On the brink of death, Gao Xin's consciousness touched the figures on the riverbank across the misty horizon.

He exerted all his strength and sent the greatest psychic scream of his life to the Soul Sea.

This might also be the greatest 'sound' ever echoed in the Soul Sea in human history.

In an instant, Gao Xin felt that the endless collective of souls was boiling.

Gao Xin's mind buzzed as he sensed information about the lives of billions of people named 'Seahorse' flooding towards him.

From the time humans had names, all the Seahorses throughout history... were summoned.

Gao Xin stood firm in the great river, seeing the densely packed figures on the other side...

He saw Seahorse Nato, the one he intended to bring back to the present world.

But as soon as he touched him, Gao Xin's consciousness was instantly blurred.

The psychic scream, which he had sent out with all his heart, almost melted his mind and was the maximum intensity of Heart Power he could produce.

At this moment, he was extremely weak and felt the imagery of plains, mountains, and rivers twisting and shattering.

The river water was infinitely wide, forming a vortex and about to swallow him.

Gao Xin used the last bit of sanity to release his grip and returned to the Thought Palace, thus breaking free.

"Huff..."

"Mouse, how are you?"

"Almost returned... I'm fine, I just need to sleep for a while."

Gao Xin woke up in the present world, weakly lay down, and slept for a while before Meimei.

The next day when he woke up, he was invigorated!

His consciousness sank into the Thought Palace: "There's some effect, but not much. I only found Seahorse's soul, but he can't come back."

"This is actually the same as before. I touched him, but couldn't pull him, at most siphon off some memories from him."

"Everything circles back again."

Silver Hand said: "Mouse, Heart Power in the World of Metaphysics is omnipotent; even summoning has some effect, truly a 'thought becomes reality' sort of thing."

"However, the boundary between life and death cannot be crossed with your power alone."

"But... the Great Saint Spirit can."

Gao Xin's eyes flashed: "Yes, the Great Saint Spirit is the only known existence that can send souls to the present world."

"I see what you mean, you want me to... deceive Him! Make the Great Saint Spirit itself let go of Seahorse's soul?"

Gao Xin's mind raced, once this thought arose, it was hard to restrain.

Logically, this is the only feasible method.

Sending the soul across, this feat has only been accomplished by the Great Saint Spirit in history.

Therefore, this task must still be done by the Great Saint Spirit, and as the Great Saint Spirit has no self-awareness, theoretically, it can be exploited.

Of course, direct commands won't work, just now Gao Xin called for Seahorse to return, the summoning type of Heart Power's effect naturally included the content of bringing the soul over.

But the Great Saint Spirit only did it halfway.

So, deception is the only way, tricking the Great Saint Spirit into thinking Seahorse isn't dead yet.

So Gao Xin began to frequently attempt to communicate with the Great Saint Spirit, sending echoes with super-powered Heart Power.

Various coaxing tactics...

Direct fraud, intimidation and bribery, spreading rumors, whispering, subtle influence...

Gao Xin employed every method, used every rhetoric, but the Great Saint Spirit remained unmoved; the boundary between life and death cannot be crossed!

"Tsk! It's impervious to oil and salt!"

Gao Xin lived and slept deeply every day, leaving some companions perplexed.

Milan visited twice, asking when to trigger the jailbreak, but Gao Xin dismissively dealt with them.

Now he was addicted to researching this, unwilling to stop until he had tried every idea in his mind.

"Silver Hand, any methods not yet used?"

"Hypnosis..."

"Hypnosis?"

Gao Xin was startled: "I've done so much, isn't it considered hypnotizing Him?"

"And besides, doesn't the Great Saint Spirit itself lack self-awareness, isn't it already in a 'sleep' state?"

Silver Hand said: "Exactly because He is in a sleep state and can absorb your Heart Power information that makes it more susceptible to hypnosis."

"What you did before was more like 'brainwashing', continuously sending some Heart Power information intending to make Him believe."

"Facts prove that the Great Saint Spirit cannot be brainwashed."

Gao Xin nodded; the Great Saint Spirit was receiving the entirety of deceased life information all the time, how could it be brainwashed? Or rather, it was constantly being brainwashed by the life experiences of countless people.

"I understand, what you mean by hypnosis is to use some images or sounds to stir His nerves, affecting His thinking mechanisms."

"But how is that possible? He has no brain... Hypnosis essentially exploits the flaws of the human brain."

"How could the human hypnosis method work on the Great Saint Spirit?"

Silver Hand shrugged: "I'm just saying, you can try. Having absorbed countless human consciousness, maybe He has human flaws too, susceptible to the hypnosis images as well..."

Gao Xin felt this was absurd, but still decided to try.

He asked Xiao Yuan to transmit a vast amount of hypnosis knowledge and generate various hypnosis patterns for him, compressing them into a data stream.

Gao Xin couldn't do this task, but Xiao Yuan could, and Gao Xin only needed to record it and then convert it to Heart Power to send.

"The effect is simple, just make the other party believe 'Seahorse Nato's soul was taken by mistake, it should not die yet, it should be sent back to his body in the present world.'

Xiao Yuan said: "Okay... done..."

This was truly simple, it didn't even take a fraction of a second to complete.

Gao Xin received it, yet it was an extremely complex piece of information, in an instant, even he believed it.

However, Gao Xin's Heart Power trembled, and these thoughts immediately subsided.

For someone in control of Heart Power like him, he couldn't be hypnotized.

So theoretically, neither could the Great Saint Spirit, but the Great Saint Spirit had no self-awareness, would it actively 'maintain itself'? Or directly accept?

Gao Xin didn't know, he could only try it out.

"Boom!"

He sent a huge amount of psychic hypnosis information at full power to the Soul Sea.

In the world of boundless light imagery, the densely packed human figures twisted, transforming into various indescribable geometric patterns, repeatedly breaking into kaleidoscopic fragments, twisting and spinning.

It was as if a giant pendulum was attempting to hypnotize the universe's greatest will entity.

"Wrong... error... error..."

"Alive... alive..."

"Return... return..."

Gao Xin was extremely weak, his mind once again on the brink of melting.

But he noticed that among the countless summoned 'Seahorse' figures, the young man named Nato disappeared.

Gao Xin was greatly shaken, disregarding rest, immediately returning to the present world.

"Mouse, you need to sleep!" Silver Hand reminded.

Gao Xin jumped out of bed and ran like the wind: "I did it! I did it!"

He rushed to a room in the laboratory, where a body lay, Seahorse.

It was something Gao Xin had prepared a long time ago; it cost him a third of his Silver Tower Energy, but Gao Xin felt it was worth it.

Unfortunately, seeing Seahorse still lying quietly, Gao Xin felt a bit disappointed.

"Did I fail? Then where did his soul go? Did it reincarnate?"

Gao Xin closed his eyes groggily, unable to resist, he needed sleep.

Suddenly his head drooped and he fell to the side.

But just as he was about to fall to the ground, a hand caught him.

"Tai Sui... where is this? What happened to you?"

Seahorse was holding Gao Xin, looking bewildered.

He remembered exploding, then wandering vaguely as if he slept, waking up to see Gao Xin collapsing.

Seahorse shook Gao Xin gently, seeing him seemingly utterly exhausted, he decided not to disturb him further.

He looked around, nakedly carrying Tai Sui, and walked out of the laboratory.
