I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 626 A Soul Strong Enough to Withstand Memory Erasure

Half a day later, the entrance to the secret realm lit up with light.

Qin Wuyu emerged from the secret realm, his eyes filled with confusion.

Feeling lost is normal, Jiang Chen knew; everyone who came out of the secret realm felt the same way.

They will basically forget what happened in the secret realm, and can only remember some fragments.

No useful information can be deduced from these fragmented pieces.

Furthermore, there aren't many people qualified to enter the "Origin Realm," and over the years, there has been almost no news about it. Aside from the fact that the realm is extremely difficult, there's not much else known.

After a few seconds of blankness, a glint flashed in Qin Wuyu's eyes, and he murmured, "I'm out!"

Jiang Chen asked, "How is it, senior?"

Qin Wuyu glanced at the back of his hand; the runes on it were gone.

Qin Wuyu gave a bitter smile, "It's a failure!"

Failure is to be expected; over the years, those who have succeeded are extremely rare.

Seeing that the confusion in his eyes had not completely faded, Jiang Chen did not ask him any further questions about what had happened in the secret realm.

I knew perfectly well that I couldn't get any answers from them.

If Qin Wuyu truly remembers something, she will surely tell him on her own initiative.

Qin Wuyu slapped his forehead, and a sharp aura erupted from his body once more, transforming him once more into the sharp sword that pierced through the clouds. Jiang Chen knew that everything in the Forgotten Realm wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Not everyone can face their failures squarely.

If you only know the result, you'll be somewhat disappointed at most.

If the memories of the secret realm still exist, and the process of failure is repeatedly replayed in the memory, then it will not be of much benefit to future cultivation.

Qin Wuyu's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the sword became sharper and sharper, surpassing its state when he first entered the secret realm.

"Although we failed and couldn't preserve the 'Primal Rune,' we still gained quite a few benefits."

"I can feel that I have become stronger, and I have a greater chance of breaking through to the god level."

Indeed, Jiang Chen had gained a lot of benefits; he keenly sensed that Qin Wuyu's soul had become stronger.

For those aspiring to reach godhood, strengthening their soul is paramount. They can afford to lack skills, they can endure slower leveling, but a stronger soul is the most crucial factor.

With Jiang Chen's current god-level soul strength, he can clearly sense which level Qin Wuyu's soul is at.

Qin Wuyu was previously level 86, but her soul level was slightly lower, below level 85.

Most professionals are like him, their souls can't keep up with their level, which makes it extremely difficult for most professionals to become god-level powerhouses.

This is why so many false gods appear. Although a false god reaches level 90, his soul strength is slightly lacking, and he can never become a god.

Now, after Qin Wuyu's journey through the "Origin Secret Realm," his soul level has improved, reaching level 86, which is the same as Qin Wuyu's original level.

In this way, his chances of becoming a god-level being greatly increased; he had at least a 50% chance of achieving godhood. From the changes in Qin Wuyu, Jiang Chen guessed what the benefit of the "Origin Secret Realm" was: it enhanced one's soul level.

Based on this, Jiang Chen guessed that the trials in the "Origin Secret Realm" should also be related to the soul.

This speculation is not unfounded; it is the result of a comprehensive analysis based on my own experiences over the past two years and the level I have reached.

Jiang Chen said, "Then this junior wishes you great success and god-level attainment, senior."

Qin Wuyu laughed heartily, "Very good, very good, welcome to my Qin family, I'll be happy to welcome you."

Qin Wuyu was not one to procrastinate; he bid farewell with just a few words.

Take out the teleportation talisman and teleport back to the Ancient City of the Divine Dragon.

After years of working away from home and enduring hardship, this was his first time returning to the city.

I wonder how she will react when she gets back and learns Jiang Chen's identity.

There are many people who practice asceticism, and it is not unusual for someone like Qin Wuyu to do so.

Jiang Chen looked toward the entrance to the secret realm, took a deep breath, and said, "It's my turn!"

As the scenery changed, a wonderfully pleasant, delicate fragrance wafted into my nostrils.

It's not the scent of flowers, but it surpasses the scent of flowers.

It smells more like the fragrance of grass and trees, which makes people feel refreshed and enlightened after smelling it.

Jiang Chen felt that his mind seemed to become more active, and his soul became more flexible and lively.

"A wonderful fragrance!"

Jiang Chen realized that this fragrance was extraordinary; it could make one's mind work more flexibly.

As soon as my vision returned, I saw a warm sun in the sky.

The warm sun cast its rays, and the gentle light felt warm and comfortable on my body.

It felt like all the pores on my body were open, all fatigue was swept away, and my body reached its peak condition.

The unique fragrance and the warm sunshine combine to allow everyone who enters the secret realm to reach their peak condition.

These two points alone made Jiang Chen feel a good impression of the secret realm.

Then he saw the secret realm, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, with mountains in the distance and water nearby.

Wild grass and flowers covered the ground, along with scattered trees, and the distant mountains were shaded by lush greenery.

A path stretches into the distance, with quaint pavilions along the way, and small houses at the foot of the mountain.

This scene, however, felt familiar to Jiang Chen.

"The Soul Realm of the Righteous God".

Jiang Chen had seen an identical secret realm before, one that Jiang Yi had constructed with his soul. "No, it's not exactly the same; there are still differences."

"The secret realm of the Righteous God is only similar in form, not in spirit."

"There is no pavilion, no exotic fragrance, and no warm sunshine."

"From this, it seems that the Righteous God must have entered the 'Primordial Secret Realm,' and his memories there were not completely erased, so he remembered some scenes from the secret realm."

"But why did he say that this is what his hometown looked like when he was a child?"

Jiang Chen couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"I don't know what the assessment will be like."

After walking along the path for a while, we arrived at the pavilion.

"If my guess is correct, this pavilion is the first test point."

The assessment Jiang Chen was waiting for did not appear until he reached the pavilion.

An ancient and desolate aura swept over him, and Jiang Chen was shaken at first glance.

The small pavilion seemed to grow infinitely large, towering in the cosmos, like a giant holding stars in his hand.

Even the most powerful gods could not harm it in the slightest.

However, there are mottled marks on the pavilion, as if it had been through a brutal battle.

These are traces left from the great war.

Jiang Chen was shocked for a long time before stepping into the pavilion.

The pavilion has the characteristics of a dragon, or rather, the dragon has the characteristics of a pavilion, just like the inheritance of culture.

It belongs neither to this era nor to the previous era.

The "Primordial Secret Realm" is ancient and cannot be traced back.

If Jiang Chen were to tell me, there are many characteristics of ancient China that can be seen in pavilions.

Upon entering the pavilion, I searched the four wooden pillars but found nothing. The pavilion was unusual, as it had no seats or tables.

Finally, in the center of the pavilion, Jiang Chen saw a handprint on the ground.

"This should be it."

Jiang Chen pressed his palm against it, and a suction force came from it, causing his soul power to uncontrollably drill into the palm print.

The pavilion suddenly lit up.

A law silently entered Jiang Chen's body and his soul world.

This law is extremely subtle, almost to the point of being undetectable.

If it were someone in another profession, they certainly wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Jiang Chen clearly sensed it, and then saw it through his own soul.

This law flew toward his soul, indiscriminately influencing good and evil.

Jiang Chen's soul was pure and unblemished, so naturally he wouldn't allow any external forces to enter.

The nine-colored dragon soul crystal residing on its body let out a dragon roar and pounced forward, swallowing the law in one gulp.

It seemed to chew several times before spitting out the law and spraying it onto Jiang Chen's soul.

The laws that it has chewed have become pure soul power.

Jiang Chen felt that his soul level seemed to have improved.

Because I am already at the god-level soul level, the improvement is not significant.

If it were a professional of another level, they could at least raise their soul level by half a level to one level.

"It seems that this law is the key to erasing memories."

"The laws are responsible for erasing the memories within the secret realm, and the soul power contained within the laws is considered a reward for those who enter the secret realm." "That's really fair. No matter how the test goes in the secret realm, you can get a good reward."

"If you pass the test, your memories in the secret realm will not be erased, and you will be able to take them out of the secret realm."

"But it's strange that none of those who passed the test would tell us what happened in the secret realm!"

Increasing one's soul is extremely difficult, so this reward is truly excellent.

Most people can't keep the "Primal Rune," but if they can exchange it for an improvement in their soul level, then the trip is worthwhile.

Jiang Chen was naturally not satisfied with this; he also wanted to preserve the "Origin Runes," or at least one of them.

Feeling the nine-colored dragon soul crystal residing outside the soul, I once again deeply realized its extraordinary nature.

It can defend against soul attacks and also resist the laws of nature.

Its power greatly enhances the safety of one's soul. Perhaps the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal's effects are limited to this; there are many other uses that I haven't yet discovered.

After all, it was a treasure of the dragon race, far more powerful than he had imagined.

Jiang Chen already knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, none of his memories from the secret realm would be affected.

Even if you fail the secret realm challenge, that's still the case.
