Cultivation Pet Shop

Chapter 488 - Returned Souls (1)



After the system interface disappeared, the golden Lin Fan gave a yawn before saying, "It seems like I pushed it too hard this time."

Then he turned to the previous host Lin Fan and said, "I'm going to sleep for a bit, help me watch over him for now."

Without even waiting for a response, the golden Lin Fan turned back into a ball of light before disappearing back into the golden palace.

The previous host Lin Fan just stayed floating there looking at the palace that was on the right.

When he had shared his memories with the earth Lin Fan, he had shared everything except for a single memory that he kept hidden. It was a memory from the moment before he died, when there was a golden figure that had appeared in front of him.

The moment right before the previous host Lin Fan died, there was this golden figure that had appeared in front of him like a ghost. There were many things that this golden figure had told the previous host Lin Fan which made him accept the concept of death since it meant that his death would contribute to something greater than him.

But this golden figure had also told the previous host Lin Fan to keep this matter a secret from the earth Lin Fan because it was something that he couldn't know about it.

When they had fused together, the previous host Lin Fan had made sure that this was the only memory that wasn't passed on to the earth Lin Fan.

After thinking for a bit, the previous host Lin Fan also gave a sigh before returning to his own palace.

Once both of them were gone, the golden palace suddenly started to move. The golden palace floated into the air and then went to the right, changing places with the palace that had been on the right.

After these palaces had changed places, the other two palaces went dim while the palace in the middle lit up again.

When Lin Fan woke up, he was confused by what he had seen.

He was certain that he had lost in the battle against the figure in his mind, so why was he suddenly released?

When he opened his eyes, he saw the beast looking at him with an expectant look along with Mo Ze Chen and Wang Jian standing on both sides of him.

When the beast saw that he had opened his eyes, he came forward and asked in a concerned voice, "Master, how are you?"

Lin Fan was caught off guard when he heard this, but then he realized what the beast was thinking.

It knew that it was impossible for Lin Fan to fight against its master and resist being taken over, so it was assuming that the one who woke up now was its master.

But that wasn't the only thing that Lin Fan had seen. As he looked at the two standing behind the beast, he could tell that they were no longer under the control of the figure like they were before. Based on the clear look in their eyes, it was clear that they were in control of their own wills again.

Even if they were in control of their own wills again, neither of them said a thing as they stood behind the beast since they knew that there was no chance that they would be able to defeat it, so they had been waiting for Lin Fan to make a move as well.

However, that was on the basis that Lin Fan hadn't been taken over as well, so they were both pretending to be under still.

Lin Fan turned back to the beast and after pausing for a bit, he didn't know why, but the name of the beast had appeared in his mind.

Lin Fan looked at the beast and asked, "Xiao Hei, where did you place the souls?"

This was also strange for Lin Fan when he asked this because for some reason, he had inherited all of Huang Xiao Hou's memories. He didn't know what had happened, but for some reason, all of Huang Xiao Hou's memories were now his and he knew the full story of what happened in this village.

The beast that was called Xiao Hei was surprised when he heard this, but he knew that it was impossible for Lin Fan to know about something like this, so it had to be his master that was asking this. After this thought passed in his mind, he revealed an excited look and said, "Master, the souls are being stored in the treasure room. Do you want me to get it?"

Lin Fan paused for a second before giving a nod.

Xiao Hei didn't question Lin Fan once he received this order even if he found this strange and with a flicker, he disappeared from where he had been standing, leaving the three of them standing there.

But even though there were only the three of them left there, Lin Fan didn't talk to the other two. He was too busy sorting out the memories that were inside his mind.

It didn't take him long to do so, but when he did, he couldn't help thinking that this Huang Xiao Hou really was too daring.

In his memories, this Huang Xiao Hou had found out the truth behind the system and was afraid of being sacrificed as a pawn in the game of the gods, so he decided to rebel against them. He didn't do it secretly, but rather he went to attack the gods through a secret passage that led to their realm.

Naturally he had failed since he had tried to bite the hand that had fed him and the gods removed his system, but he had been able to escape since he had gotten an item from the system before it was removed.

As he escaped into the collapsing passage, he was thrown onto this world that was far away from the territory of the gods.

When he had been thrown here, this place hadn't been settled by the Galactic Humanity Alliance yet and was still the home of the people of these ruins. It could be said that they were the original inhabitants of this planet.

He had tricked them into becoming his forces by lying of a great calamity that would come, but in truth it had been him who had been behind all the signs that they received.

In the end, he was able to take their souls and turned them into his loyal soldiers, trapping them forever under his control.

It was just too bad that the calamity that he had lied about became a reality when the forces of the gods had attacked him, finally killing him in his weakened state.

But he wasn't willing to disappear like this, so he sealed a fragment of his soul along with this realm, in hopes of finding a way to gain another body one day. The one body that he hoped for was the next transmigrator that would be summoned because that would allow him to obtain another cheat system and become strong again.

His wishes had come true and Lin Fan had been pulled in, but right as he was about to achieve his goal, the memories suddenly cut off.

This was the one memory that Lin Fan cared about the most because he wanted to know what had saved him in the end. It was clear that something had saved him and it wasn't something that was inside of him, so he wanted to know just what this something was.

What Lin Fan didn't know was that the golden version of him had given him these memories on purpose just so Lin Fan would become more curious of the gods, fueling him in his chase of them. After all, the goal of the system was to turn Lin Fan into a tool that the gods could use and chasing after them was the best way to drive his thirst for power since he would realize the large gap between him and the gods.

Of course, he had also wiped the parts of Huang Xiao Hou's memories about him since he didn't want Lin Fan to know about him yet.

After sorting out his memories, Lin Fan knew what he had asked of the beast named Xiao Hei. The souls were the souls of the people of these ruins, the ones that had been turned into ghosts with the yin laws of Huang Xiao Hou.

As long as they didn't have their souls, they would continue as ghosts manipulated by Lin Fan, but once they got back their souls, they would be able to return to being humans again. So as long as Lin Fan got the souls from Xiao Hei and released them, he would be able to free the people of these ruins, the ghosts that were wandering around. As well, he could fulfill his promise to Mo Ze Chen and free Lulu.

Lin Fan also finally realized why Lulu and the elders in the crypt had called him their saviour.

An interesting fact was that Xiao Hei was a pet that Huang Xiao Hou once had, but after he had been thrown into this lower world with most of his cultivation sealed, it had become one of his most important tools.

Xiao Hei had turned from a pet that he had kept because he was cute to his right hand man who had helped him enslave the people of this world since all those years ago, this world didn't even have a Nascent Soul Realm Expert, much less a True Soul Realm Expert.

While Lin Fan was lost in thought, there was a figure in a butler's uniform that came back.
