Chapter 1850 The Decision

Alex's suggestion for what could be done with Pearl's father's corpse was simple and even quite beneficial for Alex himself and the others. And yet at the same time, it was as though he was trying to take advantage of the Azure Dragon's death.

The two conflicting feelings made it hard for Alex to even suggest this option to Pearl, to begin with, but after hearing that he did not wish to bury his father, he decided to ask Pearl.

Pearl gave a lot of thought to what Alex proposed, not getting angry at him for suggesting what he did. Instead, he decided calm-headedly that maybe that would be the proper thing to do.

In a way, if he were to do this, his father could forever be close to him when he needed him.

With Pearl deciding to do it, Alex gained the confidence to do what had been decided.

So, he began his preparation.

He was now going to feed the Immortal body of the Azure Dragon to the World Tree.

Alex had fed multiple things to the two great plants in his Soul Space by now. Both the World Tree sapling and the Nine Yang Divine tree had fed on plenty of saint human and beast corpses that Alex had gained either in his fight in the ocean or from the war.

They had helped the two plants grow plenty big with the Nine Yang Divine tree almost as tall as him above the root, and the World Tree nearly 10 meters tall even when just a sapling.

Even the Dragon Emperor's corpse had been fed to the World Tree. However, it hadn't given as much result as Alex would've hoped for it to.

He had a feeling that whatever Bai Jingshen had done to take away the Dragon Emperor's 'spirit' had drained the body of a lot of its original energy.

So, the only thing he had left to feed the World Tree that was of any value to it now was the Azure Dragon's body.

Pearl remained inside the Soul Space to watch everything that was going to happen. With the amount of Qi he had in his body, he could survive there for a week or so without any problem, so long as he didn't expend too much energy.

There were 2 tasks that Alex needed to complete before he could feed the Azure Dragon's corpse to the plants.

First, he had to take the Beast Core out. The Azure Dragon's core was still inside his corpse, so before that was fed to the World Tree, it had to be taken out.

Instead, Alex decided to use something else. Something that was in a way much weaker than Midnight, but in some other way, much much stronger.

Alex took the slim sword he owned and sent it close to the Dragon's corpse. This sword was the same sword that he could not use his Qi through, the same one that had been used to trap Godslayer before he had taken over Alex.

The sword was incomprehensibly strong and inconceivably sharp, a treasure that Alex simply did not know what to do with. If it ever accepted Qi, there was a chance he would have never even created Midnight.

But since it did not, it was in a weird state where it was extremely powerful, but also had very few use cases.

Alex used the sword and sent it flying into the Azure Dragon's corpse, successfully piercing the tough scales.

'Finally,' Alex thought and made a larger incision around where he pierced it, large enough that he could now use the sword to pluck out the beast's core from inside.

The beast core that came out was slightly larger than regular beast cores, but not by much.

As it flew out, Alex could finally control it much easier than when it was inside the corpse.

The beast core flew toward Pearl, letting him hold on to it for the moment.

Pearl took the beast core and moved aside. "I will get to meet Father through this, right?" he asked.

"Of course," Alex replied. "As soon as I have enough strength, we should be able to do it."

Pearl nodded with a sad smile.

Alex felt Pearl's sadness through the bond but didn't let it affect him. There was much more to do right now.

He looked toward the Azure Dragon's chest next, feeling a bubble of space inside there without even having to sense it with his spiritual sense.

That was the Azure Dragon's Soul Space, the thing that the Dragon Emperor had fought for.

"Let us see what it was that the Dragon Emperor died for."
