Above all spirits

Chapter 395 The Spirit Clan "Siblings" (Part 2)

"you sure?"

"Since you've survived until now, your sister can't be too bad off, right?"

"If it were in the hands of the dragons, I think they would definitely not give away such a lucrative prize."

"It shouldn't be too hard to find if you really want to."

Gu Yun speculated that every word he said struck a chord with the little boy in front of him.

A glint of light flashed in the little boy's eyes.

She looked up at Gu Yun, then at Yun Yin.

"Humans... Elves..."

Will you help me save my sister?

Gu Yun gave a soft "oh," not too surprised. All the spirit race members possess a special pair of eyes that can see through the essence of things.

This is almost universally known.

Therefore, it is not difficult to recognize that Yunyin is an elf.

But that's all there is to it. The Spirit Race can only be distinguished, not refined, unlike Chen Yuan's judgment of Yunyin as a member of the Elven Royal Family based on his own experience.

Are you dreaming?

"You expect me to satisfy my curiosity and then risk my life to go to the dragon clan to rescue your sister?"

The little boy was speechless, realizing that the situation was very unequal.

He knew what kind of beings the dragons were, and the fact that they had developed for so many years after annihilating the merfolk was even more chilling.

It's unrealistic to expect someone to risk their life to help you.

"If it's just to check on your sister's current situation, that's a different story."

"But aren't the Spirit Race all born from nature?"

"Although I don't know the origin, the Spirit Race shouldn't have the concept of bloodline."

Hearing Gu Yun's casual words, as if he were just stating a very ordinary matter, made the little boy even more certain of what he was thinking.

He nodded, as if he had made a decision in his heart, and looked directly at Gu Yundao.

"Yes, but our situations are different."

"It is our uniqueness that has created this disaster."

"However, I think after you hear this, you will choose to help us, and we will pay an equal price."

Gu Yun chuckled.

"Even if it means putting me against the dragon race?"

"Even if it means being at odds with the dragons."

Do you think I have that ability?

"You have."

The boy repeated it firmly.

Seeing that Gu Yun had no further questions, the boy began the process.

"Within the Spirit Race, there are no names. As the world knows, the Spirit Race is a very special race. The members are few and almost none of them know each other. The environment of the Spirit Race is like a great furnace. All the Spirit Race members were originally like a piece of iron. When they were polished, they would naturally be born."

"All spirit races are basically identified by the color of the light clusters of naturally born spirit bodies and the order of their birth. These factors are inputted into our cognition when we are born."

"You say you don't understand the origins of the Spirit Race, but even I, as a member of the Spirit Race myself, don't know why such a peculiar race exists in the world. We don't experience childhood, adulthood, or old age."

"From the moment our consciousness first awakens, we have our own personality, which often aligns with the additional abilities that the spirit possesses."

"I am a white spirit. Only six white spirits have ever been born, so I am called Bai Qi (White Seven)."

"And my sister is a black spirit born at the same time as me; her name is Black Seven."

"The reason she is my sister is not only because our abilities can complement each other, nor is it only because we can become the spirit of a magical artifact together. If that were all, we could simply say that we are a match made in heaven."

"The important thing is that my subconscious tells me that she is my sister."

"And she felt the same way."

Gu Yun frowned. He found the description rather strange and then asked.

"You mean, the reason she became your sister is because you subconsciously believed she was your sister?"

Bai Qi nodded, unsure if Gu Yun would understand his explanation, but that was the reality. He couldn't quite put his feelings into words, so he paused and waited quietly for Gu Yun's question.

Yunyin, standing to the side, rubbed her forehead in frustration.

"Gu, I'm a little confused. What does this mean?"

"What does it mean to say that I think you are my sister, therefore you are my sister? If it's only one-sided, then it might be a kind of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, but from what he's saying, it's two-sided. What is that?"

Gu Yun shook his head. Although his experience in the Three Realms and the unrestrained thinking brought by Earth allowed him to guess further and more deeply about many things.

But he really couldn't understand the Spirit Race. Perhaps Xiao Li's system would give him more information.

"I don't know the reason for now. If it were another world, I might guess that they were siblings reincarnated in a previous life, but there is no such thing as reincarnation in this world. You've been to the other side, and it was all broken into dust. After ruling out that possibility, I have no idea."

Yunyin seemed to have grasped something from Gu Yun's words, her eyes lit up, and she said.

"Could it actually be what you call reincarnation, but you're just unaware of some deeper rule?"

Gu Yun shook his head and said to Bai Qi.

"You can continue. For now, I'll think about the problem from this perspective."

Yunyin's words made sense, but Gu Yun still felt that the possibility was very low.

He had been to the other shore several times and spent a considerable amount of time there. He was certain that the soul's final destination was the other shore, and that in the other shore, the soul could only end up as fragments.

unless…

Some souls were not absorbed by the other side.

But is that possible? Gu Yun witnessed the entire process of Bai Qing'er's mother's soul returning to the other shore. Under the coercive force of that rule, Gu Yun couldn't think of even the slightest possibility of escape.

Bai Qi received Gu Yun's instructions and continued narrating.

"There is an unwritten rule within the Spirit Race that every Spirit born every hundred years must find a master they recognize, otherwise they will be recycled, which means being remade. This is one of the few ways Spirits die."

"We spirits have almost no concept of lifespan. Once we recognize a master and have a spiritual treasure that can house our spirit, we will almost never die naturally."

"So, you've already chosen a master?"

Gu Yun tentatively said that the history of the extinction of the merfolk is not something that has happened in recent decades.

Bai Qi smiled wryly and raised his hand, pulling on the iron chain binding him.

"No, I don't know how the merfolk managed to do it. My spirit is sealed. My current state is like being stored in a magical artifact. Although my freedom is restricted, it ensures that the spirit within me does not dissipate."

"This indirectly exempts me from the constraint of the century-long time limit."

"Originally, no one could force the Spirit Race to acknowledge a master. All the Spirit Race members were not afraid of death, and there were no bonds that could threaten them."

“But I became an exception, I am truly a disgrace to the Spirit Race.”
