Of course, there is a close connection between the soul particles and the soul.
If the soul is an artistic painting with profound meaning and a unique artistic expression, then the soul particles are the pigments on these paintings.
Through the combination and collision of pigments, a pleasing artistic expression is completed. The spiritual meaning conveyed is intangible, but its existence itself is real.
"Is it the bridge between the physical body and the soul?"
Lin Yi fell into deep thought.
Ever since he learned about the existence of the Yuan Shen, he couldn't help but think of the reincarnation of life and death. With his strength reaching his current level, Lin Yi naturally knew that the reincarnation imagined by the world was actually nothing more than myths and legends and did not exist in reality.
At least, the well-known Yuanshen will definitely not enter reincarnation.
But now it seems that the soul will not reincarnate, which does not mean that reincarnation must not exist!
The soul with a distinct personal will has no reincarnation, but the intermediate soul particles with material characteristics are entirely possible to form a set of large cycles similar to the natural ecological chain.
This cycle is reincarnation!
After figuring this out, Lin Yi was immediately excited.
Although he has been unable to verify the authenticity of his idea so far, this does not prevent him from putting it into practice.
Once the hypothesis is established, the problem that restricts the further evolution of life in the new world will hopefully be solved.
Lin Yi is preparing to establish reincarnation in the new world!
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and for a mega-project like this, where everything needs to be explored from scratch, the hardest thing is to determine the direction.
As long as the direction is determined, there will certainly be countless difficulties in the next many things, but at least the future development trajectory can be predicted, and at least I know that every step I take is well-founded and solid.
And this is Lin Yi's biggest gain this time.
Since this was his first attempt, the reincarnation model conceived by Lin Yi was very simple, roughly a circular passage.
Among them, Lin Yi specifically chose a freshwater lake as the starting point of the circular channel and also the end point of the circular channel.
According to general knowledge, the ocean is the place where life is born, and it is vast enough. In theory, the ocean is the first choice for this key node.
But with the help of the vision provided by Zitong, Lin Yi discovered that the place where soul particles are most active is not the ocean, but fresh water.
Therefore, he chose what is now the largest freshwater lake in the New World and named it Lake of Life.
In this lake, the soul particles in the entire new world will be gathered together, and they will continue to collide and recombine with each other, just like atoms forming molecules, eventually forming groups of soul particles of different sizes.
These are the initial appearance of the soul.
Then, Lin Yi specially opened a channel between the Lake of Life and the ocean, allowing these initial souls to flow into the sea.
They will combine with those macromolecular substances with infinite possibilities in the sea, including protein molecules and nucleic acid molecules.
This is the process of injecting soul into matter.
From then on, through the soul, the bridge connecting matter and spirit, macromolecular matter will have its initial spiritual fluctuations, and then evolve into the instinct of survival and reproduction, and further improve the structure of life.
Thus, a complete life form was born.
However, everything has its limits, because the structure of the soul particle set is different. After a long or short time, these soul bridges connecting matter and spirit will be overwhelmed and eventually decompose themselves into soul particles.
And this means the death of the living body.
The next thing Lin Yi has to do is to use the water cycle to bring these soul particles into the land through rainfall, and then gather them again in the Lake of Life in the way of thousands of rivers returning to the sea, for the next collision and reorganization.
This process is the cycle of life.
When the whole process was broken down, Lin Yi's thinking suddenly became clear!
When he completed the initial construction of the entire circulatory system, the new world seemed unchanged at first glance, but in Zitong's field of vision, some of the original soul particles had spontaneously entered the cycle.
Lin Yi was overjoyed.
This shows that the entire life cycle model does work!
It seems to have no effect now, just because the base number of soul particles in the new world is too small. As long as it is given a large enough base number, the entire model can truly operate and promote the evolution of life!
But where can I get so many soul particles?
It's not impossible to obtain them from the outside world, but the soul particles are like gravel scattered in the sea, and Lin Yi doesn't have the corresponding means. Even if he can see them with the help of the divine pupil, he can't gather them together.
Even if he does it forcefully with the help of the will of the world, the efficiency is still too low, and Lin Yi can't afford to squander it at the moment.
"Wait a minute, isn't this already available?"
Lin Yi suddenly reacted.
Now that he has accepted Xia Wenqing's inheritance, Xia Wenqing's own soul has naturally disappeared into thin air, but the souls of the nine former deans have not disappeared with him because of special processing.
Lin Yi thought, and the souls of the nine former deans appeared in the new world.
These nine souls can be regarded as a big trophy of this event. If used properly, they can be of huge value.
According to Lin Yi's original idea, there are two ways to use it.
Or, like Xia Wenqing, directly integrate them to achieve the effect of skyrocketing one's own strength.
However, there are quite a lot of hidden dangers in doing so. Lin Yi's current understanding of the soul is still limited after all. If he hurts his own soul, it will be worth the loss.
Or be more conservative and re-seal these souls into nine guarding ancient corpses.
In this way, nine powerful combat powers can be obtained that are comparable to half-step Xuan level masters. This is undoubtedly a huge improvement for the Lin Yi Group, which is in urgent need of high-end combat power.
Lin Yi originally preferred the latter, but now, his mind has changed.
Compared with the nine more half-step Xuan-level sages, the priority of life evolution in the new world is obviously higher. After all, the new world is the foundation of everything for him!
As long as the New World can make further progress, Lin Yi's overall strength will rise. It doesn't matter if he has nine half-step Xuan-level venerables!
Just do what he said, Lin Yi did not hesitate to smash the nine souls into pieces and pour them into the Lake of Life.
Compared with ordinary souls, the souls of the nine former deans of Dazhou College are thousands of times more powerful. The number of soul particles formed by any one of them is larger than the original scale of the entire new world.
Much more!
Although it has not been experimentally verified, Lin Yi can now see that the strength of the soul body depends largely on the number of soul particles inside it.
