Chapter 348: The Secrets of Gongxing, the Place of the End
"Is it possible that the laws changed, and those lending companies went bankrupt?" The Canary pondered seriously.
No matter the topic, she could always keep up with Qi Yuan's train of thought.
Qi Yuan nodded in agreement: "You have a point, so... whether it's fortune or misfortune, it's not my doing, maybe it's just fate."
"So, whatever you do, it won't be wrong." The Canary's beautiful eyes seemed to sparkle with stars.
"You too." Qi Yuan was also good at being a repeater.
He opened up other chat apps.
There were all sorts of useless messages, as well as some holiday greetings from acquaintances.
Among them, a former classmate had sent a message seven months ago: "Are you there? I'm a bit short on cash, old friend."
Then, after a day's gap, late at night, the same person sent another message.
"You’re really so realistic, I didn’t really mean to borrow, just wanted to reconnect with an old classmate, just asking..."
Then, there was a long, dramatic message.
And then, seven days later, another late-night message arrived.
"In urgent need, short on funds for a bit. For the sake of our years of friendship, could you lend me some money, not much, just thirty thousand!"
Seeing these messages, Qi Yuan was speechless.
"What on earth is this?"
He grumbled a bit, then directly blocked and deleted this classmate.
He continued scrolling through his social media apps.
Suddenly, a private message caught his attention.
"Canary, do you think this person has a crush on me?"
Qi Yuan showed the phone to the Canary.
The Canary’s drowsy eyes suddenly widened, her earlier sleepiness replaced by excitement: "Let me see, I’ll help you judge!"
On Qi Yuan's phone, there was a private message.
The message was received on the day Qi Yuan had registered his marriage with the Canary and Xiao Jia.
"No wonder everyone loves cultivating immortality; who could refuse this feeling?"
That night, Qi Yuan held the Canary close and officially stepped into the Nascent Soul stage.
...
Two days later, Qi Yuan opened his eyes, a look of joy in them.
"All the Nascent Souls... have finally appeared."
At this moment, he looked inward at his own body, where over four thousand Nascent Souls had formed.
These Nascent Souls were all condensed in the Mortal Heart Realm.
"Unfortunately, this game body of mine is too weak to fully harness the power of these Nascent Souls."
Qi Yuan had long realized that his in-game self was akin to his "soul."
To put it in simpler terms, it was his soul.
But this "soul" was somewhat different, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
And each time he entered a new world, it was always very weak.
So, Qi Yuan only referred to it as his spirit.
The Nascent Soul was different from the Stellar Golden Core.
The Stellar Golden Core was suspended in the universe, and as long as there was enough spiritual energy in the body, its projection could be sent out at any time.
The Nascent Soul was different.
Its power was too overwhelming.
If he sent it out, his "spirit" wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
So, these Nascent Souls currently couldn’t be converted into his combat power in this world.
However...
Qi Yuan’s eyes deepened with thought: "This world is truly a large-scale breeding ground for gods and demons!"
Previously, with Uqi, and later with the Ajie siblings found in the Wugui Nation, both had special bloodlines. Qi Yuan could send out his Nascent Souls, in the form of grandpa and grandma spirits, to inhabit their bodies.
As they grew stronger, Qi Yuan’s Nascent Souls would gradually fully awaken, eventually restoring to their original state, and even advancing further.
