626: Chapter 595: I Am a Seeker of Truth (5300) 626: Chapter 595: I Am a Seeker of Truth (5300) The man’s voice carried a distant echo, as if he were recalling memories from a very distant past.

“Returning to my hometown, my mother had grown old, she had long heard of my achievements, and she was proud of me— I couldn’t tell her about The Grand Duchy’s affairs, I just told her that I was going to a distant laboratory to work, and that it might be difficult to come back in the recent years.”

“My mother happily told me to go on, that she was doing well by herself, the neighbors were all looking after her, and of course she was also strong-willed and helped the neighbors in return, never taking kindness for granted.”

“I was reluctant to leave, but in the end, it was my mother who sent me away, and then I went to The Grand Duchy’s private laboratory to participate in the research of secret technologies.”

“That was the happiest time of my life— my mother’s life was settled, someone recognized me, recognized my wisdom, my efforts, didn’t look down on me because of my blood, and actually treated a Fourth Power Level strong being, who would be worshiped as a god elsewhere, as an equal…

at least outwardly, engaging with me on equal terms, inviting me to participate in his research.”

“Then, things started to get a little complicated.”

“The subject I was assigned to was ‘Life Solidification’ and the ‘Artificial Human’ capable of ‘Soul Transfer’…

Honestly, the former was a new technology I had never heard of, while the latter was the classic topic of ‘Immortality’ and ‘Soul Transfer’ that’s been discussed for ages.”

“Truthfully, this latter topic really didn’t make much sense— the soul of a Sublimator originates from the body and thought patterns, this is basic knowledge.

The higher the Power Level of the Sublimator, the more they cannot separate body and soul, as arbitrary division can cause self-damage.”

“Especially for the Heart Light Body, for a powerful being above the Third Power Level, once they are separated from their soul, even the Heart Light Body would decline…

This is highly confidential information because the special Origin Quality that constitutes the Heart Light Body is gradually derived from the perfect harmony of body and soul.”

“Even if you create a body from scratch that is 100% suitable for soul transfer, you can’t bring over the power, and because of the transfer and decline of the soul, you would almost certainly lose very important memories— is the person who is transferred still the same person?

Even Fae wouldn’t do such a thing.”

“But The Grand Duchy told me not to think about soul decline or the inherent thinking that ‘only Sublimators can have souls’…

I just needed to solve the high compatibility of Artificial Human bodies.”

“Honestly, this is also very difficult.

Initially, the connection between the soul and the body is Origin Quality, but after the soul takes shape, its Spirit Substance will in turn nurture the body, and a blank body can also generate Origin Quality on its own.

The conflict between these three is essentially an unsolvable problem; 100% is impossible.

After years of research, the most practical Artificial Human I created was at most 95%…

and even that was a one-off, most were only around 70% to 85%, and extremely expensive.”

“Even if the standards are lowered to this extent, validation itself is a big problem.”

“Not enough, there’s just not enough experimental material.

Plus, how can you succeed in researching this technology without data from species like the Fae and dragons that can easily change bodies?

Furthermore, biotechnology is certainly not the strong suit of The Grand Duchy, not even The Empire, that’s the dominant technology of Fiery Flame Land.”

“We need more volunteers…

but where can we find enough death row inmates and volunteers willing to give up their lives?

Not to mention the Fae and dragons I require…

Ha, what a joke, where can you find volunteer Fae and dragons?”

“After The Grand Duchy knew about this, he was silent for a while, he recognized the achievements I had made before, and then changed my subject— this time I was responsible, as the main researcher, for the formation principles and suitable environments for ‘Soul Conglomerates’.”

“This was already quite different from what I studied back in the day, but luckily, over the years, I had mastered the related Alchemy skills.

This subject didn’t stump me.

Once I received the ‘Ethereal Spirit Energy’ related data and valuable books I requested, I quickly confirmed something.”

“The soul, as a highly orderly Spirit Quality Aggregate, needs to be in a region with a large amount of energy to remain stable without a body.”

“In fact, the Domain of Void is suitable for the survival of the soul, but the Domain of Void was too damaged after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, it is in the period of repair, so it will strip the soul, or in other words, all the energies present in the Domain of Void are repairing themselves…

The Voidrealm Machine Gods are essentially controlled by the instincts of the Domain of Void; they are the repair Tentacles, no different from the Tentacles of Fae as Natural Spirit Energy.”

“In other words, the Voidrealm Machine God is another kind of Fae!

No wonder the Voidrealm Machine God can serve as an Inheritance, no wonder the Fae are so concerned with the operation of the Voidrealm Machine Gods, all the knowledge in this world is indeed interconnected!”

“Therefore, I came to a conclusion that was quite outrageous yet proved to be correct.”

“The most suitable environment for the existence of the soul is actually Hell.”

“It sounds like nonsense.

But to put it another way, it could be the ‘Volcanic Region’ or above the vault of heaven, the ionosphere filled with thunder and electromagnetic forces.”

“The corresponding regions in the Domain of Void, not only will they not draw energy from the soul, but they will also spill out some Natural Spirit Substance, ensuring the survival time of the soul.

Honestly, these two places are not much different from Hell, and I guess I now understand why in ancient mythology, souls ultimately go to Fire Hell or undergo Reincarnation, it turns out to be true.”
