The necklace left behind by his mother released a bright light again, reflecting the sky full of stars.
The Star River Chessboard did not have a fixed time, so Han Lang stopped thinking about the game and looked up to observe.
Without a doubt, it was a Star Map.
It seemed that this strange necklace would always appear in the form of a Star Map. The last time the necklace was activated, it gave Han Lang and his friends a rare foothold in the Cursed Land. The Blue Lake made Han Lang and his friends' strength increase rapidly. There might not be a better place for cultivation in the entire Cursed Land.
This time, it was at the end of Han Lang's Star River Chessboard. If he won, Han Lang would get the Gold Grimoire. If he lost, Han Lang's soul would be destroyed. This was a more crucial point than finding a place for cultivation!
"There must be a special meaning for it to be activated at this time," Han Lang muttered to himself.
He started to ignore the changes in the chess game and focused on observing the Star Map.
Just like the stars in the universe, the starry sky could actually move. If one observed carefully, they would notice the complicated movement of the Star Map. The countless stars were like a flowing river …
.....
After some time, Han Lang finally came back to his senses. He let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Oh, I see …"
As Han Lang sighed, the Star Map disappeared without a trace. Han Lang closed his eyes and no longer looked at the chessboard of the Star River Chessboard.
With a light wave of his finger, Han Lang casually plucked a chess piece from the chessboard. He muttered to himself, "So I've been wrong all along. The Star River Chessboard is just like the Milky Way. My biggest mistake was to predict it with common sense. The reason why the Milky Way and the universe are immortal is because they are existences that can never be predicted!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Lang stood up and took another chess piece from the chessboard.
"If I follow this logic, the so-called Star River Chessboard does not test my chess skills or judgment. What it really tests is my character!"
Swoosh!
As his fingers moved, the third chess piece disappeared.
Han Lang no longer followed the so-called rules. They were all his own imagination. The Star River Chessboard did not say there were rules at the beginning. He just wanted Han Lang to play!
This was a classic cognitive trap!
When a normal person saw a chess game, regardless of whether they understood it or not, they would always feel that there must be rules in the game, because all the chess games they played since they were young had rules.
However, this galaxy chessboard imitated the universe. How could there be rules in the universe?
Han Lang almost lost. Fortunately, the necklace appeared in time and gave him an important hint.
At this moment, Han Lang already understood that this chess game wasn't a test of one's chess skills, but a test of him as a person! If he cared about winning or losing the chess game, then he would have truly lost!
Whoosh ~
Whoosh ~
Whoosh ~
Han Lang's hand speed became faster and faster. He quickly plucked the few remaining chess pieces from the board. His eyes were still closed, and all the pieces he chose were random.
Han Lang laughed. His mind was open, and his heart was free from the reins!
Whoosh ~
When the last chess piece was taken by Han Lang, the galaxy chessboard that had trapped him for many days completely collapsed! It no longer existed!
This test sounded simple. Whoever could see through the nonexistent rules would win! Whoever dared to overturn the fixed way of thinking would obtain a Gold Grimoire!
Crack ~
A golden lightning flashed in front of him, shattering the original world and presenting a new continent to Han Lang!
There was a big tree on the lush green grassland. It was taller and thicker than the tree of the Tree God Clan.
The big tree waved its branches to welcome Han Lang's arrival. It said in an ancient and desolate voice, "Congratulations, you have obtained the right to inherit the Gold Grimoire."
Han Lang smiled and said, "I was almost tricked by you, you old fox. Galaxy chessboard? Galaxy my ass! That damned chess game is a win, and a win is also a loss! You cheated me so much! "
The big tree said in a deep voice, "It's not a cheat."
"Then what is it?" Han Lang asked.
"It's a test." The big tree explained calmly, "Soul is a type of super power. It's an advancement of the normal energy system. The Gold Grimoire can help you create a super level soul power."
"It's fine if it's a normal soul power, but a super level soul power requires a person to have a transcendent temperament. If you can't jump out of the chessboard, how can you prove that you can transcend the mortal world and break the rules?"
"The strongest soul will never be bound by any rules."
Han Lang curled his lips and said, "That makes sense. The inheritor of the Gold Grimoire you are looking for needs to be different from the others. He needs to be more courageous and not be bound by the rules. However, was the last inheritor of the Gold Grimoire, Xiao Tianlang, such a person? As far as I know, Xiao Tianlang seems to be quite approachable. "
The big tree laughed and said, "Of course. Xiao Tianlang could have conquered this cursed land, but he chose to remain silent. He even spared no effort to help those normal tribes draw a star chart that others don't even dare to think about. Isn't this transcendence? Isn't this breaking the rules? If it was someone else, why would he help those tribes if he had the strength? Isn't it better to conquer them? "
"This …" Han Lang was speechless and said, "Xiao Tianlang might be a little different from the others."
The big tree continued, "Of course he's different. Every inheritor of the Gold Grimoire is different!"
"Do you know? Xiao Tianlang can be immortal, but he chose to let himself die naturally. He chose to die of old age. "
"As a warrior with astonishing talent, the life that Xiao Tianlang chose for himself was to read books, not to cultivate or fight."
"Speaking of which, you should understand that Xiao Tianlang is different. He is reserved. If it was someone else, they would have conquered the world long ago. But he chose to live an ordinary life, read books, and then die of old age like a mortal."
Han Lang was suddenly enlightened and said: "This Howling Firmament Wolf, he really is an anomaly! He has the ability to be immortal, but he chose to die of old age? If it was me, I wouldn't do it. As the saying goes, it's better to live than to die well. "
He smiled and asked the big tree, "I haven't asked for your name yet. Who are you?"
The big tree said, "I am the guardian of the Gold Grimoire, Jay. As for the Gold Grimoire, you already know that it is actually a cultivation space. And this cultivation space is inside my body."
After saying that, Jay slowly turned around. On the other side of his huge body, there was a dark tree hole. No one knew what was hidden inside.
Han Lang asked, "If I want to cultivate the power of my soul, I have to enter your body?"
"That's right." Jay said, "I will accompany you to cultivate and give you pointers. That was the setting."
"Who set it?" Han Lang asked curiously.
"The Gold Family." Jay replied.
"The Gold Family? I heard that this family isn't good people. "Han Lang suddenly said.
Jay said calmly, "The Gold Family is made up of many different branches, including tens of thousands of lineages. They are all different, but they are all members of the Gold Family. The only difference is their status."
"In the family, the highest status is the Gold Spirit. Other than having the golden bloodline, they can also transform into human form due to genetic mutation or long years of cultivation."
"In the era I know, the Gold Family has already split into two factions. One faction believes that the Gold Family is the noblest bloodline in the dark side of the universe and should rule the world."
"The other faction I serve believes that we should live in peace with intelligent beings of other bloodlines. The only difference between the Gold Family is our bloodline. It's just that we are evolved from different spores. That's all."
Han Lang smiled and said, "Then it's the peace faction and the war faction? It seems like all intelligent beings are the same. There are good people and bad people everywhere in the world. "
"That's right." Jay said solemnly, "As someone who doesn't have the Gold Bloodline, you can still inherit the Gold Code. That's because our faction believes in peace. We won't reject you just because your bloodline is different from the Gold Family and is red."
"It seems like you quite admire the Gold Family." Han Lang smiled.
Jay shook his head and said, "I just admire the peace faction in the Gold Family. I am a spirit plant race, and we naturally love peace. I will help whoever advocates peace."
Han Lang waved his hand and said, "Unfortunately, I am not the peace faction. If anyone offends me, I will definitely bite them back. This should be the revenge faction, right?"
Jay said solemnly, "Unfortunately, you are not a peace faction. But I am only responsible for teaching you soul power and bringing you to cultivate. I don't care about anything else. Let's begin. Let's start the first lesson. I will show you what the soul is. Come into my body."
Han Lang nodded and walked into the pitch-black tree hole with great interest.
Not long after he walked into the tree hole, he realized that he could no longer find the entrance. Countless stars lit up in the darkness, forming galaxies, star fields, and star rivers. It was as if Jay's body was hiding a universe.
In this huge star river, a small white thing quietly came. It was a spore that brought life to the universe.
Very quickly, the first spore split into countless colorful spores. These spores continued to split, becoming more and more, scattering throughout the universe.
At the same time, Jay's voice sounded.
"The reason why the creator of the Gold Grimoire added this video was because he firmly believed that since all life originated from the same spore, then all life should be equal. No matter a person, a Star Beast, or even a weed, they all have the same origin. He hoped that everyone who entered the Gold Grimoire to learn would remember this principle and try to avoid killing each other. No matter how strong or weak a life is, it all has its own value."
Jay continued to talk, explaining how life was born in the universe. The green spores became plants, the red spores evolved into human-like lifeforms with red bloodlines, the black spores possessed the power of darkness, and the golden spores created the golden bloodline.
This was like the opening of a movie. Although Han Lang was watching it seriously, he did not really care.
Han Lang did not care about species. Even non-living creatures like robots could be used by Han Lang and become his brothers, not to mention other lifeforms.
What Han Lang cared about were friends. Even a weed could become Han Lang's friend. Han Lang would not look down on him. When he needed help, Han Lang would do his best to help him, even at the cost of his life.
Han Lang's values had already been formed. Did Jay hope that by watching the video of the origin of life, he would become a philanthropist? That was impossible. In Han Lang's eyes, a friend was a friend, an enemy was an enemy. He had to make a clear distinction.
The video ended very quickly. Jay began to explain to Han Lang what the soul was.
In summary, the soul was a kind of spiritual energy. When one's intelligence reached a certain level, one would have obsession.
Even if a person focused on being a foodie, as long as his foodie spirit was strong enough, it would transform into an invisible energy and eventually become a foodie's soul.
This kind of explanation made it easy for Han Lang to understand the path of spiritual energy becoming a soul. There was no other reason, it was just persistence.
Mental power was the primary stage. If a person's wife and child were killed, they would become very angry and their heart would be filled with resentment. When people walked past this person, they would clearly feel his anger and killing intent. This was the primary stage of mental power.
Under the control of anger and resentment, the person who lost his wife and child would take revenge. At this time, he would be filled with an inexplicable energy. When the enemy slashed him, he would not feel any pain. There was no other thought in his heart except for revenge. This was the increase in combat strength brought by the primary stage of spiritual energy.
Han Lang had experienced the same situation before. When his life was on the line many times, was it his Origin Energy Index that allowed Han Lang to survive?
No, it was his obsession. It was the obsession in his heart that drove him to become more tenacious. That was why he survived.
From this, one could see that spiritual energy was actually very terrifying. It could make a person forget about life and death.
Moreover, spiritual energy was different from Origin Energy. Origin Energy was tangible and could be measured by machines. A person's Origin Energy level determined how many stars they had and what level of warrior they were.
Spiritual energy was invisible and could not be measured. However, it was precisely this kind of immeasurable power that greatly improved a warrior.
During a battle, although the warriors on this side were at a disadvantage, their spiritual energy would explode and they would win against the strong. This was a strange phenomenon that could not be explained by any calculation system. They were obviously the weaker side and their tactics were not advanced, but they would still laugh at the end.
After explaining the power of spiritual energy, Jay said in a deep voice, "The fact that you were chosen to inherit the Gold Grimoire means that your spiritual energy is naturally strong. However, this is not the power of the soul. What I want to teach you is to train and improve your spiritual energy to the level of soul power."
Han Lang asked excitedly, "I have a friend who is already dead, but he still retains a strange spiritual energy. My other friend placed this spiritual energy in a body made of fibers and he actually came back to life. Is this the power of the soul?"
Jay said, "From what you said, it is definitely the power of the soul. This friend of yours is very powerful. His soul has already reached the level of immortality."
"Usually, what we mean by immortality is physical. If the Origin Energy Index is high enough, the cells and tissues can be constantly replaced and maintained forever. They may age, but they will never die. The dandruff on your head is proof of cell replacement. The new cells replace the old ones, and the old ones are expelled from the body."
"However, this kind of immortality has a huge flaw, and that is that the body will always die. Maybe it will be killed by other experts, or maybe it will be killed by laser cannons."
"The soul will not. The soul is not a physical body. It can't be seen or touched, but it is extremely powerful!"
"There are two big advantages to having the power of the soul. One is a huge increase in battle power, and the other is true immortality! Even if the body dies, the soul will still exist. After tens of thousands of years, the soul will still find the enemy and take revenge for itself! It will never, ever, ever, ever die! "
"This is the power of the soul!"
"What I am going to teach you is not so much about the power of the soul, but rather, about immortality!"
