Alchemists divide humans into three parts: flesh, soul and spirit. When the body dies, the soul appears. The spirit and soul are generally immortal unless special magic or weapons are used to attack the soul.
Xiao Ming wandering around Liyue Wangshu Inn is a ghost.
However, the souls of ordinary people are not strong, and they will soon lose their memory and merge into the earth's veins.
Only a few powerful souls will remain. They may be forced to exist in the world of the living due to emotions such as hatred, reluctance, etc., and are driven by emotions to wander or seek revenge.
Therefore, these souls have always been the hunting targets of exorcists and magicians. Liyue's alchemists and ritual shepherds often organize rituals to liberate resentful souls.
The strength of the soul depends on the spirit. The stronger the spirituality, the stronger the soul. Correspondingly, the talents of these souls in magic and alchemy will be stronger during their lifetime.
But there are always many exceptions in this world, such as those who came back from the dead in the [Resurrection Ceremony].
"Ansenio's theory has been proven to be feasible, and the Magic Legion plan is also progressing in an orderly manner, but there will always be some accidents in the story, otherwise there would be no need to tell it, right?"
Famas spread his hands, and the travelers, Paimon, and others also realized that the story was about to turn, so they braced themselves and listened carefully.
"Arsenio and the [School of Truth] led by him found the substance that affects the soul and named it "Divine Factor". Under the premise of ensuring safety, human experiments were gradually carried out, and accidents soon occurred.
Appear."
"All mortals who were resurrected from the resurrection ceremony were not affected by the divine factors."
"Ansenio started a more complex and large-scale controlled experiment with full of doubts, and then he was horrified to discover that all the creatures resurrected from the [Resurrection Ritual] did not have souls in the universal sense."
"It's like a monster ate their souls and then disguised themselves as they were before they were alive."
Famas deliberately grinned and gave Paimon a slightly twisted smile.
"Aww! Traveler, help!!"
After just a few words, Pi was so frightened that his face turned pale, he screamed and hid behind the traveler, holding on to the streamer behind the girl's skirt.
"Hahaha... The School of Truth is Munata's famous manifest school. Its members are all crazy in pursuit of the truth and knowledge of the world, rather than gods and secular authorities."
After successfully scaring little Paimon, Famas continued to tell the story of the long-forgotten past with satisfaction.
"The School of Truth has a large number of people, but most of them are based on one-to-one master-disciple inheritance, and then gather regularly. Of course, there are also many extreme lunatics in it. After all, sometimes, it is easier to go crazy when you know more."
"Ansenio is the wisest among them. After he discovered that the living people who had undergone the resurrection ceremony had no souls, he announced the news to the outside world without hesitation."
"Conspiracies, suspicions and public opinion gradually fermented, and scholars from all sides began to debate passionately. Akhtar noticed the turmoil in the academic world, stabilized the situation through political means, and notified me who was negotiating with Vasakla Hubakan in the Dragon Clan Ancestral Temple.
.”
"What follows is a cliche plot."
"After completing the negotiations, I returned to the kingdom and went to the rainforest with Reindot to confront Buyer. She readily admitted that what was taken out of the earth's veins was not the soul, but the memory of the deceased."
"The resurrecting ceremony turned into a scam that ended in an anticlimax. The original material refined from gold forged a new body for the deceased. Those meticulous memories of his life served as the soul, and my authority is only to accelerate the process of merging memory and body..."
"Essentially, we didn't resurrect anyone, we just made up a substitute that was almost exactly like them, based on the appearance of the deceased."
No matter who it was, they would not be in a good mood after being deceived by a trusted partner, but Famas still had a smile on his lips, and he still looked nonchalant.
"While I was shocked by Buyer's words, Reindot also admitted that when Buyer took out the memory, she discovered that those shimmering things were not souls."
"The name of gold comes from [Creation]. Creating real life is Reindot's ultimate goal. Now that she can get closer to her goal with the help of the power of two demon gods, she chose to know it but not say anything."
Famas rubbed his head as if he had a headache and sighed deeply.
"At that time, I was more shocked than angry. The source of my anger was not that I was deceived, but that they quietly and silently played a unique trick on me."
"After this incident, Reindot was still working in Munata, but she also established a new laboratory in Camria; Buyer closed the door and refused to visit, and immersed herself in the World Tree to study the knowledge left by ancient civilizations."
"At the same time, the debate between Munata's other manifest school [Dawn Society] and the [Truth School] led by Ansenio became more and more radical. The scholars changed from different viewpoints to a debate on military philosophy, and finally
It turned into a war that almost split Munata between the north and the south."
"Akhtar has implemented the political philosophy I taught him. If the problem cannot be solved, then the person who raised the problem will be solved."
"The liquidation of Ansenio gradually spread to the School of Truth. Akhtar successfully killed the School of Truth, which had tens of thousands of scholars, down to two or three big cats and kittens. The half-dead fire dragon in the west also took the opportunity to make an attack.
Reproduce the glory of the ancient dragon clan..."
"There is no need to talk about what happened next. Don't worry. Although it is very troublesome, I have taken care of it."
Famas showed a disgusted expression. It was obvious that the handling of the incident had tortured him a lot, and he finally pursed his lips with some dryness.
The traveler and Paimon opened their eyes wide at the same time, surprised by the nature of the resurrection and the many information revealed by Famas. Zhongli compared what Famas said with what he saw and heard, and finally had to admit what the boy said.
It may be true.
"Then Miss Heulia..."
Although he already understood the ins and outs of the Salt God's resurrection, Paimon couldn't help but ask Famas for confirmation.
"Yes, Heulia achieved rebirth through the resurrection ritual."
Famas emphasized the word "rebirth" very strongly, and seemed to deliberately distinguish the resurrection of the Salt Mother from the resurrection of the Liyue Qianyan Army and the people.
"When you are adventuring, you should occasionally find some holy relics, right? The will and memory of the former holder will be lodged on the items, forming a powerful treasure... That salt ruler and salt cup belong to
Heulia’s holy relic.”
"While gold was being studied with a distracted mind, for some unknown reason, a small piece of original material was quietly left in the chess pieces."
"Before leaving the Salt of the Earth, I threw the salt ruler, salt cup, and the remaining original materials into the cave. The memories contained in those two sacred relics were incomplete. Even without my authority, I would have spent a few more dollars.
Over the years, the two can gradually merge."
"Unexpectedly, it only took three days for Heulia to be reborn successfully. There must be some external force involved in the resurrection process."
Famas nodded towards the traveler and Paimon. Thinking of the unusual monster aura on Heulia, Zhongli could probably guess what happened.
"The abyss...or some kind of monster intervened in this process."
