Chapter 2094 - 1655: Can Soul Contact Really Be Severed?

Chapter 2094: Chapter 1655: Can Soul Contact Really Be Severed?

A human head thought for a moment and said, "Alright, we don’t have anyone skilled in intelligence gathering and analysis here, so it’s a rare good thing to have someone proficient in this area. However, whether they can be absorbed into the Nether River Council will depend on their abilities. If they’re not up to standard, I won’t vote in favor."

The other heads also chimed in one after another, saying, "Me too, me too."

With her mouth, Kerani said, "Of course, you can decide by voting." But secretly, she chuckled to herself: These Living Dead actually think of the Nether River Council as their own.

The Nether River Council naturally refers to a so-called highest decision-making body formed by these Living Dead.

God Stars are actually highly intelligent individuals with little creativity. You can have them calculate the trajectories of celestial bodies, record the flickering of Star Maps over thousands of years, and rapidly exchange various information, but they cannot create things that don’t exist in the Void.

Even the Star Descendants they nurture take shape by referencing all life forms in the Incremental Cycle, piecing together corresponding individuals.

If the individual is not part of the entire Incremental Cycle, they also cannot create something new.

Lacking creativity, it’s rare to see God Stars with unique skills in the Void. Most battles between God Stars rely on their large mass.

However, battles between God Stars are also rare due to the great distances between them.

Having come into the outer Void, people have seen relatively innovative combat methods, one being Morania’s Starfall Legion and another being Kerani’s Kela’s Arrow.

Kela’s Arrow was created by these Living Dead in the Nether River Council.

Kerani deliberately collected these intelligent life forms and parasitized them with parasitic plants, utilizing their intellectual resources to make up for her lack of creativity.

This is essentially a form of enslavement, yet Kerani creates the illusion that the Nether River Council is the highest authority.

However, here all the Living Dead can only move their consciousness, able to think yet unable to leave this patch of parasitic plants. Even their perception of the outside world is an illusion created by the parasitic plants.

They themselves think they are in a bright conference hall, over a hundred people sitting on a circular high platform, with Kerani standing at the lowest position reporting to them. This is their perception of the Nether River Council. In reality, they are all encapsulated in bark here, only a head exposed.

Kerani chuckled a few times, then turned her thoughts to her own body where the silver coin was located.

The silver coin was reporting the situation to Anthony in the Soul Network: "Lord Anthony, it seems the other side didn’t fall for it. Although they strengthened the search in your direction, they didn’t give up on other directions either."

Anthony said, "I’ve noticed too. This Kerani is not easy to deceive; his behavior patterns go beyond normal planetary scopes. You’ve been around him for so long, do you understand his way of thinking?"

"I’ve recently learned that they have a highest decision-making body called the Nether River Council, from which almost all orders are issued," said the silver coin.

"Nether River Council? Which Nether River?" Anthony asked in surprise.

"The same Nether River as the Death World, where souls wander. You think it’s strange too, right?" said the silver coin.

When I first heard the name, the silver coin felt it was strange, like a bug that wouldn’t survive winter. Their language definitely lacks descriptions like winter and snow.

A species without death naturally wouldn’t have descriptions or vocabulary about death, let alone name their highest decision-making body after it.

Therefore, a name filled with themes of death would only be thought up by creatures like us that experience death.

Although Kerani is associated with Life Species and Star Descendants, Star Descendants do not experience death, or rather, do not die normally. How could they have concepts like Death World and Nether River?

This means that the person who came up with this name must be from the Life Species. But in the Void, Life Species is the lowest existence, so how could they name the highest decision-making body?

Is it possible that the God Stars have no concept of naming, so they chose this name? Or does the Nether River Council not actually serve as a decision-making organ?

Anthony said, "In any case, since it’s a name with a Life Species style, let’s hypothesize using a Life Species way of thinking."

Continuing, Anthony rubbed his hands together and said, "That’s even better; I’ve been dealing with these slow-witted God Stars for too long, my brain was starting to devolve."

"Since the other side might be using a Life Species style to think, your behavior might be a bit too conspicuous now. If it were me, I definitely would not have overlooked someone gathering intelligence in my territory," Anthony reminded.

The silver coin nodded, "Yes, it is a bit conspicuous. Generally, God Stars wouldn’t understand the usefulness of this information I’m collecting. But if the other side is Life Species, then the information I’m gathering breaks taboos, as it’s all their logistics data."

"How many Star Descendants went out, and how many returned? The furthest distance traveled? It’s a pity that Star Descendants don’t consume food; otherwise, you could calculate how many went out by food consumption," the silver coin lamented.

Anthony sighed, "You’ve already done amazingly well. Every God Star’s world is a closed circle, and methods that work on other God Stars may not work here. You’ve managed to uncover the name of their highest decision-making body in such a short time — that’s impressive."

"But your level of danger is increasing now, so you better come back. You can always leave a White Crystal there to pinpoint the location," Anthony said.

"I’m not coming back just yet. I’ve started a new business, applying a crystal coating to the White Crystal. Here, besides Kerani’s Star Descendants, there are those from other God Stars too, like the Sixth Divine Star. They’re really interested in strengthening their White Crystal to enhance their core White Crystal..." Just then, the silver coin’s Soul Contact was suddenly cut off.

"Silver coin? Silver coin? My lord, what happened?" Anthony had a bad premonition and hurriedly asked Ange.

Ange immediately searched for the silver coin. Unfortunately, Kerani only had one node, the silver coin, and when its Soul Contact was cut, he couldn’t project there. He could only extend his perception towards the disappeared node with all his might.

After some effort, Ange finally captured some fragments of consciousness. The silver coin’s entire form had exploded, leaving only the White Crystal encased within a Light Ball, slowly drifting towards the direction of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms.

Apparently, the silver coin had been captured, but the most troubling part was not just its capture. The Soul Contact between it and Ange was severed, meaning Kerani had cut the Soul Contact between the silver coin and him.

Could Kerani actually cut off a Soul Contact?
