Although these were only Infinity Gems from a Single Universe, almost every Soul Gem could develop a consciousness of its own.
So the Soul Gem was sure to understand what Huang Yun said.
"So you won't take the wine when it's offered, huh? Then you'll have to drink a forfeit."
"Bzz!"
The phantom of the Emperor Armor appeared behind Huang Yun.
Its overwhelming power bore down on the entire Vormir Star.
Space crackled, and even time warped and twisted under the pressure.
"Respected, powerful one, please withdraw your power."
A childlike, tender voice sounded in Huang Yun's ear.
Huang Yun didn't speak. He merely held out his left hand.
An orange gem suddenly appeared in his palm.
"Are you the Soul Gem?"
"Yes, powerful one."
"What's your relationship with the Goddess of Vengeance? Are you her son?"
Huang Yun asked curiously.
"..."
"I'm merely a consciousness born from the Soul Gem's own power."
"I have no particular connection to the goddess."
"Our powers are also vastly different."
"If I had to say, I'm a servant born from one-seventh of the goddess's power."
Huang Yun considered those words.
But instead of replying, he began analyzing the Soul Gem.
"It's so slow!"
Huang Yun was surprised as soon as he began the analysis.
The Soul Gem took almost ten times longer to analyze than the other Infinity Gems from a Single Universe!
That alone showed how special the Soul Gem was.
But even ten times slower only meant a difference of seconds versus tens of seconds...
Nurturing Armor Beasts
Analyzing the Soul Gem took only tens of seconds.
But Huang Yun hadn't expected it to help him so much.
After all, this was only a Soul Gem from a Single Universe.
By the time Huang Yun opened his eyes again, he could already feel the change in his soul.
In his previous life, Huang Yun had been an ordinary person.
He'd crossed over to the Marvel Universe after being struck by a life-sized Emperor Armor figurine.
Although he didn't know why he'd become the Heavenly Dao of the Bright Realm Dimension and the true form of the Emperor Armor,
his soul was still fundamentally fragile.
The Bright Realm empowered him, giving him a high status.
But status and strength weren't necessarily connected.
"I never expected to gain something like this."
As he gazed at the totem deep within his soul, which looked just like a five-clawed golden dragon, Huang Yun was thrilled.
It was the legacy of his Chinese bloodline.
He hadn't expected the Soul Gem to awaken it.
It had also thoroughly refined his soul from top to bottom.
Huang Yun had a feeling that the Soul Gem was responsible for awakening his soul totem.
"I'm even more eager to get the Primal Infinity Gems now."
Just analyzing the Infinity Gems from a Single Universe had already made Huang Yun considerably stronger.
It had even awakened his soul totem.
After returning the Soul Gem, Huang Yun didn't continue searching for the Mind Gem. Instead, he went straight back to the dimension.
The moment Huang Yun stepped into the Bright Realm, he felt the entire dimension rejoicing.
The transformation of Huang Yun's soul had made the Bright Realm's Heavenly Dao status more stable.
At the same time, an egg appeared deep within the dimension.
"My partner, are you about to hatch, too?"
Huang Yun naturally thought of the Emperor Armor's partner.
The Emperor Dragon of Light!
The birth of the soul laws had filled the entire Bright Realm Dimension with life.
Everyone knew that the Bright Realm's heaven-given armors all had true forms.
But so far, aside from Huang Yun, the true form of the Emperor Armor, none of the other heaven-given armors had developed consciousnesses or true forms.
But this partial restoration of the soul laws had given Huang Yun a chance to see it happen.
Deep in the Bright Realm Dimension, an Armor Beast had even begun to take shape.
Without the Emperor Dragon of Light, the Emperor Armor couldn't be considered complete.
"I wonder how long it'll take you to mature."
Huang Yun stroked the egg of the Emperor Dragon of Light.
"I have to get the Primal Soul Gem."
This Primal Infinity Gem was tremendously important to Huang Yun and the entire Bright Realm Dimension.
It was their chance to give rise to the true forms of the Five Elements Armor, as well as Armor Beasts.
In the original Bright Realm, the Emperor Dragon of Light was the Emperor Armor's mount.
It was also the first Armor Beast in the entire Bright Realm.
Its power was immense, second only to the Emperor Armor.
Going by the fighting ability it displayed in the films,
it was debatable whether the true forms of the Five Elements Armor could even beat the Emperor Dragon of Light.
This was one ridiculously overpowered dragon!
And that was without even mentioning how cool it looked. In its ultimate form, it definitely had combat power beyond the multiverse level.
It was also utterly loyal and completely dependable.
The arrival of the Emperor Dragon of Light would undoubtedly fill the gap in the Bright Realm's top-tier fighting force.
Although the films he'd watched in his previous life hadn't shown much of the Emperor Dragon of Light's strength,
in Huang Yun's understanding,
the Emperor Dragon of Light was the Emperor Armor's companion Armor Beast, and the second-strongest fighter in the entire Bright Realm.
It could be called the second-most powerful being in the whole Bright Realm.
There was another thing: the Emperor Armor needed the Emperor Dragon of Light's cooperation to unleash its strongest attack.
In other words, when the Emperor Armor and the Emperor Dragon of Light fought together, their combined strength was greater than the sum of their parts.
"Ah, but with the soul laws as weak as they are now, you probably won't even have a chance to hatch for tens of thousands of years."
Although the Bright Realm had begun nurturing Armor Beasts, the biggest problem was the weakness of its soul laws.
After all, the Bright Realm in this life was different from the one Huang Yun knew about.
The Bright Realm in the Armor Universe had evolved for countless ages, and its laws had been fully restored in every way. It was the strongest five-dimensional universe of light.
Its strength could even rival that of the Marvel Universe's Omniverse.
But now, the Bright Realm Dimension had only been born a thousand years ago.
The only life it had produced was Huang Yun, the true form of the Emperor Armor.
And that counted only the time since Huang Yun had become conscious.
