Following the system's instructions, Yun quickly climbed the chains, and soon arrived at a wide platform within the Tower of the Damned. Standing on this platform, Yun looked around and realized he wasn't familiar with the place. However, compared to the previous, arduous climb, reaching this point via the chains was significantly faster.

Yun gazed at the towering Tower of the Sinful Souls, thinking to himself, "It's already this high up, so the Writer's Platform should be around here." He then turned to the system and asked, "System, is there any danger ahead?"

The system was silent for a moment, then replied, "It's impossible to confirm at the moment. The situation here has changed a bit." Yun felt a little uneasy after hearing this, but still decided to move on.

"How far is the writer's platform from here?" Yun asked immediately.

The system responded, "It's not far. Just one level up and you'll be there. It's important to note that although the Writer's Platform is called a platform, it's not directly accessible from the outside. This is the shortest route to the platform."

After receiving the system's affirmative response, Yun felt a sense of relief. He took a deep breath and continued forward, following the system's instructions. Winali quietly followed behind Yun, deeply curious about his actions. Watching Yun reenter the Tower of the Sinful Soul without hesitation, Winali couldn't help but wonder what Yun's true purpose was.

Surprisingly, the fierce battle that Yun was worried about did not happen. Yun and Winali walked into the writer's platform easily, as if everything was planned.

It was completely different from the scene in the game, where the circles of magic marks on the ground seemed to have life, constantly rotating and emitting a mysterious light. However, this place in reality was extremely quiet, without the slightest movement, not even a hint of magic.

There was no so-called author in the middle, and the ground was empty, without any magical marks. It looked like just a relatively spacious room, nothing special.

Yun stood in this room, feeling a surge of worry. He looked around, bewildered and at a loss, so he turned to the system and asked, "System, what should I do now?"

The system's voice sounded in his mind, calmly replying, "This place just looks a bit derelict because it hasn't been used for a long time. First, clean off the dust on the surface, then follow the instructions I give you, and you should be able to activate this place. Once it's activated, I'll tell you how to guide the soul."

Hearing the system's words, Yun felt a little more reassured. After all, with the system's guidance, he was confident he could find the souls of Xindi Yalai and the others. As for whether or not they could be resurrected, Yun felt that wasn't a big deal. Even if it wasn't possible here, he could always try at the Star Energy Extractor or find Freya; they were sure to have a solution.

The most important thing now was to find the soul. Yun took a deep breath, gathered his composure, and decided to see what Zoval could do first.

"Zovair, is this the writer's platform?" Yun asked with a slight smile on his face. In fact, he knew the answer to this question very clearly in his heart.

Zoval didn't notice anything unusual about Yun. He nodded and replied, "Yes, this is the Writer's Platform. However, I haven't used it in a long time, so I need to familiarize myself with how to open it first."

Yun thought to himself, "I didn't expect Zoval to be so honest. I want to see what Zoval will do next." If Zoval can successfully retrieve the souls of Xindi Yalai and the others, then cooperating with him might be a good idea.

"Okay, you try it first." Yun decided to stay put and observe Zoval's actions.

Zoval said to Yun, "Put down the Sword of Sorrow first. I need to form a physical form to better operate this platform."

Yun placed Frostmourne on the ground without hesitation, and then looked at Frostmourne quietly. Then, gray-blue energy emerged from Frostmourne again, forming the little man from before. The little man picked up Frostmourne flexibly, as if it originally belonged to him.

As expected, just as the system had predicted, the little man began to use Frostmourne to sweep the dust from the ground. As the dust was cleared, mysterious runes gradually emerged.

Winali stood aside, and when she saw the runes on the ground, her eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment. She involuntarily took a few steps back, as if these runes would bring her some danger.

Seeing this, Yun quickly joined in the cleaning. Together with Zoval, they quickly cleared the runes from the ground. Soon, all the runes on the ground were revealed before them.

The space here is obviously much larger than the scene in the game. There are only a few circles of runes in the game, but there are dozens of them just in the area where Yun can see. Not only that, the movement of these runes is also much more complicated than in the game. Some runes can even rotate in other ways instead of simply moving like in the game.

After Yun finished sweeping the floor, he and Winali hid nearby, curiously observing what the little man would do next. In the game, the runes on the floor were all there was, but when the little man began sweeping the walls, something unexpected happened—even more runes appeared on them! Yun couldn't help but be amazed; this was completely beyond his understanding of the game.

As the little man cleaned the dust from the walls, Yun took a deep breath, his heart filled with wonder. He had never imagined there were so many runes here, and they were constantly increasing. Before Yun could recover from his surprise, the little man began to clean the roof, and then, runes on the roof also began to sprout like mushrooms after rain.

Yun was completely lost for words. The sheer number of runes before him dazzled him. If one didn't know how to manipulate these runes, simply looking at them would probably make one dizzy.

The system not only demonstrated in detail how to operate the writing platform, but also highlighted key steps and marked the order of operation, making the entire process clear and easy to follow. After a brief wait, I began to follow the system prompts without hesitation.

Everything proceeded smoothly as the system instructed, and Yun felt increasingly at ease. However, as the runes began to spin in circles, Yun discovered that they were slower than in the game. Even so, due to the sheer number of runes, when they all spun together, Yun still felt as if everything was spinning, causing him to feel a bit dizzy.

Just as Yun was feeling a little uneasy, he saw the little figure press the final button. Instantly, the surrounding runes seemed to come to life, floating lightly and converging into a three-dimensional runic image in the center of the platform. Although the runes continued to rotate and float, their relative positioning was exceptionally ingenious, as if meticulously designed.

Yun couldn't help but marvel at this, and the dizziness he had felt instantly vanished. He was filled with emotion. The holographic image was truly stunning! He had never imagined the technology here was so advanced. He seemed to have underestimated them before.

"Wait a minute, what's your friend's name?" The little man stared at the rune and suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

Yun's heart tightened, and he quickly replied: "Xindi Yalai, Aaron, Witt, and Leiter." His voice trembled slightly. After all, this concerned the souls of his friends.

Before he finished speaking, Yun unhesitatingly instructed the system to display the method for operating the Writer Platform to locate the four souls, clearly marking them. Time was running out, and he dared not delay even a moment, as this was his last chance.

However, as Yun nervously watched the runes change, the little man actually followed the system's instructions. As if drawn by some force, the runes quickly converged together, forming tightly connected circles of fixed runes.

As the runes gradually gathered, they began to emit a faint light. It was dim at first, but soon became brighter and brighter. Yun's heartbeat also accelerated with the changes in the runes. He couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, and even a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead.

However, at the moment the runes' light reached its brightest, they suddenly seemed to lose energy, rapidly dimming, and finally disappearing completely. The runes returned to their previous floating position and continued to slowly rotate in circles, as if nothing had happened.

"Huh? What happened? Didn't it work?" Yun couldn't help but get anxious. He stared at the scene in disbelief, his eyes wide open, filled with confusion and anxiety.

Seeing this, Zoval quickly comforted him, "The Maw is so vast, this is just a summoning ritual. It will definitely take some time for the soul to float over."

"Should we continue to summon other people, or wait for a moment?" Yun asked calmly.

"Don't you suspect that I'm cheating?" Zoval raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Yun with a smile.

"Oh? Then wouldn't it be wrong for me to believe you?" Yun shrugged nonchalantly and responded in a relaxed tone.

"Haha, so you also know this trick. No wonder you are so confident. I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to know the situation here so well." Zoval suddenly changed the subject, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It's okay. After all, it's always a good idea to make more preparations. Otherwise, it would be easy to be assassinated." Yun explained lightly with a smile on his face.

"Okay, since I promised you, I will naturally do what I say. As for what you want to do next, that's your business. I can't interfere. Come to think of it, I haven't trusted someone like this for a long time. It's really interesting." The smile on Zoval's mouth became more and more obvious.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've been so wary of someone like this." There seemed to be some helplessness in Yun's words.

Just as Yun and Zoval were teasing each other, suddenly, white rays of light emerged from the center of the rune on the wall like a spring. These rays of light seemed to have life and slowly gathered to the place where the rune was previously.

Seeing this, Yun was shocked and looked carefully, wanting to confirm whether these lights were the souls of Xin Di Yalai.

"Yun? Is that you? You're here?" Xin Di Yalai's voice seemed to have crossed the barriers of time and space and came out slowly.

This sound was both familiar and unfamiliar to Yun. The familiarity lay in the timbre of the sound, while the unfamiliarity lay in the fact that it had not been heard in his ears for a long time.

Yun's heart was filled with an indescribable excitement, and he quickly responded: "Great, you're still here. I thought it would be impossible to find your soul after such a long time."

However, at this moment, Zoval beside him suddenly made a puzzled sound: "Huh?"

The "hmm" made Yun's nerves tense instantly. He asked quickly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

After all, Xin Di Yalai's soul has been found, and no mistakes can be made at this time!

Zoval seemed hesitant, and after a while he slowly said, "No, normally a soul will split into seven parts and then merge here."

When Yun heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Are you missing one?"

Zoval's expression became a little serious. He hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "It's not that we're missing one, it's..."

Yun's heartbeat became increasingly rapid, and he couldn't wait to interrupt Zoval: "What is it? Tell me!"

"Yes, there are two more." The little man pointed to the white light that gradually gathered into the soul. Sure enough, there were seven rotating magic circles on the wall, and white light appeared in the middle. At the same time, relatively thick white light appeared in the two rotating magic circles on the ground and the ceiling and gathered together.

"System, is it seven? What are these two extra ones? Will it be affected?" Yun didn't ask Zoval at this time. The system was still more reliable.

"Normal humans are composed of seven source energy bodies. The two extra ones on the ground are Azra's star energy body, and the one on the ceiling is the source energy body of the void. Because they were all given by you, the souls gathered together are two more than others." The system answered directly, and Yun relaxed.

"It's okay, that's just how they are." Yuntian replied.

"Is that so?" Zoval was very surprised. There was a huge difference in the strength of souls. Only lives that were very powerful during their lifetime could have strong souls. However, humans had a limited energy limit and could not be that strong. But Sindi Yalai's soul was already the strongest among the native souls, much stronger than those powerful Eredar. Zoval never thought that one of Yun's subordinates would be so strong.

"Yes, that's it. The next few should be like this too. There's no need to make a fuss." Yun said disdainfully.

"Okay." Zoval was speechless. As expected, no one around Yun was normal.
