Chapter 539: Chapter 532: Rebirth of the Soul

"A container for another type of soul?" Luo’er asked after a moment of confusion.

"It should be the spirit!" Tangmo said, somehow arriving unnoticed at his side. She had just taken some liquid from within a device, preparing to take it back to Earth for research.

"Spirit?" Luo’er was stupefied for a moment, but quickly caught on. Right, the reason why Fulajie’er’s soul was bound and didn’t dissipate, and why her body didn’t die, was precisely because of the spirit’s existence.

"What’s going on here?" Nightingale stared intently at the device in his hand and asked coldly.

"Only a part of another type of soul is in Fulajie’er’s body, um, what you call... spirit, how to explain, well..." Gude rubbed his nose and then explained patiently, "During the experimentation on her, we noticed that Fulajie’er’s body condition was poor. Based on her physical condition at the time, it was very likely that the spirit would leak out from her body."

"Can the spirit leak out of the body?" Luo’er asked, perplexed.

"Of course, a broken body is like a broken vessel, and the spirit is like sand, it can easily leak out." Gude explained.

"Alright, that’s the theory of your world." Luo’er scratched his head and acknowledged.

This is something your father secretly left to me, a device that pairs with the Soul Ascension device. Your father’s research report mentioned that this is a device for storing a complete soul and... spirit after soul ascension." Gude accepted the new terminology quite quickly.

"Can you be more specific?" As soon as he heard this, Luo’er immediately became interested in this device.

"I can," Gude nodded, then continued, "The ancestors created the Soul Ascension device to break free from the constraints of the body. Humans suffer from birth, aging, sickness, and death, but the soul does not. To achieve immortality, one must discard the fleshly bonds. When the body is about to die, the ancestors used ascension and this device to extract the soul and spirit from the body and store them in this device. Then, they created a body with magic and infused it with magic, ultimately transforming into a divine form."

"Isn’t this the Creating God Plan?" Luo’er’s eyes widened as he asked.

"Correct, the Creating God Plan is not our creation, we are only restarting the ancestor’s plan. However, due to various reasons, the materials and data required for this project are extremely scarce, so we had no choice but to undertake long-term research experiments." Gude said.

"So you captured those girls and used them for experiments in order to replicate the ancestors’ technology?" Luo’er asked, watching him closely.

"Yes, Derexia had already made initial progress and did not need to go to such lengths. However, the Ancient States council hastened to succeed and sent Theron to interfere in this matter. Derexia did not want to launch this project as a military plan, so she escaped with the materials and devices. She took away many documents and some data, most of which were retrieved by Theron, but no matter what he did, he could not find the devices."

Gude glanced at Nightingale and continued, "Rumour has it that Derexia hid those things, only her daughter knows where they are hidden. Therefore, without hesitating, Theron...Night...Nightingale... brought Fulajie’er to the God Creation base to try to find out from her where the batch of items is."

Hearing this, Luo’er finally understood. No wonder Nightingale fled to the North at all costs, it was because of Theron’s pursuit. The North despises the people of the Ancient States, and Theron is even more hard-pressed to stand there. Although Nightingale had a hard life in the North, it was much better than being caught by Theron.

"So, did you use this device to hold Fulajie’er’s spirit?" Luo’er asked with a furrowed brow.

"To be exact, it’s most of the spirit. Fulajie’er’s frail body would gradually drain the spirit and one day her spirit would completely leak out. When that happens, her body will die, and her soul will also dissipate. There were many test subjects living here, but many disappeared this way, their remains were carried off and cremated by Theron." Gude said.

"So, you’re saying that the reason Fulajie’er can maintain her ghost state is not due to the restraint of her body, but from the restraint of this device?" Luo’er hesitantly asked.

"Yes, like a body, this device can bind the soul as long as it houses the spirit. The ancestors used this method to temporarily store their own souls, waiting for the construction of the body." Gude explained.

"So she..." Luo’er looked at Fulajie’er’s body as he spoke.

"Even if you were to release it, Fulajie’er wouldn’t be able to return to her body." Gude shook his head.

"No, no, it can’t be like this," Nightingale exclaimed as she tore the collar from Fulajie’er’s neck. No miracle happened - Fulajie’er laid there, eyes still closed.

"No, no, no, how could this happen..." At this moment, Nightingale finally broke, cradling Fulajie’er and sobbing.

"So you’re saying that Fulajie’er’s soul can temporarily reside in that device, right?" Luo’er looked at Gude for answers.

"Not yet!" Gude shook his head. "Currently, Fulajie’er can only hide in her body, she is unable to hide inside the device."

"Why?" Luo’er asked, confused.

"She must undergo Soul Ascension again, completely fitting her soul in the device. Once inside, she won’t be able to manifest as a ghost, she will have to sleep eternally in the device until she becomes a goddess," Gude explained.

"So you’re saying, once Fulajie’er goes in, she can’t come out unless she becomes a goddess?" Luo’er’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes." Gude nodded.

"What the hell use is that!" Luo’er angrily complained.

Truthfully, he wished Fulajie’er would come back to life, not be turned into a ghost or to eternally sleep in an urn.

"Sir," Tangmo suddenly stepped forward, his demeanor more mature than his years. "If we put Fulajie’er’s soul into the device now and turn her into a goddess, could it be done?"

"It’s possible, provided that the area wasn’t destroyed. The energy required for the Soul Ascension is plentiful enough. However, manufacturing a body..." Gude trailed off hesitantly.

"What, does it take a long time?" Tangmo asked.

"No, creating a body the size of an ordinary human doesn’t take much time. But presently, we don’t know Fulajie’er’s data, so an adaptation test may be required. Plus, that fellow Kuya currently occupies the body-manufacturing device." Gude said uncomfortably.

"I know Fulajie’er’s data!" Nightingale sniffled and set Fulajie’er’s body aside to join the conversation.

At her words, Luo’er suddenly remembered. Nightingale had once turned Fulajie’er into a goddess, but the Magic Array hadn’t lasted long. According to the previous theory, a test was needed to match the spirit and body, but a specially tailored body didn’t require this. This body was crafted especially for this spirit.

"So, we just need to get rid of that guy, and we can use the equipment there, right?" Tangmo suggested, looking towards the white light streaming in from the door.

"Exactly, Moumou, you’re so clever!" Luo’er exclaimed, hugging Tangmo tightly and planting a kiss on her forehead.

"Wait, really," flustered by Luo’er’s sudden display of affection, Tangmo blushed and lowered her head, "Then why didn’t you kiss me on the lips just now?"

"Alright, our goal now is to tell that ’god’ to piss off, and use the device there to resurrect Fulajie’er!" Luo’er announced, feeling a surge of confidence towards the door from where the light was flooding in.

"Yes!" Tangmo responded, standing obediently beside Luo’er like a demure young woman.

"Let’s get started. Evacuate everyone and clear the field. We’re going in for the big fight!" Luo’er turned and declared with an air of bravado.
