Chapter 131: Different Possibilities

"May I reconsider?"

When Miss Shaliman took hold of that card, others felt nothing; the most surprised was actually Li En on the stage.

He knew this girl's uniqueness.

Born a standard high noble, yet seemingly having weathered some storms.

Now a trusted confidant of the royal family, considered to have made it; in the eyes of outsiders, the most loyal of the loyalists, the most trusted of the royal confidants.

If nothing unexpected happens, the greatest label of her entire life will be "Clan Chief Sudar."

For people like this, it is not that they do not understand the importance of power, but that for them, authority and factional alignment are the highest priorities.

With money and status, talented individuals possessing power can also be bought.

Of course, if you can become a top-tier combat force, similar to that goddess floating above the city, or a legend like Purple Rose, that is a different matter entirely.

When you can crush the mortals who hold power in your hand with one grip, then power will actively pursue you, hoping to incorporate you into the system; but reaching that state has a lower probability than winning the lottery, and even if everything goes smoothly, under normal circumstances it still takes many years and countless hardships.

"Martial arts, magic, and such, just play around a little; don't take it seriously." This is actually the attitude of many high noble families toward their children.

If one does not reach a strength capable of leaping beyond mortal authority, it holds little meaning for their life; truly reaching that level, the success rate is so low it can be ignored.

From their perspective, is paying such a huge price to pursue power a bit like neglecting the root to chase the branches? Clearly able to enjoy life and power while gaining everything, why stand in the spotlight, bleeding and sweating?

Now, Miss Shaliman's behavior has a flavor of betraying her class.

Li En subconsciously looked at the foolish Larry; she would be sent to the church to follow the Paladin path, not because the Labore family pursued the power of Paladins, but because they craved the church's support.

Clearly able to live more conveniently, why pursue this power with such huge side effects?

The reason Li En was confused was that he knew Miss Shaliman and Dai Niya were two different things; he could not see any trace of her desire for power.

"Miss Shaliman, what exactly are you thinking?" Li En became even more puzzled; he even saw Princess Dai Niya reveal a confused expression.

This superior also completely could not understand the hallucinatory operations of this high noble family head.

Clearly, she could accumulate experience and connections in her youth, and upon reaching a certain age, reside in the hall, solving all problems with money and connections.

Furthermore, with her future authority and wealth, hiring some Great Knights or Great Warriors would not be impossible.

Standing in an invincible position, why did she suddenly have a whimsical idea and actually attempt to enter the fray herself?

"Of course." The expected answer; Kukku smiled, seeming completely unsurprised.

"But only for three days." Kukku added; when the duration of the Heroic Soul's existence ends, naturally everything ends.

"I am deeply grateful." Miss Shaliman nodded gratefully.

For the time following, naturally, each successor activated this card and, under Kukku's guidance, adapted to their new state.

Some showed no visible changes externally, while others collapsed headfirst, unable to get up for half a day.

On Li En's side, records should be visible on the compendium; perhaps their evolution directions and usage techniques could also provide some help and inspiration to Li En.

"To best master this power, you need a 'second head.' I have some suggestions."

Kukku did not bring out Li En's multi-headed Dragon God plan; instead, addressing the different situations of these apprentices, he gave completely different suggestions.

For example, for Alchemists, he suggested using Alchemy to solve the problem, creating an "external thinking device," or fusing a new thinking circuit; if maintaining extremely low output, they could even consider using a Familiar to solve the problem; he recommended mechanical-type and puppet-type Familiars on the spot.

Another line of thought is to create a "ghost," using an possessed artificial spirit to become a second self.

This is very difficult for ordinary people, but for the owner of "Shadow Divine Power," it is a possibility worth trying.

Shadow-type Deities also have the Priest profession, and they are also spellcasters; Dark Elves can strive in this direction.

Of course, if your computing power is high enough, changing nothing, single-core dual-threading is also acceptable.

Every transcendent is different; their fused soul abilities also have subtle differences, requiring constant adjustment.

Some races and some power systems even lack soul abilities; this power can still take effect, only the form of its manifestation differs.

What Kukku gave were merely suggestions and directions, borrowing his experience to provide guidance; how to proceed specifically depends on them themselves.

The Machine Clan is the simplest; just add a crystal chip; a pile of previously damaged parts has been collected, and preparations are roughly complete.

"Gu Gu, you are also very simple; you can use the psychic network to share this extra pressure with your own kind." Gu Gu seemed to be considering this possibility, but he actually already had his own plan.

His compatibility with Kukku was also not low; Mushroom People are naturally a collective consciousness; he had even prepared to cultivate a "little mushroom" inside his body.

Kukku also whispered with "Bai" for a long time; the other party subconsciously nodded, appearing to have accepted the suggestion.

Avoiding the crowd was not merely to keep secrets, but involved knowledge of "Beasts"; the less known, the better.

And as Kukku said before, Beastmen are the best at solving this problem; multi-headed snakes, multi-headed dragons, chimeras—a whole host of multi-headed evolution paths.

"Cultivating a second thinking line within the same body is also possible, but one must be prepared for a struggle over control of the body; there are also certain requirements for the spellcaster's level; personally, I suggest preparing a cradle and shackles for the newborn soul."

Li En did not need these, because his second thinking line was still himself; he felt absolutely no sensation of soul splitting.

If others cultivate a second thinking line, "another me" will likely appear very soon; at that time, trouble is certain to arise.

"Accidentally cultivating so many mental patients..." What Li En thought was probably the plain truth.

Kukku addressed everyone's situation, trying to minimize their side effects.

For every candidate, he produced a plan; it seemed he had considered it long ago.

Time passed just like this; while every candidate's heart was turbulent, they also seized every moment; they knew perhaps only a few days remained before the Mentor left.

They still had too many questions, too much they wanted to know.

Li En also saw Miss Shaliman being pulled over by Princess Dai Niya to say a bunch of things; out of respect for her privacy, Li En did not eavesdrop.

This night was perhaps the most fulfilling; everyone was busy.

But since the successors had no physical bodies here, wanting to adapt to their new state, they still had to wait until they woke up.

Finally, accompanied by the dissipation of the dream, the new candidates returned to the mortal world one by one.

And this time, just like sowing seeds one by one, waiting for the day they sprout.

Whether this world will produce a batch of schizophrenic madmen or a group of heroes attempting to change the world, as Kukku said, can only be judged by those who come later.

"The most likely scenario is not that both exist among the people? The possibility that both are the same person is also not low; one can be a madman and also a great historical figure."

Kukku himself was quite open-minded; and after tonight ended, the presence of the Heroic Soul significantly decreased; he was almost out of time.

Waking from sleep, Li En saw Kukuu still scribbling and drawing by the bedside, hurriedly recording a bit more.

But Li En, who had just awakened, was dragged directly into her room by Miss Shaliman.

"I, I have something I wish to discuss with you." This time, Miss Shaliman was more serious than ever before.

—

As the visitors of the dream departed one by one, that hidden operating mechanism, along with the birth of the candidate, was activated once again.

【Detected the appearance of an Heroic Soul heir. Heir's soul fluctuations locked. Personality model locked.】

【Individual names: Vitoria V. Yunier, Gugu, Ophelia, Arleqne Tarabar, Shi Difen Fierlanchi, Sylvia (White). Current total: six. Specific ability characteristics recorded as follows.】

【Heroic Soul Codex V2 recording complete. Data uploaded to Heroic Soul Hall V1.】

【Heroic Soul Hall V1 check passed. Potential assessment passed. Upon the heir's death, their soul and achievements will be evaluated to determine whether to invite them into the Heroic Soul Hall.】

This time, due to someone's willfulness, perhaps the Heroic Soul Hall is also about to reap a great harvest.
