Soul Elder did not lie to Yuan Huo.
Two hundred million years ago, the Soul Race were indeed the rulers of the Milky Way.
They are even the most powerful race in the entire Local Galaxy Cluster.
However, lacking the ability to transport troops on a large scale over long distances, it would take an extremely long time for races to conquer other star systems across galaxies.
During this extremely long period, the Soul Race's overall strength became so great that the resources of the Milky Way became insufficient to support the Soul Race's consumption.
Unable to escape the Milky Way's ecosystem, the consequence of insufficient resources is endless division and internal strife.
If this continues, either the consumption of resources will gradually return to a balance.
Either it collapses completely.
The Soul Race was struck by bad luck when a powerful, mysterious creature happened to pass by the Milky Way and completely drained the Soul Race's reserves of Spirit Stone.
This triggered a series of chain reactions, making the internal strife within the Soul Race protracted and intense.
Ultimately, this led to the gradual depletion of the Milky Way's resources, resulting in the second outcome: complete collapse.
The Era of Dharma Decline has arrived, and the ecosystem is being restarted.
Some powerful members of the Soul Race fled to other star systems.
The Soul Emperor of the Soul Race chose to collect various rare and precious materials to refine a treasure that could reduce consumption to almost zero.
Then, he led over a hundred million carefully selected and powerful clansmen into a deep slumber within the treasure.
They simply sent out a member of their clan to monitor the outside world, looking for an opportunity to rise again, awaken the Soul Emperor and the Soul Race, and make a comeback.
When a member of the tribe runs out of lifespan or energy, another member is awakened to continue the cycle.
This cycle repeated itself endlessly for many years.
Only when the Milky Way gradually recovers can we slowly see hope.
However, the rapid rise of the Federation's Human Race soon led to the collapse of the Soul Race, who were on guard.
Because the Soul Race is a parasitic race.
They must possess other beings, eroding their souls and Mind Consciousness, and using their bodies to enhance their own soul power.
The stronger the puppets are, the faster they improve.
Conversely, the stronger they are, the faster the puppets can increase their strength and unleash even greater power.
The Federation's Human Race is too weak in strength, but it dominates the entire Milky Way with its technological civilization, greatly reducing the living space of Ferocious Beast.
This is a disaster for the Soul Race.
Their power increases slowly when they possess the bodies of the Federation's Human Race. If they're not careful, the Federation's high Human Race might detect that something is wrong.
Possessing Ferocious Beast might accelerate one's strength gain, but it offers little chance of survival.
It wasn't until four years ago, when the Human Race began cultivating the Chaos Art and embarking on their own cultivation path, that the Soul Race, who were on guard, rekindled their hope.
When the Soul Race on duty discovered that the Federation's Human Race had increased their strength at an absurdly rapid pace by stealing Yi Chen's teachings, they were overjoyed.
The Soul Race's favorite type of puppet is one that can improve its own cultivation speed extremely quickly.
Human Race were transformed into the perfect puppets in the eyes of the Soul Race.
He immediately awakened a top-tier expert at the Soul King level, the one Yuan Huo referred to as the Soul Elder, to take charge of the situation.
In recent years, Soul Elder has been selecting suitable candidates.
The Soul Emperor and Soul King of the Soul Race are powerful enough to destroy a planet with a single move.
However, the Soul Race as a whole is still far inferior to the Federation Human Race.
We must find someone, elevate him to a high position, and gradually use a Life Planet as a base, with the Federation Human Race on that planet as puppets, to accumulate power before slowly encroaching on the surrounding Life Planet.
As a result, instead of finding a suitable candidate, they encountered a huge problem.
Yi Chen created Divine Sense.
Whether it's Ferocious Beast or any other race, as their strength increases, their perception abilities also improve.
The stronger one's perception ability, the easier it is to detect the existence of the Soul Race and to resist Soul Race invasion.
At the same level, the Divine Sense created by Yi Chen far surpasses these sensory abilities.
The Federation's Human Race, once the Soul Race's best puppet, has now transformed into the Soul Race's nemesis.
Four months ago, after encountering Yuan Huo, a person who could guide and control him through words and special means without eroding his soul and Mind Consciousness.
After much deliberation, the Soul Elder finally decided to take action.
The emergence of this suitable candidate was the trigger.
The root cause lies in the fact that Yi Chen seems to have no intention of creating a mental attack technique based on Divine Sense.
This technique, combined with powerful Divine Sense, is the most lethal to the Soul Race.
In addition, the time required to impart techniques is increasing each time. Even if Yi Chen creates a mental attack technique, it will be ten years, or even several decades, before he can impart it.
This time was enough for the Soul Race to accumulate strength and to find and cultivate powerful puppets for the Soul Emperor and the Soul King.
As long as a puppet with matching strength is cultivated, with the power of Soul Emperor, it is entirely possible to forcibly break into the Exile Planet and capture Yi Chen.
Yi Chen was forced to create more cultivation techniques for the Human Race, allowing the Soul Race to possess a massive number of puppets whose growth rate was already ridiculously fast.
The Federation's Human Race feared that Yi Chen might tamper with the cultivation technique, but the Soul Race did not.
They've endured hundreds of millions of years, so spending a few hundred or a few thousand years to test whether a cultivation technique has any problems is nothing to them, even tens or hundreds of thousands of years is nothing.
Moreover, even if the cultivation technique had problems, the one who died was a top Human Race genius, so they suffered no loss.
The Soul Elder no longer wished to slumber for hundreds of millions of years, awaiting the destruction of Human Race and the beginning of a new cycle in the Milky Way.
Because whether Human Race will be destroyed is an unknown.
Even if the fate of the Soul Race is repeated and the Milky Way enters a new cycle, whether the Soul Race can find an opportunity to rise again remains to be seen.
Why not take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
Exile Planet.
Inside the stone house, Yi Chen was quietly cultivating.
From the Spirit Dao Stage First Level Spirit Dao Stage the second level, without additional talent bonuses or Spirit Stone to assist in cultivation...
With the strongest talent among their Human Race, it would take them about seven and a half months.
With nearly ten times the extra talent bonus and ample Spirit Stone to aid cultivation, a breakthrough can be achieved in just over ten days.
In just over a month, he made rapid progress and advanced to the Spirit Dao Stage Fourth Level.
With a wave of his hand.
The documents and materials that had been piling up in his mailbox for over ten days flew towards him.
A stream of Spiritual Power was injected into the Array Eye, and the Defense Array immediately shut down.
This Defense Array has a two-way function; the Energy Shield can withstand external attacks, but attacks from the inside are unaffected and can be easily Energy Shield through.
However, since it is impossible to distinguish the Spiritual Power of the array user, if one wants to use Divine Sense to control the files in the mailbox and put them into the Formation, the Formation still needs to be shut down first.
Once all the documents and materials arrived in my hands.
Yi Chen reactivated the Formation.
His Divine Sense enveloped all the documents and materials, starting from the bottom.
A document from the Intelligence Organization caught his eye.
