Chapter 1560: Chapter 1097: Level Six World Tree

"Glug, glug~"

A darker blue water sphere enveloped the ball of light. Accompanied by a slight bubbling sound, within the water sphere, the ball of light revealed the soul in the human form of Wang Yi.

A miniature figure, looking both exquisite and magical.

Wang Yi was bewildered, looking down at her own legs and touching her face, wondering, isn’t this still the same old look? Could it be that Mr. Jiang’s secret technique couldn’t help her revert to her original form?

A strong sense of loss engulfed her, and just as she was about to shed tears, she noticed more and more bubbles clustering at her feet.

"Glug, glug~"

The bubbles increased as if the water in a pot was boiling.

However, she didn’t feel heat; instead, from her feet to her legs and then to her waist, she felt an increasing sense of coolness and comfort.

"She’s changing, she’s changing!" Yun Ying exclaimed joyfully, "There’s really a fish tail appearing! But her tail looks different from a mermaid’s."

The Sea Goddess Lu Ji smiled, "A mermaid is just a small branch of the Merfolk race. Any that cultivate human form from fish and retain their tail are called merfolk. The ocean is vast, and the Otherworld is so diverse, with millions of sea tribes, so it’s no surprise what kind of merfolk she is."

Divine power gradually transformed Wang Yi from her feet upwards, and moments later, the little figure in the water sphere turned into a small golden fish with three large, silky wings on its sides and top.

[Three-winged Golden Scale Fish: A special fish native to the waters of Red Leaf Star. During the growth of this species, unrefined scales naturally shed and become red-gold, thus called golden fish; once cultivated into a demon cultivator, the naturally shed scales are a top-grade refining material known as Golden Armor Scale.

Mortals seek gold, while cultivators seek Golden Armor Scale. Caravans on Red Leaf Star aggressively catch and purchase the Three-winged Golden Scale Fish and Fish Demons throughout the year.

To preserve their lives, this species has long secluded themselves in a corner of the undersea world, striving not to reveal their true form. Occasionally, when dealing with other sea demon races, they transform into other merfolk forms to confuse others.

Young and ignorant Three-winged Golden-Scaled Fish Demons, living in a boring and restrictive environment, sometimes become rebellious and tired of their elders’ lectures and get lured ashore, facing subsequent trafficking or imprisonment.

As unfortunate as it was fortunate, after being tricked ashore, Wang Yi remained undiscovered due to her long-term disguise and was trafficked as an ordinary mermaid rather than imprisoned to death...]

Jiang Yuan quickly skimmed through the details, feeling quite mixed.

Life is impermanent. It was indeed a fortune amidst misfortune that the deception did not result in exposure but was followed by relentless trafficking, enduring endless hardships, ultimately resulting in her soul being extracted, placed into a puppet, and her memory sealed for years.

No wonder her soul didn’t even know its original form, having to disguise itself since childhood; truly, having a treasure leads to trouble.

"Looks like a fish made of gold, really beautiful!" Yun Ying sincerely praised.

The Sea Goddess Lu Ji nodded, shaking her head, "Certainly not from the undersea world I govern, this is a very special type of fish."

Jiang Yuan sighed lightly, "It’s a pity there’s no true body. The Three-winged Golden Scale Fish is from the waters of Red Leaf Star, their scales are excellent refining materials, thus they are heavily hunted, having to learn to disguise themselves from a young age."

Wang Yi, hearing this, hurriedly asked, "Mr. Jiang, have you been to Red Leaf Star? Then, then might I have a chance to..."

Before finishing her sentence, she was stunned. Without a body, how long could her soul survive?

Even if she could return to Red Leaf Star, so what? She could only blame herself for being so foolishly lured ashore in her youth. Would her family or friends even remember her?

"I don’t have the blueprints, and can’t refine merfolk puppets." Yun Ying’s face was full of regret.

Lu Ji also shook her head, saying, "If you want a matching body, it’s not available in my undersea world. However, I can create a temporary body for you.

The downside is: due to the lack of a Life Origin, this temporary body housing the soul would break after three or four months; the advantage is: I can help you mold any body style you think of, but you’d need to stay by my side.

Otherwise, once the body breaks and can’t be replaced in time, it would only take a few days for your soul to scatter."

"I am willing to follow the senior!" Wang Yi thought, does this require consideration? Changing into a new form every now and then, following such a seemingly powerful senior, is far better than daydreaming in the Dream Realm waiting to die.

Perhaps, there might be a chance to see the senior’s undersea world.

The bubbles continued to gurgle in the water sphere, and after a moment, the little golden fish turned into a beautiful mermaid with a golden tail, arms, and three flowing silk wings growing from her back.

"This is your true appearance. If you like, I’ll mold you in this form." The Sea Goddess Lu Ji admired, especially fond of the Three-winged Golden-Scaled Fish Demon.

Yun Ying listened enviously, thinking, no wonder she’s a god, able to mold bodies so effortlessly.

Jiang Yuan then asked, "Sis, can the body you mold carry a Life Origin?"

He thought, if it could be gifted, the sibling duo could be a production line for Nuwa! The sister molds bodies, while he bestows Life Origins, creating life out of thin air as long as they have enough balance!

However, Lu Ji said with regret, "Of course not, I don’t possess the mighty divine power of Lady Nuwa, able to create real beings with mere molding. I can only use divine power to create a vessel that carries the soul, unable to cultivate or use much magic. Once the divine power fades, it can’t be used anymore.

To bear a Life Origin, there must be a physical entity with flesh and blood. Whether it’s a condensed avatar or ghost cultivators with bodies, they all have flesh and blood. What I create from nothing does not."
