Shadow Hack
chapter-438

The black mist originated from the main body of the remnant will.

Since Li Yunmu had supplemented the flaw in his flux points after descending, he had almost an identical constitution to a native of the Origin World. Because of that, if he returned to his Earth, it was highly possible that he would become the most ideal target for the remnant will's main body to seize.

Why would he be the most ideal target? Because the main body of the remnant will was from the Origin World.

Slowly, Li Yunmu understood everything. He would have never expected that the black mist around his homeland was surprisingly because of an ancient god's deity soul which had existed for more than ten thousand years, according to the remnant will.

As a result, not only he, but other descenders like Hai Yue, Xiye Hanbei, or Man Tian also couldn't return to Earth.

Otherwise, if Undercurrent's deity soul seized a fully compatible body, the consequences would be disastrous. After all, there was no one on Earth who could resist an ancient god that had lived for more than ten thousand years.

But that raised another question. Since the remnant will was a wisp of the deity soul and a part of Undercurrent, why was it trying to obstruct Li Yunmu's return which would be favorable to the god?

"In a blink, two hundred years passed since I had been separated on this island so as to make preparations for the main body to return to the Origin World. But by now, I am no longer part of God Undercurrent. I am complete, and I have also chosen a name for myself. My new name is God Flowing Wind."

The remnant will seemed to have sensed Li Yunmu's suspicion and calmly spoke without a hint of yearning in its tone. However, its reply attracted a secret ridicule from Li Yunmu.

Even a wisp of deity soul dares to call itself god. Is the title of a god worth so little?

But he slowly realized what the opponent was thinking. A long time had passed since Flowing Wind, a wisp of a deity soul had separated from the ancient god, and it had gradually developed its own personality.

Given that it had developed its own thoughts and feelings, it naturally wasn't willing to become part of someone else again.

The remnant will's vain attempt at calling itself God Flowing Wind and becoming a whole new person had almost reached fruition. If the willpower of Ya Yan and the other three hadn't crumbled and they would have reached the mausoleum, the remnant will would've certainly seized the body of one of them. After gaining flesh, it then would've been able to escape from the island and become a fish in the ocean.

Afterwards, as long as God Undercurrent didn't return to the Origin World and Flowing Wind didn't meet someone who could restrict him, his life wouldn't have been hard. With the help of the ancient god's deity soul's essence, he might have become a new powerhouse in the Origin World after a couple decades.

But because of Li Yunmu's existence, his plans had been crushed and he had been defeated. He had been unable to seize any body and had been forced to reveal the secret of Heavenly Path to an outsider.

"Actually, I find it very strange. I destroyed your plans just when you were about to succeed, so don't you hate me? You were surprisingly kind enough to stop me from going to Earth so that I wouldn't be caught by your main body," Li Yunmu said while focusing his gaze on the Void Disk in the sky.

"I didn't have a choice. I hate you, I hate you more than anything in this world, but I don't want to let God Undercurrent recover because of you. I am not willing to return to my main body. No way. Regardless of what happens, I am not willing to become part of the main body once again. I am complete, absolutely perfect…"

Self-proclaimed God Flowing Wind started mumbling nonsensical phrases to itself. Li Yunmu wondered if the deity soul had been affected by remaining in the desolate cave for a long time. Or was it just that terrified of its main body?

Perhaps both of the reasons had affected him somewhat, but what mattered to Li Yunmu was that he finally understood the true thoughts of the remnant will. It seemed to be more afraid of confronting God Undercurrent and assimilating with him than being refined by Li Yunmu.

After all, if it assimilated with the main body, it would lose all traces of having existed in the Origin World.

[He has developed an extreme personality and is not willing to acknowledge his incomplete existence, which has created a large shadow over his heart. In this whole world, there's no one who would the despise God Undercurrent more than him.

[Host can exploit this point to make him serve you.]

The system had made a quick analysis and found the fatal weak point of God Flowing Wind.

Sure enough, the opponent was shaking fiercely. The system's analysis seemed to really point at the weakest point of Flowing Wind which Li Yubny hadn't even thought about before.

Although it was only a wisp of deity soul and didn't possess any flesh, Li Yunmu could clearly sense all its reactions within his Heavenly World.

"Impossible, impossible, you are too weak. If not for that treasure as well as a few other things which gave me a little fright, I would've come to possess you without trouble."

God Flowing Wind was startled for a moment, then he fiercely howled.

"Ha ha, there are no absolutes in this world. According to you, I am as weak as an ant in front you, but then I shouldn't have been able to obtain the inheritance of the dimensional space. And if I had really been that weak, I wouldn't have been able to confine you, even destroying your hope of countless years, but I have been able to accomplish all that!" Li Yunmu said in a self-confident and high-spirited tone.

"Besides, you don't have any options. You only have one choice, for I am the only person who can grant your wish. In the future, there might even come a day when I will return you your freedom and allow you to truly complete yourself," Li Yunmu promised calmly in an enchanting voice like a devil. Although the other party knew that the possibility of this happening wasn't very high, it still couldn't resist the temptation.
