Chapter 1575: Life Fruits
As the Spirit Eye Underworld King hunched over, his black eyes were fixed on the chasm in the ground and his withered face formed a smirk. "Do you want to know?"
Qin Jiujie indifferently replied, "If you don't want to speak, then so be it."
The Spirit Eye Underworld King smiled mirthlessly. "Now that you're an Underworld King of the Origin Reversion Institute, this is naturally a secret you're entitled to know about. You've been dispatched here by the Honored Lords to reap the fruits of our labor. The fruits I'm referring to are what we have termed 'Life Fruits.'"
"Life Fruits? What are they?" Qin Jiujie frowned. This was a term he had never heard before. Even the ancient records he had once perused had never mentioned these objects.
"Life Fruits are created through the reaping of lives. When a living creature dies, its life aura leaves the body and merges with the heavens and the earth. However, with the Origin Reversion Institute's special methods, we can capture it, condense it, and accumulate it to the point that it forms a fruit-like object. Thus, we have named it the Life Fruit," the Spirit Eye Underworld King explained with a merciless and cold tone.
Qin Jiujie revealed a look of surprise as he mused, "It's no wonder the Origin Reversion Institute has constantly caused numerous Other Disasters and wiped out the living without exception. It was all for the sake of gathering life force to be refined into Life Fruits?"
The Spirit Eye Underworld King screeched happily, "The Others require the negative emotions that result from such extinction events to breed, and life aura is useless to them. Thus, cooperating with us is a match made in heaven."
"What is the Origin Reversion Institute trying to do with so many Life Fruits?" Qin Jiujie asked.
The Spirit Eye Underworld King fell silent for a few moments before replying, "It's to allow the President to awaken."
