Chapter 358 Soul Power Control, Dimensional Reduction Strike! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

Soul Eye's skill is very simple; it's a passive ability that allows it to directly observe soul power!

This skill, if it were any other Soul Master, would only be considered a rare Soul Skill, far from being a divine skill!

But in Chen Hong's case, directly observing soul power—what does that represent? It means that, within the quantum superposition concept of "Schrödinger's Cat," someone suddenly claims to be able to see the changes inside the "black box" in real time!

To put it simply, it's like Chen Hong traveling back to ancient times and discovering that he can see oxygen. Ancient humans in regions with the highest oxygen levels seem to live longer. This is a discovery that other humans can only comprehend through long periods of sensory perception, but Chen Hong can see it directly with his eyes!

Soul power, as an energy particle that can be found everywhere in the world of Douluo, is something that even Qian Daoliu, the high priest of the angels and a peak level 99 Douluo, can only observe with the vague term "perception". He can only sense the density of soul power, but cannot sense the soul power particles themselves!

And do you still remember Chen Hong's outline in "The Theory of Three Souls"? Soul power is the fragment of rules, soul rings are the phantom of rules, and soul bones are the reflection of rules!

Although this extraordinary world may not follow the rules of physics, its essence is still governed by rules, or as it is called in the local parlance of this world: laws!

Soul Masters' unique and extraordinary Soul Skills are created by injecting Soul Power into Soul Rings and then releasing the Soul Skill!

Soul power is the fragments of rules, the foundation. Under the constraint of the divine runes inside the soul ring, it forms a response to the rules and becomes the soul skill that can affect the real world!

Although Chen Hong had never observed soul power, the reason why intelligent beings are so precious is that they can always have a flash of inspiration and draw forward-looking conclusions!

Chen Hong's research on spirit rings and spirit bones has reached a very profound level. For example, his achievements in the spirit ring field include spirit ring interpretation, spirit ring sacrifice, spirit ring imprinting, and spirit ring divine runes, among others. His achievements in the spirit bone field include bone spirits, activation of external spirit bone skills, spirit bone divine runes, and the shared origin of spirit bones and spirit rings, among others!

However, there was one area that Chen Hong could never find a way to enter, and that was the soul power that Chen Hong defined as 'rule fragments'!

To look directly at soul power is, in other words, to look directly at the rules of this world!

When Chen Hong can observe all the soul power particles, he can directly see where the soul power is concentrated, directly observe the composition of the soul skill, and even deduce the opponent's soul skill divine runes from the soul skill released by the opponent!

Furthermore, being able to observe soul power particles, Chen Hong is qualified to solve one of the world's greatest unsolved mysteries—why soul masters can cultivate!

As a Soul Master, and a human Soul Master whose entire understanding is based on Soul Power, Chen Hong is like the strongman in the paradox of "a strongman can never lift himself," seemingly trapped in some kind of cognitive barrier, unable to understand why Soul Masters are able to cultivate, and what determines the speed of their cultivation. If he could solve this problem, it would mean that Chen Hong's "Soul Beast Cultivation Science" would be completely perfected!

"Soul Eye? Eye of Rules? Cough cough...none of that matters anymore."

"The important thing is that I can use these eyes to officially shake the true foundation of this world."

"When the time comes, the difference between innate soul power and acquired soul power... Hehe, once my eyes recover, I will definitely prioritize solving this problem."

"When the mysteries of innate soul power are unlocked, everything about the Holy Six-Winged Angel's innate level 20 seems to become understandable. Even the appearance of artificial innate soul power particles, while increasing soul masters' affinity for the soul power of heaven and earth, can also shake the very foundation of this world."

"That was the era of everyone becoming a Soul Master!"

Under the starry night, on the blue stone, Chen Hong, who could not see anything, sat cross-legged on the big rock, waiting for Qian Daoliu, who had been overturned into the sea and was blowing bubbles by his smooth little combo, to wake up, while silently sorting out his thoughts and feelings.

"Legendary miracles attributed to the gods include divinely bestowed soul rings, divinely bestowed soul power, divinely bestowed soul bones, and even divinely bestowed martial souls? It's rumored that the martial soul of the High Priestess of the Sea God is called the Sea God—is that a divinely bestowed martial soul?"

"I can understand both divinely bestowed soul rings and divinely bestowed soul bones. They are all variations of soul techniques and divine runes. The reason why gods can master this kind of power must be that their observation methods have been upgraded, such as divine sense, which is higher than mental power."

"In that case, my observation tool, psychic power, should at least be on par with divine sense. The potential of my psychic power in a mother worm planet-like body might even be slightly more advanced than divine sense."

"Divinely bestowed martial soul. This is actually quite easy to understand. The three elements of a martial soul are soul, bloodline, and spirit and will. The strongest element is displayed first. Martial soul mutation is also based on the same principle. It is simple for gods to manipulate."

"What's truly noteworthy is divinely bestowed soul power. Gods possess the means to directly increase a Soul Master's soul power level. If I'm not mistaken, the principle behind this is that they can invoke divine power? Divine thought? to influence soul power particles, thereby directly increasing a Soul Master's soul power level."

In the Divine Trial, the rewards of increasing soul power by a certain number of levels have lost their mystery in Chen Hong's eyes now. Given enough time, he is confident that he is capable of achieving it!

It is also worth mentioning that Chen Hong's mental power seems to be half a level higher than divine sense. It can directly affect soul power particles, and the degree of influence may be more efficient than divine sense. This allowed Chen Hong to try to use his mental power to interfere with the soul power particles in the Soul Eye's field of vision, forming a "soul particle deviation" that directly disintegrated Qian Daoliu's Angel Martial Soul True Body.

Since mental power cannot perceive and anchor soul power particles, Chen Hong's "soul particle deviation" will be a dimensional reduction attack for soul masters below the level of gods!

The Soul Eye is like a dimensional ascender, allowing Chen Hong's mental power to break through cognitive barriers, observe soul power particles, and thus unleash the power that should have existed in the first place, launching a dimensional reduction attack on soul masters.

Only when the same dimension exists, such as when the psychic power in front of the Soul Eye cannot affect the Soul Master's mental shield and soul power shield, and the psychic power behind the Soul Eye also cannot affect the divine power and divine thought of the gods, will the psychic power become ordinary again.

"The only downside is that the sudden surge of data in my Soul Eye's vision is too much, resulting in insufficient mental energy consumption. I almost always go blind every time I use it."

Under the starry sky, Chen Hong sighed slightly. The Soul Eye was good in every way, but his current software and hardware were not up to par. Activating the Soul Eye once was like charging a mobile phone by directly connecting it to a 220V household power supply.

It burns out every time you charge it.

The theory of the three souls has finally been fully developed, and the power of the gods has been basically reconstructed. The next step is to confront the gods.
