Han Yuchen asked no further questions, merely nodding to show he understood.
But beneath his calm exterior, a sliver of his consciousness had silently sunk into his absolute domain.
[Dimensional Space].
This was a boundless space of pure darkness.
There was no up or down, no left or right, no passage of time.
Only Han Yuchen's will reigned here as the sole god.
At his command, the Soul Origin extracted by [Plunder and Evolve] from the three-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider slowly unfurled.
It was no longer a grotesque spider shape, but had become a gray, constantly writhing mass of energy.
At the core of that energy mass, strands of black thread finer than hair lurked within like deadly viruses.

Han Yuchen's divine sense became an invisible scalpel and cautiously probed into that mass of Soul Origin.
He began to analyze it.
He discovered that Solonsen's power did not directly control the soul.
That would have been far too crude.
It was more like a mental catalyst, an amplifier for malicious desires.

The offspring of contaminated soul beasts would be born with this
