What is Star Soul? I'm afraid, no one can give an accurate answer.

In the long history, the Star Spirit Envoy has always existed in human society, and the legends and supernatural stories of various countries have not been broken.

The fairies, demons and monsters in the East, and the wizards and vampires in the West are often known to the world in the name of urban weirdness.

But at dusk, they really came into people's eyes from weird talk and jokes.

When the law of conservation of energy and various energy conversion formulas lost their meaning, this absurd and unwarranted talk became the basis of "science" in the new era.

For humans who have fallen into a desperate situation from the twilight day, I'm afraid, this is Zuihou's lifeline.

The star soul envoy can bring the heroic liliang, and when facing the irresistible power of the gods and the beasts they raise, the flash of the star soul becomes the only hope.

If the gods represent the supreme power, the heroes are the liliang of "people".

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the legend that those heroes rebelled against the cruel and unjust fate and saved the weak in a desperate situation that they have a reason to be called heroes.

Each Star Soul Envoy represents a legend in human history.

Yes, it's just a legend, and fictional star souls whose true bodies cannot be verified also exist.

The past and the future meet at this moment, and after the arrival of the star spirit envoy of the ancient hero, it is the beginning of a new legend.

Three hundred and sixty-six years ago, ten years after Dusk Day (AD10), the blooming artificial solar furnace made large-scale settlement possible again.

Who knows, it was the star soul manifestation of Prometheus and Zhurong Clan's Suiren (the Western Emperor, one of the Three Emperors), who jointly completed their mission and brought the light back to the world.

In the East, two hundred and seventy years ago (AD106), the controversy of the hundred schools of thought, and the emergence of many schools of thought, Neo-Moism, Neo-Legalism, Neo-Yin-Yangism, and Neo-Confucianism, made the human soul mechanics and social form from the scattered accumulation of experience to the stage of theoretical research and practical summary, and the soul device that imitated the star soul was armed on the stage of history.

He is known as the first industrial revolution of soul mechanics, and forty years later, the second revolution of soul mechanics came as scheduled.

This time, in the West.

Two hundred and thirty years ago (AD 146), Eda. The new Renaissance represented by Vinci and Michelangelo rejuvenated the ancient alchemy and colossus weapons, and made the combination of soul mechanics and alchemy a big step forward.

They began to embark on a completely different path from the Star Soul Armament with strong personal colors, institutionalized and universally applicable, and became the target of priority, and the Soul Stone and the Sage Stone Tablet were the products of such a revolution.

And the imitation of Star Soul Martial Arts, Soul Martial Arts, gives ordinary soldiers the possibility of going to the battlefield.

Of course, at this point, there is a huge difference between the East and the West, and the Oriental people believe that the so-called immortals are also formed by human cultivation, so the Oriental soul martial arts is regarded as a way of cultivation.

Perhaps because the heroes in Western legends are often demigods or gods, such as Hercules, Gilgamesh, and Achilles, Western soul practitioners generally believe that human beings themselves are descendants of demons and gods, and their radical change in physique, the way in which they change from human to non-human is called bloodline awakening.

And in the East, even the legendary Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Monkey King who overturned countless gods in the heavens and the earth, in his legend, also came from a stone monkey who could only roll and steal peaches.

For a long time, the twilight sun cut off the remote communication of the entire shijie, but it left countries and localities to be self-reliant, and the ancient myths of various countries came to reality, so that the study of soul mechanics had countless tributaries.

Each country and each place has its own new civilization, and the extremely diverse occupations and creations have provided theoretical accumulation for the great development of soul mechanics in the future.

East, west, north and south, five continents, twenty-nine divine lands (the New World rising from the ocean in the twilight day), shijie is huge, but there are not many places that humans can reach.

Due to the two soul revolutions, the East and West were slightly ahead in the use of soul power, and their finished products became the mainstream choice of most of the Night's Watch.

This East and West is only a relative concept, and no one can say how much deviation there is.

The difference in thinking style and cultural habits, or even more because the abilities of the star soul heroes on both sides are completely different, makes the development path of soul power more and more obvious.

In the West, they believe that the human body contains a special blood liliang, but it must be awakened through medicine, meditation, exercise, and rituals, while in the East, it is more through the practice of the body, drugs and the like, which are just regarded as foreign objects.

The common trend is that the East is good at soul power cultivation itself, and all kinds of strong people and special professions emerge in an endless stream, while the West is strong in the development of soul tools, not to mention the increasingly popular alchemy mecha and Colossus Samurai, which have basically become the necessities of all night watchmen, and the sage slabs and soul stones, which have basically become the necessities of all night watchmen, are also from the handwriting of Western alchemists.

The soul skills of the star soul are armed, and they are the prototype of all soul tools, and for more than two hundred years, with the development of soul mechanics, the star soul envoy and his knights are no longer the only warriors.

Now, there are often only two or three Star Soul Manifesters among the ten colors that mark the strongest in a region (Asia, Europe) (the strongest individual recognized among the ten soul colors, the title of Honored Warrior), but there is always a shadow of the star soul in every major progress and historical change.

With the development of the times, peak combat power is no longer the patent of Star Soul manifesters, and the significance of Star Soul Heroes, the historical significance and future possibilities they represent, have far surpassed themselves.

Special Star Soul Technique, rare Star Soul Martial Arts, and strange Star Soul Armament, that is an endless treasure trove.

The astrological masters in the West and the astrological gods in the East all have secret methods for predicting the arrival of the Star Soul Envoys, and most of the Star Soul Envoys will also be protected by the Night Watch Association and enter a special training institution at the same time as they are discovered.

Due to the pursuit of Liliang, the wild Star Soul can be called non-existent.

And Jiang Shang, now, is in trouble.

“…… To sum up, that is, you must now make a choice. ”

Faced with Hongling's question, Jiang Shang was a little dumbfounded, he had a terrible headache, and as soon as he woke up, he was pulled down in the living room, and he said a lot, zuihou, he actually had to make an important life choice.

"Do you choose to be a true night watchman and enjoy life and death in the dark places, or do you want to be an ordinary person and spend your life in the safety of a city-state?"

－－－－－－－－－－－－

The wild boy who can increase his soul power is undoubtedly a good thing, but the human body has a limit, and the original increase in soul power is an overdraft of the human body, and the result of overload is that in addition to the machine having to enter the factory for overhaul, Jiang Shang's mental and physical strength are double overdrawn.

After that battle, Jiang Shang fell asleep directly for nearly forty hours, which was still the result of seeing that he had made a great contribution, and the association invited the most haode black life therapist in the local area to treat him.

The soul color that represents death and life is black, and the two sides of the black soul technique are the study of life and the play with death.

Life and death, reincarnation, is very easy to understand philosophically, but every time patients in need of treatment wait for these healers who are also psychics and necromancers in a laboratory full of corpses and necromancers, they always feel that something is wrong with those places.

The seven-colored soul power represents the seven desires of the original sin, but the cultivation of black soul power will make the cultivator more and more emotionally thin, with no desires at all, and nothing to care about.

Perhaps, the eyes that look at life as if they were looking at their own future research materials, and the attitude of doing surgery as if they were cooking, made the business of these eccentric and dull doctors worse and worse.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the soul skills of the reincarnation system (black soul power) are effective quickly and the fees are low, but the ancient herbology and Western medicine are becoming more and more active, at least, the pharmacists and alchemists with the worst temperament will at least treat people as human beings, and the attitude of life healers and psychics towards life is a bit problematic.

"By the way, you're hopeless, you'll be dead in about half an hour. Congratulations, it's the beginning of a new reincarnation, if you still have nostalgia for shijie, do you need me to help you transform into an undead form? Do you prefer sexy skeletons or busty zombies? Or, the handsome Death Knight? ”

"What about the West's dislike, the East's wandering corpses, volcanic corpses, and flying bones? If I want a high-level existence like the Drought Fish, I can't help it. ”

"Huh? Dead, there should be half an hour left? Angry? Hey, I'm not ready for the transformation ritual, it's a waste. ”

Or, it's this overly thoughtful life and death service dragon that makes the soul power of the black system always feel a little strange.

Of course, for the professional night watch, there is a reincarnation life healer with a certain amount of combat power in the team, but it is a very luxurious desire.

The loss of flesh and skin of the body in front of the soul skills of the professional life therapist only took ten minutes to be healed, but the excessive consumption of spirit and soul power made it impossible for this old life healer who had been in the industry for nearly forty years to do anything, zuihou dropped a sentence.

"I've never seen such nonsense, all the soul power and bloodlines in the whole body are overloaded, the soul power is running around in the body, the brain is shut down protectively, he is not conscious now, and his star soul power is also instinctively resisting my soul power, I can't help it."

"The mystery of the human body is endless, but the human body is endless, natural sleep is always the most haode recovery means, let him sleep until he wakes up naturally. When he wakes up, tell him that if this level of overdraft comes again, he will become mentally retarded if he does not die. Well, if he wakes up this time. By the way, in this case, it seems that I want to sign a critical illness notice for you and lend me a piece of paper? ”

The old therapist surnamed Namu ignored the eyes of the patient's family members around him who wanted to eat people, and he was rigid and persistent in issuing a critical illness notice, and then ...... was kicked out of the door by Hongling.

In the end, the critical illness notice was not used, and after two days of sleep, Jiang Shang still managed to wake up.

The whole body is sore and uncomfortable, and the head is like a thousand birds singing in unison, feeling that the sky is shaking, and seeing people are ghosted.

When I woke up, I was going to ask Hongling about the battle now, but I was told that I wanted to make an important choice like a letter of intent for employment.

Originally, Jiang Shang still had a lot to ask, but seeing Hongling's current situation, he could only postpone it.

The girl's waist-length hair was stiffly missing, and there were still scorching marks on it, and the right arm that hung down weakly with a plaster cast was obviously not lightly injured.

But even so, Hong Ling's complexion was rarely serious.

"Well, there's a lot of background commentary. It's time for me to complete my mission."

"Now that you've become a Star Soul Messenger, there are some things I can tell you as well."

"On behalf of the Night Watch Association, I formally warn you, the star soul envoy of Jiang Taigong, King of Wucheng, Jiang Shang! Half a month ago, your news was leaked by the traitors of the Holy Flame Knights, oh, that knights have been in charge of the mission of secretly protecting you. Now, I'm afraid there are legions of outcasts and night watchmen who will target you. ”

It was understandable that the outcasts had killed themselves, but what did the night watchman ask him to do, but then, Jiang Shang suddenly realized.

"Is Huaibi guilty?"

"Yes, for forsaken beasts and forsakens, the Star Soul Manifester is the most delicious food. But for soul power cultivators, it is an irresistible temptation to additionally enhance Liliang's star soul......."

"There are a lot of things that have not been announced to the public, and in fact, only about sixty percent of the soul power users above the three-star level are registered with the association and accept the jurisdiction."

"The other forty percent are those who are mercenaries, those who pull a mountain and set themselves up as kings, those who are the dogs of the true gods, or those who simply enjoy happiness in other god-favored places. Even there are fallen people who serve evil gods and old gods. You can't expect every Night's Watch to trade with you in a proper manner. ”

"So, are you representing the Guild?"

"Yes, your original protector, the Holy Flame Knights themselves are in big trouble, but since you registered the only Star Soul Knight, Qi Liel. Jane (Cheryl. Jean) has returned, and the hunt should be done. However, half a month ago, the Knights of the Holy Flame could not spare a little manpower, all, they entrusted me to be your bodyguard through the Night Watch Association, and I also brought the Association to your choice. ”

Hearing that his childhood sweetheart who had been with him turned out to be his star soul knight, and it was estimated that he was still secretly responsible for protecting his own tasks, Jiang Shang did not change on his face, but he had all the flavors in his heart.

“… The golden figure before the coma was really her, the star soul manifestation of the Erlang God. Hongling, do you have any information about her? ”

"Of course, the star soul manifestation of Yang Jian, the true monarch of Qingyuan Miaodao, the daughter of the deputy head of the Holy Flame Knights, and a powerhouse who has been famous for a long time. But she is also famously elusive, and her star soul heroes generally don't listen to announcements, and now I want to come. Most of the time, it should be by your side to protect you. It has to be said that you chose a loyal and excellent knight. ”

Jiang Shang smiled a little bitterly, as if he owed a lot of favors invisibly.

"She's wrong? I seem to see her come back. ”

"Who do you think is taking care of you these two days? For two days and one night, the dignified Thousand Blades Takehime turned into a crying little girl, and I saw that she was about to hang up when she continued to stay up, and I drove her back to rest. ”

"Okay, I gave you this information, and I also brought the choice that the association gave you. Two choices, either change your name, change your face, and continue to live this shameless life with your little knight, of course, the association will regularly give you the alternates of the Star Soul Manifester, and it is enough for you to give the Star Soul, but as a reward for the Association's protection of you, those soul servants are not your private property. ”

"Or, go into the battlefield yourself and not accept the protection of the association. I brought you the admission letter of the Penglai Immortal Sect Demon Martial Academy, and in that relatively independent academy island, you should be able to find a candidate for the future Star Soul Knight. The guild will be very happy to see that three or four years later, a mature Star Soul Envoy and his subordinate Star Soul Knights will be born. ”

Undoubtedly, this is a major choice that amounts to a disagreement in life.

If you choose to accept the protection of the Guild and do not become a night watchman, then all your star souls must be surrendered, and if you choose to become a night watchman, then the association will provide some necessary help.

Hongling didn't say something, but Jiang Shang knew in his heart that there was a third choice that he didn't choose either.

And the forty percent of soul power cultivators generally oppose the jurisdiction of the association and use their abilities freely, I am afraid that Hong Ling, who represents the association, will become an enemy, and the association will not let a wild star soul move freely.

"Sure enough, it's the style of the association. If I choose to be a non-registered night watchman......"

"Trust me, you won't want to know what happened to those who toasted and didn't eat and drink. The guild can let go of some reckless bastards, but it can't let an evolutionary star soul let his talent go to waste. In the eyes of some people, the Star Soul is the wealth of all mankind, and the lower limit of the Night's Watch Association has always been quite low when it comes to safeguarding the interests of humanity as a whole. ”

With such an important choice, Jiang Shang couldn't make it for a while, and raised another question.

"Hongling, can you tell me more about the Star Soul Envoy? You said at the time that the Star Soul Envoy generally does not have the ability to fight directly......"

"Yes, generally not."

"The previous Star Soul Envoys themselves have no abilities suitable for combat, well, the Star Soul Envoy should be the hero who is most involved in mythological stories, and such a guy is often surprisingly weak. For example, in the star-studded Trojan Wars, in which the star souls turned out to be the weakest Agamemnon and Helen, the biblical myth of Genesis, who chose Longinus, who was blind. ”

"Needless to say, you are a military division-type Jiang Taigong, it seems that in the Romance of the Gods, you can be regarded as one of the weakest candidates."

It seemed that Hongling didn't know what she was capable of, and Jiang Shang wanted to say something, but he shook his head and didn't say anything.

"Is it the same with the other Star Soul Envoys?"

"As far as I know, most of the Star Soul Skills that the Star Soul Envoy has obtained along the way are auxiliary. The star soul envoy of Tang Seng in Journey to the West really has no second ability except nagging. Heh, he is a nagging uncle himself, and he gets the ability of the star soul, and he is even more nagging. ”

It seems that Hongling still knows the other party, and when she talks about Tang Seng's star soul envoy, she still shows a nostalgic smile, but immediately, it turned into a cautious warning.

"Personally, I don't recommend that you choose to go to war. The Star Soul Envoy's body is extremely weak, but it is extremely important, even with the protection of the knights, the death rate of the Star Soul Envoy is extremely high, and the uncle who is not self-sufficient is also inexplicably dead. ”

"Choose carefully." Hong Ling, who has always been full of confidence and recklessness, actually showed a hesitant look on her face at this time, she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.

But Hongling's dissuasion made Jiang Shang make up his mind, and he made his own choice.

"My choice? I ......."

I can't remember what it started for, but over the years, it has become a lifelong pursuit.

"What else is there to hesitate about, my choice, isn't it already decided."

"I want to go outside, and the first step is to become a real night watchman."
