Chapter 189: Chapter 154 I Will Attack in Gundam Form!

The ability of Soul Emergence was rather intriguing.

Due to this ability, Chen Yun exercised his telekinesis while he couldn’t help but ponder all morning.

According to modern science, consciousness is a highly complex functional state of the human brain, involving perception, thinking, emotions, self-awareness, and awareness of both external environments and internal mental activities.

In simple terms, consciousness allows us to perceive the world, think about problems, feel emotions, and be aware of our own existence and the events happening around us. It is the basis of subjective experience, covering everything from the most basic sensory experiences to more complex thinking processes such as making decisions and planning for the future.

From the perspective of neuroscience, consciousness is considered to be closely related to the cerebral cortex and its complex information processing network, embodying brain activity.

But now, his consciousness had emerged from his body.

It detached from the brain’s complex physiological activities, centering around a Spiritual Body, existing independently of his flesh and blood.

This was once unimaginable to him.

At this moment, it seemed not material that determined consciousness, but consciousness itself appeared to be capable of existing independently.

This implied so much.

It also gave rise to another eternal question:

Does the soul truly exist?

The existence of the "soul" is a profound question long-discussed in philosophy, religion, science, and other fields, without a unified answer. Different cultures, belief systems, and individuals have their varying understanding and interpretations.

Chen Yun had once delved deeply into this question long ago.

At that time, his conclusion was that it did not exist.

In places like hospitals and cemeteries, he had not found any lonely wandering spirits or ghosts.

And now, even though he was capable of Soul Emergence, he still did not believe in the soul’s existence.

After all, he felt that his state of Soul Emergence wasn’t really the soul, but rather a cluster formed by Spiritual Power.

However, in a sense, his Soul Emergence was equivalent to the soul’s emergence.

In many religious traditions, the soul is considered a supernatural, immortal entity, central to life and a carrier of individual identity.

The soul is commonly believed to be a non-material, thinking entity that exists independently of the body.

His Soul Emergence indeed allowed spiritual consciousness to operate independently beyond material existence.

So, if one must say this is the soul,

if one must say this independently functioning consciousness beyond material existence is the soul,

then only Chen Yun himself possessed it, while all other humans still lacked such a soul.

The thoughts of all other humans are still the product of neural electrical signals within their brains, lacking any spiritual power transcended from the material itself.

Everyone’s emotions, thoughts, and consciousness remain the result of the brain’s complex functions rather than an independently existing soul.

If there truly is a soul,

a quality that permits consciousness to function independently beyond material existence,

then only Chen Yun himself possessed it.

This unique nature made Chen Yun contemplate deeply for a long time.

It also intensified his gradually growing disregard for other humans.

Think about it.

The consciousness of everyone in the world seems predetermined by machinery, a manifestation of electrical signals traveling through neural networks.

It’s like a preset program.

Only Chen Yun’s consciousness had become an entity, hosted within the Spirit, independent and active beyond material existence.

It seems to have disconnected from the neural networks.

This feeling was different, a sense of being awake while others are intoxicated.

If one must describe it,

the world is a massive game, where all other people are just NPCs set by a string of data in the game, their so-called thoughts and consciousness nothing more than data processing.

Only Chen Yun, himself, was a player handling the game from outside.

His consciousness was not determined by data but existed beyond this realm of data.

This feeling had vaguely existed in Chen Yun before, but now the ability of Soul Emergence magnified this feeling infinitely.

Because of the ability of Soul Emergence, Chen Yun’s uniqueness was magnified infinitely from another perspective.

Thus, Chen Yun’s feeling of being special, and his perception of the world as fake, were also infinitely magnified.

After pondering for a long time,

Chen Yun soon stopped dwelling on it.

The ability of Soul Emergence was said to be significant and profound, but in reality, this ability itself still felt rather insignificant to Chen Yun.

Upon closer reflection, Soul Emergence, apart from allowing his consciousness to truly detach from the body, seemed rather useless.

The things that his Soul Emerged self could do, he could do without Soul Emergence as well.

In his Soul Emergence state, he possessed the trait of freely manipulating Spiritual Power within a defined domain centered around his flesh and blood.

Because in his Soul Emergence state, he was essentially a large cluster of Spiritual Power.

He could use all Spiritual Power attributes including Real-time Information Transmission, 3D perceptual modeling, perspective (cannot penetrate biological bodies), Emotion Perception, Telekinesis, Electromagnetic Wave Perception Basic Version, Emotion Stimulation, and super visual-range perception as expected.

But since he could only manipulate Spiritual Power within the domain centered around his flesh and blood, it indeed seemed better not to use Spiritual Power directly in a non-Soul Emerged state.
