You slew Atrophy by relying on your Soul Power, and grievously wounded Smile.”

This voice came from a distance away, and Xia Fei lifted his head up, only to find the stranger standing before him, the one who had familiarized him with the thirteen Founders!

“Since I’ve won, why am I here? And why are you here, as well?!”

Hosu chuckled, “You’re here because you failed to control the powerful Soul Mark during battle.
That loss of control ultimately triggered your Tree of Life, and you broke through your cocoon and were reborn.”

Xia Fei patted his war armor.
Sin Raksha has already been ruined to the point it was out of shape after that intense fighting.
The fiendish blade Nirvana was inside his ring, seemingly no different from before.

Smiling, Xia Fei said, “You’re lying.
I know how rebirth works.
The old demon lord Oro was resurrected, and he had nothing on him, naked as a newborn babe.
But look at me now, how am I anywhere near a new rebirth?”

Hosu shook his head, “What that person planted was a Life Seed, while what you have just experienced was the replacement effect of a Tree of Life.
You understand replacement, right? Rebirth requires you to die before you can be reborn, while replacement requires you to be in a precarious situation, when your life is hanging by a thread, and the Tree of Life will die in your stead.
You’ll remain completely fine, just like before.”

Taking a look at Furball beside him soundly asleep, Xia Fei asked, “Then how do you explain Furball being here as well? Even if I’ve been replaced by the Tree of Life, Furball hasn’t planted any Tree of Life.”

Hosu answered, “I was the one who brought Furball back, the same as Nirvana.
As for your war armor and Peacock Blue, they came back with you, as they were already on your person.”

Xia Fei swallowed hard.
Hosu’s explanation seemed sensible.
The Tree of Life had replaced him, and it was also logical that Hosu brought back Nirvana and Furball.

“Why are you helping me?” Xia Fei had to ask.

“I didn’t.
If I had helped you, both Smile and Atrophy would already be dead, and you wouldn’t have had to expend something as precious as your Tree of Life.
Honestly, between the Tree of Life and the Life Seed, I prefer the former, because the Life Seed can help warriors experience countless rebirths, but their cultivation will be lost each time it happens.
Meanwhile, the Tree of Life can only be used just once, but there will not be any losses incurred.
Of course, the best is if you have both together.
Too bad that you’ve used up your one Tree of Life.
I’m afraid it’ll be very hard for you to find another amazing plant like it again,” Hosu commented, somewhat critically.

Xia Fei suddenly felt that this person standing before him was very strange.
Not only had he not made any requests, he was even helping Xia Fei to no benefit.
It was almost as if they shared some mysterious connection that made him keep doing this.

That was when Radix abruptly appeared before Xia Fei, as real as life, like he had just been reborn.

He took a peculiar bow before solemnly stating, “Xia Fei.
From the bottom of my heart, forgive me for keeping you in the dark all this time, but this has been Hosu’s idea the entire time!”

Hosu was floored! Radix had not only learned to be as cunning as Xia Fei, he had even learned how to shirk responsibilities and throw someone under the bus without a second thought?! Was this still the same Radix from before?

“Hosu?!” Xia Fei was stunned.

Radix pointed at Hosu and exclaimed, “That’s right, this is actually Hosu! I wanted to tell you this when you met him at the Palace of Gods, but he forbade me to say a word, which was why you’re only learning about this now!”

Hosu furrowed his brow and was about to explain, when Radix suddenly continued, “Hosu, the little young master has managed to break out of his cocoon and be reborn, acquiring his first Soul Mark! You cannot keep anything from him anymore; you have to hand over everything, even the young master’s inheritance!”

There was no need to mention the anger Hosu was feeling inside, but he suddenly realized that this was Radix’s way of teaching Hosu a lesson for not lending aid after he had nearly been used up by Xia Fei like a bomb.
He had learned this from Xia Fei, as well!

Heaving a long sigh, Hosu went down on the ground with one knee and said to Xia Fei, “Soul Hunter Hosu, of the Aurora Clan, greets the little young master!”

Radix was no exception, as he went down on his knee and repeated the same line, as well.
That was when Xia Fei realized that Radix was not really there, but that he could not see him clearly whenever he wanted!

Radix was an Immortal Soul.
In the past, Xia Fei could only see a very obvious transparent form of him, but now, Xia Fei was seeing Radix like he was alive!

Xia Fei was startled, as he was not used to this sudden change.
It was like an ordinary person opening their third eye, and abruptly realizing that aside from the humans all around him, there were also ghosts and spirits floating about.
Of course he was shocked!

He was also surprised to find that his seventh brain region was different from before.
It’s breadth had increased by an astonishing fifty percent, and the rainbow energy ball had been supplanted by a golden mark.

*Whoosh*

Xia Fei could feel a headache coming on as confusion overtook him.

Xia Fei clutched his head with one hand and demanded, “Tell me, just what exactly is going on? Why has this inconceivable change taken place to my body, and why are the both of you calling me ‘young master’?”

Radix was about to speak when Xia Fei promptly added, “Then there’s also that thing about my inheritance, are you supposed to hand it over?”

Hosu could only feel indignant sorrow flood his heart.
What sort of character was Xia Fei’s grandfather? He was well-respected, and did everything with panache.
Even if someone had shown mountains of wealth to him, he was not the sort who would even lift a finger to covet them.

But just look at Xia Fei; Radix had casually mentioned the matter of an inheritance and the young man had etched it into his mind.
The tone he took seemingly said, ‘What is mine is mine, what is yours is also mine.
As long as I have heard about it, it then belongs to me!”

‘To think the distinguished Aurora Clan would have such an outlandish individual like Xia Fei!’ Hosu sighed to himself.
