The startled cry revealed neither the speaker's gender nor their age.
When the player Li Dabao heard it, a battlefield of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea seemed to rise before his eyes.
Bones, broken bodies, unyielding beings, and monsters raising their butcher's blades filled his vision.
Without realizing it, Li Dabao became lost in the scene.
Perhaps an instant passed. Perhaps much longer.
Li Dabao suddenly roared, "Kill!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and no trace of lucidity remained on his face.
A blurred figure appeared beside Li Dabao and silently studied him for a long time.
"Strange. Is this a product of the Divine Realm's new rules?"
"He can actually defy the fundamental rules and resurrect repeatedly without any loss."
"Oh? I understand now. His original self cannot be considered a being of the Divine Realm-or even a living being at all. This body is merely a product of the Divine Realm's new rules."
"Each resurrection appears to come without any loss, but in fact, the Divine Realm merely uses its rules to create an identical body for him."
"It is roughly equivalent to the Divine Doppelganger Technique, only more sophisticated."
"The strange thing is, where do their true spirits come from?"
"No, that is not right either. There is no true spirit inside them, only a consciousness. Their consciousness and body appear closely linked, but in reality, there is no connection whatsoever."
"The consciousness carries this body's information. Every time the Divine Realm's rules resurrect him, they do so by extracting that information and reconstructing the body."
"But why does he always carry the aura of that disciple I have never met?"
"Even after repeated resurrections, my unseen disciple's aura remains within him."
"It made me think he was my disciple!"
A figure whose features could not be discerned
