Chapter 637 Void Abyssal Devil

After Ace sat cross-legged under the broken mirror, the elderly voice rang, "Very good! Now, I'm going to start the imparting procedure, and you have endured no matter what. I have high expectations for you. Don't disappoint this King!"

There was a deep mirth and malice behind that voice, and for the first time, even Ace felt it, 'He's probably over the moon about this, but so am I!' Thought Ace.

At this moment, the crimson true soul suddenly started to tremble as the fiendish face on it started shimmering in a malicious aura. Ace instantly felt strange exhaustion, but it was only that, still, he followed the intent and pretended to be drowsy as he closed his eyes.

While the expanded black pillar around Ace suddenly started to move as it was wrapping around him like a shell. Soon Ace was nowhere to be seen, as only the black pillar was left.

"Hahahaha… how foolish, truly foolish…" The hoarse voice suddenly guffawed with excitement, "Of the race, the humans are easy to manipulate as long as they are greedy; no matter how much they had, they would always want more… well, this aligns with this King's liking."

His voice turned icy at this moment, "Go, little Regal, start the second phase of the Sin Rebirth Scripture!"

"Yes, master!" The tower spirit's eerie voice rang in elation before the broken mirror shook slightly, and the upper gray part of the corporeal pillar started to contort.

The other half pillar suddenly separated itself from the broken mirror as well as the other black pillar, which was now wrapping Ace within.

The next moment, the gray pillar suddenly started to take a humanoid form, and a three-meter transparent body manifested without any facial features; it was just like a gray mannequin.

It was the tower spirit's true form!

Its voice rang again, "I'll see you after you revive!"

Done saying, it turned into a gray streak and directly shot toward the dark pillar and vanished within.

At this moment, Ace, who was pretending to be spellbound, naturally heard everything but didn't show any reaction. He felt something cold suddenly touch his glabella before a piercing pain as if something was drilling right into his soul washed over him.

But it was only fleeting because before the tower spirit could penetrate his true soul, the fake crimson soul suddenly moved, and a crimson sheen suddenly surfaced over his glabella.

The Tower Spirit didn't notice anything and penetrated directly into the 'true soul,' and suddenly, a strange phenomenon took place in the true soul. The Tower Spirit was activating the soul segment!

The system's voice rang at this moment, "[The Tower Spirit has successfully entered the fake true soul!]"

Ace didn't show any reaction, but his heart beat faster as he knew he was one step closer to meeting 'her' again.

He could help but ask at this moment, "System, can you tell me if the transformation is complete and she's already awake, but somehow she can't break out of that cocoon, so she needs that mirror?"

Although he said that he would fully cooperate without asking anything in the moment of heat, now that he was calm, he couldn't help but become somewhat curious as well as doubtful.

Because he always paid attention to the cocoon and wondered when she'd awake because it's been over a decade. Yet she still showed no sign of awakening, so he could only wait patiently.

However, now that the system suggested it could have her absorb that broken mirror to wake her, he was curious about if her transformation had been complete or if it was something completely different. He didn't want to harm her just to wake her soon.

If it were anyone else other than the system who had told him about this, he would never risk such a thing interfering with her transformation. But the system was the one who put her in that state in the first place, so he knew it knew better than anyone.

The system unexpectedly answered emotionlessly, "[The Shadow Abyssal Devil transformation is 72% done, and it would take over a decade more for her to complete the transformation.]

"[Awakening such an extinct bloodline within a halfling is impossible no matter what or if she discovers the complete bloodline herself with some heavenly opportunity and then successfully awakens it.]

"[Without the host's investing in her, it would be impossible for the Halfling to have this chance, and the system also won't reveal this method if she hadn't already given her eternal loyalty to you.]

"[That's why System is willing to help you to further improve her bloodline by letting her absorb that broken mirror. The host would naturally have to spend more TP for this as well!]"

Ace's expressions were somewhat dark when he heard this and refuted, "First, her name is Eva; stop calling her Halfling, and second, she's not some servant who pledges her eternal loyalty to me or some business investment; SHE IS MY WIFE!

"And lastly, if you can use the TP to accelerate the transformation process, why didn't you tell me sooner?!"

He was feeling indignation now since this simply meant the system had the means to wake her, but it didn't tell him.

"[Host perhaps not understand clearly what the System just said. The Halfling didn't have even a trace of Shadow Abyssal Devil Bloodline, and without it was impossible to accelerate the process no matter how much Host has spent the TP.]

"[The approximate 10 to 30 years' time was already fast enough because of the Blood Rose, Living Thief's Space, and Thief Points. Of course, if the host has found something that can help her accelerate the process, the system would have informed you just like now!]"

Ace didn't have the words to refute it since the system made perfect sense. He was no longer that 12-year-old naïve kid anymore, and he knew just how mysterious the world of cultivation was, and he had only just grazed the small tip iceberg.

Still, he was indignant because the system was still calling Eva 'Halfling' despite his reproach and taking him as wind.

"Alright, I was wrong; now, can you please stop calling her Halfling? And as you just said, that mirror can help her awake and fast and even improve her bloodline further?" Ace's tone was mild, and he requested this time. He knew the system really wouldn't give in to his outburst.

"[Naturally, the broken mirror is made with the Void Abyssal Devil's Third Eye as a foundation, and the Void Abyssal Devil is even more powerful existence than the Shadow Abyssal Devil, not to mention almost mythical in comparison.]

"[Not only that mirror can help her complete her transformation, it might even help her awake the trace of Void Abyssal Devil's bloodline and she might have a chance to evolve into Void Abyssal Devil if she joins the Thief House!]"
