Towards Eternity
Ch 672's. Bet
A few months later, in the inherited dimension of Weng Lou's previous life memories.
Weng Lao's life is now seen sitting with his eyes closed in the middle of the dimension above one of the mountains.
His figure now looked very thin. His body looks like it is made up of only bones and skin. He's like a man who hasn't eaten for weeks. The one who saw him would probably think that he was a dead corpse in a meditative state.
But the truth is that he's alive, or perhaps more accurately, he's a little dead.
He was not in a meditative state, but his consciousness was slowly disappearing due to his soul having been severely damaged during the process of absorbing the memories of his previous lives.
Using the manner in which his first life was told, Weng Lou had now absorbed ninety memories belonging to his previous life and left only nine lives that he had not absorbed.
But that also comes with a lot of risk. Because he unleashed the power of his bloodline, Weng Lou absorbed the memories crazily. Due to the process being too hasty, his soul gradually suffered damage.
Although now the danger from his Divine Race bloodline power was no longer a threat as it had stabilized, but the damage to his soul could make him die at any moment if he completely lost his consciousness.
"Great danger always comes with an equal advantage. Not only have you managed to absorb ninety memories of life, but your Practice Level has also undergone an astonishing increase. With the peak Soul Unification realm Practice Level 9, you have a chance of survival if you manage to ascend to the Soul Mastery realm and become a Soul Ruler.
Your soul will recover little by little if you succeed, but if it fails, then it's done. No need to think about the future, you won't even see tomorrow. So hang on, and create your Soul Lake! Create your Soul Lake to become a Soul Ruler!"
Weng Lou's first life spoke in a deep tone. Now his appearance had changed compared to the first time he had brought himself up. He looks like the age of Weng Lou in life today.
Eight other lives were silent to see him. The nine remaining Weng Lou lives are the nine strongest Weng Lou lives and have at least reached the dimensional gate to Earth and fought against the Dimensional Eater that existed in the dimensional gate.
Many of Weng Lou's previous lives have also reached like the ninth, but there are those that distinguish these nine lives from other lives. These nine lives had developed each of the strongest martial techniques of their time.
These nine martial techniques were not ordinary martial techniques that could be used by people in the realm of Soul Mastery downwards. It was even nearly impossible for someone in the Deva realm to be able to use the nine martial techniques that his ninth created.
In order to truly use the martial technique of their creation, at least one had to be in the Absolute realm.
Hence, these nine lives became ones that Weng Lou had not absorbed his memories. Not because he was no longer able to absorb the memories of his previous life, but indeed he would not be able to absorb any of the nine memories of his previous life even though he wanted to.
His Practical Level was too low to absorb them.
Those nine are the first life, the ninety-ninth life, the fifteenth life, the thirty-third life, the forty-seven life, the fifty-one life, the sixty-nine life, the thirty-third life, the seventy-three life, and the eighty-six life.
Currently, inside the Weng Lou Dantian, there was a thirty kilometer wide Lake that continued to expand over time. Although his consciousness continued to fade, Weng Lou still survived to form his Soul Lake.
Little by little the lake continued to expand. If it continued like this, then this Soul Lake would have an area of fifty kilometers within one month, and after that Weng Lou would be ready to ascend to become a Soul Sovereign.
But does he have that much time? No, he would die in a few more days due to the fatal damage to his soul. The only thing keeping him alive right now was his determination and stubbornness.
Weng Lou's consciousness that continues to weaken little by little makes the nine previous lives of Weng Lou who are left to look at each other.
"This is not going to work. The damage to the soul is too great, he will not survive until his Soul Lake is finished forming," Weng Lou said of his seventy-three life.
The eighty-sixth life nodded in agreement and spoke, "The damage to his soul has at least affected the source of his current Soul Power. The more Soul Power he used to form the Soul Lake, the greater the damage to his soul as well. I think he'll at most only last one week if he keeps on forcing the formation of the Lake of Souls."
Weng Lou's ninety-ninth life and first life looked at each other and let out a long sigh. This was the worst possible situation out of everything they feared.
Using the power of the Divine Race bloodline to absorb memories much faster did sound very good, yet it came at a huge price. However it was the only chance for Weng Lou to stay alive and raise his Practice Level so quickly.
There is nothing more that both can do. It was already a miracle that Weng Lou could still survive to this day. In reality he should have died a few days ago after completing the memory absorption process from his thirty-fifth life.
He poured out all of his Soul Power to instantly form a Soul Lake twenty kilometers after and continued to expand it until now.
"Didn't you have another solution like before?" asked Weng Lou the ninety-ninth life on Weng Lou's first life.
Weng Lou's first life instantly shook his head. He did not have any idea to repair the soul or suppress the damage to Weng Lou's soul of present life.
"The only thing we can do right now is wait. The process of making the Soul Lake is very important and cannot be disturbed. We can actually help him if only there were some training resources that could increase the production of Soul Power on the body. Yet such a resource must even be consumed by itself, if we force itself to use that resource, the result is that his Soul Lake will become unstable and he will die," obviously Weng Lou's first life.
After some time later, Weng Lou's present life suddenly showed a slight movement.
His eyebrows are slightly pucker. His two hands in front of his chest shook slowly. His body that was so thin made him seem to be able to fall at any moment.
It was at that moment that both of his eyes suddenly opened. A pair of dull and very tired looking eyes. He looked up and looked at his first life.
"I.... have some such resources inside the Spatial Necklace. Help me get it out" he said with great effort.
The previous nine lives of Weng Lou were silent to hear it. Without lingering, Weng Lou's ninety-ninth life immediately walked up to him and took the Spatial Necklace from Weng Lou's neck.
With his Soul Power, he immediately took out some medicinal pills that were resources that could increase one's Soul Power production. The pills were soon given to Weng Lou's present life.
He took one of the pills and directly swallowed it without hesitation.
Immediately, the amount of his Soul Power began to increase very quickly and he immediately directed it into his Soul Lake. The vast development of the Soul Lake increased, but that speed was not enough to help Weng Lou reduce the time he needed to complete his Soul Lake.
Weng Lou quickly took another pill and swallowed it.
Witnessing this first-life Weng Lou could only shake his head in lethargy.
"He's just making his soul damage even greater. Although using the pills was effective enough to help him in making the Soul Lake, but he would die before the manufacturing process was complete," he said.
But Weng Lou's life now doesn't care about it. Every few minutes he would take another pill and directly put it in his mouth.
Although he had to focus on forming the Soul Lake, but he could use a little of his consciousness to swallow those pills.
The damage to his soul grew bigger bit by bit and this affected his consciousness.
This is a big gamble. Either the one that was finished first, his Lake of Souls, or his loss of consciousness.
