Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 274 Soul and Holy Brain
It can be used in other universes; all you need to do is scan the structure of the gastroentervirus and piece it together in another universe.

After discovering that this virus could grant immortality to creatures in the ninja world, Uchiha Kazuto sealed it away. He didn't like a world where there were other immortals besides himself; such a world would be too boring.

This kind of immortality can be said to be completely real and true immortality, of course, for the ninja world and most ordinary life forms that have evolved naturally, where the soul and body influence each other.

For natural life forms, the evolution of the brain and the growth of the body can drive the growth of the soul. There is no need to deliberately strengthen the soul. The physical body can change the soul, unlike those special life forms that are called carbon-based life forms but are actually energy life forms in essence.

Although the soul and body may appear to be perfectly aligned and even interact with each other, they are actually separate.

However, even if this virus could grant them immortality, those proud energy life forms probably wouldn't use it. After all, if they used the Gastrea virus to create immortal beings, their memories would be constantly updated over the long years. Memories would be constantly forgotten and updated again, and they would probably doubt that their future selves would be real, and thus dare not use it.

After all, these geniuses remember every single moment of the past few decades, unlike ordinary people. Who would remember what they ate on a certain morning twenty years ago? And very few people would remember someone they met by chance.

Well, actually, this thing may seem like memory wear and tear, but it's not. The human brain automatically deletes some useless information, and human consciousness changes over time and with the growth of experience.

To think that I've lived for countless years and forgotten so many useless memories of the past, and that my future self isn't myself, is just being pretentious. After all, let alone the future, I can't even remember many things about myself now, and my thoughts are completely different from when I was a child. There's no such thing as the Ship of Theseus. People are only truly themselves if they believe they are themselves. Who among those who have received a normal education would fall into self-denial?

Only those who are immature, uneducated, and don't need to worry about making a living would think about this kind of thing. They'd know once they went hungry for a couple of days or did some manual labor.

However, although the original version of the gastrovirus was sealed, the castrated version of the gastrovirus still exists.

The castrated version of the gastritis virus, after being fused with animal genes, is injected into the bodies of Imperial soldiers to enhance their combat capabilities. Unfortunately, in order to ensure the purity of humans, the soldiers' reproductive systems are specially protected during the modification process to ensure that their offspring are normal humans. Furthermore, the gastritis virus injected into them is also a one-time use virus; after the modification is completed, it becomes inactive and loses its infectivity.

Uchiha Kazuto is a pure racist. If there are two intelligent beings on a planet fighting to the death, then Uchiha Kazuto will not favor either side. Regardless of whether the other side is righteous or kind, he will only act as a peacemaker, trampling both races underfoot and watching them like pets.

After all, no pet owner wants their pet to fight to the death. A small conflict might result in one person dying, but if the other person dies completely, that would be terrible.

This mindset wouldn't change even if Uchiha Kazuto's identity might be that of a member of one side. As the saying goes, "your position determines your perspective, and your stance determines your actions." This same principle applies to Uchiha Kazuto. However, his stance has always been his own. Others' stances are not stances, other people's thoughts are not thoughts, and other people's hatreds are not hatreds. Only his own is true.

Such a personality makes Uchiha Kazuto theoretically completely untamable and uncontrollable; he is, in a sense, born rebellious.

This is why he wanted to maintain the purity of the bloodline of the Empire's humans. It wasn't because he thought the human bloodline was superior; it was simply to ensure that, over a long period of reproduction, the humans of the ninja world wouldn't all become Gastrea.

Different universe.

Deep underground, inside a massive building.

"The Soul-Sacred Brain is finally complete! Hehe... Now, the souls of this world will have the power to be stored!"

This is a brain encased in a huge glass tank, immersed in an extremely concentrated nutrient solution. Its milky white and pink body is covered with numerous blood vessels, and beneath it grows a large number of nerve tentacles. It looks as huge as a small city.

It was also during this period that the Imperial Academy of Sciences' latest research achievement, the Soul Holy Brain, was discovered.

There is no such thing as a Pure Land in this world. Although there is a soul, when a person dies, the soul naturally dissipates. Death is death.

So what should we do? Scan the rules of this universe and conduct numerous experiments to create a new Grim Reaper?

No, that's too troublesome. In the end, the researchers came up with a new solution: to create only one new soul-collecting container—the Soul-Brain.

This thing has no self-awareness, only a program. It is a huge wet intelligent brain with the ability to collect souls. It has a special magnetic field that can cover a planet and store the souls of living beings after they die.

After entering, the soul will enter a dedicated brain space to register information and determine the manner of death. Except for death from old age, other causes of death can be resurrected. Of course, if you want to lie in bed for a while, you can choose not to be resurrected and just relax in there. Lying in bed for a while is also fine. You can also act as an inspiration provider for the AI, giving it inspiration and speeding up its calculations.

Inside the Holy Brain, only the souls of those who have died of old age can engage in entertainment. To prevent those who shouldn't have died from committing suicide and lying down to sleep all day in the Holy Brain, these people who shouldn't have died have no entertainment here. They can only stay in an empty space and can't do anything except receive and send emails.

For example, if someone with children dies accidentally while working outside, they can send a message to their children, telling them that their father died accidentally today and will be resurrected in a few days. They should take good care of themselves at home, eat on time, go to school, and not starve to death at home.

Or, if a couple is on a date and one of them dies unexpectedly on the way, they can send an email to inform the other that they have simply died and are not late, thus avoiding any misunderstanding.

It's fair to say that the ability to send emails is quite useful, as it can avoid many misunderstandings and is very user-friendly.

In addition, the existence of the sacred brain can also maintain family ties. In many countries, there is a tradition of commemorating ancestors, but whether the ancestors have received the wishes of their descendants is unknown. But now it is different.

In the future, when paying homage to our ancestors, we will only need to connect with the Holy Brain to see the living ancestors. This is not some kind of cyber technology simulation, but the real souls of our ancestors.

In this way, as long as the soul remains and offspring exist, they will not be forgotten.

Even children can receive New Year's money from their great-grandmothers.

Inheritance issues have completely disappeared. There's no need for any lawsuits or arguments. To determine whether a will is genuine or not, you can simply ask the elderly person directly.

They're just dead, not gone. They're still there!

Furthermore, due to the existence of the Holy Brain, even the most difficult-to-investigate murder cases can be solved by directly contacting the victim and asking who the murderer is. However, due to the existence of Uchiha Kazuto's eye technique, there is actually no need to ask; the murderer will automatically be brought to justice, and the murderer will not even be able to kill anyone.

At the same time, with the existence of the Holy Brain, the materials needed by the laboratory become necessary to be recycled. A material can be used continuously, dying and coming back to life, and dying again, indefinitely.

The only downside is that, at this stage, the area covered by this sacred brain is only the size of a planet. Furthermore, because it is a living thing, it needs maintenance and upkeep, unlike special soul storage spaces such as Pure Land, which can exist indefinitely.

However, once it was manufactured, this thing was more cost-effective than the Grim Reaper. Its manufacturing cost was not as high as the Grim Reaper's, and its technological content was also not as high.

It's relatively good, but this thing can't move the soul collection system. It also uses a guiding method. Once someone discovers the principle behind it, they can block it in a corresponding way. This is not as good as the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper directly grabs souls. To stop the Grim Reaper from collecting souls, you have to kill the Grim Reaper.

In the ninja world, researchers have now combined the Holy Brain with the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper can travel to planets to collect souls, while the Holy Brain can better store souls. At the same time, it can also serve as a recovery station for the Grim Reaper. If the Grim Reaper suffers any damaging attacks, it can enter the Holy Brain to recover on its own.

At the same time, through their analysis of the Pure Land, they discovered that there seemed to be no such thing as the Pure Land in the ninja world long ago.

Pure Land is not a special dimensional space that naturally arises with the birth of a planet.

This is a spacetime that was created later, seemingly because natural energy accumulated at a special spacetime node...
