Soul Trigger

Chapter 680 Do not use
Dressed in a suit and tie, leaning on a cane, he walked unsteadily through the crowd toward Ji Li:

"The great Holy Father..."

It's old Green.

Ignoring the stares of those around him, tears streaming down his face, he knelt down beside Jason with a thud, offering his cane with both hands:

"you are back……"

He lowered his head, his voice trembling with excitement, and met Ji Li's gaze with fear:

"This day has finally come... For many years, I have carefully preserved the sacred relic, preserved this key, awaiting your resurrection and return..."

Ji Li took the cane; in his hands at that moment, it was just a short stick.

But as his spiritual essence touched it, the short stick quickly transformed into a motor rotor.

Then it transformed into metal and spread upwards, wedging itself into the modules of his body, becoming a dense and enormous mechanical drill bit.

Angelica stared blankly at the scene before her:
"That... is the real key?"

Old Green let out a bright laugh:

“The mark is for an audience.”

"The cane is for the return of the Holy Father..."

He was enveloped in Ji Li's azure gaze, kneeling like a saint, his arms outstretched in a sacred and solemn manner.

Dense spiritual circuits appeared on his body and transformed into a ball of light.

grandfather?

Jason looked up in bewilderment, only to see the increasingly swollen orb of light on Old Green's chest.

Ji Li realized something.

He raised his arm, and the drill bit in his hand split open, transforming into a straight, rectangular data knife, which slowly pierced into old Green's chest.

"There has never been a sacred place that outsiders can reach. This is merely a place of pilgrimage. The true sacred place lies within the bloodline of the Green family..."

An aged voice drifted into Angelica's ears.

So... he's not Pulitzer, not Raven, and not Dead Apostle.

He is the master of this space; he is "Odin".

I drank the blood of God, and the one I had relations with... was a god?

These were Angelica's last thoughts before she was engulfed by the azure light curtain.

……

The channels of memory flowed, and images appeared before Ji Li's eyes.
-
"What's your name?"

"Film".

The monster in the long dress said this.

"Come with me, I need an assistant."

"I am the Evil One..."

"No, you are an ant."

"..."
-
Amidst the ruins, the man knelt on the ground, looking at the man and woman before him:
“Great Paradox, please guide me to complete my revenge! The Ludwig family will serve you forever and worship you as the eternal god of Duganshire!”

"it is good."
-
"Pioneer, are you satisfied with this statue?"

The man stared blankly at the towering stone sculpture.

"A useless move."

"But these were built by my followers over several months..."

"Let's find something more meaningful to do."

"Feel sorry……"
-
"Philin, I need to leave for a while."

"...Are you leaving?"

"Okay, next time, I'll trouble you to pick me up. Ludwig, you've done a great job these past few days. I hope that next time we meet, you'll have the experience to help me."

"Understood, great pioneer..."
-
In the darkness, Ji Li saw his own face.

That wasn't Ji Li's face in this world, nor was it any of the disguises he had used in this world; it was "his own" face:
Brown hair, beard, a biomimetic alloy jawline, and a face with the distinctive mixed-race features of Murphy's masterpiece.

"I failed again. According to my agreement with Turing, this was the last time, and the most important one. I had no room for error and had to start all over again."

"I don't know when my memories will be reset to in the future. Perhaps you're still striving for ascension and power, or perhaps you're the me who just met Turing. But please remember my words:"
Those things are just things I couldn't take with me, not things I left for you.

"The power of the Murphy's Colossus—do not use it in this world. This is my advice." "You must remember this: do not use anything I left behind. Do not use it, do not use it, do not use it. I'll say it three times."
-
Wheat fields, strange circles, magnificent structures lying on the earth.

"Pioneer, it's been a long time. You seem a little different...?"

"Yes, but I was wrong."

"what did you say?"

"I went down the wrong path."

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. You're already a paradox..."

Where is Ludwig?

"His people are in contact with the locals, and your appearance has frightened them."

Turning his head, Ji Li saw a small group of people.

A young couple stood at the front, looking frightened, leading a boy who appeared to be mentally challenged.

Seemingly drawn by his gaze, the boy suddenly broke free from the couple and ran quickly towards him:

"Aliens! Aliens!"

The panicked couple rushed over and fell to the ground.

The wife bypassed the father and fearfully picked up the boy.
"sorry Sorry……"

"what's your name?"

"Me...?" His wife was taken aback.

"Yes and you."

“My name is… my name is Margaret, Margaret Green.”

"This child is incomplete; he is a product of inbreeding. He will die after six more orbital movements around the planet."

"..."

"I can cure him, but you will have to pay a price."

"...Are you telling the truth?"

"Gene editing, rearrangement, physical rebirth. He will be free from disease, grow strong and healthy, become the best among carbon-based life forms, and live to orbit the sun more than three hundred times on this planet."

"Then... what do we need to give in return?"

The pioneers moved their feet:
"Keep an eye on my Valhalla."

……

When Angelica regained consciousness, she saw the magnificent, colossal building before her.

It is azure and mysterious, mottled, ancient, advanced... like a giant structure standing on a planet, with endless wheat fields below, but the setting sun has turned into a starry sky.

"This is……"

"My 'Hall of Heroes'".

The voice, vibrating with gravity, came from beside her ear, and as she turned her head, her heart skipped a beat:
Pulitzer.

No... Odin?
Amidst the hissing of motors and the heavy thud of footsteps, Odin came to her side, and together they gazed up at the colossal structure, a masterpiece of nature.

Strictly speaking, it is a "warehouse for the storage and deployment of intelligent personality information".

However, the AI ​​personality warehouse inside was empty, probably used up by the pioneers, though a lot of equipment remained.

Moreover, this Hall of Heroes has been modified; it contains spiritual energy and possesses a spiritual core.

In this space, Ji Li's Odin form is unaffected by the passage of time.

By connecting to Valhalla through a prosthetic body that is materialized and reproduced by a personified entity, one can perceive it, observe it, and regain control of it.

[Should we relaunch the system and take over the modular building?]

[Should we relaunch the system and take over the modular building?]

[Should we relaunch the system and take over the modular building?]

Looking at the text appearing on his retina, Ji Li recalled the words of the "pioneer" from his memory:
Do not use it, do not use it, do not use it. I'm saying it three times because it's important.

"Although I don't know how you ended up like this, looking like a bookworm who's gone crazy from research, but..."

[Takeover complete, welcome back, Odin. Access to the "Intelligent Personality Information Storage and Equipment Warehouse" is now fully open, codenamed "Valhalla." You can now utilize the World Tree's high-level arsenal.]

"I won't listen to you."
