"So that's it... the 'quality' and 'quantity' of the soul (spiritual power), as well as division and control... are three different dimensions. It seems that my previous research direction is still a bit biased." Orochimaru whispered to himself, his golden snake eyes shining with light of enlightenment and excitement. He decided to invest more time and energy in the future to delve into the mysteries of the soul.
At this moment, Amado, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Chen-kun, your words gave me a very bold guess." He pushed up his goggles, his tone as calm as ever, but his words were like dropping a depth bomb on a calm lake.
"I have been studying the masks you brought recently, and I found that the ancient monks and our current practice system, which is the Chakra Ninjutsu practice system, may be fundamentally two completely different paths."
"For ancient practitioners, the core of their cultivation was not Chakra, but most likely what you said... soul."
"The more than twenty masks we are currently studying, the so-called 'gods' behind them..." Amado paused and glanced at the strange masks placed in special containers.
"Do you think it's possible that they are the ancient practitioners who cultivated their souls to the extreme?"
"Through some method unknown to us, they have cultivated the power of their souls to an incredible level. They are powerful enough to distort reality, and even... steal part of the power of the world, thereby establishing themselves as gods!"
Boom!
Amado's words were no less than detonating a nuclear bomb in the minds of several people.
"This... how is this possible... how can "gods" be cultivated by humans?" Xie subconsciously retorted.
Amado ignored the shock of several people and continued to state his arguments.
"These days, I have conducted a comprehensive analysis of these masks and the techniques behind them, and discovered an interesting pattern."
"That is, no matter which 'god' we want to communicate with, no matter how strange the ritual sacrifices or the methods of performing spells are, 'soul' always seems to be a substitute for these sacrifices and spells. It is like a kind of... hard currency that spans across all gods."
"What does this mean?" Amado's eyes flashed with wisdom, "It means that 'soul' is something that these 'gods' generally desire, or rely on for survival. The stronger the soul power of a sacrifice in the experiment, or the greater the number of souls sacrificed, the more powerful the 'gods' can show."
"So, my conclusion is that these 'gods' are essentially a group of advanced life forms that feed on souls and use mental power as energy. And they were once, probably, human beings just like us."
On the other side, Orochimaru, after experiencing the initial shock, fell into an extreme frenzy!
His golden snake eyes widened, his breathing became extremely heavy, and the expression on his face switched wildly between excitement, obsession, and greed.
"Hehe... hehehe... hahahahahaha!"
Orochimaru let out a series of hoarse and crazy laughter. He turned his head sharply and looked at Amado.
"Amado! I think your idea is really interesting."
"You're right, who says gods can't be humans?"
"In our current Ninjutsu system, don't there also exist 'gods'? Sage of Six Paths is too far away, but 'God of Shinobi' Hashirama Senju, isn't it a living person?!" Orochimaru pointed at Senju Chen, and his voice became sharp with excitement, "Look, he is the grandson of "God"! If another hundred years pass, in the eyes of future generations, what is the difference between First Hokage Hashirama Senju's deeds and those gods in ancient mythology?!"
"In this case, how can we conclude that the ancient 'gods' behind these masks... couldn't have been human beings?!"
Orochimaru's words were like deafening thunder.
"Could it be possible for God to be a human being?" Scorpio was shocked by the two people's remarks and his outlook was a bit shattered.
After listening to what Amado and Orochimaru said, Senju Chen was also shocked and speechless.
Amado's conjecture was too unreasonable and subversive of cognition. After listening to Amado's words, even Senju Chen, who knew the plot, felt that his world view had been severely impacted.
Damn it!!!
How dare you crazy people even think about it!!!
How can "gods" be explained in this way?
The end of science is all metaphysics!!!
He looked at Amado blankly, with only one thought in his heart: Good guy, I call you good guy! You are the real time traveler, right? With your imagination, it would be a pity not to write online articles!
As a time traveler who knows the original work, Senju Chen knows that Death God in the original work is real, but I have never thought that these so-called "gods" may actually be "human beings" in nature!
With this vision and structure, a few people suddenly jumped from fighting among ninja villages to mortals cultivating immortals and stealing Deva Path!
Could it be that what he traveled through was not just a Hokage world where he could practice Ninjutsu?
Or is it a world of cultivating immortals where one can become a "god"???
Senju Chen suddenly looked at Amado with bright eyes.
He did not refute Amado, but thought that what Amado said might actually make some sense.
Ninjutsu is nothing, cultivating immortality and becoming a god is the right way!!!
It may also be because I read a lot of novels in my previous life. Senju Chen never thought there was any problem in cultivating humans to become "gods". Think about it, even in Journey to the West, which I often read when I was a child, there were not too many gods who became immortals through cultivating humans.
Sage of Six Paths Although his mother's race is Otsutsuki, he is still a mortal at heart, and his great grandfather is a complete mortal.
But in the eyes of the world, aren't they all "gods"?
When the power surpasses the understanding of the times, when the lifespan spans the long river of history, mortals can also become gods.
But the only thing Senju Chen is unsure about is whether the practice system of this world supports the kind of transformation from human to "god" that Amado said.
Because now this is a ninja world dominated by Chakra.
But these are not important. We have a bunch of cutting-edge scientific madmen here at Shinobi World. If it works, we can just let them study it carefully.
If the few people in front of me can't figure it out, then Senju Chen doesn't think anyone can figure it out.
Looking at Orochimaru, who was in madness, and Amado, who was still calmly analyzing, Senju Chen suddenly felt that bringing these madmen together might have been the most correct and craziest decision he had ever made in his life.
What does it mean to dominate Shinobi World.
From today on, their research direction is - to study gods, enslave gods, and finally, become gods.
In the laboratory, Orochimaru's morbid laughter continued for a long time, intertwined with the cold "didi" sound from the instrument, composing an overture called "Crazy".
