Chapter 789 A Deeper Understanding Of The Soul

The eye above vanished silently as if it was nothing but a mirage revealing a sky that seemed almost too wide and filled with multiple worlds with various bright colors, some of them so massive that they almost took an entire section of the horizon, but he did not look at these fantastic sights, his gaze focused on what lay ahead and once again he fell to his knees in shock.

Cornelius heard a dull sound beside him, dimly aware that the woman too had collapsed. Their size was so massive that every movement from them caused the earth to shake. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

"What are those?" he whispered.

Inside his head, he heard a single word, "Power!"

"Are we to choose?" he heard the woman beside him mutter aloud.

It took some time before he nodded, "I think that's the idea. There is so much here, how do we make the right choice?"

"Is it not obvious that you go to the one where your heart draws you towards? I think I will go for that one," She pointed into the distance and her body faded away. In the distance, Cornelius saw a brilliant flash of light from the position that the woman had selected. He braced himself as a wave of power erupted from that position and pushed him a few hundred feet back.

Cornelius grinned, "So, this is what it's like to become a god."

Following instincts, he pointed at his choice and everything faded to black as he embraced power.

Rowan watched the two survivors of his experiment as they walked towards the area for their ascension. The process of making a god was easy and incredibly complicated, but Rowan had the ability to create the right conditions to make it all possible.

He had various methods he could use but he has opted for a new and experimental process which should reap him the most rewards. It would lead to an incredible waste of resources if he were to fail this experiment.

However, his experiments had worked and he had benefited greatly from it, although the losses were far greater than he expected on the number of survivors that made it through the process, clearly, he had overestimated the tenacity of mortals.

On second thought, he realized that even with all his powers, creating a god was a feat that was so difficult and went against the natural order that gaining two gods from a thousand mortals was already a trillion times more efficient than what the universe was capable of.

This experiment was essentially mimicking a bit of how Rowan had hypothesized that the universe created Immortals. Rowan realized that since he was now a Dimension, he should think of himself like a universe.

As he had told Circe, for any Immortal—be they gods, Arch mages, or Demons, what gave them the ability to live what was considered to be forever, was their Immortal Soul.

With his countless experiments on gods and mortals and having devoured untold billions of souls at this point he had discovered some fundamental differences between the souls of a mortal and an Immortal.

If he wanted to be able to easily create gods disregarding the constraints of a bloodline, then he needed to understand the process of how a mortal soul transforms into an immortal soul. He needed to understand all the distinctions between them.

When he understood it, he could then change it.

He had made great progress in the study of the soul, but the true breakthrough in his understanding of this difference was when he acquired Soul Origin.
