The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 1216: Coding, the Bane of my Existence

No matter how Vaan thought about it, the development of the Divine Soul Kingdom was imperative. Its utility was multi-layered and essential at every stage, also spanning many areas.

Cultivation, protection, security, convenience, etc.

’Even if I successfully create the grand reversal spell, cheating true death, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll fully restore me to my former state prior to true death.’

His body was forged through various opportunities and inheritances, and even its innate talents were likely given by the heavens or the one who sat above the heavens. As such, recovering all of this would likely require more than just a tremendous amount of energy.

Even if he created a spell capable of reversing true death, to even be able to return from the state of true death was already the greatest blessing. Expecting to recover all his talents, ability, and cultivation would be too hopeful and greedy.

As such, if he truly experienced true death and returned through the grand reversal spell, the cultivation of his body, energy, and magic would likely be lost. Only more intangible things, like the cultivation of his laws and soul, could be recovered or retained.

No, perhaps even his cultivation of soul and laws could also be lost.

However, if they were tied to his Divine Soul Kingdom, it would become a different story. After all, the original soul was eternal and imperishable. Thus, with the Divine Soul Kingdom formed inside of it, everything tied to it would also be safe.

’If I really have to start over, while it might delay me, it might not necessarily be a bad thing,’ Vaan contemplated.

After all, in the early phase of his cultivation journey, he had utilized whatever available resources he could acquire to strengthen himself, regardless of the minor defects they could inflict on his body.

As such, it wasn’t absolutely foolproof that these minor, hidden defects wouldn’t pose a significant problem for his later breakthroughs.

However, knowing that such things might have existed, he still wouldn’t change his past actions.

After all, resources, opportunities, and knowledge were limited in the past. Everything he did was for survival. He was a beggar and couldn’t choose what to use to improve himself, only accepting whatever was available and conveniently came his way.

Now that his knowledge was vastly different from before and his wealth of resources was immense, he could build a much firmer foundation for cultivation without taking any detours that might pose future problems.

’The remaining resources I’ve brought from the Myriad Sea God Palace are meant to help me develop in the Grand Unity Human Clan, but if my body and soul are destroyed, the content of my Heaven-Swallowing Space will likely be lost.’

Fortunately, he realized this early.

As long as he could establish the Divine Soul Kingdom and store everything inside, he would lose none of these resources.

’The establishment of the Divine Soul Kingdom is of vital importance. Since that is the case, time to begin,’ Vaan quickly decided.

With the Power of Thought and an endless supply of soul essence from the Astral Soul Realm, carving out a Divine Soul Kingdom in his original soul seemed simple.

It was just a matter of thought and supply.

However, such an unstructured method was inefficient, consuming more soul power and time. Even the quality of the Divine Soul Kingdom might be affected if he truly formed it with just brute force.

Since the Divine Soul Kingdom was essential to his future developments, it couldn’t be approached half-heartedly.

The Power of Thought could warp reality, create something that didn’t exist, or even alter existing laws.

However, the more it conflicted with the world’s governing laws, the more soul power it would take to realize. On the other hand, if it conformed to the existing laws, the consumption of soul power would be optimized. ṝâℕΟＢƐŜ

’I’ll utilize Soul Runes to establish my Divine Soul Kingdom,’ Vaan quickly decided.

The Power of Runes has stood the test of time, and even the Rune Laws have existed since the primordial beginning. It could be considered one of the earliest and most ancient languages.

Using Soul Runes to build the Divine Soul Kingdom was like piecing together specific, unique building blocks without leaving any gaps. Among myriads of Soul Runes, he had to connect the correct Soul Runes to form a complete and operating system

’Ah, coding, the bane of my existence.’ Vaan suddenly recalled his past life on Earth.

Connecting Soul Runes was just like coding. The correct combination would produce a working function, while an incorrect one would not.

Those who understood it well would naturally excel at it, even find it simple, while those who didn’t would have a miserable time. If they didn’t have a complete understanding, then struggles would be inevitable.

Vaan recalled the times when he successfully wrote functioning codes but didn’t dare to edit them because then they wouldn’t work anymore. All it took was a single error to collapse the entire system.

Moreover, it would then become a headache trying to find that one error.

’Fortunately, I am peerless in this life. It won’t be an issue for me to create a firm Divine Soul Kingdom from Soul Runes,’ Vaan smiled confidently.

However, as Vaan reviewed the myriad Soul Runes he needed to connect to establish a Divine Soul Kingdom in his original soul, his confident smile gradually turned awkward.

Although the direction was clear, he had no idea how to start.

Vaan had forgotten that he couldn’t utilize his unparalleled computational prowess in the Astral Soul Realm. In this astral plane, he was just an ordinary person. No, he was actually just a dumb fuck.

’Ahem, it seems I can only start on my next visit.’

Vaan realized he needed to return to reality before he could design the complete system of Soul Runes for the Divine Soul Kingdom. Once he returned to the Astral Soul Realm with such knowledge, only then could he begin.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn’t feel like returning to reality just for the Divine Soul Kingdom’s schematics. Since he was already in the Astral Soul Realm, he might as well focus on other objectives that he could complete right now.

’I really should cultivate now.’

Compared to designing the Divine Soul Kingdom’s Soul Rune Schematics, Soul Cultivation was much simpler.

After all, he already had a complete Heaven-rank Soul Cultivation Technique.
