(8000, 2nd update)_2 630: Chapter 596: Let me correct the sins committed by humans!
(8000, 2nd update)_2 It sounds very strange, but in fact, this is actually a very “efficiency-oriented” line of thought.
Rather, if judged purely by logic, such actions are the most reasonable.
Ten billion humans, stacked together, would only weigh about ten billion tons, roughly equal to a cube with a side of about one kilometer… just a small hill.
That Mountain-Bearing Tortoise of the Third Energy Level outside, just in terms of weight, could probably match that of tens of millions of humans, but how many times larger is the city that tens of millions of humans require to live in compared to the size of the Mountain-Bearing Tortoise?
If everyone were to be stacked in a life support device, protecting humans would be a very simple matter.
Just the souls alone would be even simpler to preserve.
All that’s needed is a vessel…
it might just be achievable!
So, if one wanted to protect all of humanity in the face of some irresistible disaster that sweeps across the globe, capable even of destroying the entire world’s ecosystem…
then a plan like that of the Sovereign would actually have practicality.
Destroy the bodies of humans, using their souls as the raw material for a refuge—the Lost Souls support the Sovereign’s power, they link the essence of the Void and Subspace, drawing Origin Quality from nature, each soul is designed to freely combine and form various powerful constructs of abilities, to fulfill their own tasks, supporting the Divine power of the Sovereign.
And the Sovereign, while active in the outside world, ensures his own maintenance, able to avoid even more irresistible disasters.
Just a version of an Outer Space immigrant ship, powered by Spirit Energy.
Every person is a crew member, every person is the ship, with the captain directing the course.
Ian thought to himself.
He recalled his original job back on Earth and, with a sense of revelation washing over him, understood it all: “The essence of the Sovereign is a kind of shelter…
“This is the true nature of the Sovereign project!”
—A kind of Terra Spirit Energy version of a Spark spaceship!
You guessed correctly.]
The Sovereign clearly didn’t anticipate that Ian would be able to keep up with his line of thought.
After a moment of silence, he laughed in a relieved manner: [Exactly.
[There aren’t enough resources on the Terra Continent for everyone to become strong.]
[Even if Sublimators are not interested in ordinary humans and their wealth, just the conflicts among Sublimators alone…
would create the kind of tragedy we see before us]
At this point, King of the Dead Adalbert looked at his hand, focusing on the pale appendage: [In order to save some, I had to destroy many more]
[There’s nothing wrong with admitting it.
I used my own body as the ‘Bygone Dead Monarch’s’ test subject, liberating those Lost Souls—I know the Grand Duke’s purpose, he just wanted to make this technology practical, he only wanted a result, and he would stop at nothing to achieve it.
That’s also why I approved of him; he could make the choices I couldn’t, he could do the things I couldn’t]
[For me, this was the only way to address the atrocities of the Avak laboratory.]
[But how could I underestimate the hatred of the souls that perished in suffering?
The Sovereign used too many vile Spirit Energies and Subspace Technologies.
After residing in me, hatred and despair accumulated, guiding the downfall of fragments of the Void, creating this Subspace Labyrinth]
everything spiraled out of control.]
[Phantasms are killing, viruses are killing, fungi are killing, Magical Beasts are killing…
Even the reality that is continuously overlapping with the Void has triggered a massive psychic shock throughout the Avak Domain—those people who, years ago, unknowingly underwent Artificial Soul experiments, their souls were precipitated by the runaway technology]
[And their bodies, in the spreading despair and hatred, went mad, becoming beasts that choose whom to consume.]
The Sovereign looked up, gazing at the top of the Subspace Labyrinth as if making eye contact with the resentment that constituted the entire maze: [It was I who killed them—I just wanted to save those test subjects, but I ended up killing all the innocent, ordinary people in the Avak Domain]
[I, too, am a Sublimator.
My arrogant decision led to their deaths…
It was only after becoming the Sovereign that I understood, the meaning of this Inheritance is to protect those ordinary people, to prevent them from being meaninglessly dissipated by the hands of an arrogant Sublimator like me]
[Even if the price is death, they can live eternally within the Sovereign.
They will dream a dream, an everlasting one, beautiful and never-ending until true death comes]
[For them, this dream is reality.]
——So there’s a Cyber Space as well.
While the Sovereign fights outside, the Lost Souls inside sleep and dream.
This Sovereign Technology is quite advanced.
This was Ian’s reflection.
But on further thought, the original name of the Void included ‘Cyberspace of Spirit Energy’, and the Sovereign’s nature was essentially to become a mini Void Entity.
In that case, it wouldn’t be strange for the Sovereign to have a local network within their body, letting the Lost Souls dream within, spending a life that is both illusory but also real, filled with happiness and tranquility…
“But what about dragons?”
Ian remembered a puzzle—Sio and its symbiotic body seemed to have a high synchrony rate, so why wasn’t there any issue with soul and body compatibility?
[Dragons are different.
Dragon Souls are special, peculiar entities that are unaffected by the body—based on my judgment, Dragon Souls essentially exist independently in the Void, they’re super lifeforms with souls first and bodies later, similar to the Fae, so any body can perfectly adapt to them.
But unlike the Fae, without a Dragon Body, the Dragon Soul cannot fully unleash its power,]
