Spirit Realm
Spirit Realm - Chapter 1814: A Rumor!

Sky Bearing City.

"Is Lieyan Yuan dead?"

The old patriarch of the Ji Family Ji Dan, found Qin Shan and Qin Hao along with Hua Tianqiong, the Ice Emperor, the Flame Emperor, and the others. They had complicated gazes.

"Many realms of fire-attribute have experienced strange phenomenon.” The Flame Emperor thought and slowly said, “I also cultivate the power of fire. In my view, unless Lieyan Yuan attempted to enter the ultimate realm, such changes would not have occurred.”"

He paused for a moment. "Supposedly, the change... only continued for a brief moment. Then, the fire energy that had been pulled into chaotic streams of space returned."

"It might mean that his breakthrough failed."

Inside the hall, the peak experts of the human race in Spirit Realm were silent.

Qin Shan's brows were deeply furrowed.

"There is also a rumor whose veracity I cannot verify." Ji Dan looked directly at Qin Shan and said, "The rumor has it that Qin Lie was the one who killed Lieyan Yuan and… that he is reincarnation of the Imperial Soul Monarch. Old Brother Qin, what do you think about this matter?"

The Flame Emperor, the Ice Emperor, and Hua Tianqiong all looked at Qin Shan.

Qin Shan's mouth was full of bitterness.

Due to Qin Lie's existence, Spirit Realm had become the center of the universe with large numbers of experts from other realms coming in and out.

Due to this, the experts of Spirit Realm had gained great insight into the major matters happening in the universe.

That rumor... he had naturally heard of it.

Qin Lie was Imperial Soul Monarch’s reincarnation?

Qin Shan shook his head minutely and found it hard to accept. But he knew that Qin Lie was an abnormality in the Qin Family, the only one able to merge with the Soul Suppressing Orb. He also knew that Qin Lie had the soul aura of the Soul Progenitor.

The Soul Progenitor was the first son of the Imperial Soul Monarch.

Qin Lie had been able to repeatedly create miracles. Even he found it inconceivable when he really thought about it.

All the abnormalities and miracles were hard to believe sometimes. But if... Qin Lie really was the Imperial Soul Monarch, all those riddles would have answers.

While his heart didn’t want to believe it, his common sense told him… that the rumors may be the truth.

If his grandson was really the Imperial Soul Monarch of the Soul Race, then how should he treat Qin Lie?

Once Qin Lie completely awakened and realized who he was, how would he treat Spirit Realm and the Qin Family members?

By then, would Qin Lie still do his best to help Spirit Realm and the Qin Family?

Still care about his grandfather?

"I think we should ask Qin Lie himself about this." The Ice Emperor thought for a while and said with a dark expression, "No matter what, we need to know a true answer—who is he really? We also need to know how he will treat Spirit Realm and us after he understands his own identity!"

"This is true." Ji Dan grimaced. "The current state of Spirit Realm was all due to his work. It’s his right to create or destroy it."

"Where is Qin Lie?" the Flame Emperor asked.

"His Dark Soul Beast avatar is the closest and in the Land of Chaos," Qin Shan said.

"Old Brother Qin, please summon Qin Lie here to meet. We need an answer," Ji Dan said seriously.

Qin Shan hesitated and nodded. "Alright."

He messaged Song Tingyu.

Not long after.

"Are you looking for me?" Qin Lie's voice came from outside the hall.

A moment later, he appeared in the hall of the Qin Family in human form and looked intently at these people who had complicated expressions.

Including his grandfather Qin Shan and his father Qin Hao.

"That's..."

After he arrived, even Qin Shan felt his voice was hoarse and powerless when he spoke.

"Grandpa, you can ask what you think. As much as you want, I will explain without reservation," Qin Lie said sincerely.

Hearing Qin Lie still calling him grandpa, for some reason, Qin Shan felt a bit more relaxed.

"Little Lie, there are rumors saying you killed Lieyan Yuan, saying that... you are the Imperial Soul Monarch reborn. What do you think?" Qin Shan pretended to be calm and asked.

Inside the hall, everyone's gaze gathered on Qin Lie.

All eyes on him, Qin Lie replied honestly, "Yes, I am Imperial Soul Monarch’s reincarnation."

At these words, all the human race experts in the Qin Family Hall were silent.

Only the sound of their breathing remained.

"It, it really is true..." The Ice Emperor's lips trembled slightly as he stared at Qin Lie. He said, "Then if you are the Imperial Soul Monarch of the Soul Race, how will you... treat Spirit Realm in the future, and treat us?"

Qin Shan took a deep breath. Earlier, his expression was conflicted but his tone was extremely calm. "In the future, in the future..."

But now, as he thought of the future, his voice trembled and he could no longer pretend to be calm.

"Even though I used to be the Imperial Soul Monarch, I was also Qin Lie. In my eyes, you will always be my grandpa." Qin Lie's expression was serious and he said, "Everyone, you will always be my seniors! Spirit Realm will always be my home. This will never change! I hope that everyone will disregard my past as the Imperial Soul Monarch and still treat me as Qin Lie. In my perspective, this Qin Lie of flesh and blood is the real me!"

"Not the emotionless Imperial Soul Monarch who had only ever had responsibilities."

"I will forever be the Qin Lie you know!"

"Good, good, good!" Qin Shan said excitedly.

The Flame Emperor shouted," Qin Lie, if the beings of Spirit Realm ever fought the Soul Race, whose side would you stand on?"

"Unless I die, there’s no way that would ever happen," Qin Lie promised.

Hearing his promise, the people in the hall sighed in relief.

"Please treat me like before," Qin Lie said sincerely.

"We will do our best." The Ice Emperor grimaced, shook his head and said, "Thinking that you’ve been the strongest person in the universe for millions of years makes me feel slightly inferior."

"So strange." The Flame Emperor was also lamenting." Us elders watched Imperial Soul Monarch grow up to reach the apex again. So lucky."

"Haha, I have no regrets after becoming the grandfather of the Imperial Soul Monarch." Qin Shan seemed to have put down his burden and laughed out loud.

"A great upheaval is coming. I have a feeling that the shadow beings will soon make a major move. By that time, the universe, which has been at peace for a long time, will be in chaos again." Qin Lie's expression was dark as he said, "I feel that the movement of the shadow beings this time will surpass our expectations."

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At this time, Chen Lin and Miao Yizi suddenly flew in from outside.

"Old Patriarch, I, I sensed..." Chen Lin stuttered.

"What is it?" Qin Shan said curiously.

"Master's presence. We felt our master's presence. Master has returned!" Miao Yizi said in excitement.

"What?" Qin Shan was shocked.

"Snap-crack snap-crack!"

Thunder roared and lightning flashed in the distant horizon. A large old man suddenly came out of a spatial crack.

"I finally have returned to Spirit Realm!" The old man laughed out loud.

"Thunder Emperor! It is Thunder Emperor!" the Flame Emperor screamed.

Chen Lin and Miao Yizi's master, Shang Mou, had fallen into a spatial crack filled with the Light of Annihilation. No news of him had come after that.

The Thunder Emperor, when returning to Spirit Realm, had accidentally fallen into Dark Shadow World and disappeared.

Qin Lie immediately felt wary at these two people returning at this sensitive time.
