Chapter 35: The Living and the Dead

Chen Xuyuan continued to ask: "So what is the difference between the soul of an ordinary person and the undead? Can they all produce spells on their own? Also, ordinary undead life is generally attached to various entities to exist, but why don't ghosts need to do this? Moreover, even after the death of a non-spellcaster, they are born with many supernatural abilities? What is the difference between it and ordinary undead?"

Hamlet thought for a moment and said, "Wizards are trained souls to produce acquired spell-casting abilities. Some lifeforms with strong bloodlines will innate some spell-like abilities. Ghosts are spirits built on the basis of pure energy, but they also contain some non-negative energy components, and some of them can only exist if they are attached to objects that they love in life. β€œ

"To put it bluntly~ ordinary undead are some form of soul substance that is produced after attaching to a corpse, while ghosts are produced by attaching to a negative energy field. It's just that the attachment object is different. The souls of ordinary creatures are mostly based on the energy of other life attributes. I won't go into too much detail about the peculiarities of elemental creatures, but most of them don't have very bright heads. ”

"Whether or not the soul can survive for a long time after leaving the body is probably because of its spiritual structure and the formation of a certain stable negative energy field. My [Flame Incarnation] ability has only temporarily changed the structure of my body, and it is not the essence of the soul that is different like elemental lifeforms. That's already a completely different race. ”

Chen Xuyuan wondered, "Then why are most of the undead inherently very evil and chaotic, and does this have anything to do with the constituent energy of the ghosts?"

Hamlet suddenly asks rhetorically, "Who told you that the undead are evil and chaotic?"

Chen Xuyuan said strangely: "Isn't it said in the book?~~"

Hamlet immediately interrupted, "I guess you're reading some outdated books of the ancients. Those views are the conjectures of mortals without careful study. In fact, based on years of research and experimentation by wizards, it has recently been discovered that the undead are not inherently evil and chaotic. It's just that negative energy is naturally incompatible with ordinary living life, just like some people feel very disgusted with each other when they meet each other for the first time, which is the rejection of the life energy field. β€œ

And because the commanders who unleash the undead are often conspirators and avengers with hatred, murder, and evil intentions, they often instruct the undead to do some despicable bloody and cruel things. Misleading people into believing that the spirits of the dead are evil. ”

Chen Xuyuan asked again: "But I see that there are many records in the history books that once those undead become the climate, they will launch brutal killings, or carry out insidious and vicious terrorist activities, or do some terrible things that exterminate humanity like crazy people, and are also keen to destroy peace and tranquility." How can this be explained?"

Hamlet is a little hesitant: "The reason is very complicated, as if there are some human beings who have shown cruel and ugly nature since childhood. It needs to be carefully analyzed according to the situation, anyway, what I am telling you is the latest and most accurate research results. It is much better than the pseudo-history books written by the ill-intentioned literati, according to the positions under their ass and the orders of their masters. ”

He diverted the topic again and said, "You say, how do you have to take a pregnancy test to make sure that the clone created has the talent of a spellcaster?" I don't want to clone a lot of stupid sons who have no talent for casting spells to raise when the time comes~"

Chen Xuyuan said with a smile: "I said earlier, you have to let me help you choose, I am still more experienced in the identification of soul body characteristics, otherwise the time for the completion of this [clone] will be delayed." Hamlet, who was on the other side, stood up hurriedly, pulled Chen Xuyuan and said, "Then you accompany me to go around and see which female student in the academy is more suitable." If you really can't do it, buy the eggs and find someone else to borrow the surrogacy. ”

......

That night, Chen Xuyuan went to the laboratory in the back garden as usual and began to practice his new [Dharma Protector Divine Ape].

Chen Xuyuan reined in his mind, injected the mana into this divine ape with spiritual power, and also used spells to refine this body and runes, if he hadn't been proficient in the art of runes for a long time, he would never have been able to do this.

As the mana continued to be injected, refined, and fused, he clearly sensed that the various runes were already able to operate in a very coordinated and comprehensive manner, and only the last trace of impetus was missing.

Chen Xuyuan agitated the true power of his whole body, pushed the power of the spell to the peak, and suddenly took out a rune stone, and wrote a psychic rune array, which was the method of soul storage and connection in the book "Rune True Solution" that he explored and summarized by himself, and this technique was originally used for remote communication between shamans and totems with natural spirits.

However, Chen Xuyuan found through past research that this rune array can also be used to transfer "spell energy" between himself and his pet, so that he can transmit many blessing spells to its body without touching the spirit monkey, or remotely stimulate the effects of various runes on its body.

So he mobilized the power of this rune stone and pressed it to the center of the eyebrows separated from the ape's forehead.

The rune stone suddenly fused into the ape's body on its own.

In an instant, a gorgeous and soft five-colored light cluster bloomed on the body of the law ape, as if thousands of dazzling five-color flowers bloomed around the law ape.

Even most of the interior is dyed with a layer of brilliant rainbow light!

Chen Xuyuan only felt his heart beating, and felt that the law ape was constantly absorbing the natural energy of the outside world, and there were several strong energy fields in his body that were violently transforming and fusing together.

The ape's body showed a soft light of sea green up and down, and the huge body of one and a half people was still shaking and trembling, as if adjusting its form.

As its appearance slowly changed, it emitted a strange stream of consciousness connected to Chen Xuyuan's three souls.

He sensed the astonishing changes insideβ€”the runes that had been separate gradually merged strangely, like a special magic circle, gradually merging into a whole force.

Chen Xuyuan's mind shook violently, and a strong and indescribable link of consciousness was finally completely formed between himself and the law ape.

This "Law Ape Lux", which fuses the method of making rune guards and the method of transforming the body, has finally been completed!

But Chen Xuyuan was dumbfounded!

Because after a period of sacrifice, this "law ape" has slowly changed from the original ape-like appearance to a stout three-point human-like and seven-point ape-like appearance - a bit like Caesar in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

And there was no monkey hair in the mess of the past, and it was covered with long golden fluffy hair, as smooth as dandruff shampoo, and as powerful as the golden thread of the lion and tiger.
