Background

The Saronians transformed their flesh-and-blood bodies into Holy Spirits through Soul Genes technology as a means of survival. Their transformation was driven by the destruction of their star rather than a pursuit of higher cultivation, leaving fundamental flaws in their eventual form 873 883.

Over a civilization history of roughly 2.2 billion years, the Holy Spirits developed a soul-based technological system using themselves as templates. Their weapons and equipment became effectively alternative bodies constructed from soul material 871 877.

The Holy Spirits once worshipped the sun. After their sun exploded and became a white dwarf, they temporarily abandoned this faith system before restoring and expanding it; later generations increasingly pursued faith cultivation after reaching Level 16.0 877 912.

Appearance

Holy Spirits manifest in humanoid but highly variable soul-based forms rather than flesh-and-blood bodies. Their physical appearance can reflect different cultivation systems or social roles 859 900.

• Ordinary modern Holy Spirits are generally around two meters tall 900.
• Honor guards using an older cultivation system may stand five to six meters tall 900.
• Most combatants have four arms, allowing them to carry shields, weapons, and domain-disrupting beads simultaneously 872.
• One detected Holy Spirit was a one-meter-tall, slender figure with curved ram horns and pitch-black eyes 859.
• Their bodies can appear shadowlike or as streaks of light, despite possessing enough structure to wield equipment and interact with matter 866 868.

Nature and Physiology

Holy Spirits are electromagnetic-wave-like lifeforms whose souls are recorded in Life Energy. Their bodies are special energy frameworks, while their minimal energy reserves primarily serve as carriers for data and soul information 873 877.

They lack conventional eyes and instead use a dedicated soul-perception system. Every Holy Spirit has an Energy Control structure for movement and a sensory structure with identifiable soul-wave fingerprints 859.

• They can move at extreme speed, make abrupt stops, and execute right-angle turns in midair 866.
• A detected Holy Spirit accelerated beyond Mach 20 during a close-range attack 859.
• Their bodies can pass through narrow openings, but a circular gap below two centimeters causes their structure to collapse; one-centimeter ventilation gaps can exclude them 869.
• They cannot reach the extreme altitudes available to Chu Fei; their flight is limited by the depth of the surrounding Life Energy “ocean” 878.
• Lower-level Holy Spirits generally lack domains, while Level 16.0 marks the point at which they begin to develop them 869 875.

Civilization and Society

Faith and government

Holy Spirit society includes temples, priests, noble titles, and a faith-based hierarchy. Priests channel Power of Faith through divine statues, while the Sect Master nominally serves the gods and the High Priest manages mundane national affairs 882 900.

• Sect Master — religious leader associated with serving the gods; later emerged during the final war and was defeated by Chu Fei 912.
• High Priest — effective national leader responsible for secular affairs 900.
• Asiga — an honorific descended from the Saronian temple system’s highest knightly rank, later retained as a noble title 900.

Settlements and infrastructure

The Holy Spirit capital, Ensilan, means “the place watched over by God” in the Saronian language. Located at Morning Star’s solar pole, it was built beneath direct sunlight and served as both a religious center and a heavily defended war fortress 900.

• Ensilan contains a central golden pyramid exceeding one thousand meters in height, surrounded by smaller temple pyramids and outer skyscraper districts 900.
• The capital is saturated with Power of Faith and protected by Soul Creation aircraft, aerial patrols, and high-level Holy Spirit troops 900.
• Holy Spirits cultivate half-animal, half-plant organisms resembling enormous moving sunflowers that absorb radiance from the atmosphere 878.
• Soul Beasts were originally engineered by the Saronians to maintain danger and ecological pressure within Holy Spirit society; they also supply Soul Orbs and soul power 879.

Abilities & Skills

Soul Perception

Holy Spirits perceive the world through soul-based senses rather than visual organs. This allows them to identify ordinary souls and track targets through distinctive soul signatures 859 878.

• Detects enemies through soul waves and energy-control activity 859.
• Can lock onto Immortal Cultivators’ powerful primordial spirits particularly easily 883.
• Is hindered by electromagnetic interference, High-Power Microwaves, Soul EMP contamination, and dense manifold fragments 869 876 879.

Law-Based Attacks

Holy Spirits primarily attack by applying laws directly to a target’s structure. Their attacks bypass ordinary material defenses rather than relying on brute physical force 873.

• Close-range law strikes — can damage or disintegrate matter such as steel 873 879.
• Soul Flying Knives — launched from between the horns; require an unobstructed route to enter a target 875.
• Soul Pulses — soul-based attacks used by high-level combatants 876 879.
• Karma Fire — a high-level soul attack capable of threatening Immortal Cultivators 879 883.
• Law Lasers — soul-locking beams that can track a target through its soul or conventional domain 876.

Soul Technology

Holy Spirit equipment is made from soul material and represents the culmination of their civilization’s soul-based technological development 877.

• Weapons and shields can resist lasers, Particle Cannons, shells, and explosions 868 871.
• Domain-disrupting beads interfere with domains through fixed frequency bands 872 875.
• Soul EMP Bombs distort sensory abilities and create areas that impair both human and Holy Spirit perception 879.
• Soul Creation aircraft provide aerial transport within Ensilan 900.

Mobility and Combat Coordination

Holy Spirits use their low-mass, soul-based bodies for rapid aerial combat. They adapt their formations in response to enemy weapons and coordinate in dispersed units 866 871.

• Disperse into small, fast-moving squads to reduce the effectiveness of Plasma Bombs 871.
• Use assassin units to target commanders and retreating forces 871.
• Can turn into streaks of light for close-range assaults or escape 868 879.
• High-level Holy Spirits may use domains, faith power, and specialized equipment in coordinated attacks 875 911.

Documented Cultivation Levels

Level	Documented traits	Chapter
15.0	Common high-level combatant; can participate in large-scale assaults and use soul-based weaponry.	868 879
16.0	Begins to possess domain characteristics; approximately 0.04-second reaction speed; may serve as diplomats or elite commanders.	875 900
17.0	Uses powerful Soul Pulses, Karma Fire, domains, and advanced equipment; can confront Void Refinement cultivators.	876 879
18.0	Highest known leadership tier, including the High Priest and multiple senior Holy Spirits; can draw on Power of Faith on home ground.	900 911

Weaknesses

• Incomplete foundation — Holy Spirits do not develop domains until Level 16.0, whereas other cultivation systems normally develop them at Level 12.0 875.
• Limited reaction speed — a Level 16.0 Holy Spirit reacts in roughly 0.04 seconds and can be overwhelmed by simultaneous, varied attacks 875.
• Loose body structure — Life Energy pulses, compressed air, explosions, and magic can destabilize their forms and disrupt movement 875.
• Frequency dependence — special frequencies can interfere with their body calibration, domain-disrupting beads, and perception 875.
• Soul-perception reliance — electromagnetic interference, High-Power Microwaves, and Soul EMP effects can impair their senses 869 879.
• Restricted passage — their structures collapse when attempting to pass through openings below roughly two centimeters in diameter 869.
• Rigid Soul Blade trajectories — airtight masks, bulletproof vests, and other sealed defenses can block Soul Blades before they reach the body 875.
• Equipment burden — their speed advantage declines when carrying weapons and equipment 894.

Notable Members

• Solon Saint Delov — Level 18.0 High Priest and effective leader of the Holy Spirit nation; previously encountered Chu Fei in the Gaia Secret Realm 900.
• Sabrinder Asiga Forde — Level 16.0 diplomat who received Chu Fei during his visit to Ensilan 900.
• Holy Spirit Sect Master — elusive religious leader said to serve the gods; defeated and devoured by the Wisdom Tree Seed during the final war 912.

Relationships

• Chu Fei — principal enemy and researcher of Holy Spirit biology, technology, and weaknesses; he infiltrated the Gaia Secret Realm, visited Ensilan, and later led the war that destroyed their civilization 868 877 900 912.
• Jiang Guangyuan — fought Holy Spirits alongside Chu Fei during incursions into the Gaia Secret Realm; his powerful primordial spirit made him especially vulnerable to their soul-detection methods 881 883.
• Humanity — existential rival species. A temporary exchange and negotiation period ended when the Holy Spirits claimed Morning Star and refused humanity’s relocation plan 900 910.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Invasion of Morning Star

Holy Spirits descended from the Gaia Secret Realm in overwhelming numbers, attacking cities through aerial exits and conducting a war of extermination. Their coordinated speed, soul-based weapons, and assassin units devastated human forces during the early invasion 866 867 871.

Chu Fei’s battles against Level 15.0 and Level 16.0 Holy Spirits established many of humanity’s first practical countermeasures. He later publicized their weaknesses, including their reaction limits, frequency vulnerabilities, and sensitivity to Life Energy disruption 868 875.

Gaia Secret Realm expeditions

Chu Fei entered the Gaia Secret Realm to investigate Holy Spirit society and technology. He observed their agriculture, captured high-level Holy Spirits, destroyed cities and temples, and acquired information on Soul Genes and the Saronian transformation process 878 882 883.

Diplomacy at Ensilan

Following extensive conflict, the Holy Spirits invited Chu Fei to their capital, Ensilan, for technological exchange. Both sides maintained formal cooperation while recognizing that their civilizations could not coexist permanently 900.

Final war and collapse

The Holy Spirits rejected humanity’s plan to relocate Morning Star’s population, declaring both the planet and its inhabitants their property. Chu Fei responded by organizing total war mobilization against them 910.

Human fleets destroyed Holy Spirit cities and attacked Ensilan with missiles and Electromagnetic Cannons. The Sect Master was defeated, the Holy Spirit civilization collapsed, and the Gaia Secret Realm transformed into a different form of virtual-reality technology rather than vanishing completely 912 913.
