Only I know the plot of the anime.

Chapter 115 Body and Soul! The Great Dao of the World! Different Paths Lead to the Same Destination!

And you have far more than one strange ability.

That's way more outrageous than what Boss Bai did!

Compared to you.

We are false enlightened practitioners!

This alone—the ability to control the souls (life essence) of enemies after defeating them—is enough to shock everyone.

And ultimately...

The lighthouse doesn't have the Awakener technology at all!

This was obtained by Boss Bai from somewhere by chance.

It originates from the Kingdom of Heluo.

This country excels in medicine and spiritual practice; it is a very mysterious and ancient nation.

So the problem isn't with the lighthouse, but with Su Jin!

Who exactly is he?

What secrets are hidden within?

However, given the current situation, with the opponent being so powerful and Boss Bai in poor condition, everyone felt either gratitude or awe towards Su Jin, so they didn't dare to ask too many questions.

Seeing the atmosphere, Bai Yuekui patted Suixing on the shoulder.

"Ruo, what do you think of this?"

"A cool and aloof older sister, both cool and calm, she acts rationally and gently in her daily life, with a full figure and a perky butt, perfect for having children."

Shattered Star was stunned.

"Boss! What did you say?"

"Oh, because when he saved me, he wanted me to repay him with my body. I said I was too old, but I could find him a younger one."

The group's eyes widened instantly.

What?

Want a boss?

Is it that powerful?

"Oh, and there's also Tasia, the Western quick-draw gunslinger, a calm and collected blonde beauty. She often works alongside me, handling various tasks and conducting research. Her abilities also involve teleportation, so she seems to have a connection with you guys."

As for Kolova, she already has a boyfriend.

Fang Yuan and the others, on the other hand, are already married.

"There are other single women in the village, and I can introduce them to you."

"No need, I just like your type."

"Fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, and a white-haired specialist—what I need is a partner to fight alongside me. With the Angel Potion and Miracle K, you've already come a long way on the path of evolution."

"The long period of time and the rich knowledge you have accumulated have made you increasingly versatile, capable of both fighting and research, perfectly meeting the requirements for my second-in-command."

Rose and I are assistants in different directions.

Rose, the main space and the command of the Shadow Legion, can teleport shadow soldiers at any time to quickly support various locations.

Although he has gradually awakened other abilities of the Shadow King.

For example, the [King's Domain].

Within this range, the Shadow Legion's strength can increase by 50%.

And [Shadow Swap].

It can instantly switch positions with a shadow soldier from another location.

Overall, the Rose brand is more comprehensive and easier to use, saving me a lot of trouble.

He himself prefers temporary emergency rescue.

And Bai Yuekui.

This is a positioning that leans towards scientific research and knowledge personnel.

They can share their research projects, significantly advance their ideas, and undertake various gene-editing projects. They also have insights into spacecraft construction and base building, and are proficient in using various advanced technologies from the old era.

This includes the equipment on warships in space and their spacesuits.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the past, the Hela Empire launched a massive attack, deploying its entire fleet, just to capture Hisakawa City. Hisakawa City should be quite familiar with warships since then.

Unfortunately, the comic ends here.

The new one hasn't come out yet.

The text only mentions that Hisakawa City was destroyed by the Hela Empire using the Neutron Feather Stream.

Let's take a look at Bai Yuekui now.

She was originally just a genius neuroscientist.

Even now, in the apocalypse, she continues to read and study relentlessly.

It's true that you're never too old to learn.

So once she's recruited into the team, she'll be able to play a significant role quickly once she's learned some more.

However, regarding Su Jin's words...

Bai Yuekui's expression changed instantly; this person actually knew about his situation.

This happened many years ago.

Don't let her appearance fool you; she looks like she's twenty.

In fact, none of the old men and women in Longgu Village are as old as her, and some were even raised by her.

"Who exactly are you?"

"He's just an ordinary person passing by, currently majoring in magic and related energy systems, and has some understanding of gene technology."

"Ordinary people? Magic?"

Everyone else was stunned.

A big question mark appeared above my head.

Are you sure you're not joking? Shouldn't it be Source Potential? Shouldn't it be Awakened One? And you're just an ordinary person!

Perhaps you've been reading too many fantasy works from the old era?

There is magic inside.

But that's not true.

Bai Yuekui then adopted a thoughtful expression.

"It sounds absurd, but if you think about it, if it's magic, then the diversity of your methods can be explained."

In the past, you've used abilities such as [Flight], [Creating Clouds], [Controlling Devouring Beasts], [Summoning Angel-like Creatures], [Unleashing Lightning], and [Manipulating Ground and Earth]. Now, it's [Healing Abilities], [Fire], [Ice Storms], [Resurrection Abilities], [Fast Movement], and [Commanding the Souls of Dead Enemies], among others.

"This is something that [Source Potential] cannot achieve."

"Up close, I didn't see you using any technological devices."

Su Jin asked a question in return.

"Speaking of which..."

"This is the direction to your gathering place, isn't it? Now that you've witnessed my various methods, are you sure you still want to lead me there? What if I harbor malicious intentions and destroy that place?"

As a result, Bai Yuekui didn't even raise his head.

"Human beings are already in this state."

"Especially in times like these, we must act as a community with a shared future, setting aside our differences and uniting as one. Besides, we don't have any conflicts or contradictions, do we?"

Su Jin smiled.

They didn't say anything more.

"Is this Dragonbone Village?"

"You actually live inside a cavity inside the mountain?"

.

Du Qiangwei exclaimed in surprise.

They had already passed through the main entrance and exit.

Thus, one can ride in a sliding industrial cable car to travel through various parts of the mountain.

First, we passed the [Supply Station], then the [Underground Plantation Farm], and also saw the peculiar [Marrow Crystal Mining Station], where there were large areas of blue crystals, and many people were mining them.

Now, influenced by Su Jin, Rose is also very interested in minerals.

So she took a few more glances.

Then comes the [Production and Living Area].

I heard there's a dedicated mushroom farm here, and a folding complex agricultural area has been built above it.

What came into Rose's view was a variety of alloy prefabricated houses, scattered in various places, and then there were buildings of various modular styles, which fully reflected the characteristics of the post-apocalyptic world where whatever materials were available were used, which was completely different from modern times.

Even so, this place is still filled with a sense of everyday warmth.

Humans still stubbornly live here.

Self-sufficient.

We will not bow down to the Mana ecosystem!

Rose also saw various shops. Some people were pickling vegetables, others were repairing old appliances, and there were also shops selling DVDs. This was quite strange. In Rose's world, these DVDs had gradually been phased out and were a memory for the older generation.

There are also small shops that make clothes, arcades where you can play games, general stores that sell all sorts of items and attract many children; there are also places to get haircuts and styling, places to play cards, places to sell fruit; and robot parts and accessories shops.

It truly is a case of small size, but complete with all the essential organs.

There are also places to eat.

For example, the barbecue skewers vendor had a poster that read, "Charcoal grilling offers a variety of flavors, and any skewer will do." Or, "Cold mung bean noodles and cold rice noodles, choose your own toppings, freshly ground." There were also shrimp and crab mushroom rice noodles, crispy grain and cooked mushroom rice noodles, bamboo shoot and fish wontons, and so on, which made her smile.

"It feels familiar."

It was clearly another world, yet it felt strangely familiar to her.

Su Jin then said one sentence.

"It's good that nothing happened here."

"Otherwise, humanity will have one less place to resist."

After all, the outside environment is so harsh.

It's inextricably linked to Gaia, the boss.

As the designated proxy, he couldn't say he was completely unconcerned, especially since he was the most compassionate Gaia, and naturally didn't want to see Dragonbone Village destroyed.

Xia Dou suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot."

"Your team from the lighthouse, Mark and his group, have gone to activate their potential, so we won't be able to run into them for a while. You'll have to wait."

"So, should we just go straight there?"

Potential?

Su Jin seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

He recalled some things about [Cranial Life]. Among the many examples of potential development, this one was the most outstanding because he had mastered the ability of [Flow Control Room], a realm that even top-level Awakened Ones had not been able to reach.

It is very similar to the "inner vision" recorded in some ancient books of the Heluo Kingdom.

It allows for precise control over the body and every bit of energy.

Furthermore, cranial cells can connect to unknown spaces deep within the universe, thereby acquiring cosmic energy and information.

in this situation.

It already closely resembles the scene described by Bai Yuekui and her father.

If humanity were to achieve immortality, it could explore the long history and eras of planets and continuously receive energy and information from the universe. Such an existence would be God!

So.

Does this mean they have become higher-dimensional beings?

The cranial organism originated from that prehistoric giant, an existence related to higher dimensions, so it's not surprising that it possesses this ability. Moreover, the sense of déjà vu is very strong because of the Super God Academy world.

After civilization has developed to a certain level.

Then one can perceive the dark dimension.

And they began to master this energy.

Through the dark dimension, one can freely browse information, just like angels casually flipping through Earth's intelligence as if it were child's play.

And with the gradual advancement of technology.

Various civilizations began their projects of creating gods.

And so, one god after another was born in the universe.

On the other hand, the higher-dimensional beings are intentionally suppressing this situation, not allowing lower civilizations to come into contact with these things. They say it's against immortality, but the vines have traces of multiple mass extinctions.

It spans different periods.

Could it be that those beings have also attained immortality?

It's more like they're reaping the benefits.

So in this situation, Ling Cage feels like it's about to become a god. Since Gaia said that this is part of her trial, what does she want to test her on?

The universe here in Ling Cage.

What we say is formed by the collective unconscious.

In the void near the Super God Academy, consciousness also ascended.

They are all higher dimensions plus consciousness.

The body is the prison of the soul.

However, Bai Yuekui's father believed that the resonance between spirit and flesh was the only way to enter higher dimensions and be equal to those beings.

It is unreasonable to arbitrarily abandon either one.

Su Jin also did not agree with the existence of the illusory body of Death God Karl.

If that's really the case.

Then why not just keep the Grim Reaper form?

But Su Jin wouldn't do that.

Trivia.

Soul King is the ancestor of the Quincy.

The Spirit King is the ancestor of the God of Death.

Which is more accurate?

The answer is the first one.

One of the Soul King's body parts even said that it was a Quincy.

Not to mention that the Soul King appeared in the first place to protect humanity, and thus annihilated the Hollows!

The [Death God Noble Ancestor] appeared later and followed him.

Of course, it's also possible that the Grim Reaper is a portion of the Soul King's power.

Thus, it came into being.

Because Tsuna would say, "The Soul King is a Quincy, a Shinigami, a Fullbringer, the embodiment of all things, and the ruler of heaven and earth!"

Therefore, discussing only the Grim Reaper's posture is incomplete.

In the conditions for fusing with the Spirit King, the void is even less important.

It's fine whether you put it in or not.

There are many ways to combine them, just look at those candidates for Spirit King.

Because the Soul King and Hollows are naturally opposed, and the Shinigami only became powerful after developing Zanpakuto and Kido systems, while the so-called Quincy, as anyone who has watched Bleach knows, are human.

It has both a body and a soul!

Su Jin's current situation perfectly matches the posture that the Grim Reaper should truly have.

Then we'll add the power of a Fullbringer and a Quincy later.

Then you can head in the direction of the Spirit King.

Therefore, the previous statement about "binding spirits and commanding generals" is indeed correct: cultivating both body and mind is the right way!

This is the universal principle, where different paths lead to the same destination.

Even with the power of the Shadow Monarch, Su Jin, like Cheng Xiaoyu, wields monarchical authority in a human form, so the general direction is correct.

At present.

We'll see.

[Potential Unlocking Hall]

This is a place that everyone in Dragonbone Village must visit. Here, everyone tries to unleash their power. Various problems may arise during this process, but nowadays many Awakened Ones are able to use their abilities normally through technological devices.

.

And as soon as they arrived here...

Su Jin then met with the Hunter Squad.

Mo Cheng, Ran Bing, Erica, and the others immediately greeted him warmly, all of them very happy and excited.

"So you weren't dead after all!"

"Have you already encountered other surface settlements outside of Dragonbone Village? And this lady, is she your companion?"

"sure!"

Mexico City shared this with great enthusiasm.

"Look! My ability is lightning speed! I'm incredibly fast! Isn't that amazing!"

Su Jin glanced at him silently.

What's there to be proud of?

promising.

The humanoid Devouring Beast not far away is clearly Mark. As expected, Bai Yuekui will not give up that plan, after all, Mark is indeed the key to the attack on the Bloodlust plan.

However, they cannot directly acknowledge each other.

So Su Jin deliberately feigned surprise.

"Huh? There are monsters too?"

"I am Mark."

"Look, even monsters are telling lame jokes these days."

Seeing Su Jin teasing his companions like that, Mark was speechless. It was normal for the other party not to believe him, but he really hadn't lied.

On the other side...

It is the flying snow that inspires potential.

Because Rose asked about the process, Xia Dou gave a special explanation.

"Actually, there are only three steps: generating willpower, facilitating the flow of source energy, and stimulating potential."

"So-called willpower arises from emotion."

rose:?

She immediately realized what was going on.

"So, is it a negative emotion?"

Xia Dou gave a strange look.

"It's not really about fear or anxiety. In dire straits, the desire to protect others, the courage to step forward, and the burning passion for your companions—that too is a powerful will!"

So Rose immediately sent a message in the team chat.

[Du Qiangwei: "If it weren't for the Gaias advancing to the next world and being unable to be chosen, I feel that once this power of will is discovered, I don't know about other domains, but in our Gray Domain, the Gray King's Legion will definitely lock us down!"]

[Su Jin: "You used 'we' very well."]

Rose glared at him angrily.

Please.

I'm talking to you about something serious.

[Du Qiangwei: "Cursed power is a product of negative emotions, while this willpower tends to have both, with a larger proportion of positive. The combination of positive and negative, how could this be? And you told me before that the location of the spell is actually on the right side of the brain. So, has a new fusion system emerged?"]

[Su Jin: "...Listen to what they have to say first."]

Willpower merely acts as a fuse to allow the life essence to enter the flow of essence.

at this time.

Only then can the hidden power within the human body be unleashed.

This is the main energy system.

Willpower is not the same as the essence of life.

Du Qiangwei sighed.

Ok.

I thought it could be like Xia Lan and Yi Ren.

I think too much.

Next, Su Jin stayed in Dragonbone Village. To activate the source essence, outsiders need to learn and train for a period of time. On the contrary, Su Jin's frequent resurrection of people caused a sensation throughout Dragonbone Village.

"Goodness, who is this?"

"That's outrageous."

"They just resurrected like that?"

"Amazing! I saw Old Xu's son! Didn't he have an accident just a couple of days ago?"

"Ah Jie's daughter too! She was dragged away by a Devouring Beast during a mission, and now she's just saying hello to me. I was almost scared to death!"

"What? I remember we couldn't find her body?"

"I've heard that resurrection is possible without a corpse. All you need to do is find the life essence that was stolen."

"Oh my god! This works?"

"So, where does Boss Bai's life iteration system store the vast amount of life essence?"

"Yes, they're in the past."

The villagers gasped in shock.

My whole body was trembling.

If it really works, that would be incredible.

A miracle within a miracle!

On Su Jin's side.

Bai Yuekui's voice rang out.

"Does your resurrection magic really only require these gold and gems as a medium?"

"And without shortening your lifespan or anything?"

"If you were to die like this, it would be an unbearable loss for humanity."

"It's alright."

"Ultimately, this action is just to make you owe me a favor. As for the news about the resurrection, I'll have to control it; it's best not to let it spread, because I'm using a ninth-tier resurrection spell, [True Rebirth]."

"But the fifth rank in our area requires corpses."

The ninth order is not used.

The original work contains a specific description of it.

Ningya's mother's body was disposed of by the Yaren and can no longer be found, so there was no way to say goodbye.

But they can still be resurrected with magic.

Ning Ya simply refused.

If Su Jin uses it now, the gold and gems used as a medium will melt, gradually turn into a puppet, and then revert to their original human form.

It is clear.

Resurrection magic is applied to the soul.

It is not the physical body.
