Chapter 527: Chapter 311: Reaction and the Rebirth of the True Son

Kyoto.

Night.

After resolving the incident with the woman in white, the videotape was completely ruined, unable to even play the most basic content.

Zhou Li returned the video player while also intending to throw the videotape away in a remote place.

Although the woman in white had been successfully dealt with.

The chilling scene still lingered in his mind.

It was best to throw something like this as far away as possible.

Thus.

Under the cover of night.

With a cautious and meticulous heart.

Zhou Li went far from the Eagle Body Sect, planning to find a deserted place to toss the broken videotape fragments.

“It’s fine if you yourself want to run so far away in the middle of the night.”

“But do you have to drag me along?”

Chen Sheng followed behind, speechless.

“Kid, you don’t understand.”

Zhou Li shook his head with the black plastic bag in hand.

It was nothing like the “heart-pounding fear” he mentioned before they left.

“In life, you have to be careful in everything.”

“Honestly, you were a bit reckless just now.”

“What if you couldn’t handle that woman in white? You would’ve capsized in the sewer.”

“Do you know what a seasoned veteran like me would do?”

Perhaps because he hadn’t spent time with Chen Sheng like this in a long time.

Or perhaps as one grows older, one becomes increasingly long-winded.

“What would you do?”

Chen Sheng asked.

“Move house.”

Chen Sheng looked up at the sky.

Feeling that his question was pointless.

“Don’t doubt me, kid.”

“Otherwise, do you think I could’ve lived to be this old?”

As they spoke.

The two gradually grew distant.

At first, Chen Sheng was listening to Zhou Li.

But gradually, he seemed lost in thought and appeared to be daydreaming.

In reality,

He was conversing with Xiao Hei in his consciousness.

“So, you can create something similar to that woman in white now?”

“Correct.”

Xiao Hei was telling Chen Sheng about his gains from absorbing the woman in white.

In the woman in white’s body, he sensed the same aura as Xiao Hei.

According to Xiao Hei, it was like another clone of himself, or a part of his body.

But their powers were different, and their consciousnesses did not communicate with each other.

They could only sense each other’s existence when one wasn’t concealing their aura.

After devouring her,

Xiao Hei’s change wasn’t simply an improvement in his existing abilities,

But rather, he gained a new ability.

An ability called mimicry.

As the name suggests,

With enough energy, Xiao Hei could separate a part of his body and mimic most people and objects, sometimes even making them better than the original.

For example,

If Chen Sheng asked Xiao Hei to simulate a peerless treasure sword,

Then,

The sword Xiao Hei created would not only be sharper and stronger,

But he could also grant the mimic sword new abilities.

For example, allowing the sword to absorb the enemy’s flesh and spiritual power to benefit its wielder,

Or change its thickness and size according to the wielder’s will.

The strength of the abilities Xiao Hei could grant depended on how much energy he had when he separated that part of his body.

With enough energy and a little bit of raw materials, Xiao Hei could even create entirely new, life-like objects,

Like the woman in white they had encountered previously.

Upon hearing Xiao Hei’s explanation,

Chen Sheng’s first reaction was surprise.

In his view,

This ability would be better called creation than mimicry.

According to Xiao Hei,

If he had enough energy, he could even create a brand-new Chen Sheng.

This wasn’t mimicry,

It was an ability akin to that of a god of creation.

Chen Sheng voiced his doubts.

“That’s not the case.”

Xiao Hei calmly answered,

It seemed that after devouring the so-called “clone”,

His speech had become much clearer and was no longer as stammering as before.

“According to my calculations, with my current ability, to create a 100% powerful version of you, I would need about 1000…”

“….000 souls to create.”

Xiao Hei repeated the same pronunciation like a robot.

Chen Sheng didn’t bother to count how many zeros Xiao Hei had said,

But the overall implication,

Was that even if he killed all the humans on the planet, it still wouldn’t be enough.

“What if you absorbed more clones like that, would the requirements be lowered?”

Chen Sheng pondered with a thoughtful expression.

“I’m not sure.”

Up until tonight,

Xiao Hei hadn’t even known there was another “him” in the world,

So naturally, he wouldn’t know what would happen if he continued to absorb more.

“With my current power and energy, I can create, at most, a basic version of you.”

The so-called energy, though somewhat complicated,

It was actually the mixture of various things Xiao Hei had been devouring on a daily basis.

There was Chen Sheng’s Power of Thunder,

There were other peoples’ souls,

However,

The most significant part,

Were the mysterious energies contained within certain Heavenly Person Cells.

The exact composition was unknown to Xiao Hei,

He only instinctively craved this kind of power.

Each time he absorbed it, Xiao Hei would transfer the strengthening part of the soul to Chen Sheng,

While the remaining part was kept in his own body.

Up until now,

After several absorptions, Xiao Hei had accumulated a considerable amount of energy within him,

But, to create a pseudo-life form based on Chen Sheng, it still seemed like trying to put out a fire with a teacup of water.

However,
