The more you study the soul, the more you realize that it has absolutely no limits and is incredibly difficult to understand.

"The two of us together are two Herrscher of Knowledge plus two Inner Demons. And let me tell you, I still have a trump card. I once obtained an Immortal Technique called Astral Projection. Although I have never used it, I have mastered this technique through Furniture Mastery."

"The concept of 'Astral Projection' is to divide a person into two souls, one main and one auxiliary. As long as one body is still alive, the main body can be resurrected in the other body even if it dies."

"And the ' Astral Projection 'Immortal Technique is quite comprehensive, providing not only a method for separating the soul but also a method for reuniting it. So bringing these two Ji Lin together shouldn't be too difficult," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

As Chen Luo spoke, he gently flicked the spine of the Xuanyuan Sword, and a wisp of spiritual light was drawn out from the Xuanyuan Sword Chen Luo.

The radiance transformed into a milky-white ball of light, which Chen Luo held in his hand.

"Astral Projection? I'm curious," the Herrscher of Knowledge said after blinking.

"No, aren't you curious?" Chen Luo instantly understood the Herrscher of Knowledge's thoughts, which was that she wanted to borrow the Immortal Technique of Chen Luo's Astral Projection to see what was going on.

Chen Luo's meaning was also quite clear.

No way!

"Hey, don't be so stingy."

"This isn't a matter of being petty or not. What do you, a demon, need an Astral Projection for?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The Herrscher of Knowledge was able to create clones shortly after acquiring and digesting the Inner Demon Lure. In fact, Chen Luo was also able to do this, just like during the Third Honkai Outbreak, when the Herrscher of Knowledge created a Little Herrscher to follow Chen Luo.

Therefore, those Herrscher of Knowledge do not need Astral Projection.

Furthermore, although the Astral Projection for the "Avatar "Immortal Technique states that the success rate is 100% and that there will be absolutely no problems, Chen Luo still doesn't believe it.

There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me. jpg

Doppelgangers are such a pain in the ass. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Luo will never have a doppelganger in his life. Anyway, if he can't do it, he still has puppets to help him.

However, the concept of Astral Projection can be used for other things.

"Oh, right, eat this quickly before I regret it." Thinking of his Astral Projection, Chen Luo thought of resurrection, and thinking of resurrection, he thought of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu. Thinking of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, Chen Luo thought of his own Heavenly Scented Cardamom.

So Chen Luo casually flicked a Heavenly Scented Cardamom towards the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Trusting Chen Luo, the Herrscher of Knowledge opened his mouth and swallowed the Heavenly Scented Cardamom that was launched at him.

"What is that?" asked the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Heavenly Scented Cardamom," Chen Luo said.

"What? Why did you give me that thing to eat?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was stunned for a moment.

"I don't need this thing."

"You think you can just say you won't need it? Better safe than sorry. With your reckless personality, I'm really worried that you might get betrayed by someone at any time," Chen Luo sighed.

There was a reason why Chen Luo gave Tianshan Doukou, the only remaining available spot for the Herrscher of Knowledge.

There's no need to elaborate on their good relationship. The main difference is that Herrscher of Knowledge and Mei are different; the Herrscher of Knowledge travels around countless worlds with Chen Luo.

If something goes wrong, Chen Luo be resurrected after he is killed, but the Herrscher of Knowledge cannot.

Although the worlds Chen Luo has encountered so far are all ones Chen Luo knows or is familiar with, there are bound to be some he doesn't understand, and there are bound to be some outrageous beings in those worlds...

Chen Luo has gone to great lengths to ensure that the fledgling eagles can spread their wings and fly freely.

"Hey, what is the second Class President eating? I want some too!" Kiana floated in the air, bound by the silk threads, and waved at Chen Luo.

"What the heck is 'Second Class President'?" The Herrscher of Knowledge, who hadn't heard Kiana explain the term "Second Class President" earlier, was taken aback.

"Fu Hua is the Class President, so you're the second Class President. What a simple and easy-to-understand title."

"..."

"You don't need what she eats. Just go to school quietly and be your Valkyrie quietly. As long as you don't go and give the Herrscher of the End the middle finger, I can take care of everything else for you," Chen Luo said.

Another reason why Mei and the others weren't given anything is that Chen Luo is a person who traveled to this world 50,000 years ago.

If I, having witnessed the future where the Previous Era vanished, knew what kind of accident might happen to Kiana and the others, I would definitely give Chen Luo a hint.

Therefore, Kiana and the others don't need this kind of Revival Item at all.

"Come, come, bring the Corrupted Ji Lin over. Since we have some time now, let's discuss the issues of these two Ji Lin." Chen Luo beckoned to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The current Domination Authority to control Chi You has reached an automated stage; all Chen Luo needs to do is sit here obediently, and there will be no other problems.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words Herrscher of Knowledge immediately took flight and then floated to Chen Luo's side, carrying the seemingly weightless Ji Lin in his arms.

Isn't it normal for those Herrscher of Knowledge to be able to fly?

Aside from running out of silk thread, Chen Luo is in relatively good condition.

Chen Luo reached out, and the silk threads instantly understood his meaning, wrapping around Ji Lin 'Chen Luo body and slowly lifting Ji Lin from the arms of the Herrscher of Knowledge to Chen Luo.

Looking at the fist-sized ball of light in his left hand and then at the entire Corrupted Ji Lin on his right, Chen Luo roughly understood the composition of Ji Lin now.

The corruption caused by the 5,000-year-old dark seal resulted in an excessive amount of corrupting elements within Corrupted Ji Lin's body.

In this way, if the two souls that were originally one were to be merged back together, they would not revert to the original Ji Lin.

This is a bit troublesome.

And there's an even bigger problem...

"Xiao Shi now has two options. As Ji Lin's good friend, it's time for you to make a choice," Chen Luo suddenly said to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Because Ji Lin's disagreement was more serious than Chen Luo had imagined, and for another reason, Chen Luo couldn't make a decision lightly.

"What option?" Although Xiao Shi used a question, looking at the Corrupted Ji Lin and the abnormal proportion of Ji Lin's mental power, the Herrscher of Knowledge probably guessed something.

"Of course, it's about the option of merging the two of them. The first option is naturally to combine the two of them together. This method is recorded in the Astral Projection, and it can be done perfectly. However, since the proportion of Corrupted Ji Lin is now higher than that of the heroic spirit Ji Lin, the final Ji Lin will still be Ji Lin, but there will be many changes."

"You can think of her as a reversed Heroic Spirit; her personality has changed drastically."

"Another option is to separate the two of them into independent individuals, which is also very simple; just Puppet Transformation."

"Hmm, why are I being given multiple-choice questions?" the Herrscher of Knowledge said, annoyed.

"And does it really have to Puppet Transformation?"

"Is this what you're worried about? Then you don't need to worry. No matter which option you choose, she'll still Puppet Transformation. Because if I don't turn her into Puppet Transformation after the seal breaks, they'll have to go back into the Xuanyuan Sword to survive, and what's the difference between that and resealing them?" Chen Luo said.

"Why don't you ask Ji Lin for his opinion?" Herrscher of Knowledge pointed to the white ball of light in Chen Luo's left hand.

Chen Luo gently handed over the white ball of light, causing it to slowly fly towards the Herrscher of Knowledge then carefully held it in her palm.

The spiritual power emanating from the Herrscher of Knowledge's brow touched the white ball of light, and instantly the Herrscher of Knowledge established a connection with the other's consciousness channel.

With the remaining power of Bai Ji Lin, it is indeed enough to manifest, but the opponent's power is not much to begin with, and if possible, Herrscher of Knowledge does not want to waste the opponent's strength.

"Long time no see, Chi Yuan." In a pure white space, a girl dressed in gold turned around and smiled at the Herrscher of Knowledge had entered the spiritual space.

"Long time no see." The Herrscher of Knowledge also showed a healthy smile.

"Alright, Ji Lin said she's decided not to merge anymore. She said she wants to split into two people, and that since the other was created because of her, she will definitely discipline the other properly and take full responsibility for their education." A short while later, the Herrscher of Knowledge opened her eyes and said to Chen Luo.

"Really? Fine. I respect their choice. However..." Chen Luo gave the Herrscher of Knowledge a strange look.

"What's wrong? But what?"

"Never mind, it's nothing."

But is this decision Ji Lin made, or is it yours?

Chen Luo really wanted to ask that.

Although Chen Luo hadn't accessed that mental space, Chen Luo could tell from the unstable fluctuations of the milky-white light cluster and the ever-changing mood status of the Herrscher of Knowledge in the special relationship list that things weren't so simple.

If you look at the problem from a different perspective, you'll discover a whole new world.

Is it possible that... the Corrupted Ji Lin and the Herrscher of Knowledge are too similar?

Fu Hua and Ji Lin are both people who can be called heroes.

Both Herrscher of Knowledge and Corrupted Ji Lin were born from the former's body.

Moreover, both Herrscher of Knowledge and Corrupted Ji Lin belong to the Honkai side.

Despite being Herrscher, the Herrscher of Knowledge still believes herself to be the true Fu Hua and is determined to resist the Honkai.

Corrupted Ji Lin said she wanted to take revenge on the person she used to protect, but the other party's ultimate wish was definitely not that, but to break free from this long loneliness.

Why does Chen Luo know so much about this?

All I can say is that while the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Black Kirin were fighting, Chen Luo received a commission.

[Loneliness]: To "liberate" Corrupted Ji Lin from the long loneliness and darkness.

Reward: 1000 Primogem + [Xuanyuan Sword]

Difficulty: Four stars

Therefore, the Herrscher of Knowledge and the Corrupted Ji Lin are very similar.

Although Chen Luo believed that Ji Lin made the final decision, the Herrscher of Knowledge must have whispered in his ear quite a bit.

The reason Chen Luo didn't merge the two was because when he made the suggestion, he keenly sensed a strange feeling flashing through the mind of the Herrscher of Knowledge.

And in the Special Relationships section of the Talent panel, under the Herrscher of Knowledge category, there's that somewhat glaring red mood status— [Disappointment].

What do you think Chen Luo should do now that these two words have appeared?

Coax!

Chapter 451 Darkening Makes You Ten Times Stronger

The final discussion results have been reached; the next step is implementation.

Regardless of how the Herrscher of Knowledge persuaded Ji Lin, Chen Luo didn't mind since the other party had this idea.

There are two ways to complete the task of liberation that Chen Luo received.

One method is to simply eliminate it. This is the most obvious and simplest method.

Another way is to prevent them from falling into darkness and from being alone, which can also be considered a liberation from darkness and loneliness.

However, this method is rather complicated.

First, freeing her from loneliness is easy to handle; just send Cang Xuan and Danzhu to keep her company.

To be freed from darkness, one must ensure that the other party is not resealed.

Bronya and Kiana watched Chen Luo. In order to avoid any situations that were inappropriate for children, Chen Luo changed his transformation method.

He placed two doll- Puppet Mark resembling Primogem between Corrupted Ji Lin's eyebrows, watching as the two Domination Mark completely merged into Corrupted Ji Lin's body.

Then he took out another Puppet Mark and placed it on the milky white ball of light.

Corrupted Ji Lin has stronger mental power than Ji Lin currently, so naturally she needs more Puppet Mark.

These three Puppet Mark were left over from when Chen Luo squandered Puppet Mark some time ago, and they came in handy for these two.

"Strange, why did it go so smoothly when the Puppet Mark were implanted into them?" Chen Luo looked at Ji Yilin and Corrupted Ji Lin with some puzzlement.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked with some concern.

"Or is it that two souls are somewhat vulnerable if they are separated?" This is actually the question that the Herrscher of Knowledge has always been worried about.

Dear Herrscher of Knowledge, as Herrscher of Knowledge, you naturally have your own insights on this matter, or rather, the Herrscher of Knowledge's profession is related to this, so it is normal to have concerns in this regard.

"No, Puppet Transformation is not such an inconvenient thing. Even if you take off your clothes now, I can turn your clothes into a doll. The key is that the other party, as a separate individual with a soul, adapts to the Domination Mark too quickly, catching people off guard."

"..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Herrscher of Knowledge instinctively hugged himself tighter.

What do you want to do?

You want to take my clothes off?

There are other people here.

Chen Luo took out his erhu and gently struck a chord with Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Ouch!" Herrscher of Knowledge clutched his head, feeling a bit of pain.

"Be serious."

"Who was being inappropriate first?"
