Wang Wei carefully approached the egg, and upon close examination, it was indeed an egg. ’A creature being nurtured in such an environment? It must be extremely powerful.’ Wang Wei took a look and prepared to leave. He was worried that this creature’s parents might come back and eliminate him as a threat. Then, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
’What if I took its body?’ He has been in soul form for so long, and the idea of flesh was enticing beyond words could describe. ’But it’s probably not human. No, that doesn’t matter since I can probably change my form. However, is there any danger in body possession?’
According to what he read, there is usually some danger from body possession from the residual will of the body. However, this egg looked like a creature that hasn’t fully developed yet, so Wang Wei thought the process might be less dangerous.
He looked at the egg, hesitating. ’Time is running out, and I need to be decisive.’ He strengthened his resolve before rushing into the egg. He immediately made a connection to something, which he theorized was the creature’s body. However, the connection was not that deep, preventing him from knowing what he looked like.
Along with the connection, Wang Wei felt a power nourishing his soul. He did not know what it was, but it was potent, and the feeling of growing stronger was quite pleasurable. Sadly, his happiness did not last long. An unknown intruder suddenly attacked him.
"Is that the original owner’s soul?" Wang Wei thought as he saw a blurry humanoid shaped cloud attacking him. Wang Wei sneered before using his soul attack. He expected the attack to obliterate his opponent, but it did not. The humanoid creature’s soul suddenly became blurry and was about to disappear, but another power manifested and prevented its death.
Then, that unknown power or entity attacked Wang Wei’s soul. He immediately resisted by using as many soul attacks as possible, but it was pointless. The entity took a significant chunk of Wang Wei’s soul with one attack. By the second attack, Wang Wei had only 25% of his body left.
’Is this how I’m going to die? No, I refused. I’ve come too far to accept such a fate,’ he thought before using all he had learned about the soul to condense a barrier. His attempt was valiant, but the entity took another 10% of his soul. Wang Wei stacked as many soul barriers as he could, but the fourth attack only left him with 5% of his soul left.
Despair rushed into his mind, but he did not give up. He removed all negative emotions and focused on his defense. The next attack should have instantly annihilated him, but Wang Wei barely survived with only 1% of his soul. However, the endgame was near. The entity attacked one last time to annihilate him.
Wang Wei remained undeterred. He did not allow despair to take over his mind and focused all his mind on protecting what was left of his soul. At the last moment, an unknown power woke up deep from his soul.
"Willpower Manifestation," Wang Wei muttered as he paused the memory. He understood where his willpower cultivation started. He looked at the egg and smiled wryly. "It seems I have some destiny with the Fiendgod Race."
Fiendgods do not reproduce like humans. Instead, after being fertilized, the female Fiendgods will lay an egg. Wang Wei believed they developed his ability to prevent weakening the female during the pregnancy period. What his soul encountered was a Fiendgod egg. However, from its location and lack of security, something must have happened to its parents. The entity that almost killed him was the protection of the Primordial Will.
Wang Wei observed around himself from a three dimensional point of view, trying to see if he could detect whether Hongjun was nearby. He knew it was futile, but he wanted to try. The result was as expected, so he continued with the memory.
With the power of willpower, Wang Wei’s soul barely survived the onslaught from the Primordial Will. However, he also knew it could not survive another attack, so it desperately tried to run away as it protected itself from its new power.
