Chapter Twenty-Six: The "Inferior Nature" of Human Beings
More than 5,000 years ago, the soul realm met this world.
The Soul Eaters have also gradually begun to invade this world.
In the initial battles, both sides were mainly exploratory battles, and no large-scale wars broke out.
Until about 3,000 years ago, the distance between the two worlds was reduced to the limit, and even the outer layers of the world barrier appeared to partially intersect.
And with this opportunity, the Soul Eaters began to attack in a big way.
In order to avoid the destruction of the souls, several powers in this world jointly cast the secret method of "World Law", and carried out the "strongest" delayed attack on them without the knowledge of the Soul Eater.
In the early days of the secret method, except for the existence of the great power level, only a few high-ranking members of the monk army knew about it.
Confidentiality, no doubts.
As the "laws of the world" gradually came into play, the soul eaters who invaded this world became weaker and weaker "unconsciously".
In order to minimize casualties, the army of monks who faced the Soul Eater adopted a strategy of fighting and retreating, and giving in at the beginning of the implementation of the "Law of the World".
As a result, the armies of the monks continued to retreat in battle, while the army of the Eaters of Souls triumphed along the way.
More than a thousand years have passed like this.
A large number of the world's edges have been overrun by the Soul Eaters.
However, just as the Soul Eater Clan had stabilized its position and was ready to continue to pursue while it was victorious, the army of monks suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack.
The Soul Eater warriors, who had been paralyzed by victory for a long time, had a contempt for the monks of this world, and they didn't care too much about this sudden counterattack.
And they have not yet realized that their strength has been weakened by the dilution of "existence".
On the other hand, the army of monks has been restricted by the upper echelons before, unable to fight a happy enemy, and can only watch their "homeland" fall.
At this moment, everyone breathed a sigh of anger.
And this counteroffensive is a good time to vent that full of blood.
In such a state of "disparity", the results of the soldiers of the two armies are self-evident - the defeat of the Soul Eater Clan.
Although the Soul Eaters have strange abilities and their true average strength is stronger than that of the Terran monks, after being weakened by the "laws of the world", they are simply unable to resist the imposing army of monks.
For thousands of years, most of the area occupied by the Soul Eaters was recaptured by the army of monks in just a few years.
At this time, the high-level leaders of the Soul Eater Clan had already known the "new law" that was in the implementation stage through their own methods.
But there's nothing they can do about it.
Because the nascent "laws of the world" have been firmly rooted in the whole world for thousands of years, and they are not at all able to shake them.
Soul Eater, defeat is decided.
But even in this case, the Dreaded Soul Eater King, who was the vanguard general of the Soul Eater Clan, still didn't think of giving up.
Through the battles with human monks over the years, the Dreadsoul Eater has discovered one of the "inferior roots" of human monks, that is, they cherish their fellow people too much.
In the perception of the Soul Eater, for the development and inheritance of the entire race, an individual's life is just a tool that can be discarded at any time.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Fear Soul Eater King, the culture of human beings who "cherish their kindred", or such a nature, is really stupid.
With this, it has developed a plan, a "Law Erosion Escape Plan" that is most likely to succeed of all the plans of the Soul Eaters.
The idea of the Dreadsoul Eater is simple.
Since the power of this world, in order to reduce the sacrifice of his kindred, is willing to risk "losing the war directly", at the cost of his own temporary weakness, he will release the world-class secret method.
So what if the "law" he modified suddenly threatened some of his kindred?
Even if it's only a tiny fraction of their kind, the Dreadsoul Eater is confident that the Terran powers will strike again to solve this problem.
As for whether the Terran power can find a means to shield the law, the Fear Soul Eater King is also relatively sure.
After all, it was the power of this world that created the "law of the world" with secret methods.
In order to accomplish his plan, the Dreadsoul Eater spent a full eight hundred years preparing.
As a soul ancestor creation, the Soul Eater has a strong soul talent, and is born with the ability to devour souls.
However, the Fear Soul Eater King spent a whole hundred years researching a special soul devouring method specifically for human souls, and named it "Soul Burning Devouring"
As the name suggests, it is a means of burning one's own soul to forcibly devour it.
If the Soul Eaters devour human souls in this way, even if they succeed, they will still lose consciousness on the spot, and over time, gradually turn into a lifeless soul qi.
As for failure, it is a direct end.
However, it was such a secret method that was like "suicide", and the Dreaded Soul Eater taught it to all his subordinates, and told them to use it as soon as they saw humans.
At this time, the Soul Eater Clan had been completely defeated, and after the continuous weakening of the laws of the world, the average combat power of individuals was far lower than that of the Terran monks.
Therefore, their "crazy" behavior was only regarded as a last struggle, and did not attract anyone's attention.
Not long afterward, another "special" monk appeared "by chance".
When he was attacked by several Soul Eaters at the same time, he resisted the first Soul Eater's "Soul Devourer", and suddenly had an additional Soul Eater secret method called "Soul Burning Devouring" in his mind.
After the soul battle, the situation of having more memories of the other party is called a mixture of memories and souls.
In the years of fighting between the Terran monks and the Soul Eaters, this kind of mixed soul is not uncommon, and it is even more common after the Soul Eaters start their "suicide attacks".
But this time, what this monk obtained through the Soul Remembrance Mixture was the complete Soul Eater Secret Method, and it was still the secret method that was currently the most headache for the monks' army, Soul Burning Devouring.
This secret method obtained through soul exchange is more profound than the soul imprint, and can be performed with just a thought of the mind.
"Anyway, it's death horizontally and vertically, it's better to fight, and killing one more is also earning."
With this in mind, the monk directly launched the Soul Burning Devour.
Fortunately, this monk's strength was already stronger than those Soul Eaters besieging him, but he suffered from the fact that there were more opponents, and the Soul Devouring they used was too fierce.
But now, he also has the Burning Soul Devour, and the situation is reversed in an instant.
In just a blink of an eye, all the Soul Eaters besieging him were swallowed up by him.
……
When the monk returned to his legion, he immediately handed over the secret technique he had obtained "accidentally" to the higher-ups.
And the monks who were specifically responsible for the Soul Eater Clan's exercises also studied, analyzed, and improved it, and then taught it to all the participating monks.
After being improved, this secret method of burning souls devouring is like tailor-made for humans, and there will be no serious side effects like those of the Soul Eaters.
The human race, which was already in an absolute advantage, became even more unstoppable after having this secret method.
However, there is a slight problem: when a human monk and a Soul Eater are of equal strength, there is a possibility that there will be a "coexistence of souls" - a special situation of mutual destruction.
Since the Soul Eater is a kind of soul life, when the two sides use the Soul Devouring Battle, and finally until the strength is exhausted, but no one has anything to do with anyone, the soul of the Soul Eater will remain in the monk's body, entangled with the soul of the monk himself, forming a soul coexistence.
Of course, this is an isolated case.
But in such a vast battlefield, even if it is an individual case, the number of its appearances is definitely not to be underestimated.
In the case of soul coexistence, there will be an unconscious Soul Eater soul in the monk's body, and then this Soul Eater soul will gradually turn into soul energy, causing continuous trauma to the monk's soul, causing it to eventually become an irreversible dementia.
If a Soul Coexistence Cultivator wants to return to normal, the only way to do this is to remove the extra Soul Eater Soul in his body in time with the help of a high-level Soul Cultivator.
At first, since the battle was never interrupted, all the monks whose souls coexisted would be healed in time.
But as the Soul Eater's resistance became weaker and weaker, a gap began to emerge in the battle.
In fact, there was a "big incident" of monks with souls who were not treated in time, and as a result, they became demented.
