Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 821 "The Awakened"

The remaining crew of the space carrier "Eternal Dreamland" hovered in the air, gazing at the standing figure with longing in their eyes. They involuntarily raised their heads and reached out their hands, as if to embrace him.
Their bodies became transparent without anyone noticing, like a hard-boiled egg whose shell has been peeled off, leaving only its perfectly round interior.

These people's physical bodies are cracking and dissipating. What remains is called "the body of thought" by some, "the remnants of consciousness" by others, but most people are used to calling it "the soul".

—The souls of all the crew members belonging to the space carrier "Eternal Dreamland" surged towards Zenrusetsa.

The world is like a sea of ​​suffering, and the human body is like a raft to cross it. The body and soul are inherently interdependent, even for psionicists—for most psionicists who are not so strong or not in a specialized field, the two cannot exist independently.

This is especially true for non-psychics.

Throughout the history of the Eastern Continent, there have been many attempts to build systems such as "reincarnation" and "the cycle of the underworld," but these systems have either been extremely limited or ineffective. Therefore, although many have been created, they have all been abandoned in the end.

One of the reasons is that the "soul" of mortals fades too quickly, is too fragile, and is difficult to preserve.

But now, these "souls" directly exposed to the environment maintained their intact outlines. The girl responded to her expectations, and these souls walked past her; some patted her, and some smiled. In the end, they all turned into a hazy white light and disappeared into Zenratsuka.

No, it's not just the team members from "Eternal Dreamland".

—Souls arrive from all corners of the world, from the corporate alliance to places outside the corporate alliance!
Zenru's appearance had completely transformed; countless souls turned into white light, which then condensed into wisps of mist, gently enveloping the maiden. They spoke in unison, praising and expressing their heartfelt love, wishing to journey together with their beloved idol to the end of time.

As if she had heard too much, tears streamed down her lowered eyelids. She slowly opened her arms, revealing the most inclusive posture to all the souls rushing towards her.

As if encouraged, the arriving souls became even more exuberant. Looking down from the heavens, the atmosphere seemed to conjure streams of these "souls," flowing towards Zen.
The flames that appeared out of nowhere devoured a large area of ​​the stream, burning at least several hundred souls to ashes in an instant.

But this was just the beginning. Immediately afterward, new psionic flames roared again, launching another round of attacks!

Even if ten million, a hundred million people die today

Chong Shi was swept away by Song Shi, but what arrived first was a series of words, each one deliberate and distinct.

"I'll still kill you!"

The true spirit is annihilated!
Witnessing the soul being burned away, a fierce rage appeared on the girl's face for the first time. Both vanished from their spots simultaneously, their terrifying spiritual energies clashing and colliding wildly, threatening to shatter the sky and the earth!
—No, falling, wind!

Song Shi's attack swept away the [Wall of the Heart], which had been pierced earlier, and it was mostly restored, even becoming more solid.

But it's not just the [Wall of the Heart] that's been strengthened!
In the blink of an eye, the two clashed dozens of times. After the activation of the second stage of the True Spirit, "Great Dream Tale", Zenryu Setsuna's spiritual energy intensity surged. In addition to defense, the intensity of her offensive attacks also increased dramatically!
The "Great Dream Tan" enhanced spiritual energy, and then the "3.2 Billion Hundred Thousand Miracles" transformed various spiritual energy techniques, leading them into what is known as "miracle transformation".

Now, every move Zenrucha is making, every casual strike, is like a heavy hammer striking a drum. It is clearly the all-encompassing and all-pervasive demonic technique, yet it has generated a tremendous momentum! It is deafening!
Even when faced with its own overwhelming flames, it did not lose ground!
The source is the power of faith.

Song Shi deduced that faith power was constantly surging from all corners of the world, and even the souls of the fans themselves were arriving, as if the latter were extremely anxious and impatient. Song Shi suddenly realized that in this area, countless people were risking their lives to broadcast live, giving Zenru Shasana's fans a direct look at the situation on the spot!

The latter, of course, would personally come to the rescue!
The real trouble is the true spirit of Zen Ryūsetsu, "The Great Dream Tale".

This true spirit allowed her to successfully accept the surging souls, preserve them, and continuously provide the power of faith to strengthen herself!

boom!
Another fierce clash ensued, the crimson flames still surging and roaring, but Song Shi felt somewhat powerless. It was as if he had written a word a thousand times and should be extremely familiar with it in theory, but when he looked at it intently, it felt strangely unfamiliar.

—It severely interfered with my ability to use my psychic powers. "Humans are so insignificant."

The intense rhythm of offense and defense, with dozens of exchanges occurring in a single breath, caused the atmosphere to collapse and mountains to crumble. In this dizzying moment, Zenru's voice suddenly rang in Song Shi's ears, carrying not a trace of urgency or tension, only a peaceful and soothing tone.

"Consciousness can transcend the constraints of reality, ascend to the impossible, and witness the unique splendor of the world."

"Humans are so fragile."

She murmured, and then declared.

"But human dreams never die!"

Under the continuous barrage of [Consensus] spiritual energy, an irreparable oversight finally occurred, catching Song Shi completely off guard. This oversight naturally did not escape the girl's notice, and she seized upon it precisely, delivering a heavy blow that sent Song Shi flying backward for thousands of meters before regaining his footing.

"Pah!" Song Shi felt a terrible headache, as if someone was stirring his brain with frozen steel nails. "Hey, so that's the line of thought."

The headquarters of the giant corporation [Dust Contract Generation] is located in "Shenge City", known as the City of Dreams. Every year, no, every day, a continuous stream of people enter this city. They have nothing but the dreams they hold tightly to their hearts.

Many people have carved a sentence in their cramped basements: "Either let your dreams shine in the sky, or rot in the mud." Even if they die, they want to die on the land of Shenge City.

Without a physical body, the soul cannot exist forever. This is common sense, but there are exceptions! If one holds onto an extremely strong and unyielding attachment, then even an ordinary person's soul has a chance to remain for a period of time. This is the origin of ancient earthbound spirits and many modern urban legends!

At this moment, Song Shi had already discerned the true spirit of Zen Liu Chan Na.

"Dreams are unique, and you maintain your unwavering obsession by taking these people's 'dreams' as your guide. Ha, the Empire should really give you an award to reward you for your patent on the path of faith."

Song Shi raised his eyes. Hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more? Even he couldn't count them all at once. How many dreams were being woven around the girl in front of him, how many souls were being drawn to her?

“I am trusted, and they even choose to entrust their dreams to me.”

Amidst countless layers of dazzling brilliance, stands a girl of unparalleled beauty.

Crystal-clear tears silently slid down her cheeks, as if in sorrow, yet the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a radiant smile, simply because idols are inextinguishable lighthouses, are the sunlight that pierces through the gloom, and are meant to use this constant smile to bring hope, comfort, and the strength to move forward to everyone who looks up to them.

"I cannot let you down."

Song Shi wiped away the last bit of blood from the corner of his mouth.

The re-execution rotation.

After a fierce battle, the prerequisites have finally been met.

True Spirit, Second Stage.

—"The present world"!
