Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1128 The Origin, The True Form

Lu Li was held like an egg by the mechanical arm and slowly lowered onto the body on the pedestal.

At this moment, he felt extremely complicated, because the body below was indeed his younger self. According to the company's clear account, the body was collected and pieced together after the explosion, and then restored using advanced technology in later generations.

Lu Li felt that this body was exactly the same as his before he entered the space, and there was no sense that it was a replica.

For example, in the Dragon Ball world, Zamasu once wished for a body, and the Dragon Balls did indeed give Zamasu a body, but without anything like a spirit seed.

Although that body possessed many of Lu Li's characteristics, Lu Li could still sense some differences during their fight. Later, he studied Zamasu for many years and naturally knew that the body Zamasu had obtained was essentially a poor imitation with many flaws.

The corpse in front of Lu Li was different. Although in terms of energy level, it was only a first-tier physical body, this corpse perfectly replicated all the details of Lu Li, to the point that Lu Li himself could not tell the difference between the real and the fake.

When the mechanical arm lowered Lu Li down, the instant his essence touched the body, Lu Li felt a tremor in his heart. His senses seemed to be infinitely magnified at that moment, and he could clearly perceive every detail of the body.

In an instant, Lu Li was deeply shocked, because he felt that this body really was his own.

This is not only because the body is not harmed by its own source power, but also because, apart from Lu Li's own source accepting this body, the body is also calling upon his source, giving him a sense of peace as a wanderer returns home during the process of entering.

This is something a cloned body could never do!
Having gone through countless dangers, Lu Li's strength was already at the mid-stage of the ninth rank before he became like this. His eyesight and knowledge were much higher than during the Dragon Ball era. In addition, with more than a million years of accumulation, he had also exchanged various advanced knowledge with Lu Xueqing, which made him even more certain that the physical body in front of him was his own.

Even at the peak of the ninth rank, it would be impossible to replicate his perfect physical body using great magical power.

The definition of "perfect" is that it is exactly the same as the original, without any difference.

It's not difficult to replicate a person's body in this world; the power of the Super Dragon Balls can do it. But to replicate it flawlessly, exactly like the original, is quite difficult.

The body before him was only at a lower energy level, but Lu Lizhen felt that this was his own body, not some kind of copy.

Or is the power of space truly so magical?

But why did Space specifically create a copy of its body when it left the world, leaving this body within the world?
Lu Li racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only calm his mind and focus on merging with this body.

"My God! Boss Yi was right, this body really can accept a holy soul!"

"Rejection response is zero, all indicators are normal, and the body activation index is increasing!"

"Quickly, inject the nano-active robots to further stimulate their cellular activity and revitalize the dormant cells!"

"..."

The scientists outside watched the black holy soul merge with the body, their excitement palpable. All the indicators showed that the body was not only not corrupted by the holy soul, but was actually about to merge with it, becoming a new vessel for the holy soul.

They began injecting various active agents into the already dead body. In this age of advanced technology and medicine, reviving a dead body is not difficult; otherwise, the company would not have been able to complete the body.

They now hope to bring this soulless body to life and awaken the sacred soul within it, so that perhaps they can touch the truth of the world.

As for danger?
If these old lunatics were afraid of danger, they wouldn't be in this project team. From the very beginning, they knew about the various forms of the Holy Soul in legends, and that it was definitely an existence that could wield infinite power after being activated.

But if they were afraid of danger and didn't conduct research, then they wouldn't be like them. Besides, they believed that if they could activate the Holy Soul, they would be doing the Holy Soul a favor. Since the Holy Soul was named after the ancient word 'Holy,' it shouldn't be an entity that can't distinguish right from wrong.

At this moment, Lu Li's essence slowly sank into this body inside the cabin. When the mechanical arm released its grip, the last part of his essence also entered the body.

For the first time, Lu Li realized how important his physical body was to him. Perhaps it was because his first world was the God of Death, so he always paid great attention to the cultivation of his soul. Even without a physical body, his soul could still fight.

In the Dragon Ball world, he once taught Vegeta and others that they only focused on physical training but neglected the intensity of soul training. However, Lu Li forgot that since his soul form was not much weaker than his physical form, why should a person have both a soul and a body at the same time?

At that moment, he realized that the body and soul are always complementary and indispensable. Only a complete individual has the possibility of self-regeneration.

The moment the power entered his body, Lu Li felt his very essence begin to tremble. His true spirit was still essentially a jumbled mess, yet he felt he could control this body as if it were his own limb, because it was, after all, his 'remains'.

He felt his body gradually awaken under the cellular stimulation of the nanobots, and felt his heart and other organs begin to resume functioning. His body, which had been in a refrigerated environment for many years, gradually warmed up, the frost on the surface faded, condensed into water droplets, and then gradually turned into ethereal mist.

[WARNING! WARNING! The test subject is heating up rapidly!]

Suddenly, the lights in the laboratory turned red and a piercing alarm sounded.

[WARNING! Based on the Talma large model calculations and analysis, continuing the experiment will pose an extremely high risk. Please stop the experiment immediately and allow the experimental subject to cool down!]

The institute's intelligent butler shouted loudly and had already manipulated several silicon-based life forms serving the laboratory to approach the experimental table, ready to terminate the experiment at any time, waiting only for the authorized person present to give the final order.

However, all the scientists present stared with bloodshot eyes at the body in the test field that had begun to breathe and have a heartbeat, their eyes fixed on the rising data, and not one of them called to stop the experiment.

Not only that, another scientist tapped a few times on the control panel, "Inject him with another dose of adrenaline IV!"

The drug he was referring to was the company's latest potent drug, described as adrenaline, but it was actually just a tribute to drugs from the old era and was not adrenaline in essence.

The real effect of this drug is to comprehensively enhance the function of the body's organs, bringing the body into a state of extreme excitement. Theoretically, as long as the body still has a trace of activity, even if the soul has already disappeared, an injection of this drug can make a person jump around and run around randomly for several days.

Of course, there are side effects, namely, it can cause organ failure afterward. However, there are other medical technologies that can compensate for this organ failure, so this drug is considered a relatively perfect and potent medicine.

Sometimes, when these scientists work for years without rest or sleep and feel they are about to collapse, they will take an injection and immediately become lively and energetic again. Afterwards, they can use nutritional supplements to repair the damage to their organs.

[Warning: Mr. Moss's proposal is a Level 5 high-risk activity!]

The notification sounded again, but Mr. Moss pressed the confirm button on the control panel. Immediately afterwards, a stable robotic arm injected the drug into Lu Li's heart.

Lu Li felt as if his entire body was about to explode. A powerful life force spread from his heart to every part of his body. Bang—bang—bang—bang—bang—bang—bang bang bang…

The heartbeat started weakly, then grew stronger and stronger, the sound growing louder and louder until it was almost like a dense drumbeat playing inside the experimental chamber.

Under the excited gazes of the scientists, Lu Li's fingers moved first, and then his whole body began to tremble, as if coordinating the power that suddenly rose within him.

"Damn it, Moss, you were too reckless! He's not like he just died!"

Upon seeing this, Liu cursed, "He's got a blood clot!"

Other scientists also realized something was wrong. They had never experimented with such ancient materials before, so their empiricism had backfired, and they directly administered drastic measures to Lu Li.

But then they realized that this body had been dormant for over a million years, so its blood vessels could not possibly be unobstructed. Type IV adrenaline was naturally a potent drug, and it could also work on a recently deceased body. But the problem was that Lu Li's body had been dead for 1.23 million years. How could there not be any blockages in its blood vessels?

"Quickly inject him with a thrombolytic agent! Hurry, or his blood vessels will burst!"

Someone yelled.

But just as the scientist finished speaking, before he could put it into action, they saw Lu Li's blood vessels on the platform pulsate, with some of them swelling to a terrifying degree.

But the next moment, those blood vessels did not burst; instead, they slowly smoothed out.

"My God, he actually broke through the blood clot with his own strength! What is his blood vessel made of? How can it be so resilient?"

Some people exclaimed in surprise, realizing that they no longer needed to inject Lu Li with thrombolytic agents; the ancient body was reviving, truly exceeding their scientific understanding.

At this moment, a series of warning sounds filled the room, and the red lights were flashing incessantly.

Scientists don’t know the criteria Talma used to assess the risks in this matter, but they know they have no way out because there is only one Lu Li body, and this is a one-off experiment.

They have now fused the Holy Soul into it, but who knows how to perfectly separate the Holy Soul from Lu Li's body?

What if the experiment stops now, and the body stops functioning in the future? How will they pursue the truth after all their efforts have been in vain?

Furthermore, even if an accident were to occur in the laboratory today and they were to die here, they would have already prepared their 'backup' so that they could simply continue to live as silicon-based life forms.

In short, nothing could stop their desire to explore this extraordinary realm.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Li slowly opened his eyes—his eyes in the truest sense.

"call--"

As he exhaled his first breath, the scientists outside were practically ecstatic, eager to hug and kiss him, believing they had witnessed a historic moment.

On the other side of the experimental chamber, Lu Xueqing was also carefully observing Lu Li's condition. Seeing that Lu Li could really adapt to the body and regain his human form, she was happy for him.

Lu Li slowly sat up from the lab table, completely naked, seemingly unconcerned about the gazes of the scientists outside, and began to slowly move his arms and legs.

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."

Lu Li's voice was somewhat emotional, and when he spoke, the scientists outside were even more stunned.

"My God, the Holy Soul actually speaks an ancient Eastern language! Could it be that the Holy Soul originated from the East?!"

"Did Tianyu Company know this all along?! Are you still hiding it now?!"

"Could it be that the origin of civilization actually lies in the East, and all civilizations emerged from sinkholes?"

"The Holy Soul is indeed a highly sentient being; it is capable of communication! Perhaps we can now learn the truth about the world!"

"..."

The scientists chattered amongst themselves, completely ignoring Talma's alarm, and stared devoutly and frantically at the man who rose from the experimental chamber, like believers witnessing a miracle.

Lu Li turned his head and looked at the scientists outside. He roughly understood the standards for risk assessment in artificial intelligence. The resuscitation of a high-energy organism whose enemy and friend were unknown was certainly extremely risky.

He had no intention of harming these scientists today, since he wouldn't have been able to regain his physical body without their research.

Yes, after Lu Li completely merged into this body, he suddenly understood that this was his original body, not a copy, but the body he was born and raised in this world until adulthood!
So much time had passed that Lu Li had almost forgotten a detail about his entry into the End Space.

That was... his first mission world, the Grim Reaper.

From the very beginning, when he entered the mission world, he no longer had a physical body.

When he was young, he was short-sighted and could not understand many things. So he was still in the world of death, marveling at how magical the power of space was, which could simulate his physical body into a spiritual state without a physical body.

In reality, perhaps from that time onward, he was in a spiritual state, not a physical state, so he didn't seem out of place at all in the world of Bleach.

Lu Li mistakenly believed that he had a physical body because he felt that his body was no different from before, and he vaguely felt that he had two layers, so he believed that there was a physical body on the outside and a soul on the inside.

But in reality, this subconscious feeling with two layers might have come from other reasons.
