Spirit Realm Chapter 1776

After Lieyan Yuan was gone, his subordinates and his vassals such as the Three-Eyed Race also left God Realm.

The five God Race patriarchs immediately summoned all elders to the Temple of Gods.

They were quickly informed of Lieyan Yuan’s willing surrender of the God King’s throne and his return to the Nine Lights Realm.

Every elder was making their way to the Temple of Gods.

“Just keep everything as usual. Right now I’m neither qualified nor interested in occupying that seat.”

After learning of the elders’ stances through his own ways, Qin Lie secretly revealed his thoughts to the five patriarchs inside the hall.

He knew that the elders of the God Race weren’t united from the start.

This was especially true regarding the choice to elect him as the God King or not.

There were two reasons he had come to the Temple of Gods. One was to deal with Lieyan Yuan, and two was to repay the great favor he owed the patriarchs.

The God King’s throne didn’t interest him one bit. He didn’t think that becoming a God King would benefit him in anyway.

Right now he was the Devil Monarch of Flaming Sun Purgatory, and Ling Yushi had merged with the Geocentric Motherlode of Spirit Realm. Her rise to power was literally unstoppable at this point.

Considering that the Winged Race, the Bone Race, the Star Moon Race, and the Multihand Race were extending olive branches at his direction of their own accord, he was sure that he would become one of the most powerful forces with his own corner of the universe even without the God Race!

Both his and Spirit Realm’s importance would only grow bigger and bigger as the shadow beings continued to invade the galaxy.

This meant that he was growing less and less reliant on the God Race.

Naturally, the God King’s throne wasn’t important to him. It was nothing more but a title he didn’t need.

“That’s wise,” Kuang Jue of the Bloodthirst Family let out an obvious sigh of relief when he saw the reluctance on Qin Lie’s face. “A lot of the elders are unfamiliar with you. Even the Blaze Family that used to support you is…”

He was looking at Lieyan Zhao when he said the latter half of his sentence. The Blaze Family patriarch currently wore an ugly look on his face. Kuang Jue continued, “Everything’s clear now. Lieyan Yuan has never lost control of the Blaze Family.”

“Hmph!” Lieyan Zhao growled.

“Facts are facts.” Kuang Jue clearly wasn’t going to mince his words. “Most of the Blaze Family members who supported Qin Lie and wished for his return were in fact supporters of Lieyan Yuan!”

“For now, keeping things the way they are is good,” Yu Xi said in agreement.

Qin Lie nodded slightly in response.

He noticed that Kuang Jue and Yu Xi weren’t overly close to him a long while ago.

“Patriarch!”

A dark figure suddenly flew in from outside the Temple of Gods and knelt on one knee next to An Hao. Head bowed, he said, “I just received news that Thamur… has become the new patriarch of the Soul Race!”

“What?” An Hao exclaimed in shock.

“Thamur?!” Qin Lie was stunned as well.

He knew Thamur almost too well. Thamur was his main rival since all the way back at the Origin World.

The only reason he was able to defeat Thamur was because of his Flesh Filling Tombstone and Perfect Blood.

Later on, he learned that the Thamur in the Origin World was just a subsoul.

Not long ago, he also discovered that Thamur and Castor were in cahoots. If it wasn’t for his intervention, Thamur would’ve driven the Bone Race back to Castor’s employment.

Thamur had cowed under his power and slipped away then. He hadn’t heard of him until now.

Until just now, he thought that Thamur was just a small fry in the Soul Race. He thought that he had nothing to fear from him.

However, the small fry had suddenly become the Soul Race’s new patriarch.

He was incredulous to say the least.

“Thamur?” Lieyan Zhao replied after his shock had subsided. “He shouldn’t be strong enough to become the patriarch. It wasn’t like he was famous either. How did he become the Soul Race’s new patriarch? Also, wasn’t the Imperial Soul Monarch the patriarch of the Soul Race? Even if the Imperial Soul Monarch has slumbered for a million years, no one should be able to dethrone him. Also, who in the universe would dare taunt the Imperial Soul Monarch like this? Has that Thamur gotten insane?”

“Thamur…” An Hao’s expression changed rapidly.

He pondered for a moment before saying to Qin Lie and Lieyan Zhao, “The Darkness Family has been paying close attention to Thamur recently. We discovered that he was no ordinary person.”

“He’s not as weak as you think him to be.”

“According to our knowledge, all the Thamurs we’ve come into contact with thus far were just his subsouls.”

“The identity of his True Soul is very well hidden. He seems to be a rank ten Soul Race expert.”

“I even heard a rumor claiming that he’s the bastard of the Imperial Soul Monarch.”

“He’s the successor of the Imperial Soul Monarch’s soulline.”

Everyone let out shocked noises when they heard this. Their recognition of Thamur was refreshed in an instant.

“As you know, all three of the Imperial Soul Monarch’s children were killed at Spirit Realm,” An Hao said while looking at Qin Lie.

The young man nodded and said, “My ancestor was able to become the Soul Progenitor because he forcefully absorbed Crown Prince Moriel’s soul into his body. Malcolm and Latiff were lured to Spirit Realm by Narsen, and they too were… killed in Spirit Realm.”

“Thamur could be the Imperial Soul Monarch’s fourth son. It is said that he inherited the Imperial Soul Monarch’s soulline, and his main soul… has been at rank ten since a long time ago,” said An Hao with a frown on his face. He continued, “Just like the Imperial Soul Monarch, Thamur probably has countless subsouls. Most of them were hiding in secluded corners of the galaxy, plotting to fulfill his grand plan one day. The Thamur you met in the Origin World and the Bone Race’s homeworld were probably just two of the real Thamur’s subsouls.”

“His main soul has probably been cultivating in the Soul Race all this time!”

“Maybe he declared his replacement of the Imperial Soul Monarch because he thought that the time was right. It’s clear that his new position was supported by the experts of the Soul Race.”

Qin Lie said seriously, “Thamur is a shrewd and devious person. Not only is he in cahoots with Castor, he seemed to be connected to the shadow beings as well.”

“Now that Thamur has become the leader of the Soul Race, he’s sure to be a great threat in the future,” An Hao said.

“Still, where did he find the courage to replace the Imperial Soul Monarch?” Han Che just couldn’t understand this part.

An Hao hesitated for a moment before replying, “It is rumored that the Imperial Soul Monarch was weakened after he fought the Saint God of the shadow beings. Although people claim that he went back to sleep and cultivated after returning from the Sea of Annihilation, it was a fact that he hadn’t woken up even once since. A lot of people suspected that the Imperial Soul Monarch was killed by the Saint God, and this theory was popular even within the Soul Race itself. That was why Thamur was able to win his people’s support. They thought that the Imperial Soul Monarch was dead, and that they needed a new leader to lead them.”

“Qin Lie! The other six Devil Monarchs of the Purgatories are asking to meet you at the abyss passageway. They wish to speak with you about countermeasures against Castor.” Suddenly, the soul message of the Nine Hells Monarch Auston entered his head.

There were eight Devil Monarchs in the Abyss Purgatory. They finally panicked after all six of Castor’s avatars had escaped.
