Crime Prison Island

Chapter 489: Resurrection of the Seahorse! (2)


Silver Hand's words made Gao Xin solemn.

Like Caesar? That would be... disastrous...

Caesar's soul had a defect; as a UR, he was never able to perceive high dimensions.

If his soul had a defect, wouldn't he also be stuck here?

Silver Hand said solemnly, "Kill me."

Gao Xin stared at him, nodded heavily, and suddenly swung his knife, sending the newly resurrected Silver Hand back to the Thought Palace.

"I'm very sorry, but it seems you can only live in my heart," Gao Xin said.

Silver Hand sneered, "I am originally your heart. Being able to walk the earthly world in a substitute form is already satisfying. I never had any desire for freedom."

Gao Xin pondered, "The so-called biological field from Cangyue, capable of creating life... isn't it actually just splitting oneself to create life?"

"No wonder, although Cangyue spread this saying, we've never heard of him actually creating anyone."

"If he could truly create, how could the Jiyi Army have such a small number of people?"

"Now I understand, this is equivalent to weakening oneself..."

Silver Hand sneered, "That's right, that's the limit of creation by biological fields. At its ultimate development, it might be like Pangu at most."

"Sacrificing oneself to evolve all things."

"But you're different, you can communicate with the Great Saint Spirit, which is an endless Soul Sea!"

Gao Xin sighed, shaking his head, "But how do you bring back the souls of the dead?"

"These seven days, I've been close to death three times, tried to drag them forcefully with Heart Power, but to no avail. It incited the Great Saint Spirit to devour me, and I was almost pulled away..."

"I also tried Heart Power as a knife to directly cut, heart-slashing souls. That also failed, instead provoking the Great Saint Spirit's backlash, which almost annihilated me."

"In the end, I attempted appeasement, sending my Heart Power into the Soul Sea, summoning the Seahorse, intending to call souls out by themselves..."

"That too failed, my Heart Power, like a clay ox entering the sea, vanished without a trace!"

Gao Xin felt helpless against the Great Saint Spirit, it's too powerful, truly sacred...

Like boundless light, an endless vast ocean.

All rivers eventually return to the sea, and Gao Xin, like an awakened fish, fighting upstream to return, is already a strong exception.

To pull other souls out is practically as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Silver Hand said, "Mouse, did you notice, when you draw on it, it draws on you, when you attack it, it attacks you."

"It has no life, or rather, no self-awareness, only a feedback instinct..."

Gao Xin nodded, "Indeed, if the Great Saint Spirit had self-awareness, wouldn't that be terrible?"

"It is the Universe's will, the Universe's instinct."

"And self-awareness is something that can only be possessed by degrading to a lower dimension and differentiating into sentient beings."

"Perhaps the so-called soul cycle is through differentiated small Holy Spirits, that is, us, experiencing the universe, constantly sending back information through death, and then accumulating these information and experiences, ultimately allowing the whole Great Saint Spirit collective to understand its own existence, thus giving birth to a Universe's self-awareness."

"And once formed, it's equivalent to the universe's embryo finally opening its eyes, being born."

"But this should take an unimaginably long time, perhaps until all creatures in the universe are extinct, it may not be formed."

Silver Hand said, "I know; what I'm trying to say is, whenever you use Heart Power, it returns in kind what you do to it."

"But why, when you use Heart Power for Summoning Seahorse, does it become like a clay ox entering the sea with no echo?"

Gao Xin frowned, "Because the Heart Power I sent out gets assimilated directly into the Soul Sea, becoming a part of it."

Silver Hand shook his head, "I'm not talking about that, I'm saying, why doesn't it learn from you in this aspect?"

"Shouldn't it be that it also emits a powerful Heart Power call, summoning, to control you to actively return to it?"

Gao Xin pondered, right, why indeed?

Soon he thought, "I get it, it actually is summoning souls every single moment."

"Anyone who dies, their soul will return to it willingly."

"Any previous times I approached death, I became muddled, instinctively drawn to the other shore to merge with it. I just managed to break free."

"Which means, this summoning call actually blankets the entire world."

"Suppose, if it truly resounded with a more powerful 'summon' that even I was compelled to return?"

"Then that force is likely enough to draw back all living souls..."

Thinking of this, Gao Xin felt a sudden sense of fear.

He almost led the Great Saint Spirit to recall all souls in the present world...

The Great Saint Spirit could definitely do it, but thankfully, it has mechanisms or instincts to restrain itself in this aspect.

The soul cycle system evolved over long ages is very complete, maintaining the intensity of continuous 'summoning' just enough, not randomly increasing.

It would rather overlook a loophole like Gao Xin than let the small Holy Spirits, who have yet to fully experience life, return prematurely.

Silver Hand said, "So the summoning-type Heart Power, it will release only that much, no matter how you provoke it, it will never respond with greater power in the 'Heart Power Call'."

Gao Xin quickly thought, "Understood, I'll try to summon with all my might!"

Earlier, Gao Xin had only tested casually, considering the previous near-destruction experience, he naturally controlled his strength.

But now discovering that, no matter how hard he sends Heart Power, the Great Saint Spirit won't respond with a stronger echo.

This indicates that summoning-type Heart Power is the only method he knows now without side effects, freely operable.

He will go all out and try again.

"Seahorse! Come back!"
