Bringing the farm to another world

Over the next few days, Zhao Hai and Laura studied the effects of spiritual energy on bloodline arrays, not just bloodline arrays, but also various array symbols. Zhao Hai had previously felt that some of those array symbols were a bit off, so this time he was determined to study them carefully.

After several days of experimentation, they finally discovered that the spiritual energy in the divine realm was indeed extremely potent and could even repair souls to a certain extent—not just human souls, but also the souls of animals.

Like some animals, they also have souls, but their souls are not as powerful or complete as human souls. Without a soul, a bloodline array alone cannot truly bring them to life. The soul is like an operating system; an animal's soul is a very simple operating system with only some basic abilities, so animals lack intelligence; while the human soul is more powerful and complex than that of animals, therefore humans are more intelligent than animals.

Bloodline arrays are like hardware. Without an operating system, hardware alone cannot be used. But with a soul, it's like having an operating system, and the hardware can then perform its function.

In the past, the Blood Slaughter Sect used bloodline arrays on people. The human soul was the operating system of these hardware. Of course, some bloodline arrays were also used on mechanical beasts. In the past, the Blood Slaughter Sect did not have a soul to act as the operating system of the bloodline array, but they had the Evolutionary Heaven Sphere. The Evolutionary Heaven Sphere had powerful computing capabilities and could replace the soul to become the operating system of the bloodline array.

The situation is different in the realm of gods. In the realm of gods, as long as you carve the bloodline array perfectly, the spiritual energy of the realm will slowly infuse the array with a soul. Although it takes some time, it is indeed possible to infuse the array with a soul, and different souls can be infused according to the bloodline array. However, only animal souls can be infused here; human souls cannot be infused.

Zhao Hai and his group conducted experiments. Humans also possess bloodline arrays. They completely inscribed a human's bloodline array onto a mechanical puppet and then injected it with spiritual energy from the divine realm. However, it didn't work. The humanoid mechanical puppet didn't develop a soul, not even a trace of one. But it's completely different for animals. Take the most complex alien bloodline array in the Blood Slaughter Sect, for example. They inscribed the alien bloodline array onto a mechanical alien beast and then injected it with spiritual energy from the divine realm. Slowly, this mechanical alien developed a soul, and it was the same as the soul of an alien—specifically, the same as those aliens that haven't developed intelligence and can't take human form. Such a complex alien bloodline array can produce a soul, but a human bloodline array can't. This is astonishing. Zhao Hai and his group conducted numerous experiments, and the results were always the same: a soul simply cannot be injected into a human bloodline array.

Zhao Hai and his group then conducted another experiment: combining the bloodline array with the Heavenly Sphere and injecting spiritual energy from the Divine Realm to see if a soul would be generated. The result astonished them; under these circumstances, a soul could not be generated. This greatly intrigued them, as a soul should have been generated under these conditions. Why didn't it? What was going on?
While Zhao Hai and his group were conducting their research, Wen Yuming and his group had already completed their magic array. They then activated the array, and the assimilation process began immediately. However, because the Xuanwu Space was actually quite large, the assimilation process took time.

Zhao Hai ignored all of that. He was focused on researching why the existence of the Heavenly Sphere prevented the creation of souls. He wanted to see if the Heavenly Sphere could generate souls.

After numerous experiments, Zhao Hai finally discovered a problem: the bloodline array combined with the Yantian Sphere was not truly incapable of generating souls; it could generate souls, albeit at an extremely slow pace. According to Zhao Hai's calculations, it would take at least a hundred years for the bloodline array combined with the Yantian Sphere to generate a soul resembling that of an animal. This discovery astonished Zhao Hai even more.

Then Zhao Hai took a closer look at the human bloodline array. He really wanted to know if it was truly impossible to generate a soul within a human bloodline array. After observing for several days, Zhao Hai discovered that their previous idea was wrong. A human bloodline array could indeed generate a soul, but at a much slower pace. It would take at least a thousand years for a complete human soul to be generated within a human bloodline array. The difference in time was simply too great.

After discovering these things, Zhao Hai and Laura fell into deep thought. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, we didn't expect these experimental results. Why do you think this is?" Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "Perhaps this is the law of the universe. In the law of the universe, humans are the most intelligent of all beings, so the universe gave humans unique souls. Because these souls are so unique, they are extremely difficult to generate. This may be related to the human bloodline array. As for why the animal bloodline array, after being combined with the Evolutionary Celestial Sphere, generates souls more slowly, it may be because the Evolutionary Celestial Sphere's calculation power is too strong, its calculation speed is too fast, and it is too complex. It is also combined with the bloodline array, which creates this situation, slowing down the generation of souls. But once this soul is generated, it will definitely be much stronger than an animal's soul, but it should not be stronger than a human soul."

Laura and the others nodded. Laura then asked, "Does that mean we can use this method to create mechanical beasts to help us in battle?"

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "It should be possible, but we don't need to do it. The calculation ability of the Yantian Sphere is already very powerful. Animal souls may not be as useful as the Yantian Sphere. However, we can leave two bloodline arrays for testing to see what the bloodline arrays combined with the Yantian Sphere will become after they have souls. But this will require a long period of testing."

Laura and the others all nodded. Zhao Hai then said, "For a human bloodline array to generate a soul, it takes even longer, making it even more difficult to experiment with. By the way, Brother Hai, didn't you say that your runes changed because they absorbed the spiritual energy from the God Realm? Are they still changing? Did those runes generate souls?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, those runes didn't generate souls. I think those runes are a bit like bloodline arrays because those runes are combined with me, so my soul is equivalent to the soul of those runes. I can control those runes better. Those runes are like my body, which I can control freely."

Zhao Hai paused for a moment before continuing, “In the past, runes were like a sword or a knife to me. I could use them to attack enemies, and I was quite skilled at using them. Swords and knives were like extensions of my body, but they were, after all, weapons, not my body. I couldn’t control them as freely as I could control my own hands and feet. But now it’s different. Now I can control runes as flexibly as I can control my own hands and feet. This is a huge improvement, and it will allow me to increase my combat power much more and faster.”

Laura nodded, then said, "If you can do this, does that mean all the gods in the God Realm can do it too, and their laws will become as smooth as their hands and feet? If that's the case, then you need to be careful, Brother Hai. You've only just ascended to the God Realm, while those gods have been there for who knows how long. Their understanding of the laws must be much deeper. You might not have any advantage against them."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Alright, you guys continue studying the bloodline array. I have to go back too, after all, there are still many things to do outside." Laura and the others all nodded as well. They knew Zhao Hai had a lot on his plate, so they were already very happy that he could come and keep them company. They also had their own things to do and didn't need Zhao Hai to survive.

Laura and her companions were renowned throughout the Blood Slaughter Sect for their mastery of magic arrays. Their research on bloodline arrays was unparalleled in the sect. They studied not only animal bloodline arrays but also plant bloodline arrays. Many improvements to the sect's divine beasts and battle plants owed their success to their magic arrays. It was precisely because of this that even Wen Yuming and his group held Laura and her companions in high esteem. This respect stemmed not only from the fact that they were Zhao Hai's wives but also from their expertise in magic arrays.

Furthermore, Laura and her group's strength was no weaker than Wen Yuming's. Because Wen Yuming's cultivation methods were related to magic arrays, the more and stronger the arrays he researched, the stronger he became. The same was true for Laura and her group; their cultivation methods were all self-taught, related to bloodline arrays. The deeper their research into various bloodline arrays, the stronger they became. Their research into bloodline arrays had reached a very high level, which is why their strength was also formidable, not much weaker than Wen Yuming's. Therefore, Wen Yuming and his group were not inferior to Laura. Laura and her companions were all highly respected because everyone knew that they were incredibly strong. They weren't just pretty faces; they were women truly capable of standing beside Zhao Hai. Therefore, among the higher-ups of the Blood Slaughter Sect, whether it was Wen Yuming or Wen Wenhai, they all held Laura and her group in high esteem. As for the ordinary disciples below, many of them didn't even know of Laura and her group's existence. This was because Laura and her group always acted very discreetly, and like the people of the Divine Mechanism Hall, they would become completely absorbed in their research. So it was quite normal for the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples not to know them. (End of Chapter)
