I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 264 Even Souls Are Divided into Different Levels
"Soulstones? Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Isabella turned sideways and glanced at the orc walking towards her with a strange look.

"Could it be that your Elven friends want to buy Soul Stones from you? If so, you'd better sell them for a good price. The Soul Stones you found in the Conspiracy Clan's treasury are all top-quality items passed down from the ancient Elven race, much better than those made by the Ark Elven race themselves."

Li Nuo raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had ever heard that soul stones were also divided into different grades.

"Don't interrupt, just tell me how to use the Soul Stone." Li Nuo stopped and crossed his arms.

Isabella smiled, a slight upturn to her lips.
“Even if I told you, you still couldn’t use it. Soulstones can only be used by the souls of the Spirit Race; this is the underlying soul code written inside the Soulstone. The same goes for soul conduits. You’re lucky; I can help you, and my skills are far superior to those peasants from the Ark Spirit Race.”

Li Nuo asked:

"Can any kind of soul be stored in a soul stone?"

Isabella thought for a moment, then shook her head:
"To be honest, the conditions for storing souls are very strict. We, the Spirit Race, divide souls into five levels..."

Isabella imparts common knowledge about the "soul".

The subspace is also known as the Sea of ​​Souls.

Fifth-class souls are devoid of gods and intelligence. After their physical bodies perish, these souls transform into subspace energy.

The most typical example is that when a large number of life forms die on a planet, the warp will be stirred up by the warp energy transformed from souls.

Fourth-class souls: atheistic and intellectually deficient.

The physical body of such a soul is generally that of a psychic.

They can initially sense and utilize subspace energy, but they cannot change their fate after death; they will still become subspace energy.

Third-class souls: atheistic, highly intelligent.

These souls recognize the truth of the warp and know how to use the power of meditation and faith to shape their own warp beings within the warp.

If a third-class soul successfully conceives a subspace creature during its lifetime, it can merge with the subspace creature after the physical body is destroyed, thus gaining temporary immortality.

It is said to have achieved immortality because, after becoming a subspace creature, it truly no longer needs to worry about its lifespan.

Its lifespan is short because these weak subspace creatures are quickly devoured by other subspace creatures.

Second-class souls: weak gods, highly intelligent.

A third-class soul successfully created a warp creature and merged with it after the physical body disappeared.

If it can continue to draw spiritual power such as "emotions" and "faith" from the real universe, it can continue to grow.

At this point, it possessed the rudiments of a subspace deity.

First-class soul, powerful god, high intelligence.

Second-class souls are the rudiments of subspace deities without physical bodies.

Based on this, a second-class soul can penetrate the real universe, condense its own physical container in the real universe, regain a physical body, and then be promoted to a first-class soul.

"Wait, Isabella. Now that you've become a warp deity, why bother forming a physical body in the real universe? Isn't that just creating a weakness for yourself?"

Li Nuo was very confused.

Isabella chuckled:
Did you know that there is no concept of time in warp space?

“Of course.” Li Nuo nodded, then his pupils contracted as he suddenly realized:

"Wow, I get it!"
"Assume that the point in time when a second-class soul abandons its original physical body is A."

"It can penetrate into the real universe at time point B through the subspace and condense a physical body at time point B!"
"If A's date is later than B's, the first-class soul will travel to the past; if it's the other way around, it will travel to the future!"

Isabella looked on with satisfaction and admiration, as if she were looking at a highly talented student:
"I didn't realize you had such a talent for soul technology. You're right, the biggest difference between a second-class soul and a first-class soul lies in whether it can precisely control the timing of its infiltration into the real universe. Now let's return to our previous topic: can any kind of soul be stored in a soul stone?"

Isabella raised her index finger and shook it:
"You've probably already guessed the answer. Fifth and fourth-class souls can be stored in soul stones. Third and second-class souls, since they can live in the subspace, we must first bring them from the subspace to the real universe before we can store them in soul stones. As for first-class souls, don't even think about it; you'll never know how many spacetime clones a first-class soul has."

Li Nuo frowned in thought.

Based on the knowledge imparted by Isadora, the Primarch should be a pseudo-second-class soul.

They can become complete warp gods simply by abandoning their physical bodies and embracing the essence of the warp.

"Are you planning to make a move against Loga?" Isabella asked out of the blue.

Li Nuo snapped out of his daze and, after a moment's thought, understood why the other party had asked that question.

Last time, Isabella helped her read the soul code of Eribas and learned some secrets.

Now he is asking about storing souls.

Connecting the two events, Isabella could easily arrive at a reasonable deduction.

Seeing Li Nuo's serious expression, as if she had guessed correctly, Isabella clicked her tongue and chuckled:
"Logar Aurelion, the Primarch of the Imperium of Man, one of the Emperor's 21 offspring, is definitely a second-class soul. Although I don't know why you want to deal with him, I advise you not to go looking for death."

Li Nuo snorted, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and turned to leave.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, slowly turned around, and his eyes became extremely solemn:
"How many offspring did you just say?"

"21, what's wrong?"

Li Nuo's heart was pounding!

He had inquired within the human empire and learned that there was no Alpha Legion in this world; the Primarchs list published by the empire contained only 17 individuals.

There are 21 Primarchs. If you remove Alpharis and Omega, there are 19. If you remove the two that were expelled from the Empire, there are 17.

Li Nuo had previously encountered Alpha Reis acting alone and deeply suspected that although there was no Alpha Legion in the world, there were still Alpha Reis and Omega.

Now, Isabella's words and his guesses were correct.

Li Nuo took a slight breath, trying to keep his voice steady:
Who exactly are these 21 offspring you mentioned?

Isabella counted on her fingers and recited 21 names.

Two of the names were unfamiliar to Li Nuo; they were likely the genetic prototypes of the Second and Eleventh Legions, which had been erased by the Human Empire.

The names of the other Primarchs are familiar to Lino, with Alphareth and Omega prominently listed. (Note 1)

Li Nuo's curiosity about the secrets of the empire ultimately overshadowed his thoughts on Alpharis and Omega, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What did the Primarchies of the Second and Eleventh Legions do wrong?"

Isabella leaned closer and whispered:
"I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone else, those two..."

The two whispered to each other for a while.

Li Nuo suddenly realized:

“So that’s how it is. Those two Primarchs didn’t die unjustly. But speaking of which, how do you know so much about them? The Second and Eleventh Legions, as well as the Alpha Omega twins, must be top secrets within the Imperium of Man.”

Isabella shrugged, looking relaxed.
"So what if it's top secret? In the eyes of many beings with the ability to foresee the future, so-called top secret is nothing special. The Black Heart Conspiracy once captured a prophet of the Ark Eldar. To save his life, that guy would tell us whatever we asked. I was there at the time, so it's normal for me to know my monkey's secret, right?"

Li Nuo was speechless and could only give a thumbs up to the torture methods used by the Elven prophet and Black Sprout.

This just reminded him.

He can use prophetic methods to find the Primarch's whereabouts; he doesn't necessarily need to ask Satana for help.

"Can you make prophecies?" Li Nuo asked.

Isabella pouted:
"If I could predict the future, would you have caught me?"

"Oh, too."

Li Nuo and Isabella discussed a plan to deal with Loka.

To predict the whereabouts of the Primarch, one must at least be a member of the Eldar of the Ark, or a member of the Council of the Prophets.

If the object of the prophecy is someone with extremely high psychic abilities, like Magnus or Loka, then one must seek out the Supreme Prophet. Those responsible for storing and caring for souls are the Soul Prophets of the Ark Eldar, super-elite personnel whose status is only slightly lower than members of the Prophet Council.

Isabella learned her soul-storing skills from the Bloodwalkers, and she is far inferior to the Soul Prophet.

Ultimately, Li Nuo still needs to establish connections with the Ark Eldar.

“I’ll borrow your phrase from last time,” Isabella said with a smile.
“I have connections within the Eldar of the Ark who can help you summon a Supreme Prophet and a Soul Prophet. The risks are high, but the rewards are substantial. Would you like to consider it?”

"Let me think about it some more."

Li Nuo turned and left, not giving Isabella a chance to discuss it.

Just kidding, I have so many orc vests at my disposal, none of them are less reliable than Isabella.

In addition, before seeking help from the Supreme Prophet, Li Nuo needs to confirm whether the sealing technique can seal Koz, and if so, how much sealing yeast is needed.

Li Nuo logged off on the spot, woke up in his bed at home, and manually searched for orcs near Conrad Coz.

The system interface displayed many search results, all pointing to primitive and backward orcs, that is, the kind of orc group that has just been born and has nothing.

Li Nuo calculated the time.

It would take the primitive orcs at least a month to build a spaceship from scratch, so they might as well mobilize a Palu fleet and go to Koz through the network.

At this point, it's time for the special disguise for those who use dirty tricks—Big Black Fang 2nd Generation—to be launched.

With a thought, consciousness instantly switches.

Li Nuo arrived at Big Black Tooth's bridge, where the bastards were wiping the floor and the boys were idly playing cards.

With no sparkly items to grab, everyone's practically bored out of their minds.

"Kids! Get moving!" Li Nuo jumped onto the command platform, raising his force field sword high:

"Brother Mao pointed me in the right direction! There's a huge treasure in the Alatman sector of the Hazy Starfield! It's guaranteed to make us rich! Let's go! WAAAAAGH————"

Li Nuo's shouts were completely unnecessary.

Even before he jumped onto the command platform, the idle young men had already started working.

The young helmsman flipped the switch with a series of clicks, excitedly shouting:
"Start, start, start, and this too~~~~"

Seeing that the young helmsman was about to steer the ship into subspace, Li Nuo quickly gave the order:

"Take the network path. Brother Mao said that the entrance to the network path in this place leads directly to the destination."

Li Nuo pointed to the star map.

"Alright!" The young helmsman began sub-light speed travel.

A short while later, the Black Fang Fleet disappeared into the net tunnel.

A while later, on the edge of the Aratman sector, five green-skinned pirate ships leaped out of the net tunnel.

This sector has no sector governor, is relatively underdeveloped, and contains only three Imperial worlds and one alien world that is being attacked by Expedition 85.

To avoid making his actions too abrupt, Li Nuo commanded his fleet to harass the Imperial world first, like true space privateers, looting everywhere.

This action lasted for two days, causing chaos in the Aratman sector.

Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently built, Li Nuo led the fleet to the alien world where Koz was located.

Big Gold Tooth's fleet arrived at the scene via subspace travel.

Just then, Li Nuo encountered an unexpected scene.

A large number of green-skinned ships followed closely behind Big Gold Tooth's fleet to the vicinity of the planet.

These ships bore the insignia of the warlords of the Ulanor Orc Empire, and were not affiliated with Li Nuo.

They were numerous, with no fewer than thirty battleships alone.

When Li Nuo saw the largest ship among them, he was suddenly stunned.

"Wolf Blade"!
It turned out to be the long-lost "Wolf Blade"!
"Boss, the Ulanor orcs' fire control radar has locked onto us. Should we make a run for it?"

Find Dongdong the kid and send out a warning.

Li Nuo quickly thought and issued the order:
"Raise the green barrier and retreat at full speed."

"okay."

The Big Gold Tooth fleet sped away from the planet.

Meanwhile, Expedition 85, stationed in near-surface orbit around the planet, discovered two groups of green-skinned fleets.

The radar of Expeditionary Force No. 85 simultaneously locked onto the Big Gold Tooth Fleet and the Ulano Fleet.

At this point, the alien civilization on the planet has been almost completely wiped out, and the battle is entering its final stages.

The sudden appearance of two groups of green-skinned soldiers put the expedition team, who hadn't had time to rest, back into a state of tension.

As the Big Gold Tooth Fleet withdrew from the battlefield, the expeditionary force and the Ulano Fleet simultaneously lifted their lock on the Big Gold Tooth Fleet.

The next second, the battle broke out.

Expedition 85 and the Ulanno Fleet raised their shields and unleashed their full firepower, engaging in fierce combat near the planet's near-surface orbit.

Li Nuo stared at the "Wolf Blade," his mind racing, a strong premonition forming in his heart:

Ulger on the Wolf Blade was definitely there for Koz!

"Kid, keep an eye out for the boarding signal from the Ulanno fleet."

"Okay, boss." Dongdong typed on the keyboard, adjusting the engine signal of the Bang Bang Flying Car to the top priority for signal collection.

The Ulano fleet abandoned other targets and concentrated its attack on the flagship of Expedition 85, the "Nightfall".

Such ferocious firepower would not last long even for a Void Shield of the Glory Queen level.

Fifteen minutes later, the "Nightfall" began to flash its void shield, which was ineffective against low-speed, low-mass flying objects.

The opportunity to switch sides has arrived.

The dot graph shows engine signals the size of grains of rice, indicating extremely fast movement, highly agile steering, and near-zero inertia.

These signals, originating from the battleship Ulano, swarmed toward the Nightfall like bees.

Li Nuo took a deep breath and calmly gave the order:

"Send out ten 'Bangbang' flying cars; their target is Shrimp's 'Nightfall.' That ship has some incredible treasure. The fleet should continue to stay away from the battlefield and not get involved in the fighting."

The messenger, unsuspecting, relayed his boss's orders.

Before long, ten bang-bang ships, far faster than the Ulano fleet, roared out.

The "Mr. Mao" force field concealed the spacecraft's engine signals and exhaust plume, while the optical stealth force field erased their outlines.

They were only exposed and noticed by all parties when they crashed into the outer armor of the "Nightfall".

"Boss, 'Wolf Blade' wants to talk to you. Should we connect?"

Li Nuoyi waved his hand:

"Never mind that, let's jump into the subspace and leave. We'll come back to pick up the people after we've got those ten bang-bang vehicles."

Li Nuo opened the Waaagh simulation interface, selected the orc on the Bang Bang Flying Car, and started the simulation.
