102: Chapter 100 True Spirit Erosion

Inside the top-floor suite, feeling the unprecedented sense of Perfection coming from the Prajna Heart Lamp, the corners of Lin Yan's mouth slowly curved into an arc.

He felt not a shred of surprise in his heart at being able to so easily take back this long-lost portion of "power".

Because this was already a destined inevitability the moment he learned of its existence in the Extreme North.

This strand of "power" originally belonged to him; it was an existence with an owner.

The reason it was lost back then was simply because, in order to help Lin Yan achieve Rebirth through Reincarnation, it deeply invaded the Origin of the plane and the Universe, causing all connections to be temporarily wiped away.

And once they "met" again, with the clear guidance of Karma, those severed connections would naturally reconnect on their own.

By that moment, no matter, energy, or even Law could prevent its return.

Because its status level was simply too high—so high that all things in the world were completely unqualified to block its path of return.

Giving the figure below another faint glance, Lin Yan completely withdrew his gaze and casually closed the window.

At the same time, that fleeting glance flashed through Luo Ye's mind down on the street, and a trace of inexplicable unease welled up from the bottom of his heart, unconsciously accelerating his pace.

Sinking his consciousness into his Spirit Sea and fully receiving the information fed back from the Prajna Heart Lamp, Lin Yan made a decision after a little thought.

Regarding this newly returned one-third strand of "power", there were two choices placed before him at present.

The first was to wash away the traits it had already solidified, re-integrating it into the Prajna Heart Lamp to sublimate the heart lamp.

The second was to keep everything unchanged and temporarily retain its existing traits and abilities.

However, while these looked like two options, they could actually be completely accommodated at the same time.

Anyway, washing away the traits had no time limit—if he truly needed to sublimate the heart lamp in the future, it wouldn't be too late to wash this portion of "power" and integrate it then.

Right now, it was better to keep its functional traits for the time being.

After all, the ability of "Q&A" was quite useful for now.

Besides, the erosion of Luo Ye had not yet been completely finished.

Lying down on the lounge chair by the window, Lin Yan casually took out a rectangular thin crystal plate from his storage spirit tool.

With a slight thought, that one-third strand of "power" abruptly attached itself into the crystal. Amidst the flowing light and shadows, he began leisurely browsing his "phone".

Although the information stored in this portion of "power" could be directly browsed with consciousness, it still didn't feel quite the same as this. Consider it a way to reminisce about the "far ahead" of his past life.

[ True Spirit Erosion Rate: 91% ]

Seeing this number, Lin Yan nodded slightly.

It was indeed almost identical to his previous judgment.

Although the erosion was not yet completely finished, it was already close at hand.

As for what True Spirit erosion was?

This was the most primary and vicious price that Luo Ye had to pay over all these years for borrowing that one-third strand of "power" belonging to him.

Compared to the supreme status level of that "power" itself, humans were simply too insignificant.

This caused Luo Ye, during the process of long-term contact and use, to be unintentionally eroded and assimilated by that portion of "power" at every moment.

What was even more fatal was that, because this erosion occurred at the True Spirit level, before his cultivation was sufficient to touch the True Spirit, and before he was completely eroded, the eroded person would not notice a single trace of it at all.

And naturally, they would not generate any thoughts of stopping or staying away.

Compared to erosion at the Physical Body and Soul levels, erosion at the True Spirit level was truly terrifying enough to make one despair.

If the Physical Body was eroded, at worst he could just change into a different body.

If the Soul was eroded, it at most meant death. After a person died, the True Spirit would undergo Reincarnation; by then, consciousness would be wiped away, all past Karma would vanish, and the erosion would naturally dissolve.

But if it was erosion at the True Spirit level, it would last for life after life, never to be obliterated!

Even if one died and started over, the next life would not remember a shred of this lifetime—

Even if one reincarnated as a man, a woman, a bird, a beast, or vegetation… this erosion would still not weaken by even a fraction.

As for what consequences there would be after being completely eroded?

The moment the True Spirit was completely eroded, Luo Ye's True Spirit would completely degenerate into an appendage of that "power".

And he as a person would consequently become Lin Yan's "living Puppet" for life after life, never to betray him!

The so-called living Puppet was a living person who possessed an independent Soul, consciousness, and emotions, looking no different from a normal person, yet taking Lin Yan's will as their highest command.

Furthermore, after the erosion was complete, if necessary, Lin Yan could even take over his shell at any time and use it as an Incarnation.

And since that "power" would erode the True Spirit, would Lin Yan himself be eroded?

The answer was naturally—no.

Although Lin Yan still hadn't completely figured out the Origins and background of that "power".

He didn't know if this "power" was born because of his Transmigration, or if this "power" existed first, allowing him to transmigrate with an undying True Spirit and an unextinguished consciousness.

Nor did he know what its essence actually counted as.

But the fact right now was—between Lin Yan and it, starting from who knows when, the relationship had already become that of the controller and the controlled.

Although his Realm was currently too low and he could only perform simple domination and passive use of it, under this kind of relationship, erosion was naturally out of the question.

Otherwise, during the process of his Transmigration, in those nearly endless years, he would have long been completely eroded.

Finishing looking at the erosion rate, Lin Yan continued to scroll down, reviewing all the usage records of that portion of "power" by Luo Ye over the years.

...

As Lin Yan's fingertips slowly slid, all of Luo Ye's past usage records were instantly laid bare before him.

And through these questions and replies, Lin Yan also roughly pieced together Luo Ye's complete life trajectory over these years.

Of course, the records did not end here.

Flipping further back, as Luo Ye's strength increased day by day, his ambition swelled more and more, and what he plotted became larger and larger!
