Chapter 703: The Ability of Black Pages

In the mirror, the soul belonging to Pei’er also heard the conversation between Saul and Agu.

Her expression didn’t change in the slightest, as if she didn’t care about Saul’s opinion of her.

Saul raised his left hand, pressing it against the mirror, his mental power following the mirror surface into the mirror’s interior.

“You’re also Pei’er. Don’t you want to contact the other half of your soul?”

After returning from the Prismatic World, Saul had lost the ability to go there again. Until recently, the Baisek Magic Mirror that had been stored with him suddenly showed abnormal reactions.

Only then did Saul discover that the strand of Pei’er’s soul stored in this mirror had actually developed autonomous consciousness after long-term separation from the main body.

Through difficult communication, he was delighted to discover that this soul condensed with evil thoughts could vaguely sense the missing Pei’er.

However, when Saul asked her to further attempt communication with the distant Pei’er, she was very resistant and demanded to devour large quantities of souls.

And they had to be newly dead, sufficiently clean souls.

A thoroughly evil character setup.

Although with Saul’s current status and strength, let alone 99 newly dead souls, even 99 living people could be easily obtained.

But Saul had no intention of making this deal with the evil-thoughts Pei’er.

The consciousness of the evil thoughts Pei’er lacked humanity and the moral foundation formed through years of life experience, so she couldn’t be treated as a normal, independent individual.

Moreover, Saul had no intention of being led around by the nose by an incomplete soul.

“Contact her for what? It would be better if she couldn’t return.” The evil thoughts heard Saul’s words and sneered. “If she comes back, she’ll just lock me up. Since I already have my own consciousness, I never planned to merge with her again.”

Agu sighed softly. “Soul division always has such hidden dangers. I was the same way initially. That’s why I didn’t divide by personality back then, but instead divided my life experiences into three segments. But even so, if it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have been able to merge back together so easily.”

Reminded by Agu, Saul ignored the evil thoughts Pei’er’s clamoring and became thoughtful.

“Back then, I used the diary’s black pages to directly fuse your souls, so it was effortless… Actually, I can also use this method to control the evil thoughts.”

Agu was puzzled. “But Master, the evil thoughts’ soul probably isn’t enough to form a complete black page, right?”

Incomplete black pages couldn’t communicate.

But Saul didn’t have much else, but he certainly had plenty of souls.

He raised his hand, and a red hardcover book appeared.

The evil thoughts Pei’er was seeing this book for the first time. She was somewhat curious but didn’t want to show her curiosity, glancing at it sideways.

With a thought from Saul, the pages flipped open until reaching the last black page.

This black page belonged to Nerela, the second-rank wizard who had once impersonated a Wind Sprite.

Saul hadn’t originally intended to keep her, so the current Nerela was on the verge of disappearing.

Although Nerela’s soul was anxious, Saul had sealed her perception of the outside world and ability to actively communicate, so she could only watch helplessly as she walked toward the end of death and disappearance.

Watching death approach step by step was incredibly maddening.

Yet being on the black page, she couldn’t even collapse and cry.

So when Saul opened the black page containing Nerela after a long time, she truly wished she could immediately kneel down before Saul.

[Sir, please, save me. I don’t want to disappear like this.]

Nerela’s handwriting was already so faint that it was barely visible.

Saul pointed his index finger at the page, inputting some soul energy into it.

“I want to make a deal with you.” Saul began his guidance. “I need to control a soul fragment. I need to preserve her consciousness, but can’t harm her. So I’ll temporarily merge you with her. You help me control her, and I’ll give you a chance to survive. Are you willing?”

[Yes, sir. I’m willing, I’m willing!]

After spending a year waiting for death, Nerela no longer cared what she needed to pay to survive.

She had just finished listening to Saul’s request when she eagerly agreed to Saul’s deal.

And Saul was straightforward too, immediately replenishing Nerela with large amounts of soul energy and directly tearing out this black page, casually tossing it onto the mirror.

“What are you doing?” The evil thoughts in the mirror didn’t understand, staring intently at the black paper stuck to the mirror surface.

If white pages could interpret the lines of development trends of surrounding people and things, then black pages were condensations of consciousness bodies’ life experiences.

In Saul’s eyes, the consciousness bodies in black pages were similarly collections of intersections formed by countless straight lines.

When the black page stuck to the mirror surface, the evil thoughts in the mirror were transformed by the diary’s power into line aggregates invisible to the naked eye and absorbed into the black page where Nerela resided.

Lines intersected with lines, entangling with each other, unclearly.

Despite the evil thoughts’ extreme unwillingness, she couldn’t resist the diary’s power.

Soon, the two sets of lines merged together.

Under Saul’s deliberate guidance, although the two sets of lines were almost indistinguishable from each other, they hadn’t changed their original forms.

They had only completed a shallow level of fusion.

But even this degree of fusion was enough for the more powerful Nerela to exert a certain degree of control over the evil thoughts.

Using an old saying from Saul’s memory, it could be described as:

“Pull one hair and the whole body moves.”

The black page that had absorbed Pei’er’s evil thoughts drifted down from the Baisek Magic Mirror, as if blown by wind, spinning several times in the air before landing perfectly in Saul’s hand.

Saul retrieved the black page and inserted it into the diary book. The black page automatically merged into the diary as if it had never been torn out.

“Nerela… can you now try to use part of Pei’er’s soul to contact her other half?”

[I can try, but this will take some time.]

Nerela first answered Saul’s question, then sighed with emotion.

[So the “she” you mentioned was the Wind Sprite.]

Nerela’s tone was somewhat complex.

After all, the two had been mortal enemies before.

And now she was actually merged with a fragment of her opponent’s soul.

It could only be said that life was unpredictable.

Saul had no interest in Nerela’s mental journey. In any case, he had now fulfilled his promise and let Nerela survive.

So under the influence of causality, Nerela would do her utmost to help Saul communicate with Pei’er, who was far away in another world.

As long as he could contact Pei’er, Saul believed he could better understand that mysterious Prismatic World full of fate lines.

The power level of that world was much higher than the wizard world he currently inhabited.

It was also the advancement path beyond the fourth rank that Saul sought for himself.

The experience of facing death to find life in the Black Tide’s Storm Eye had completely changed Saul’s somewhat conservative thinking.

He was no longer satisfied with his strength remaining at a certain stage and had begun setting his sights on higher places.

So high that even this world couldn’t reach such heights!

Watching Nerela fall silent, Saul snapped the diary shut with a “pop.”

Then the diary faded until it disappeared.

Agu looked at Saul with even more respect, even carrying a trace of worship.

“The evil thoughts and Nerela haven’t completely merged yet. They belong to a special type of one soul, dual consciousness. Check the books in the wizard tower to see if there are any precautions needed for this special spiritual body.”

“Yes!” Agu hurriedly agreed.

Saul exhaled. “Phew, well then… let’s go see Little Algae next.”
