Dyon smiled, seemingly seeing through Lilith's thoughts.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"I don't think it would ever be possible for me to do that. Well... It would be possible, but... Watch this."

Dyon's soul qi surged. In the next moments, Lilith witnessed a scene that made her uncontrollably pale in horror.

Very quickly, Dyon's soul qi began to wrap in on itself, forming complex inner workings several levels more complex than Lilith had ever seen before. But, moments later, those runes quickly became bone, then flesh, then a layer of skin, then thick fur.

In just a few moments, an adorable little mouse appeared. It sat on the steel-like tables with its eyes closed as though taking a lovely little nap. But, very quickly, as soon as it lost the support of Dyon's soul qi, it began to grow old and whither away.

Its lush black fur quickly turned grey and began to shed. Its lively pink skin turned a grotesque pale shade of green and grew wrinkled. And then, as though that wasn't enough, it collapsed into a pile of ash as though it had combusted from the inside out.

Lilith paled beside herself. It wasn't that the sight was too disgusting. If compared to the void beast remains in this very room, it was several levels better. However, she subconsciously felt that she had just witnessed something horrible, too horrible to even be put into words.

It wasn't until she caught Dyon's haggard breathing coming from beside her that she snapped out of it, turning to him with a worried look on her expression. She turned just in time to see the last flickers of Dyon's burning soul.

The small wisps of illusory white flames danced across his skin one last time before vanishing.

Dyon smiled lightly as Lilith's exaggerated worry. She even went so far as to dab the sweat on his brow away. He was just a little tired, it wasn't as though he was dying.

"This is the truth." Dyon said after he caught his breath. "Constructing a body of flesh and blood isn't impossible, it's just that the requirements are several times more stringent."

Dyon grabbed at air, causing a blackened soul to appear in his palm. It was the soul of the jellyfish void beast.

"This soul is incredibly simple. So simple in fact that even if the mouse I created earlier had a soul itself, it would be several levels more complex than this."

"You mean that you can recreate it due to its simplicity."

Dyon smiled bitterly. "No, even though this is the simplest soul I've ever observed in my life, it's still impossible for me to reconstruct even a fraction of it. I can't even begin to see how I would start. It's too tall a mountain to climb."

"Oh..." Lilith was a bit disappointed. "... Then why were you so excited, were you just messing with me?"

Lilith pouted, looking like a little girl throwing a tantrum. Well, if that little girl was a blood boiling and enticing beauty with flowing white hair.

"You're burying the lead." Dyon said with a smile. "This soul is so incredibly simple, yet it can still allow a void beast to count as a life form, a life form that even exists outside the control of the Heavens. What do you think that means?"

Lilith's eyes widened. She might not have been very interested in such things, but she was still more intelligent than most people. How could she not tell what Dyon meant by now?

"You mean that there's something special about the body of void beasts that allows them to function with this somewhat generic soul."

"Bingo." Dyon said with a smile. "There's something about their bodies that has lowered the requirements of a soul. How else could such a powerful being have a less complex soul than even a mortal mouse?"

"Bingo?" Lilith blinked in confusion.
