"Nice to greet you finally. You've earned the right to learn my na. I'm the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Soulless Pagoda, 'Soulless'!"
Jacob's eyes flickered furiously as the Artifact Spirit, Soulless, revealed itself before him. Furthermore, he instantly discovered how Soulless called the 'Divine Soulless Pagoda' instead of 'Soulless Ghost Pagoda.'
However, it wasn't necessary at this mont, as he asked curtly, "Where am I, and what is this place?"
Soulless snickering voice rang, "Keke, weren't you curious about where the Pagoda was located all this ti? Well, this is it. We are in the depth of Chaotic Space between the Legendary Plains and the Universal Void.
"Normally, those Legendary Kings with space-type abilities travel through the periphery of the Chaotic Space, where the space current is the gentlest. So of the ordinary elental planets were also born there.
"But this is the deepest part of the Legendary Plains chaotic space where the space current is the strongest and only ancient elental galaxies can exist in this place.
"Even a Quasi-Legend will have their body and soul totem tear apart once exposed in this place within a fragnt of a second unless they are Lesser Gods, at least. And right in front of you is my true body. This should answer so of your questions."
Jacob was shocked and instantly grimaced when he heard the truth about this location. Furthermore, he can't tell if Soulless is lying or not with the current rank of his Eyes of Judge.
However, with what he could preserve, Soulless shouldn't be lying about this place because he can tell how terrifying those invisible energies are outside. Without this bubble, he might really fall into a life-and-death situation.
But no matter how he thought about this, it didn't make sense for Soulless to bring him here.
After all, he had completed the trials, and since Soulless was still protecting him, Jacob mused that there might be another reason for Soulless to bring him here and tell so much.
"Alright, I get the point, but I still don't know why you have brought here. Did I fail the trial?" Jacob impassively asked while secretly preparing himself to act if things went south.
It was impossible to asure what Soulless was thinking, which made Jacob sowhat restless as he was ready to get thrown into the chaotic space at any mont.
At this mont, Soulless finally spoke, "I didn't discover it first, but now I'm sure you are not a ghost race mber, nor did you have any characteristics of a lich. Yet, you have a perfect body, this generation's Soulless Ghost King; even the Soulless Ghost Ancestor's residue Will wasn't able to find any fault with you and let you take the trial.
"Even I was fooled by you, but after I glimpse at your Divine Soulless Codex, I'm sure you are not the Soulless Ghost King. That scourge was too afraid of death and didn't care about his race at all.
"And finally, your eyes are not Nether Vision, but sothing even more profound." As Soulless stated, the bubble started to crack around Jacob, and it continued impassively, "Now, I'll give you a chance to confess. Who are you, and what are your motives? Since you passed the trials, and as I witnessed, you are an absolute talent of Soulmancy. On top of that, you seed to have a completely impossible soul totem with more than ten laws imbued in it, including the laws of Space and Ti. Even those eccentric Gods couldn't make it happen."
Jacob's eyes flared as the only thing he was afraid of had happened. Although he completed the trial, he had overlooked that Soulless wasn't so mindless treasure who would follow through the process mindlessly.
Like in the Soulless Ghost Ancestor's ssage, Soulless wasn't a re mindless artifact spirit but a being capable of reasoning.
Furthermore, with how the Divine Soulless Pagoda was hiding in such a terrifying place, Soulless would definitely be careful about whom to choose as its master, and Jacob was filled with secrets and terrifying ones at that.
But despite all that, Soulless still didn't directly kill Jacob, and with all the experience Jacob had with such beings, Jacob was sure that he was essential to Soulless after what he showed.
'This might be a carrot and stick tactic. He probably wants to scare into revealing my identity and then coerce to reward myself for doing his bidding. But if not, I would have to escape this place and think of another way to get my hands on this pagoda so other ti.
'But for now, I should play along and see what he wants and how he's planning on going forward with …'
Jacob instantly put a submission front and bowed towards the Artifact Spirit before he said, "I shouldn't have overestimated myself in front of you, and that was my mistake because of my ignorance. Lord Soulless is right; I do not belong to the Ghost Race and only robbed the Soulless Ghost King of his identity when he ca after with ill intent.
"However, it's also true that I didn't know anything about Soulmancers or Lord Soulless before eting you. I was just after the Ghost Race treasury and thought I could get it by completing your trial, but I've clearly been a fool from the beginning.
"As for who I am and why my soul totem is like this, I have no idea. My soul totem beca like this once I reached the Legendary Rank through the Path of Legend with the help of one of the legendary vestiges in the Path of Legend: the Legendary Vestige of Pisces!"
Soulless remained silent, but its force was entirely on Jacob.
After a while, it finally spoke, "So of your words make sense, but I can't believe you could form such a soul totem with a re legendary vestige from the Path of Legend. Although I admit those vestiges are sowhat special, nothing like your situation is recorded in any of the records I have."
Jacob's eyes compressed with a grimace as he thought it was impossible to fool this ancient treasure.
But then Soulless suddenly said sothing unexpected, "However, I greatly appreciate your talent. So, there is a way to earn my trust. If you agree, you can be the most terrifying person in the Upper Galaxies and beco my valid owner.
"However, if you disagree, I'll take it as you are my enemy who was trying to fool . So, tell , what it'll be?"
Jacob looked up towards Soulless, and although he didn't have skin if he had, he would have been grinning with utter derision!
