Chapter 388 Calling x Awakening
```
The moment the sensation of searing heat swept over him, Xu Yi didn't feel discomfort, but rather like a weary person soaked in a warm spring, he drifted into sleep.
This was the prelude to the soul's impending evolution after devouring the realm spirit Freddie.
Xu Yi knew that he would soon fall into a deep sleep, so he needed to hurry.
Whether it was Oss's twisted face or the spine-chilling moths of Isoson, at this moment, they all seemed very dim, as the divine light from the Gate of Truth continuously washed over them.
This way, the difficulty of Xu Yi devouring them could also be reduced.
Xu Yi controlled the charred corpse, approached Oss, and opened its mouth wide, resembling a snake, and swallowed Oss in one bite.
A look of agony appeared on Oss's face, but he wasn't able to wake up and remained immersed in the dream world woven by the Ice Crystal of lost souls.
The burning sensation in his abdomen grew stronger and stronger, feeling as if there was a ball of charcoal rolling inside, and Xu Yi's drowsiness intensified.
He hurriedly controlled the charred corpse to approach Isoson, intending to repeat the same trick. Just as Isoson was about to be devoured, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Xu Yi was startled. Isoson wasn't like Freddie; if the other awakened, Xu Yi certainly wouldn't be able to deal with him.
But he quickly let out a sigh of relief as Isoson's eyes were lifeless, merely exhibiting a "stress response."
The opponent also failed to break free from the illusionary realm. If the Baptism of the Gate of Truth were so easily overcome, that would be really absurd.
The charred corpse swallowed Isoson in one bite.
The heat spread throughout his entire body, and he felt as if he had plunged into scorching hot magma, becoming so drowsy he could no longer keep his eyes open.
Jason stood on the desolate boundary, with divine light continuously washing over his body.
Xu Yi had no time to care whether the Gate of Truth could kill Jason; he forced himself to stay alert and rushed toward the golden vortex.
He had to leave the Gate of Truth before falling completely unconscious.
A safe place was required for the soul's evolution, and clearly, the present circumstance was not suitable.
Xu Yi controlled the charred corpse and crashed into the golden vortex, returning to the original spot.

With Isoson devoured and the Soul Space dissipated, he appeared directly inside Isoson's body, yet he even lacked the strength to break free.
An overwhelming wave of sleepiness hit him, and he could no longer resist it and fell into a deep sleep.
The Gate of Truth slowly closed and then vanished, leaving only the vast Black Abyss and the large, slowly undulating body of the gray lantern moth, with the Kingdom of Sorrow and Amusement City rotating around it.
Xu Yi hadn't completely lost consciousness, rather he fell into a state of semi-consciousness.
He felt as if he'd fallen into a gigantic dye vat, filled with filthy dye. Those dyes sought to taint his soul with different colors.
These dyes were in fact the lingering soul imprints, whether from Oss, Isoson, or Freddie, their soul imprints weren't so easily erased.
Xu Yi had to face these soul imprints if he wanted to devour them.
These soul imprints had strong contaminating properties. Being contaminated might not lead to possession, but could likely cause a series of symptoms including mental fragmentation.
A transparent crystal bobbed in the large dye vat yet remained untainted by any filth.
Following the Divine Transition, Xu Yi's Soul Crystallization emerged. The "Immortal Purity" feature it acquired, quite simply, saved his life!
Without this feature, Xu Yi wouldn't have dared to so boldly devour the souls of the three.
Xu Yi's soul was growing stronger and constantly undergoing metamorphosis.
......
Amusement City.
Handon lay on the grass, with a blade of grass in his mouth, bored and aimlessly looking up at the sky.
```
Ever since Freddie disappeared, these miners no longer had to work at the risk of their lives, but there was also no way to leave, as this place was like a huge cage.
Before, one could still see the enormous moth bodies in the void, but as time passed, the moth bodies gradually wore away and scattered, and now only a "sun" remained, hanging silently in the sky.
The "sun" was originally black, like a coal sphere, but gradually, the coal sphere began to become transparent, and now over half has turned into a crystal ball.
It was at this moment that a meteor flew out from the "sun," speeding towards Amusement City.
Handon leaped up from the ground swiftly.
This was the first time such a thing had happened, but generally speaking, the chances of something bad happening were much greater than that of anything good.
The meteor fell straight in front of him, with dazzling light bursting forth; yet at the moment of landing, it caused no disturbance whatsoever.
As the light faded, Handon saw the figure within the light and exclaimed in surprise, "Xu Yi?"
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and began to dance with excitement, "Did the plan succeed? Have you finally awakened?"
"Sort of!" Xu Yi smiled and greeted him.
Handon was a bit puzzled. An awakening was just an awakening. Why was the answer "sort of"? He glanced at the "sun" in the sky and had an epiphany.
Xu Yi hadn't fully awakened yet; his current state could be viewed as a Soul Split.
The Main Soul was still undergoing a metamorphosis, and only when the "sun" in the sky turned completely transparent would he be fully awakened.
The reason it took such a long time, apart from devouring the three Freddies, was that he needed to assimilate the power from the True God's lineage, which couldn't be completed quickly.
Splitting the soul would undoubtedly reduce the efficiency of assimilation, delaying the time of full awakening, but it couldn't be helped; he had his reasons for doing so.
He sensed little Judy's call for help.
This was an arrangement he had with little Judy. If there was something important, the other would use the Array to summon him.
In fact, this wasn't the first cry for help. There had been one before, but at that time, it was the critical moment of the devouring, and he simply couldn't respond.
Xu Yi felt the call in his mind, and his eyes suddenly became incredibly deep. His gaze pierced through countless times and spaces, seeing a blurry shadow.
He stretched out his hand, invisible threads surging forth. The threads swept toward the shadow, pulling it closer, the shadow gradually becoming clear, and finally transforming completely into a person.
"Eh! The Array wasn't fully activated, how did I get in?" little Judy opened her eyes in confusion.
This was of course Xu Yi's doing. After having devoured Freddie, even just as a Soul Split, he could use part of Freddie's ability.
Little Judy kept observing Xu Yi, seeing not only that he was safe and sound, but also that he seemed even stronger. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It looked like Xu Yi's plan had probably succeeded.
"Did you summon me because there's something important?" Xu Yi asked.
Little Judy took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "We've found the Burial Ground of the gods!"
Xu Yi's eyes lit up; this truly was a double blessing, but little Judy's next words made him freeze in his tracks.
"The Burial Ground of the gods is indeed important, but compared to that, I think there is something even more important for you to do."
Little Judy looked up and gazed at Xu Yi, "Perhaps you should first go see your daughter."
"Daughter?"
Xu Yi was a bit puzzled; in his memory, Lisa had only been pregnant for a short period, was little Judy suggesting he should go see an ultrasound photo?
"In two days, it'll be your daughter's second birthday!" little Judy sighed deeply.
Xu Yi was completely stunned. After inquiring for a long time, he finally confirmed one thing.
Almost three years had passed since he entered the Dream World.
During the time of devouring and merging, he didn't feel the passage of time at all.
