Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 14: Scammer
“People can compromise temporarily.”

"The heart cannot."

"Don't forget this anger and this feeling of powerlessness."

“When there is no way to retreat, ignite this anger, swing the sword for the weak, swing the sword for the innocent, and for the justice in your heart.” This was the old knight’s last instruction before he disappeared, and it was also his expectation for the younger generation.

[Obtained a portion of the inheritance of the Holy Sword. Evil Slayer (Rage).]

Memories of dreams gradually crumble and shatter.

This does not mean that Rean has woken up, and the "training mode" has not ended. It is just the beginning.

The next moment, Rean returned to the original wasteland alone, looking at the barbecue grill where they had eaten supper together, feeling a little confused.

Returning to the silent wasteland, there were no clouds and no wind in the sky. This was the most profound scenery in Soul's memory. However, Rean, standing alone in the wasteland, felt a little cold.

The mentality is completely different.

There was too much information and possibilities, and the more he sorted them out, the more uneasy and frightened he felt.

He gently turned the pages of the book in his hand, and the golden Hero Soul Card seemed to have not changed at all.

The knight in the silver helmet was always roaring silently, and the face of the man who dared to swing the sword against the gods
Haha, it’s exactly the same as me, the old me who has experienced too much.

"I thought my appearance had changed the Heroic Soul Card, and the pattern on it was a fusion of us. It turns out that from the beginning it was Su Er's true appearance, another me, another time traveler, Li Ensu."

If Rean had enough understanding of soul studies, he would know that "soul fusion" is basically impossible to happen. When different soul fluctuations come together, they will only result in expulsion or encroachment.

But as Soul said, Rean is still too young and his knowledge is far from enough.

At this moment, Rean had not yet recovered from the shock he had felt before.

He recalled the subtle feeling of mutual dislike and understanding when they met before. Wasn't that another me?
"There's something wrong with the vision."

Rean noticed that the barbecue grill in front of him looked like a toy, and there was a silver glove on his outstretched right hand.

He subconsciously drew his sword and looked at himself with the reflective blade. Only then did he realize why he had this habit.

".This is how we meet? It's really quick."

Wasn't the person in the "mirror" the old knight with gray hair? Had he become Soul? What meaning did that have in a dream?

[Note: In the second half of the Heroic Soul Training Mode, the host will use the Heroic Soul's body and self to conduct the training. Please familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible.]

Looking at the ancient book that suddenly floated in front of him, Li En looked at him silently.

"Finally, you're not going to act anymore?"

no respond.

"Is it you? You arranged our fate."

Rean asked about the book that looked like a dead object.

But no matter how much he asked, there was still no answer. After looking at his previous memories, he still felt that it was just a dead object.

Li En already had a guess, or a hypothesis.

A soul, constantly reincarnated in infinite years, he is sometimes a farmer, sometimes a knight, sometimes pure and sometimes evil.

Life will eventually come to an end, and when it ends, this book will jump out, record his life, and include him as one of the heroic souls.

Sul is one of them, and so is he. Or after he dies, a new time traveler Li Suen will be born.

[Self-awareness achieved. Real name and user rights released.]

Is this a tacit admission? Is this really an infinitely reincarnated entity?
[Lee Eun-suk's Heroic Spirit Illustrated Book (V2.0)]

[Bound to: Lee Eun-su. Producer: Lee Eun-su.]

Okay, you don’t want to act anymore.

But are you implying that the mastermind behind all this is still Lee Eun-su? Is it the Lee Eun-su who was once very powerful?

Rean sighed, but it seemed that even if he knew that there was something wrong with this thing, he couldn't get rid of it or he wouldn't know how he died.

What's the point of a golden finger? I obviously made it myself.

But whenever I think that when I die, it will "feast" again at the place where I died and generate a heroic spirit card named Rean Sudar, I feel awkward.

Maybe after it dies suddenly, it will produce a brand new "Li Ensu" after a while.

[Note: Only those whose strength and willpower have reached a certain level can be called Heroic Souls and be included in this Atlas. This Atlas serves only as a record and auxiliary appendix for those who have infinite reincarnations and does not have any reincarnation function.]

Okay, keep scolding me!
Li En, who was scolded in front of everyone for being unworthy, raised the book, but for a long time he couldn't bring himself to smash it down.

This hint suggests that this book is not a cheat code, but a plug-in disguised as a cheat code, and is only responsible for recording and controlling tasks related to heroic spirits.

"Am I the number Li Ensu?" This is the question that Li En is most concerned about now. Is he also just a clone?

[Hint: The Heroic Soul is merely a virtual personality composed of memories and soul fragments. Li Ensu has always existed and has only existed once. The uniqueness of the power of the mind and soul is the verification.]

The heart and soul are the fluctuations of the soul. Only beings with souls can possess heart and soul skills.

Memory is the foundation of personality, and memory is also the cornerstone of the mind. Sul is Sul, and Rean is Rean.

"In other words, it was me who was reincarnated, Lee Eun-su."

But this seemed even worse. Rean thought of the legendary story, the snake that was infinitely reincarnated.

It is even more tragic considering that memories may not even be restored in reincarnation.

But why did Su Er not regain all his memories until the last day? Is it because he needs to have a self-awareness as "Lee Eun Su" so that he can be included in the atlas more completely?
But then, no matter what Rean asked, he got no response.

He flipped through the book, but there was no noticeable change, except that the last page unlocked a quest.

【Ultimate mission: Find humans.】

"Can't I just look in the mirror? Okay, no need to hint, I know I'm not human."

At this moment, Li En also noticed that his previous self-perception needed to be revised.

Since this is not the first reincarnation, there is no reason for me to still be a purebred human being on Earth.

So, what species is he? He already has the answer. The "Heroic Soul Atlas" has actually made it clear, and his first racial talent is even more direct.

"Dragonization and beastization? This is a forbidden species in this world. Isn't this a worse start than Sur's?"

These things are too far away and there is no way to solve them now, but you have to be careful about exposing your bottom and causing trouble in the future.

After unlocking the permissions, Rean also saw some specific content of the "dream teachings".

The first part is Sur's teaching to himself, which can be in various forms, and there are also some standard templates.

Judging from the information, the tutor has unlimited authority and whether you can pass the exam depends entirely on his words.

"Uh, is normal Heroic Spirit teaching so difficult? Uncle Soul really let me off the hook. Why is it so awkward to address him like that?"

It's becoming increasingly clear that we're one person, but we're being addressed as a third person. It's becoming increasingly subtle.

However, by browsing the specific rules and some examples of "Heroic Soul Teaching".

He was also more grateful to Su Er for letting him go, as he could have saved his troubles.
"If I were to fight in some historical battle, or face a test head-on, and seek the approval of a heroic spirit, there's no way I'd win."

Teaching is one-on-one teaching, and the application will be approved if the instructor approves it.

But if we really go by the standards of a hero, Rean is still far behind.

If you meet a picky one, they will directly replay a historical battle in their dream, and it will be impossible to pass even if the power of the Hero Soul Card is exhausted.

As for Soul, he just played a video according to the most basic rules. He also hinted at some things that made Rean think too much, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the current situation.

Of course, this was not a show of goodwill without reason. In Soul's eyes, Rean already met the requirements and it was just a formality.

As for when it was approved by Su Er
"You accepted it when I decided to avenge Will and draw my sword for the weak."

Because it is myself, it is easier to understand when I put myself in their shoes.

Rean sighed. Those sparring sessions with all kinds of instant kills, apart from making him accustomed to death, were probably also a way for Soul to vent his dissatisfaction and anger at the arrangements he had made.

Compared with his own beginning, Sul's fate was really too bad for him to fully "awaken" at the last moment of his life.

Anyway, you are Lee Eun-su, so it’s right to beat you up.

Both Rean and Sur realized that the one who arranged all this was most likely a "time traveler" named Li Ensu.

"Look at the request you left for me."

The heroic spirit has returned to the book, and the remaining power may not be enough to awaken it again.

But the two remaining requirements are the second half of the training, and are also the tasks that Soul expects Rean to complete for him.

[Foolish Justice, the soul inheritance of the God-killer Sur Daon: It is the fool who longs for justice.]

Judging by this added title, Brother Soul is even more remarkable than he lets on. Rean's own memories don't include this part. Was he intentionally omitted? Or was it posthumously awarded?

And this inheritance is the real function of this Heroes' Soul Atlas.

The impact of just one person's strength is bound to be extremely limited. This power is much stronger than Rean had expected.

If you really want to influence the times and stir up the historical stage, you naturally have to sow enough seeds.

The function of "passing the dream trial and handing it over to someone worthy of trust" is quite interesting.

After reading the instructions, I found that dream training is not about training Rean, but about letting Rean put on the vest of the heroic spirit to train the true successor in the future.

The first half of the stage is for the Heroic Spirit to teach and assess Rean's qualifications.

In the second half, Rean, wearing a vest, attracts several qualified candidates for succession through dreams and asks Rean to train them.

Rean acts as a tester, selecting and training the candidates, and will ultimately determine whether to entrust this inheritance to others. As for what happens after it is released, Rean doesn't think the book intends to take care of it if it is really just a plug-in.

"This is quite interesting."

Looking at the usage rules on it, Rean had many thoughts and ideas.

"It would be a waste to use it just to give strength."

This may not just be a training class that is qualified to take over the inheritance of the Heroic Soul. It cannot be a weakling. In reality, Dayu and Junqing may also be pulled in.

If used well, this mechanism of forcibly pulling people into dreams can directly interfere with reality.

"I need connections right now, and here they are."

The "broken tail case" that was almost impossible to solve in the short term seems to be solvable if this thing is used well.

Allowing the legacy of the Heroes to continue is the basic rule of the Heroes Atlas and is Rean's obligation after receiving previous training.

The second task is Brother Sur’s private goods.

[The Legacy of the Judgement (Law) Knight: Let the lost path of the Balance of Law be passed on again]

The gods are gone, and you want me to inherit the legacy? Li En touched his forehead. This mission was a bit difficult, and there was a lot of hidden information.

"Something feels a little off, let's leave it alone for now."

Time was limited, and Li En didn't plan to wait until next time.

This is a method that can truly interfere with reality. Rean had many design ideas. After he deduced it, it seemed to be really feasible.

He thought about it and began to rewrite the reality of the dream using Professor Sur's method and set it up directly. Looking back now, that seemingly tricking himself with equipment was also a kind of teaching.

This is my dream, my world. I can change it however I want as soon as I think of it.

Since we are going to welcome guests, we naturally have to clean the house.

He first changed the scenery of this wasteland.

The wasteland is the home of the wild wolf Sur, but not Rean's.

"I say, let there be light. The light from home."

Soul taught Rean how to play in the dream world, everything is up to him and everything is free.

He raised one hand, and the starry sky rearranged itself according to his will.

The familiar and bright stars are dotted one by one, the twelve constellations and the Big Dipper.

At least in my dreams, the starry sky of my hometown can be shaped.

Li En looked around and frowned. Such a barren land with nothing in it was not suitable for entertaining guests.

"Come on. A building complex that matches the Hall of Heroes' Soul."

Following his will, the surrounding walls gradually came alive. It was a palace complex similar to the Western Olympics, with murals recording heroic myths and epics.

"Clap clap."

He clapped his hands, and illusory figures appeared in the heavenly palace in the distance.

If you're doing a play, you have to do it fully.

Whether as a mentor or as a "scammer", the first thing he needs is authority and the other party's trust. In this regard, Li En is still somewhat confident.

He patiently embellished the Hall of Heroes, and even though the available area was only a small piece in front of him, he still wanted to create the feeling of a complete world.

This is the temple of God, the noisy stage for the heroic spirits. That's right, Rean has already finalized the "scam script".

"about there."

The ancient Greek-style arena is the core of the main stage, with magnificent Olympus-like sky mountains behind it and several floating islands in the distance.

Earth's starry sky twinkles overhead, and to those in the know, it signifies another universe.

The twelve-sided white marble building corresponds to the twelve zodiac constellations in the starry sky, and each side is engraved with the myth of the constellation.

Above the starry sky, bronze chains can be vaguely seen shuttling through the cracks in space, and faint roars of beasts can be heard from them, as if a mythical giant beast is locked in it.

The building is surrounded by space rifts and the bottomless River Styx, which looks quite dangerous.

It also prevents the audience and actors from actually running to the edge and tearing off the stage curtain.

In the middle of the theater and the arena is a grand stage composed of twelve concentric circles, and Rean stands on it. Behind him is a torn space crack, and the shadows of heroic souls are peeking at reality from it.

After cleaning the house, the next step is to welcome guests.

"Are there only four spots in the first batch? Uh, I can choose one in advance."

Looking at the back door that Brother Soul left for him, Lien laughed. It seemed that he also saw through his thoughts.

The Heroic Spirit Atlas will pull in four souls that meet the inheritance requirements based on the compatibility of the heroic souls, and Rean has a backdoor option.

"It's her"

Letting acquaintances in also makes it easier to hide your identity and indirectly guide the progress of the stage.

After a spot is confirmed, the rest is truly random, and the Heroic Spirit Atlas will pull in the most suitable sleeper.

What? You meet the requirements but you didn't sleep? Then you're out of luck.
"coming."

It didn't take long before figures wrapped in mist came in one after another.

The first one who came in was the fastest. He was covered in black mist. He thought for a moment, then turned around and ran away without hesitation!

Anyone who can match the spirit of a hero is obviously not an ordinary person. What kind of evil spell is this? It can actually pull me into a dream. I'm going to run away first!

Li En was silent, as if he still had to consider the possibility that the other party would just run away.

He thought about it, but ultimately did nothing.

Let it go.

He just stood silently in the center of the stage, waiting for figures to step into the arena filled with the flavor of history.

One, two. Seeing the figure he had chosen among them, looking at everything in front of him in shock, he smiled with satisfaction.

This time, they did not run as fast as before. The visitors looked around hesitantly at the mythical exotic scenery.

When the last short figure came in, the surrounding fog stabilized. Li En also coughed lightly to attract attention and prepared to start the scam. The performance began.

"Dear candidates for succession, this is the Hall of Heroic Souls, the place where the Heroic Souls are passed down."

Everyone stared at him, some in surprise and some in question, but Li En had achieved his goal.

But the next development instantly exceeded his expectations, and he didn't even have time to speak.
".This is the legendary Hall of Heroes!! A great hall lost in history!"

The last figure to come in made a sound of surprise, and she suddenly looked up at the starry sky.

"Yes, this is the Hall of Heroes. The twelve zodiac constellations of Aries and Libra, and the starry sky are exactly the same as those recorded in the legend." The short figure pointed at the starry sky, and his exclamation echoed throughout the hall.

Wait, is there really such a thing as the Hall of Heroes, and the decorations and the starry sky background texture happen to be the same as the one I just made?
At this moment, it was Rean's turn to be in a trance.

"No, it's not impossible. This is not accidental, but inevitable."

He also understood immediately.

"Lee Eunsu, what on earth did you do in the history of this world?!"

It's completely normal for the same person, in almost the same situation, to have the same golden finger and behave in the same way.

Before Rean's pirated version of Valhalla, there was also a pirated version of Valhalla by Li Ensu, which is normal.

"Brother Suer, I'm starting to hate Lee Eunsu too."
