In the void space, the blank area was now filled with figures.
Old Lin, Elder An, Caihong, and others were curiously observing their surroundings, while also getting accustomed to their current state.
Li Chonglou once again saw the figures of everyone, but his attention was almost entirely on Elder An.
Among the soul bodies present, Elder An was the oldest and most knowledgeable.
Before he could answer their questions, Old Lin asked him, "Elder An, is this place any different from the soul jar? Other than being able to manifest?"
In the soul jar space, they existed as consciousnesses, not like this, where they could see each other's forms.
However, after hundreds of years in the beast-fighting arena, they were tired of it. Whether as consciousnesses or soul bodies, it made little difference to them.
Elder An then said, "If I'm not mistaken, by staying here, even if soul fusion occurs with Little Li, energy will not dissipate over time."
"Didn't you notice? We can't sense the outside world at all here."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the soul bodies changed.
If Elder An's words were true, then staying here had its pros and cons. The good part was not having to worry about energy loss. As long as they didn't wish to reincarnate, they could stay here almost indefinitely.
But the downside was also this: by staying here, they couldn't sense the outside world. What was the difference between this and being in the Lost Land?
Li Chonglou then spoke, "Elder An, can we modify this place?"
It was a rephrased question, but from a different angle. Unfortunately, Elder An was also a first-timer and didn't know much, so he could only shake his head and say, "Sorry, I'm not sure about that either."
Speaking of which, Elder An also mentioned something he had wanted to say for a long time: "Little Li, in fact, all my knowledge comes from the Lost Land. But after experiencing the underground world you are in now, I understand that the Lost Land is just a tiny speck."
"Therefore, in the future, many questions will have to be verified by yourself."
These words sounded like retirement. Li Chonglou didn't expect Elder An to say this suddenly. Before he could react, Old Lin chimed in, "Are you all forgetting something?"
Everyone immediately turned their confused gazes towards him.
Old Lin then said, "In this underground world, we could talk to Little Li in the soul jar?"
Everyone suddenly had a moment of realization, and even Elder An couldn't help but say, "We really forgot about that. If nothing else, this function alone has been a great help to us!"
Elder An seemed to suddenly remember an important matter. As Li Chonglou looked over, he heard him say, "Little Li, what I'm about to tell you is very important, so you must listen carefully!"
Li Chonglou's heart immediately tensed.
"This underground world might have a way to revive us!"
*Bang!*
An invisible bolt of lightning struck him from head to toe, leaving Li Chonglou stunned.
"Revive?"
Li Chonglou swallowed and glanced at everyone around him.
"Elder An, you mean people who have been dead for hundreds of years can be revived here? Is it true or not?"
This news was undeniably explosive!
If it were true, let alone anything else, there were no less than ten soul bodies here. Those seen in the beast-fighting arena were only awakened bodies. Later, after entering the soul jar, there were still some dormant bodies that Li Chonglou hadn't counted.
If they were to include those who were still dormant in the soul jar, the total number would be no less than ten!
This meant he would have the assistance of at least ten experts at the third level!
Just thinking about this situation made him feel excited and thrilled!
However, what he didn't expect was that even more explosive news was yet to come. Elder An smiled and said calmly, "Little Li, it seems you haven't grasped the main point yet. We can all be revived. Think about what happens to others."
As the saying goes, a word to the wise is enough. Li Chonglou jolted.
This time, his hands trembled slightly with excitement. Elder An's meaning was already very clear. Even those who had been dead for hundreds of years could be revived.
The emphasis of this sentence was not on the preceding part, but on the last two words!
Revival!
This was the core of the entire issue!
If this matter were truly successful, it would mean he possessed the ability to bring the dead back to life. In the real world, this would be equivalent to cheating!
Birth, aging, sickness, and death were the laws of nature. No one, human or otherwise, could escape this law.
But Elder An's words represented that they might very well break free from this law, perhaps becoming the most special group of people in this world!
However, for now, it was all just imagination. Li Chonglou quickly calmed down, suppressing his excited heart.
"Elder An, this matter shouldn't be that simple, right? Even if revival is possible, the conditions must be extremely harsh?"
Yes, humans are like this. When facing something that breaks their understanding, their first instinct is to make it as terrifying and difficult as possible.
Because only by doing so can its extraordinariness be revealed, and they can accept it with peace of mind.
However, this instinct was often a form of rule. Elder An nodded and said, "Naturally. But it's too early to discuss this now. Let's verify it first."
Li Chonglou immediately asked, "Then what should I do?"
Elder An said solemnly, "To meet this condition, at least two parts must be satisfied: one is the soul, and the other is the body."
"In fact, I only have fifty percent confidence now. I just feel that after absorbing those residual souls, our soul bodies are becoming more complete."
"I don't quite understand the intricacies, but I just feel that in the past, even if we possessed someone's body, we wouldn't be able to sustain the body's operation."
At this moment, Old Lin walked over and interjected, "I can attest to that. Little Li, I did completely take over your body, right? In fact, in my perception, I could only last about ten minutes."
Old Lin thought for a moment and found a metaphor: "It's as if I suddenly had a large water tank on my back. Every step, even every breath, consumed physical strength. When the physical strength ran out and the water tank was still behind me, it was very likely that..."
Old Lin didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Li Chonglou frowned slightly. This was something he hadn't experienced. Elder An continued,
"But after absorbing the residual souls, I could clearly feel." Elder An paused and continued Old Lin's metaphor: "The large water tank on my body kept getting lighter."
