Chapter 1684
Zhang Yu's heart stirred slightly, and he asked, "What kind of alteration does Foster Father mean?"
Zou Zheng said, "Wait here a moment." With that, he rose and walked out.
Zhang Yu remained seated. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. Raising it to his lips, he took a sip. It was still the flavor of the old tea trees from the town of his youth, no different from back then.
In no more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Zou Zheng returned to the side hall. He carried two rolls of bark manuscripts in his hands. Coming closer, he set them on the table, opened one of them first, and slowly spread it out. "Take a look at this first."
Zhang Yu rose to his feet and examined it carefully. It was written in the spiritual script and symbols devised by Zou Zheng, and recorded methods for molding living beings.
More than half of it concerned God-Children, and the techniques used within were indeed a step beyond what Zou Zheng had described earlier.
At the end, there was a discussion concerning God-Children.
Based on the God-Children he had captured, their essential nature was not their bodies, but the consciousness that could continually shift from place to place. Yet this was not without flaws. Divine power diminished with every use. If they failed to find a suitable body before their divine power was exhausted, that consciousness would cease to exist.
But this technique was different.
Originally, the consciousnesses of a God-Child and its host were two relatively independent consciousnesses. Yet this method abandoned the old routes of seizure and parasitic attachment. After entering another's body, the consciousness could gradually reconcile the two by relinquishing itself, ultimately becoming a new consciousness.
