Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#523 - Chapter 522: How to Use the Soul Devouring Orb

Fu Yuesheng frowned: "How did you get yourself into this state?"

"I encountered some unexpected setbacks while searching for the Seal of the Gods, but I've already resolved them, and I even gained some unexpected benefits."

Li Chenqiu's tone was light, and he turned to look at Fang Wan, who was frozen by Fu Yuesheng.

"Small setbacks?"

Fu Yuesheng walked to the table, poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Li Chenqiu: "You've used up all the protective charms I drew for you. These setbacks must have been significant!"

That's right, the reason Li Chenqiu was able to block Fang Wan's Ice Execution earlier was entirely due to the talisman Fu Yuesheng drew on his body.

"Part of the plan, not really dangerous."

Li Chenqiu tilted his head back and drank the water in the cup in one gulp, then walked to Fang Wan, stared at him for a while, straightened up, and activated the Seventy-Two Transformations.

White mist rose, and in a short while, his appearance became identical to Fang Wan's.

Fu Yuesheng wasn't shocked by this scene. He had known about Li Chenqiu's ability to change his appearance when he was searching for the Soul-Devouring Orb.

"Fu Yuesheng, can you make him open his mouth and speak?" Li Chenqiu asked.

Fu Yuesheng opened his mouth and said, "Speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Wan's frozen face began to move, but his body was still unable to move.

"You… you are Li Chenqiu???" Fang Wan's pupils trembled slightly.

After the water mist reconstructed his body, his image was that of Li Chenqiu. At first, Fang Wan didn't notice because his back was turned, but he noticed this after entering the wooden house.

"I didn't expect I'm quite famous. Even someone as strong as you knows my name," Li Chenqiu replied with a smile.

Fang Wan was shocked and continued to ask hesitantly, "'Wang'… was that also you?"

Li Chenqiu squatted down and looked at him at eye level: "Before answering this question, shouldn't you introduce yourself to me?"

Fang Wan's face was extremely ugly. He rolled his eyes and glanced at Fu Yuesheng, then looked back: "After introducing myself, you're going to kill me and leave here with my identity, right?"

"You still have some use. As long as you honestly answer my questions and obediently listen to me, I might let you live," Li Chenqiu said sincerely.

"Heh heh heh, live… Do you think I'm a fool? I already know your identity, how could you possibly let me go?" Fang Wan sneered, his eyes empty and lifeless.

Li Chenqiu didn't waste any more words and directly turned to Fu Yuesheng and asked, "Can I use the Soul-Devouring Orb to devour his soul?"

Fu Yuesheng shook his head: "No, his soul's strength is far too high for you."

"What about you?"

"I naturally can."

After hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Li Chenqiu took out the Soul-Devouring Orb from his space ring without saying a word and replied gratefully, "I'm counting on you!"

Fu Yuesheng took the Soul-Devouring Orb and pressed it against Fang Wan's brow.

Buzz—

The Soul-Devouring Orb emitted a faint light, and then, a shrill scream suddenly rang out.

"Ahhh!!!"

Veins popped out on Fang Wan's forehead, and his delicate face became twisted and distorted with pain.

Fu Yuesheng said calmly, "Shut up."

The scene instantly became quiet.

Li Chenqiu watched this scene and asked curiously, "How is this Soul-Devouring Orb used?"

Fu Yuesheng replied, "The Soul-Devouring Orb is like a container that can store souls, but it can only store one soul.

If there's no soul stored inside, placing the Soul-Devouring Orb close to the brow will devour a soul. If there is a soul stored, placing it close to the brow will reverse the process."

"Then, if I accidentally remember it wrong in the future and put the Soul-Devouring Orb without a soul stored inside on my own brow, wouldn't that…" Li Chenqiu gasped.

Fu Yuesheng looked speechless: "If you feel pain, just take the Soul-Devouring Orb away. Your hands are on your own body, you can't possibly kill yourself, can you?"

"That's true." Li Chenqiu scratched his head awkwardly and changed the subject: "I have a question. Can you only devour someone's soul when they're alive?"

"It's best to do it while they're alive. That way, the devoured soul is complete. Once they die, the soul will dissipate quickly. In that case, the devoured soul will be mostly incomplete."

Li Chenqiu's eyes gleamed with understanding: "I understand. So, if I blow someone's head off, can I still use the Soul-Devouring Orb to devour their soul?"

"If they're dead, just place the Soul-Devouring Orb close to their corpse. The closer to the brow, the better the effect."

As he spoke, Fu Yuesheng removed the Soul-Devouring Orb from Fang Wan's brow, pressed it against his own brow, and closed his eyes: "Be quiet, I need to digest his memories. Ask me any questions later."

"Okay."

Li Chenqiu responded and stopped talking, turning to look at Fang Wan, who was sitting on the ground.

At this moment, Fang Wan's pupils were bloodshot, his gaze was scattered, and his face was dull and lifeless. He was clearly dead.

"Another corpse obtained."

Li Chenqiu's lips curled slightly. He shook his somewhat dizzy head, walked to the table, sat down, and waited for Fu Yuesheng to finish digesting the memories.

The silence lasted for less than a minute before Fu Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes. The vicissitudes between his brows slowly faded, and he turned his head with a complex expression.

When he saw Li Chenqiu, who was squinting slightly, propping his head with one hand, and nodding continuously, he asked, "Are you sleepy?"

"Yeah…"

Li Chenqiu subconsciously responded, then immediately reacted and quickly raised his head: "Huh? Are you done?"

Fu Yuesheng walked to the table and sat down, nodding: "I understand everything. Ask me anything you want!"

"What's his name, what's his ability, what's his personality like…"

…

After obtaining Fang Wan's general information from Fu Yuesheng, Li Chenqiu stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you. I've been a bit busy lately. I'll definitely bring some food next time I come. I'll be leaving first."

"You… you be careful."

"I will."

Li Chenqiu smiled, and was about to turn around and leave when Fu Yuesheng stopped him.

"The food isn't urgent. When you get back to shore, take some time to come here, and I'll draw another protective charm for you."

"Okay, thank you."

Li Chenqiu nodded, then his figure flashed and he left this world.

If he wanted to infiltrate the An Tong Si's team using Fang Wan's identity, he couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise, if they noticed anything unusual, the problem would be big.

After Li Chenqiu left, Fu Yuesheng closed the door and continued to grill meat on the barbecue rack, but compared to his previous ease and focus.

At this moment, his brows were somewhat heavy, and he grilled the meat somewhat absentmindedly.
