Chapter 168: Spirit Life, the Birth of a Retainer!

These groups that had died in various ways combined into a special, almost solid orb of light within his claws at this moment.

Within this orb of light, under the maintenance of Baichuan's pure light points, a massive amount of light points continuously burst out with vast information, and some even surfaced the appearance of their former lives on the orb's surface.

Looking at such a bizarre scene, Baichuan did not feel the slightest bit of surprise, because these light points were not originally in this form.

At the very beginning, when the special light points he collected that perhaps represented Will were few, not a single strange phenomenon appeared, but as the light points he collected grew increasingly numerous.

After these light points were gathered in his claw's palm and maintained by his pure light points, a strange scene actually began to occur.

From light points that initially had no spiritual intelligence and only a trace of residual information, they transformed into light points that initially possessed spiritual intelligence, like the souls in Baichuan's understanding from his previous life — truly exceedingly strange.

But after discovering that they could do nothing, given enough time Baichuan also grew accustomed to it.

However, today is different — today is the moment of harvest after he has collected light points for so long!

Baichuan gazed at these light points that continuously surfaced all kinds of strange images and slowly thought to himself.

Who could have imagined that the light points, derivatives of the blood worms, combined with the Will ability of those otherworldly humans, would give birth to such bizarre scenes.

But no matter how bizarre, after today they will also disappear.

Thinking of this, Baichuan recalled the experiments the Great Zhou had once conducted, and slowly manipulated the light points to split off a tiny, seemingly insignificant piece that was almost about to coalesce into a clump — let us tentatively call this a light block.

And once this small light block separated from the massive orb of light, it was as if its vitality had died; the human faces on its surface and the images that occasionally flashed by vanished in an instant, just like a power outage.

Regarding this, Baichuan paid it no heed, slowly closed his eyes, and in an instant activated Microscopic Vision to begin continuously crushing and grinding these special light points, feeling every tiny change within the light points.

After a long while, he stopped, split off another small piece once more, and merged it with this light block that had a small portion crushed and ground. As the two light blocks drew close, they actually began to melt and form one large block.

However, regarding this, Baichuan frowned, because as the two light blocks merged, no change actually occurred — this did not match the information he remembered. Could it be that there were too few?

Somewhat puzzled, Baichuan split off and merged another small piece, until human faces of all manner of strange shapes once again surfaced on it along with images that occasionally flashed by.

Only at this point did Baichuan smile with satisfaction and stop, split off another piece once more, and then crushed and ground it.

This was clearly to investigate and ascertain exactly how large a light block was needed for human faces that seemed to come alive and memory images to appear, as well as the role of every single light point in this process.

Baichuan believed that as long as he could find every single change within, he would be able to artificially manufacture this kind of orb of light.

Time thus began to pass.

In the blink of an eye, a year had already gone by.

And with the passing of a year, on this day.

Accompanied by the Flood Dragon's unrestrained great laughter that shook the mountain trees into rustling, Baichuan also thoroughly understood the changes within.

This meant that it was not far from when he would completely manufacture a true "soul" possessing spiritual intelligence!

But he could not be impatient yet — at this moment he could only rely on his own light points to imitate and manufacture a specious orb of light, and this orb of light was at most merely an imitation of the one he had collected.

He still could not alter all the information within; it remained just like the one he had collected, with massive amounts of information continuously surfacing in utter chaos.

But the beginning of all things is the hardest — now that he had already crossed the first step, as long as he carefully analyzed it, he would inevitably be able to understand the mysteries within.

Thinking of this, Baichuan first stretched his dragon body that had been motionless for a year and was nearly stiff, then headed into the mountain forest.

Now throughout the entire Great Qin region, no matter the area, this newly born species of herbivorous dragons had already begun to appear, having clearly become a great race.

Since that was the case, he, Baichuan, should also taste the flavor of the new species he had personally created.

As the Flood Dragon went out, a pair of sharp claws easily lifted up a herbivorous dragon with delicious meat. Baichuan simply opened his dragon maw wide, directly bit off its head in one bite to kill it, and then carefully tasted it bite by bite.

Without a doubt, the meat quality of this species simply exceeded his imagination — not only did it lack the thick, tough-to-chew wrinkles of rhinos and elephants, it also combined thin skin with plenty of meat, and was juicy. With one bite, a mouthful of lively meat chunks leapt about in his mouth; the flesh and blood rich in energy truly melted upon entering the mouth — indescribably delicious.

After beautifully eating ten herbivorous dragons to satisfy his appetite, Baichuan finally stopped. Make no mistake — although it was only ten, the energy they brought Baichuan could rival that of five whales.

After returning once more to the mountain peak, Baichuan began his long daily routine of research and analysis once again.

Time thus began to pass once more.

And this time, a full three years went by.

Looking at the one-meter stone before him that emitted white light, Baichuan also smiled.

A full three years — he had finally completely understood the mysteries between Will LV1 and the blood worm light points, and this also meant he could manufacture a special life substance like a soul from his previous life!

Of course, he preferred to call this newly born life form before him a Light Cocoon.

Because the life he had manufactured was extremely special — it was not a life created from flesh and blood, but a life form born from pure light points in a special structure.

And the light points that composed this Light Cocoon, he called Spirit Light.

All things possess spirit, and the spirit hidden within all things is Spirit Light. These Spirit Lights contain the information of life, and when the number of Spirit Lights is sufficient, they can grant life the birth of wisdom.

The birth of this Light Cocoon was something he created by referencing part of the birth of the consciousness and soul of the Great Zhou Emperor, as well as the existence method of the special life form of the blood worm.

The life form of the blood worm allowed him to evolve a large number of special abilities onto it, which then became the innate talents it carried from birth — of course, these could also be called "Authority," while the life form of Zhou Gaozu allowed it to plunder and accommodate the flesh of its true body.

In other words, it is the light points — that is, Spirit Light — that constitute its true body, or rather, its soul.

Every single Spirit Light within carries a portion of its consciousness, which means that as long as its Light Cocoon is not damaged beyond a certain extent, it can slowly regenerate by absorbing ability.

As long as the damaged Light Cocoon is not missing beyond a certain point, it can step by step revive through the recovery of its Spirit Light.
