Qu Jianlei's question made those Obsessions that were relatively clear-headed stop speaking.
The more fragmented Obsessions were still bickering noisily, but their voices were growing weaker and weaker.
Qu Jianlei did not mind their clamor. These Heroic Spirits had not forgotten to protect the Ritual Artifact even after death, so what was wrong with them being a little noisy?
The din gradually subsided. At last, one Obsession remarked, "So those giant Alien Race creatures are spoils of war too. Not bad."
The spoils Qu Jianlei's team had obtained through countless hardships and every possible means were assessed with only two words: "not bad"! Still, it was understandable. The Artifact Spirit had said that every Obsession had been no weaker than Qu Jianlei in life.
That Obsession continued, "The Ritual Artifact need only remain in one's heart. Why must you repair it?"
"Perhaps... because I'm unwilling to accept it," Qu Jianlei answered after thinking it over. "The Human Race must pass on its flame, but we must also remember the legacy our forebears left behind!"
"I do not know how to repair it," the Obsession replied. "However, higher-grade sacrifices will produce better results."
In other words, even a Nascent Soul Realm Mother Nest was beneath the Ritual Artifact's notice.
Out-of-Body Realm... Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched. Those Out-of-Body Realm Mother Nests were not much stronger than Nascent Soul Realm ones, were they? The key was that although the team had slain the Ten-Armed Asura and the Out of Body Mother Tree, they had not left behind any physical remains! "Alien Race flesh, Alien Race flesh..." A wisp of Obsession drifted dazedly about, now near, now far.
"Alien Race artifacts are merely spoils. We need Alien Race Human Heads, Alien Race flesh, Alien Race..."
As that wisp of Obsession drifted, it actually dissipated
