Soul Trigger

Chapter 726 Valhalla Upgrade

A week later.

In the pitch-black space, a cluster of twinkling lights appeared.

The walls flowed like living things, yet they were made of fine, black metal, and a pale blue light illuminated the entire room, reflecting a cold, black sheen.

This was a spacious space with alien-like technology. In the center, an automated recliner slowly sank down, landing on the ground as the bottom mechanism retracted. The countless light screens in front of Ji Li closed and disappeared.
"The remains of a god are actually this World Tree seed..."

World Tree Sub-body involves World Tree Group's core technology, "World Tree Industry".

Its core lies in a mechanical creation that can spontaneously proliferate and possesses certain biological cellular characteristics.

It possesses the characteristics of a plant, can grow like a plant, and its shape resembles a segmented spine, with mechanical tendrils.

It can refine itself, generating sophisticated but singular technological creations, or multiply and grow larger, directly generating buildings.

This is the core underlying logic of all the technological production lines of the World Tree. Whether it is the "carbon-based destroyer" system that Ji Li followed in the Murphy Megastructure in his previous life, or the "demon god technology" system of the founder, they all require the technology of the World Tree's sub-body as a foundation.

The reason is simple: this thing is too useful. Ji Li's "Hall of Heroes", officially called "Intelligent Personality Information Storage and Equipment Warehouse", is also a large building that extends from the World Tree sub-body as its core.

These so-called "remains of the gods" are the lost architectural core of the "Hall of Heroes".

The space Ji Li is currently in is a hidden space directly constructed and proliferated deep underground in Birmingham by the World Tree Sub-body.

With this, Ji Li will be able to reactivate and start the devices and buildings in the Hall of Heroes.

Examples include the catapult assault pods used by the Legion, the technological manufacturing factory that can mass-produce demonic machines and intelligent personality shells, and the ethereal containment pods previously used to directly trap and capture Berant and his companion.

But there are some things he doesn't quite understand yet, because these things have been modified by the pioneers using spiritual technology, and are very different from the World Tree technology he remembers.

It's not that there's a problem with how to use them, but rather that the existence of these things actually relies on spiritual matter.

They were originally material entities, a product of technology, but after undergoing unknown modifications by pioneers, they have now become things that can be absorbed by soul energy.

For example, the Hall of Heroes is located in the secret space bubble of Red Maple Town, but it can be summoned directly to any place through Ji Li's power of law. This summoning can be maintained for a certain period of time depending on the strength of his power of law.

After retrieving the World Tree's offspring, the main body of Valhalla can be projected into the underground space of Birmingham in the real world.

In other words, the space he is currently in, which seems like science fiction, is actually projected from his spiritual essence.

Any changes made to Valhalla here will also be synchronously affected within the space bubble of Red Maple Town.

For these things that he still didn't understand the underlying principles of, Ji Li found a specific term from his memory:

"Primal Spirituality" technology.

The pioneers used this technology to transform Valhalla into its present state.

Ji Li is not from a scientific research background, so he might need to obtain the "power code" abandoned by the pioneers to attempt to analyze this kind of technology.

The portion of Valhalla's functions restored by the World Tree's offspring is also worth discussing.

Five of the military factories that were damaged in Red Maple Town have been fully restored, including three types of automated combat equipment factories.

The first is the [Monster Factory], which can mass-produce monster machines, but its current repair level is low. According to the Hall of Heroes' intelligent program, it is classified as "Level 1" and can only produce the most basic [Jumping Wolf].

The second is the "Firefly Swarm," which can produce a large number of automated firefly combat drones. As the name suggests, they are very small.

However, due to limitations in the level of repair, only the most basic and largest batch of firefly models can be manufactured at present, with the smallest being at least the size of a palm.

This thing originated from nanotechnology, and now we can only make it this big, which is quite embarrassing.

Thirdly, there is the [Companion Legion], which can manufacture automated humanoid combat robots.

This thing belongs to the peripheral technology of the World Tree Group. It is not something developed by the group itself, but rather absorbed from other companies' industrial lines.

For many years, this thing hasn't been incorporated into the core system of "World Tree Industry," so it's actually the weakest of the three unlocked factories. Valhalla didn't even give it a rating because Ji Li has already unlocked all its functions and limits. However, the "companion" robots it creates are cheap and durable.

In this world, its destructive power is sufficient to deal with Awakened Beings at the Projection Transcendent stage. If it were used on a large scale, it would be perfectly capable of surrounding and killing some Overlords with the help of tactical equipment.

Moreover, this thing possesses a certain level of micro-technology. Even with the current level of a first-class factory, it is possible to manufacture finger-sized crawling robots to provide some special tasks.

In addition to the production plants for three types of automated combat machinery, there are also two arms factories.

One is the manufacturing plant for the [Third Skin], which is the basic model exoskeleton of the World Tree, and it is currently also at level one.

This thing is one of the core technologies of World Tree Industry. It is a product of the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Entanglement" series of equipment created by the founder of World Tree, which was iterated down from the original technology.

The things that can be created when repaired to the highest level are in no way inferior to Ji Li's Odin prosthetic body.

The other is the technology equipment and arms production line, which can produce some of Murphy's Pulse Guns and high-tech tactical equipment, as well as some gadgets that hackers like to use.

Without a doubt, the energy that powers these things is spiritual matter, not electricity or any special energy source from the Murphy Megastructure.

This is all thanks to the core transformations that the pioneers applied to them through the "primordial spiritual matter".

In addition to the spiritual energy expenditure of the entire Hall of Heroes, there are now five military factories and other equipment. The Hall of Heroes, operating at full capacity, can almost drain Ji Li's Well of Souls in an instant.

Fortunately, the intelligent personalities that Ji Li collected provided a reasonably sufficient amount of energy for the Hall of Heroes.

They live in the virtual space of the Hall of Heroes, like an eternal divine kingdom. As long as Ji Li does not die and the Hall of Heroes does not perish, they will exist forever, and their various lives in the "divine kingdom" will generate a large amount of spiritual matter to supply the operation of the Hall of Heroes.

The trip to the vault ultimately had a significant impact and generated considerable buzz. Ji Li's placement of Odin's followers in the slums was primarily for contingency planning; saving the civilians was not part of his plan.

But it doesn't matter, all those who died because of him will live on forever in his Valhalla.

Once he fully restores all the functions of Valhalla, he will be able to provide complete android bodies, allowing these victims who still have attachment to the real world to be "resurrected" in human form.

That's power. Once you reach that point, even resurrection is a simple matter.

Now, they are not unable to return to the real world, but they can only use the companion robot shells provided by Ji Li.

This solved his previous concern about bringing the intelligent personality back into the real world so that some believers and their families could reunite.

In addition to these, there is a factory that is slowly being repaired, and the "Odingnagner" which has already been repaired.

As Ji Li's thoughts stirred, the surrounding walls began to collapse, expanding outwards into an even larger space.

He slowly turned around, and azure light shone on him. It was his Odin body, standing quietly in this space, surrounded by various moving mechanical arms.

Amidst the flying sparks, these robotic arms, also derived from the World Tree substructure, are performing maintenance on it.

He spent the past week organizing his memories and searching for new features in the World Tree expansion. The hangar was only fully repaired today.

As he reached for the massive Odin cybernetic body, a surge of spiritual energy suddenly rippled outwards, causing his heart to leap—

What is this?!

The next moment, the soul trigger vibrated, and a sudden change in the wind and clouds appeared before my eyes.

When his vision returned to normal, he found himself in a magnificent museum setting—his own museum of the soul.

At this moment, this space is being reorganized. The underlying logic of machinery separates those ornate display cases, and at the end of the space, it creates an environment where historical museum decor merges with machinery.

Ultimately, it transformed into a unique hangar, with Odin's form at the very end—

It wasn't just one; it was all the Odin prosthetic bodies he had ever used in this world.

P.S.: My sleep schedule is completely messed up. I couldn't sleep last night, and I took a short nap this afternoon. When I woke up, it was already 10 p.m.

It's a bit frustrating, why do humans have to sleep TT
