Chapter 943 - The Inner Kingdom: Soul Trapping Dimension
Chapter 943
(Unedited)
…
It might not sound as interesting as it is, but from what Shin Jiao could tell, this whole library contains information on how to create an artificial world that could trap any soul that would enter it. From the information displayed on the screen, he could read the words 'Soul Trapping Dimension'…
"So this whole library is the instruction on how to create a Soul Trapping Dimension?" Shin Jiao muttered to himself while looking at the football field-sized library filled with books.
I guess these books are the hard copies and these jade slips are the information data.
Shin Jiao thought as interest flashes in his eyes. If he wanted to know the real way out of this place, he needs to study the jade slips. Plus, he also needs to know how to get out of this space first.
And so, Shin Jiao spends more time inside the library as he learns all of the jade slips.
From what he is learning, he became more fascinated and engrossed as he absorbs one jade slip into another. Then he would sometimes go to the books and reads them to fully comprehend things. As there are a deeper understanding with regards to life and death phenomenon, rebirth and reawakening, mana and Qi, restriction and confinement, and the establishment of the natural laws, Shin Jiao has to study more of these things to fully understand how a Soul Trapping Dimension is about.
If he is asked if he could make a simple Soul Trapping Dimension right now, then the answer is yes. He could kill and trap one's soul in an array. But that would be the most of it. No life cycle, no law, no nothing. Then sooner or later, that soul would still be able to escape.
But a deeper understanding of the Soul Trapping Dimension entails that even if millions of years would have passed the dimension will still exist as long as the planet existed.
The souls would recycle over and over benefiting the one who created such a dimension. It is a perfect and easy way to either trap even deities or create one.
He learned he could now tell that the immortal land also follows the same type of planetary array, but the immortal land uses a far more advanced array system than what he could learn from this library.
As Shin Jiao was able to tap into the planet's virtual soul planning array of the immortal land, he is somewhat familiar with its structure and how it was created. But the full plan of the gigantic planetary array is not recorded in the virtual soul planning array, so he is not familiar with it.
However, learning from the Soul Trapping Dimension array somewhat compensated his knowledge of the whole of the immortal land.
But as he reads the last two jade slips on the table, Shin Jiao's expression suddenly frowns. This is because he has learned a hard to accept and terrible truth.
Escaping the Land of Death would be possible for those physical bodies imbued with mana energy. This means, if you were born in the Kingdom of Xinglo, then, you can go out of the dimension using the southern exit.
He has already recorded the exit in his mind and knew that he would need to go through the capital to reach the exit.
However, his immortal body would be expelled by the barrier protecting that exit, which means that only Im Ao and Im Jae could go out. Meanwhile, the rest who came from the immortal land would not be able to exit unless they die and cycle.
Plus he could not destroy this array formation as it contains a huge amount of energy. If he destroys this place, then a large part of the Long clan territory would be destroyed and millions of immortals would lose their resurrection spots.
"Well, the only way out would be to create a wormhole, right? But I need to get the right direction of that wormhole and not hit an empty space that would cause a vacuum to occur…" Shin Jiao thought while he tries to analyze the severity of things.
As the information about the Soul Trapping Dimension is now clear in his mind, he could not analyze things clearly.
"Wait a minute, why did I not think about that…" Shin Jiao suddenly muttered to himself.
He already has an idea of how to exit this place. And he would just need to tell his companions about it.
He walks out of the library after fixing the things he used in there. Then walks to the beautiful corpse of the saint ruler lying on the altar.
Then Shin Jiao's eyes landed on the pearl earrings on her.
His eyes shine as he suddenly extended his spiritual sense in the earrings. From there he saw the arrays and the contents of the earrings.
"I knew it… She preserved her memory…" he muttered with a smile.
"I guess, I would just give Isabel an option. I knew my conjecture was right… Isabel… Agus… Haha…" Shin Jiao muttered with a chuckle.
"I would let her decision to either accept returning or continue with her life in this place." Shin Jiao thought.
"But first, let's change the setting of this place. This would be a good place to create a mortal plane in the immortal land. As a punishment to those who commit evil in the immortal land, let's put some heavenly law in this place." Shin Jiao suddenly has an epiphany.
With a wave of his hand, he restored the large void and concealed the white room. The soul of Ruel has already disappeared.
"I guess he has been forced to cycle…" Shin Jiao thought at he could not find any trace of Ruel's soul.
Shin Jiao then began to create one array after another and then start taking out one metal lump after another.
"Let's first create a judgment room for a soul," he said with a smile.
Then from what he has learned and couple with other heavenly laws he has already learned began creating a high platform and long line of stairs.
"This would be the stairway to heaven... or hell."
He then created the giant statue. One is a beautiful angel wearing a white beautiful gown with six wings, two on her head, two big ones on her back, and one pair on each of her milky white feet. And the other is a handsome demon with a red robe and dragon-like wings.
The two exude different auras; the angel is calm and gentle, while the demon is malevolent and sinister.
After setting up the law, Shin Jiao gave the soul options. If they gained more good karma, they can enter the immortal land or return to the living and cycle again. If they have more negative karma, then they would enter the gates of hell, where they would suffer and be tortured mentally according to the number of their negative karma which is, 1 negative karma is equal to 1 year.
Shin Jiao has created the heavenly court controlled by an AI imbued with the basic laws he created.
With this, a basic structural world has been created in this small mortal plane.
After creating the new cycle of life, Shin Jiao return to the white room, and then without hesitation absorbed the whole room in his dimension.
With a wave of his hand, a small black hole appears and then he slowly walks out.
The idea in Shin Jiao's mind is already formed and once he was able to walk out of the black hole, he carefully fixed the two statues.
From outside, he could already see hundreds of souls wondering about the destruction of the statue of Ruel, it seems that the core of the dimension was interrupted. And fixing the statue is the key for the cycle to start.
When creating the exit for the souls of this plane, Shin Jiao has already connected it to the Ji village direction. However, once the soul exited in that place, it would be directly intercepted and enter the cycle of reincarnation for three days. And once they would enter the immortal land with their original immortal bodies, they would not remember anything…
And the karma… it would be left in a series of crystal walls that Shin Jiao created in that judgment platform. If Shin Jiao needed more universe energy, then he could just return to that white room and absorb the energy from there.
After fixing the statue, Shin Jiao immediately felt the activation of the array, and the many souls in the vicinity were immediately sucked inside the statues.
Shin Jiao fixes the cave and then strengthened its arrays inside of it. The array would now repel anyone who would want to enter this place.
"Well, let's go back to the city…" Shin Jiao muttered as he slowly floated in the air and fly away.
When he passes by the green lake he suddenly stopped flying and immediately flew closer to the lake's surface.
Then, with a flabbergasted expression, he looks at his reflection on the slightly greenish lake surface.
