Soul Of Negary

480 Vol7 Ch18: The completed bridge

“Before his death, lord Dolan regained his senses and felt remorseful for his mistakes, so he had given his remnant soul to you” Aureum explained.

Perhaps it was out of his guilt towards Parry’s death but Catho easily handed over the method to extract and implant a secondary soul. Dolan had also requested Aureum not to tell Parry about who he was, not wanting the boy to know of his father’s evil deeds.

After that, while Dolan’s remnant soul hadn’t completely burnt away, it was extracted and implanted.

In this way, Parry and Ramillies both became Ghostmen.

Perhaps because the implanted secondary soul both belonged to their family members who truly wanted to help them survive, there were practically no side effects to the implant, allowing them to quickly sense their respective awakened abilities.

Ghostmen aren’t just known for being able to utilize a secondary ability, but also for their ease of practicing [Bone Forge Art] compared to normal people. A Ghostman had once practiced to reach the level of a first-rate Pugilist, which was the renowned Ghost Knight.

From what can be seen, the reason why Ghostmen can so easily reach the level of a first-rate Pugilist was partly due to their undying constitution, allowing them to undergo ludicrous levels of training.

Additionally, thanks to their secondary soul, Ghostmen can more easily stimulate their Metal Soul and obtain a Pugilist Heart, not to mention how relatively easier it was for them to complete the Burning Soul Tempering process that was next to impossible for the normal person.

“Brother” Ramillies stood looking down at the rotting dead body, feeling like the sky had fallen down around him.

Just before his birth, his father had lost his life in an aristocratic struggle, swiftly followed by his mother who had neglected her health due to immense sorrow.

Most of Ramillies’s memories in his earlier years were related to his older brother by 10 years. He was the one who had done everything in his power to keep up their aristocratic dignity, otherwise, many people would have already come straight to their house to cause trouble. For the past few years, it was Catho who had kept the Jugus family barely afloat, and now for his sake, his brother had chosen to sacrifice himself.

Observing the two newborn Ghostman, Aureum frowned, a bit confused about these people’s emotions.

Isn’t one’s own existence the most important thing in the world?

Why were these people so willing to give up their lives for another person’s sake?

Negary had also been observing the progress of this entire script, which had so far proven that his experiment had failed.

If one could observe from Negary’s vision, they would find that the Parry here was actually a butterfly, while the butterfly at the city lord’s manor had already taken flight into the distance.

While Zhang Zhou dreams of being a butterfly, the butterfly also dreams of being Zhang Zhou. As soon as Negary had interfered, their identities had already been completely mixed up.

If Negary had succeeded, Parry would only be Parry and the butterfly would only be a butterfly in his vision.

Normally speaking, all temporal abilities are nothing but the adjustment of the physical world’s activity speed. Slowing down, speeding up, or even stopping time was nothing but the control of the physical world’s activity speed.

Meanwhile, the so-called act of reversing time was to access the world’s past information and restructure the world’s matter to be the same, in which case it couldn’t actually be called Time Reversal, but rather Past Reconstruction.

Unless it was in a layered world, time travel seemed to be impossible, because there is nothing left of the past except a chunk of information.

The Akashic Records of the past was also a part of the Akashic Records of the present, except it was hidden in a deeper aspect of the physical world, it can indeed affect the present world to a certain extent, but only to a certain extent.

Even the act of changing the past Akashic Records would be done in the present. This was essentially no different from stabbing someone with a knife to leave a wound, except the stab was much deeper.

The main difference here was the efficiency, changing the Akashic Records of the past was akin to scratching an itch on your foot through the sole of your shoes, which is highly inefficient, using up more effort for a lot fewer results.

If Negary’s Pathway hadn’t fully encompassed his own existence, his attempt to extract his own information and replace it with the so-called King of Evil Spirits would have taken up a considerable bit of Negary’s power.

Negary’s experiment was to use this chance and see whether or not he could change something else to a further extent.

Evidently, it had failed.

True temporal alteration can create the effects of reversing entropy, but within the current multiverse, the increase in entropy cannot be reversed, or at least it currently is in my eyes

What Negary wanted to attempt this time wasn’t reversing entropy, but rather to limit the increase in entropy, to be specific, he had attempted to only increase entropy with correlation to himself.

By extracting his own information and replacing it with the King of Evil Spirits’ information, he was able to cause a change in other information in the present, thus turning Parry into the butterfly and the butterfly into Parry.

However, this change in information was only an overwrite, as information of the originally-human Parry remained after being changed into a butterfly, while the butterfly’s information also remained in the new Parry.

The changes in the past’s information did not affect this portion of information at all.

If the change had been successful, then the source of all of this entropy would have been Negary. Negary would then have been to manipulate all changes in the world following his will, as all entropy resulted from him.

In this way, Negary would have been able to truly alter the past of anything other than himself.

Unfortunately, it failed, and this was under the circumstances of a world where Negary had previously left his information.

This made perfect sense, but it still caused Negary to feel somewhat disappointed. His research regarding Impurity was still too shallow and the part it took up on his Pathway was still not enough.

If he had succeeded, he would have been able to proceed to the next step of his experiment and invade the world’s Akashic Records, turning himself into an entropy god that gradually replaced the world’s ‘change’.

Because all changes would rely on him to occur, he would gradually have a grasp on all information of the future, turning all possibilities into a direct result of his actions, thus completing his dream of dominating over all things.

And from the results so far, he still had a way to go on this path.

“I fully believe that Milord would be able to succeed” Lan Shan said.

As one of the three embodiments of Negary, she only knew a part of Negary’s plans, but that didn’t prevent her from wholeheartedly supporting Negary.

“Milord” with a flash of light, Noah appeared next to Negary.

While Lan Shan was accompanying Negary’s aspect of humanity, Noah was busy completing a different job.

In the past, Negary had already undergone a lot of changes, so the world coordinates that remained within his soul weren’t necessarily complete. This was why it was necessary to use the Flame world as a springboard to determine the location of Wang Yuan’s original world and build a bridge leading there, and this was Noah’s job.

So the fact that he had appeared in this place meant that Noah’s job was complete.

“Everything is complete, there were no unusual occurrences” Noah purposely reported, apparently to inform Negary of something.

As soon as the bridge was completed, Negary immediately sensed fluctuations in the world barrier as a number of individuals appeared in this world.

Several people, both men and women, in modern clothing appeared in a certain city, one of which appeared similar to Wang Yuan when he was alive, solemnly observing this world.

“Everyone, we came to this world in order to save it, to dissolve the scheme of the King of Evil Spirits and an end to the disqualified king”

So, the grand play had begun Negary sighed.

So that is my successor huh, quite decent, from the looks of it
