Feels Great, Your Majesty (Continued)
"Is that so? In that case, I can agree to this."
Without even thinking, Nina immediately agreed.
However, she immediately changed her expression, and said to William with a cold and stern face.
"However, I hope that after I have finished teaching Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not prevent me from returning to the seal."
"Oh, interesting..."
"You've already gained precious freedom, yet you still want to return to the seal. Is there something you can't say about it?"
Nangong Natsuki suddenly interjected, a flicker of interest igniting in her eyes.
Because she had a vague premonition that the woman in front of her was in a similar situation to her.
What Nina said next confirmed her guess.
Nina turned her gaze to William.
"Tell me! I'm also very interested in the other soul hidden within your Alchemy Core."
Support your left cheek with your palm!
Don't forget, the Alchemy Core was once in his hands for a period of time, and he used to play with it back then.
This handling wasn't just play; he sensed something unusual within it and was trying to perceive it with his heart.
At that time, the secrets within this Alchemy Core were already completely clear to him.
"I knew I'd seen through you!"
Nina bit her lip lightly, confirming that her guess was correct.
However, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain.
"The 'Sage's Spirit Blood' was indeed created by me and other alchemists, but there are misconceptions about it."
"Just because I was created doesn't mean I am the true master of the 'Sage's Spirit Blood'."
"Its master is the 'Sage,' an immortal being created using perfect humanity as a template. The reason I can manipulate the 'Sage's Spirit Blood' is simply because something went wrong at the end of the experiment. I am now serving as the 'Sage's' guardian."
"Really!"
William nodded; this was pretty much what he had guessed.
When Fan Xinglu mentioned alchemy to him, she told him that when her old friend created the body of spiritual blood, that body had once manifested self-awareness.
However, that person was also quite decisive.
He immediately invited his friends to forcefully suppress that faint consciousness.
However, this also meant that the refined spiritual blood was incomplete, failing to reach its full potential.
Otherwise, according to Fan Xinglu, if that person hadn't developed self-awareness back then, they would now be the undisputed world number one in the Asterisk War world.
"You failed to eliminate the newly born Sage consciousness, which led to a situation where it became too big to handle later on."
"In the end, we had no choice but to resort to sealing, and you were the sacrifice, weren't you!"
Nina gave a wry smile in response to William's seemingly sarcastic tone.
Firstly, she didn't dare to speak about William's strength.
Secondly, she really had no right to refute this, because it was their greed that caused this situation.
"His Majesty the Spirit King is right, after we successfully refined the Sage's Spirit Blood."
"Actually, we should have implanted Alchemy Core into it immediately, but the consciousness that the spiritual blood spontaneously generated made them ecstatic."
They believed this was the true soul of Sage, in contrast to implanting a human soul.
"The true soul of Sage can enable spiritual blood to evolve to a higher level."
As Nina spoke, her eyes inevitably drifted into a look of reminiscence.
"The Sage is indeed always seeking a higher level of evolution."
"But at that very moment, the Sage's rebellion began."
"He began to tire of conventional ways of acquiring material goods, becoming increasingly unrestrained and indiscriminate in his consumption of both meat and vegetables."
"Ultimately, it completely spiraled out of control."
"That's normal. In his eyes, you're no different from insects."
"Who cares what the insects think! Just obediently become sacrifices and don't resist; that's what they should do in your eyes."
William chuckled, and Nangong Natsuki and Nina did not object.
Because this is the dominant color scheme of this world.
In the era before the Covenant Regulations, the roles played by the True Ancestor and the so-called Sage were not much different.
To expect a superior race to care about an inferior race is to dream.
"That's right, so we cannot allow a creature even more violent than the True Ancestor to appear."
"So that battle nearly exhausted all the famous figures in the alchemical world before they were able to successfully seal the Sage."
At this point, Nina pointed to herself and said calmly.
"And I am the chosen guardian."
William remained calm, while Nangong Natsuki was completely moved.
This is because she, Nangong Natsuki, was once the monitor of the Prison Barrier, and now the Grand Alchemist before her is the guardian of the Sage...
However, unlike others, her prison-like life only lasted for six years before she was released.
But the woman before me has been fulfilling her duties for 270 years.
Moreover, even while she was within the Prison Barrier, she could still create her own dolls and enjoy the scenery outside, preventing her from feeling too lonely.
However, the woman in front of her could only view a small section of space through the relief sculpture.
She could hardly imagine how this woman had managed to persevere for so long.
Thinking of this, she felt a deep respect for the Grand Alchemist before her.
