Chapter 206 The System for Harmonizing Myriad Sufferings
"A system for harmonizing countless pains?"

The young Spiritforged, who had just launched a virtual reality game, looked at the notification from the smart chip with a puzzled expression.

As members of the Spiritforged race, their intelligent chips can not only load various modules, but also gain access to many extraordinary powers.

You can also connect directly to the internet to experience its many features.

However, just as loading various modules requires various resources, many functions on the Internet are naturally not completely free.

Aside from some basic functions, most of the features require additional payment.

Therefore, unlike loading various modules, many functions of the Internet do not require a certain level of soul strength from the Spiritforged race.

However, in most of the Spiritforged smart chips, apart from some basic functions and the software that is downloaded by the user, there is not much additional software.

The same applies to the boy; his smart chip contains mostly virtual reality games.

While these virtual reality games also require additional payment, the prices are generally not expensive and are affordable for ordinary people.

The boy was perfectly clear about how many software programs were in his soul chip.

Therefore, he knew very well that he had never downloaded a software called the "System for Harmonizing Myriad Pains".

In the Realm of All Spirits, there is no such thing as forced installation of junk software.

Therefore, the boy was not annoyed by this unfamiliar software that suddenly appeared.

Out of curiosity, the boy clicked on the software called "The System for Harmonizing All Kinds of Suffering" and began to read its introduction.

"Hiss! It can materialize one's own pain and store it in this system?"

After briefly reviewing the introduction of the [System for Harmonizing All Suffering], the boy gasped in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Others may not feel much about this feature.

But for the Spiritforged race, if they could really achieve this level of achievement, it would be an unimaginable miracle.

The technology in the Realm of All Spirits has now developed to a very advanced level, bringing great convenience to the lives of every citizen.

However, there has never been a good solution to the many pains caused by the inherent defects in the souls of the Spiritforged race, whether through technological or supernatural means.

Even extraordinary soul editors suffer from soul incompleteness, let alone other ordinary spirit forging races.

The Soul Chip has undergone multiple generations of improvements, and all the Spiritforged can use it for simple daily activities.

They will no longer suffer any pain and are basically no different from ordinary people.

However, if you are very focused on something, or if your emotions fluctuate too much, you will inevitably experience a stinging pain or even excruciating pain in your soul.

In a more easily understood way, the souls of the Spiritforged are inherently flawed, which is equivalent to having a huge wound in their souls.

The soul chip serves as a medical tool, capable of bandaging the wound, preventing the risk of infection, and also enhancing mobility to some extent.

However, when one is overly focused or emotionally agitated, one's soul will be in a relatively active state.

This is equivalent to strenuous exercise while you still have wounds. Although it won't cause the wounds to enlarge, the intense pain of the wounds being torn apart will still be there.

Not everyone is able to endure immense suffering to learn and try to become an extraordinary being.

Especially in the current environment, the living conditions of the Spiritforged are already quite comfortable, and there is not much difference between them and ordinary citizens.

When the overall environment is stable enough, most people will naturally become complacent and won't think about making any changes.

Ordinary people's ambition can be stimulated through their own interests and some external incentives, keeping it within a reasonable range.

However, the Spiritforged race's ambition comes at the cost of immense suffering, a classic case of "bitter before sweet," and they may not even get to taste any sweetness.

Therefore, even though the future of every Spiritforged race is clearly bright, there are external incentives to maximize this ambition.

The overall atmosphere of the Spiritforged race was still somewhat low, and they did not fully utilize their racial strengths.

The virtual reality game in the Realm of All Spirits was originally intended to allow many citizens to experience various extraordinary powers in advance, thereby inspiring their ambition.

However, for the Spiritforged race, virtual reality games can greatly reduce the distress caused by their incomplete souls, making it less likely for them to suffer immense soul pain.

This has led most of the Spiritforged to regard virtual reality games as their safe haven.

Whether they can experience extraordinary power in advance is not important; the key is that in virtual reality games, they can truly experience what it means to have a moment of peace for their souls.

Even many exceptional soul editors spend long periods of time immersed in virtual reality games.

After all, the more powerful a superhuman is, the more active their soul is usually, let alone a superhuman in the realm of the soul.

Even if they do nothing, they still have to endure immense suffering far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Although the soul editors at the extraordinary level also possess extraordinary soul strength, their pain tolerance limit and their soul's tolerance to pain are both very high.

But this doesn't mean they don't feel pain. Having a place to alleviate their suffering is naturally very attractive to them.

The boy was not a superhuman soul editor.

Although in the virtual reality game, he is already a Tier 3 Soul Editor, having loaded a total of nine different transcendent modules.

However, in reality, apart from a basic module that was better than nothing, he didn't have any additional modules.

The virtual reality game in the Realm of All Spirits is extremely realistic, and a young person can become a third-tier Soul Editor in the virtual reality game.

As long as he can withstand the immense pain in his soul, he can continuously improve himself in the real world.

Even if I can't become a third-tier soul editor, I can at least reach the second tier without any problem.

But this is not an easy thing; the immense pain of the soul is not something that can be endured by simply gritting one's teeth.

If one insists on persisting beyond their limits, their soul will suffer immense damage.

Every year, a large number of Spiritforged citizens become mentally ill or vegetative due to this, which to some extent dampens the ambition of many Spiritforged.

This is also the current situation of the Spiritforged race. Many talented Spiritforged are unable to become extraordinary Soul Editors because they cannot withstand the immense pain in their souls.

Countless geniuses have been buried because of this, forced to live out their lives as ordinary people.

In a sense, the capacity to endure the pain of the soul is one of the most important talents of the Spiritforged race. The boy's other talents are sufficient, even bordering on genius.

Unfortunately, the boy did not have any obvious talent in terms of enduring spiritual pain.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, he will most likely live his life as an ordinary person, with little chance of significant change.

It wasn't until the appearance of the [System for Harmonizing All Suffering] that the boy was given a new hope.

After carefully reading the entire introduction to the [System for Harmonizing All Suffering], the boy's breathing became somewhat rapid.

If given a choice, who would be content with merely wielding power in the virtual world?

Even if it's highly realistic, it's still not reality and can't bring much practical benefit to your real self.

Without any hesitation, the boy immediately activated the intelligent harmonization function of the [Myriad Pains Harmonization System], preparing to materialize his pain and store it in the system.

Before the formal reconciliation process began, the [Myriad Sufferings Reconciliation System] conducted a detailed test on the boy's soul resilience.

The higher the resilience of the soul, the higher the proportion that can be materialized and stored later.

After all, these pains are only stored up, not eliminated directly.

According to the system, he will still have to bear and digest these stored pains in batches.

Before long, the test on the resilience of the soul was completed.

As an incomprehensible power descended, the boy immediately felt his soul enter an extremely relaxed state.

According to the system, given his soul's resilience, he can only temporarily visualize and store 80% of his pain.

Even though the pain was reduced by only 80%, the boy felt even more relaxed and comfortable than he would in a virtual reality game.

After all, it's just a virtual world. Even if it's highly realistic and can reduce more than 90% of the pain, it still can't compare to the meticulous details of reality.

In addition, each reconciliation can only last for a maximum of five days.

Given his soul's resilience, he could only maintain this state for a maximum of one day. After that, he would have to digest all the stored pain over the next four days.

Without wasting any time, the boy quickly retrieved a document and began reading it carefully.

During this process, the boy was able to feel that the spiritual pain he suffered when concentrating was indeed greatly reduced.

After spending a little time confirming the function of the [System for Harmonizing All Sufferings],

With a thought, the young man concentrated most of his soul power into the soul chip between his eyebrows, preparing to upgrade the module.

As soul editors, they have to do everything themselves, whether it's loading or upgrading modules; it's hard for others to help them much.

After an unknown amount of time, the boy finally completed the module upgrade, and his consciousness returned to reality.

Although there was a one-day time limit, the boy was not worried that he would exceed that time.

After all, he was a third-tier soul editor in the virtual reality game, and the characters in the virtual reality game were initially based on himself.

Therefore, the young man already had relevant experience on how to upgrade his soul chip module and was confident in the timing.

Moreover, he had already set an alarm before the module upgrade, which would send a reminder when the time limit was about to expire.

He glanced at the time and saw that it hadn't exceeded the limit; this module upgrade only took him half a day.

Upgrading a basic module to an advanced module requires three to five comprehensive upgrades.

This was only the first time the boy had upgraded his module in reality.

But if everything goes smoothly, he should only need two more upgrades, which should take at most half a month, to upgrade his basic module to the extraordinary module.

By then, he will be a true extraordinary soul editor.

The ranking of Soul Editors is based on their highest-level Soul Module.

His character, a Tier 3 Soul Editor in a virtual reality game, has a total of nine extraordinary modules, six of which are Tier 3 extraordinary modules.

While such combat power might not be considered invincible at the third tier, it is certainly among the top at the third tier.

The boy couldn't suppress the smile on his face as he thought about how he was about to master true superhuman power in reality.

However, by the next day, the boy could no longer laugh.

"what!"

An indescribable pain welled up from the depths of his soul, causing the boy to writhe on the ground in agony and let out extremely pitiful cries.

"Ouch, holy crap, that hurts so much! I'm gonna die!"

He had experienced excruciating pain in his soul before, but those were all experienced in virtual reality games.

Just as the feeling of ease in the soul is exceptionally clear, in reality, the pain in the soul is exceptionally obvious, even unbearable.

After an unknown amount of time, the boy finally recovered somewhat.

"This is right up to my limit. If it were any stronger, my soul itself might have been damaged."

"However, it's also possible that I used up too much computing power when upgrading the modules before, which caused too much pain to accumulate."

"It is because it needs to be completely released in just four days that such intense pain occurs."

The boy summarized his experience and wrote it down.

The "Harmony System for All Suffering" is currently in closed beta, and the young man was just lucky enough to get early access.

During the experience, he also needs to submit his own experiences and opinions.

If your suggestion is adopted, you will receive a generous reward.

"I think that each reconciliation cycle does not necessarily have to be based on the resilience of the soul, but can be considered with reference to the consumption of computing power."

"besides……"
