They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

Although the methods are different, the soul ultimately leaves the body.

"Does this fill the gap in my understanding of the application of the soul?" Ling Yu wondered.

"As expected, the power of control is still the most useful."

Now, by using the Herrscher of Reason's abilities to analyze the Shikon Jewel, we gain two benefits.

Great, this adds another incentive to earn points.

Chapter 53: Miko Tsuiko

If Ling Yu remembered correctly, inside the Shikon Jewel, the soul of the priestess Midori was still fighting against the souls of the youkai.

So now that he has this [Soul Purification Technique], can he extract Midori's soul from the Shikon Jewel?

Then, using the power of the Herrscher of Reason, a new body was constructed for her.

Therefore, it is called living a second life!

The Shikon Jewel possesses extremely powerful energy.

In the original work, even fragments can revive people and demons who have been dead for decades.

All of this can be attributed to Cui Zi.

In the final chapter of Inuyasha, Kohaku, who should have died due to Naraku's attack, was revived thanks to the spiritual power left in his body by Kikyo.

Therefore, the essence of the Shikon Jewel's ability to revive living beings lies in Midori's immense spiritual power.

Inside the Shikon Jewel, there are two forces: good and evil.

They are respectively straight spirit and curved spirit.

The righteous one is the straight spirit, representing the shrine maiden Midori, while the evil one is the curved spirit, which is a collection of evil thoughts from monsters.

When the spirit is in its prime, the Shikon Jewel has the miraculous power to bring the dead back to life and save the wounded.

It is a manifestation of Cui Zi's powerful spiritual energy.

As for the spirit, it is a manifestation of depravity, which will make the Shikon Jewel filthy and chaotic.

At that time, it would be good enough if they could avoid being devoured, let alone gain power.

Ling Yu told Fairy Airi about his idea of ​​extracting Midori's soul from the Shikon Jewel.

The latter looked at the Shikon Jewel with some surprise after hearing this.

She never expected that this tiny bead would contain a soul, something she had never even explored in her library.

Of course, there are records of artificial fluctuating lights similar to those in Sword Art Online, after all, the heroes in Resurrection Land are similar to artificial fluctuating lights.

The so-called "light" refers to the countless microtubules within human brain cells, which contain countless photons. By reading their quantum field, one can obtain all the information stored in the brain.

Replicating the natural light in one's mind is called artificial light.

If someone replicates the exact same memories and thoughts as another person, wouldn't that person be considered another version of themselves?

Yao Guang is the biological soul, perhaps the most scientific explanation of the soul.

Who dares to say that the Alicia in the Paradise of the Past is not the real Alicia?

They share the same experiences and the same thoughts. The only difference is that Alicia in Paradise is data and has no physical body.

Of course, some people say that it is just a substitute.

But so what.

When a flower has already faded, people may be captivated by any flower that resembles it, let alone something that shares the same thoughts and memories as the original.

If Otto could have an artificial Fluctlight like Kallen's, he would be overjoyed. He might even be able to let go of his obsession and focus wholeheartedly on developing Destiny and fighting against the Honkai.

Even Otto only chose to climb the tree after searching for the soul in vain for a long time.

The price is the annihilation of itself.

It was a last resort.

At the very least, Ling Yu felt that Alicia in Paradise was quite good, because that was the place he was familiar with, where they shared experiences and memories.

Rather than an ethereal, illusory entity.

Mei is the same.

Alicia died long ago. Her two subsequent resurrections were merely reflections of the Herrscher core within Mei's body, much like Himeko in the Plague Gem. But these were also the most familiar and beloved versions of Alicia in Mei's heart.

The topic has gone too far.

Returning to the original topic, Ling Yu looked at the Shikon Jewel in his hand.

I've decided to give it a try.

Unlike the scientifically explainable phenomenon of Yuuko, the Midori in the Shikon Jewel contains a true soul.

Of course, the simplest understanding is that it is a conscious energy body.

"Let's go to the imaginary world."

“This is the first time I’ve done something like this. To avoid any accidents, it would be safer to go to the Imaginary World,” Ling Yu said to the fairy Ellie.

After all, the energy within the imaginary world is abundant, and even if there are unexpected events, Ling Yu is capable of turning the tide.

"good?."

Ellie the fairy agreed.

She also really wanted to see Cui Zi's spirit.

As Ling Yu's thoughts stirred slightly.

In the calm void ahead, a dark golden ring-shaped entrance appeared.

Inside the entrance lies the imaginary space.

Ling Yu and the fairy Ai Li exchanged a glance and stepped inside at the same time.

"Then, I'm going to get started."

After arriving in the world of imaginary numbers, Ling Yu held up the Shikon Jewel, which was radiating light, and looked at the fairy Airi.

"bring it on!"

Ellie the fairy was also on high alert, in case anything unexpected happened.

Immediately, Ling Yu began to use the [Soul Purification Technique] obtained from his control power to extract the souls from the Shikon Jewel.

Because the Shikon Jewel contains not only Midori's soul, but also the souls of countless other yokai, Ling Yu spent a considerable amount of time searching for Midori.

Fortunately, even after a hundred years of battle, the light of Cui Zi's soul still shines brightly, like the morning star in the dark night, giving Ling Yu direction.

Immediately, without hesitation.

Grab that pure soul and pull it away.

The next second, Midori, who was fighting against countless monsters, felt a suction force coming from behind her.

Then, without giving her any chance to resist, the powerful suction force pulled her entire soul out.

As Ling Yu extracted Cui Zi's soul, the balance of the Shikon Jewel was instantly shattered.

Without Midori's restraint, the part of the soul belonging to the youkai quickly consumed the entire Shikon Jewel.

In an instant, the once sacred Shikon Jewel in Ling Yu's hand turned as black as ink.

At the same moment, both Ling Yu and the fairy Ai Li sensed that something inside the jade was awakening.

Based on Ling Yu's understanding of the Shikon Jewel, he guessed that it was most likely Qu Ling.

The greatest function of Qu Ling is its ability to influence the mind.

Most evil yokai whose personalities drastically change after obtaining the Shikon Jewel are due to Kyōrei.

Therefore, the Shikon Jewel, which was in Qu Ling's possession, also subconsciously wanted to corrupt and control Ling Yu.

However, just as it intentionally spread evil thoughts...

Within Ling Yu's body, the core of the Herald of Consciousness, which symbolized the authority of consciousness, suddenly trembled.

Invisible ripples spread from the pale red core, directly sealing off the consciousness within the Shikon Jewel.

"It's turned completely black!"

The fairy Airi approached the dark Shikon Jewel, her cute brows furrowing.

The Shikon Jewel is now not only ugly in color, but the aura it emits also displeases the fairy Airi.

It's nowhere near as pretty as the clean and fresh pink we saw before.

"After Midori, who was used to keep the monsters in check, was removed, the space inside the jewel became a paradise for the monsters."

"The current Shikon Jewel is simply a mixture of demonic power and resentment, so it's normal for it to give people a feeling of disgust."

Ling Yu fumbled with the black Shikon Jewel in his hand and explained to Fairy Airi.

Fairy Ellie nodded in agreement.

at the same time

Midori, who had been pulled out of the Shikon Jewel by Ling Yu, also realized what was happening.

She looked around blankly.

As the creator and user of the soul purification technique, Midori naturally understood what the pulling sensation she had just experienced was all about.

So, she turned her gaze to Ling Yu and the fairy Ai Li, and her thin lips parted slightly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

"So... it was you who rescued me from the Shikon Jewel?"

However, when she saw the fairy Airi, her usually calm eyes flickered slightly.

No one can resist cute things.

Not to mention a woman with a pure heart like Cui Zi.

As for the fairy Airi, she is exquisite and adorable in every way.

Upon hearing Midori's voice, the two abandoned their discussion about the Shikon Jewel turning black and tacitly turned their gazes to Midori.

Midori is very pretty.

With her long, jet-black hair, fair skin, and delicate features, she was the epitome of a classical beauty.

The cross-shaped forehead decoration, in particular, adds a touch of divinity to her appearance.

"Of course, otherwise there's no way to explain why you're here." Ling Yu answered Cui Zi's question.

Then, Ling Yu noticed that Cui Zi's gaze was fixed on his hand, or rather, on the pitch-black Shikon Jewel.

"As you can see, without your restraint, this jade has been completely corrupted."

Ling Yu made no attempt to conceal it, and quite naturally placed the corrupted Shikon Jewel in front of Midori.

Chapter 54 Fairy Ellie's Soul Steel Body

Looking at the Shikon Jewel, which was entirely black and exuded an ominous aura, Midori sighed softly.

"I ultimately failed to eliminate them."

Knowing the cause and effect, Ling Yu naturally understood what Cui Zi was talking about.

It's nothing more than the souls of the monsters inside the Shikon Jewel.

Previously, the Shikon Jewel contained her connection and there was a possibility that it could be purified, but now it has completely become a demon jewel.

Once ingested, the evil thoughts within the jade will instantly corrupt the creature it swallows, turning it into a hideous monster that only knows how to kill.

"I hope you will not be bewitched by the power of jade."

Cui Zi looked at Ling Yu and gave him instructions.

She is now merely a soul without a physical body, unable to interfere in external affairs.

She was able to survive because of the Shikon Jewel, but now that it has been extracted, she is not far from disappearing.
