Chapter 25: The Soul

In fact, Cassia still struggled with whether to give Matt that eye, after all, he already had wind attribute abilities and more powerful speed.

But Cassia still feels that these abilities are a bit soft, and the knowledge he has left to humans is almost over, and the rest is up to them to fight with nature, just like Tucci at the beginning, there must always be a leader with outstanding abilities to lay the foundation for the future.

So in the end, he left Matt with the 'Eye of Horus', a name he had chosen at will, with only one function, which was to pierce everything that stood in his way, as he described.

And Matt's speed ability will be passed on to his descendants, and the wind ability will return to Cassia again after his death, if the Will symbol is not consumed, as for the eye...... Feel free to use it once, anyway.

Over the next few days of Cassia's observations, Matt had already begun to activate the wind attribute ability, and gradually made a name for himself in the village.

In Cassia setting, that power will slowly grow with him, and it will not be until he becomes an adult that the authority belonging to the symbol of will be fully open to him.

By now, he can use his powers to help the villagers, such as trapping prey with the wind while hunting, or blocking damage for his companions.

He even wanted to fly with the power of the wind, or condense the wind blade to chop down trees, but Matt was too young to have these abilities yet.

Seeing that Matt was already proficient in using the power of the wind with his own authority, Cassia was considered to have tasted the sweetness, which was completely out of the scope of the ability of ordinary creatures, and he could use it on a large scale for the creation of other races.

Moreover, the ability plug-in is different from the biological ability plug-in, the biological ability plug-in relies on the root of the virus gene, and it plays a role through the main sequence, so that the solidity of the spiritual marker determines the difficulty of activating the ability.

The Ability Plugin Cassia intends to anchor it firmly to the main sequence, which means that the species with the Ability Plugin will activate the ability as soon as it reaches certain conditions, such as adulthood, and the will symbol will split as the DNA is replicated.

But because the virus doesn't carry genes, it's its will symbol, which means that no matter how diluted it is, future generations can control abilities by gaining permission.

When the time comes, those creatures that once existed only in the stories they heard may not appear in the Atlanta world.

The only problem is the amount of authority these abilities, because for Cassia some abilities can be used without consuming spirit points, but the more powerful ones are more cumbersome to control, and even he has to consume them to achieve his goals.

Similarly, the Will symbol acts as a permission, and if a creature wants to use more than it, it can, but after one use, the will symbol is depleted in the individual's body, the same wind ability Cassia infects Matt and Lana.

"Hmm...... We have to find a way to allow creatures to use their super-privileged abilities, but they can't just touch this point, but how do you set up this level?

This couldn't help but stump Cassia a little, and just as he was thinking about it, Brother Eagle, who was releasing himself outside, came directly to a hungry tiger to pounce, rushed in from outside the window, and went straight to Cassia Ming's head.

But Cassia's attention was focused on thinking about the problem at this time, and by the time he raised his hand to stop Brother Eagle, it was too late, and the furry skull instantly rode into his face.

However, the impact did not happen, and Brother Eagle's body passed directly through Cassia Ming, and the whole bird crashed into the bookshelf in a daze, causing all kinds of papers to fly everywhere.

Cassia exhaled: "I remember that I didn't mix in the genes of Erha in the birds, how could it be like this? Fortunately, I don't have the habit of simulating entities in the Moon Palace......

Cassia looked at the bouncing eagle brother, and the voice in his mouth became smaller and quieter.

Because he thought of another way, he was now in the state of the spirit body, or the state of the soul body, in the Atlanta world.

And he is also like this in the Moon Palace, only when he goes to the land to 'investigate', he will choose to simulate the feeling of the entity.

"Spiritual Body...... Soul ......" Cassia repeated, trying to catch this flash of inspiration.

After a while, as if he had figured out something, he ran over and rubbed Brother Diao's head vigorously: "You Brother Diao clan is really my lucky general." After saying that, Cassia ran directly to the third floor.

In the experimental area, Cassia was holding a water scoop and was manually applying the nutrient solution to the culture cabin, there was no way, the crude modified products were already very relieved to be able to use him.

Brother Eagle's actions just now made him think of a possibility, since animals have souls, why not use this as a criterion for restricting permission?

If a creature wants to use an ability that is out of authority, trade it for their soul, which in simple terms:

Using an ability that exceeds the Will Symbol permission = Self-Destruct

These creatures are native 'natives' of Atlanta, and their souls can also be used by their own consent in exchange for a portion of the ability cost to increase the effect of the ability a little more.

And this has been confirmed by Cassia before, in the Atlanta world, only after the death of creatures with high intelligence, their souls can be sucked into their own sea of consciousness and become the force of life, and if they refuse the entry of these high-intelligence souls, they will gradually dissipate in the Atlanta world like the souls of low-intelligence animals, become nourishment, and feed back to the Atlantan world.

The reason why I say low-intelligence animals, not low-intelligence creatures, is because there are no plants in the Atlantic world, and Cassia has not found any plants with souls.

"In that case, then I'll use low-intelligence biological experiments first, and by the way, I can study the generation of souls. ”

For the rest of the day, Cassia stayed in the experimental area on the third floor, and if he wanted to use the soul as a criterion for restricting permissions, he had to know how the soul was generated, or where the root of the soul was, which could not be found in the database.

The original stone table on the third floor was removed by Cassia Ming, and the glass room was also demolished, replaced by more than a dozen three-meter-high cultivation cabins, each with its own label on it, representing an ordinary creature.

The germ cells of rabbits, wolves, cows, sheep and other animals are soaked in a green nutrient solution.

Although it is necessary to 'apply the water' manually every time, the time for external culture is just right compared to direct condensation and viviparity.

At this time, Cassia was sitting with his eyes closed, and his perception was divided into a dozen strands, taking care of each cultivation chamber separately.

One thing is different from the real world here, Cassia relies on mental power to perceive things on the outside, but on the inside, he relies on the perceptual authority given to him by the Atlantic world.

And the life force that he had originally mutated from his spiritual power could not be used here, which also led him to wonder if he had entered the Atlantic world as a soul, or if it was just a projection.

But now that he was distracted by a dozen or so shares, he couldn't think about anything else.

One day, two days, ten days, half a month, twenty days, a whole twenty days, Cassia sat still in place, because he did not dare to let go of any possibility of generating souls.

The experimental subjects in the culture chamber have grown wildly in the past twenty days, and the nutrient solution needs to be replenished almost every once in a while, of course, this is indispensable for his catalysis.

But twenty days have passed, and in the perception of cassia Ming, these dozen or so individuals are about to mature, and even some fast-growing individuals have reached the point where they can be born in a viviparous state.

But...... There was still no sign of a soul, and all of the dozen or so instances were lifeless.

Cassia can perceive in them a stream of energy, which is unique to living beings, the energy produced by cells, that is, they are alive.

But they don't have a soul, like a delicate instrument made up of cells, but there is no person to operate the instrument.

Cassia couldn't help frowning, he couldn't understand why this was the case, it stands to reason that it came to this point, for example, that rabbit could be produced under normal conditions, but why didn't it have a soul?

Without a soul, it's just a lump of flesh with cells still alive, which is different from a vegetative person, Cassia guesses that a vegetative person is just a soul temporarily sealed, but the state of the test subject is more like ...... Plant.

After another ten days, Cassia who was sitting cross-legged on the ground shook his head, he picked up the notebook and gently drew a cross on it, which represented the failure of the experiment and the inability to find the root of the birth of the soul for the time being.

He looked up and saw that the subject in the sixth culture chamber was a mouse, and now in the nutrient solution, the mouse had begun to grow hair.

In its normal state, this means that it has left its mother's body, descended into the world, and has begun to develop and grow.

But now Cassia still can't feel the slightest breath of soul from its body.

"Whew...... It's okay, it's normal, when I first started contacting, didn't I get a lot of fleshy slimes out? Cassia comforted himself.

Then he took a deep breath and turned to go back to rest, where he had been stiff for a month day and night, and his fatigue was almost equivalent to three days and three nights outside without closing his eyes.

Throwing down the notebook, Cassia reluctantly walked downstairs, but when he stepped out of the door with one foot, he suddenly stopped, and then turned around and walked back, came to the sixth training cabin, and pasted his whole face on it.

He felt that there seemed to be something different about this little mouse, giving him a strange feeling, which was not mental, nor perceptual, but similar to ...... Psychological suggestion.

Cassia narrowed his eyes, dragging his tired mind to mobilize all his senses, and probed into the depths of the mouse's body.

But after walking around, everything was as usual, Cassia even stayed in his brain for a while, and found nothing, but that feeling was still there, and Cassia did not believe in evil and refined the level of perception again, directly perceiving the level of cells.

This time, he was stunned, because in his perception, all the genes in the guinea pig's body were completely collapsing and then recombining.

The recombined gene is not half different from the original gene, but Cassia senses that there seems to be something more in the mouse's body.

Grunt...... A string of bubbles came out of the mouse's mouth.
