Soul Trigger

Chapter 610 The Spiritual Land

The spiritual realm is the fastest way for Wheel-Turners to regain their memories.

Sitting at his desk, Ji Li fiddled with the Pulitzer Prize cube in his hand, pondering what the tombstone had told him.

Once a Wheel-Turner completes one cycle, their memories of the previous life are completely forgotten, but they are revived during their journey in this life.

Revived memories bring powerful spiritual energy, so if one can consciously and quickly retrieve those memories, one can accelerate the progress of the Path of Reincarnation.

As an ancient organization founded by the Dead Apostles, the Dead Apostles of the Tower of Babel must have gone through the Path of Reincarnation, and have already conducted much research on it.

They will retain the Dead Apostle status of their members and, at the appropriate time, guide members who have lost their memories after the Wheel of Life to recall their memories.

The way to trace back is to find "spiritual places".

The term "spiritual land" is a term coined by the Tower of Babel, referring to the locations where significant events occurred in the previous lives of those who reincarnate.

The major events here are not only those that affect the course of their lives, but also some precious memories.

The locations where these events occur often retain traces left by the Wheel-Turners.

Upon returning to their former home, these traces trigger memories of their past lives, allowing them to regain their spiritual power, hence the name "spiritual land."

The tombstone signifies that this is Ji Li's "spiritual place," where he can retrieve his memories and regain some of his Wheel Reincarnator power.

However, there are two problems:
First, Ji Li is not a Reincarnator, and the tombstone is unaware of this, so this method is ineffective against him.

However, the second question is the key one:
How does the tombstone know that there is a "spiritual place" here that can awaken Ji Li?
This thing isn't some kind of magic pill that will restore your memories once you eat it.

Every individual's experience is different, so the "spiritual place" will naturally be different. You have your tragic childhood, I have my peak in life, and our life trajectories are different.

But the tombstone says there is a "spiritual place" here, which naturally refers to Ji Li's spiritual place, meaning that the tombstone knows him—him from the past.

The Rubik's Cube in Ji Li's hand stopped spinning:
From his memories of entering Felin last time, we know that he had already come to this world as a "pioneer" and landed on White Island. At least his contact with Felin and Baron Ludwig started from White Island.

The tombstone is one of the founders of the Tower of Babel, and judging from the years, it should also be an old Wheel Turner, so there is a high probability that the tombstone knows him.

Choosing to sneak into White Island from Red Maple Town is also a recommendation from Tombstone.

So, is the person whose past is known through the tombstone the "pioneer" that film refers to?

"Miss Felin, what do you think? I've never heard you mention this before."

[His information is correct, but I believe it's questionable whether relying on spiritual sites to trace memories is truly feasible.]

[Unless one has a very deep understanding of a being's past lives, it is impossible to accurately predict the location of their spiritual abode.]

He might know you from a past life, but I find it a bit strange, and I suggest you act cautiously.

"Um……"

Philin wasn't particularly concerned about the spiritual site; he was more interested in whether there was a conspiracy behind the tombstone.

Because she denied the relationship between Ji Li and the "Pioneers," and was only considering the matter from the perspective of the normal path of reincarnation and the purpose of the Tower of Babel.

Returning to the spiritual land mentioned on the tombstone, if everything is as he predicted, then that spiritual land must contain information about his past.

Perhaps it can help him find out why he came into this world and why he lost his memory.

He traveled all the way to White Island because the Tower of Babel and Ludwig's side had a way to trace his memories.

[However, proceed with caution. Once you have established yourself in town, I will officially enter a period of slumber to absorb the fragments.]

[During this period of slumber, if a high-risk emergency occurs, I may not be able to provide timely assistance.]

"It's alright, so far everything is going smoothly. In fact, you can take advantage of this calm period to get some rest and recover your strength."

Ji Li put down the Rubik's Cube and clutched the cross in his pocket. The tombstone said it was sending something over; besides items related to the Tower of Babel, it should also contain clues to the spiritual land. There was no rush; he should first check on the situation in Clementine.

Just then, he suddenly heard a series of barking dogs outside.

Turning my head, I saw a cardboard box package sitting quietly on a tree in the yard outside.

Border Collie Bob was scratching the bark under the tree, pacing back and forth restlessly.

Printed on the surface of the cardboard box was a black knight's helmet, imbued with elements of thorns and death, easily reminding Ji Li of someone—

The tombstone arrived faster than he expected.

He didn't sense any spiritual fluctuations nearby. Compared to Shulong, this guy's methods have obviously improved significantly, probably thanks in no small part to the Anxi object.

Ji Li took the package back and opened it. Inside was a videotape and a wooden container.

There's not much to say about the videotape, but Ji Li didn't know what it was when he first saw it. It was a bit too antique, an archaeological project for someone like him who was from the future.

The wooden container held a fine gemstone about half the size of a fingernail. After taking it out, it could be perfectly set into Ji Li's skull ring.

But nothing happened after the inlay was completed, so he decided to study the videotape first.

This should be the clue related to the spiritual land, but he couldn't quite understand this old relic.

After searching online, I learned that this thing requires a projector to play, which is a rather old-fashioned device.

The good news is that most households on White Island have such equipment for old-fashioned video recording.

After calling Mrs. Duke, Ji Li found the dusty video recorder and projection equipment in the basement of the house.

After a quick processing, the videotape was inserted, and amidst the sound of the rotating wheel, the moving images appeared on the blurry screen.

It was a black and white image, the blurry and distorted picture flickering from time to time, showing how old it was.

The antique-quality image quality also made Ji Li frown.

It's worth noting that from the time he was born until his "failed" ascension, he never saw a picture quality lower than 1080P. If this thing were placed in the Murphy Museum, it would definitely be a museum piece.

The scene showed a vast expanse of tall grass overhead, swaying in the wind.

The camera is positioned high in the sky, and the sound of some kind of aircraft roaring can be heard, probably a helicopter.

As the helicopter gradually passed over and approached the tall grass below, Ji Li looked closely and realized that it was not tall grass at all, but a large wheat field with a huge windmill on one side.

Then the screen flickered, and the helicopter seemed to have moved to another location.

Neither the roaring sounds nor the human voices were distorted enough to be incomprehensible, but the newly appearing images caught Ji Li's attention.

Upon seeing the somewhat familiar scene, Ji Li was first taken aback, and then smiled.

His guess was correct.

Although the black and white image is rough, the huge crop circle is very clear, with traces of footsteps visible from the center to the outer edge.

This was exactly the image of the pioneers he had seen in his memory of Film.

Clearly, this is what the tombstone refers to as Ji Li's "spiritual place":
"Film, can you see this?"

These are traces of the arrival of the "pioneers"...

Her voice carried a hint of hesitation and confusion, leaving Da Lei somewhat bewildered.

"Look, things are getting interesting."
