I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

His soul also returned to its original shape during the eternal return, but the soul that was separated in the system space was still preserved.

This can be said to be the place where Duanmu Lian is stuck in the eternal return bug.

He took advantage of the chat group's function, constantly splitting his soul, and then used the property of eternal return after death to restore it, so as to accumulate continuously.

He knew that his soul was not strong enough, so until he found a way to strengthen his soul, he could only use this simple and direct method to accumulate it.

If he can't keep up with the quality, then let's catch up with the quantity.

Since I can’t train the length, I’ll just train the width.

Gurgle gurgle.......

Duanmulian seemed to hear the strange sound of liquid flowing and bubbles surging in the water. She really wanted to laugh when she slowly opened her eyes again in the petri dish.

Because his plan was successful, although his soul could not avoid eternal damnation, the system residing in his soul could.

Duanmulian absorbed the memories backed up in the system and retrieved her own experience, and continued what she did in the previous round.

Learn knowledge, divide the soul, hoard souls, and then enter the Eternal Tribulation again to avoid the BUG of the Eternal Tribulation!

However, Duanmulian still had one thing to worry about.

He successfully avoided the Eternal Return and retained the memories of the previous rounds, but the world under him was restarted by the Mercury Serpent, and he didn't know if the system could withstand it.

After all, that is the time when everything is restored to nothingness and nothing has yet to be born.

Duanmu Lian made preparations for this.

If the system cannot avoid the Mercury Serpent from restarting the entire multiverse, then use the [Gate of the World] to retreat temporarily.

Duanmulian died again in the battle with Youzuo Silang, and his consciousness entered the interior of the system space. Duanmulian, who was involved in the eternal return, found that he did not return to the past this time.

He came to the battlefield of the divine realm.

“【Vive memor mortis· Acta est fabula (At the moment of life and death·Witness the unknown ending)】”

"【Du-sollst·Dies irae (Overflowing from Chaos·Day of Wrath)】"

Accompanied by the fierce roars of the two pillars of domineering divine nature, Duanmulian appeared on the battlefield of the divine domain where the Lord of the Throne, the Mercury Snake, and the Golden Beast were fighting each other.

The rules and laws of the world were washed away like blank paper because of the divine power of these two pillars.

The mercury snake and the golden beast, these two friends love and hate each other.

As for Duanmulian, as a captive who had returned from eternity, he was used as ammunition by the Mercury Snake as one of the soul armies in the world.

The Mercury Snake used its basic astrology skill, Meteor Swarm, to smash its soul into the Golden Beast, and it was finally captured and controlled by its Asura Path.

Afterwards, in the mutual attacks that were enough to destroy countless multiverses, the world was destroyed again and again, and the entire world was bleached to the point of being white.

Nothing in the world was left, and the mercury snake, which was already on the verge of death and almost perished together with the golden beast, also launched an eternal return.

The whole world revolves back to the beginning.

As for Duanmulian, his true soul had been destroyed, but he had recorded the save point in the eternal calamity.

After all, although he was an outsider, his soul was also stained by the eternal return of the mercury serpent, and in a fundamental sense he was transformed from an illegal resident to a regular resident.

At the same time, the chat group system that stored Duanmulian’s consciousness, soul, and memory, things that did not belong to this world were not directly destroyed.

Instead, it is stuck in a strange place like the gap in time or the outside of the world.

Duanmulian guessed that this was probably the state before the advent.

If an ordinary person, even a tyrannical god or a truth-seeking god who has achieved Tai Chi, came here, they would probably get lost in the cracks of time.

But it so happens that Duanmulian has her own save point, which is her own soul that is caught in the eternal return.

The timeline of eternal return on the fourth day is a circle.

According to the resonance and attraction of his own soul, the system carried Duanmulian's soul and once again resided in his body when he was just born in the petri dish at the right time.

After witnessing the resilience of the system, Duanmulian breathed a sigh of relief.

Having avoided the eternal return of the normal world, as well as the eternal return of the entire world restarted by the mercury serpent, he finally figured out the time rules in which he could act.

Duanmulian, who no longer had any worries, split and stored some of his soul in the interior of the space. Then he activated the [World Projection] function and began his adventure in another world by using soul projection and reincarnation.

Duanmulian also made plans for her itinerary.

In the extra-dimensional operation, he mainly did two things.

1. Collect the energy required by the chat group system to maintain the main needs.

Second, collect all the knowledge and tools that can make you stronger and strengthen your own foundation.

Knowledge can be stored by ourselves, but how do we transport objects back?

It's very simple. Duanmulian's main consciousness invites her parallel consciousness to join the group and transmit it through the chat group.

Duanmulian, who uses [World Projection], cannot use other functions of the system as a projection body, or the system is not on him at all, so he cannot use it.

In Duanmulian’s first adventure into another world, he was not reincarnated as a human being, but as an alien, a new iron-blooded warrior.

Although this world is quite dangerous, the rewards it can bring to Duanmulian are not small at all.

You have to know that the civilization of the Iron-blooded Warriors is a contradictory civilization that is both barbaric and advanced.

In the movie "Predator", the Predator possesses advanced technology.

Such as stealth technology and energy cannons, which not only surpass the technological level of human beings, but can even enable interstellar travel.

In the universe, interstellar travel is an extremely complex and advanced technology that requires superb physical knowledge and technical level. From the perspective of interstellar travel, the Predator's level of civilization is very high.

Therefore, the most important thing for Duanmulian in this world is technology.

There are also creatures like aliens that can mutate and evolve according to their parasitic hosts, which are also of great use to Duanmulian.

His ordinary yet arduous adventure also officially started from here.

Chapter 5 The Ship of Theseus of the Soul

[Failure and pain can make people progress. Without failure and pain, a truly strong person cannot be forged. Since we are aware of our own insignificance, we should pursue strength even more.]

[Looking at the 'God' who reigns over the throne of all things, I am deeply moved. 】

[From ignorance to knowledge, and from knowledge to knowledge, I feel both comfort and pain, because this feeling can truly feel my own growth.]

[Facing the despair of eternal calamity, and overcoming this despair of eternal calamity, this process... is really fascinating and wonderful. ]

These were the words full of joy and happiness spoken by the first generation Duanmulian before his death, and they were also the words he left for his future self.

In pursuit of the unattainable throne of God, he fell on the road, but he did not regret it at all.

Even though this process was more difficult and painful than in his previous life, and Duanmulian was covered with scars, he still smiled foolishly before he died.

He experienced the taste of this process, learned from his own failures, and left it as a treasure for his future self.

Even though the soul is still the original soul, the personality is no longer his current personality.

"It's true that one generation has suffered the pain of hundreds of generations..."

After reading Duanmu Lian’s initial experience, Duanmu Lian today couldn’t help but sigh like this, and at the same time, she also admired and respected her former self very much.

Because everything today is based on the solid foundation laid by Duanmu Lian, who had a very difficult start.

All things are difficult at the beginning. It can be said that the first few generations of Duanmulian had a very difficult life.

The period between him and after him can be said to be the period with the highest mortality rate.

At first, Duan Mulian never considered himself as the protagonist. He believed that if you often walk by the water, your shoes will get wet. Unforeseen accidents will inevitably happen to him.

At the same time, the human soul has limits and a lifespan.

Therefore, there will also be problems such as the twilight of thinking and the wear and tear of personality.

Using the [World Projection] function to die in another world will also cause damage to the subject's Duanmulian consciousness.

Duanmulian was the first to discover this, so she also hoped to find a method to cultivate the soul, or to go to a place with soul-related technologies.

But to study the soul and to seek such skills and techniques, it all depends on luck.

Whatever world you go to is random. Only when you have been to a world once can you clearly know what style it is and record its coordinates.

Therefore, before finding a way to solve the problem of her soul's lifespan, Duanmu Lian prepared for the worst.

That is to give your worn-out and aged soul a cleansing and a new start through eternal return.

This will completely destroy Duanmulian's personality.

However, the vast memories recorded by the system will only give the brand new Duanmulian's soul the memories of its previous life, and all experiences after this life will be regarded as the experiences of later generations.

So in a sense, Duanmu Lian is still Duanmu Lian, after all, their souls are the same.

"Haha, I'm just like the Ship of Theseus..."

Thinking clearly about her origins, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but smile, a smile that was very relieved and free and easy.

The Ship of Theseus is also known as the Theseus paradox.

It is a paradox about identity replacement. If the components of an object are replaced, is it still the same object?

Duanmulian's situation is like the paradox of the Ship of Theseus.

If the [Soul/Wood] inside [Duanmulian/Theseus Ship] is gradually replaced.

Until all [souls/woods] are no longer the original [souls/woods].

So is this [Duanmulian/Ship of Theseus] still the original [Duanmulian/Ship of Theseus]?

Therefore, this type of problem is called the "Ship of Theseus" problem.

Some philosophers think it is the same object, some think it is not.

At first, Duanmulian split her soul and started her own journey.

After his death, the soul fragments belonging to the original Duanmulian formed a new Duanmulian, with the same memories and personality.

So is this new Duanmu Lian still the same Duanmu Lian?

The soul is still your own soul, and it is not mixed with anyone else's.

However, the memories, emotions, and personality in the soul will appear different due to their different experiences. This is the difference between Duanmulian and Duanmulian.

"Darian, did I change the process of copying past life memories, or did I make it more refined and perfect?"

Duanmulian left the Soul Abyss and suddenly appeared in front of Danterian who had been waiting for him for a long time, but this time he addressed her as the more intimate Darien.

He had seen some of his previous generation's memories and thought that the girl Danterian was very trustworthy.

At the same time, Duanmu Lian also had some guesses about her memories of her past life.

He didn't feel that it was a memory imprinted by the system, after all, it was so real.

"Yes, after the previous Lotus dies, a new Lotus will automatically be born from the soul abyss, and your initial situation is similar to that of 'The Truman Show'."

In response to Duanmulian's question, Danterian nodded, and then took her to a place.

Soon, the two came to a huge and extremely mysterious sacred tree.

The size of the sacred tree can be described as towering, and the entire tree exudes an incomparably mysterious and profound light. Just one glance at it seems to suck one's soul in.

"This is the Ancient Tree of Samsara, a strange ancient tree that contains the power of the six paths of reincarnation. It is the remains of your body from a certain generation."

Danterian looked at the towering tree in front of her with an extremely sad expression, and told Duanmulian the origin of this ancient tree.

"My...body remains?"

Looking at the huge ancient tree in front of her, Duanmulian felt an indescribable sense of intimacy in her heart.

This ancient tree was like a part of his body, giving him an urge and warmth that made him want to become one with it.

"Yes, after all, your consciousness or soul projection is uncontrollable when it reincarnates. It is possible for it to be a human, an animal, a plant, or anything else."
