Chapter 155: Valk Regeneration Experiment

"Besides, using pure kinetic energy as a machine's power source is just too stupid. Never mind the Magic Engine of the Orc Federation; even using the Steam Core from your Frost Kingdom would be better."

"After all these years, you're still boiling water. You'd rather research some supercritical boiler than think about switching energy sources. Have the brains of your country's people been affected by gnomes?"

"Steam engines are romantic, what would a guy like you know!?" Brenna, who had been fine otherwise, instantly flared up at the mention of steam engines. Regardless of the man's identity, she retorted immediately.

"Sigh, I really don't understand the aesthetics of you Frost People." Shaking his head helplessly, the man seemed to recall something and said, "That's exactly why I was forced to go to the Orc Federation back then. So many generations later, how are your ideas still so rigid?"

"Back then?" Brenna calmed down again. She looked at the man in front of her and asked, "Who exactly are you, and why are you in my room?"

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just passing through," the man explained.

"The corpse you are carrying has the scent of the target I am pursuing," he said.

"The target you are pursuing?" Brenna frowned.

"Yes," the man nodded and said, "That guy took away her soul."

He paused, then said with what looked like a perverse sense of humor: "Do you want to know what happens if you restore that body after the soul has disappeared?"

"What would happen?" Even though she knew she was about to fall into someone else's rhythm, Brenna couldn't help but ask after hearing the question.

"Hmm, let me recall." The man feigned a look of recollection and said:

"At first, the body functions normally, but no consciousness is born."

"After about two weeks of restored operation, faint signals begin to appear in the brain, but it still cannot wake up."

"Extending the time to three months, a miraculous wave reaction of a soul actually appears within the body."

"Subsequently, between one to two years after the body's operation is restored."

"The signal fluctuations in the brain become increasingly frequent, and it can even react to stimuli—for example, frowning after smelling a foul odor, or having its fingers twitch slightly after being electrocuted."

"By the final three to five years, it is in a state where it could wake up at any time, and upon waking, it will possess all of its original memories and personality."

"But!" The man grinned and said, "The new soul born within this body is no longer the original one."

"Through this experiment, I finally understood the relationship between the soul and the body."

"The soul is born based on the body; a person's memories, emotions, and thinking abilities are all influenced by the brain, and the so-called soul is merely a cluster of consciousness from the brain."

"As long as the brain is still operating normally, a new soul will be born, and if the brain dies, the soul loses its attachment and will quickly dissipate."

"And Necromancy..."

"Wait!" Brenna interrupted the man's incessant talking. She looked at him with a guarded expression and said, "Are you the God of Decay and Necromancy, Fen Yege?"

She remembered it now—that "Valk Regeneration Experiment" that shocked the world!

That was an experiment led by Fen Yege back when he was still in the Heling Empire, aimed at the resuscitation of the dead who had been decapitated.

By promising a death-row inmate that he would be pardoned if the experiment succeeded, Fen Yege chose a death-row inmate named Valk as his experimental subject.

After Valk was beheaded for public display, he took the head and body and used magical means to make them heal back together.

Subsequently, after a four-year observation period, the originally dead death-row inmate Valk woke up again.

The results of this 'Resurrection' experiment shocked almost everyone of that era!

It wasn't until three months after the end of this experiment that Fen Yege caused an accident while researching Necromancy, resulting in the heartland of the Heling Empire.

A terrifying Death Canopy erupted within Norsman City, directly transforming nearly seventy percent of the humans in the city into mindless Undead.

It also permanently altered the terrain of the Norsman Grand Canyon; to this day, it remains a forbidden land permeated with the scent of death and vast numbers of Undead.

As the culprit, Fen Yege was eventually defeated by his own daughter, the Light Kite Swordsman Meirniya. In the end, due to Meirniya's plea and considering the immense contributions Fen Yege had made to the Heling Empire.

He was not sentenced to death, but after being fitted with a Magic-Suppressing Lock that could never be removed for the rest of his life, he was exiled from the Southern Continent.

"Don't be so nervous." Fen Yege chuckled twice and casually took out a pale gray circular Stone.

"I need to find the guy who took your friend's soul, and you need to find your friend's soul."

"We take what we need from each other, how about that?"

As Fen Yege spoke, he placed the Stone on the design drawing Brenna had made.

"When you successfully restore your friend's body, inject your spirituality into this Stone, and I will help you."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Brenna's reply, his body dissipated within the room.

Before leaving, he silently added one more sentence: "Regarding mechanical modification, perhaps you could go learn from the Orc Federation."

"The things they tinker with are actually quite interesting."

After this sentence was finished, the room went completely silent.

"... Left?"

Brenna said after a moment of silence.

She turned her gaze toward the Stone Fen Yege had left behind.

"..."

After hesitating for a long time, she still chose to pick it up, held it in her hand, and gripped it tightly.

【【God of Decay and Necromancy Fen Yege lv??? (Myth)】 passes by your side. After staring at your Painting Board for a while, He shakes His head and comments: "Unexpected, the Frost Kingdom actually has someone with such an open mind."】【 "Oh, so it's a seedling favored by Linfulei, that's not surprising then." 】【 【God of Decay and Necromancy Fen Yege】 has left this place. 】 "Huh???"

Yun Mu, who had been excitedly drawing lewd art, reacted belatedly and then looked sharply to her side.

No way, do you gods have nothing better to do!? Why are you peeking again, peeking again! She turned her head to look at the work she was currently drawing.

On the canvas, a silver-haired young girl, scantily clad, covered in transparent liquid, holding various small toys, and with a flushed face, was gazing affectionately out of the canvas.

Damn it! The moment Yun Mu thought about how someone had just been secretly standing behind her, watching her draw while also commenting on her work.

She couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

"Eek!"

Shuddering subconsciously, Yun Mu hurriedly hugged her arms and cursed the God of Decay and Necromancy, Fen Yege, in her heart.

What kind of shitty god, passing by and not adding anything.

Never mind giving her the title of Favorite of the Gods +1, at least adding some favorability would have been nice.

Leaving behind a comment and then just walking away, and even saying, "Oh, so it's a seedling favored by Linfulei, that's not surprising then."

What do you mean! What do you mean!?

Ptooey!

PS: Aside from those who know Fen Yege, in fact, very few people know.

The God of Decay and Necromancy, Fen Yege, is actually a chatterbox.
