Chapter 244 Soul Bone Root Server! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

Some people, like Pope Bibi Dong, can't bring themselves to do it. But Qian Daoliu, who is at the top of the world, doesn't have so many concerns. As long as it interests him, he is willing to take action.

"Root server?" A hint of doubt flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

Chen Hong explained, "That's the term used in soul guidance technology. You can understand it as the spirit of the soul bone, or the bone spirit."

Upon hearing Chen Hong speak of the spirit of the soul bone, a complex and indescribable look flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes. He looked at Chen Hong with astonishment and exclaimed, "The spirit of the soul bone... that thing of yours is so counterintuitive, so bizarre, yet upon closer examination, it makes absurdly sound sense!"

"I originally thought your third level of Soul Rings was already an unparalleled genius idea, but then you suddenly said, 'Soul Rings are illusory Soul Bones, and Soul Bones are physical Soul Rings.' In an instant, you elevated the value of the third level of Soul Rings to something that can only be described as miraculous!"

Since Qian Daoliu had come to Chen Hong's place out of curiosity to find out what the mental network of the Technology Chamber of Commerce was, he naturally also learned about the existence of the Spiritual Mech Baby [Huang].

Regarding [Huang], Qian Daoliu could understand the spirit crystal, as it imprisons a soul, and he could also understand that soul bones possess souls, since soul rings contain remnants of soul beasts, and soul bones certainly have some as well—it's normal and understandable. However, the combination of the spirit crystal and the soul bone to form a spirit baby—no, to become a spirit of the soul bone—was something Qian Daoliu simply couldn't comprehend.

Just like the saying, "I know each word individually, but when they are put together, I don't recognize any of them," this is a true reflection of Qian Daoliu's current state of mind.

But as Qian Daoliu said, "It's counterintuitive, bizarre, yet ridiculously reasonable." Although Qian Daoliu didn't understand the spirit of the soul bone and even thought it was somewhat counterintuitive, if he thought about it carefully, he could see many reasonable aspects in the spirit of the soul bone.

For example, the difference between a spirit ring and a spirit bone: a spirit ring is a container for spirit skills, storing a portion of spirit power inside; a spirit bone is also a container for spirit skills, storing a portion of spirit power inside. As a senior, Qian Daoliu also knew some wasteful ways to use spirit bones: treat the spirit bone as a disposable high-density spirit power bottle and explode it directly! The principle is almost identical to the Haotian Sect's method of exploding spirit rings, except that a spirit ring can be slowly restored after it explodes, but a spirit bone, once exploded, is truly destroyed.

Of course, destroying a soul bone is much simpler than destroying a soul ring. Since a soul ring is a product of one's own power system, it possesses a certain "human protection program." One must have extremely strong control over the soul ring to suppress this protection program and directly destroy it. However, this is not necessary for a soul bone. It is an external object. Although it may have a trace of remnant soul energy, it has almost no influence. One can directly use external force to violently intervene and forcibly destroy the soul bone.

In conclusion, the only difference between a soul bone and a soul ring seems to be their appearance as perceived by the soul master. According to the monstrous words of Chen Hong, it is like "Schrödinger's cat," existing in a strange quantum superposition state. When it merges into the soul master's body, it becomes an energy body, and after entering the soul master's body, it becomes a physical entity, gradually replacing the bones in the soul master's original location (soul masters can basically only remove limbs to extract soul bones, and the skull and torso bones cannot be removed. If there were other methods, Tang Hao wouldn't need to become disabled).

Although Qian Daoliu didn't understand Schrödinger's cat or quantum superposition, upon closer examination, he found that everything Chen Hong said made sense.

Especially when Qian Daoliu thought about how such a large piece of physical soul bone could be directly integrated into a soul master's body without any surgery, and then continue to maintain its physical soul bone state within the soul master's body, just thinking about it made Qian Daoliu feel that it was eerily bizarre!

Therefore, when Qian Daoliu met Chen Hong for the second time and heard a few key points about the "Three Souls Theory" from Chen Hong, the more he thought about them, the more he was able to find events from his more than 100 years of life experience that could indirectly corroborate Chen Hong's words.

"Originally, I was just making a bold conjecture based on the reasoning, believing that the soul ring and soul bone are basically the same thing. But I have been struggling to find a case to support my conjecture. Then, by chance, the appearance of the soul bone spirit indirectly proved that the soul ring and soul bone in the three soul theory are normal. Only the soul power mentioned in the first sentence still needs time and luck to figure out."

Chen Hong seemed to enjoy seeing Qian Daoliu's amazed expression. He placed the book Kelly had finished writing on the tea table, poured himself some tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then lay down on the armchair, leisurely swaying in the warm midday sun.

Although he was at a leisurely pace, Chen Hong's mental perception was constantly monitoring the dynamics of the emerging spiritual network in Soto City. Feeling the rapidly growing turbulent flow of faith within the spiritual network, Chen Hong seemed to see a bright future.

Chen Hong roughly calculated that since he transformed the spontaneously generated faith turbulence into a mental network, essentially turning the previously widespread casual believers into "less fanatical believers," the rate at which faith turbulence was generated had increased by about a hundredfold. The 10,000 sets of protective goggles and battle spirit devices sold by the Technology Chamber of Commerce today are equivalent to creating 10,000 fanatics for the Technology Chamber of Commerce, or one million casual believers.

Hmm. If all one million residents of the Technology Chamber of Commerce were included in the Sotho spiritual network, then one million fanatics? Even if some people don't pay Chen Hong's internet fees due to physical reasons or other reasons, that's still half a million fanatics, just in terms of the speed of faith turbulence production.

Chen Hong even seriously doubted whether the Spirit Hall's God of Faith, the Angel God, might actually have 500,000 fanatical followers.

Because Chen Hong gets netizens to pay for his internet access through the "principle of voluntariness," every netizen who recharges the mental network is actively recharging him, exchanging their mental power for mental data. This behavior is entirely consistent with the logic of the generation of faith turbulence.

Three months ago, Chen Hong tried to forcibly reduce the spiritual power of netizens through exploitation, but ultimately found that he could not achieve a flow of faith.

Hmm. It seems like there's a lack of a logical loop, preventing the activation of the world's belief judgment rules.

Later, Chen Hongcai modified it into a "recharge spiritual data traffic" method, and then he found that netizens began to contribute faith turbulence to his Kuku.
