Chapter 887 - The Soul Power Issue

"Peaceful relations?" Malo could not help but ask with a shocked expression. "I'm sorry, Elder Rean. However, I don't think such a thing is possible. Humans hate Zasfins way too much for that."

He then continued, "That wouldn't be a big problem if it was just the Freedom Sect's old members since we weren't exactly ill-treated. Until the day they used our souls to produce Soul Stones, we had comfortable lives. However, the rest of the humans definitely hate them way too much."

Rean nodded in agreement as he said, "I know. That's why I'm saying that this would just be a start. Generations will come and go, and their descendants won't end up like their parents. If no one breaks the agreement, our human race has a thousand years of peace, which should be enough to change the situation. The same thing could be said for the Zasfins since only those who surpass the Nascent Soul Realm would remember the past. Not to mention that even if these people are still alive, holding a grudge for a thousand years isn't exactly that easy."

Rean also added, "Of course, that doesn't mean we won't be prepared. I'll keep working on the communication system to help out with that. Our objective won't change regardless of whether we can get on good terms or not.

Fizer, who had just been listening by the side, decided to say his piece. "As someone who lived outside the Zasfin territories, I can't say much for the human slaves from there. After all, my entire life was mostly spent inside the Demon Beast Continent. However, I do think Rean has a point. I've been around for over two thousand years already, after all."

Julia didn't care too much about it, though. "As long as my female disciples don't get harmed, I don't care. I've also lived most of my life in the Demon Beast Continent, so I don't have that hatred against Zasfins as the ex-slaves do. In fact, I wouldn't mind trying to have a few female Zasfin disciples under my wing. It might be quite interesting."

Roan finally decided to talk. "The issue here is that everyone knows about the humans being used as sacrifices for the Soul Marks. Although the Zasfins sent the humans to Wringan Continent, it's no secret that they definitely kept a few for future use. Once those ones die, what will they do? I'm not idiotic enough to believe they would give up using the Soul Marks anymore, even if Duran said that they should stop relying on it."

Sure enough, a way to resolve this problem would be the main issue. A peaceful existence would never come as long as those formations exist.

It was then that Rean suggested an idea. "We just need to make sure that the human soul can't be used for sacrifice anymore, right?" Everyone's attention was piqued after hearing that as they waited for Rean to continue. "In that case, I do have an idea."

"You do?"

Rean nodded, saying, "In fact, it isn't anything hard to accomplish. With a thousand years ahead of us, I'm certain we can make all the humans in Wringan Continent become unsuitable for that."

Even Roan was intrigued by those words, prompting him to ask, "How?"

Rean then explained, "Do you know why Zasfins can't use other Zasfins to become Soul Sacrifices?"

Roan nodded as he was also there when they found about it. "It's because of their high Soul Power. Their race's trait with high Soul Power makes it too difficult to convert their Souls into Soul Marks. Chances are that the Zasfins trying to convert another Zasfin Soul into a Soul Mark will receive a backlash and possibly die."

Roan had hit the mark. If that wasn't the case, the Zasfins would probably prefer other Zasfin Souls. After all, their Souls were stronger, which meant better Soul Marks. Unfortunately for them, it wasn't possible even after thousands of years of using the Bloodline Soul Mark Formations.

Naturally, everyone understood what Rean wanted to do after Roan explained the issues with Zasfins' Soul Marks. "Wait! Are you saying that you intend to increase the Soul Power of all humans in Wringan Continent?"

Rean nodded as he said in response, "Yes. Not only that, I'll make it so that having high Soul Power is a hereditary power. Well, I don't even need to do that. Once a human acquires a high enough level of Soul Power, their descendants will naturally inherit it as well."

Qia couldn't help but ask after hearing that, "How do you know that?"

Rean then pointed at Malaka's belly as he explained, "As I mentioned before, Soul Power has a lot to do with Life Force. For me, who has an affinity with Light Element, it's easy to feel anyone's Soul Power. Malaka's baby is already quite big inside her belly, with its brain formed. Although weak, I can already tell that he has naturally high Soul Power."

Everyone was shocked to hear that, but Rean didn't feel a need for that. "You guys shouldn't be that surprised. Have you forgotten? Hybrids of humans and Zasfins also have Soul Power. Naturally, those half-humans and half-Zasfins inherited Soul Power from Zasfins."

"But those guys have Zasfin bloodlines. It's different from a baby coming from humans."

Rean couldn't help but laugh after that as he continued, "Hahaha! How come? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the Zasfins are nothing more than an evolution of the human race. Nothing more, nothing less."

Except for Rean's group, those words dropped like a nuclear bomb on everyone's head.

"What?!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Impossible!"

In the end, Rean had to spend some time explaining why both Zasfins and humans were two branches of the same race. Of course, some still found it hard to believe, even though Rean did his best trying to make it easy to understand. "Anyway, you just need to understand that this is the truth."

Rean then continued, "That's why now that Agis and Malaka have high Soul Power, their kid inherited it. Their kid, obviously, won't ever become material for Bloodline Soul Marks. The Zasfins would need to be suicidal to try it."

Nevertheless, the main question still remained. "That's good and all. However, we obtained our high Soul Power because of the Soul Marks. How are you going to increase everyone's Soul Power without it?"

Rean smiled after hearing that.
