Chapter 589 Heart Energy!
As soul masters, the two brothers Lorien and Narmoul once had the right to distribute all mortal souls. They were extremely prosperous at the time, but they also attracted the dissatisfaction of many gods.
Now, not only have the two brothers lost the ability to harvest mortal souls, Lorien has also lost his dream priesthood. Naturally, don't blame other Valar for coming to take revenge.
However, Xiao ignored Lorien's plea for mercy and continued to divide and seize the Dreamland priesthood on his own.
The priesthood is different from the law. It does not contain any personal will, but is a power condensed by pure world laws.
The priesthood does not belong to any one god, but to the world itself.
The Valar came out through the joint election (faith) of the Son of the Creator God, and the world gave them this position, allowing them to exercise power on behalf of heaven.
Therefore, Xiao can safely absorb and understand the laws of these priesthoods and transform them into his own laws, without worrying about any backhand.
…
…
The extraction of the Dreamland priesthood brought unbearable pain to Lorien, as if he had been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
His wailing and screaming continued for a day and a night until the torture was over.
When Shaw received the priesthood, he did not hesitate to throw Lorien into the hell of Hades, and continued to ruthlessly squeeze his soul and the emotional power from his soul with various tortures.
In the process of merging with nightmares, Xiao deeply realized the power of emotions.
An existence as powerful as the black dragon was also manipulated by the nightmare under the charm and spiritual soothing of the nightmare.
The power of emotions obviously has greater potential that can be tapped. After Xiao repeatedly analyzed and dug into it, he mastered the power of extracting messy emotions.
This kind of pure energy, born out of the power of emotions, has extremely high use value. It can easily affect the emotions of all living beings like the Supreme Ring.
And he can impose his own thoughts on a certain creature's mind, but the other person will not think there is any problem. It is a bit similar to other gods, but not as overbearing.
So, he gave this strange energy a nice name: Anima, the energy collected from the heart.
Moreover, the power of anima does not stop there, it can not only be used to nourish the injured soul and extend the life of the soul.
It can also turn the void into reality and construct real objects that belong to the soul. The things that can be created with the heart can be touched by dead ghosts and souls as if they were real objects.
Even when the dead use anima, they can feel everything in the world just like living people and regain all kinds of stimulating emotions. This alone makes all the undead in the underworld flock to anima.
The existence of anima is the ability to build heaven. Unfortunately, anima is not easily obtained. Anima can only be extracted from the souls of living beings.
It originates from the experiences and activities of the soul during life. Only those souls with rich experiences and strong emotions during life (whether good or bad) will produce more anima, while those with more simple lives will have less.
Therefore, it has become a precious and rare resource. In order to obtain more anima, Xiao no longer directly kills the souls of evil people and turns them into nutrients.
Instead, a hell was built in the underworld and thrown into hell to endure tribulations. As long as they experienced many hardships and redeemed all their sins, they could escape from hell, stay in paradise, or be reincarnated as human beings in the world.
In order to give those evil people a hope and prevent them from complete mental breakdown,
Xiao usually lets them enjoy paradise for three days before throwing them into hell, and then throws them into hell to atone for their sins.
Lorien suffered endless torture in hell, and his soul was twisted in pain, but all of this was ignored by Xiao, and he could just leave this kind of thing to the people below.
At this moment, Xiao was engrossed in the research and analysis of Lorien's dream priesthood.
As time went by, Xiao gradually unveiled the mystery of the Dream Priesthood, and his Dream Law was greatly improved as a result.
A few years later, Xiao relied on the power of the Dream Priest to successfully condense a new Dream Soul, which marked a major breakthrough for him in the dream field.
As for the old version of the dream priesthood, Xiao turned it into part of the law and gave it to Alduin to take charge of.
The elder brother became the God of Death, and the younger brother became the God of Sleep. It was obviously a matter of course.
At the same time, through in-depth analysis of the dream priesthood, Xiao's Law of All Machines has also gained new development.
The seventh law crystal was quietly born, making the long-distance calculation and mechanical abilities of the Law of All Machines more powerful, especially the harvested soul knowledge, which further increased the application of mental energy.
In Xiao's perception, the form of the Law of All Machines is getting closer and closer to the legendary way of heaven.
This is the terrifying thing about the Law of All Machines. No matter what kind of bizarre power characteristics it is, as long as Xiao can master it, he will be able to analyze the fundamental principles and transform it into complete data.
And these complete data can be compiled into practice exercises with just a little bit of sorting, and full-scale mass production can be quickly achieved.
But in fact, the growth of Wanji Law does not rely on computing power and analytical ability, but on the continuous absorption and accumulation of various data and knowledge.
Only in this way can we continue to move towards the goal of omniscience and omnipotence, which is why progress is still slow after so many years.
You should know that the Myriad Laws are the cornerstone of the entire cyber cultivation system, and there are billions of cultivators practicing them. However, in fact, the underlying data alone has little effect on the Myriad Laws.
Only a few cultivators can promote the growth of the Myriad Laws, because to achieve omniscience and omnipotence, it requires not only quantity, but also the accumulation of depth and breadth.
Just like the last sermon, the Yuanying-level cultivators simply practiced the magical powers derived from the Myriad Laws, which made the Myriad Laws grow a lot.
It depends on the powerful computing power and data models of the Yuanying cultivators and the Huashen cultivators.
……
……
Xiao's main body stayed in the world of the Lord of the Rings to guard the underworld and prevent the conspiracy of the Valar, but Xiao's journey did not stop.
In the world of the Elden Ring, Wu Meiniang, incarnated as the Queen of Night Eyes, came to this world again, and with her came the generals and officials from the Tang Dynasty.
With the Xiao family's purge of the nobles last time, Wu Meiniang had to introduce a series of officials who were placed under double supervision, such as Gao Yuliang, into the Sequence 2 world.
Under the governance of these modern officials, it is not an exaggeration to say that the construction of the Tang Dynasty is changing with each passing day.
However, Li Shimin still has his own troubles, that is, he is stuck in the Jindan realm and dares not move forward.
