Chapter 71 The Secret of the Soul
After hanging up the call, Li Yao did not linger in the woods.
He clenched the glass bead in his palm, already having a guess in mind, and now was the perfect time to conduct an experiment.
However, it was already late, so Li Yao sent a message to Zhi Xin, who had finished her work long ago, asking her to wait a little longer.
He then concealed himself and flew towards the city of Melo in the Holy Kingdom of Ailan.
The palace was heavily guarded, but for Li Yao, it was like entering an empty place.
Li Yao passed through the palace walls, walked along the long corridor, and silently arrived at the entrance of Anishid's bedroom.
The door was ajar, and a dim candlelight shone through.
He went straight through the door.
Inside the palace, Enishid sat at her desk, draped in a thin blanket, with parchment scrolls piled beside her, writing something with a quill pen.
She looked to be in her thirties; her features weren't particularly striking, but she possessed a calm and regal air about her.
Li Yao was standing less than a meter in front of her, and she was completely unaware of it.
Without delay, he activated his Eye of Insight, and golden light silently swept over Anishid's entire body.
In just a few seconds, the life of this mortal queen flashed before his eyes like turning the pages of a book.
From peasant girl to wanderer, from wanderer to rebel leader, from leader to queen.
Throughout this process, she walked on the edge of a knife, calculating every step with meticulous care.
Li Yao had to admit that Anishid's ability to get to where she was today was indeed remarkable.
In terms of cunning, shrewdness, leadership skills, and political acumen, she far surpasses Angel Yan in the original work after she made the oath of protection, and even surpasses Angel Yan in the present day.
After all, the new generation of angels is indeed too pure, and they are not as cunning and shrewd as some mortals.
But it was precisely because of this that Li Yao could see that Anishid's faith in angels was not pure.
She believed in angels not out of piety, but because she believed that angels could bring her great benefits.
Justice and order are the foundation of the Southern Kingdom, and the angel's faith is her trump card in suppressing the northern barbarians.
She was a shrewd politician who used faith as a tool to its fullest extent.
Li Yao even considered one possibility.
If Enishid really becomes the Angel Queen, will she convert a large number of Frieza's people into angels, allowing her own people to occupy the vast majority of the angelic army, and thus completely control the entire angelic civilization?
"I need to write this down."
Li Yao gave himself a mental reminder.
This is a topic that I need to discuss with the Queen and my teacher later.
He snapped out of his reverie, took the small glass bead from his pocket, held it in his palm, and immediately activated the quantum engine.
A thin golden thread emerged from the glass bead, one end connected to the bead, the other slowly drifting towards Anisid, landing on her chest, piercing through her clothes and skin, and disappearing deep into her body.
Li Yao manipulated the thin line, like a fisherman, slowly, gently, and steadily pulling it back.
At first there was nothing, only a thin, taut golden line.
A few seconds later, a faint golden halo appeared on Anishid's body.
A blurry ray of light and shadow was slowly peeled away from her body by a thin thread.
The light and shadow were exactly the same as the one Li Yao had encountered in the woods before, in size and shape, only more solid.
At this moment, Enishid frowned, as if she sensed something was amiss.
She looked around and saw nothing unusual. She stood up and stretched for a while before sitting down again and writing.
In just a short while, Li Yao had completely separated the light and shadow from Anishid's body.
The light and shadow hung in mid-air, trembling slightly, pulled by the thin thread, and slowly retracted into the glass bead.
The moment light and shadow touch the surface of the pearl, it merges into the pearl as easily as water flowing into a lake.
At the same time, inside the glass bead, the figure of Angel Alan suddenly froze.
Alan, who was originally in a state between reality and illusion, has now become a solid entity.
Li Yao stared at the beads for a while, then looked up at Anishid, who was still working at her desk.
"He is indeed the successor, not a reincarnation," he thought to himself.
In the Super God Universe, dark data is the fundamental information at the bottom layer of the universe, and everything exists in the dark dimension in the form of dark data.
Advanced civilizations can back up personal dark data in advance, and after the original body dies, they can directly retrieve the data package to recreate the physical body and revive.
But to put it bluntly, this thing is just a high-level clone. Who can guarantee that the person who is resurrected will still be the same person?
What if it's just a copy with the same memories and emotions?
If this technology becomes widespread, what meaning will life have?
Therefore, Keisha has always disagreed with the practice of dark data reincarnation within the angels.
After all, dark data is just cold data, without any spirit.
But the soul is different.
The soul is spiritual; it is the true origin of the original person.
According to the setting of the Super God Universe, it can be said that the soul is a higher level of dark data, a collection of high-level dark data that carries self-awareness, emotions, personality, and original will.
Ordinary matter only has basic dark data, lacks self-awareness, and therefore has no soul.
Intelligent beings, capable of thought, love, and hate, possess a dark data set imbued with personality and will—this is the soul, but it is often difficult for humans to observe.
God's dark data does not dissipate, and the soul seems to have a similar property.
The Alan inside the bead is a complete soul, while the one inside Anishid is only a fragment of dark data.
Keisha could not sense Alan's soul. Although she had Alan's dark data, she did not choose to resurrect her.
Instead, a portion of Alan's dark data was embedded into the life of a mortal, allowing Alan to continue in another way.
Li Yao believes that this approach is merely wishful thinking on Keisha's part. After all, Anishid is not Alan; she is a new life with her own thoughts.
Moreover, for Li Yao, he still preferred Angel Alan between the two.
Li Yao put the bead into the dark dimension and turned to leave the palace.
He silently passed through the palace walls, leaped into the night sky, his wings unfurled under the starlight, and soared straight into the clouds.
Outside Fraser's atmosphere, Zhi Xin hovered in the starry sky, silently waiting for Li Yao.
Seeing him fly over, she looked up and smiled sweetly: "Finished with your work?"
"Um."
Li Yao nodded, stopped beside her, and smiled, "Let's go back to Tiancheng."
He couldn't wait to tell his teacher and the Queen about today's discovery.
If this news were to be told, it would absolutely shock them.
Quantum engines are really great!
The two flapped their wings simultaneously, and two streaks of silvery-white light pierced through the silent sea of stars, speeding towards the Angel Galaxy.
The aquamarine planet Fraser shrank smaller and smaller behind them, soon being swallowed up by the boundless darkness.
