Chapter 459 The Sea of ​​Consciousness Planet, The Sea of ​​Souls! [Please subscribe! Please vote!]

Regarding the fact that all the seventh spirit rings in the world are Martial Spirit True Forms, Chen Hong's assessment can be summarized in one sentence: survivor bias.

From the very beginning, the Martial Soul True Form has been a manifestation of the power of the Soul Beast bloodline.

Do you still remember the three essential elements of a martial soul that Chen Hong gave?

Bloodline (material), spirit (will), and soul (mystery). Bloodline can be inherited, while spirit and will can be altered later in life and can also influence bloodline in reverse (psychological effect). As for the soul, Chen Hong could only say it's something higher, dependent on the spirit, but a mysterious entity at a higher 'dimensional' level than the spirit. Like the question, does the brain know what it is? Currently, humanity cannot explain it; they can use this power, but cannot yet comprehend it.

Logically, bloodline and spirit should be able to form a martial soul, but just as to prove the saying that "triangles are stable", the soul occupies a complex position in the martial soul. It is like a backdoor deliberately left by certain forces, through which the martial soul can be changed against common sense.

For example, Chen Hong's martial spirit, [Psychic Power], is influenced by the soul aspect among the three elements.

Or perhaps, if a god is reincarnated, his soul power will cover the bloodline and spirit of the second life, thus awakening a god-level martial soul. The more I think about this mechanism, the more I feel a sense of déjà vu, as if I have seen it somewhere before.

The dual selection mechanism of schools, companies, and organizations is all too common.

However, in the Douluo Continent, people have a better name for it—talent.

The Milky Way shimmered silently, brilliant yet desolate. In his own soul's starry sea, Chen Hong's consciousness continued to ascend until time and space blurred within the Milky Way. Only then did he have to stop, hovering in the dreamlike, brilliant Milky Way, gazing forlornly at the dark starry sky and dazzling nebulae.

Chen Hong looked down at his sea of ​​consciousness, which had transformed into a golden star, and then looked up at the seemingly infinite galaxy of souls, a silent thought rising in his heart.

The spiritual universe of a normal person could not possibly be so boundless and vast, not even his.

"Can we talk?" Chen Hong, who was floating quietly in his own sea of ​​soul stars, suddenly spoke to the silent starry sky.

"I think that a treasure of that level must have its own consciousness."

The Milky Way was silent and still, but Chen Hong still spoke softly.

The spiritual sea of ​​consciousness and the starry sky of the soul—the former is something Chen Hong could perceive from the moment he became a Soul Master. However, the latter is an ability he unlocked after his spiritual power level reached level ninety.

A normal person's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness is like a lake, while the starry sky of the soul is like a certain range of star-colored atmospheric layer.

However, Chen Hong's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness was an ocean of stars, while his soul's starry sky was a real starry sky. He could understand the former, but the latter was clearly abnormal.

Chen Hong had always suspected that the super "relic" [Dimensional Star Map] that led to his transmigration and rebirth should be deep within his soul, or have established an anchoring relationship with his soul.

It wasn't until Chen Hong's mental strength level reached level ninety that he truly unlocked his soul starry sky and discovered its anomaly.

Qian Daoliu told him that within each person's soul starry sky, there exists a "self" in the form of a martial soul true body. When he was clearing out evil soul masters before, he discovered that many of the evil soul masters' soul attack methods were all aimed at that self in their soul starry sky.

Chen Hong understood that what Qian Daoliu was talking about was the origin of everyone's soul. Because it was the origin, it would not have any illusions and would appear in its purest form.

A Soul Master's seventh Soul Ring requires comprehending the origin of their Martial Soul, which is inextricably linked to the origin of their Soul.

Therefore, Chen Hong thought of finding the origin of his soul and seeing what his soul was like.

But now, he finds himself unable to find his true soul in this soul-filled starry sky, which is comparable to a real galaxy.

Because it was simply too vast. Moreover, Chen Hong had a vague premonition that he could not stray too far from his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, or rather, he could not forget the anchor point of his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, otherwise he would be lost in the starry sky of his soul, his consciousness trapped, and he would never be able to awaken.

Sure enough, anything related to the soul is extremely troublesome. Chen Hong muttered to himself.

After waiting for a while in the Star River of Souls and receiving no response, Chen Hong's eyes flashed, and he turned and flew towards the planet in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After his consciousness returned to his own planet in his sea of ​​consciousness, Chen Hong looked up at the spotless starry sky and then immediately sat cross-legged to enter a meditative state.

As he entered a meditative state, the planet in his sea of ​​consciousness beneath him gradually began to radiate a brilliant golden light, like a star awakening and emitting light and heat in the desolate starry sky.

The only thing Chen Hong could absolutely control was his own sea of ​​consciousness planet. Since he couldn't get a response from the dimensional star map, he gave up asking the big boss to withdraw his supernatural powers. Instead, he chose to try to use the power of his own sea of ​​consciousness planet to comprehend the soul origin hidden in the starry sky from the bottom up, from the spirit to the soul.

And this is destined to be a time-consuming process.

As Chen Hong entered meditation, and the planet in his sea of ​​consciousness emitted golden light within the starry sky, the once brilliant Milky Way gradually dimmed, and the light of the stars changed. Some stars were perishing, but new stars were also being born.

In the high-dimensional void beyond the reach of the Soul Star Sea, a perfectly round, transparent sphere, absolutely smooth from any angle, gradually revealed a golden hue. Chen Hong's consciousness star appeared on the curved surface of the perfect sphere.

"Everyone has their own path in life, and you are no exception."

"Before your understanding is fully formed, engaging with the Ascension to Godhood system is merely a reenactment of the sacrificial ritual."

"You have embarked on a completely new path, but I have no doubt that the moment you see the Dimensional Sphere, you will deduce the path to godhood. For that is the very method you will ultimately perfect."

"Under this conceptual framework, the path to godhood is a path of no return."

Are there two identical Bodhi leaves in the world?

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and you are the One Who Retreats."

An unobservable hand reached out from the void and lifted the dimensional sphere.

"Only after countless ages have passed have I truly understood this statement."

"I saw a different future, a different past."

"We will meet; it won't be long."

"Hong".
