"A thousand households! You're called a thousand households! ”

Xu Wanhu suddenly opened his eyes, and then said something inexplicably.

What's that? Who is Chinohe? What the heck?! There are only 10,000 households here!

Xia Fan was so frightened that he quickly spit out the half-chewed pork jerky and touched the baseball bat placed beside him.

"Wanhu Hou'er, you ......" Before Xia Fan finished speaking, he saw Xu Wanhu make a shushing motion.

When naming the spirit seed, Xu Wanhu's heart was still full of struggle and apprehension. But the moment he established a soul contract with Qianhu and reaped his allegiance, Xu Wanhu knew that he had made the right bet. At this moment, Xu Wanhu opened up a whole new world, which was worth his quiet and exploratory thoughts.

After the soul contract was established, the communication between Xu Wanhu and Qianhu no longer needed to be carried out through specific language, and what he wanted to know could be transmitted from Qianhu in an instant. At the same time, the ground appeared in the white and boundless space of the Sea of Consciousness, revealing the true face of the Sea of Consciousness.

The ground is also vast, and Xu Wanhu's soul is like a small drop in the ocean inside.

The communication with Qianhu accelerated, allowing Xu Wanhu to obtain more information about the spiritual source, spirit seed, spirit master, and spiritual object in a short period of time. The amount of information is very large, and it is not something that can be fully understood for a while, Xu Wanhu can only selectively explore some content in depth, first to solve his current doubts. Unfortunately, the reason for his dreams and the apocalyptic catastrophe cannot be answered here in Senho.

Below the "floating" position of Xu Wanhu's soul, there is a "puddle" with a diameter of less than one meter, and the dotted "water" in it is the elemental spiritual source that gathers together. These spiritual sources are the energy that Xu Wanhu's soul grows and consumes, when he is awake, the spiritual source will be consumed during use, and in the resting state, the spiritual source will automatically recover.

Xu Wanhu tried to use his soul to probe the edge of the sea of consciousness, but when he explored for a distance, he felt very tired. Chiho told him that it was because his soul was not strong enough, and after leaving the place where the spiritual source gathered, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the barren area. In the future, as Xu Wanhu's level increases, it will be easy to accommodate more spiritual sources, and the boundary of the "puddle" will increase, and eventually become the real "sea" of spiritual sources.

What exactly is a spiritual source? What about the relationship with the soul? Qianhu gave a more detailed answer.

Elemental spiritual sources are permeated in every corner of the pluralistic world, and single-essence spiritual sources collide with each other to form multi-body spiritual sources, that is, the original "consciousness body". After the "consciousness body" devours the elemental spirit source, or other "consciousness body", the structure will become more and more complex. In the vast majority of planes of the pluralistic world for hundreds of millions of years, the primordial "consciousnesses" grew and died out in the process of devouring each other, and in the end there was no substantial change.

In some inevitable and accidental circumstances, some planes have given birth to material structures that can accommodate "conscious beings", which on Earth are called "single-celled organisms". The primitive "consciousness body" inadvertently intruded into these special material structures, and with the protection of the substance, the "consciousness body" was no longer swallowed by the same kind, and at the same time they could safely devour other "consciousness bodies" and spirit sources, so they had a new name - "soul".

Spiritual source - consciousness body - life body soul, this is a simplified version of the spiritual source upgrade road. The consciousness body in nature is like a primitive cellular organism, which strengthens itself to make up for daily consumption by devouring elemental spiritual sources and even weak "consciousness bodies". Therefore, not every spiritual source can merge into a consciousness body on its own, and not every consciousness body has the opportunity to become the soul that makes up the life.

It can be said that without a spiritual source, there is no life, and the more advanced the life form, the more complex the composition of its "soul". The three monsters that Xu Wanhu hunted tonight - the four-eyed wolf, the giant rabbit and the jelly earthworm, these monsters that seem to surpass human beings in combat power are many more powerful, and their souls together are only composed of a few hundred spirit sources. As for the weak human beings, their souls are composed of 1,024 elemental spirit sources, which are the same in the souls of Xu Wanhu and Xia Fan.

When a living body dies, the "soul" that has lost the support of the entity will be decomposed into fragmented "consciousness bodies" again, until the elemental spiritual source, and this process of decomposition is fast and slow. Some of the higher intelligent beings in the pluralistic world discovered the mystery of the soul, and they collected the primitive "consciousness body" as a tool for their soul, and these "consciousness bodies" were called "spirit seeds", and the intelligent life that lit up the soul technology became the earliest "spirit master".

As for the appearance of the primordial spirit source, it is a puzzle that crosses the plane. What is known is that the spiritual source is born from the thought process of a living being. When living beings think, they produce a phenomenon similar to a chemical reaction in the spiritual realm that cannot be touched by the physical world. This phenomenon gave birth to the basic elements that make up the spiritual source, and the elements further reacted in the continuous collision to form the elemental spiritual source.

The stable supply of spiritual sources is also one of the reasons why life attracts "consciousness bodies" to take refuge and then produce souls.

As for whether the life form or the spiritual source will appear first in the endless pluralistic world, this chicken-and-egg problem is really an unsolved mystery.

Perhaps, as Qianhu said before, the appearance of the spirit seed may be a "miracle" in itself......

In a narrow sense, the "puddle" of this spiritual source is the most fundamental place in the sea of consciousness, and when the spiritual master is strong enough to store tens of thousands of spiritual sources, the "puddle" will expand into a real sea. Xu Wanhu's soul is also essentially composed of spiritual sources, but these 1024 spiritual sources that make up human souls are inseparable, and of course they cannot be used as energy, only the free spiritual sources are the source of soul energy.

There are about 50 elemental spiritual sources in the sea of consciousness of ordinary adults, and these spiritual sources are enough for human beings to consume high-intensity mental power for 24 hours in a row. When the spiritual source is depleted, if the human being is not able to get enough rest, the soul will sacrifice the spiritual source within its own structure, and this irreversible soul damage is the cause of death from overwork and overwork.

Xu Wanhu now has 142 spiritual sources in the sea of consciousness, which is still the remaining part after awakening thousands of households and consuming 100 spiritual sources, that is to say, now that he has 3 adult-level spiritual source values, the more powerful the spiritual master will have, the more unimaginable spiritual sources he will have. Qianhu told him that the first-level spirit master could store up to 1024 spiritual sources, and with each level, the capacity increased by 2 times, and binary was the mathematics that belonged to the soul.

Xu Wanhu now has a lot of elemental spiritual sources, but the user is not just his soul. The spirit seed does not produce a spirit source on its own, it needs to be instilled by the spirit master, and if the infusion is stopped, the spirit seed will return to a "hibernating" state, waiting for the next activation. The meaning of the existence of the spirit seed is to parasitize on the parasitic objects, so that they can become the extension of the soul of the parasitic master, so that the spiritual parasitic can use his consciousness to control the spiritual objects for his own use.

At this time, the spirit master can also store the daily excess spiritual source into the spirit seed's sea of consciousness, and take it out like a battery when needed. The thousand households who have not obtained the spiritual objects are now in a state of eating and drinking in vain and not being able to exert themselves.

Xu Wanhu felt that he seemed to have a soul pet, if he compared the "Sea of Consciousness" to the "home" of the soul, the original pet suddenly broke into the house to ask for adoption. And when it is named by its owner, it acquires the status of a family member, and can eat and drink at home. After being fed by Xu Wanhu, Qianhu's size did not continue to grow smaller than before, and the dancing blue flame looked a little bigger than before.
