You Siqi was indeed a novelist; no matter how fantastical the situation, he dared to imagine it.
Listening to his words, Liu Buli pressed his forehead hard with his hand. Only when his mind had calmed down a little did he speak, "But if it's according to your theory, wouldn't he choose the second method? For example, making Lu Wuming's spirit unable to protect his own body, this..."
"That might work for others, but for Lu Wuming, that situation will absolutely not occur, so you don't need to worry about it at all."
You Siqi seemed to have guessed what he was about to say and, before Liu Buli could finish, he responded proactively, "What does it mean for a soul to be unable to control its own body? To put it more bluntly, it means bringing someone to the brink of death. For example, why can you possess Liu Buli's body? It's not because he agreed, nor because the previous soul has disappeared. You should have some recollection of what this body was doing before you transmigrated, what foolish things the previous Liu Buli did. If you recall carefully now, in that memory, didn't that Liu Buli accidentally almost kill himself?"
Hearing his question, Liu Buli also recalled the previous situation seriously for the first time. He then looked at You Siqi with a rare, indescribable admiration in his eyes and nodded vigorously, saying, "That's right. Before I transmigrated into this world, that Liu Buli refined an immortal elixir for himself. He thought that thing could make him ascend in one step, and indeed, it almost made him ascend, but it was in the sense of his soul ascending to heaven."
In truth, the previous soul of his body, if you called him a bad person, he was more like a scientist who would stop at nothing for his research.
All his actions towards Lu Wuming were solely for his own research.
Just as he would unhesitatingly consume that damned immortal elixir he made, he valued the results of his research greatly. He believed it was his everything, and he never thought there was any problem with a slight deviation on the path of research.
But it was precisely because of this one deviation that his soul almost lost its connection with his body.
And it was at this very moment that Liu Buli's soul entered, seizing the position that originally belonged to him.
Hearing Liu Buli's answer, the light in You Siqi's eyes became even more resolute. He said, "See, it's just as I said. Because he almost killed himself, his soul and body separated at that time, creating a gap that other souls could exploit. But think about it, for Lu Wuming, there is no such thing as death. Even if Shen Muzhi killed him in his past life, he was reborn before he was killed. So who can say that chopping him to pieces and burning him would truly kill him? Moreover, if that could kill him, he wouldn't have been able to regain his human form, and his body would naturally have lost its value. But other methods couldn't harm his life at all, so how could there be any gap between his soul and body?"
You Siqi's lengthy explanation this time was quite direct, and Liu Buli thought about it, feeling that he had understood.
In short, to put it simply, if the Ghost King's ultimate goal was indeed Lu Wuming's body, then the only method he could employ was to have a good discussion with Lu Wuming.
Before undertaking these actions, the Ghost King had likely already thoroughly investigated Lu Wuming's past life experiences. He knew Lu Wuming was a child starved of love and understood why the other party placed Liu Buli in such an absolutely special position. Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to try his best to emulate Liu Buli and make Lu Wuming feel his fatherly love. If he could move Lu Wuming's heart, then no matter what demands he made afterward, this foolish child would absolutely not refuse.
After all, everyone knew that if it were Liu Buli, let alone asking for a dual soul in one body, even directly asking Lu Wuming to chop himself up and burn him to death, Lu Wuming would absolutely not refuse.
And the reason for his compliance was simple.
It was merely because the other party was Liu Buli, the existence he absolutely could not refuse.
As everyone pondered this matter, they once again fell into silence.
You Siqi had this kind of ability.
If someone else said these words, even if others heard them, they would most likely dismiss them with a laugh and not take them to heart.
But it was You Siqi who said these words.
And precisely because of this, they had to seriously consider that this matter might indeed be possible.
The silence lasted for a moment, and Shen Muzhi asked, "But I don't quite understand, why must that person be Lu Wuming? Doesn't the Ghost King have other children among the ghost clan? If it's about blood relation, making it easier to possess, then by directly applying the second method to other children, wouldn't he have already possessed a body of his own? The matter of dual souls in one body is not secure enough. Just like Liu Buli's current situation, with two souls squeezed into one body, the result will surely be that neither can live in peace."
"What you say is true, but you have already seen the best option, would you still want the average one?" You Siqi shook his head and said, "It must be that during the process of searching for those children, the Ghost King discovered Lu Wuming's existence. A perfect immortal body, with a continuous and unimaginably powerful source of demonic energy within. It's strange if the Ghost King wouldn't want such an existence. As for the issue of dual souls in one body, it's also easy to solve. Once he enters that body, can't he find a way to deal with the original host? We have ways to do this, do you think he wouldn't come up with ideas?"
