"I’ll explain the general plan to you first."
"In fact, when the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor died, he left countless backup plans in the Heavenly Palace, one of which is the prerequisite for our current plan."
"My old master once possessed a supreme treasure called the Soul Orb!"
"The power of the Soul Orb is mysterious and unpredictable, but ultimately, it is a soul-related item. Almost everyone who was in the Heavenly Palace had come into contact with the Soul Orb, and the Soul Orb has recorded their soul fluctuations."
"In a moment, I can activate this backup plan, releasing all the soul fluctuations recorded by the Soul Orb, attaching them to their former remains. With certain methods, we can awaken the consciousness of all the souls in the Heavenly Palace."
"Awaken consciousness? What does that mean?" Wen Yu asked, feeling somewhat confused, prompting the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine to provide more explanation.
"Currently, the souls in the Heavenly Palace are akin to lifeless corpses, acting solely on instinct. However, if I activate this backup plan, the souls of the entire Heavenly Palace will immediately regain their original consciousness and awareness."
"What’s the use of that?" Wen Yu queried.
"By itself, it doesn't seem useful. But combined with the Spirit Resonance Elixir and me, it will allow you to perfectly integrate into the social system of the former Immortal Heroic World."
"Moreover, among all the professionals entering the Heavenly Palace Treasure Land, only you can integrate into the social system of the Immortal Heroic World. The benefits of this should go without saying, right?"
"Additionally, with my identity, once the souls of the Immortal Heroic World regain their original consciousness, they won't become obstacles in our progress; instead, they will become tremendous assets!"
"And! Some even rarer and more powerful treasures often come with greater risks. The Heavenly Palace is a vast place, and I can’t thoroughly understand every restriction. Without someone to guide me, these restrictions could turn these places into desperate situations. However, once I awaken the souls' consciousness, the available methods will be numerous! Trading? Merit exchange? Deception? Or going in hard? We can do whatever is most convenient!"
"And…"
"That's enough, that's enough!" Wen Yu decisively waved his hand to interrupt the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's summary. He quickly calculated the pros and cons of the entire situation in his mind and, in under three seconds, he immediately nodded in response.
"Let’s do it then. What should we do first?"
The branches of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine gently wrapped around the unfinished Spirit Resonance Elixir on the ground.
"Before awakening the consciousness of the deceased, we need a complete Spirit Resonance Elixir, so the first task…"
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine said and immediately placed the Spirit Resonance Elixir in front of Wen Yu.
"Complete it."
"… It requires the origin power of the Immortal Heroic World… doesn’t that mean you’re robbing me of something?"
Upon hearing Wen Yu's complaint, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine shrugged decisively.
"There’s really no perfect way to steal origin power."
"How much origin power does it need?"
"Not much, actually. In fact, my old master left behind a backup plan for completing the Spirit Resonance Elixir— we only need to go out and kill three souls, and that’s enough!"
Upon hearing the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's answer, Wen Yu bitterly shook his head.
"The 'three souls' you mentioned should be the three limit breakers guarding this layer, right?"
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine swayed its branches noncommittally, and then more detailed information was transmitted into Wen Yu's mind.
"Wudaozi, Shuiyue, and Laughing Monk. These three are the three limit breakers I mentioned in the fourth layer. Wudaozi, as a direct disciple of the former sect leader of the dao sect in the Immortal Heroic World, was about the equivalent of an 18-year-old human when he died, possessing the great perfection of the golden core stage, and with the strength of a level 4 limit breaker, his physical quality is approximately equivalent to around 20,000 points."
