The Shepherds' Souls

The Giant God Automaton leaped out of the Void Sea, looked up at the sky, where two small dragons were fleeing for their lives.

They not only regained their original torsos and limbs, but also grew an extra pair of fleshy wings, which flapped and carried them toward the Void River on both sides.

"This dragon-human Shepherds's abilities are getting more and more evolved."

Inside the Giant God Automaton's spiritual Spiritual Platform, Tang Ruowei saw the scene through the Giant God Automaton's eyes and then spoke.

"Yes, none of them should be underestimated."

Bai Qiuran's expression was serious.

"Fortunately, I set up two Magic Array on the island before I went into the sea."

He drew his bow again and shot an arrow at the two little dragons and the book. But just then, as if sensing the danger beforehand, the two little dragons folded their wings and swooped down, and Bai Qiuran's two arrows missed their mark.

As a race that is absolutely invincible from birth in this Void Sea, Salon indeed has little combat experience. However, in the battle with him, this Three-Headed Dragon Person's combat skills, instincts, and experience skyrocketed like a rocket. Just seconds ago, he was a target that could hit every shot, but now, Salon has learned a sense of crisis that even seasoned Warriors may not possess.

Bai Qiuran drew his bow again and fired several arrows in succession. However, tiny nozzles grew from the joints of the Wings of the two little dragons that Salon had transformed into. These nozzles spewed out blue energy flames, just like jet planes, carrying the two little dragons as they turned into shooting stars, circling in a dazzling trajectory, and breaking away from Bai Qiuran's arrow formation.

Seeing this, Bai Qiuran silently lowered the bow and arrow, manipulating the Giant God Automaton.

"Bows and arrows, as ranged weapons, are no longer effective against him."

Sensing that the enemy behind them had stopped pursuing, the two little dragons felt a little relieved. However, they did not let their guard down. Instead, they raised their alertness to the highest level and increased their speed, trying to completely escape the attack range of the Giant God Automaton.

They hid between nebula-like worlds, because Bai Qiuran claimed to be a life form within these worlds. While these worlds might not be on his side, he would never destroy the Material World at will, as could be seen from the pursuit of Salon just now.

If it weren't for controlling his attacks and avoiding the several Material World between him and Salon, Bai Qiuran could have pursued Salon even faster.

Therefore, the two dragon people only need to use the world as cover to make Bai Qiuran hesitate to act rashly.

You're overthinking it.

However, a fluctuation of Consciousness interrupted its thoughts.

When the fluctuations in Consciousness arrived, the two little dragons suddenly felt that they had lost control of their bodies.

They lowered their heads in a daze. Before they knew it, several bloody holes appeared on their bodies. Their two fleshy wings and four limbs were also missing. The cut surfaces were smooth and clean, and fresh blood was constantly flowing out.

Moreover, a strange Power of Light Threads was spreading across their bodies, transforming their flesh into a translucent Crystal material. Although the process was extremely slow, this Crystal was spreading throughout their entire bodies.

"You think I wouldn't dare to act just because you've hidden yourself in this world? I've already decided to kill you all. If necessary, I can destroy several Material World while I'm killing you, because most of the Material World will survive once you're gone..."

The Giant God Automaton strode towards the two little dragonmen, its feet treading on the surface of the Void Sea, each step leaving a footprint, making it appear like a blue-haired Tribal King. In its hand, it carried a Great Sword.

"I'm avoiding those worlds, delaying your death, simply because there's no need to destroy them. My sword could easily bypass those worlds and strike you through the vast gaps between them."

He raised his longsword, Sword Qi flickered on its blade.

"Goodbye, Salon. You were a worthy opponent."

Seeing this, the two little dragon-men struggled desperately, stretching their necks and emitting a final, Consciousness cry, "Tribal King! Ule wants to harm you!"

Their last breaths transformed into visible Power of Intent, which was transmitted through the energy of the Void Sea. The next second, a terrifying Sword Qi struck, completely shredding them to dust.

Two waves of Consciousness carrying its intentions passed between them for a while, but suddenly encountered an invisible barrier, bounced back, and were caught by the Giant God Automaton.

"Didn't I tell you? I won't let you escape."

Bai Qiuran said, "I started planning how to kill you the moment I saw you. I've already set up a Barrier in the sea near this island to isolate all Power of Intent."

The Giant God Automaton stretched out its hand, and a fragment of a soul fell into its palm, then into Bai Qiuran's hand.

Bai Qiuran held the fragment of the soul and cast a spell. An altar rose out of thin air beneath his feet, and then, using the fragment as a medium, began to summon the soul.

As if Time Reversal and the scene had been recreated, countless fragments of souls rose from the sands of the island and the Void Sea, gathering in his palm. These fragments eventually formed the soul of a Three-Headed Dragon Person, about the same height as Bai Qiuran, which floated quietly in mid-air.

The soul has no fixed size; it can be large or small, and so is the Shepherds's soul.

"However, to be honest, I think this soul power is still a bit weak. It looks... like it wasn't developed naturally or through training."

Tang Ruowei looked at the soul in front of her and stroked her chin, speculating.

"You're right, your horizons have broadened considerably. It seems your studies over this period haven't been in vain."

Bai Qiuran nodded. "Its soul shows obvious signs of tempering, but the existing Shepherds are probably unaware of this."

"Master, what are your plans for dealing with these Shepherds?"

Tang Ruowei asked.

"What should we do? These Shepherds are just on different sides from us. So after I defeat them, if conditions permit, I will let them enter our Six Paths of Reincarnation. If they become Human Race, they won't have to rely on devouring the world for food anymore."

Bai Qiuran pondered, "Of course, this is under the condition that conditions allow. Even the three-headed dragon Salon is so difficult to deal with, so the Tribal King is probably holding back. If a real battle breaks out, it's really uncertain who will win. If I hold back under those circumstances, I would truly be an idiot."

"We shouldn't delay, let's go back quickly."

Tang Ruowei reminded them, "The Shepherds have been gone for a while now. The sooner we return, the sooner the Immortal Realm can make preparations."

"Yes, you're right."

Bai Qiuran raised her hand and put Salon's soul away.

"The souls of the Shepherds are too strong; the Meng Po Soup is useless against them. I have to personally erase their memories... I wonder if using too much force will damage their intelligence."
