Chapter 1871: Chapter 1868: Soul Perception
"Wait a minute!"
As he felt the yellow robe tentacles suddenly burrowing into his back, Han Dong quickly stopped it.
"Hmm?
Are you worried that I’m going to do something to your soul? Rest assured... If I were to do something, the Grey one would easily detect it, and then he would definitely come looking for trouble. I don’t want my peaceful writing life to be disturbed.
I’m just going to drill a few special arrangement holes on the surface of your soul to achieve a spirit amplification effect."
"That’s not it... If my soul is turned into an amplifier, won’t it also attract the Out of Control?"
"The amplifier I made is specifically aimed at the Book of Dead Spirit, primarily amplifying the dead spirit attributes you express. Unless something unexpected happens, only the remnant pages will sense your presence."
"What if something unexpected happens?"
"If some special capability truly exists, and there is an Out of Control who can detect the special soul frequency on you, it means they themselves also possess soul uniqueness.
They might become excellent nourishment, toys, or could be cultivated to become my ’Gunners.’"
Upon hearing this, Han Dong was also stunned. This Yellow Robe King seemed quite a bit more reliable than he initially thought.
"Alright."
As the pale yellow tentacles burrowed into his body and touched his soul.
Buzz!
In an instant, Han Dong’s consciousness seemed to be drawn across hundreds of thousands of light-years, traveling along a long-unopened path to a mysterious kingdom.
When his consciousness reacted, he found himself on a wooden boat, drifting on the surface of a pale yellow lake.
For some reason, Han Dong thoroughly enjoyed this moment of tranquility drifting on the lake, as if his soul could truly rest at this moment.
...
"I haven’t seen this little guy’s soul in so many years, yet it has formed such an extremely rare ’enveloped’ structure."
For a time, the Yellow Robe took an interest,
under His perception, Han Dong’s soul actually had a three-layer structure,
with each layer wrapping the most rooted soul at the deepest level.
The outermost layer is a very common "human shell-like soul," even if this layer is damaged during battle, it doesn’t completely affect Han Dong’s wholeness, and he can still maintain a normal battle state.
Further inside is the second layer, the "Faceless Spirit," a smooth skull-like soul shell.
This layer is relatively important, and if it’s damaged, the corresponding Faceless Skull will be entirely destroyed, and its power will be entirely ineffective, plunging the original body into a crisis state.
But it won’t be fatal.
The tentacles released by the Yellow Robe King continued to delve inward while altering their manner of penetration.
From initially "rough tentacles of varying hardness" to "fluid-like, soft, tender, and fine tentacles," to ensure this process doesn’t harm Han Dong in any way.
Gradually permeating the second layer,
finally reaching the deepest part of the soul, where Han Dong’s true soul state is stored - "a cell-like soul substance."
The surface looks pure and transparent, seemingly untouched or altered by any external objects.
When actually touching this cell-like soul, its true nature reveals, displaying a variety of dangerous abilities, including attributes related to the Book of Dead Spirit.
"Only such pure elemental life can ascend to our world; such primordial structured souls are rarely seen.
It is precisely in this primordial, pure state that it can accommodate the ’Faceless Skull’ painstakingly crafted by Naya, isn’t it?
It’s somewhat troublesome; this primordial structured soul must be carefully modified.
Otherwise, it will forever impact Nicholas’s future development, and I would need to consider changing the protagonist in the novel draft I am currently working on."
The Yellow Robe King temporarily put everything down, focusing all his attention on modifying the cell-like soul.
Layer upon layer of small and intricate soul holes slowly formed on the cell surface.
At the same moment,
Han Dong, seated on a small boat, noticed something amiss.
The once tranquil lake began to ripple at irregular frequencies around him, as if something were about to emerge.
"What is this!"
A total of three distinct physical parts gradually emerged from between the lake, namely:
1. An empty inside skull, with only a face skin attached - "Skull."
2. A briefcase with a width-to-length ratio of 0.618, containing a perfect set of "internal organs" distributed inside based on the body’s organ layout.
3. A "heart" carved in stone and separated from the internal organs.
’It’s really working! That Yellow Robe has something going on, huh! However... it seems to be missing a part.
According to the clues given by the Void, there are a total of five parts of the remnant pages thrown into the Shattered Dimension after being torn apart.
I’ve already found the Bone Part, and theoretically, there should be four parts left, but there are only three here.
And it just so happens to be missing the most important one to me - "Brain."
Is the distance too far? Or is it in some special closed state? Or, in the worst-case scenario... has this remnant page been found and taken by an Out of Control?
Let’s first locate these three remnant pages right in front of my eyes.’
Han Dong moved the wooden boat forward, reaching out to touch the face-clad "Skull."
At the moment of contact,
a further sense of connection immediately formed, allowing Han Dong to sense the exact location and even perceive the approximate distance intervals.
At the same time, the remnant page itself also sensed the existence of Han Dong’s ’True Disciple,’ eager to come closer.
"It works! Now to see the situation with the other two remnant pages."
Han Dong immediately touched the briefcase containing the "Internal Organs" and the stone-carved "Heart."
After obtaining the location and distance intervals, he immediately constructed the most efficient ’recovery route’ in his brain.
First is the Heart True Text,
followed by the Brain True Text,
and finally, the Internal Organ True Text.
Under the control of the subjective consciousness, the consciousness returned to the body.
Han Dong also prostrated himself on the ground in the most reverent state,
"Thank you for the soul gift, Yellow Robe King. I have gained the correct direction and sensing and will surely complete the collection in a short time..."
The Yellow Robe King displayed an indifferent look, pulling out a pen embedded in his head as if inspired to create something.
"Alright, go do your thing... If you encounter a danger that you cannot handle, come and find me again."
"Alright."
...
Across an unknown distance.
A "Primordial Stone Spaceship" crafted from Cosmic Black Crystal is exploring the Shattered Dimension. Everything it comes across, be it continental plates or remnants of ruins, is either completely destroyed or compressed using special technology and loaded into the spaceship.
This spaceship is larger compared to the previous ones used by the Matchstick Man and the Bank Clerk.
It carries over a hundred Engineers and Researchers inside.
At this moment.
On the ship’s bridge, a certain Out of Control responsible for dimension exploration suddenly felt a wave of "Soul Flicker."
"Mr.Teacher, just now my Soul Field suddenly received a unique, wide-ranging soul signal. The target releasing the signal also appears to be moving at high speed."
"Not one of ours?"
"A very unique soul signal, definitely not one of ours."
"Let’s go take a look, maybe we’ll find an unexpected discovery."
