The soul is the source of everything and the source of all unnatural forces in Ashe's world.
Taking the entire world as a template, the soul circulates within it, and the entire world moves forward in confinement.
The Pillar of Heaven and the River Styx have always been the core of reincarnation, but compared to the River Styx that flows in countless planes and only sends souls to the end of the sky, the Pillar of Heaven in the Kingdom of Gods is much inferior in all aspects.
Its origin lies in the difference between order and chaos. Since it is order, it will naturally not change. The mere effect of transportation cannot make the entire cycle move forward.
Therefore, for the world, the River Styx, which has a natural circulation effect, is much more useful than the Pillar of Heaven. Therefore, even in the Hades plane, there is the flow of the River Styx.
Many devout believers sacrifice everything to the gods, all they want is for their souls to return to the Kingdom of God after death, without having to suffer the pain of reincarnation in the River Styx.
But few people know that the souls of the Kingdom of God will also be consumed. After they are burned out or die unexpectedly again, unless the gods spend their divine power to reshape them, the debris will still return to the Styx.
This is part of the natural cycle.
Mere transportation and migration will not change, there is no change, there is no death of the old, the birth of the new, and there is no reincarnation.
A soul, from the moment it falls into the River Styx, may no longer be described as an "individual".
In the face of the purest and most primitive power of chaos, it will gradually be decomposed and damaged, becoming a member of the entire Styx.
And the soul strength of that soul during his lifetime... The existence of the concept of soul strength is already remarkable, but even the strongest soul will gradually decompose and deteriorate in the River Styx, the incarnation of chaos, and eventually turn into chaos.
a member of.
Those souls that climbed up the abyss and reincarnated as demons were actually no longer individuals for this reason.
If you insist on saying so, those newly born demons are more like newborns born from old souls as nutrients and materials. The memories of those mortals are just knowledge. They are not the past.
But there are exceptions to everything. As far as I know, there are two types of souls that will not be corrupted by the River Styx.
The first type is the souls of the gods.
Their souls can no longer be called souls. They are mixed with "clergy" and "concepts" and form a whole existence.
Especially the gods on the order side, their bodies are combined with the Kingdom of God, and it is not appropriate to describe them as "individuals", they are more like aggregation.
It can be said that from the moment they ascended to the throne of God, they were no longer who they were in the past.
Once they die, it will be like the destruction of a country, a complete overthrow. It will often completely collapse, and those fragments, which may be called the fragments of a certain god, will become trophies pursued by the strong.
It can be said that when they ascend to the throne of God, their souls have changed, completely integrated with the "concept", and naturally cannot re-enter reincarnation.
The seeds of those evil gods actually wrap their strength with fragments of their own souls through their own blood, turning them into poisonous candies, tempting their offspring to become copies of themselves step by step, and have little to do with reincarnation.
The second kind of soul that is not corrupted by the Styx is named Roland...
Well, I’m not very sure why my soul can resist the corrosion of the River Styx. In the past, it was because of my characteristics as a time traveler, but now that I think about it, I think the reason is probably mainly due to my plug-in.
The goddess of creation created the entire world and is the highest-level existence. The goddess of chaos and the goddess of order control chaos and are secondary existences. The power of order is transformed into the pillar of heaven, which connects the kingdom of the gods of order and the upper planes.
, the power of chaos transformed into the River Styx, flowing through countless planes.
My research results have led to the conclusion that life and soul originate from the encounter between chaos and order. Then, life and soul are subordinate concepts of chaos and order. After any life encounters the Styx, it will naturally decompose directly.
This is the crushing of lower-level concepts by higher-level concepts, and it is the ladder of order written into the roots of the world.
And when I am tied to a certain Lord of Order, although she no longer has much power, above the rank, she, the individual who controls order, is still above the chaos represented by the River Styx.
Then, lower-level concepts can naturally not harm higher-level existences, and my soul, possessed by the system, can naturally sing happily on the River Styx.
But after all, I am not all of a class that transcends the Styx. Death and the Styx will still make me pay an equal price. These losses can only be paid by me, not Asteria.
In a sense, I came to a desperate conclusion. According to this conclusion, even if I kill the two creation goddesses, it is difficult to wipe out their souls just by relying on the power of this world. No wonder
They wander around the world like lonely ghosts looking for trouble.
In this way, it is no wonder that in order to clear away the remaining souls in his body, Cavins ventured to Hades to seek the power of death from another world.
I suddenly came to a strange conclusion. I am afraid that there was not only the "Immortal Roland" before, but maybe there was also an "Immortal Cavins", but no one knew that he died while growing up.
Several times, but now that he has expelled Cynthia's remnant soul, he should have lost this immortality.
Under Asteria's guidance, I successfully completed the analysis of Maria's soul, and the conclusions I came to made me feel incredible.
"Daughter of the Abyss? How is this possible..."
Now, I have discovered a third kind of soul that transcends the characteristics of Styx.
Although the specific nature needs to be further analyzed, there is no mistaking the level...
[This is Cynthia’s soul fragment, what did she do... No, she is not Cynthia, this is a brand new individual, but we cannot be reincarnated. No, no, no...]
Well, she couldn't be mistaken. It was my first time to experience such a big mood swing, and the system seemed a little anxious and uneasy.
While using my habitual ignorance to block the rarely panicked system, I carefully considered all the clues.
What did Cynthia do? I also want to know the answer, but I'm afraid no one who knows the answer will tell me.
Looking at the huge creature lying on the operating table, I fell into deep thought. I wonder if I should dissect it a little deeper, but I'm afraid I won't be able to restore it.
"...How long will the sentence be for murdering the empress of the most powerful country in the mainland? Waiting online, it's very urgent."
Telling boring jokes, I could only sigh and gave up this very tempting choice.
It's one thing to not be able to restore it. What I'm most afraid of is that after dissection, I won't be able to analyze her soul fragments. Just as the water of the Styx is of a lower level than me, my level is definitely lower than this soul fragment. There is no system.
It was impossible to help me dissect successfully, and the system is now semi-crippled.
Making some purely logical conjectures will have no impact.
"The seed of the evil god?"
The title of "sister" and the direct and strange connection, as well as the relationship of killing each other, all reminded me of the evil god's seed.
The sons of the evil god will also kill each other, seize the divine power and power from each other's bodies, become more "complete", and eventually lose themselves to achieve the resurrection of the evil god.
So, are these "Daughters of the Abyss" killing each other in order to seize each other's power and become more "complete"? Could it be that Cynthia was resurrected in the end?
This possibility exists, especially during the Battle of Hades, we saw Cynthia's spare body. So, since there is a spare body, does it mean there is a spare soul?
[Impossible, it is impossible to copy our souls. There is no material in this world that can bear our souls, so it is impossible to create soul replicas of artificial bodies. 】
Well, this possibility has been rejected.
[But it cannot be copied, but it can be divided into pieces... I almost guessed what Cynthia is doing. Give me some time, I need to sort it out. It's best to find me two more Daughters of the Abyss.
contrast.】
"Two? Where should I go to find them?"
[….Perhaps, they are not far away from you. I have already remembered this soul wave, your younger siblings Leona, and Eliza…]
"It's impossible for Eliza! Lisa was just an ordinary person back then, a pure ordinary person. With such a soul existing, how could it be ordinary!"
【Are you sure?】
"Sure!"
[Are you sure it happened after you fished her out of the River Styx? 】
I was speechless. Past memories flashed through my mind. Lisa's original magic power and martial arts talents were poor, but Eliza, who was born from her mother's body, had excellent martial arts talents and magical talents.
Also, deeply blessed by the abyss...
[The woman in front of me is also favored by the abyss, and Leona, in a sense, the abyss is also favoring her.] (To be continued.)
