Li Yuan said, "Blood mutation."
The Wolf Mother was taken aback for a mont, then replied, "Yes.
All the Yang Qi in the world cos from the sun.
The more the life is exposed to sunlight, the more severe the blood mutation, but at the sa ti... they will also be shorter-lived.
And this... should also include you, Barbarian King."
Li Yuan looked surprised, "You an... I won’t live long either?"
The Wolf Mother nodded, "You were originally a strong one from the outside, possessing a lifespan far longer than ordinary people, but the fire... while it makes you powerful, it also shortens your lifespan."
Li Yuan felt a bit tense, quickly glancing at the panel in front of him.
[Divine Techniques: Immortality]
Immortality: Unlimited lifespan, maintaining the current appearance, will never die of old age.
He silently breathed a sigh of relief, but imdiately his gaze dimd, "This is truly a saddening matter.
However... as a man born between heaven and earth, if I cannot live as splendidly as the sun, what is the point?!"
He clenched his fist, his whole being seed to shine like the sun.
The Wolf Mother suddenly looked up, blinking at the Barbarian King in front of her.
In her impression, the Barbarian King didn’t seem like this...
But learning that his lifespan was reduced, he could still utter such inspiring, heroic words.
The Wolf Mother was quite surprised.
And at this mont, she suddenly shivered, as if a profound and abyssal aura flashed through her eyes.
Her voice beca indifferent...
"Since you know the cause and effect, whether or not to have offspring is your decision, as long as it doesn’t affect the Divine Tomb it’s fine.
And in return, when you are dying, the Divine Tomb will have a coffin reserved for you.
Not only because of your achievents but also because you are very special.
You... are the world’s first to beco the fire.
The new world needs you."
Li Yuan was montarily speechless; at this mont, he could feel the Wolf Mother in front of him beco another presence, terrifying, unfathomable.
His mind worked rapidly, seizing the opportunity to show a shocked expression, "You... you are?"
The Wolf Mother looked at him calmly.
Li Yuan showed a sudden realization, then bowed, appearing ecstatic, followed by sincere and respectful words: "Yuan, truly fortunate indeed."
The Wolf Mother seed to appreciate his reaction, also liked his insight, nodded satisfactorily, and said, "You may call the Tomb Guardian."
As the words fell, the chilling aura around the Wolf Mother quickly dissipated, as if she floated from the deep sea to the surface, even rubbing her forehead, looking at Li Yuan, "It seems the Divine Spirit has spoken to you directly."
Li Yuan nodded, thoughtfully; he truly didn’t expect there to be a "third presence" within the Wolf Mother: the bewitched girl, the incomplete Jade Remains, and... the Tomb Guardian.
The Wolf Mother said, "Being able to hear the promises and gospel of the Divine Spirit is your blessing."
Li Yuan said, "When I lie in the coffin, will I also beco your Divine Spirit?"
The Wolf Mother paused, "It should... be so."
Li Yuan said, "I heard so Clan Leaders say that you Wolf Mothers have so books hidden away, fetch them for to see."
The Wolf Mother hesitated, "Alright..."
...
...
The Wolf Mother’s collection of books recorded so historical truths of the Ice Barbarians.
For instance, the once incredibly powerful Ice Barbarian Saint King was actually born from two powerful Clan Leaders, but afterward... no equally powerful being was born; it was evidently a coincidence.
For instance, the Ice Barbarian Saint King lived only to the age of thirty-five before dying.
As for the labyrinth deep within the Immortal Tomb, it is rely a lie.
That labyrinth, and those towering pillars in the Ice Crystal Garden existed before the Ice Barbarians, not built by the Saint King.
As for the lies like "the labyrinth is to confuse the devil" were spread by the Wolf Mother and the Saint King together.
But the Saint King and the Barbarian King are different.
The Saint King was rely a powerful, short-lived individual.
Whereas the "Barbarian King" Zhenyan Yuan is a powerful being whose Body is Fire, a "mother" that can produce many individuals like the "Saint King."
Moreover, Zhenyan Yuan’s reaction upon learning of his short lifespan seed to impress the Divine Spirit with his temperant, which is why he was granted a coffin, to sleep in it upon death, waiting for the new world’s arrival.
Li Yuan pondered, contemplating.
He asked the Wolf Mother so questions.
The Wolf Mother, perhaps receiving so instructions, was very forthcoming to him at this ti.
This allowed Li Yuan to further understand Yang Qi.
If the characteristics of Ghost Servants ford by Yin Qi are: dead, mutated Soul, dominated by ghosts, invincible with Yin Qi, lacking true self-awareness...
Then the characteristics of Barbarians ford by Yang Qi are: living, mutated blood and flesh, not dominated, life shortens with more Yang Qi, existing with complete self-awareness.
And this precisely aligns with the characteristics of Yin Qi and Yang Qi,
Yin Qi, heavy and condensed, governs the Divine Soul.
Yang Qi, light and dispersed, governs the flesh.
In this process of communication and probing, Li Yuan would occasionally express a wish to et the Divine Spirit, realizing that the so-called Divine Spirit could only barely control the Wolf Mother, unable to appear as it wished.
This allowed Li Yuan to sowhat sigh with relief, while also feeling a "desire to move again."
Yet moving again, how difficult it is?
This world is neither small nor excessively large, Cloud Mountain Path is already the safest path known to Li Yuan.
And this Western Pole Permafrost is a place where one can almost avoid all chaos.
Though there are a bunch of so-called sleeping Divine Spirits here, Li Yuan can only endure it with resignation.
