Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 131 Different Possibilities

"Can I... think about it some more?"

When Suliman held the card, no one else felt anything; the most surprised person was Rean on the stage.

He knew that this girl was special.

Born into a noble family, yet seemingly having weathered some storms.

Now he has become a confidant of the royal family, and has made a name for himself. In the eyes of outsiders, he is the most loyal of the loyalists and the most trusted of the royal family's confidants.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, her greatest title in this life will be Chief Sudar.

For such people, it's not that they don't understand the importance of power, but rather that authority and choosing sides are their top priorities.

With money and status, even powerful people can be bought off.

Of course, if you can become a top-tier fighter, like the goddess floating above the city, or a legend like Purple Rose, that's a different story.

When you can crush the power holders of the mortal world with one hand, then power actively pursues you, hoping to bring you into its system. But reaching that level is even less likely than winning the lottery. Even if everything goes smoothly, it would normally take many years and countless hardships.

"Martial arts and magic are just for fun, don't take them too seriously." This is actually the attitude of many noble families towards their children.

If one doesn't reach a level of strength that allows them to transcend the power of ordinary people, it won't be of much significance in their life. If one really wants to reach that level, the success rate can be negligible.

From their perspective, isn't it a bit like putting the cart before the horse to pay such a high price in pursuit of power? Why stand in the shadows, shedding blood and sweat, when they could enjoy life and power at the same time and obtain everything?
Suliman's current behavior has a hint of betraying her class.

Rean subconsciously looked at the silly Larry. The reason she was sent to the church to follow the path of the paladin was not because the Labour family was pursuing the power of the paladins, but because they were seeking the support of the church.

Why pursue this power with such huge side effects when you could live a more convenient life?

Rean was confused because he knew that Suliman and Dania were two different people, and he couldn't see any desire for power in her.

"Sallyman, what are you thinking?" Rean was increasingly puzzled, and he even saw Princess Dania looking confused.

This superior was completely baffled by the bizarre actions of the noble family head.

She could have accumulated experience and connections while she was young, and then reached a high position at a certain age, solving all her problems with money and connections.

It wouldn't be impossible for him to even hire some great knights and warriors with his future power and wealth.

Why would she, who was in an invincible position, suddenly have the idea to try to take matters into her own hands?

"Of course." Kuku smiled, as if he wasn't surprised at all, as the answer was exactly what he expected.

“But only for three days,” Kuku added. When the lifespan of the heroic spirit ends, everything will naturally end.

“I am very grateful.” Sallyman nodded thankfully.

In the following period, each successor naturally activated the card and, under Kuku's guidance, adapted to their new state.

Some people show no outward changes, while others collapse and are unable to get up for a long time.

As for Rean, we should be able to see their records in the Pokédex. Perhaps their evolutionary paths and usage techniques can provide some help and inspiration for Rean.

“In order to harness this power as much as possible, you need a ‘second head.’ I have some suggestions.”

Instead of presenting Rean's multi-headed dragon god solution, Kuku offered completely different suggestions tailored to the different situations of each apprentice.

For example, he suggested that alchemists use alchemy to solve problems, create "external thinking devices," or integrate a new thinking circuit. If they can maintain extremely low output, they can even consider using magical pets to solve problems. He recommended mechanical or puppet-type magical pets on the spot.

Another approach is to create "ghosts," using artificial spirits that possess the body to become a second version of oneself.

This is difficult for ordinary people, but for the owner of "Shadow God Power," it is a possibility worth trying.

The gods of the shadow realm also have a priest class, and they are also spellcasters; dark elves can strive to work in this direction.

Of course, if your computing power is high enough, you can still achieve single-core dual-process without changing anything.

Every extraordinary individual is different, and the fused soul abilities they acquire also have subtle differences, requiring constant adjustments. Some races and power systems don't even have soul abilities, yet this power can still be effective, only manifesting in different forms.

Kuku only offered suggestions and directions, using his experience to provide guidance; the specifics are up to them.

The machine kit is the simplest; all it takes is adding a chip. We've collected a bunch of damaged parts from before, and it's almost ready.

“Mushroom, you’re simple too. You can use the Mind Network to share this extra pressure with your kind.” Mushroom seemed to be considering this possibility as well, but he actually already had his own plan.

His compatibility with Kuku is also quite high. Mushroom people have a natural sense of community, and he has even prepared to cultivate another "little mushroom" inside his body.

Kuku whispered with "Bai" for a while, and the other nodded subconsciously, seemingly accepting the suggestion.

Avoiding crowds is not merely to keep secrets, but because it involves knowledge of "beasts," and the less one knows, the better.

As Kuku mentioned before, the best way to solve this problem is with beastmen, as there are many multi-headed evolutionary paths such as the Hydra, the Hydra, and the Chimera.

“It is possible to cultivate a second line of thought within the same body, but one must be prepared to fight for control of the body, and there are certain requirements for the level of the spellcaster. My personal suggestion is to prepare a cradle and shackles for the newborn soul.”

Rean doesn't need these things because his second thought is still himself, and he doesn't feel the sensation of his soul being split.

If others develop a second line of thought, "another me" will probably emerge soon, and that will definitely cause some trouble.

"I accidentally raised so many mentally ill people." What Rean was thinking was probably the truth.

Kuku takes into account each individual's situation and minimizes side effects as much as possible.

He presented a plan for each candidate, as if he had already considered it beforehand.

Time passed just like that. While each candidate was in turmoil, they also seized every moment. They also knew that perhaps only a few days remained before their mentor left.

They still have so many questions and so much to know.

Rean also saw Sallyman being pulled away by Dania and saying a lot of things, but out of respect for her privacy, Rean did not eavesdrop.

This night was perhaps the most fulfilling, with everyone busy.

However, since the heir does not have a physical body here, they will have to wait until they wake up to adapt to their new state.

Finally, as the dream faded, the new candidates returned to the mortal realm one by one.

This time, it's like sowing seeds and waiting for them to sprout.

Whether this world will see a group of schizophrenic lunatics or a group of heroes trying to change the world, as Kuku said, can only be judged by future generations.

"Isn't it most likely that both are among the people? It's also quite possible that they are the same person; even a madman could be a remarkable historical figure."

Kuku himself was quite philosophical about it, and after tonight's events, the presence of the Heroic Spirits was significantly reduced; his time was almost up.

When Rean woke up, he saw Kuku still writing and drawing by the bedside, trying to record as much as possible.

But Rean, who had just woken up, was dragged into her room by Sallyman.

“I have something I want to discuss with you.” This time, Sallyman was more serious than ever before.
-

As the visitors to the dream depart one by one, the hidden operating mechanism is reactivated with the birth of the candidates.

[The appearance of the Heroic Soul Heir has been detected. The heir's soul fluctuations have been locked, and the personality model has been locked.]

[Individual names: Victoria V. Yunier, Mushroom, Ophelia, Alexie Tarabal, Stephen Philrange, Sylvia (White), currently a total of six. Specific abilities and characteristics are recorded below.]

[Heroes' Soul Atlas V2 recording completed, data uploaded to Hall of Heroes V1.]

[Hall of Heroes V1 check passed, potential assessment passed. After the successor's death, their soul and achievements will be evaluated to determine whether to invite them to the Hall of Heroes.]

This time, due to someone's willfulness, the Hall of Heroes may also reap a great harvest.
