Infant Soul

[This viewing requires 1000 Heavenly Secrets Value. Confirm?]

"Confirm!"

Su Li didn't hesitate. He was even worried that the Heavenly Secrets Value consumed would be too little!

If it was too little, it would mean the event wasn't that impactful, and there wouldn't be much profit to be made.

This time, the consumption was the same as Hua Ziyan's deduction four days ago. This meant that the current event's impact was likely no less than that of the 'Heavenly Town Soul Stele'.

Lost in thought, Su Li's gaze fell below Fang Yueheng's entry.

In an instant, the information below Fang Yueheng's Life Archive spread out in Su Li's eyes, extending into more detailed information.

This information, like ripples spreading out, turned into streams of light and flew towards Su Li's eyes.

[Yunhuang Calendar Year 3030, September 3rd, 14:20. Fang Yueheng received a message from the Fang family. Fang Yueheng's mother, Qin Xiangwen, died from severe injuries.]

[Yunhuang Calendar Year 3030, September 3rd, 14:59. Fang Yueheng returned to the Fang family in Junlin Town. Fang Yueheng's father, Fang Yuanhao, went alone to the Liu family to seek justice for Qin Xiangwen. He was severely injured by Zheng Xueyan and thrown directly onto the street.]

[Yunhuang Calendar Year 3030, September 3rd, 15:03. Fang Yueheng and his half-brother, Fang Yueyu, went to the Liu family together. Fang Yueheng injured many Liu family members and severely wounded Zheng Xueyan, who had a conflict with Qin Xiangwen. At 15:12, Zheng Xueyan's son, Liu Songquan, coincidentally returned from 'Xuanming Holy Land' and set a 'Life and Death Duel' with Fang Yueheng. They signed a life and death agreement.

[Yunhuang Calendar Year 3030, September 3rd, 15:15:15. When Liu Songquan was in a critical situation, Liu family elder Liu Sansi forcibly intervened, but the intervention failed.

[Yunhuang Calendar Year 3030, September 3rd, 15:15:16. Fang Yueheng and Liu Songquan were suddenly assassinated simultaneously by Fang Yueyu. Fang Yueyu framed Liu Sansi as the murderer, killed Liu Sansi on the spot, and gathered the Five Elements Spirit Body on the spot...]

Su Li found this scene of information incredibly unbelievable.

Fang Yueheng was clearly an innocent and lovely young man. Furthermore, his past experiences were very pure and sunny. After being selected into Wanli Holy Land at the age of nine, he had been cultivating diligently.

He would also send a portion of his annual cultivation resources back to the Fang family, benefiting everyone in the family greatly!

Especially Fang Yueyu, whose cultivation had been crippled before. The vast majority of the resources he used to recover his cultivation came from Fang Yueheng giving them up!

This person had actually set up a deadly trap, not only sending his adoptive mother Qin Xiangwen to her death but also his father, and finally, he personally directed a killing spree that resulted in the deaths of his brother and Liu Songquan?!

The insidiousness and malice of this person were evident!

However, just this alone shouldn't consume 1000 points of Heavenly Secrets Value?

Su Li continued watching with a mix of emotion and doubt.

[Yunhuang Calendar Year 3030, September 3rd, 22:22:22. Fang Yueyu gathered the Yin Yang and Five Elements Array Diagram and the Souls of the Seven Great Yin Yang and Five Elements Spirit Bodies. In the Nine Desolations Tower in Changhe Town, he activated the 'Nine Desolations Altar', but was sacrificed by his master 'Yaolan' with the souls of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and died. Yaolan failed to transform into an Infant Soul. The Nine Desolations Altar mutated. Fang Yueheng's dormant second soul - the 'Soul of Demise' - revived, transforming into a peerless malevolent soul, forming the Soul Calamity of Demise, and in one night, massacred a total of 760,000 people across nine towns including Junlin Town, Leluo Town, and Changhe Town...]

Su Li silently finished reading this part and couldn't help but gasp.

"Was Fang Yueyu this malicious? Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice?"

Su Li stroked his chin and pondered for a long time.

Then, he carefully reviewed the Life Archive of 'Fang Yueyu' who appeared in the information.

After reading it, Su Li's expression became extremely complex.

Fang Yueyu's life experience was indeed very rich.

Fang Yueyu's mother was named 'Chu Yulian', a maid. Because she wanted to live a life of wealth and glory and use the Fang family to embark on the path of cultivation, she seduced Fang Yuanhao and deliberately made the matter public, almost causing Fang Yuanhao's engagement with Qin Xiangwen to fail.

Fang Bianmian, the old patriarch of the Fang family, thought Chu Yulian was immoral and wanted to expel her. Only then did he discover she was pregnant with Fang Yuanhao's child. So, he let her hide her identity, make amends, and give birth to the child.

Fang Yueyu had excellent talent after birth. The Fang family feared Chu Yulian would corrupt the child, so they sent people to snatch the child's custody from Chu Yulian and gave her a sum of Spirit Stones.

Chu Yulian was unwilling and went to Fang Yuanhao to argue, but she was kicked out of the house by the Fang family. Even Fang Yuanhao didn't see her.

After Chu Yulian left, her Spirit Stones were stolen. At the same time, due to the humiliation she suffered, she became mentally unstable and went insane.

Later, Chu Yulian became a vagrant and was tricked by a group of beggars into Changhe Town's Nine Desolations Tower, where she was subjected to various abuses.

After regaining consciousness, Chu Yulian, unable to bear the humiliation, hanged herself in the Nine Desolations Tower.

The day Chu Yulian died happened to be the day Fang Yuanhao married Qin Xiangwen as his official wife.

That day, the Fang family's wedding was grand and lively. Everyone in the Fang family was beaming with joy.

A year later, Fang Yueheng was born. After his Dual Spirit Body talent was detected, he became the hope for the Fang family's rise. All the Fang family's resources began to be directed towards Fang Yueheng, while Fang Yueyu was gradually marginalized.

Fang Yueyu was unwilling. At the age of ten, during a sparring match with Fang Yueheng, he severely injured the eight-year-old Fang Yueheng. This enraged Fang Bianmian, who crippled Fang Yueyu's cultivation on the spot and expelled him from the Fang family.

After being expelled from the Fang family, Fang Yueyu's background was exposed. He lost all support, was kicked when he was down, mocked, and ridiculed. After an argument with someone, he was beaten half to death and then captured by a group of beggars and taken to the Nine Desolations Tower.

Fang Yueyu suffered humiliation and torment from those beggars in the Nine Desolations Tower. Under immense shame and anger, his dormant second soul was stirred by the Infant Soul 'Yaolan' within the Nine Desolations Tower, and it began to awaken.

He learned about his mother's past from the beggars and harbored hatred for everyone in the Fang family.

He secretly killed all the beggars and built a tower of heads in the Nine Desolations Tower with their heads. Using his awakened soul power, he activated the ancient array on the altar and obtained a Short Sword.

Inside the Short Sword was an ancient Infant Soul that deceived him, made a false 'master-servant' pact with him, and taught him cultivation.

Half a year later, he returned to the Fang family, kowtowed to Fang Yueheng, and apologized. Fang Yueheng forgave him and pleaded with the patriarch Fang Bianmian, allowing Fang Yueyu to return to the Fang family.

Fang Yuanhao and Qin Xiangwen saw that Fang Yueyu had turned over a new leaf and began to cultivate him.

In the following years, Fang Yueyu was very low-key and diligent, and his status in the Fang family grew higher and higher.

In the subsequent years, the older generation of the Fang family would encounter various dangers, resulting in their bodies being unidentifiable - in reality, these people were all secretly tortured and killed by Fang Yueyu, and their heads were piled on the internal altar of the Nine Desolations Tower...

After finishing Fang Yueyu's Life Archive, Su Li then read the Life Archives of Chu Yulian, Qin Xiangwen, Fang Yuanhao, Liu Songquan, Liu Sansi, Zheng Xueyan, and Yaolan.

Among them, most people's experiences were relatively ordinary. However, Yaolan's Life Archive was extremely legendary!

Su Li could only see a small portion of Yaolan's Life Archive.

But even that small portion was enough to shock Su Li to his core.

Yaolan's age was over nine thousand years old. She had lived from the previous era into this current one.

And that previous era was called the 'Era of Demise'.

Or rather, this 'Yaolan' was already dead, having died during the Era of Demise due to some unbearable experience. However, the Infant Soul born from her Nascent Soul had not perished. Instead, it existed by lodging itself and self-sealing within a three-inch-long, Nine-Star Sacred Artifact-grade Short Sword.

And this sacred artifact short sword was the very one Fang Yueyu had accidentally obtained from an altar in the Nine Desolations Tower when he was ten years old!

As Su Li was observing these things, his heart suddenly trembled, and his entire body felt dizzy!

At that moment, deep within his mind, a phantom image appeared: a disheveled woman in a blue robe, her face covered in blood, her eyes bloodshot.

It was as if, while he was viewing her Life Archive, she was staring coldly at him through the endless void with her blood-splattered eyes!
