Dimension Game Empire Chapter 473

Life level is a very vague existence.

But in a broad sense, life level refers to the form of the flesh.

Ordinary magicians and knights, even if they possess powers completely different from normal people, and their bodies can run higher and faster, they have not escaped the life level of ‘human beings’.

As time passes, the flesh will inevitably age and die.

Xia Yan was in this stage before reaching the second level of the Heavenly Rank. However, after mastering the power of the world’s rules, his body silently completed the transition in life level, gaining a longer lifespan and potential.

Especially, Xia Yan, who has mastered the rules of time, is even more long-lived than beings of the same level.

But even so, it is not immortality.

In this respect, the soul is different from the flesh.

The soul is a stable, eternal existence, even if the flesh dies, it can continue to exist through reincarnation.

Of course, if the structure of the soul is destroyed, a person truly dies.

The reason why memories are lost after reincarnation is actually the death of the spirit.

A person is composed of a soul, spirit, and flesh.

The soul is the most essential existence of a person, while the flesh is the external manifestation, and the spirit is the bridge between the two. As a bridge, the spirit is closely connected to the flesh, and will gradually decay and die along with the demise of the flesh.

Afterwards, the eternal soul will follow its origin and continue to reincarnate.

Among these, the origin of the soul is immutable.

Just like Xia Yan’s complex and varied essence of ‘Time, Space, Contract’.

It was not until he understood these things that Xia Yan deeply realized what he had obtained in the first place.

Special prize for advanced domain – the Life Fruit that reincarnates the soul as an Apostle.

This is an existence that forcibly gives oneself a new origin.

To be honest, he still feels that the process of obtaining the ‘Life Fruit’ was somewhat unclear. He even felt that the chance of obtaining the ‘Life Fruit’ was even more difficult than becoming a Godslayer.

But he obtained it with a stroke of luck.

If he had to say it, there must be something fishy about it.

Xia Yan is an open-minded person, and he won’t dwell on things he can’t understand. He just keeps it firmly in his mind.

In short, when thinking about how to break through the limitations of ‘Godslayer’, he first thought of his soul as an Apostle.

As an advanced domain – that is, the existence of Saints vying against each other, is it really only worth that little value that it shows?

The answer is naturally no.

During the Accelerated World, Xia Yan’s soul completed its initial transformation, and was truly reincarnated as an ‘Apostle’ – or rather, the existence of ‘Original Man’. However, it was judged as ‘childhood’ by the Empire Game.

From that time on, his body possessed the characteristics of ‘Original Man’, that powerful life recovery and transmissibility.

Now it seems, this is an incredible thing.

–The change of the soul actually extended to the flesh.

Making the flesh begin to possess the characteristics of the soul – Original Man.

But if he thought of the Apostle’s talent ‘Soul Materialization’, Xia Yan vaguely understood.

When he killed Lilith, because of the commonality between the two, Xia Yan plundered Lilith’s massive life force and reincarnated as a Godslayer. Along with this replenishment of life force, Xia Yan quickly discovered a new problem.

Soul, spirit, flesh – the three became more and more integrated.

This can be seen from the fact that Xia Yan can more clearly contact the soul, and even tamper with some of the restrictions on the ‘Authority’.

Even the 『Musou』he newly developed is a manifestation of his gradual change.

The perfect combination of mind, body, and technique – reaching the Musou combat realm.

Heh, it’s easy to say, but this is not a realm that can be reached with a flash of inspiration.

It is precisely because the ‘soul, flesh, and spirit’ are more closely connected that Xia Yan can combine the ‘mind, body, and technique’ represented by these three, and develop the divine art 『Musou』that is praised by both gods and demon kings, and can be called transcendent.

The so-called flash of inspiration requires a foundation to produce qualitative change.

If it weren’t for the high degree of connection between ‘soul, flesh, and spirit’, Xia Yan would not have been able to develop this 『Musou』realm that perfectly combines mind, body, and technique.

Otherwise, Luo Hao, who has studied martial arts for hundreds of years, her strength, skills, and even her martial heart are stronger than Xia Yan, but I have never heard of her having such a realm.

“From the moment you descended into this world, I discovered…” Pandora seemed to see through Xia Yan’s body, seeing the gorgeous soul beneath his flesh: “An amazing and incredible soul, actually leading to the miracle path of ‘Soul Materialization’.”

“Your arrival also touched the power of ‘Myth’, produced resonance, and gave birth to a Disobedient God named Lilith.”

“Gave birth to an existence named Lilith?”

Xia Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and Athena’s dark snake pupils on the side also suddenly shrank, looking straight at Pandora.

“That’s right, just as you thought.” Pandora nodded frankly: “The so-called immortal realm, the realm of the gods does not exist. The fact that the gods themselves are sleeping in it is even more of a lie. The Disobedient Gods walking on the earth are the very body of the ‘God’ of this world.”

“What do you mean?”

Athena asked.

“In the ancient age of the gods, ‘Gods’ walked in the world, and were trapped in the realm of the gods by the myths woven by humans, and could only descend to the human world through the way of ‘Disobedient Gods’… Isn’t that so?”

Athena spoke of the common sense of the magic world.

“This is indeed the way ‘innate gods’ exist.” Pandora said with a light smile: “But it is not the way you exist. You are woven together by the power of mythology and the faith of human beings, and after being given a divine personality, you are born as ‘acquired gods’.”

Along with Pandora’s explanation, Xia Yan gradually understood.

The situation of the Disobedient Gods is very similar to the Heroic Spirits in the Type-Moon world.

Among the Heroic Spirits, some truly existed in the world, leaving behind their epic legends, and thus sublimated into Heroic Spirits. And some are not truly existing in history, but are imaginary existences born from the epics and beliefs woven by humans.

Innate gods are the former.

Mythology is a kind of sublimation for them. But even without mythology, they would at most just have a decline in strength.

Acquired gods are the latter.

The power of mythology and faith is their essence. If one day they lose the power of mythology, they will completely disappear. Their words and deeds, thoughts, and even their essence are restricted by mythology.

In their minds, the so-called hatred and memories in the age of gods are actually given by mythology, and are false existences. And the so-called destiny and fate are things imposed by mythology.
