This kind of prop exchange is not just human consciousness.

Let one person's consciousness and soul be completely transferred to another person's body, not to mention anything else, at least Zhou Heng himself can't do it. A person's soul is closely related to every structure of his own, not to mention exchanging bodies with other people, even a slightly larger physical transformation may cause a significant collapse of the soul.

After discovering this matter, Zhou Heng began to continue his investigation. Having two people swap bodies is magical, but it doesn't actually have much effect; On the contrary, it was the reason why the soul did not collapse, which made Zhou Heng a little concerned.

The principle of 'Soul Fall' is complex, and it contains many special structures that can only take effect under the rules of the Otherworld, so Zhou Heng himself did not figure out how it works in the end. However, after a little inspection, Zhou Heng figured out the general principle of this kind of thing.

People who have exchanged bodies have undergone a certain mutation in their soul and consciousness - their soul and consciousness have become one.

Looking at the results of the investigation, Zhou Heng came to the final conclusion. Those who have been touched by the Soul Fall have a certain amount of change and connection between their souls and consciousness. The soul, which represents the association of races, is combined with the consciousness that represents the individual's opinion, so that the soul does not collapse in the case of a direct replacement of the body.

Not only that, but there are also some phenomena that are very strange - after the change, the information in the soul is more important to the individual. The information in the brain will be directly covered by the information contained in the soul, and some subtle physical features will also be expressed by the soul and affect the host's body. Such a change is absolutely impossible to occur under normal circumstances.

Just like He Lei at the beginning. He was after receiving his future soul. The information of the future though went into his brain. But it doesn't have the effect of full coverage; But in the case of 'Soul Fall', the result will be different - Soul Fall can not only directly inject the soul into another individual without considering the suitability of the soul and body, but also make a certain amount of changes to the target.

"The Soul Pendant seems to have a special functional effect that allows the soul of an intelligent life to merge with consciousness and establish an inseparable relationship. This effect is theoretically supposed to be for the sake of body exchange, but for us, the effect of this additional effect is much more important than body exchange. ”

After making the final conclusion, Zhou Hengru said to the main god. Whether it is the soul or consciousness of intelligent life. The Lord God can extract them individually; But these two things have their own properties and characteristics, and it is not easy to blend them together and inject them into a new individual. Compared with exchanging bodies, this kind of incidental function is obviously more important to Zhou Heng. After finally investigating the other structures of the 'Soul Pendant', Zhou Heng asked:

"So what's the point of this phenomenon?"

It's based on practicality, but it's not about being practical. After Zhou Heng researched this kind of thing, he began to figure out its specific use.

"If that is the effect......," replied the Lord God, who had been silent, "perhaps it would change the nature of a person." ”

"Where?"

"Specifically, it is to change from 'body dominating the soul' to 'soul dominating the body'."

In general, it is always his body that dominates an individual – the body changes. The soul will change. The body is hurt, and the consciousness may also suffer some trauma. However, after using 'Soul Fall'. It becomes the soul itself that dominates an individual's actions.

"For individuals, this change makes no difference in the senses; But objectively speaking, there must be a difference. "In short—the brain is no longer dictated by thinking and acting. ”

"No brains...... What is that used for? ”

"It's not that you don't use your brain," said the main god, "it's that the brain controls the body directly and the soul uses the brain's resources to control the body, and there is one more step, but for ordinary people, it is impossible for them to realize this." ”

"In other words, after the change, all actions will be governed by the soul and consciousness?"

"Yes, the human mind will be less affected by the body's hormones and external conditions, and the mind will be clearer."

"Oh......"

Although I don't know what is going on, Zhou Heng probably understands the purpose of this prop. In short, in addition to being able to swap bodies, this thing can also put a human into a special state; Not only does it make one's mind clearer, but it also allows the target's soul to become one directly with the consciousness - in this way, no matter how much the soul is transformed, there will be no trauma or change in the soul.

This is of some help to Zhou Heng's research. After gradually realizing the importance of racial consciousness, Zhou Heng also began to pay attention to the special relationship between the soul and some superpowers. Although there are no definite results yet, it is certainly not a bad thing to be able to boldly transform under the premise of preserving the soul.

But anyway, it's a truce, and the study of these things is not in a hurry. In contrast, the reason for the appearance of this thing made Zhou Heng care a little more.

"So how the hell did this thing come about?" Zhou Heng took the Soul Pendant and consulted Venia and the others, "Why did the body of the Cursed Dragon collapse directly after the battle, and then drop such a thing?" ”

The function of the 'Soul Pendant' does not seem to have anything to do with the Cursed Dragon. Although this 'setting' is something that exists in the game, it is not the fundamental reason for its existence - the 'setting' itself is only a result, not a reason.

After discussing it for a while, Venia gave the answer: "There are not many creatures associated with this situation, the cold spiders in the north will melt their bodies immediately after death and form venom balls, and some wraith-like creatures will also turn into wraith crystals after death. In addition to this, legend has it that there are some gods who have the potential to produce some crystalline matter after death. ”

"Gods?" Zhou Heng came to the spirit. "Tell me about this."

"In our world. The gods are not special individuals whose strength is far greater than that of ordinary humans. Rather, it is a synonym for some special life. There are some gods who do exist. They vary in form, and some even have no disembodied form at all; Some evil gods, such as the Acapella Chaos Gods, often use such methods, because they have no entity of their own, or the entity has been destroyed for a long time; But if they use some objects as sustenance, they can continue to store zài, and even have a certain influence on our world. ”

"Oh......" Zhou Heng thought for a moment, and then asked, "So when there are no objects as a medium, what is the way they store zài?" ”

"The prevailing view of the Tower School today is that they have transcended the notion of ordinary human beings – that their existence has surpassed our world. When not called. They are generally between the two concepts of 'zài' and 'zài', shuttling through the fragments of time. Only when we find a prop that can attach to our body will we reappear in our world. ”

"It's a high-dimensional creature, right?"

"I don't know what you say, but it should mean the same thing."

After listening to Venia, Zhou Heng nodded thoughtfully. Vignia continued, "Today is the third negotiation, right?" ”

"Well, you got the morning notice, right?" Zhou Heng nodded and reminded, "And this is the fourth time." ”

"Let's get started."

It's almost ready, it's time for a showdown with these cultists. Hearing that they were going to meet these guys again, other people in the base came to watch. There was chaos in the research institute for a while, and after a while, Zhou Heng finished preparations. The 'Silver Moon' magic array was opened again.

And this time, the cultists didn't play any big names; A black mist flashed, and Relia reappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It's the fourth summoning, and I've seen it three times, even if I've met with Relia, and I'm pretty much used to it now. Looking at the figure of Leilia emerging from the black mist, many people frowned.

This time, Lyria didn't come in person. Just like the first time, he just came to negotiate with a stand-in magic. Thinking of the previous two experiences, many people also had a bad premonition in their hearts - it seemed that this lord was not going to talk about it properly this time. You know, when the cursed dragon was just destroyed, this guy came to negotiate in person with his real body.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, a smug and treacherous smile appeared on Leiria's face.

"Looks like you're a lot more confident." Zhou Heng said first, "Are you ready for a decisive battle?" ”

"Of course not." Leilia spread her hands, "Your combat strength far exceeds our expectations, and we have long since given up our plans for a decisive battle with you. ”

"You want to make peace, but I don't agree. Besides, you don't look like a sum at all. Zhou Heng made a gesture to drive people away, and said coldly, "We will call tomorrow, wash our necks and wait." ”

"Don't bother." Relia laughed, "Taking advantage of your foolish efforts, we have made a successful transfer. ”

"Want to run?" Zhou Heng smiled, "You should know, we have the causal clues of several lords among you in our hands; Wherever you flee, you will not be able to escape our hands......"

"Hahaha......"

Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Leilia laughed directly. This rude behavior made everyone around him quite unhappy, and several immediately jumped up to teach this guy a lesson; However, Leilia had no intention of taking everyone into account at all, and said:

"Do you really think your causal clues can do anything? We're no match for you, but since we're going to play this kind of thing, we certainly can't sit still. ”

"What?"

Zhou Heng's faces changed, and several researchers behind him hurriedly took out the instrument and started debugging. Soon, the verification results were obtained -

"Those causal threads are gone." After a brief debugging, one researcher came to the final conclusion, "We have completely lost the ability to track the spatial coordinates of those targets." ”

Hearing such news, the surrounding people couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The turning point in this war was that Zhou Heng caught those few cultists with minds, and found from them causal clues that were enough to trace some high-level leaders of the Chaos God Cult. After getting such a clue. Zhou Heng seized the initiative in this battle; In addition, the perfection of the 'Silver Moon' magic array was later completed. These cultists have nothing to do. But. Zhou Heng obviously missed a little - after discovering that his causal clues had been found, these cultists actually thought of some ways to erase the pointing of these causal clues.

The main god himself is not good at space shuttle technology, and now the progress of collecting relevant technology from various fantasy worlds has just begun; Under such technological inferiority, it seems that these cultists have really found the death hole of the earthlings - as long as they can eliminate those few causal clues, the earthly side will lose the ability to continue to hunt them down. No matter how good you are, it is useless to find the enemy's position.

Whether or not you can find the traces of the enemy is also a science, at least the earth side is very bad at this kind of knowledge. Even if there are some clues that can find these cultists. It was quickly destroyed by experienced cultists.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Relia was obviously very proud: "We can't beat you, but we don't want to pay the price, so we can only do this." This invasion of Earth is considered a failure for us, and we will not bother you again after this battle. If it's okay, this meeting will be the last time we'll see each other, hahaha! ”

Listening to his rampant laughter, there was nothing the crowd around him could do. In desperation, Zhou Heng sighed: "It's really a good calculation, from the beginning." You're just letting us fight the cursed dragon to the death so that you have time to slowly investigate the causal clues—right? ”

"That's true." Relia said. "Causal operations are something we have studied for hundreds of years, and although we have reached some thresholds now, it is not easy to find those causal clues that are relevant to you. It's thanks to your constant struggle with the Cursed Dragon that you've given us a respite. ”

"The peace sue a few days ago was also your attempt to deceive us?"

"Not exactly." Leilia graciously admitted, "It just so happened that the investigation of the causal clues was still a little short of work at that time, so we discussed it and prepared to make peace with you." However, of course, we can't hand over our technology to you, so we have withheld the most important part. ”

"Is it really fake......

"It's not all fake, but after missing the core part, you know those things are also for nothing." "But I didn't fool you, and it made you let your guard down. Later, I have time to solve the problem slowly, and I should thank you for your negligence. ”

"I see." Zhou Heng shook his head, "But in order to gain time, did you sell your master's cursed dragon?" It's a ......."

"Not exactly." "The cursed dragon is indeed something we worship," said Rella, and we prayed to him for a little help when we were in danger. ”

can take out the things you worship as cannon fodder, this kind of thinking makes others a little crying and laughing. However, Zhou Heng quickly grasped the main point: "You mean, the cursed dragon we killed is actually ......."

"It's just a god, actually." "The true Cursed Dragon died in the Silver Moon War a hundred years ago. What is alive today is the cursed dragon that has become a god. ”

Most of the earthlings around him didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but those people from other worlds had already reflected it. Rellia shook her head and sighed, "Since the end of that war, the Cursed Dragon has been enshrined as a totem of our faith. On weekdays, it is natural that you will not take people lightly, let alone directly summon them to fight. But what I didn't expect was that you found a magic spell that summoned it. ”

"That's why you sent him to his death?" Vignia next to her sneered, "It's really a devout believer." ”

"Come on." "If your god of light appears in a place where you must die," said Leilia, "will you die with the past?" ”

Vinia's rebuttal left Vignia speechless—of course, the god of light is an illusory deity, and although it exists, it does not appear in the human world; But for comparison, there doesn't seem to be much of a problem. After all, the gods themselves do not die, and it doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing for the cursed dragon to be killed once by the earthlings. And with this, everyone can be considered to understand what the battle was going on a few days ago.

A hundred years ago, the Cursed Dragon died from his injuries. However, because of the large number of believers and the ability to do so, the cursed dragon not only survived, but also directly became a god. However, the Earth and the Otherworldly people did not know this, and regarded the Cursed Dragon as the terrible leader who ruled tens of thousands of cultists, and used their own energy to summon it.

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that he was tossing around? And that 'Soul Fall' is undoubtedly the crystallization of the summoning of the cursed dragon.

After thinking about this, the previous doubts can be regarded as basically clear. Why these cultists didn't help the Cursed Dragon in battle, why the Cursed Dragon dropped that 'Soul Fall', and why Relia had to go to great lengths to sue for peace a few days ago is probably all clear.

But after listening to so much, Zhou Heng always felt that something was missing.

"Still have questions? If not, I'll go? Leilia paced around the institute, leisurely looking around at the furnishings, not at all aware that she was in the enemy's stronghold. However, Zhou Heng didn't care about his rudeness, and after thinking for a while, he asked:

"Who are you?"

"As you know, followers of the Cult of Chaos." "And the last time I mentioned it to you—a member of the Mystic Mage's Guild. (To be continued......)
