After that, Baiyi told the Voidwalkers about the sudden inspiration that came to him.
From a theoretical point of view, a complete soul should be composed of self-consciousness and a container that carried the consciousness. Only then could it be called a soul. The soul in front of him only had a container but no consciousness. It was like a computer that had just come out and lacked an operating system.
Baiyi's plan was to use the same secret technique he used on the hammerhead shark plushie to infuse a consciousness into the soul, just like installing a system in a computer. Then, he would stuff the soul into an armor or something. This way, he would be able to achieve a higher degree of Pseudo-Descent.
As mentioned earlier, the reason why Baiyi could only allow the Voidwalkers to enter the plushie was because the amount of consciousness and soul he could provide was not enough to power a large item like the armor. But now, that problem could be solved. The soul container left behind by the Holy-level powerhouse was powerful enough. All Baiyi needed to do was to use the consciousness that was only enough to power the plushie to power the soul container. Then, he would use the soul to power the armor, just like how a chuunibyou teenager drove a giant robot.
At the same time, the soul container itself could store mana, combat chi, and other kinds of energy. These energies were stored in a person's body when they were alive, and when the person died, they would enter the soul container together with their consciousness. This was why the summoned Soul Armature would have the same strength as when he was alive, and the soul container itself was an excellent container for storing energy.
This way, all Baiyi needed to do was continue to infuse energy into the soul container and use it to power the armor. Then, the armor would be able to unleash a considerable amount of combat power. It would also be able to move freely, and it would not need to be equipped with a complicated energy supply system like the plushie.
Another interesting point was that the soul of a Holy-level powerhouse was more than enough to power a single armor. Baiyi could try to split the soul into parts and infuse them into other armors. Then, with the help of the Pseudo-Descent secret technique, he would be able to summon several Voidwalkers at the same time!
However, the principle behind the Pseudo-Descent technique was not to allow the Voidwalkers to descend into the real world with their consciousness. Instead, Baiyi had to split a portion of his consciousness to allow the other Voidwalkers to control the power of the Voidwalkers. The stronger the Voidwalker's consciousness, the more power the Voidwalker would be able to wield. Thus, a small amount of consciousness was enough to allow the armor to move freely, but for the armor to be able to unleash a certain amount of combat power, the Voidwalker's consciousness had to be strong enough.
Based on Baiyi's estimation, if he were to divide his consciousness into two, the newly-arrived Walker would at least have the combat power of an Immortal-level Walker. If he were to divide his consciousness into three, he would be able to maintain the combat power of a Legendary-level Walker. If he were to divide his consciousness into five, he would be able to move freely.
If a Holy-level fighter's soul were to be completely dismantled, it would be much more than this. However, Baiyi's consciousness, which was in the real world, was only a small part of his body in the Void, so this was the best he could do.
Being able to drive and being able to control were two completely different concepts. It was just like how a mech pilot, a captain pilot, and a human stick pilot could use the same giant robot differently.
Of course, this number was not absolute. Perhaps he could find other opportunities in the future to allow more consciousness to descend into the real world.
As for the issue of safety, there was no need to worry about it. Whether it was the control of the soul or the supply of power, Baiyi had complete control over the entire system. He did not have to worry about the Voidwalkers having second thoughts. The Voidwalkers were from different factions, and they were only united by a common goal. No one could guarantee that they would not have second thoughts.
Of course, Baiyi's idea was approved by almost all the Voidwalkers. Being able to descend into a suit of armor, even if it was a pseudo-descent, was a huge breakthrough. It was much better than being able to enter a fluffy, adorable doll, right?
However, approval was one thing, and the specific implementation was not that simple. It involved a lot of technical things, such as how to split the soul, how to inject the soul into the armor with a higher efficiency, and optimize the Descent secret technique so that the Walker had more room to play, and a series of other problems that needed to be solved.
Fortunately, the Voidwalkers were not afraid of such technical issues. The Lich, who was previously disheartened, had regained his enthusiasm. He immediately gathered the demons, apprentices, and other people who had some knowledge of souls to form a team to solve the problem. The Archmage had also begun to discuss how to optimize the secret technique of descent. The entire Void was suddenly filled with the aura of academia.
"Come to think of it, what if I use this soul for my own use instead of using it for others?" Baiyi thought to himself. He had another way of using this soul.
The soul of a Holy-level powerhouse could contain a lot of energy. With the addition of the God-tier, tight-fitting leather suit and the domineering Void Energy, Baiyi believed that his combat prowess would increase by leaps and bounds. He might even be able to break free from the limitations of his combat prowess. The twenty percent of energy that he had stored outside the realm could be put to better use, and he would no longer be restricted like he was now. The leather suit and the soul container should be able to withstand that portion of energy.
However, Baiyi did not propose this idea right away. His current combat prowess was more than enough, and he needed more help. Whether it was to fight or to become a teacher at an academy in the future, it was more meaningful than simply improving his combat prowess. He did not need to risk his life fighting anyone.
Besides, these two methods were not necessarily contradictory. If the Lich Walker's research continued, he would be able to disassemble and fuse the soul at any time. Then, he would be able to use it more flexibly. He could disassemble it when he needed help, and he could fuse it when he needed combat prowess. That would be the best of both worlds.
"Speaking of which, the loot I got this time is pretty good. It suits my needs quite well. It makes me feel like this is a design that focuses on the user's experience, "Baiyi muttered to himself. Baiyi muttered to himself. Even though he was happy that he had gotten such a great harvest, he was still a little doubtful about the idea.
The collective consciousness that called itself the Tomb Keeper had said that it had inherited some kind of will and would help him. There must be some kind of arrangement that Baiyi did not know about. 'Is it the War God? Does he really think of me as his emissary? ' 'Could the Godsfall cult's erroneous assumption have turned out to be correct by a freak combination of factors?' Baiyi could not help but wonder.
After that, Baiyi stayed in the realm for another three days, using the excuse of healing Mia's wounds as an excuse. During that time, he tried to pry into the ants' secrets, but to no avail. The collective consciousness never appeared again.
Still, it was not as if he had gained nothing. He did learn a little more about the ants. For example, the ants were very friendly toward him, and they truly saw him as a friend. This moved Baiyi, and a new idea popped up in his head. He asked the ants if they could build an academy in this small realm.
Baiyi's original plan was to test the ants' attitude, but the ants agreed without hesitation. They even expressed their joy at having more friends.
"I thought you guys were against outsiders?" Baiyi asked curiously.
"The trial is over, and so is our mission. Now, all that's left is to help you," the ants replied.
'Isn't this the same as taking in a bunch of underlings? 'The rewards for this trial are so generous! And they're even paid in advance? How could they be so generous? ' Baiyi could not help but wonder.
'Honestly, this reward is a bit of a hot potato. According to the principle of equivalent exchange, you have to do as much as you want. Now that I've received so many rewards, I'm afraid I'll have to deal with the will that I still haven't figured out. Considering that the owner of the leather coat was a fallen god, Baiyi wondered if he was going to start a Divine War to avenge him. Baiyi could not help but have this thought pop up in his mind.
'Who cares? I'll just take the reward first. I'm not on good terms with the gods anyway, so I'll just wait and see.' Baiyi thought to himself.
These elusive ants were a great help in building an academy. What he needed most right now was manpower. With the help of these ants, at least the academy's future safety would be guaranteed. Just look at their terrifying claws and tails; they're really fighting creatures!
To be honest, this small realm was the perfect place to build his academy. The scenery was beautiful, the weather was warm, and there was no need to buy land, which saved him a lot of money. More importantly, there was no interference from other forces, especially without the influence of the Church, so Baiyi could have full control over the place. He had built the academy with the intention of spreading ideas that were not accepted by others, so this was the perfect place to build his academy. Other than the slight inconvenience of entering and exiting the place, there were almost no flaws.
Since he had already decided to build an academy here, Baiyi wanted to stay for a while longer to learn more about the place. However, his students kept clamoring to go home for Grace Day, and Mia's injuries were mostly healed. She had used the advanced healing theurgy that Laeticia had yet to master, so she could jump around and act cute. There was no reason for him to stay any longer.
