The Role of True Spirits

Chen Yuan was no stranger to the concept of a True Spirit. It was the fundamental core of a living being, existing in the deepest depths of the soul.

Even some lifeforms without souls still possessed True Spirits. The soul was more like the shell of a True Spirit, capable of providing protection, but its absence did not matter much.
