Chapter 889: Primal souls



"Who said they are conscious?" Evergreen's avatar within Robin's soul domain appeared beside him, laughing, "Do you think the souls of the Great Serpent Empire's soldiers and the True Beginning Empire's soldiers would play and fool around like this if they remembered anything?"

"Then what is going on...?" Robin slightly furrowed his brows.

"This is how all pure, primal souls behave in nature. After leaving the body and destroying their original consciousness, all souls become equal and roam freely. They now cannot access any of their old memories, and most of those memories have also been irretrievably lost along with their original consciousness. Instead, they have a simple consciousness derived from nature. You could say that they are like one-year-old children now."

Evergreen stepped forward and patted one of the orbs, "But this period in the life of the free primal souls does not last long. These souls have three paths to take: The first is to reach a place where negative energy is condensed accidentally, and they will be contaminated by it, and some of them may turn into evil wraiths. The second is to interfere with places where positive energy is abundant, and their lives will be extended for several hundred years, and they will spread more joy in that spot. The third is to remain wandering in the same form you see until they completely disintegrate in several dozen years, or until a powerful soul master absorbs them, and they will start a new life cycle within his soul domain."

"Their consciousness disappeared, along with it their memories?!" This complicates Robin's thinking, he thought he could gather information like he did with Hoffenheim.

Evergreen understood him immediately, "Most of them are gone yes, but the stronger a person is before they die, the more memories their soul will be able to retain and you can access them if you dig deep enough, although I don't recommend it as they will most likely be torn apart and useless, if you want information it's best to find ways to interrogate the living. Oh, what you can get from them for sure are the laws, those primal souls retain an imprint of the laws the deceased was cultivating until the soul disappears completely."

Then she looked at him with a big smile on her face that reached from ear to ear.

"What?!" Robin asked hurridly, The girl's look was suspicious.

"Why did you decide to absorb all those souls all of a sudden?" Evergreen continued her big smile

"..." Robin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he at least understood why she was laughing.

Juri told him not to use this technique again, while she told him to use it and find solutions to its problems if any appeared... Since he used it and absorbed this large amount of souls, it means that she won!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Then he noticeably saw the place where the Primal Soul energy landed harden and become stronger, he noticed that his own avatar was now more visible, and most importantly, he noticed a small seed taking up space in his soul domain, most likely a seed similar to the one that the soul creature Hoffenheim emerged from!

The force that forms the primal souls is much purer and denser than the normal units he gets from the Soul soul-strengthening Technique, "...I only increased 7 soul units?" Robin opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "I don't remember exactly how much I got from Hoffenheim because I didn't know about soul units at the time, but I definitely increased hundreds of units then!"

To Robin, the 7 units he took from a proper primal soul like this were better than 70 units of the normal soul force hovering in the atmosphere, as their quality was much higher and they could provide him with more force than 70 units when used... However, 7 units were much less than he expected!

"What were you waiting for? He's just a soldier in the Saint Realm who is around 400 years old." Evergreen laughed next to him

"...But the difference is that big?" Robin looked back at the orbs, they were still playing in front of him, not caring about what had just happened to their companion, their size not much different from the size of Hoffenheim's primal soul when he harvested it.

"The strength of a primal soul is determined by many criteria, including the strength of a person during his lifetime, how many years he lived and how he spent his years, his experiences, the laws he cultivated in and many other criteria." Evergreen then looked at Robin, "Hoffenheim's primal soul is very strong due to his long life span, he has lived for over two million years! I can say that your primal soul is slightly stronger than his, and that is for one reason, which is that you have the Master Law of Truth and the Master Law of Spacetime. But I believe that it will become stronger with time, a strong primal soul provides you with

many advantages!"

"Like what?" Robin asked curiously

"Not now, you have something to do here..." Evergreen laughed and pointed towards the ten thousand primal souls.

"...That will take a long time." Robin scratched his head and looked back at all those primal souls, if he continued at this pace he might continue to sit on that nest for another six

months, "...."

"...I will try something."
