Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 546 - 321 Casting the Strongest Foundation_2

If it had been before the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, figuring out a new material would likely have been a stroke of great luck.

However, with the resurgence of Spiritual Energy and the appearance of various Mutated Animals, after studying them, all kinds of new materials started to emerge like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Especially, the more powerful the Mutated Animals studied, the higher the likelihood of discovering something beneficial.

And this time, many of the Mutated Animals and Mutated Insects that came from the Land of Inheritance were of the Sixth Order, so by researching them, there was hope to overcome the challenges of a few new materials in a short time.

"The request is reasonable, I will arrange to issue documents after returning, consolidating all research institutions to specifically tackle the technological difficulties with laser weaponry," Elder Zhao declared decisively.

What followed was the negotiation of the details.

...

As the meeting began here, Ye Feng, on the other side, had contacted Gu Ao Duo and relayed to him the exact situation he was in.

After listening to Ye Feng’s experience, Gu Ao Duo couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.

"Your situation is truly fascinating. I’ve heard of souls actively seeking new bodies, but one being transferred after death is quite unheard of."

"Moreover, you’re quite formidable. Logically speaking, a Spirit Plant’s potential is inferior to that of the Human Race, but you have managed to cultivate to such a degree."

"I used to think that it was the Spirit Plant body that was powerful, but now I see I was completely wrong—the true power must lie within your soul," Gu Ao Duo said somewhat sentimentally.

Ye Feng didn’t know what to say because he knew very well that what was truly powerful wasn’t his soul or body, but rather the system.

However, to prevent the other from feeling sentimental, he quickly interjected to ask, "Then Lord Gu Ao Duo, can I use the Life Rule to directly resurrect my original body? After resurrection, will my soul just transfer over, or will there be other changes?"

Gu Ao Duo paused thoughtfully for a moment before answering, "To be honest, I’m not entirely certain about your situation."

"The information I can access here all describes those strong in the Life Rule resurrecting others; there has never been anyone who possessed the Life Rule and managed to resurrect themselves."

"But based on the effects of the Life Rule’s resurrection, the soul of the resurrected being is forced to return."

Hearing this analysis, Ye Feng felt uneasy; unless the world was at peace, he wouldn’t dare to attempt it.

As if he knew Ye Feng’s worries, Gu Ao Duo spoke with a smile, "I do have a method here that could not only solve your problem but also turn it into a great opportunity."

Ye Feng’s spirits lifted, "Please do impart your wisdom, my lord."

Gu Ao Duo didn’t beat around the bush and directly suggested, "You can exchange for a secret technique known as Soul Splitting Decision, its purpose is quite simple: to divide your soul into two."

"Many strong individuals require this secret technique when they cultivate avatars."

Hearing this, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up; indeed, dividing his soul in two would solve his current problem.

Then, Gu Ao Duo’s voice continued, "Of course, under normal circumstances, I would not recommend you do this, at least not within a year’s time."

"Cultivating an avatar is usually something that those who had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years and were unable to advance would do in order to increase their Combat Power."

"This is because dividing one’s soul in two is akin to suffering a great injury, one that only extremely rare treasures can heal."

"What’s more important is that after the split of the soul, your ability to perceive the Rule Power will significantly decline, essentially weakening your Talent."

Hearing this, Ye Feng tensed up; any decline in the ability to perceive rules was unacceptable to him.

He must cultivate the Life Rule to the Heaven and Earth Realm within a year to pass the test and obtain the Eternal Artifact Hidden Sky Ship.

This was the most crucial matter for him in the coming year.

However, he believed that since Lord Gu Ao Duo had said it that way, there must be a reason; therefore, he listened patiently.

As expected, Lord Gu Ao Duo continued, "But your situation here is different from others."

"Although what you are doing is somewhat similar to creating a second embodiment, fundamentally, it is completely different."

"Ordinary second embodiments, even if made at a sufficient cost, can possess impressive combat power, but they are ultimately inferior to the original body. Moreover, the cultivation level of a second embodiment is fixed at the time of its creation and cannot be enhanced."

"But you are different, the soul you split will enter the original body, and in this case, the soul and body are a perfect match."

"Therefore, what you are creating is a second embodiment with unlimited potential for growth, and such an embodiment is also known as the second true self."

"This is absolutely your greatest opportunity, because under normal circumstances, even True God Strongmen would find it difficult to find a vessel that perfectly fuses with their own soul."

"Because such things, without exception, are treasures, like the Chaos Fairy Fetus, and in terms of preciousness, are only second to Eternal Artifacts. An entire Cosmic Era might not see the birth of one."

"So you understand what I mean, right? This is an opportunity that could even make True God Strongmen fight over," Lord Gu Ao Duo said.

After listening to what he said, Ye Feng was also surprised in his heart, but he still had some doubts, "Lord Gu Ao Duo, but didn’t you say earlier that after my soul is split in two, my talent for perceiving Rule Power will deteriorate?"

"Should I delay cultivating my second true self for a year then?"

"Haha!" Lord Gu Ao Duo suddenly laughed and said, "Then do you know why the second true self is so precious?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng had an inkling, but still respectfully said, "I would appreciate your guidance, my Lord."

"Ordinary second embodiments cannot cultivate, so after others use the Soul Splitting Decision, their soul is halved, and their talent is nearly cut in half as well."

"But the second true self is different because both true selves can cultivate. If you combine their efforts, in fact, your talent has not weakened at all."

"What’s more important is that, with the help of natural treasures, once you restore the part of the soul lost by both true selves, then compared to when you started, your soul would have effectively doubled."

"Thus, your talent would naturally also rise with the tide, being twice what it was before."

"In other words, doing this will not only not delay you, but it will also greatly increase your probability of passing the Eternal Artifact’s assessment."

"The most important thing is, others need a large amount of natural treasures to restore their soul, but you command the Life Rule, and just the nourishment from Rule Power alone can gradually restore your soul, solving all problems easily."

"Based on my previous estimates, your chances of passing the assessment were at most 50%, but now with the creation of the second true self, the probability of success can at least be raised to 90%," Lord Gu Ao Duo ended with a bit of excitement.

The more of an outlier Ye Feng became, the greater the probability of successfully helping him break away from this universe.

As for Ye Feng, after hearing the entire explanation, his excitement naturally far surpassed that of Lord Gu Ao Duo.

Without any hesitation, he chose to exchange for the Soul Splitting Decision and planned to cultivate it right away—the sooner he could cultivate his second true self, the better.

"Don’t rush. The talent of your original body should be quite ordinary, right?" Lord Gu Ao Duo inquired.

"Uh... it should be, I suppose!" Ye Feng said somewhat vaguely.

In fact, there was hardly any talent in his original body to speak of; otherwise, he would have become a Superhuman long ago.

"Well, in that case, you should take full advantage of this opportunity and reconstruct your original body."

"I will help you, creating the strongest foundation for your second true self, so that as it grows, its combat power will not be inferior to that of your Spirit Plant Avatar," Lord Gu Ao Duo said with a smile.

After all, if the second true self cultivated is only used to perceive the Rule, then that would be a huge waste. The combat power must keep up.
