The Road I Walked, You Can Walk Too!

Without the slightest pause, Ian raised a hand and directly manifested a model of an Artificial Soul within the subspace.

That was the convenience of a subspace lecture hall. So long as the lecturer possessed psionics and a sufficiently powerful imagination, they could affect reality and shape models that were almost tangible—a soul model shining with a pale white glow appeared in the black-haired knight's palm, continuously expanding until it was larger than three people combined.

"This is an Artificial Soul. Everything I am going to discuss begins with it."

The manufacturing method is right beside it." As he spoke, he placed a set of instructions next to it. "Whether you trust them or trust Dragon Island, think about it and see for yourselves."

"First, I must make one thing clear: Artificial Souls are necessary."

"Training, cultivation, physical stimulation, mental stimulation, and even culinary stimulation to bring forth the rudiments of a soul are indeed decent methods.
