Chapter 454: Soul me [I]


    Edward focused on the knowledge of the Fourth Layer of the Soul Dimension. He took a moment to process the information before closing his eyes and essing his Soul Dimension.


    Without pause, he reached the Third Layer, the ce with the most defensive measure, guarding his knowledge and memories. Edward’s defense in his thirdyer can be described as overkill.


    There are numerous Space Legionsposed of thousands of battleships. Each battleship contained legions of golems. And this is just the first protective measure.


    If a person managed to bypass these measures, they would encounter an enormousbyrinth enchanted with magical traps and dangerous soul creatures.


    The third protective measure is the Corridor of Truths; it’s a long corridor where he asks intruders countless difficult questions and must answer before proceeding. If a person wants to get his memory, they must slowly pass this corridor.


    If they want to ess his memory and soul forcefully, the corridor will also turn into a death trap that blocks invaders.


    The fourth protective measure is a towering gate that blocks everything in its path. The gate is very resistant to soul energy, and Edward created it to make invaders of his mind waste soul strength and weaken them.


    The fifth measure is a library containing many of Edward’s memories and knowledge. However, the majority are false or iplete. If a person reaches this stage, they must see through this level before going to the next step.


    The sixth measure is an encryptedputer. If an invader wishes to bypass this level, they must have the password to thisputer. However, the password is an algorithm that only Edward knows.


    The password changes every 30 seconds, and he must use the algorithm to deduce the password.


    Finally, if a person wishes to truly ess his memory and knowledge, they must hack thisputer. However, Morgana controls thisputer, so they must fight against herputing power to seed.


    And even if a person could seed, Morgana has plenty of time to erase and move all knowledge on theputer to her server, leaving nothing to the invader.


    As such, although it’s not impossible to get information from Edward’s soul, it’s a pretty daunting task.


    He used countless resources and crafted plenty of unique Soul Treasures to protect his Soul Dimension.


    As the owner of this space, Edward appeared in thest room with theputer. He looked around before muttering:


    “It’s been a while since I added more security measures. With new knowledge on the Fourth Layer, I can add a few more.”


    He waved his hand, and theputer room turned into an immense library. Edward looked at the physical manifestation of his knowledge and smiled. This room was his greatest and most precious treasure.


    The knowledge in this ce could create a brilliant Arcane Civilization and train a Legendary Arcanist.


    Edward took a moment to admire his library like a dragon sleeping on its treasure horde.


    After nodding in satisfaction, he continued on his purpose foring here. He cast a spell, and adder appeared out of nowhere. Without hesitation, he climbed on it, leading to a vast empty white space.


    “In my past life, I once read that human beings are all Gods, and the mind/soul is the key to developing that Godhood. After seeing this space, I understood that saying was correct.”


    All creatures with a soul have a Soul Dimension. And in that dimension, they have absolute power–like a God. The Soul Dimension is vast, full of unknown and mystery. Even with his current strength and knowledge, he feels he has only uncovered a fraction of its mystery.


    Aftermenting the wonder of life, Edward continued his spell. Thedder under his feet followed a special summon and headed in a specific direction. In the process, Edward saw endless white space.


    The voyage felt like eons had passed. And in some ways, it had. The secrets of the fourthyer were hidden very deep and required special means and a long time to discover. Locally, time is different in this space, and he does not technically age.


    Soon, Edward reached his destination and saw what he was after–a purple me with a tinge of silver in the middle. The me was the size of a basketball and floated about 30 cm above the white ground.


    “Is this the Soul me? The true essence of the soul” muttered Edward. He looked at this small me in fascination, thinking about the information his future self had gathered.


    The most important was the Soul me was the leading cause for the Soul Limit of the Empire’s citizens. ording to the information in the crystal, the weakest Soul me is white. However, only clones and ordinary animals will have this color.


    Ordinary people or muggles have green Soul me, ranging from light green to deep green. Finally, after acquiring magical powers, or any other systems, the Soul me will turn Blue.


    The blue me will also range from light blue to deep blue. And Deep Blue Soul me is enough for someone to reach Tier 7. Then, they will reach the Soul Limit.


    ording to the research, Future Edward theorized that even the most talented individual would only have Deep Blue Soul me–except creatures like the High Elves and Dragons.


    The minimum level of these creatures’ Soul me is Purple, and the highest level is Golden.


    Future Edward did some experiments and discovered Divine Energy and World Source could turn a Deep Blue Soul me into purple, allowing Arcanists to reach Tier 8. However, if they want to truly break the limit of the soul and reach Tier 9, the soul has to reach light Golden.


    Deep Golden Soul me is currently the highest level known, and essentially to reach Tier 10–and maybe Tier 11.


    “Divine Energyes from the Gods, and World Source involves nes and other universes. The Empire needs a lessplicated way to achieve Purple and Golden Soul me.”


    Edward would need to kill more Gods to acquire Divine Energy. Or he has to use his project of cultivating False Gods to acquire more Divine Energy.


    Meanwhile, World Source would require him to invade other nes back home or take them from other Universes like Naruto. None of these methods are applicable to arge poption.


    So, if he wants higher Tiers to be moremon, he needs a better method of increasing the level of the Soul me.


    ‘Unfortunately, it’s not something future me can study in a short time period,’ thought Edward before shaking his head. He then focused on the other things he learned about the Soul me.


    After a person’s soul is destroyed, their Soul me remains intact for a period of time based on their Tier. For a Tier 8 like himself, his Soul me will continue burning for at least 7 days after his death.


    And based on Future Edward’s research, a person can be revived through their Soul me.


    The Soul me contained information about the soul. By gathering this information and feeding it enough energy, a new and intact soul can be reborn or recreated.


    Simultaneously, the soul is also linked to the Soul me. In one of the experiments, Future Edward removed a subject’s soul and ced it in another body.


    The new body–which was an empty shell–slowly developed a Soul Dimension, followed by a new Soul me identical to the previous body. Furthermore, the old body’s Soul me disappeared after the new one appeared.


    “The Empire has taken another step to conquer death,” muttered Edward. Previously, the Empire would have soldiers save a piece of their souls to revive them. However, some people could not be saved because of Guzznad’s Death Authority.


    There was no reasonable exnation for this phenomenon. However, Edward now understood this was the result of the Soul me being affected. With the current technology, this issue will be solved–or, at the very least, the death rate will drastically decrease.
