There are resurrection techniques in this world, and there are quite a few of them.
In the past, the Supreme Heaven could also create a magic cauldron to resurrect mortals. The Shadow of Avalon was essentially a large-scale resurrection ceremony. Moreover, Tiansi and Pillar God transformed the souls of mortals into apostles who could descend in the material world, which was also considered a kind of
resurrection.
Except for this kind of power involving the levels of Tiansi and Pillar God... According to Aiwass's understanding, the "Insect Amber" master of the Dusk Path has mastered the non-destructive resurrection technique, and the path characteristic "Silent Dead" can also give people the third life.
A second life, a life dedicated to the road can also be exchanged for a life.
Even Aiwass's "sister" who does not exist in his memory has her achievements recorded in the Silver and Tin Palace of Avalon - the invention of an unstable resurrection mixture.
However, any resurrection comes at a price.
The birth, aging, sickness and death of all things are the laws of the world and are the basis for the world to achieve a perpetual cycle.
People are born with a soul, and during the growth process, the soul gradually develops and grows; and after death, the fruit falls to the ground, and the soul returns to the world again... and then the seeds sprout and give birth to new people again.
Under this process, the total amount of souls will increase. And the total population of mortal things will also increase. This is a positive cycle that can compensate for each other. From this perspective, the world is like a bank.
Loans are continuously provided. The slow growth of the soul in the material world is the interest it receives.
But if a large number of people no longer participate in this cycle during this process...for example, if they become apostles, become undead, or are resurrected, the world will eventually be unable to make ends meet.
——If one day, everyone gains eternal life and the world's soul reserves are completely exhausted, then children will not be born. Newborns who are forcibly born will no longer have souls.
This is not unfounded.
But the "soulless syndrome" does exist.
In the ancient Parthian country, because a large number of rituals involving souls were performed simultaneously in various places, pregnant women who got pregnant or gave birth in the wrong place sometimes might give birth to a child without a soul.
They are like natural vegetative people, but the situation is different. Their brains are normal, but they can't be activated... It's like the computer hardware is normal, but the operating system is not installed.
Parthian scholars have also studied this phenomenon.
There are also people who try to use various means to activate the soulless baby brain, but they have never been able to awaken its intelligence as a human being - the upper limit is to turn humans into animals.
Without a soul, you cannot remember your own name...or, in other words, you cannot separate yourself from the world. Therefore, you cannot have an independent personality...Even if strict domestication methods can even make soulless people act and speak autonomously, they still
There is no personality. The plan that is currently closest to completion is to use a pseudo-soul driver, using the body of a soulless patient as a golem driver.
Jacob's research can fundamentally solve this problem.
In this village that was solidified by the power of dusk, there were no newborns originally. It was essentially a naturally existing "soulless environment" and no more newborns could be born.
When Jacob was in his twenties, he developed the technology to create "Swampmen".
Copying the soul through some means - in theory, this is actually a one-time resurrection technology that relies on special geographical conditions to achieve, but it is not too outrageous.
However, Jacob created a bug through some means. Or simply the ritual he designed created a bug.
——He allowed the "original soul" that should have been destroyed when the new soul was born in principle to be preserved for unknown reasons.
In this way, he turned the skill of "resurrecting souls" into "copying souls".
In other words, a person is divided into two by him.
Jacob should have known that this technique was taboo and would cause huge controversy.
Therefore, he did not release the "originals" of his soul, but stored them in a place that only he knew...
If nothing else, it should be inside the Fairy Cave.
Aiwass guessed that this was a coincidence.
Because if Jacob did it on purpose, then there is no reason for him to hide his souls in the Goblin Cave... Instead, he should preserve them through some means or conduct secondary experiments. These souls are undoubtedly extremely valuable."
Orphans" are valuable special cases where errors have occurred.
It was as if he had made a wrong reading during an experiment and quietly set the reading to the correct position with a guilty conscience - he hid the original souls that were not destroyed by the ritual in the Fairy Kingdom, so that no one would know that they were actually
was not properly destroyed.
From this perspective, it is even possible that those mud turtles were brought here to be raised by Jacob——
After all, mud turtles are not purely undead, but wild creatures.
They cannot be born naturally. They must have migrated from somewhere. It is entirely possible that after Jacob realized his mistake, he stopped the Swampman ritual and got a group of mud turtles to plug the opening.
.
The purpose is to prevent people from opening the goblin cave, so that they can enter the goblin kingdom and see the original souls of those "swamp people" who should not be here in principle!
Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Speaking of which, Haina's father..."
Aiwass suddenly remembered that the magnetic hammer was the Eagle Point Village that he came to almost ten or twenty years ago.
What happened then?
That was because Haina had been born for some reason, breaking the common sense of Eagle Cape Village.
At that time, Haina's biological father suddenly ran away from his pregnant wife for some reason and left Yingjia Village. He never came back.
At that time, Jacob had returned to Eagle Point Village for the second time for a long time, and he had not yet died of "typhoid fever".
If the swamp ritual had stopped functioning by then, why would Haina's mother travel to the swamp?
How could she find the magnetic hammer if she didn't go to the swamp that was a restricted area?
But if we regard this as Jacob's experiment... and regard these unnamed aborigines as Jacob's assistants, everything can be explained!
In chronological order, the clues were quickly pieced together in Aiwass' mind——
Initially, Jacob should have entered Eagle Point Village by mistake when he was in his twenties.
Through coincidence, he found this village filled with the power of dusk, hidden in the cracks by the power of fairies, and the fairy cave full of pure earth element power. Then he developed an incomplete resurrection ritual through his genius...
But his research failed.
The resurrection ritual did not work properly because the original soul was not destroyed by the ritual. So Jacob stopped or suspended the ritual and left Eagle Point Village.
More than forty years later, Jacob, who already had two sons and was about to retire from the stage of history as Hands Without Scales, returned to Eagle Point Village again.
He didn't plan to leave this time.
And he, who is more skilled... through some means, allowed Yingjia Village, a village sealed by the power of dusk, to give birth to a newborn baby.
Therefore, he became what the elders call the "benefactor" of Yingjia Village.
Haina is one of the samples he cultured.
Not only is she consistent with ordinary people, but she also possesses the ability to adapt to roads beyond dusk; in addition to being insensitive to time, there is not even a trace of Yingjia Village left in her. She can even leave Yingjia Village normally without
A problem arises - although the indigenous people can leave here, the "swamp people" cannot leave.
Then Haina's father suddenly fled Yingjiao Village for some reason.
Immediately afterwards, the Swampman ritual started again.
He definitely wasn't doing it for resurrection techniques at that time. He could have completed better resurrection techniques long ago.
At this time, he started the Swampman Ritual only for its original by-product - the copied artificial soul.
And then...his death.
Aiwass suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Jacob, his own grandfather, invented resurrection technology in his twenties and even invented an artificial soul...
Is he really dead?
Also, why did he catch up with the "wind chill" at the same time as himself?
