Treecorpses weren’t that different froeneration withered The majority had human forms with some wooden parts Of course, there was a clear distinction A treecorpse’s wooden parts were natural unlike the withered that have undergone a change from flesh to wood

For example, a withered’s wooden arm looked very stiff, as if it had been e that was a part of its body

This wasn’t the case for treecorpses Their wooden ar branches — full of life and very natural

Xiaoxiao thought of a particular question and asked Li Qiye while watching the groups of corpses enter the valley: “What are the differences between treecorpses and second generation withered?”

“Nothing in terht be dead, but from another perspective, they aren’t really corpses Their bodies still have a hint of life in theeneration withered and a treecorpse Look at their eyes, the ones without life belong to the treecorpses”

With his reminder, she carefully looked and found that the eyes of the treecorpses were different They were hollow as if nothing was there; a pair of eyes engulfed by death energy Logically speaking, only corpses would have this type of energy

She : “They don’t have a soul!”

She had never seen a second generation withered before After all, the probability of e Moreover, rueneration withered were heavily protected, so outsiders couldn’t see them

“Yes, they don’t have a soul” Li Qiye nodded: “People say that the eyes are s to the mind One just needs to look at the eyes to see if a soul is present For example, why is it that animated skeletons have red eyes? That’s their soul flaht have a body that isn’t too different from the other races The issue is that they do not have souls Without souls, there is no need to talk about bloodlines and reproduction, they are onlycorpses”

She had to ask: “Why are they born with a body but no soul?”

Li Qiye seneration withered These first generation withered are born fro root in the brain that eventually turns into a soul Despite possessing this type of soul, they still can’t be considered a complete form of life, they’re merely a near-dead existence Because of this, the odds of producing offspring with souls are negligible”

She conte of how the withered handle birth and transformations It made it clear just how difficult it was to start a new race

“The same phrase applies, life creation is the business of the heavens It is i a body Like many cultivators, a body can be rebuilt, but if the true fate is destroyed, that will be certain death One would have nothing without their true fate since it is impossible to rebuild because they’re not the heavens! There is no way to reshape the true fate because this is sos to the realm of life creation” Li Qiye had a rare, sole her head It was a bit too early for her to think about this topic Normally, only characters of the Ie” Li Qiyethe valley

Her wits returned from contemplation and she curiously asked: “What’s the matter?”

He stared at the valley and replied: “This place probably isn’t a lair”

“Why? Don’t treecorpses like to gather? There arehere at the ently shook his head: “No, treecorpses are different from the withered They are the favorite children of the Divine Tree Ridge and can take root anywhere here even without souls They are infinitely connected to the ridge, so they can stay in their lair forever without co out, unless someone attacks them Once a lair is formed, the members could stay there until death This is one of the reasons why lairs are so difficult to find Under normal circumstances, treecorpses won’t leave their lairs unless the lairs are destroyed or are under heavy attack But now, this e” He began to speculate after seeing this
