After escorting Ma Xiunuo to the top of the stairs on the second floor, Zhou Qing turned around and went back to the bookshelf where he had been before to continue tidying up.

Among the books I found, I discovered one titled "The Origin of Martial Souls".

This is one of the reasons why Zhou Qing came here.

It's impossible that only Transmigrator like him would imagine the origin of Martial Soul; there must have been other people on the Douluo Continent who explored the origin and development of Martial Soul.

Therefore, Zhou Qing came to the Library of the Nuoding Spirit Hall Branch to search for the records and conjectures left by the "predecessors" who had explored the origin of Martial Soul.

Upon opening "The Origin of Martial Souls," Zhou Qing discovered that the book was handwritten, and not by the same person; the first page alone contained three different handwriting styles.

"There are still some Soul Master in the Douluo Continent who are curious about the Origin of Martial Souls."

However, after reading "The Origin of Martial Souls," Zhou Qing's expression changed.

Because this book was written by a group of Fallen Ones!

The Fallen Ones are a group of Soul Master whose Martial Soul Innate Soul Power is low. In their pursuit of higher realms and greater power, they have crossed the bottom line of human morality and begun an endless cycle of plunder.

Although human survival and development involve plundering everything in nature, this is most evident in the fact that "Soul Master need Soul Ring to break through their cultivation level".

Soul Master are those who plunder the Life of Soul Beast to achieve breakthroughs in their cultivation.

However, even Soul Master have their limits. At least the higher-ups of the major powers recognize the importance of "sustainability," thus allowing the Spirit Hall to stipulate that Soul Master cannot arbitrarily hunt Soul Beast in the Soul Hunting Forest, which is now completely under human control.

The Fallen Ones are different; they have crossed the line of humanity. Whether it is Soul Beast or a human, they will hunt down anything that can give them power.

The Fallen Ones are a bunch of madmen!

They only have one thing on their minds: to disregard everyone's feelings, relentlessly increase their own power, pursue their instinct to become stronger, and abandon all ethics and morality.

But a madman is not a fool.

On the contrary!

A bunch of madmen who wield power!

A group of madmen with an extraordinary way of thinking!

They can even see various phenomena in the world from perspectives that ordinary people cannot see.

For example, in this book, "The Origin of Martial Souls," it describes how a group of Fallen Ones once thought about how to evolve their own Martial Soul.

This group of Fallen Ones believes that in order for Martial Soul to evolve, one must understand Martial Soul origin.

Where did Martial Soul originate?

The womb.

This Fallen Ones organization believed this, and then began to take action, capturing a large number of children whose Martial Soul had not yet awakened.

Newborn babies to six-year-old children are all their targets.

In addition, they also captured a large number of pregnant women, as well as some adults in remote mountain villages who had not yet awakened their Martial Soul. These villages were so remote and isolated that they lived a self-sufficient life, so much so that the Spirit Hall did not discover their existence and therefore did not send anyone to help them awaken their Martial Soul.

Those captured by this Fallen Ones organization were subjected to all sorts of Human Dao research.

Forcibly awakening Martial Soul in underage children...

Dissecting pregnant women to study which organ the fetus develops in...

The experiment involved injecting Soul Power into the bodies of adults in remote rural villages who had no concept of Martial Soul. The goal was to stimulate and Martial Soul Awakening within them...

Although the book "The Origin of Martial Souls" does not describe the specific experimental process, Zhou Qing can already imagine the torment and pain that the subjects of the Fallen Ones ' experiments endured!

Moreover, by having this book exist in the Library, Zhou Qing realized that some of the knowledge that Soul Master on the mainland currently have about the human body may come from the data they obtained after eradicating the Fallen Ones.

Most of them were definitely erased by the Spirit Hall, but the useful parts were preserved and even spread widely in the Soul Master World.

For example: cells.

This concept actually exists in the Soul Master World!

Perhaps all of this is still the "credit" of the Fallen Ones, but the sins they have committed can never be forgiven!

Although they are different worlds, the people are the same, so history also has similarities. For example, in my previous life, science concluded that the human body is about 70% water... But in order to arrive at this result, a group of "madmen" directly conducted Human Dao experiments on people...

Whether they are invaders or not!

Still Fallen Ones!

None of them can be forgiven!

However, their research findings cannot be completely dismissed; the usable parts can be directly utilized.

Just like in this book, most of the experimental processes have been torn out or erased, but some guesses and results have been preserved.

for example:

The development of Martial Soul is similar to how a woman develops a fetus in her womb; before birth, it is also wrapped in a "membrane".

The membrane cannot be replicated.

These were the two most useful sentences Zhou Qing could find in this book, "The Origin of Martial Souls"; the rest had been crossed out or erased.

However, based on the few glimpses of writing, Zhou Qing could roughly deduce that these Fallen Ones had definitely gone astray. Instead of exploring the essence of the "membrane," they were thinking of using a pregnant woman's uterus to create results that could assist in the Martial Soul Gestation.

It was bound to fail!

Although in Zhou Qing's theory, the Martial Soul also has a "Soul Palace" during its gestation stage, similar to the uterus of a mother nurturing a fetus.

However, the two cannot be generalized.

Firstly, it nurtures physical flesh and blood.

Firstly, it nurtures Martial Soul that exists in the human body in the form of energy.

The Fallen Ones, because of their abnormal thinking, are able to discover things that normal people would normally find difficult to notice, from angles that ordinary people cannot see.

Unfortunately, due to their mental abnormalities, they were unable to conduct proper research and instead pursued their so-called "mad scientist" research according to their own crazy ideas.

The only benefit Zhou Qing has gained from this book so far is that it has temporarily confirmed his conjecture about the "Zhou Qing Soul Palace".

The Soul Palace is indeed an objective reality!

"No, that's too hasty. The books written by the Fallen Ones may also be delusions from a state of mental madness. To confirm the true existence of the Soul Palace, we still need to investigate it ourselves later."

Zhou Qing warned himself that he must not be too dogmatic; only through practice could he determine the truth.

How to put it into practice?

It certainly wouldn't involve conducting Human Dao experiments with the Fallen Ones; all that's needed is to bring Romantina and have her interact with children under six years old.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Detection skill is used to explore the microscopic level after condensing Spiritual Power, the effect is far greater than constantly expanding the external detection range.

Wise people seek strength from within!

This statement is not limited to the philosophical level of thought...
