(6800)_2 961: Chapter 87 Artificial Soul Completion, The Prelude to a New Era!

(6800)_2 Green Tide came here specifically to clear out the Magical Beasts in the Black Swamp Zone for the Pioneers, to prevent any danger from occurring.

For this reason, he had even sent a special notification to the gathering place, requesting the Pioneers to stay out of the Black Swamp today.

Who would have known that Miles and his group departed too early, and by the time his message arrived, they had already entered the swamp, and it was absolutely impossible to pull them back.

Not to mention, with just a slight sensing, he was shocked to discover that this group was actually right beside a Giant Krait—the flat ground where these people were standing was the very top of the nest built by the Giant Krait!

Couldn’t they think about what it means for there to be solid ground suddenly appearing in the middle of a large swamp?

In other places it might not be clear, but in the Bison Mountain Range, such an area that contradicts the surrounding environment is definitely a Magical Beast Nest!

These people were making a ruckus atop the Magical Beast’s head, and it was only because the Giant Krait was enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens not wanting to be found, that it had been tolerating them without appearing; otherwise it would have eaten up this group long ago!

But later on, the Giant Krait noticed his arrival and had no choice but to take action and confront them, yet even so, out of anger, it gave them a powerful strike.

Originally, Green Tide thought that these unfortunate Pioneers, who were constantly treading dangerously close to death, would probably die here…

but he never imagined that among these Pioneers, there would actually be a Spirit Energy User!

“You little fellow…

you’re actually a Spirit Energy User?”

The green-haired Swordsman stepped on water mist and descended beside Miles; he looked at the young man with interest, lifted him up, stabilized his injuries with Origin Quality, and then sent Miles back to his fellow workers: “It seems, you’ve revealed your Spirit Energy in order to protect the others.

Not bad!”

“If not for you, even if I were present, all of you would probably be dead.”

Of course, everyone knew that it was Miles who saved them all—they might not understand Spirit Energy, but they could still see the process where the crimson space gathered all the attacks towards Miles himself, which clearly indicated that Miles had used his own body to block the fatal blow for them.

Immediately, everyone asked after his well-being and looked after him until Miles was at a loss for words: “Don’t, don’t touch me!

It hurts!”

Although his main injury was on his hand, in reality, during the activation of Spirit Energy, the attacks he sustained were distributed across his whole body.

His hand was broken because his Spirit Energy wasn’t strong enough yet; had his Spirit Energy advanced further, to completely block the enemy’s attacks, then even if he received a lethal wound, when distributed, it would probably be equivalent to just having light injuries all over his body.

Such Spirit Energy capabilities would be enough for him to become a Perfect Body with no fatal injuries, just a ‘health bar’!

Green Tide watched this scene with a smile, stroking his chin, feeling like he had gained a great deal.

Defeating the Mud Bog Titan Viper was clearly his achievement, but such credit was a matter of course.

After becoming a Second Energy Level, he should take over Ian’s role of cleaning up Magical Beasts—that was not the true gain.

The real prize was the discovery of a Spirit Energy User!

For Lords like Ian, the appearance of a Spirit Energy User within his domain is considered a great achievement, and would be very helpful when requesting assistance from The Empire.

Not to mention that Spirit Energy Users are synonymous with Sublimators and geniuses.

Carefully nurtured, those innately endowed with a soul would have no problem advancing to the Second Energy Level.

Especially since, when this Spirit Energy User was utilizing Spirit Energy, he seemed to be employing a certain sword technique to deflect the enemy’s attacks, reducing the damage to himself…

Although his talent for swordplay was not as good as his own, it was enough!

“Let’s go!”

With that thought in mind, Green Tide did not elaborate further but patted Miles on the shoulder, which made the latter’s face darken as he let out a hearty laugh, and infused a bit of Origin Quality to help him recover strength: “Let’s get out of the Black Swamp first.

By the way, what’s your name?”

…

The Domain of Void.

Ian was working with Adalbert in the Domain of Void, researching the ‘Xiawei Territory version of Artificial Soul’ in terms of its built-in functional structure and its functionality programming (in simple terms, writing programs) when he suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

The young man lifted his head and gazed northwest: “There’s a Spirit Energy reaction over there, and it’s not weak.

It’s not from someone who has just awakened.”

“Yes.

And, a very familiar sensation…”

Adalbert also lifted his head; the two had been working in the Domain of Void for a long time.

Programming for an experienced Deceased Monarch Researcher wasn’t a big deal, but Ian’s requirements for the new version of the Artificial Soul were much more extensive than the Deceased Monarch’s, and even if it wasn’t achievable at present, he still wanted to reserve space interfaces, thus complicating the matter.

Even with Adalbert’s genius, plus Ian’s prophetic deduction, after so many days, they had barely completed half of their progress.

Most importantly, they could not find a living Artificial Soul Bearer as a reference for comparison, to observe the operational mode of an active Artificial Soul.

Both of them were Deceased Monarchs, and the Artificial Souls within them had already solidified, making them completely unsuitable as reference materials.

—If only they had a living individual from The Grand Duchy as an observation subject, that would be wonderful.

Both of them felt such regrets in their hearts, but since they couldn’t find one, they could only continue to work and experiment on themselves, constantly fixing BUGs.

But just now, they sensed a familiar breath.

A breath…

slightly related to the Deceased Monarch, a breath of Spirit Energy.

“I’ll go check out the situation.

Adalbert, you keep working.”

Ian exchanged glances with the Deceased Monarch Researcher, then prepared to leave the Domain of Void, but Adalbert quickly followed: “Wait for me, if it’s related to the Deceased Monarch, I definitely want to go too!”

So Green Tide, who was at the Black Swamp gathering place reporting the news, ended up waiting for two individuals he didn’t anticipate.
