Within the quiet stone room, Linley lay there silently, four types of elemental essences lovingly swirling around his body. In the quiet stone room, aside from Linley, only Bebe was present. As for Bluefire, Reisgem, and Reihom, they didnt disturb Bebe. They knew very well how deep Linley and Bebes affections for each other were.

Bebe quietly stood by Linleys side, his little face covered in tearstains.

Boss. Bebe forced out a smile. Two thousand years. In my heart, the person Ive always admired the most was you. Honest! When we were young, I always slept or fooled around, but, you, Boss, always worked hard to train, never relaxing at all. I know that part of this had to do with your father, and also with Grandpa Doehring, but you never gave up, right?

In addition, on our journey together, weve met with many seemingly intractable problems. That King of Fenlai was powerful, right? You were just a youth, but you ended up killing that King, right?

Even the then-seemingly all-powerful Radiant Church was destroyed by you. You pulled it out by the root and destroyed it, right?

In the Necropolis of the Gods, when we encountered so many difficulties, and even seemingly fatal dangers, we made it all the way through, right?

We adventured together through the Infernal Realm, and we never fell down. We even fought our way through the Planar Battlefield, this most terrifyingly dangerous of places! And havent we acquired four commander badges?

Bebe gnawed his lips, staring at the slumbering Linley. Boss, you wont fall down now! Its just a soul mutation, right? After overcoming so many challenges, you arent going to fall down on me now, right? I trust, Boss, that you will definitely succeed, becauseyou are my Boss. The Boss that I trust and admire the most.

As Bebe spoke, his tears began to well up in his eyes once more. He forced himself to not let them fall.

The more confident his words were, the more panicked he felt.

In truth, Bebe had no confidence whatsoever! This was because Linley had four major divine clones. His soul mutation would thus be impacted by four types of elemental essences. This sort of situation was very terrifying. If he was to succeedLinley would be, in the course of countless years and countless planes, the one and only person to have undergone a soul mutation with four clones.

But would he be able to endure?

Not a single person had done so in all of history!

Boss, youll definitely succeed. Definitely. Bebe murmured in his heart.

Everyone who knew Linleys situation had no confidence in Linley being able to succeed. They didnt even see Linley as having a 10% chance. Even Reisgem, Bluefire, and the others, upon learning that Linley was undergoing a soul mutation, felt their hearts sank. All they could do was to pray to the heavens and hope that Linley would struggle through.

The Yulan Plane. The Forest of Darkness. The metallic castle.

Two people were seated opposite from each other, one dressed in a long black robe, the other in a long white robe. One had drooping whiskers and small eyes; Beirut. The other had crimson eyebrows; Bluefire! The looks on the faces of both Beirut and Bluefire werent too pleased right now.

What is the situation? Is there a chance of improvement? Beirut said, frowning.

The situation is very dire. Bluefire let out a long sigh. I really dont have much faith in a soul mutation. If Linley is able to succeed, then it will be an unexpected surprise. But if he failsLinley will never be able to reach the peak again.

Beirut shook his head and sighed. I was too impatient to reach my goals.

It has nothing to do with you. Bluefire shook his head. After my original body entered the Planar Battlefield, I originally stayed quite close to Linley, but after Linley made his breakthrough, I relaxed. Who would have imagined that Magnus would suddenly appear. Alas. It was my mistake. I didnt get there in time to save him.

A hint of a bitter smile was on Beiruts face. It was so hard to encounter an appropriate person. If Bebe were to learn the truth, he would probably hate me!

This isnt your fault either. Who would have known this would be the case? Bluefire shook his head.

If my plans succeeded, Linley and Bebe would have been grateful to me. But given the current situation Beirut shook his head. Once Linleys original body and his three clones perish, then he will have lost his future potential. My plans would have completely failed as well. I will have no options but to find another suitable candidate.

Bluefire sat there, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

Beirut, dont be in a rush to render your verdict. Bluefire frowned. The results arent out yet. Linley might be able to survive this.

If he really does survive it and successfully completes his soul mutation, then this will be a major cause for celebration. Beirut lifted an eyebrow. But if Linley truly becomes a Soul Mutate, then Ill have to change my plans.

Are you saying? Bluefire was startled.

Beirut nodded slightly. Right!

Thisis this doable? Bluefire was stunned. It seems as though in the countless years of the existence of the universe, no one has ever succeeded.

Why isnt it doable! Beiruts eyes flashed with a crafty light. To be honest, if Linley were to succeed in his soul mutation, then my plans will have a high chance for success. And once we succeedI feel excited just thinking about it. If the experiment is a failure, it wont impact Linley much, nor will it impact me much, but if it is successful

Bluefires eyes revealed an eager light as well.

But of course, were just talking right now. Were just daydreaming. Beirut laughed bitterly. Its still far too early. Itll be good if Linley even manages to survive this current situation.

Right. Lets see if he can survive this! Bluefire nodded as well. Success means Linleys future prospects are limitless! Failureyou and I will have no choice but to ensure that Linleys future life will be a peaceful one. Hell never be able to rise to the top again, at the level of being able to causes tempests and waves in the world.

Nobody can help him now. Beirut nodded slightly. He will have to rely on himself!

Its too late for regrets. We have to face reality! Beiruts gaze was hard and calm. If he succeeds, his potential will be limitless. If he failsthat will not be our fault.

Time flowed on. The Planar Battlefield was very quiet, with a few rare major battles. Almost everyone was awaiting the final battles arrival.

The thirty third day of Linleys coma Reisgem and the others were gathered within the cave.

Bluefire walked out from Linleys stone room. Reisgem, Reihom, and Bebe hurriedly went to welcome him. What is it, Mr. Bluefire? Bebe was the first to ask. Bluefire glanced at them, then shook his head and said, Although the Fate-type Sovereign power of Magnus attack is gone, it used up a large amount of the energy of the Soulstone. Today, the Soulstones energy was completely used up!

Are you saying? Bebe was shocked.

From today onwards, no outside force can help Linley. Bluefire sighed. In the past, with the assistance of the Soulstone, he was able to hold on. But now that the Soulstone is unable to help himhe will have no one but himself to rely on against the soul mutation.

But the Boss soul is so weak. Will he be able to hold? Bebe was so worried, he was about to cry.

Bluefire, Reisgem, and Reihom were all silent.

Not long ago, when Bluefire had investigated Linleys soul, he discovered that during the soul mutation, Linleys soul was like a tiny flame that encountered a mighty wind time and time again. Fortunately, the black stones energy constantly replenished him, restoring energy to Linleys soul, allowing him time and time again to hold fast against the clashing powers of the soul mutation process.

Who knows? Bluefire shook his head.

The atmosphere within the cave seemed so cold, so gloomy

The thirty fifth day of Linleys coma.

Bluefire emerged from the stone room. He shook his head somewhat disbelievingly. I didnt dare believe it. Linleys soul, even without the assistance of the Soulstone, has been able to endure for three full daysbut it seems as though the process is still quite early. Who knows how long the soul mutation process will take!

Bebe, however, knew.

Originally, when Olivier had undergone the soul mutation process, he had been unconscious for multiple months. And Olivier had only two types of energy; there was no way his soul mutation could be compared to Linleys. A soul mutation involving three types of divine clones was far more complicated than Oliviers. As for a soul mutation involving four divine clones

It probably wouldnt end in just a matter of a few short months.

Bluefire and Bebe, along with Beirut, Delia, and the others in the Yulan continent, had been prepared all along, but the amount of time Linley spent in this coma surpassed their expectations.

Olivier had succeeded within a few months, but Linley would probably need several years.

Several years?

Linley remained in this comaand quite quickly, more than ten years passed.

The eighteenth year of Linleys coma.

Within the cave in the Planar Battlefield. Bluefire inspected Linley once every seven days now. Linleys long coma had caused Reisgem and Reihom to no longer be as constantly worried about Linley as they had been; they were able to calm their minds and train and rest. As for Bebe, he paid attention to Linleys situation every day..

The situation is not good. Over the past eighteen years, Linleys soul has been weakening slightly this entire time. Although hes been able to resist this entire time, the weakening process has never slowed. Bluefire said with a frown. Although Linleys soul is incredibly tenacious, and has never given up and has continued to endurehis soul is now too weak. I have the feeling that if this continues, he wont be able to last for more than three more days.

Bebes face instantly turned ashen.

Three days. Just three days. Either the situation will improve, or he will die if it does not. Lets see how things are these next three days. Bluefire said, shaking his head.

Bluefire had the feeling that eighteen years ago, if Linleys weak soul could be described as an tiny flame, then now, it was barely an ember.

He definitely will be fine. Definitely. Bebe said repeatedly.

These three days were quite hard for Bebe to endure. Originally, Bluefire thought that Linley would only be able to resist for three more days, but who would have imaginedthat despite his soul having been weakened exceedingly, he was able to hold for eighteen days. Bluefire, too, felt that this was inconceivable.

On the eighteenth day.

Bebe, come quickly, quickly. Bluefire called out.

Bebe, Reisgem, and Reihom immediately entered Linleys stone room. Bebe, terrified and nervous, looked at Bluefire. What is it? Whats going on with my Boss?

Bluefire turned his head, staring at Bebe and Reisgem in disbelief. Inconceivable. Inconceivable! Linleys soul is now beginning to strengthen. To strengthen! It is like an infant which is growing up. It is strengthening at a speed that I can palpably sense! It is growing!

Bebe, Reisgem, and Reihom had looks of amazement in their eyes.

Ahhhhhhh!!! Bebe jumped up violently, so high that his head smashed into the stone roof, so hard that several rocks were knocked loose. Bebe hurriedly stretched his hand out, moving it in a blur and preventing the stones from falling.

Wonderful, wonderful! Bebe was utterly overjoyed.

The Yulan continent. Dragonblood Castle.

Delia and Sasha were together.

Mother, is Father alright? Sasha said, rather worried. It is quite rare for Father to go into solitary meditation. Why is it that this time after he went into solitary meditation, he didnt come out?

Hes fine. Delia forced out a smile.

Linleys situation was something he and Delia had not told their children. They didnt want their children to worry.

Huh? Delia suddenly saw a figure emerge from the courtyard gate and walk towards them. It was the fire-type Linley.

Father. Sasha said hurriedly.

The fire Linley smiled and nodded, and Delia looked expectantly towards Linley. Are you done? The nearby Sasha, hearing this, was puzzled and confused.

I can sensethat things are improving. The fire Linley had a rare smile on his face. Divine clones could sense each others souls. Although the other four souls had lost consciousness, Linley was still able to sense that they still existed. Over the past eighteen years, they had constantly weakened, weakened to the point where even the fire-type soul was almost unable to sense them. But today, however, the four souls were growing stronger.

Linleys souls had been weakening for eighteen years, and were extremely fragile. Now that they began to strengthen, however, the strengthening speed was far greater than the previous weakening speed. They rapidly gained in strength.

The Planar Battlefield. The cave estate. Linleys thirty fourth year in a coma.

Mr. Leylin, why hasnt my Boss woken up yet? Bebe was rather impatient now. Bebe was now no longer too worried, because he could clearly sense how powerful Linleys soul had become. It was far greater than Linleys soul had been prior to his injury. If Linleys soul, prior to his injury, could be described as a lake of water, his soul now was a fathomlessly deep ocean.

His soul was so powerful, but Linley still didnt wake up.

Dont be impatient! Bluefire laughed. He will definitely wake up. Actually, Bluefire had a hint of worry in his heart as well. Linleys soul was already so terrifyingly great; would it actually suddenly collapse at a critical moment? No one knew what a soul mutation with four divine clones would be like.

That same point in time, within the stone room.

Outside the room, Bluefire and the others were chatting. Within the stone room, Linley lay there quietly by himself. He had already quietly lain there for thirty four years, and his body no longer had elemental essences surrounding it.

Suddenly

Linleys closed eyes

Opened!
