Chapter 240 The Spirit of the Soul Bone! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

Since a spirit ring can possess a remnant soul, if the remnant soul is powerful enough, it can actually actively control the spirit ring and release spirit skills.

Hmm. It gives the impression that the spirit rings have a spirit, and that they protect the body.

If spirit rings can do this, then spirit bones, which are almost identical to spirit rings, can also be made to have spirits.

"Well, I take back what I said earlier. There is a big difference between soul bones and soul rings."

In the research lab in Soto City, Chen Hong watched the unicorn skull swaying erratically in the air in front of him, feeling as if a ghost had crashed into reality. Chen Hong's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Soul rings represent the ethereal, so soul bones represent the tangible. In other words, what are you now???"

Chen Hong looked at the white jade skull with a crystal horn on its head, which was curiously flying around on his head after completing the absorption of the source in the laboratory. He was somewhat surprised.

Because many of the evil soul master Qianyu's belongings were refined by the spirit crystal using overclocking divine patterns, the former blood jade skull was restored to its white jade state.

"." Upon hearing Chen Hong's address, the crystal unicorn white jade skull that had been circling above Chen Hong's head was startled, and then lowered its head as if somewhat aggrieved.

"In my original plan, you should have been able to devour Qianyu, and at the same time, devour and refine this soul bone, and then use this soul bone as your new vessel."

"So far, the results you've shown are generally in line with my expectations, but one thing surprises me: this soul bone seems to be working even better for you than I imagined?" Chen Hong looked at the crystal-horned white jade skull slowly descending from mid-air and clicked his tongue in amazement. "Alright, stop experimenting with the emotion simulation module in front of me. Let's get down to business. If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to materialize now?"

Mechanical consciousness: "."

"As always, the Lord of the Clan is able to learn from small things and draw inferences from them." A cold, emotionless voice came from the flying skull.

At the same time, the skull with a single horn on its head began to transform into a ball of liquid energy as it spoke. It then slowly flowed and eventually condensed into a gender-neutral big-headed doll that was about 20 centimeters tall and had a diamond-shaped mark on its forehead.

The big-headed Tang doll has blood-red eyes with golden divine patterns in the center, exuding solemnity, holiness, and indifference to humanity.

The diamond-shaped mark on the forehead has golden lines with floating silver ripples inside.

"Soul bones are a kind of energy solidification technology that can appear in the form of bones, so naturally they can allow you to transform your physical form." Chen Hong silently looked at the big-headed Tang doll in front of him, his eyes equally cold and devoid of any warmth.

"The wisdom of the Lord is as vast and boundless as the starry sky." The spirit machine consciousness, Big Head Tang Doll, calmly praised.

This was a heartfelt exclamation from the spirit machine's consciousness. Before it could say anything, Chen Hong had already stripped away all its secrets.

"Reporting to Lord Hong, since the spirit crystal and the soul within the soul bone are of the same origin, the spirit crystal assimilated Qianyu's remnant soul while also assimil the soul bone to a certain extent. Ultimately, due to my overwhelming power, I directly replaced Qianyu's remnant soul in the soul bone. Because Qianyu used the soul bone in her lifetime, her remnant soul still retains a certain ability to control it. If Lord Hong hadn't kept it sealed, Qianyu's soul bone would have disappeared long ago."

"After I replaced Qianyu's remnant soul, I became a complete soul entity, capable of using spiritual power. The soul bones I control contain soul power and soul skills that can be mobilized. Therefore, I became a completely new life form, which, according to Hongzhu's naming logic, is: the spirit of the soul bone."

"As Hongzhu said, the soul bone is a solidified soul ring. However, according to the concept of soul ring interpretation, the form of the soul ring can change. So, when I completely mastered the soul bone through Qianyu, the solidified form of the soul bone began to change, thus giving me this humanoid form. But I am still essentially a spirit of the soul bone. My body is a spiritual mechanical crystal wrapped in a skin called the soul bone."

The mechanical consciousness told Chen Hong everything about its situation. Even though Chen Hong had already guessed most of it, there were still some details that the mechanical consciousness needed to fill in.

As for not adding anything?

The mechanical consciousness is currently nothing more than a mechanical crystal piloting a humanoid soul bone. Faced with the 'logic trap' Chen Hong placed upon it, it is powerless to break free. The consequence of breaking free would be the self-collapse of its programmed consciousness, infinite recursion, activation of overclocked divine patterns, and a return to a state of chaos.

"I understand." Chen Hong nodded, instantly understanding the reason for 'Soul Bone Transformation'.

The prerequisites for soul bone transformation are somewhat demanding. First, you must refine the soul bone while you are alive, and at the same time, place a part of your soul into the soul bone. Then, another powerful split soul devours the results and becomes the spirit of the soul bone. If the split soul is powerful enough, then after fully controlling the soul bone, it can perform soul bone soul ring transformation.

But... does anyone really want to go through all this trouble and end up becoming someone else's soul bone baby?

Essentially, these Soul Bone Babies are created when a Soul Master completely refines a Soul Bone, then pours their entire soul into it, abandoning their physical body to become the spirit of the Soul Bone!

Without a solid foundation in the third level of Soul Rings, one can only become a Soul Bone Baby that cannot move. Only by possessing a solid foundation in the third level of Soul Rings can one become a Soul Bone Baby that can fly around everywhere.

Of course, Chen Hong quickly came up with a method to quickly create a Soul Bone Baby, directly replacing the Soul Master and turning the Soul Bone into a "humanoid armor" in advance.

Hmm. If I can make a small one, why don't I make a big one?

After the Spirit Machine Baby proved that the Soul Bone was a solidified Soul Ring, Chen Hong's mind instantly became active.

Energy solidification is a very advanced technology, but soul bones are born with it. This is because the circumstances of the world are different, so we must adapt to local conditions and not blindly believe in "technology". As long as the logic can be standardized and replicated, then magic is also technology.

"Forget it, let's build the weak mental network first. Once the mental supercomputer is developed, it will be much easier to work on other things."

Although Chen Hong was burning with fervor, he knew his most important task was to first establish a weak mental network within Soto City, giving the Soul Masters and commoners of this world a taste of "entertainment to the death." Then, the accumulated mental power would allow him to rapidly improve his own mental realm and simultaneously cultivate a large number of Soul Master talents. Furthermore, it would facilitate his subsequent experimental plans.
