There were some differences between Datafication in the Inner Universe and Datafication in the Outer Universe. Or rather, only players who had reached the "Emperor" level had such differences.
In the Outer Universe, having one's HP emptied meant death, even for "Emperor"-level players who had descended from the Inner Universe.
But in the Inner Universe, when an "Emperor"-level player's HP was emptied, they would die as well, but only their body would perish. Their soul would remain alive.
Therefore, to completely kill an "Emperor"-level player in the Inner Universe, one had to empty their HP and erase their soul. Only then could a "player" truly be killed.
If one merely emptied an "Emperor"-level player's HP without erasing their soul, then after some time, their soul would return to their body, or they could possess another body. That player would then "revive."
Of course, such "revival" was not resurrection in the true sense, because every "revival" consumed a great deal of soul power. The consequence was a drastic drop in their realm and strength.
Moreover, if someone guarded the corpse and killed them again, there was a high chance that they would be unable to "revive" once more.
Thus, when Wang Xian said he would release Jin Yao's soul, he truly meant to spare his life.

However, this confinement formed by forcibly compressing space was nothing to Jin Yao. If he wanted to, he could break free at any moment.
Wang Xian hurriedly met the attack.
"Jade Overlord? You really know how to name things!"
