was just a servant of the Cheng family. I only stayed in the Cheng family because I had money. The Cheng family supported me, so naturally I stayed. But they never said I couldn't leave at any time. I'm not an elder trained by the Cheng family, so why should I risk my life for them!"

Han Xingyu playfully nudged Han Tianci with her shoulder and chuckled, "These two, are they fighting amongst themselves now?"

"You already know, why are you asking me!" Han Tianci rolled his eyes.

"Their infighting seems to be very advantageous to us!" Han Xingyu smiled slyly.

Han Tianci's gaze deepened. He sat down on a stone chair in the courtyard, took out a folding fan, and leisurely fanned himself, saying, "You go about your business. I'm just here to watch the show."

Seeing Han Tianci's carefree, self-satisfied demeanor, Han Xingyu gritted her teeth in anger and pouted, "This kind of evil work as interrogation always ends up falling on my shoulders. I'm always forced to be the villain!"

"Who told you to be a little devil? Actually, deep down you also enjoy doing things like this, don't you?" Han Tianci brought a pot of tea at some point and actually started sipping tea and watching the show like a spectator.

Han Xingyu pouted and glared at Han Tianci with extreme dissatisfaction, but Han Tianci had hit the nail on the head, and he didn't know what to say in rebuttal, so he chose to ignore Han Tianci.

Han Xingyu kicked Cheng Zhu on the ground with her toe and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Are you all servants of the Cheng family?"

"Yes!" Cheng Zhu's voice trembled slightly because of the unbearable pain.

Han Xingyu remained silent for a long time before slowly asking, "If you're referring to the retainers, they should be highly skilled individuals recruited by the Cheng family with substantial sums of money. They're there to keep watch for the Cheng family, to let outsiders know that the Cheng family is difficult to infiltrate and that they have many experts. They hold positions equivalent to elders in the Cheng family, but their treatment is much better than those elders who are trained by the Cheng family from childhood. Unlike those elders, they won't be slaves to the Cheng family, or even risk their lives. You retainers are quite free; the Cheng family has no right to demand that you do anything. You're merely there to maintain appearances and don't actually need to do anything. Why are you here to avenge the eldest son of the Cheng family?"

"Cheng Nankuang, the head of the Cheng family, is a very capable person. He is ruthless to outsiders but generous to his family. He is loyal and righteous, and we are willing to serve him..." Cheng Zhu was in so much pain that he could barely continue speaking.

Han Xingyu casually tossed him a pill and said indifferently, "Take this, and the pain will subside. But you still need to behave yourself; the poison isn't completely neutralized!"

Cheng Zhu hurriedly caught the pills and swallowed them greedily.

The medicine took effect quickly, and his complexion gradually improved. He sat cross-legged and tried to regulate his breathing.

"I don't have time to wait for you. Once you feel better, answer my questions properly." Han Xingyu's gaze instantly turned bloodthirsty and cruel as she sternly demanded, "What is Cheng Nankuang's cultivation level? How many people like you in the Cheng family are willing to risk their lives for him? Does the Cheng family have any elders?"

Cheng Zhu hurriedly replied truthfully, "Cheng Nan Kuang's cultivation is at the peak of Martial Emperor. The Cheng family has no elders anymore because those elders previously refused to appoint Cheng Nan Kuang as the family head and instead helped his brother. After Cheng Nan Kuang became the family head, he killed all of them. Now the Cheng family only has retainers, all of whom are experts that Cheng Nan Kuang met on the martial arts continent. There are eight retainers in total. Cheng Kun is dead. Besides me, Cheng Zhu, and Cheng Xiao, who you tied to the tree, there are five other people."

"What! Brother Kun is dead?" Cheng Xiao stared in horror, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Wasn't Brother Kun's cultivation already close to the peak of Martial Emperor? He was the most powerful among the three of us. How could he be dead! Who killed him! Was it also due to poisoning?"

"It's not because of poisoning." Cheng Zhu's face was a little pale. When he recalled the scene of Cheng Kun's tragic death, his face turned a little blue. He clearly saw the scene of Han Tianci killing Cheng Kun. At that time, he was in so much pain that he was rolling on the ground and could not go forward to help Brother Kun. But at the same time, he was also glad that he was poisoned at that time and could not go forward, otherwise he would also be burned to ashes by that terrible flame.

"If it wasn't poisoning, then who killed him? Is there a peak Martial Emperor expert here?" Cheng Xiao's voice was hoarse and excited, with a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

Cheng Zhu pointed tremblingly in Han Tianci's direction, his throat seemingly constricted, and said in an extremely heavy voice, "It's that child."

"That child?" Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, saying, "Absolutely impossible!"

Cheng Zhu nodded seriously and said, "It was him. I saw him pierce Brother Kun's heart with my own eyes. His internal energy materialized into a terrifying flame. Brother Kun didn't even leave behind a complete corpse; he was reduced to ashes."

Cheng Xiao shook his head firmly and said, "I don't believe it. You must be seeing things because of the poison! Brother Kun has escaped. He went back to report the news, and someone will come to rescue us soon!"

Cheng Zhu smiled sadly and shook his head, saying, "Although Cheng Nankuang has been very good to us, we both know in our hearts that I am still just an outsider. He hasn't even avenged his son yet, so he won't care about our lives."

"He'll come back to report eventually! Everyone here will be tortured to death by the patriarch, bit by bit!" Cheng Xiao laughed coldly and bloodthirstily.

Han Xingyu stretched her neck and asked lazily, "Have you two finished talking? Now, you should understand your situation, right? Two prisoners discussing these things in front of me, isn't that courting death?"

Cheng Zhu hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Young Master Poison, I am willing to follow you. Please spare me. I only serve the Cheng family to make a living. I can stop serving the Cheng family at any time. My original name is Guo Zhu. Once I call back my original name, I will have no more connection with the Cheng family. Please give me the antidote. I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life."

"Poison Prince? You've certainly given me a nickname!" Han Xingyu pondered for a moment, then chuckled with amusement, "Not bad, from now on I'll be known as Poison Prince in the martial world!"

He raised an eyebrow at Han Tianci, who was drinking tea beside him, and asked with a smile, "What do you think? Not bad, right?"

Han Tianci inwardly scorned: The little divine doctor of the Demon Realm, the little devil of the Boundless Sea, the young master of the Han family in the Immortal Realm, became a black-hearted divine doctor in the Nine Provinces Continent of the Mortal Realm, and gained the nickname of Poison Prince in the Martial World Continent. Han Xingyu's life has been glorious, but mostly filled with infamy. Who knows how much more infamy he will have in the future!

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Han Xingyu frowned, displeased with Han Tianci's absent-minded look. "What are you thinking about so intently?"

Han Tianci chuckled, "I'm wondering how much more infamy you'll have in the future!"

Han Xingyu rolled her eyes, expressing her dissatisfaction, and said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'infamy'? These are all my glorious nicknames, representing my strength. Ordinary people don't have nicknames!"

"Fine, fine, call me whatever you want, it's none of my business!" Han Tianci said dismissively.

Han Xingyu said domineeringly, "How can it not be your business? We're on the same side! My name is Poison Prince, and you need to have a proper nickname too!"

"I don't need it!" Han Tianci sneered.

Han Xingyu smiled playfully, "My name is Poison Prince, how about you call yourself Treasure-Hunting Prodigy?"

"Go to hell!" A teapot flew over.

Han Xingyu received the teapot smoothly, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Thanks for your tea!" After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank, but unfortunately the teapot was already empty.

Han Tianci smiled.

Han Xingyu frowned in anger and threw the teapot back. "You didn't even leave me a drop! I'm doing all the hard work here, and you're having it easy!"

"It's your own choice! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and ask all the questions you need to ask!" Han Tianci became a little impatient.

Han Xingyu curled her lip and looked at Cheng Zhu, coldly saying, "I do like to take on subordinates, but I am also a person of principle. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others cherish. Since you already have someone else, why should I compete with you?"

"My name is Guo Zhu now, and I have no relation to the Cheng family!" Guo Zhu hurriedly waved his hand.

Cheng Xiao roared, "You pushover! How dare you betray the family head!"

Guo Zhu was also enraged, coldly snorting, "Betrayal? What is betrayal? I am merely a retainer. I can stay if I want, and leave if I don't. That was agreed upon when I promised the family head to become a retainer!"

"Stop, stop, stop! I don't have time to listen to your arguing! You keep saying you're not a member of the Cheng family, but you just called Cheng Nankuang the head of the family, didn't you?! I don't like scavenging for trash, and a guy like you who's always ready to betray me doesn't deserve to be my subordinate!"

Han Xingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, a chill slowly rising within them. Her voice instantly became as cold as a demon reincarnated, "What are Cheng Nankuang's hobbies? What moves does he excel at? Do you know how to counter his moves?"

Guo Zhu knew that no matter how much he begged, he couldn't become this kid's subordinate. He was a cunning man, how could he really want to be a little brat's subordinate? He just wanted to get the antidote, then stay by the kid's side, and when the little brat lowered his guard, he would take revenge for today's grudge!

Guo Zhu frowned and hurriedly pleaded, "I'll tell you everything honestly, can you give me the antidote?"

"Sure, as long as what you're saying isn't a lie, I'll give you the antidote." Han Xingyu smiled coldly.

"Don't say it, Guo Zhu, you bastard, you mustn't betray the master..."

Han Xingyu scratched his ear, picked up a handful of dirt, stuffed it into Cheng Xiao's mouth, and said coldly, "You're a loyal dog, but your master hasn't come to save you yet. Your loyalty is just foolishness!"

……

Han Wuxie arranged to meet Zhu Fengmo. In Han Wuxie's room, only the two of them were present. Seeing Han Wuxie's somewhat nervous demeanor, Zhu Fengmo looked puzzled, her mind racing with speculation: She called me over tonight, just the two of us... could it be that she has something to say to me? Does she know I like her? But Hua Qianye shouldn't have told her, right?

Han Wuxie remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I have something very important to ask you, which is why I asked you out so late."

Zhu Fengmo's heart tightened. Did she really know?

Han Wuxie sighed and said, "It's about Tianci."

Zhu Fengmo was slightly taken aback, unsure whether she was disappointed or relieved, and gave a wry smile.

Han Wuxie frowned and asked, "Tianci killed a mid-stage Martial Emperor expert today."

Zhu Fengmo asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a good thing? Although I don't quite understand the ranking system for martial artists, I know that Tianci is probably not yet at the mid-stage of Martial Emperor. Being able to kill an enemy who is above his level is a sign of great strength."

Han Wuxie said solemnly, "If he really did kill him, I would be happy, of course. But now he tells me that when he was facing the divine pressure of a mid-stage Martial Emperor and was unable to move, a very powerful force, or even a very powerful soul, within his body pushed his soul aside, controlled his body, and then killed the mid-stage Martial Emperor. That soul could materialize internal energy, clearly surpassing the existence of a Martial Saint!"

Zhu Fengmo's expression also turned serious, and she asked in a deep voice, "You mean, there's a very powerful soul inside his body?"

"I'm not sure if that's true, but Tianci is certain that there was something very powerful inside his body. At the time, he was certain that it wasn't himself, as if he was possessed. That thing could control his body, and he became a complete bystander, watching his own body do a series of things until he killed a mid-stage Martial Emperor expert, at which point he regained control of his body."

Han Wuxie looked at Zhu Fengmo with hopeful eyes and said, "You know a lot about the God Realm. I want to ask, is this related to what you told me before that those with talents are reincarnations of gods? Hua Qianye said it was because of a talent mutation, or that some hidden strength within my brother's talent was awakened, but my brother insists that he was possessed by a powerful soul. Is this related to the reincarnation of gods? I've been thinking, could those talents refer to the powerful forces that gods possessed before their fall, which remained in their bodies after reincarnation?"

Zhu Fengmo didn't want to shake his head, but he couldn't answer. He smiled bitterly and said, "I've already told you everything I know about the God Realm. I don't know how to answer your question. I don't know much about talent because the passage between the Immortal Realm and the Mortal Realm was destroyed, and our snake clan's elders who ascended haven't returned for a long time. They simply can't bring us the things recorded by the divine beasts that ascended to the God Realm. I don't know what's inside Tianci's body, but what you're guessing is quite possible. I've heard about the immortality of the divine soul."

"An immortal soul?" Han Wuxie stared at him blankly.

Zhu Fengmo solemnly explained, "Perhaps the talent stems from the immortality of the divine soul. The immense power originally possessed by the deity is preserved and becomes a talent for reincarnation. Once one becomes a god, one possesses a divine soul. Even if one is reduced to ashes, as long as the divine soul remains, there is a chance for reincarnation. Therefore, every reincarnation of a deity possesses the divine soul of their previous life. However, some divine souls are weak and lack the power of the reincarnated soul, and are swallowed up by the soul over time. But some divine souls carry a strong will, perhaps because they have unfulfilled wishes in the divine realm, which is why they are unwilling to merge with the reincarnated soul."

Zhu Fengmo frowned and analyzed, "If my guess is correct, perhaps Tianci's body still contains the consciousness of his soul from before his reincarnation."

Han Wuxie asked, "So, in other words, Tianci's body contains the souls of both his past and present lives. That guy he thinks is a monster is his soul from his past life?"

Zhu Fengmo laughed awkwardly, "It's just my guess, I can't be sure."

Zhu Fengmo said solemnly, "I am guessing that because of an unfulfilled wish, that wisp of divine soul has always been unwilling to merge with Tianci's soul. It carries the memories of the original fallen god, as if that god lives in Tianci's body. In a sense, it is two people living in one body, but in the past life and this life, they are actually one person. The three souls and seven spirits cannot be missing one. He is actually Tianci, and Tianci is him."

Han Wuxie gripped his sleeve tightly, his voice filled with worry. "But Tianci can feel such a strong sense of separation, making him feel that the person isn't him, but someone else who might devour his body? What if, in the end, that divine soul becomes too powerful and replaces the current Tianci? Devouring Tianci and completely transforming into that divine being?"

Zhu Fengmo comforted him, "His appearance was to protect Tianci, and he didn't do anything else. He usually hides himself, which shows that he has no ill intentions. Perhaps it's because Tianci is too weak now, and he doesn't want to merge his soul with Tianci's or tell Tianci the memories in his soul. Maybe in the future, when Tianci becomes stronger, he will give Tianci the unfinished wishes in his soul and willingly merge into Tianci's soul, becoming completely controlled by Tianci."

Thank you so much for your comments, Shang Zixi, Moran Shang, and Hu Leijing. Based on your feedback, I've resolved yesterday's issue. The final decision is that Tianci is possessed, but not by Hongbao; rather, it's the lingering spirit of his past life. Thank you all for your suggestions, and I hope you like this answer. (*^__^*)
