Chapter 355 – Thor’s Resurrection Program

Chapter 355 – Saul’s Resurrection Solution

Watching Hayden sink completely within the solution, Saul withdrew his hand and shook the liquid from his hand with a grimace.

The corrosive solution had already caused his arm to turn red, but when he finished shaking his hand and lowered his rolled up sleeve again, the skin on his arm had completely returned to its original color.

“Brother Saul, he’s already asleep oh.”

The silver-colored butterfly suddenly flew up from under the surface of the water, and the corrosive solution did not have the slightest effect on it.

“Good.” Saul nodded, took out a piece of paper, recorded the time, Hayden’s state, and then posted the recording paper on the side of the sarcophagus, following the example of the 20-floor circular laboratory.

He then turned around and walked towards the lab bench, with the butterflies following behind him.

This silver-colored butterfly had already grown a circle from half a year ago, not only that, even its ability to create dreams was much stronger than before.

Because it was bound by the diary, the Nightmare Butterfly Penny could only use a very small portion of its abilities originally, but ever since Saul gave it a little bit of the crypto-crystalline substance that Kong Sha had specially left behind, Penny had grown by a circle, and the patterns on its body had become even more complex.

Cryptocrystalline substance could accelerate the growth of a juvenile Nightmare Butterfly. That little bit of cryptocrystalline substance saved Penny about three years of natural growth time.

No wonder at that time, once Penny saw the cryptocrystalline substance, the entire butterfly went crazy without a bottom line.

As for Saul’s use of cryptocrystalline substance for Penny, it was actually for the purpose of testing the material properties of cryptocrystalline substance.

The rest of the cryptocrystalline material, Saul naturally used it for his own research.

This kind of thing was difficult to preserve, and had to be placed in a sentient flesh and blood. But Saul didn’t want to be like Monroe and put something in his eyes. In the end, he chose to bury the cryptocrystalline substance under the skin of his wrist, close to his bones and meridians.

This way he could feel the tingling feedback from there with every heartbeat, a constant reminder of the existence of the Cryptocrystalline Plasm.

Plus, Saul’s secondly modified skin was also very sensitive to the special existence of the cryptocrystalline mass, which was between consciousness and matter.

“How long does your dream last?” Sitting at the long table, Saul asked Penny.

“A soul that is essentially a first level apprentice is just …… able to last until he dies, and the dream can continue to survive until the spirit dies completely as well.”

Penny said with disdain.

However, it remembered the identity of the person in front of it, and said with a slight curtness, “However, I thought that Brother Saul would take his consciousness into the diary. After all, Brother Sol is so powerful!”

This guy had always still wanted a piece of cryptocrystalline mass, and had done everything for it.

After Saul ordered it not to ask for it, it began to compliment, pander, and sell itself in turn.

It was a pity that Saul didn’t eat his words at all.

“Hayden is not fit to stay in the diary.”

Saul currently only had one black book page spot left. Until his strength increased to the point where he could have six black book pages, he wouldn’t easily give that spot out just in case.

Besides, he had other ways to preserve Hayden’s consciousness, so why should he take him into the diary?

After studying soul infusion for most of the year, Saul hadn’t come up empty-handed.

He was now using the soul infusion samples as a standard for improvement, and with the almost-established corpse materials in the storehouse, he had already researched many kinds of containers that were suitable for storing spirit bodies and reducing the intensity of the rejection reaction or delaying the time when the containers had a rejection reaction.

One of the most successful programs had been able to delay the repulsion reaction of the container for half a year.

Although half a year’s time was not comparable to the two or three years that soul infusion could last. However, soul infusion was to forcibly lock the spirit body into the body through a golden spell formation, and reduce the chaotic cognition caused by the rejection reaction by cutting off emotional perception.

In other words, Mr. Rum hadn’t solved the problem of rejection at all.

He was forcibly pinching together two unsuitable souls and physical bodies in two ways that evaded the problem.

It was already impressive that such a body could last two or three years.

In contrast, Saul’s program was more sustainable. Using his program, the souls didn’t need to endure pain they couldn’t perceive.

As a result the attrition of the spirit body as well as the probability of mutation was also greatly reduced. Saul’s next goal was to drastically extend the time for the rejection reaction to appear. And during the research process of prolonging the rejection reaction, to find a way to completely solve the rejection problem.

If he can really find out that optimal solution, not only Mrs. Yura, but even other conscious, well preserved, and uncontaminated spirit bodies can be resurrected in bulk …… in this way!
Of course this optimal solution was currently only a vision, whether it could be realized or not, and how soon it could be realized was unknown.

But Saul’s solution to resurrecting Mrs. Yura is not to find out this optimal solution.

It sounds like the Goddess of Life’s natural skill, and that’s something that only appears in bardic tales.

He’s just trying to delay the onset of the rejection reaction by ten years!

Saul thinks that if he can extend the repulsion reaction to more than 10 years, he can disguise the “resurrection” of Mrs. Yura.

After reading the records of the experiment provided by Mentor Golza, Saul found a problem.

The reason why Mrs. Yura’s soul became abnormal so soon after she divested herself of it was because the carrier she chose for herself did not protect her soul like her original body, but instead increased the contamination due to the rejection reaction.

The physical body is the original shelter for the soul. But that physical body has to be original for that to happen.

Mrs. Yura is afraid that she only discovered this grim problem when she divested her soul and stayed in the container for a long time.

Previously, she had only had her soul out of her body for a short time and stayed in a container that had not yet rusted, thus mistakenly believing that she had been able to switch bodies at will, and by doing so, gained the independence of her soul.

However, she didn’t realize that staying in a body that didn’t belong to her for a long period of time, the rejection reaction would exacerbate the contamination of her soul, and transferring out of the carrier would also cause secondary contamination.

The soul of a full-fledged sorcerer is not enough to resist this level of contamination.

Therefore even with Mentor Golza constantly cleaning up her spirit body and removing the contamination, Lady Yura was still inevitably plunged into the abyss of alienation.

It was said that after several failed attempts, the tower master sealed Mrs. Youra’s soul and did not allow her to conduct any more experiments.

Instead, Golza herself turned from light to darkness and personally studied resurrection – a subject only for third-order wizards.

When a Third Order sorcerer studies resurrection, a Fourth Order sorcerer is already able to do so to a limited extent.

Resurrection was not originally a subject that should be studied by first or second order sorcerers.

But whether it was Mrs. Yura or Lord Golzata, they were both very proud, and neither of them were willing to stop at the level of strength they were at.

But the end result was that both paid a considerable price for it.

Thus Saul had never wanted to actually resurrect anyone from the very beginning.

It wasn’t like he was going to take his diary out and give it to someone else.

So he chose a solution that cured the cause and not the symptoms.

His solution was that if he could extend the rejection reaction to more than 10 years, then the soul in the body would not be contaminated from the body for a while. And when the 10-year period came and went, the contamination suffered during the second transfer of the soul to the new body could be gradually recovered in the next 10 years.

Thus the cycle is repeated and a closed loop is reached.

Resurrection in disguise.

This experimental conception Saul did not tell Gortha for the time being, as the final validation he had not yet carried out.

And the final verification could only be carried out after he returned from the Elven Valley.

After finishing organizing the records of today’s experiment, Saul once again took out the Alpha Necklace that Korrie had given him.

“Although I don’t think Korie will be an enemy, this necklace could still be utilized by someone, just like Nick’s corpse.”

“Rather, I’ll research it first to see if I can figure out an antidote. Even if I get the wrong person, at most I’ll reap a pair of blank stares from Korie.”

There aren’t enough fine outlines left for a second chapter at night, or not.
