"The ...... of the Astral Spirit Realm Travels? Zhao Nan frowned, and took the notebook from Xu Yang's hand.

The beautiful teacher Xu Yang has carefully translated all the words on it and the skills of his sub-profession.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with this travelogue." Xu Yang nodded and said, "Didn't Locke mention that Teacher Ulysses had traveled to the Star Spirit Realm and wrote a travelogue?" I think that's it. ”

Zhao Nan opened it carefully.

On the title page, the words "What is the world like?" is written. ”

"What the hell is the world like?" Zhao Nan subconsciously read it along, and said in amazement: "What does Ulysses mean by writing this sentence on the title page?" ”

"Astral Spirit Realm...... Well, isn't the astral realm that we have reached in the past able to take in the strong people who died in the past era? I guess the teacher is trying to find out the reason for this, right? There are many places on the notes where the teacher's speculation is written. But I haven't had time to take a closer look and scrutinize it. ”

Zhao Nan smiled and said, "It's okay to translate, just leave these questions to me." Now it is more important for you to concentrate on improving your strength. ”

Xu Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhao Nan, ...... this notebook?"

"Locke and Sisi are missing......"

Zhao Nan talked about the things he had encountered in that forest during this time, including the existence of the Sea Clan Legion...... It's just that the section where Marshal Sihai intends to detonate the water veins of the earth is omitted.

"The Sage's Tower has disappeared?" Xu Yang listened, with an incredulous expression, "How could this kind of thing happen?" And even Locke and Sisi ......"

Zhao Nan sighed and said, "This is also what I don't understand...... Maybe there will be some clues on top of this notebook or something. Otherwise......"

Zhao Nan's palm pressed on the notebook and rubbed it gently: "It's too strange that only the thing it left behind." ”

"I'm so worried about Rock and Sisi."

Zhao Nan reached out and grabbed the other party's palm. He said softly, "It's always the same, but they're still alive, at least not the worst case." Actually, I was more inclined to Ulysses to hide from something than to disappear suddenly. It's just that it's a bit weird that the tower of the philosophers has disappeared along with it...... Maybe there's something I haven't noticed. ”

Xu Yang smiled bitterly: "Isn't your Absolute Spirit Circle capable of dominating the environment?" If you can't even find this, wouldn't it ......"

Zhao Nan shook his head and said, "What is found is only the appearance, the cause and effect. There is still a need for scrutiny. The Absolute Spiritual Circle is not omnipotent...... After all, it's a question of strength. ”

Sighing slightly, Zhao Nan stretched out his hand and pressed Xu Yang's cheek and said, "However, if you have been like this bitter gourd for a long time, I may not be able to concentrate on thinking about this matter." ”

Xu Yang smiled bitterly: "You are trying too hard. Notes, let me help too. Otherwise, I'd almost feel like I'm useless. ”

"Then ...... Comfort me a little. ”

……

……

- Whether it's humans, elves, or orcs...... Even the Tianyi clan and so on, there is no doubt about it. They all have souls. And the existence of the soul clan is the best proof of the existence of the soul.

After Xu Yang got dressed again and left, Zhao Nan began to open the few basics on hand. Flip the title page and start reading the first page.

――Since we have souls, how should we deal with them when they die? Why do strong souls last for a long time, and why do weak souls slowly dissipate...... Why are there souls that can live forever who can enter the astral realm? Why can I survive for a long time? But souls that can't enter the Star Spirit Realm can't escape the fate of extinction in the end?

-- Since the Long Epoca. This qiē is repeated......

――This is the fifth layer of the Star Spirit Realm, and I have met the so-called Star Spirit nobles, and they who have retrieved their memories before death are indeed extremely powerful. I think any of the Star Spirits here would be the overlord of the Eighth Age if they appeared in the Paradise of the Eighth Age.

Page by page of Ulysses' notes, tracing his footsteps. Zhao Nan, who was just passing by in a hurry in the Star Spirit Realm, had a new understanding of the Star Spirit Realm.

Suddenly, a text with a questioning tone broke into Zhao Nan's sight.

- I've been in the astral realm for 400 years. What strikes me as strange is that I have touched the same star spirit twice. It's a huge place, though. If you keep moving around, you will probably encounter the same star spirit. But that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. For example, right now, I've met this guy from the Alien Era.

- What I was curious about was that the other party seemed to have completely forgotten about my existence, and his strength was not as strong as it was when I first met...... What makes me feel incredible is that at this time, he is in a state where he has not fully retrieved his memory.

――I once jokingly said, haven't you already retrieved your memories?

- He said: How is it possible, if that were the case, I should not think about it now, because I feel distressed because my strength has reached a certain limit.

- Yes! He was right, if the era was complete, how could he feel distressed because of the so-called bottleneck that had already been passed? But what the hell is the reason for this, I have never been able to figure it out.

……

-- Thousands of years have passed, and I still haven't found the answer. I've never seen anything like that...... It was as if something was preventing me from seeking the truth. Because after that, I haven't seen a single star spirit for the second time. I'm referring to the second encounter after a long absence.

……

――In the gap between the sixth and seventh layers of the Astral Spirit Realm, I finally met the descendant of my old comrade-in-arms, Juventus. This powerful ancient arcanist. I once asked Juventus to follow me out of the Astral Realm and return to Paradise again, but he refused.

- He said: I haven't defeated those demon kings on the seventh layer yet, and if I leave here just now, I won't be reconciled.

- Yes, the ancient arcanists were a bunch of madmen. From the first generation, to the current generation of Juventus, all are a bunch of belligerent madmen. As a mage, why can't you be a little more elegant?

……

- I can't get into the seventh floor. Maybe it's my lack of strength, maybe there's something I'm lacking...... And the time spent in the Star Spirit Realm seems to have reached its limit. My body is beginning to assimilate with the strange powers that are unique to this place, and if I stay, I'm afraid I'll have to transform into a star spirit and stay here forever.

……

――A question suddenly occurred to me. If the star spirits still exist in the form of souls, then what is the force that supports them and does not dissipate? In other words, what is the reason why they are qualified not to dissipate?

……

- One thousand one hundred and thirty-four years, which is already the limit, I must leave the Star Spirit Realm...... My body has become a ten-year-old child, if I continue, will I become a star spirit orb?

……

--When it was finally time to leave, a strange idea broke into my heart when the space suddenly opened up. If the world is a mixture of truth and falsehood...... Is it true that only souls who can enter the astral spirit realm? And because it's not a real soul, it will eventually dissipate? And I'm ...... Is it true or fake?

It's been hours and hours.

Zhao Nan even read the contents of this notebook word by word, and this was already the last page...... Or rather, the contents of the last page.

"Here, there are traces of being torn apart? Last page...... What else. ”

Zhao Nan looked at the colophon, where there were very slight marks left by the writing of some pen nibs.

"Manifest."

With a low murmur, the slight imprint at the bottom seemed to regain its original clarity. Although there is no way to reproduce the last page that has disappeared, if the imprint can be clear, it will be the same for Zhao Nan.

Finally, the rubbing is done, and the same is true when translating. And since this last page is torn off......

However, the imprint that became clear at this moment was ......

"Question mark?"

Lots of question marks!

There are no regular, not even rowed, messy question marks. As if there were countless questions in his heart, Zhao Nan seemed to be able to feel the mood of Ulysses who wrote these question marks at that time.

"What did he see last......"

Closing the notebook again, Zhao Nan sighed slowly. This travelogue brought him a great deal of insight into the astral realm. In the end, however, the only thing that caught his attention was the strange star spirit that Ulysses had encountered, and the final question.

- I'm real or not.

"I didn't think Ulysses would be able to find out about this......"

The notebook in his hand suddenly burst into a bright red flame.

Little by little, it was reduced to ashes...... What is recorded here is probably the secret of the truth that has been stored in the world so far...... Clues.

"The Star Spirit Realm will not accept false souls...... Zhao Nan muttered to himself, "Ulysses, since you can have a way to smuggle into the Star Spirit Realm, it proves that your soul is real." If you're here, I can even answer that question. ”

Silently looking at the screen of the control room, looking at the pitch-black sea level, Zhao Nan said softly: "This world ...... More than ninety percent of living beings are not born naturally, but are deliberately created as counterfeits. And what's even more ridiculous...... They don't know it. (To be continued......)
