The god's corpse was collected by Lin Yu into the Nest of Life.
As soon as the god's corpse disappeared, the heavy rain immediately lessened. As time went by, the downpour grew weaker and weaker.
By the time Lin Yu completed the soul possession of the little flood dragon, the torrential rain finally stopped completely.
The rain ceased, the clouds dispersed, and a ray of sunlight suddenly pierced through the gaps in the dark clouds, shining into the mortal realm. It was like a holy light cast from the heavens, warm and sacred.
Under the sunlight, Lin Yu's flood dragon clone slowly extended its claws and looked down at the alien beast's body.
Lin Yu stood to the side, watching him with a smile.
After a while, the flood dragon clone finally finished examining itself, returned to its senses, and looked up to meet Lin Yu's gaze.
Lin Yu asked, "How does it feel?"
This was his first time using a soul-possessed clone, and he was very curious about what it felt like.
The flood dragon clone replied, "Excellent, very compatible!"
"Mmm, you've absorbed the little flood dragon's memories, haven't you?" Lin Yu inquired.
In fact, he could have directly accessed the clone's memories, but he wanted to understand the clone's personality by conversing with it.
After all, it was a manifestation with an independent personality, much like Lin Fan. Its personality, temper, and preferences were likely different from his own.
Just like Lin Fan, whose personality was almost the opposite of Lin Yu's. If Lin Yu was calm and reserved, then Lin Fan was lively and energetic. Lin Yu preferred stillness, while Lin Fan favored movement. Each external manifestation had a unique personality, showcasing the diversity of clones.
The flood dragon clone slightly raised its head and said, "This dragon has absorbed it all!"
"This dragon?"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback.
If he remembered correctly, this creature had called itself a little flood dragon.
Was it influenced by the flood dragon's memories?
Or was it intentionally putting on an act?
Just as Lin Yu was about to say something, the flood dragon clone suddenly changed its tone:
"My apologies, I got carried away for a moment. Main body, I've discovered I have a strong talent for acting."
"You can imitate the little flood dragon?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
The flood dragon clone nodded. "Of course. Not only can I imitate the little flood dragon, but I can also imitate others. Their tone, actions, and even expressions can be mimicked with almost no discernible difference."
"Then imitate Lin Fan for me," Lin Yu said.
Speaking of Lin Fan, Lin Yu suddenly remembered that this fellow had committed suicide.
With a thought, he quickly summoned Lin Fan again.
As soon as Lin Fan appeared, his unhappy expression was like falling raindrops. He complained, "Brother, it's been several hours, and you finally remembered your lovely little brother Lin Fan. Oh, is this the new clone?"
He looked at the flood dragon clone, and the flood dragon clone was also looking at Lin Fan.
However, Lin Fan lost interest after a few glances. But the flood dragon clone meticulously recorded Lin Fan's demeanor and then began to imitate him.
Although one was a human and the other a dragon, belonging to different species, the flood dragon clone's imitation of Lin Fan was incredibly lifelike, capturing his every nuance. Even the tone of his voice was indistinguishable. If they had looked identical, it would have been virtually impossible to tell them apart.
This imitation ability was somewhat monstrous! Was it a characteristic of soul-possessed clones?
"Interesting. Your imitation ability is on par with a talent," Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction. With this ability, his undercover missions would be much more effective.
Lin Fan exclaimed, "You have this ability? Why don't I?"
Lin Yu completely ignored the chattering Lin Fan and continued, "Tell me about the abilities you gained after soul possession!"
Upon hearing this, the flood dragon clone immediately stopped imitating Lin Fan and said, "Main body, I devoured the little flood dragon's soul, so I possess all of its abilities, memories, and so on. However, the only drawback is that my soul's essence is still human. Experts can see through my soul."
"Alien beasts do not have the innate talents of us humans from Blue Star. Their power sources are twofold: first, bloodline inheritance. Second, acquired learning."
"The little flood dragon has the Golden Flood Dragon bloodline, allowing it to manipulate metal in combat. It can also change its size, from one hundred meters long at its largest to as thin as a thumb at its smallest. As for other abilities, there are even more."
"For instance, combat techniques, alien beast script, and elemental magic are all special skills that alien beasts learn based on their bloodlines."
"The reason the little flood dragon is considered a genius is its powerful physical strength and soul power. Humans of the same realm only have one-third of its physical strength."
"Actually, from the little flood dragon's memories, I learned that there are many more geniuses in the alien beast world that are stronger than it. It's at best an average genius."
"Main body, you still need to work hard. If the two realms go to full-scale war in the future, our human race's chances of winning are not high."
"Mmm, I understand!" Lin Yu pondered. "The issue of future warfare is beyond my control for now. However, the problem with soul essence is concerning."
He fell into deep thought. On Blue Star, he didn't need to worry about the flood dragon clone's soul being recognized as different, but it was another story in the alien beast world. That world was inhabited by gods. With their power, it was highly likely they could detect the clone's issue. Therefore, this problem had to be solved before the flood dragon clone could venture into the alien beast world. However, he couldn't find a solution despite racking his brain.
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly exclaimed, "Use the Soul Mimicry Technique!"
"Soul Mimicry Technique?"
Lin Yu was instantly jolted awake by the mention.
"Yes, use the Soul Mimicry Technique! This soul technique is very advanced. You should try it!"
The Soul Mimicry Technique could alter the form and aura of a soul, perfectly complementing the soul-possessed clone and compensating for its inherent defect. He hadn't expected the Soul Mimicry Technique to be so useful, but here it was, proving its worth.
The flood dragon clone exclaimed with joy, "That's great! With the Soul Mimicry Technique, I can disguise my soul aura. I'll try it!"
As he spoke, he performed the Soul Mimicry Technique. Soon, his soul form transformed into that of the little flood dragon, and not only that, but his soul aura also became identical to the little flood dragon's. Lin Yu opened his soul vision and found no discernible difference. This Soul Mimicry Technique had a formidable disguise capability!
Thinking of the Soul Mimicry Technique, Lin Yu was reminded of the Soul Suppressing Stele. He wondered where the "Divine Soul Art" originated from.
At this moment, rustling sounds came from behind him. Lin Yu turned around and saw that the Empress and Bai Xiaosa had woken up.
Bai Xiaosa clutched his throbbing head and said with a wry smile, "Ouch, my head hurts so much!"
The Empress also swayed unsteadily, her words slurred. "The rain... why did it stop~"
After a while, the two of them gradually regained their senses.
Lin Yu asked, "Does your head still hurt?"
"No more! But why did the rain stop?" Bai Xiaosa asked curiously.
Lin Fan said, "Why bother with that? This place is too dangerous now. Brother Bai, we should leave the secret realm shortly."
Bai Xiaosa nodded. "Yes, it's time to leave. We'll forget about any divine artifacts. By the way, what was suppressed beneath the Soul Suppressing Stele?"
It was likely that the source of the anomaly was suppressed beneath the Soul Suppressing Stele. Not only Lin Fan, but Bai Xiaosa also suspected this. However, Lin Yu had already taken everything from beneath the Soul Suppressing Stele, but he couldn't tell Bai Xiaosa that.
"I'm also very curious. Let's go take a look together," Lin Fan feigned ignorance, grabbed Bai Xiaosa's arm with a look of curiosity, and headed towards the underground cave.
The flood dragon clone hid in the distance. Lin Yu commanded the flood dragon clone to leave the secret realm and then turned his attention to the Empress.
Only Lin Yu and the Empress remained. The Empress cautiously looked at Lin Yu. Lin Yu smiled and asked, "May I know how Your Majesty the Empress is addressed?"
"Shi Yuchen!"
"A good name!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
"I have some questions. May I ask them?"
"Feel free to ask."
