Levi could not bear the consequences.
Even if the Tower Master did not blame him, Levi would still feel guilty if he failed.
The Tower Master seemed to have expected Levi to reject his request. He explained, “The Seven Days Soul Returning Grass only increases the chances of reviving my wife. It’s not guaranteed to be helpful, nor is it necessary. Don’t feel pressured. Moreover, we don’t know if the Seven Days Soul Returning Grass is still in the secret realm. After all, 200 years have passed. Some transcendent creatures in the secret realm might have already eaten it.
“I have something more important to do. I’ve been in seclusion for the past few years and studied the School of Death’s inheritance that I obtained from Harland. A few days ago, I grasped the method to enter Hell.
“I came out of seclusion because of this. I will enter Hell soon to seek out another thing, the Red Spider Lily. With this, I have a greater chance of using the knowledge I have learned from the various factions over the past 200 years to summon my wife’s soul from the legendary Underworld.
“I’ve already made her an alchemy body and prepared a soul box to store her soul. We can reunite as long as I summon her soul from the Underworld!”
The more the Tower Master spoke, the more excited he became. He rolled around on the ground and circled Levi. Then, he showed Levi the alchemy body he had made for his wife.
It was another ball, a much smaller ball. Sitting next to the Tower Master, the ball was like the moon revolving around the Earth.
Levi thought to himself, “Why is the Tower Master’s taste so unique? Why does he like balls so much?”
Even if the Tower Master’s wife were resurrected, she would probably be dissatisfied with the body that the Tower Master had refined for her.
Regardless, since the Tower Master had already said so, Levi could not reject him.
“After resurrecting my wife, I might go to the Star Sea with her. I will let you be the Tower Master then if you want. Hehehe.” The Tower Master laughed.
“Tower Master, you must be joking. I’m not suited for the position.” Levi had no intention of taking on such a heavy burden.
However, he still had a question.
Levi asked doubtfully, “Tower Master, even high-level wizards might be unable to summon souls from the Underworld. This might be a field that only Grand
Wizards or even Legendary Wizards can dabble in. Are you sure you can do so?”
The Tower Master said, “I can’t summon souls from the Underworld. The legendary Underworld is on the same level as the Astral World. The powerful existences there are not weaker than the gods. How can I summon my wife from the endless Underworld Source River with my meager knowledge and power? Even if I have the Seven Days Soul Returning Grass and the Red Spider Lily, it won’t work. However, my wife’s soul is unique.”
The Tower Master took out a seal seemingly encased in amber from his chest.
In the amber was a damaged brain.
When Levi looked at the brain, it was still trembling slightly, which was extremely strange.
The Tower Master explained, “This is my wife’s brain. After she was killed, I picked up her head cut off by the enemy and collected her brain inside. I sealed it in this container made of special materials. I originally wanted to keep it only as a memento, but after so many years, I realized that her brain was still trembling slightly. For the brain of a person who had died long ago to have a brain that still trembled after so many years, this undoubtedly shocked me.
“After some in-depth research, I discovered that there is actually a wisp of my wife’s remnant soul in this brain. According to the definition of many scholars in the School of Death, as long as the soul isn’t dead, the person isn’t dead. Therefore, to a certain extent, my wife is still alive. She has a wisp of her soul left here.
“After observing for 100 years, I discovered that the soul fluctuations of her brain were getting weaker and weaker. It was like a candle flame in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.
“If her soul is extinguished, I must become a Legendary Wizard with the power and qualifications to speak to the Underworld to enter and find my wife’s lost soul in the Underworld Source River. Otherwise, no one will be able to summon her.
“Therefore, I can’t wait any longer. Regardless of whether I succeed or not, I have to give it a try.
“I now have clues about the Seven Days Soul Returning Grass and the Red Spider Lily. With these two natural wonders and the help of my most respected teacher, Salman, I feel that I have a high chance of succeeding.
“It is extremely rare for someone to leave a remnant soul after death. Prior to one becoming a high-level wizard and obtaining a primordial soul, the death of a person’s physical body meant that the soul had to leave the living world and enter the Underworld.
“The soul could only stay in the living world for a short period of seven minutes. I believe that my wife might have some kind of undiscovered second talent or extraordinary physique. Otherwise, such a situation would not have happened. No one can forcefully retain the soul of a dead person.
“Therefore, perhaps I have a chance to do something unprecedented, like summoning a soul!”
The Tower Master became more excited as he spoke. His entire spherical body was trembling, emitting a buzzing sound of steam. He had prepared for this day for too long.
Levi pondered. He felt that there was something else that could retain a soul in the living world in another form..
