Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 195: Spirit Casting Clan

"Soul Editor?"

"A brand new extraordinary system?"

After Solaus finished speaking, a wave of shock surged in the hearts of everyone present.

A brand-new extraordinary system has considerable value even within the entire Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance.

There are thousands of different civilizations in the entire Alliance of All Spirits, and the extraordinary systems within them are also diverse.

Every civilization has at least five mature supernatural systems to ensure the stability of the upward channel within the civilization.

Even if there is some overlap, the extraordinary systems of thousands of civilizations added together is a considerable number.

However, these extraordinary systems were basically gifts from gods in the beginning, and were not created by the major civilizations themselves.

The extraordinary systems created by the major civilizations themselves are very rare within the entire Alliance of All Spirits.

Moreover, these extraordinary systems created by the major civilizations themselves generally develop well, and some are even the mainstream systems of the entire All-Spirit Alliance.

For example, the extraordinary profession of Divine Weapon Master is not only one of the mainstream extraordinary systems in the Dawn Empire and the Thousand Furnaces Federation, but also a popular extraordinary profession in other civilizations.

It would be quite remarkable if Soul Editors could become the mainstream supernatural system of the entire Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance like the Divine Weapon Masters.

"Master Thoraus, is this the effect of the chip we created this time?"

In front of Thoraus, a forging master took the initiative to ask.

It is not an easy task to create a corresponding soul simulation device based on some theoretical ideas.

Solaus himself knew nothing about the field of forging, and the ideas he proposed would not provide them with any additional hints or information.

Even so, they can still rely on extremely advanced forging technology.

Create the soul simulation device that only exists in theory exactly.

However, this also consumes a lot of energy of these forging masters and even grandmasters.

Every idea proposed by Solaus is also a test for them.

Ten years have passed, and they themselves can hardly remember how many times they have failed.

Now that they have finally seen the effects of the soul simulation device they created, they are also delighted from the bottom of their hearts.

But they didn't expect that this chip actually represented a brand new extraordinary system.

"Yes."

Thoraus nodded, then continued to explain: "The effect of this chip is very simple."

“It’s like a signal receiver that can receive information from the soul and present this information in another form into reality.”

"Through this chip, our souls can directly influence reality."

Having said that, Thoraus raised his hand slightly, and a ball of flame emerged from his hand, emitting scorching heat.

This is not the end. He then displayed all the natural elements between heaven and earth, such as strong winds, lightning, and water flows, one by one.

Everyone around was surprised when they saw this scene.

"Can such an effect be achieved with just a chip?"

The forging master spoke again, although they had spent a lot of energy in making the chip.

However, the difficulty and cost of making such a chip are actually not that high.

If it is indeed effective and can be confirmed for production, it won’t be long before they can implant such a chip in all the people without light.

Production within the Ten Thousand Furnaces Federation does not rely entirely on manpower.

The automated production line has long formed a complete system within the Wanqian Furnace Federation.

Even some extraordinary-level equipment can be automated and mass-produced.

However, compared with specially customized equipment, the performance of automatically produced equipment is worse in all aspects.

Once they design such chips, they can be directly put into the automated production line.

If every chip has such an effect, it would be a bit too exaggerated.

Although the many methods that Solaus just demonstrated are still a little lacking compared to those of a true transcendent.

But compared with ordinary people, it is a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

What's more, Thoraus can display those methods at will, and he seems to be in control of them with ease.

Then the strongest power he can unleash must be far beyond the strength he just demonstrated.

"That's not so exaggerated."

Thoraus shook his head. "Like I said, this chip is essentially a signal receiver."

"The specific impact you can have on reality actually depends on the strength of your own soul."

"I can achieve such an effect because my soul strength has surpassed even many extraordinary people to a certain extent."

"Plus, I have a sufficient understanding of the nature of those elements, so I can manipulate them at will like those elemental mages."

"But the souls of ordinary Lightless People cannot possibly possess the strength that I possess."

"Their understanding of the elements is also at a very superficial level, and they can't directly manipulate them to achieve the same effects as I can."

When the others heard this, they all nodded: "So that's how it is."

If the effect of a chip is so amazing, then the extraordinary people from other systems have no time to bother.

The methods possessed by the extraordinary people in the soul system have always been a bit strange, so it is not surprising that they can control elements.

But compared to real elemental mages, the extraordinary people in the soul system still have some additional restrictions when manipulating elements, and it is not that convenient.

After all, an elemental mage only needs to have sufficient affinity with the elements and use fixed spells to control the corresponding elements.

As your proficiency increases, you can even skip the spell step.

However, if Thoraus wants to control the elements, he needs to have sufficient knowledge of the elements themselves. The difficulty of the two is completely on a different level.

"Although you can't achieve this effect directly, you can do so after editing it accordingly."

"You can also freely control the many elements between heaven and earth, and even have more means."

As soon as Thoraus finished speaking, someone spoke again.

"Edit, do you mean edit the chip?"

"Yes."

Thoraus nodded. "I got the inspiration for this chip from the information about the Omnics."

"Its role is more than just a signal receiver."

"The chip in my body is just its initial state."

"After some subsequent editing, there's no need for any specific knowledge of elements or anything else."

"After loading the corresponding modules into the chip, you only need to consume soul power to perform the corresponding methods."

"Just like the spells in the magic system, each corresponding module is equivalent to a constant spell that can have a certain impact on reality through the soul at any time."

After hearing what Solaus said, everyone around him took a deep breath.

Except for the surrounding people without light who have no idea about it, everyone else knows what it means.

After all, they are all extraordinary people and are not unfamiliar with the extraordinary field.

If the so-called soul editor can really achieve this level.

Then this new extraordinary system can be called one of the strongest extraordinary systems.

"Of course, these modules cannot be loaded infinitely."

"Each module will place a certain load on the soul, and the number of modules that can be loaded is limited."

"As your soul strength increases, the upper limit of the number and strength of modules will be increased accordingly."

"If my current soul strength is based on the standards of the Soul System's Transcendents, it would probably only be around the strength of a second-order Transcendent."

"There are only about seven modules that can be loaded, and the strength of these modules is basically no more than that of a normal second-level transcendent."

Hearing what Solaus said, everyone around him inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even so, it's a huge exaggeration."

Based on what Solaus described, if it can really be achieved, Soul Editor will still be one of the top extraordinary systems.

Being able to edit modules at will and load them into the chip, the soul editor's skills can be said to be almost omnipotent.

Every soul editor can choose a different development direction, and an extraordinary system encompasses the means of most extraordinary systems.

Thoraus nodded, then looked at the many scholars of the Lightless People present.

"It will take time to see how far Soul Editors can progress."

"I only have some related assumptions. I can't be sure of the future of Soul Editors."

"For us, the people of the Dark World, the most important thing is that this chip can indeed improve our situation to a great extent."

The two major dilemmas faced by the people without light.

As long as one of the problems of a broken soul and the lack of the light of hope can be solved, the situation of the people without light can be significantly improved.

If the soul is not incomplete, even if it is born without a part of the light of hope, it will only have a certain impact on one's own character.

It won't directly destroy the future of all the people without light.

If the light of hope remains intact, even if they have to face the plight of a broken soul, all the people without light will only work harder to find a way out, rather than giving up on themselves.

It was precisely because of these two difficulties combined that the dilemma faced by the people of No Light turned into a dead end.

If there had not been the birth of a special individual like Thoraus, the people of the Darkness would have been trapped forever and unable to escape.

Fortunately, with the advent of chips, the plight of the people without light that has lasted for hundreds of years can finally be improved to a certain extent.

"With this chip, our souls have reached a relatively complete state."

"Although there are still certain limitations, at least it won't be as exaggerated as before. I won't feel a sharp pain in my soul just by concentrating a little bit."

"As long as they don't exceed a certain threshold, every citizen of the Dark Realm can lead a completely normal life."

"This effect is roughly equivalent to the requiem potion becoming a permanent state."

"Besides this, there is also the issue of the lack of the light of hope for us, the lightless people."

"This isn't a big deal, actually. It's not a loss of soul. It's a backlash from the rules, which has turned into an innate loss."

"The loss of the Light of Hope is simply the result of the God of Light deceiving His followers. It's not an irreparable tragedy in itself."

"The situation of the Lightless People was truly hopeless. They had no hope to begin with, and the lack of the Light of Hope was the reason they never recovered for hundreds of years."

"But with the advent of the chip, all the people without light can now live a somewhat normal life."

"Plus, our souls have reached a relatively complete state. We can also practice like normal people and increase our soul strength."

"This is a stable path to advancement. Every Lightless Citizen can become a Soul Editor and master many extraordinary powers far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

"Hope has reappeared among the Lightless People."

"As time goes by, the light of hope lost by the people without light will eventually be replenished."

"At that point, the only problem we'll have is our broken souls."

"This isn't even a problem. After all, we can transplant chips, allowing every Lightless Citizen to have the potential to become a Soul Editor."

"This is because our souls are in a broken state."

"If the soul is restored to its original state, then we, the people of the Darkness, will be no different from ordinary people, and naturally, we won't be able to transplant the chip."

"Trading a certain amount of pain for a talent far superior to that of an average person, I don't think it's a bad deal."

"In a sense, the future people of the Darkness can completely regard the pain caused by the incomplete soul as the price they must pay for editing their souls."

After Thoraus finished speaking, everyone present nodded in approval.

The people of the Darkness have long been accustomed to being in such a low point, and now they can not only reduce the pain they suffer.

They also have a stable path to advancement and a brand new future lies before them, which is what they have always wanted.

Even if you just think about it from an ordinary person's perspective, you can edit your own soul at a certain cost.

Possessing extraordinary powers that ordinary people cannot understand is not something that is absolutely unacceptable.

Of course, the most important thing is that the people without light do not have that many choices.

Being able to significantly improve your situation is already the best outcome.

"Then we'll confirm the effectiveness of the chip and whether there are any additional hidden dangers."

"After confirming that there are no problems, we can prepare to transplant all the people without light."

In the 220th year of the Wanling Calendar, news came from the Wanqian Furnace Federation.

They worked together with Master Thoraus, who was born into the People of No Light, to develop a soul chip that could improve the plight of the People of No Light.

News about the new extraordinary system and soul editor was also spread, causing a sensation in the entire world of all spirits.

It was also in this year that the Council of All Souls was held on time.

The Ten Thousand Furnaces Federation also raised a related issue during the Ten Thousand Souls Council, aiming to fully popularize soul chips among the people of the Darkness.

This issue was affirmed by the Dawn Empire, and other civilizations also had no objections.

The manufacturing drawings of the soul chip were unconditionally announced by the Ten Thousand Furnaces Federation, and all major civilizations were manufacturing soul chips at the fastest speed.

In the 222nd year of the Wanling Calendar, soul chips were fully popularized, and all the people without light were freed from the predicament that had made them feel desperate.

Although still troubled by the loss of soul, the light of hope will take a long time to gradually recover.

In a short period of time, it is still difficult for all the people without light to develop much interest in various things.

But at least they can live a slightly normal life.

Moreover, after the soul chip is transplanted, their own talents will not undergo any additional changes.

But every adult of the Dark People can load at least one module into the soul chip between their eyebrows, which can be regarded as a kind of extra compensation.

After reaching adulthood, every person without light can master at least one special skill that ordinary people cannot possess. This is something that ordinary people in various civilizations envy.

From now on, the People of No Light are no longer a burden to the Alliance of All Spirits and can fully join in the development of the Alliance of All Spirits.

With the participation of hundreds of billions of people without light, the development speed of the entire Ten Thousand Spirits Realm has also been improved to a certain extent, and everything is gradually getting better.

In the 225th year of the Wanling Calendar, the Lightless People officially changed their name to the Spirit Casting Clan.

Under the Spirit Casting Clan, there are many different branches, including humans, beastmen, elves, etc.

The innate defect of the soul is the biggest common point of all the Spirit Casting people, and it is also their biggest characteristic.

The incomplete soul that once troubled them for hundreds of years is now a guarantee that they can freely edit their souls.

The soul chip is not just a soul simulation device, it is also a part of their soul.

The edits made to the soul chip will also affect their soul body.

That is why Thoraus calls him a soul editor rather than a soul chip editor.

As a newly born extraordinary system, the Soul Editor does not yet have a mature growth path.

All soul editors, including Solaus, can only keep groping in the dark in order to broaden the direction of progress for all soul editors.

However, among the hundreds of billions of Soul Casting Clan, each one is actually a soul editor.

Under the influence of this huge driving force, the development of the entire soul editor system is also very rapid.

Every moment, a large number of Soul Casters successfully break through and become extraordinary soul editors.

In the 230th year of the Wanling Calendar, the number of extraordinary soul editors in the entire Wanling Realm exceeded million.

This number of extraordinary people has exceeded the number of extraordinary people possessed by most civilizations within the Alliance of All Spirits.

Of course, compared with the total population of the Spirit Casting Clan, this number of extraordinary people is nothing.

But before the Soulcast Clan escaped from their predicament, there wasn't even a single Extraordinary person among all the Lightless People.

In just less than ten years, the number of extraordinary people in the Spirit Casting Clan has reached this level.

All signs indicate that the massive amount of resources previously spent by the Alliance of All Spirits to unconditionally feed all the people of No Light was completely worth it.

After the number of extraordinary people exceeded 100 million, the development of the Lingzhu clan did not reach a bottleneck, and it still maintained a blowout and high-speed development trend.

In the 240th year of the Wanling Calendar, the number of extraordinary soul editors exceeded one billion.

At this point, the population base of the Lingzhu tribe has basically been maximized.

The ratio of extraordinary people to ordinary people is one to hundreds.

This ratio is still quite different from the many civilizations in the Alliance of All Spirits, and it is even further behind the top civilizations like the World Tree Civilization.

But this is already very good.

After all, in just over a decade, the entire soul editor system is still in the process of constant exploration.

No mature training system has been formed yet.

Even Thoraus, who created the soul editor system, was only a mid-level soul editor.

There are more than one billion extraordinary soul editors, but not a single high-level soul editor has been born, let alone a legendary soul editor.

All the Spirit Casting people basically rely on their own talents to grow wildly, without any complete training.

Among all the extraordinary systems, it is not easy to establish a mature training system.

This requires at least one legendary-level extraordinary person, who must develop a general training method based on his or her own growth experience.

Only after the effect is confirmed can it be considered a mature training system.

Although Solaus is the founder of the Soul Editor system, this does not mean that he is the absolute authority in this system.

After all, at the beginning, he only had a preliminary idea about the soul editor system.

He doesn't have much idea about how the future will develop.

Even now he can still be called the number one soul editor.

However, it may not be a good thing to simply summarize his growth experience into a universal training method and promote it among the Spirit Casting Clan.

In the 280th year of the Wanling Calendar, the number of extraordinary soul editors exceeded two billion.

However, during these decades, the population of the Lingzhu tribe has almost doubled, exceeding one trillion.

This is almost the population limit of the Spirit Casting Clan.

The population of the former lightless land, now the Spirit Forging Land, has reached saturation.

If they continue to reproduce without restraint, they will squeeze the living space of other civilizations in the Realm of All Spirits, which will definitely not be allowed.

In the 345th year of the Wanling Calendar, the first legendary soul editor of the Lingzhu clan was born.
