Chapter 2450: Being Honest
Zu An shook his head. “They're already dead. They merely appear to be alive due to the death energy’s alterations.”
The Mermaid Queen’s heart sank. It saddened her to see such brave garrison troops dying just like that.
“But I can seal them with my secret art. When they're finally freed, they can be reincarnated into the place most suited for them,” Zu An said.
“Reincarnated?” The Mermaid Queen was taken aback. “Does reincarnation truly exist in the world? Can it be controlled?”
“There's a way to do it. I've met them in the future.” Zu An also didn’t want these warriors to die just like that, so he'd devised a way for them to have a better future.
Unfortunately, he had lost his connection with the underworld, so he wasn’t sure where they would reincarnate if they died now. It also didn’t help that the underworld was currently under the control of the ‘monsters’ they had suppressed for many years. It was unlikely that the monsters would give them a good new life. So, he had to wait for the future to come, when he gained control over the underworld, before giving them their final release so he could plan their reincarnation. This would also close the loop for this piece of history.
The Mermaid Queen was both stunned and delighted to hear that Zu An would meet the garrison troops in the future. She was no longer opposed to it, though she was still a little worried. “How do we seal them?”
Zu An retrieved some materials from the Brilliant Glass Bead. “I’ll need your help.”
The special materials scraped from the Monster World and the resources brought from the Cultivation World he'd been in before going on this journey would be enough to craft the seal. Additionally, when Zu An thought about the stone sculptures the garrison troops were trapped inside in the future, there seemed to be a sealing method in the Baopu Sutra that could achieve a similar effect.
