Angor had been wanting to ask this question for a long time.
Reincarnation in another's body was also known as possession. This did exist in the wizarding world as well. For example, "Imp" Gragg from Edge of Night borrowed the body of someone who had just died to be reborn. Now, he changed his name to Spivet and became Flora's subordinate.
Also, Greya lost her body in the Nightmare Realm, so she had to find the body of a young girl and temporarily use her consciousness as a parasite.
Both cases were considered reincarnation, but Gragg was a completely different person. Greya did not harm the girl's consciousness. She was just a parasite. When she found the body again, the girl could recover her consciousness.
Possession did exist in the wizarding world, but it was not common. It was not hard to understand why. Possession would only make you weaker, and it would not change you much.
There was no such thing as reaching the end of one's lifespan and seizing another's body. Wizards had all kinds of ways to prolong their lives. If they could not prevent death, their soul, spirit, and mind space would all be weakened to varying degrees.
Possession wouldn't change that.
Possession only meant taking someone else's body, not changing one's own soul.
Did the Crystaleye Race's possession break this rule? After taking over someone's body, he would be able to break through life insurance and continue to live in a new body?
This was something Angor could not figure out.
Gleipnir: "Your idea is not wrong. You just ignored the difference between humans and other long-lived races. "
Humans were very special in all the general planes. This was because only humans had the most balanced vital signs.
For example, if a human had a lifespan of 100 years, his physiological functions, soul, and spirit essence would all deteriorate along with him.
The three of them were perfectly balanced. There won't be any outstanding performance, and there won't be any performance that will drag you down. Therefore, a human's lifespan was the most realistic limit.
However, this was not the case for long-lived races.
Take the Crystaleye Race for example. They had a lifespan of 700 to 1,000 years. However, the "lifespan" here referred to the aging of their "physiological functions".
The soul and spirit of a Crystaleye Race did not reach their limits within 1,000 years.
Generally speaking, the Crystal Eye race's soul limit and Spirit Origin limit were both 3,000 years. If they could break through, they could extend their soul limit even further.
From this, it could be seen that the Crystal Eye Clan's physiological functions, soul state, and spiritual origin were different from those of human beings. They were completely unbalanced. Their physiological functions would reach their limits first, while their soul and spirit would be far from reaching their limits.
Because of this, the rebirth of the Crystal Eye Race could be considered a true rebirth.
Because taking over the body of the young man was equivalent to solving the problem of "physiological aging". The soul and spirit would also be reactivated in the new body.
They would have at least a thousand years of lifespan. As long as they could break through during this period, longevity would not be an unattainable dream.
"I see. "So the Longevity Clan is really different from humans … No wonder ordinary humans have such short lifespans," Angor sighed as he thought about it. "
As far as he knew, strengthening one's spirit and soul would help one's body.
The Longevity Clan's soul and mind were naturally strong. Thus, from the moment they were born, they had been nourishing their bodies. This might also be the reason why the Longevity Clan could live for so long …
"You don't need to feel sad for humans." Glepnir: "Judging from the results, humans are at a disadvantage in this competition of lifespan. But those Longevity Clans also envy the balance of human life. " "Huh?"
Angor was surprised. "What do you mean?" "Huh?"
Glepnir: "As I said before, humans are a very special race in the general plane. It's because of the Trinity of Equilibrium. This Equilibrium brought humans the disadvantage of being born with a short lifespan, but it also allowed them to break through their bottlenecks without much difficulty. "Huh?"
"You'll understand if you think about Tunita. As the greatest prophet of the Crystal Eye Race, he was able to control the Crystal Eye Race during his heyday.
How much resources and wealth did he have? The answer is countless. " "Huh?"
"But even with the support of this endless wealth, Tunita still could not break through the Crystal Dust barrier and enter the Crystal level. It was because the state of his soul and spirit origin were too powerful, completely beyond its control. "Huh?"
"The common problem of these Longevity Clans is that they can't break through their bottlenecks. Only a very small number of extraordinary geniuses can reach the level of powerhouses. And to reach the limit … is extremely difficult. "
However, it was different for humans. Although it was difficult to become a wizard, due to the balance of the trinity, most of the things that got stuck in the wizard's practice were "big barriers". For example, an apprentice could break through to become an official wizard, an official wizard could break through to become a true wizard, a true wizard could break through to become a legendary wizard … Normally, a wizard wouldn't be stuck for too long. Even if they were stuck at a small barrier, they could slowly wear it down with time.
Longevity Clans, on the other hand, faced the same problem no matter how big or small their bottlenecks were.
Therefore, even though the Longevity race had a naturally long lifespan, once they stepped onto the path of Transcendence, humans would usually have a higher upper limit than the Longevity race.
Angor nodded in understanding.
As he understood it, this was a kind of drinking and pecking.
The Longevity Clan had obtained benefits innately, but they had to pay a greater price in the future. If there really was a creator in this world, then this was the "fairness" planned by the creator?
"Fairness?" Hearing Angor's mumbling through the Spirit Bond, Guta Lace suddenly chuckled. "I don't know if there is a creator, but you're wrong to use this to talk about fairness. "
"Think about it. Whenever Gleipnir compared Longevity Clans with humans, he would always add 'universal' or 'most' in front. "
"In other words, there are a small number of Longevity Clans who are born with the Trinity of Equilibrium, just like humans." "What are these special Longevity Clans? I don't know. But I'm sure they exist. Gleipnir told me that. " "
Angor looked at Gleipnir, who nodded. "Yes. These Longevity Clans who are born with the Trinity of Equilibrium are rare, but they do exist. "
"But from a research point of view, we can mention these special cases, but we can't study them for everyone. Take humans for example. Humans are born with the Trinity of Equilibrium, but some of them are born with stronger spirit power, which is what you humans call supernaturals. There are also some who are born with natural talents, which is also a sign of strong spirit power and soul. "
"One case doesn't mean that it's universal. "
Angor nodded. Gleipnir was right. An example was completely different from a general example. But personally, Angor still envied these Longevity Clans who were born with the Trinity of Equilibrium.
Still, he wouldn't change his mind if Gleipnir asked him to do so.
These Longevity Clans only had a lower limit, but humans weren't that bad either.
"Let's go off topic again." Gutas looked at Gleipnir. "You haven't answered Luigi's question. How are you going to help Tower? "
"I haven't figured it out yet," Gleipnir replied. "But it's not impossible to take him away by force …" Gleipnir glanced at Laplace who was standing beside him.
As the host, she could easily use the power of her main body to take them away from Crystal City.
However, it would be a bit troublesome to deal with the aftermath. The spirit of the giant city had a mark on Tower, which meant it would know its location.
The mark had already become one with the tower, so even Laplace couldn't remove it. Still, it wasn't impossible.
Throwing the pagoda into the Sea of Empty Mirrors and waiting for the mark to be washed away, then pulling the pagoda out of the Sea of Empty Mirrors could be considered a different method. However, Tower would most likely become a Hollow Person.
Being a Hollow Person wasn't a good option, but it was better than being targeted by the Crystaleyes. However, this was the last resort, the last resort. There was no other way.
Gleipnir wouldn't do it if there was a better way.
The most extreme way was to do it. If Tower became a Hollow Person, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Shiluda.
"Actually, I have an idea." Angor suddenly spoke up. His words attracted everyone's attention.
"What is it?" Gutas asked directly. "Don't tell me you're going to open a passage from Crystal City to the real world and send Tower there …"
Angor didn't know what to say. That's your own idea, isn't it? But it's not impossible to send Tower to the real world.
Of course, Angor wasn't planning on running away from the problem.
He took a moment to organize his words. "I've asked about the nature of reincarnation, and now I have a general idea. To put it simply, it's the possession of one's spirit and soul. "Yes.
"This means that Tunita's spirit and soul are preserved inside the so-called 'Holy Corpse Crystal'. "Yes."
The others nodded in agreement. They didn't know how it was done, but it was probably the effect of the ritual that allowed the crystal to preserve the spirit and soul of the deceased for a long time.
"What is the core of the spirit and soul that can be possessed? The answer is consciousness. "Yes.
"If the consciousness inside the crystal doesn't exist in the first place, and there's only the spirit and soul left, then the possession won't work. "Yes."
Gutas didn't understand what Angor was trying to say, but Luigi, Gleipnir, and Laplace did.
What was the thing that entered the Dream Crystal through the log-in device? It was consciousness. The body that appeared in the Dream Crystal was the body of consciousness.
Even if one's soul and spirit were shattered, as long as the consciousness that contained all of one's memories and emotions still existed, it could be manifested in the Dream Crystal.
This was how the natives of the Dream Wasteland and the Dream Crystal came to be.
Their bodies in the real world were already dead, and their souls had already entered the Ultimate. However, their consciousness was dragged into the Dream Crystal and formed into a new body.
This was how natives worked.
Similarly, the reason why the spirit and soul of a Crystal Eye could be possessed was because of the consciousness. If Tunita's consciousness was dragged into the Dream Crystal from the very beginning, then the Holy Corpse Crystal in the real world would be useless.
It would be impossible to possess Tunita's body.
Also, the inheritance obtained through the Holy Corpse Crystal would most likely be useless. The inheritance would contain memories, and memories were closely related to one's consciousness. If one's consciousness left, the inheritance would be gone.
However, the talent of the spirit and soul could be passed on. But this was only a guess. The only thing they were sure of was that once the consciousness left, the possession wouldn't work.
"It's a good idea," Luigi said. Luigi was the first to affirm, but his affirmation was not important. Everyone ignored him.
Laplace was the second to speak. She also agreed with Angor's suggestion, but there were still many details to be worked out.
Glepnir went straight to the point. "It's a good idea. But how are you going to let Tunita's consciousness enter the Dream Crystal?" "Alright."
Angor answered Glepnir's question in a low voice. "Isn't that something you should be thinking about?" It took Gleipnir a while to come back to his senses. Angor was right …
It didn't matter to him whether he could save Rita or not, or whether Rita was possessed or not. The only person who cared about Rita was Glepnir and herself.
Angor's suggestion was much better than Glepnir's own idea, which was more than enough for Glepnir.
As for how to solve the problem, it was up to Glepnir to figure it out himself. Glepnir nodded. "You're right. That's something I should consider. "
After a pause, Gleipnir began to share his opinion. "In my opinion, there are only two ways for Tunita's consciousness to enter the Dream Crystal. "
"First, let's get in touch with Tunita's corpse crystal.
Let's let his consciousness enter the Dream Crystal. "
"But there are several problems with this method. As far as I know, Tunita's corpse crystal is placed in a forbidden area. Outsiders can't enter. Not even Crystaleye Clansmen have the right to enter the forbidden area. "
"Also, the spirit of the giant city is another problem. It's even more difficult to sneak into the forbidden area under the watch of the spirit. "
Glepnir personally didn't recommend getting in touch with the corpse crystal. So there was only the second option left.
"Second, let's send Tunita's consciousness into the Dream Crystal before Tunita's body is possessed. "
"But there are also problems with this method. Tunita is carrying the greatest prophet of Crystaleye Clansmen. When Tunita enters the Dream Crystal, there will be many people watching him. He might not be able to complete the whole process under everyone's eyes. "
"Outsiders can't enter the ritual, and we can't help Tunita either. "
In short, both methods had major flaws, which were what Laplace called "minor flaws that needed to be dealt with urgently."
If Graepnir had to choose, she would personally lean towards the second option.
The first option had more variables, while the second option had a higher chance of success as long as Tunita didn't break down on its own.
Glepnir looked up at the others. "What do you think?" She was looking at everyone, but she still cared about Angor the most.
Angor was the one who came up with the idea, and she needed Angor's help to make it work. He really wanted to know what Angor thought of the two plans.
