Speaking of Fallen Soul Masters, Xiao Lin naturally couldn't stand the existence of such trash.
If things developed normally according to the original story, after Tang San attained Godhood, Shrek Academy and the others shouldn't have allowed the number of Fallen Soul Masters to increase.
The entire continent became Tang San's back garden, and the Shrek group constantly flaunted themselves as righteous. Logically speaking, even if the number of Fallen Soul Masters couldn't be less than when Spirit Hall was in power, it certainly shouldn't have been higher, right?
What exactly happened in the future?
Xiao Lin stopped dwelling on it.
Since he had come to this world, he couldn't let it become even worse than before. He couldn't save everyone, but he could ensure there were fewer bad people. Xiao Lin thought to himself that in the future, at the very least, he shouldn't let Qian Renxue die.
The Angel God of Spirit Hall could not be broken.
A lineage specifically designed to counter Evil Soul Masters should be properly passed down. However, regarding this point, Xiao Lin would have to find a suitable opportunity to discuss it thoroughly with Tang San later on.
Spirit Hall's Qian Xunji shared a massive blood feud with Tang San's family.
In the worldview of both Tang San and Xiao Lin, the hatred of a mother's death was absolutely irreconcilable. Asking someone to simply let go of their hatred was something Xiao Lin could not do.
But redirecting that hatred was within the realm of possibility.
Tang Hao and Ah Yin were deeply in love, yet out of nowhere, someone suddenly discovered Ah Yin's true identity. They then launched an attack on Tang Hao and his wife, forcing Ah Yin to sacrifice herself.
Some people claimed that regarding this matter, Tang Hao was either inherently malicious or just incredibly stupid. From the logic of his behavior, it was highly unlikely that Tang Hao was malicious.
Judging by how Tang Hao barely even protected Tang San in the future just so he could revive Ah Yin, the two of them were definitely true love, while Tang San was merely an accident.
Furthermore, when a one hundred thousand year soul beast sacrifices itself to turn into a soul ring and soul bone, they usually lose all consciousness.
But there were exceptions.
As the Blue Silver Emperor who possessed immense vitality, to say Ah Yin lacked consciousness altogether was unlikely; at the very least, her soul might still reside within Tang Hao's body.
In this way, Ah Yin could more or less sense Tang Hao's feelings, which reduced the likelihood of Tang Hao being malicious by a few more fractions.
So, was he just purely stupid? Even if Tang Hao was stupid, he wouldn't go as far as leaking Ah Yin's identity to the public.
As for Tang Xiao being jealous, that was even more impossible. Would he really just hand over a one hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone to Spirit Hall?
If that were the case, then Tang Xiao would be the stupid one.
How should one put it? Tang Xiao indeed wasn't very smart either.
He had sold out the Four Single-Attribute Clans just like that.
One had to remember that the Speed Clan shared a blood relation with him. But again, a person shouldn't be stupid to that extent. If someone really was, then it could only mean Xiao Lin's horizons were too narrow.
After eliminating all impossible scenarios, only one possibility remained.
That was, Ah Yin had exposed herself.
She was pregnant at the time, and her aura leaked when she was giving birth to Tang San.
This was likely the true reason.
This also perfectly aligned with the timeline when Spirit Hall was actively searching for news of one hundred thousand year soul beasts back then. However, if it was only for this reason, Xiao Lin had no way to redirect the hatred between Tang San and the Qian Clan.
In the end, Xiao Lin couldn't think of a way to make Tang San let go of his grudge. When considering the future, he had to first remember that he was Tang San's brother. At worst, whatever the Qian Clan was supposed to do, he would just do it himself.
Weren't they just Evil Soul Masters?
Once he inherited both the Ice and Fire God positions, he would leave behind his own inheritance trials. Each trial would require the slaying of Evil Soul Masters, but breeding Evil Soul Masters like a plague would be strictly forbidden.
This way, it will at least be much better than the second part of the original timeline.
Inside the carriage, Tang San noticed the changes in Xiao Lin's expression.
It shifted from hesitation and conflict at the very beginning to complete relaxation and ease at the end. Tang San didn't know what Xiao Lin was thinking about; he simply assumed that Xiao Lin might be contemplating matters related to himself.
After all, he had seen this happen quite often.
"Brother Lin, what are you thinking about?" Tang San asked directly.
"Nothing much. I was just wondering if a soul beast's consciousness still remains within its soul ring, and whether a soul beast could use that consciousness to achieve resurrection."
Xiao Lin wasn't lying; this was indeed a research topic he wanted to look into recently.
It was a whimsical idea that had branched out from his musings over whether Ah Yin's consciousness still existed. Furthermore, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings would also need to be resurrected in the future, and Xiao Lin still had no leads on how to accomplish that right now.
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were certainly not just ordinary one hundred thousand year soul beasts. In addition, Xiao Lin was wondering if he could use this research topic to develop the concept of Soul Spirits.
The complete consciousness's of soul beasts like the Mighty Vajra Bull were still preserved within his Horned Dragon Staff. Researching Soul Spirits would also be incredibly beneficial to Xiao Lin's combat strength.
Upon hearing Xiao Lin's words, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Tang Ni were all filled with intense curiosity.
Especially Xiao Wu.
When she heard that Xiao Lin was researching this topic, tears faintly glistened in her eyes. If Xiao Lin hadn't been paying close attention, he might not have noticed it at all.
"Brother Lin, can soul beasts really be resurrected?" Xiao Wu asked curiously, her face flushing with excitement.
This time, uncharacteristically, Xiao Wu actually voiced her question before Tang San.
Although both Xiao Lin and Tang San knew exactly what Xiao Wu's situation was, still...
"I'm not entirely sure," Xiao Lin said, frowning slightly and not daring to give too many guarantees.
"The vast majority of a soul beast's cultivation should reside within its soul bone—or soul core—but its mental strength and vitality will transform into a soul ring. The consciousness shock from a ten thousand year soul ring is a prime example of this."
"And once a soul beast reaches the level of a one hundred thousand year soul ring, there is a very high probability that its consciousness is preserved."
In any case, a million year soul beast absolutely possessed this ability.
Xiao Lin still remembered that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had intended to seize control of Tang San's consciousness. However, as Xiao Lin looked at the hope-filled eyes of Xiao Wu, he found it difficult to make too many promises.
He knew all too well what kind of person Bibi Dong was.
As the inheritor of an evil god, the probability of Xiao Wu's mother's consciousness still existing was infinitesimally small. Not giving Xiao Wu false hope was for her own good, so she wouldn't fall into utter despair later on.
"However, if it's a soul beast like the Blue Silver Emperor, then the probability is exceptionally high. On this point, you only need to look at Little San's current level of vitality to understand."
Xiao Lin continued speaking, and this time, he gave hope to Tang San.
After all, Tang San's future resurrection of his mother would be relatively smooth and ultimately successful.
"Brother Lin, according to what you're saying, if a soul beast wants to be resurrected, it must possess two fundamental conditions: immense vitality and a complete consciousness, right?" Tang San asked, nodding thoughtfully.
"Correct."
Following Xiao Lin's affirmative response, Tang San shook his head.
"If that's truly the case, how could a soul beast's vitality and consciousness possibly be preserved? Furthermore, the relationship between us humans and soul beasts is fundamentally like fire and water. It's completely impossible to allow a soul ring to revive back into a soul beast."
As Tang San spoke, he gently pulled Xiao Wu into an embrace.
"Only Xiao Wu is different."
"Besides, there's no way I would ever absorb Xiao Wu's soul ring. Isn't this research of yours a bit meaningless then?"
Tang San's face was filled with complete incomprehension.
Brother Lin shouldn't be the type of person to research something so pointless.
"To tell you the truth, the consciousness's of the soul beasts killed by my Horned Dragon Staff have not dissipated. I'm thinking of turning them into Soul Spirits so they can fight alongside me."
Just as Xiao Lin was about to explain further, Tang San immediately shook his head again.
"Brother Lin, that's still useless. Even if they haven't dissipated, so what?"
"Their strength isn't that great either."
"Small. Your vision is too small," Xiao Lin said, shaking his head.
"They are indeed weak right now, but what if I find a way to strengthen them? In the future, my soul rings will all be above the one hundred thousand year level. Those soul beasts won't be weak at all."
