Lin Yun had a strange smile on his face as he blocked Max's path.
"Where do you want to go? Have you thought it through? Can we talk now? "
Lin Yun stopped Max and instructed Sean, who was already terrified.
"Lord Sean, pass my words to it using the language of the soul. I believe it should be able to understand."
Sean was instantly dumbfounded.
"It? You mean that terrifying monster? It can understand? That crazy guy is just a beast. It doesn't have any intelligence at all … Intelligence … Damn it, are you saying that this monster has intelligence? "
"Cut the crap and translate my words. The language of the soul doesn't discriminate between races. It's the purest expression of consciousness. As a soul, it's an instinct. Don't tell me you don't know it."
Lin Yun interrupted Sean. Sean's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with shock. However, he still listened to Lin Yun's instructions and translated Max's words.
In an instant, Max, who was casting spells crazily, paused for a moment, and then continued to attack.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Lin Yun 'lips.
Previously, Lin Yun had already had a few flashes of inspiration, but he didn't have the time to think about it carefully. It was only after the battle started, especially after fighting with Max for a while that Lin Yun captured the inspiration that he hadn't thought of before.
That was, this monster wasn't like what was recorded at all. It was just a low-level beast that only had instincts!
Because of the first impression, he had always treated this monster as a brainless monster that only had instincts. Using this as a basis to think about other things was starting from a wrong foundation. In that case, everything would be wrong, and everything would deviate from the truth.
The truth was that this monster had its own intelligence. That massive magical crystal and soul were not pure accumulation of soul power at all. Instead, they had reached a qualitative change and derived intelligence.
This guy was a true intelligent lifeform, the only intelligent lifeform in this plane. That was why it allowed the plane to develop on its own, and when it developed enough lifeforms, it would tear their souls apart and devour them. Then, it would fall into a deep sleep, waiting for the next time it woke up and the next time it would eat.
The only detailed historical records of this plane were recorded more than a thousand years after it was discovered. There were no detailed records of what happened in the past thousand years.
And when it was recorded in detail, this monster had no intelligence. There was only one possibility.
Originally, this guy's soul had reached a qualitative change, but the intelligence it gave birth to wasn't very powerful. It was even inferior to ordinary humans. It was at this critical moment that it was discovered by the humans.
Then, after thousands of years of war and struggle, its huge but uncondensed soul began to decline. Its intelligence dissipated, and it became a monster that only had instincts.
So, at that time, there was no other way to eliminate this monster other than to completely destroy this plane. If they wanted to develop the plane, the only way was to not awaken the monster.
That was how things developed for a long time …
If this monster was just a crazy monster that only had instincts, then they could only give up on this plane. After expending so much effort, all they would get in the end was to destroy all the living beings in this plane that the monster could control. After a one-time harvest, they would leave completely and wait for the monster to fall asleep again before they could do it again.
But now, as long as it had intelligence, it would be possible to negotiate. With intelligence, it would also have rationality and a lot of weaknesses …
Lin Yun smiled as he dodged Max's crazy attacks. In the sky, the Hand of Destruction had already been charged to 50% of its limit. That kind of power was full of destruction. Just the fluctuations caused terrifying dark clouds to form in the sky. These dark clouds turned into a vortex that revolved around the Hand of Destruction.
The monster seemed impatient. Max's body emitted a glaring crystal light and over a thousand crystal balls appeared near Lin Yun. At the same time, the surrounding space started pressuring him, making him unable to escape. He could only wait to be torn apart by the Magic Penetration Crystal Spikes bursting out of the crystal balls.
The Natural Demiplane's shadow appeared above Lin Yun's head and Law Power sprinkled down. The Law Power of the Natural Demiplane and the Sky Pillar's Law Power raged as if it wanted to create a new space around Lin Yun's body. Spatial power surged and forcibly pushed away the oppressive spatial power.
Lin Yun casually took a step and escaped the range of those Magic Penetration Crystal Spikes.
Lin Yun turned to look at Max with a mocking expression.
If the projection of the Natural Demiplane was used as a passive defense, it could even pass through Agalon's altered Spatial Law, let alone this kind of simple application of space.
Although the power used was massive, the true understanding of the Space Rules was so crude that it wasn't worth mentioning at all. That kind of power was only possible because this plane itself was derived from the monster and could be considered a part of its body. However, this was just an instinct, and there was no research on the Space Rules at all.
Breaking this kind of seal didn't require much power, it was only related to the comprehension of the Spatial Law.
After Lin Yun easily dodged, gloomy and gloomy power burst out of the Hand of Destruction's muzzle and a thick gray pillar of light fell from the sky.
The thousand-meter-thick gray light pillar fiercely hit the ground in the plane's center. The earth trembled in an instant, and the surrounding space shattered. Everything that was hit by the light pillar was annihilated. Soil, Mana Crystals, crystallized magic beasts, rocks …
Everything that was hit by the beam of light was constantly annihilated. Gravity seemed to have disappeared around the beam of light. The flow of the river of time seemed to have slowed down. Dust, gravel, wreckage, everything slowly floated up.
As for that pillar of light, it rapidly penetrated the depths of the earth and kept being annihilated. In a mere three seconds, the pillar of light had already reached a distance of two to three kilometers.
At this time, the entire plane started shaking. The earth was shaking, everything seemed to be shaking. Those crystallized magic beasts also stopped moving and the plane seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
After a dozen seconds, the gray pillar of light dissipated, but the earth didn't stop shaking.
Lin Yun looked at Max, who had stopped fighting, and sneered.
"It seems that the direction of the attack isn't right, it didn't hit your mana crystal and soul. Oh, I remembered wrong, your mana crystal and soul aren't in the center of the plane, they're in a place slightly away from the center …
Lord Sean, translate for him. "
Shawn quickly translated Lin Yun's words, and after three seconds, a trace of surprise appeared on Shawn's face as he turned to look at Lin Yun.
"Lord Merlin, this guy really does have wisdom. He said, 'Powerful existence, don't hurt him anymore. What do you want to talk about?'"
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes as countless thoughts flashed through his mind. In one sentence, Lin Yun was completely sure that this monster's wisdom hadn't been born for a long time, it was at most at the level of an ordinary person, and a relatively simple one at that …
"I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to help you. I'm just showing you my ability to destroy you. As long as I destroy this plane and your body, your mana crystal and soul will be completely defenseless, and destroying your soul will be very easy.
"But it wasn't easy for you to gain wisdom, and I can't bear to see you walk on the wrong path. I'm here to help you. The method you're using to become stronger is completely wrong. In the end, your wisdom will disappear, and you will no longer be able to become stronger. You will only be able to remain in your current state forever."
Lin Yun patiently expressed his goodwill, and the monster replied after a few seconds.
"Powerful existence, as long as you don't hurt me, you can have anything you want."
Lin Yun immediately shook his head.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I'm only here to help you, I don't need you to pay any price. This is called benevolence, understand? "Intelligent lifeforms should understand the meaning of benevolence.
"It's probably because I'm more powerful than you, but I'm unwilling to hurt you. I want to protect you and not let you get hurt.
"If you want to have more wisdom, you have to understand benevolence first. My wisdom is higher than yours, so I'm benevolent enough to help you."
Shawn stood on Lin Yun 'shoulder, his mouth wide open as he looked at Lin Yun in horror.
'Damnit, Mafa Merlin is actually swindling people with such sincerity. Damn, I almost believed him. That stupid monster, that naive guy, might have been fooled by Mafa Merlin …
After saying that, Lin Yun seemed to think of something and immediately landed on the ground. He then took out a large number of alchemy devices and started refining a potion. He even spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with a wisp of soul power.
After a series of complicated refining steps, a potion emitting strange fluctuations appeared.
Max's body floated down and calmly looked at Lin Yun 'actions, not reacting. As for Shawn, he couldn't bear to watch and used his claws to cover his eyes, a pained expression on his face.
'Damnit, that Merlin is too much of a bully, he is actually refining this kind of potion in front of that guy, adding his own blood and soul power, and he doesn't even need to worry about that monster noticing anything …
'It's over, it's over, that monster has been tricked by Merlin. If that monster dares to touch that potion's soul, as long as three hundred bottles … No, even a hundred bottles wouldn't be enough. That monster's soul would be no different from signing a Soul Contract with Merlin.
'Moreover, Merlin refined it in front of me, adding his own blood and soul power without concealing it. This is bullying the illiterate …
"This is the product of wisdom. Your soul is too big, and although it's big, there are too many impurities. That is the fundamental reason restricting your ability to increase your wisdom. You can try touching this potion with your soul, and your soul will be tempered and the impurities will be expelled.
"Try it yourself and you'll know. Trust me, this is my benevolence helping you."
Lin Yun had a kind smile on his face. This was true, the effect of the potion was indeed like that. It was just that there was something added to it. After the monster's soul was tempered, it meant that the soul would be restructured, and this composition would be merged with Lin Yun's blood and soul power. As long as it reached a certain degree, the effect would be even more perfect than signing a Soul Contract.
In the distance, Xiuban, Reina, the mage army, and Hughes were all dumbfounded as they foolishly looked at Lin Yun, completely stunned.
"Sir Merlin is so shameless, so treacherous, so shameless …"
Xiuban foolishly looked at Lin Yun, mumbling to himself. He was so startled that he could only use a string of adjectives.
Lin Yun didn't care about what others thought. Moreover, even if someone said something, that monster might not necessarily understand, and even if it understood, it definitely wouldn't understand the meaning.
That monster had just awakened wisdom not long ago and simply didn't understand anything. It only had instincts, and even after gaining wisdom, it still acted according to its instincts. The souls that the monster had devoured didn't obtain anything. If it devoured the souls of some mages, it wouldn't be so simple and frightening.
Unfortunately, this plane had only been discovered for the first time. Before this, no intelligent creature had discovered this plane. When the Mages who came here died, this monster had yet to awaken. After awakening, it finally had the chance to devour a Mage's soul. Unfortunately, Sunny's soul had long been contaminated by the power of Hell. It could only be torn apart and refined into the most basic soul power to devour, just like those screaming ghosts.
The Crown of Thorns was controlled by the Bloodline Transplant, but they were only controlled, their souls were still sealed within their bodies. The only one that was killed was Shelton, whose soul had been torn apart by the Second Berserk Xiuban. Not a single strand of hair was left behind, and the monster couldn't bring Shelton's soul back to the underground to devour.
Facing a monster that only had instincts, Lin Yun had no other choice. He didn't want to destroy this place, and he couldn't control it, so he could only give up.
Facing a creature with intelligence, it was still possible to negotiate. However, the one in front of him was an illiterate fellow with intelligence. He was simply waiting to be tricked. If he did not trick this terrifying monster that only knew how to act based on instinct, he would not only be letting down this big monster, but he would also be letting down this big monster …
"I have the power to destroy you, but I didn't do so. I only came to help you. If I wanted to destroy you, you would have already disappeared.
I can wait for you here. You can take this bottle of potion and try it. Your soul is very big anyway, so it doesn't matter even if it's a little bit injured. After you try it, you'll know that what I said is right.
"Naturally, it will be very painful to temper the soul, but as an intelligent lifeform, a little pain shouldn't be much in order to obtain greater wisdom."
Lin Yun didn't want to destroy that monster at all, and he really wanted that monster to become stronger and more intelligent. Everything came from his heart. Even if the monster had instincts, it would only believe what Lin Yun said …
The monster remained silent for a few minutes, as if thinking about these very complicated issues. After a few minutes, a stone worm drilled out of the ground, its mouth full of sharp teeth facing Lin Yun. Lin Yun didn't care and put the potion in the stone worm's mouth.
The stone worm drilled back into the ground and disappeared. It followed the rocks and went straight towards the huge mana crystal of the monster.
After more than an hour, the stone worm arrived at the spherical space. It opened its mouth and spat out the potion that Lin Yun had refined. The potion slowly floated towards the huge mana crystal. Inside the mana crystal, an illusory eyeball was floating, emitting wisps of mist-like soul power.
This power slowly extended out of the huge mana crystal, and then the potion bottle was crushed. The potion inside was sprinkled on the surface of the huge mana crystal, and the power of the potion started seeping into the mana crystal through the tentacles extending from the monster's soul.
In a split second, the monster's soul started letting out painful screams. Those mist-like tentacles seemed to be forcibly torn apart by some power, and at least a dozen meters of souls were torn apart. Then, these torn souls rapidly reformed under the influence of the potion. A large amount of impurities were extracted, and then expelled by the power of the mana crystal.
The monster didn't seem to have suffered this kind of damage to its soul, and simply didn't know what was going on. Its anger rose, and the power of the mana crystal burst out, causing the entire plane to shake.
However, after a few seconds, the monster's torn soul began to slowly reconstruct itself. The potion's power permeated the entire soul, and the monster's rage dissipated. It seemed that within a few seconds, it understood the meaning of pain, and its intelligence increased significantly.
The tall and terrifying soul had clearly shrunk a bit, but the monster suddenly understood that this thing called potion really had great benefits for it. It instantly understood what Lin Yun had said before.
Pain was inevitable, and then it would bring greater power and greater intelligence. The latter was the most important, at least it could understand what pain was now …
The originally tall but illusory soul slowly became a bit more solid, and even the appearance of the soul changed a bit. The soul power around the huge eyeball had already condensed into a second eyeball.
The monster was wild with joy after obtaining such a great benefit. The instinct of an intelligent creature was to understand anger, to understand happiness, to understand how to think and choose, and to communicate …
A person who had the power to destroy it, but didn't destroy it, and instead helped it obtain greater intelligence and a stronger soul, was naturally trustworthy …
It seemed to understand what the word 'trust' meant …
