Chapter 1166 - Resting in the Silent Night (5)

At the same time, somewhere outside Cairo, Africa, in a research room of the British dreadnought-class battleship [Attack on the Palamidades].

In a large glass container, a red and blue tree lies silently. It was a new tree that was synthesized from the [Sacred Tree Seed] in Bedeville and the [Crimson Seed] in the Quarantine Zone of the City of the Dead, and possessed both the power of [Order] and [Chaos]. Due to the power of this tree species and the unknown risks, the Knight King intends to seal it until it is thoroughly studied.

The container has been encrypted several times with various magic runes, and sealed with several powerful enchantments, which cannot be opened lightly from the inside or from the outside. Unless they attack the ship with brute force and destroy several of the ship's main and auxiliary power furnaces, no one can steal this rare tree from this research room.

In front of this solid protective device, King Arthur was standing silently, looking intently at the tree species, as if he could analyze the structure of the tree species by looking at it, and dig out all the secrets hidden in it.

No. Not as if. For King Arthur, who had great insight, he was able to understand a lot of information hidden in the tree species. But that's all gut - or rather, [true knowledge], and most of the information Arthur gets is a mixed bag, with no actual basis. And information without actual basis can often mislead people and make wrong decisions.

One or two bad decisions may not be a big deal for the average person, but for a man as important as King Arthur, one wrong decision can be a huge sacrifice.

So Arthur learned to be [cautious] over the years. Until decisive evidence is obtained, the king generally does not take the assumptions in his mind seriously, and he even ignores them, lest he be misled by these assumptions from the beginning and mislead his thinking in the wrong direction. He knew very well that [guessing] was a bad habit, and that the way to derive the true answer to a question was never [guessing], but relying on the tangible evidence at hand to reason backwards.

The same was true for the peculiar tree in front of him. Although Arthur already had hundreds of different hypotheses in mind, he could only remain silent due to the lack of evidence.

In the midst of this contemplation, someone patted the Knight King on the shoulder.

Arthur looked back and saw that it was his prime minister, the Great Mage Merlin.

"It's an amazing species, isn't it?" the great mage smiled at Arthur, "and an entire forest was compressed into a single tree seed, and the power of the Pseudo-anima was infused with it. "Isn't it [Spirit]?" asked Arthur casually. Since it was a wild spirit, a photon mind, it was either the Holy Spirit or the Evil Spirit. This was the first time Arthur had heard the word [Light Soul].

"No, it's just [Light Soul]. To put it simply, it is a [non-complete] spirit. Merlin touched the outer wall of the glass vessel with his hand and explained, "Whether it is the [evil spirit] formed in nature or the [Holy Spirit] created by ancient man, they are all [complete bodies], they are all photonic beings with self-awareness and capable of storing memories. However, the semi-finished product of [Light Soul] can generally only carry [consciousness], and memories must be attached to certain things and cannot be migrated with the spirit. Merlin looked around again. Although there was no one in the research room, for the sake of caution, Master Grand. reached out and opened the dark magic, enveloping himself and King Arthur in it. In the midst of the darkness is an [absolutely inviolable] space, where every interference from the outside world will be blocked, and no one will be able to eavesdrop or peek at the conversation between the two.

Thinking that he could have a safe conversation, Merlin spoke: "Your Majesty, do you remember the difference between [Reincarnated] and [Reincarnated One]?" Arthur was stunned for a moment: "Yes." "Most of the people in this world are [the dead]. Their consciousness and memories are stored in the body, consciousness is generated by the continuous physical-chemical computation of the brain, and memories are stored in the cortex of the brain in the form of codes. Note: When the deceased dies, all of them will return to dust, and their consciousness and memories will be reduced to nothingness. They face the fate that one of the world's creatures must face - annihilation.

And [reincarnated person] refers to the kind of person who can be reborn after death and whose "soul" is transferred to another body. But the process of rebirth is not controlled by the reincarnators at will, it is completely random.

The only all-knowing and all-powerful god in the world, the Kama (Seat of Destiny), will randomly reincarnate the reincarnated person into another time and space, even ignoring the flow of time. It is very possible for a reincarnated person to be born in modern times in this life and in ancient times thousands of years ago in the next life, or it is possible to be reborn in very close times in the last two lives. King Arthur had already seen several similar reincarnators - a white tiger, for example.

"Do you know what the minimum conditions are for [Reincarnated] to become [Reincarnated]?" Seeing that the Knight King was still lost in thought, Merlin continued, "It is [a soul that can leave the body and transfer to another place]—or more accurately, [Light Soul]." King Arthur nodded, signaling that he was listening.

"I don't really understand the principle," Merlin continued, "but there are people in this world who have [light souls] and some who don't. Only those who possess [Light Soul] are able to extract their consciousness when the body dies and use the [Light Soul] as a vehicle to transfer to other physical bodies. However, the transfer of the physical body is actually a very complex process that no one in the world can do. Therefore, this work is generally done by [God]. "What about the ancient gods and people?" Arthur chimed in, "those immortal creatures are said to be able to change bodies, right? Do they have [light souls]?" "No. Merlin shook his head, "The ancient gods and men were at least for the people I spent before I became the Light Spirits - they used other means to transfer their bodies, and they didn't have Light Souls themselves. Even those who originally owned it probably lost their original light souls when they changed their bodies countless times. Thus they ushered in [the decay of the soul] - the visible will eventually be destroyed, and the intangible will be eternal. Arthur seemed to have figured something out, and he squinted at Merlin, "But there is such an ancient god-man in front of us who has successfully escaped [the decay of the soul] and evolved himself into a [light-spirit], isn't it? "You're absolutely right, Your Majesty. Master Da nodded convincingly: "In that ancient time and space, my wife Pandora single-handedly researched the [Pandora Project], which was a project to recreate the [Light Soul] in the ancient human body. Although the project went a long way, and even released the shadows from the deepest part of the dark universe to cause disaster to the world, the end result of the project was a success - it created my name [Light Spirit]. Our plane was ruined by shadows, and I was the only one who became [eternal]. It seems that my people's wishful thinking has not been carried out, and I am the only one who has benefited, has I?" Arthur cupped his cheeks: "That's strange. He looked at the tree seed, "If I remember correctly, the light soul in this tree seed was extracted by the ancients from a certain time and space. The ancients obviously had the technology to extract spirits from other planes and planes, "but they were other people's spirits. Other people's consciousness, other people's memories, are of no help to the God-Human race's quest for eternal life. What the ancients wanted was a [light soul] born from their own body and able to transplant their own will. For this reason, they are constantly researching, extracting spirits from other planes and planes, to see how these spirits are born, and it is also part of their research. Merlin looked intently at the tree species in the glass container, "This guy is the same." Judging from your report, it should have been the memory of a tree in a certain era. Not only animals, but also plants can give birth to [Light Spirits], so the ancients must have been very interested in it. However, research on it has stalled, and the ancients have been unable to find out the secret of the birth of the light soul, so they have to give up and inject this thing into this tree species and use it as a biological weapon. This is the same as the various evil spirits and holy spirits that were later created by ancient people, all of which are the study of half a bucket of water. "But they helped a lot. The Knight King sneered, and also looked at the tree species, and said a wordless admiration: "Are the biochemical weapons that the ancients researched?" There are a lot of animal materials that are not used, but plants are used, and the ideas of the ancient people are really incomprehensible. "Oh, it's not that hard to understand. Merlin smiled mysteriously, "The biggest advantage of using plants as bioweapons is that they can't be infected by shadows. King Arthur glared: "They won't?!" "No. Unless there are special circumstances, when has His Majesty ever seen a dark child actively infect a plant?" King Arthur frowned, and there was a great confusion. Then he suddenly remembered the scenery of Elison's Pure Land.

Seven years ago, when Arthur and his party explored the Elven Elison Pure Land, they saw a scene that seemed extremely ordinary at first glance, but very strange when you think about it.

In the Pure Land of Elison, or the planet Elison, even if the shadows are raging throughout the planet to the point of being out of control, the natural environment there is still very beautiful.

The flowers and trees there are still as green as ever, quietly but vibrantly blooming in a deserted wilderness. In addition to the sparse population, the environment there is so quiet and beautiful that the uninformed cannot see the huge [darkness] hidden in that pure land!-

It is true that the dark child has never infected the plants in the Pure Land of Elison!
