Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1129 - 643: The Value of Tun Marsh

The relationship between the Lizard Queen and the Spirit Soul Naga precisely met the conditions required to activate this special field, and Gaven took the opportunity to start it. To expedite the process, Gaven even spared no expense consuming a considerable amount of Shadow Power. After all, his Shadow Power was now sufficient enough that wasting a bit no longer left him in the excruciating agony that it initially did.

Within this field, the Spirit Soul Naga, after being killed by the Lizard Queen, would not suffer any substantive loss and could swiftly resurrect, with the inflicted damage not merely confined to the physical body but also piercing directly into the soul.

Spirit Soul Naga Alhashan had already lost count of how many times the Lizard Queen had tormented him to death, his psyche having utterly collapsed. This place was not Purgatory, yet it was countless times more terrifying than Purgatory itself.

Compared to the never-ending torment, what was freedom but a trivial matter?

Besides, he had no freedom to speak of here. Rather than enduring such, it would be better to have the Soul Stone controlled by someone else – at least he wouldn’t have to face the Lizard Queen, who hated him to the core.

"As long as you’re willing to hand over the Soul Stone and help me take control of Tun Marsh as well as the Lizardfolk Army there, I shall resurrect you so that you never have to encounter Kurgor again," Gaven directly revealed his true intentions.

Subduing him through internal and external cooperation was more efficient, and besides, Spirit Soul Naga was the true governor of the Lizard Court. His knowledge of Tun Marsh and the Lizardfolk far exceeded that of Kurgor, the Lizard Queen. Only by making oneself useful to her could one get closer to the center of power and thus find the opportunity to destroy the Soul Stone.

"I am willing, I am willing, I am willing," without another word, Spirit Soul Naga stirred the full extent of his strength. Wisps of black mist emanated from his body, gathering into a mass in front of him.

A black Crystal Stone the size of an ostrich egg emerged from nothing – what could it be if not his Soul Stone?

"Please accept this, Lord. From this day forward, you are my master. I pledge my lifelong knowledge in service to you, Lord. Offering Tun Marsh to you is my inescapable duty," Spirit Soul Naga offered his Soul Stone to Gaven willingly, his smile grotesquely obsequious and abject. The Soul Stone floated in mid-air, insistently drifting towards Gaven as if afraid of being rejected by the recipient of an offered favor.

However, just several days before, Spirit Soul Naga had exhausted his life’s energy and knowledge trying to reclaim his Soul Stone – the irony was utmost.

Gaven did not reach out to accept it; instead, dense Shadow Power entwined around and directly engulfed the Soul Stone. Touching it, he knew immediately that the Soul Stone was genuine. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Before returning, Gaven had specifically collected and studied information about the Naga, a unique Magical Race.

This race was practically immortal and extremely difficult to kill by conventional means as they could experience Fearless Rebirth.

The only way to truly end them was to use a Nine Rings Wish Spell to prevent their Fearless Rebirth after killing them. Upon death, they wouldn’t leave a physical corpse, but a differently colored (depending on the Naga’s type) egg-shaped stone. This stone was the Naga’s Soul Stone, also known as the Naga Stone. These stones were inherent Magic Equipment, allowing the holder to wield a portion of the Naga’s former Spell Abilities. If refined with special magical craftsmanship, it could even summon a completely reset Naga of the same type, loyal to you. However, this newly born Naga would not retain any memories or acquired skills and abilities of its predecessor, only the most basic racial traits and strengths.

Take the Spirit Soul Naga before him, now a Legendary Spirit Soul Naga. If killed and reset, he would only retain a dozen Life Dice. Other abilities were still unknown, but at the very least, his Duncan’s Greater Disjunction would be lost since this was not an innate Spell-Like Ability of the Naga but rather one acquired through his own research and learning.

In short, to the Naga, the Soul Stone was their core, and the body was nothing more than a form crafted by Magic Power.

Once the Soul Stone fell into another’s hands, they would be at their mercy.

There were generally two methods to obtain a Spirit Soul Naga’s Soul Stone.

The first was to control him and use magical means to forcibly extract his Soul Consciousness, congealing it into the Soul Stone. However, this method required significant expertise, and Gaven’s collection of information on Naga contained no such knowledge. Especially extracting the Soul Stone from the body of a Legendary Spirit Soul Naga appeared to be an exceptionally high difficulty, even though he was fully under Gaven’s control. But using Shadow Rebirth versus the Naga’s own Soul Stone rebirth was a completely different concept.

The second method was like what was happening right now, where the Naga willingly condensed and surrendered their Soul Stone.

Whether such willingness stemmed from respect or Fear made no difference. Compared to respect, Fear was simpler, cruder, and yielded quicker results.

The only downside was that his loyalty was forced, and given the chance, he would betray Gaven like he did the Lizard Queen – in pursuit of freedom, he would stab his own benefactor without hesitation.

Gaven warned with a threatening tone, "Should you even think of any treachery, or deliver anything less than your best efforts, don’t blame me for sending you back to join Kurgor in imprisonment. You only have one chance; the next will be permanent."
