Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 1081 Absorbing Divine Soul

Ultimately, after some discussion, the five girls decided that Nangong Qiuyue, Yuli, and Yezi would absorb this power.

Ye Ge stopped asking them for their reasons.

Anyway, it was their own decision.

"The process of absorbing a soul may be a bit painful."

Ye Ge looked at the three girls who were already in position and said, "You'll have to be patient."

Nangong Qiuyue, Yu Li, and Ye Zi sat in turn on specially designed scientific instrument chairs. An invisible restraint device formed a force field around them to ensure the stability of the process.

A serene blue energy flowed silently across the control panel, precisely maneuvered by Gao Shenxue, casting a cold, azure glow on the screen. A faint metallic and energetic aura permeated the air, along with an undeniable tension.

"Okay." Nangong Qiuyue took a deep breath.

Ye Ge looked at Gao Shenxue: "Xue'er, thank you for your help."

Gao Shenxue nodded slightly, and then began to operate the control panel in front of her.

"I need to give you a physical examination first to confirm the risk of your bodies and souls absorbing divine souls."

The girl's fair fingers danced rapidly across the cold control panel, producing crisp tapping sounds.

Soon, the panel attribute data for the three people appeared.

[Nangong Qiuyue: Risk Index - 1 star (3.15%)]

[Yu Li: Risk Index - 1 star (2.82%)]

[Leaf: Risk Index - 1 star (2.88%)]

"Real-time data is stable, and the risk level is confirmed to be normal." Gao Shenxue's cold voice was as precise as the instrument itself. "However, even if it's only 3%, once you're infected, it's 100%. So, during the absorption process, if you feel anything is wrong, you must tell me. Otherwise, you will suffer a backlash and be annihilated."

“I…I understand…”

The three women held their breath, staring intently at the deep blue data stream and the cursor representing their own status, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Takayuki pressed the start button.

Li Shuying and Bai Qing, watching from the side, also looked nervous.

"Om-"

The massive instruments on both sides of the laboratory simultaneously emitted a deep charging hum, and the complex energy-conducting pipes instantly lit up with a ghostly blue light, as if they had been injected with life.

A powerful energy, like an awakened torrent, surged and converged along a meticulously designed path, its target the center of the control panel—

There, the fist-sized, dark blue divine soul suddenly erupted with a dazzling, almost all-consuming light!

The immense divine energy was precisely diverted and restrained by the instrument, transforming into three torrents of energy that simultaneously poured into Nangong Qiuyue, Yu Li, and Ye Zi!

"ah......!!!"

"Uhhhhhh-!!!"

The three women endured the pain and tried their best to adapt to the powerful energy entering their bodies.

......

The whole process went fairly smoothly.

Yu Li, Nangong Qiuyue, and Ye Zi all successfully absorbed the divine soul of the Water Spirit Priest.

At this moment, a misty, dark blue divine energy swirled around the three girls, just like when Ye Ge first gained control of the divine power.

"This is... divine power?" Yu Li stared blankly at her hands.

Ye Ge looked at the three girls and smiled: "Now, you all have the ability to control divine power, and the strength of the divine power you can control should be comparable to that of a level ten divine mage."

"However, although you absorbed the soul of the Water Spirit Priest, you may not have awakened Water Spirit divine power. You will have to discover which realm's divine power you possess on your own. The rest is up to you to go back and practice properly, and it will depend on your talent."

"No problem!" Ye Zi clenched her little fist and said happily, "I will definitely learn to master this power as soon as possible, and then I can help Lord Ye Ge like Sister Xue'er and Sister Yao Yao!"

Ye Ge smiled softly.

Xia Xiyao was still asleep in bed, not yet awake.

So, apart from Gao Shenxue, the other girls didn't plan to stay and disturb them any longer, and prepared to go back to cultivate on their own.

"Shuying, Baiqing, wait a moment," Yege called out.

Li Shuying and Bai Qing stopped and turned around.

Ye Ge squeezed Gao Shenxue's hand and whispered, "I'll see them off and be right back."

Gao Shenxue looked into his eyes with her clear gaze and said, "Mmm." Then she leaned in and whispered in Ye Ge's ear, "I'm waiting for Ye Ge to come back and give me a reward."

"..."

Ye Ge, Li Shuying, and Bai Qing went to another room together.

"Lord Yege, is there anything else?" Li Shuying asked.

Ye Ge smiled slightly: "Don't you feel a little regretful for not becoming a divine mage?"

“No…nothing…”

Li Shuying shook her head: "I believe my talent and potential are inferior to Yu Li and the others. Even if I were to absorb their souls, there might be a risk of damage to my own soul."

"Hehe, you don't need to be dishonest in front of me."

"..."

Li Shuying lowered her head, raised her hand and made a gesture, looking slightly dejected, and said softly, "That's a little bit..."

"Mainly, I feel my abilities are too insignificant to be of any help to you, sir, so..."

Ye Ge glanced at Bai Qing again.

Bai Qing pouted and muttered, "Of course, a tiny bit. Who doesn't want to become stronger?"

"Becoming stronger isn't that difficult."

Ye Ge spread out his right hand, palm up, and slowly opened his five fingers.

In his palm floated an ancient demonic character, emitting a dark red demonic light.

"This is...?" Li Shuying and Bai Qing were both slightly taken aback, their expressions showing curiosity.

“A demonic rune,” Night Song said.
