"Fellow Daoist, please don't be angry. Actually, what you mentioned earlier … I'm not very clear about it myself … I only remember that my injuries relapsed, and not long after leaving behind my last words, I lost consciousness … It wasn't until a few days ago that my spiritual sense suddenly awakened. Only then did I realize that I had actually died and turned into this wisp of soul, attaching itself to this Birthing Soul Flower …" Roman's soul trembled slightly in the face of Han Li's question, but then he sighed and said.
"Since you were awake a few days ago, why didn't you show yourself? Why are you still hiding in this Birthing Soul Flower?" Han Li's expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask.
"This … Firstly, it's because my aura is a little weak. Although it can't be maintained for long, once it leaves the Birthing Soul Flower, it may dissipate instantly. Secondly, it's because … I'm a little afraid of Fellow Liu's existence." Roman's soul said with a little hesitation.
"You know me?" Han Li frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Actually, I won't hide it from you … After I woke up, I could barely find out about some of the recent events on the island through a weak connection with the statue on the island when my people were praying and worshiping … So, I more or less know about your previous protection of Wu Meng Island." Roman's soul paused for a moment before answering.
Han Li looked coldly at the little black person in front of him. He didn't say a word, but his mind was spinning.
According to the current signs, what the other party said should be the truth. It was most likely that when he died, some of the aura of his original soul was somehow absorbed by this Birthing Soul Flower that had the power to gather souls and mixed with it. That was why Liu Ming didn't notice it at all.
Now that this flower had been ripened to a certain extent, the ability to gather souls had been strengthened, allowing the other party's aura to condense into this ghost again. Although it was temporarily stabilized under Liu Ming's reinforcement, judging from the other party's intermittent speech, it probably wouldn't last long.
Seeing that Han Li was silent, Roman's soul said with some embarrassment, "I tried to bluff my way out of helplessness.
"I tried to bluff my way through because I had no choice. I hope Fellow Daoist won't take offense … I also know that Fellow Daoist Liu wants to walk the path of an Earth Immortal … I don't dare to hope that Fellow Daoist can help me recover my true body. As long as Fellow Daoist promises to continue to protect my clan in the future, I'm willing to tell you everything that Fellow Daoist wants to know."
"Speaking of which, after coming to Wu Meng Island, I've more or less received a favor from the Luo Clan. If it's within my ability, I'll naturally protect the Luo Clan," Han Li said slowly.
"I believe that Fellow Daoist Liu is a man of his word.
If you have any doubts, just ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know. "Roman soul nodded and said.
"Let's talk about the Anicca Alliance that the mask mentioned earlier," Han Li asked as he glanced at the ox mask that was still hovering in the air.
"This … Anicca Alliance … How do I put it? It can be said to be an extremely mysterious organization. I don't know the specific situation of this organization. I only joined it unintentionally back then … However, my achievements in the future are actually all thanks to this alliance …" Roman soul seemed to hesitate for a moment before replying.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Han Li's heart moved, and he asked with some doubts.
"My aptitude was originally ordinary. Although I had some opportunities and bumped my way to the Form Synthesis Stage, I've been stuck in a bottleneck since then, and I had no hope of reaching the Great Dao in this life … Later, with the help of this Anicca Alliance, I got various cultivation resources and guidance on cultivation methods. Since then, it was as if I was suddenly enlightened. My cultivation base advanced by leaps and bounds, and I advanced to the Great Ascension Stage in one fell swoop. In the end, I successfully passed the tribulation and became an immortal … After that, after countless years of hard work, seeing that there was no hope of comprehending the power of law, I embarked on the path of an Earth Immortal with the help of this alliance."
"The Anicca Alliance's great support for you wouldn't be for free, right?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked again.
"Of course … After becoming an immortal, according to the agreement, in order to repay the resources that I consumed for my previous cultivation, I served the Anicca Alliance for tens of thousands of years for nothing, and only then was I able to regain my freedom … However, after that, in order to continue to maintain the low-level membership, I still stayed in the alliance." Roman soul sighed softly and continued.
"Could it be that after becoming an immortal, there are other great benefits to continue to maintain the membership of this alliance?" Han Li raised his brows.
"Fellow Daoist Liu is right. This Anicca Alliance's mysteriousness and power are far beyond ordinary people's imagination … Moreover, regardless of the status in the alliance, everyone believes in the principle that everything can be exchanged … After I was seriously injured, I wanted to rebuild the Earth Spirit Incarnation, and it was also through this alliance that I was able to exchange for another Birth Soul Flower," Roman soul said slowly.
"This is a bit interesting …" Han Li touched his chin and muttered.
"It can be said that as long as you're willing to pay the corresponding price, you can almost get everything you want in the Anicca Alliance … You can even invite powerhouses to help you kill the enemy." Roman soul seemed to recall many things in the past, and his tone became a little excited.
"I never believe that there is a business without capital in this world. There are so many benefits in staying in the Anicca Alliance, so I'm afraid the price you have to pay will not be small, right?" Han Li changed the topic.
"Indeed … The Anicca Alliance is not a place where you can stay just because you want to. The rules in the alliance are strict. If you want to maintain the low-level membership, you either have to pay a large amount of resources to the alliance regularly … Or you have to complete some tasks assigned by the higher-ups … Otherwise, not only will you be expelled from the alliance, you will also have to pay an immeasurable price …" Roman smiled bitterly.
"What kind of task?" After Han Li blinked his eyes, he looked a little interested.
"I'm ashamed to say that I've only carried out a mission in the alliance once … It's not an exaggeration to say that it's extremely dangerous.
It was in that mission that my earth incarnation blocked a fatal blow for my body, and it collapsed. In the end, only a broken head was left. My body was also seriously injured because of this, but I was lucky to escape. "Roman soul shook his head.
"After that mission, you hid in this secret realm, recuperated and cultivated the Birthsoul Flower at the same time, right?" Han Li said after thinking about it.
"Yes … Since then, I have never participated in any mission in the alliance … In the following thousands of years, I have been gritting my teeth and relying on the resources to barely maintain my identity in the alliance …" Roman soul replied.
"According to what you said, why did you die?
As far as I know, even if your earth incarnation is completely destroyed, it won't affect your life, right? Not to mention that your incarnation still has a head left, so it can continue to receive faith power. "Han Li said with some puzzlement.
When Roman's soul heard that, he recalled the past and couldn't help but fall into silence.
After a long time, he shook his head and said sadly,
"My physical injuries had naturally recovered a long time ago, but I was limited by the destruction of my avatar, so the power of the Laws I could utilize was limited. Thus, I hid in the secret realm for over eight thousand years … But right at this moment, an enemy somehow came looking for me.
With no other choice, I could only sneak out secretly and face the battle with my true body. In the end, I risked serious injuries to kill him … After that, although I was able to return to the secret realm, my old and new injuries acted up at the same time. In the end, I was still unable to reverse the situation … "
"The mission is so dangerous, so the person carrying it out naturally won't be an ordinary person.
Could it be that all the low-level members of the Anicca Alliance are Universe Enlightened Ancestral Gods like you? "asked Han Li with a frown.
"This … I don't know …" Roman shook his head.
"Since you have carried out a mission, even if you don't know anyone in the alliance, you should have met other members of the alliance, right?" Han Li asked again.
"Mister, you might not know … The members of the Anicca Alliance will only meet during the mission. They have no contact on normal days … And when they meet, everyone must wear a special mask issued by the alliance." Roman's soul explained.
"This is the mask you mentioned, right?
This thing is indeed a bit strange.
Your true body has already fallen, leaving only a soul that can't even be regarded as a soul. I thought my Divine Thought is strong enough, but I couldn't detect it, but it can still sense it. "Han Li pointed at the ox mask and said.
"The strangeness of this mask is more than that … Not only can it hide all the aura and true appearance of the person wearing it, but it is also a secret treasure for members to communicate with each other … Once the person wearing it loses his membership, this mask will destroy itself." Roman's soul replied slowly.
"About what the mask said before, how do you plan to deal with it?" Han Li changed his mind and asked.
"Mister, you must be joking. With my current appearance, I naturally can't go as promised … Even if the alliance wants to investigate, my remnant soul has already disappeared without a trace … Just in case … If they vent their anger on our clan, I hope you can keep your promise and do your best to help us." The black dwarf laughed bitterly. Then, he thought of something and said with a sorrowful expression.
Han Li chuckled coldly, "That's quite a good plan. If the Anicca Alliance really is as powerful as you say, then how will I be able to protect Wu Meng Island by myself?"
"I naturally don't dare to ask you to fight them head-on, but I would be grateful if you could leave a little bloodline of the people of Wu Meng Island alive." Roman's soul began to beg Han Li bitterly.
"Maybe there is another way, but I don't know if it will work." Han Li glanced at him and said meaningfully.
"What way?" Roman's soul hurriedly asked when he heard this.
"What do you think about me participating in this mission on your behalf?" Han Li's eyes flashed slightly as he said slowly.
"Mister Liu, I have mentioned before … All the missions issued by the alliance are extremely dangerous. Do you really want to go?" Roman's soul was startled and said in disbelief.
