But he still felt somewhat disappointed...
If this method is not feasible, then after completing some tasks.
The only option left was to go back to Nata, a place I had once frequented...
This was his original plan, because of the matter of removing the souls of his comrades.
Nata had more important things to do personally.
"But...out of some respect I have for you, I've decided to help you."
"There was no cost involved; I just wanted to help you, so I did it."
Qiu Nian opened her eyes and saw a faint smile on her face as she looked at the somewhat disappointed captain beside her.
"Thank you..."
The captain was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and after realizing what was happening, he thanked him in a complicated tone.
"Don't rush to thank me."
"With my current strength, I cannot completely solve your problem."
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, a white aura emanated from his body.
The aura also carried a few faint traces of red.
This suffocating power shocked the captain.
Then, Qiu Nian stretched out a hand and aimed it at the captain's heart.
Countless transparent white lights emerged from the captain's heart.
It was absorbed by Qiu Nian.
But at that moment, countless miserable and painful cries mingled together.
It emanated from these white lights.
After absorbing the energy, Qiu Nian looked at the ball of light in her hand, composed of countless souls, and sighed softly.
"There is still a soul in your heart that is unwilling to leave."
Qiu Nian looked at the captain in front of him who had just exhaled and spoke.
"It should be Gutherred..."
Upon hearing this, the captain first read out a name, then shook his head at Qiu Nian.
"Come with me."
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, the same aura as Qiu Nian emerged from the captain.
The two then disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they were in a strange valley.
However, the land below this valley is shrouded in mist.
The sunlight was so bright that it made it impossible to see what was happening above.
There are also some stone buildings around.
In the distance, you can vaguely see some souls talking about something.
"This is the boundary between life and death at Wuwang Slope. Follow me."
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, he left the spirits that had originally existed there and continued walking forward.
The original souls here were far away from them.
So Qiu Nian and the captain were not seen.
"Wuwang Slope..."
The captain was somewhat shocked when he heard the name.
What kind of ability is this...?
In just a moment, such a vast distance was traversed...
"The boundary between life and death..."
"I visited this land of souls many years ago, but unfortunately I didn't find anything."
"I never imagined such a place existed in the world..."
The captain followed behind Qiu Nian, looking around at the fairy-tale-like environment, feeling quite astonished.
So... where exactly is this so-called boundary between life and death on Wuwang Slope?
He spent a whole month investigating the area.
Aside from discovering that there are some souls here.
There is no such place at all.
After walking for a long time, Qiu Nian stopped.
He closed his eyes slightly, holding a ball of light composed of countless souls in one hand, and extended his other hand.
An extremely intense light exploded in his hand.
The valley behind us receded into the distance at an incredible speed.
Almost instantly, the valley behind us was no longer visible.
What was finally presented to Qiu Nian and the captain was...
It was a place where the ground was covered in clouds and mist, and no matter which direction you looked, it was an endless expanse.
"So that the souls of your comrades will not disturb the original souls of this place."
“I have created another space here.”
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, he gently waved the hand holding the ball of light.
Countless souls were scattered here.
Simple human figures formed and floated here.
Unlike the other souls with complete human forms in Wuwangpo.
These souls are so fragile that they cannot even retain their original appearance from their previous life.
It can only form simple human silhouettes.
Chapter 67 Qiu Nian, who agreed to the captain's request
"I can feel it..."
"These days, they're practically no different from being left in the wild..."
The captain looked at the densely packed souls before him.
He didn't seem to think this was helpful to him.
Qiu Nian chuckled softly upon hearing this.
Then, with a flick of his finger, he created a tiny hole in the space.
A trace of ley line power began to emerge from the tiny cavity.
Like a gentle breeze, it brushed past these souls.
These souls seemed to sense something.
They began to move closer to the tiny cavities where the earth's vein power was emerging.
Seeing this, Qiu Nian sighed softly.
"The number of these souls is too great; this place is the boundary between life and death."
"But it only preserves the souls of some Liyue people who are obsessed with something."
“These souls will leave once they let go of their obsessions, voluntarily dissipating into this world and merging into the earth’s veins.”
"So it won't consume much of the earth's ley line power here."
"But these souls are different. Their souls have been corrupted by the abyss, are broken and battered, and still have an obsession with pursuing instinct."
"And how can one let go if one relies on instinct as an obsession..."
"They are not accepted by the ley lines, and as they slowly deplete their last bit of soul power, they will truly disappear."
Even if they're in your heart, the outcome will be the same...
"So I opened up the space I created, leaving a tiny opening."
"Let a little bit of the earth's ley line power from the boundary between life and death flow in, to sustain and slightly nourish these souls."
Looking at the densely packed souls before her, Qiu Nian slowly began to explain.
Upon hearing this, the captain watched in silence as the souls drew closer to the tiny opening.
"Could the opening...be made any bigger?"
The captain clenched his hands, asking with a hint of hope.
Over time, he could feel the gentleness of this deity.
He knew that his behavior was pushing his luck...
This was clearly the best solution he had encountered in hundreds of years...
But he... still wanted to fight for better space for these fallen soldiers.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian immediately rejected the captain's request.
"Under these circumstances, how can I allow them to remain here for another six years..."
"Because once more than six years have passed, the effect of maintaining the soul's power at the boundary between life and death will be affected."
"If the cave entrance were larger, the time they could stay here would be greatly reduced."
Qiu Nian looked at the captain in front of her and began to explain.
