The Returning Breath World is not a world of sexual reproduction; all new populations are cultivated from souls plundered from other worlds.
After they are born, as they evolve to the point where their bodies generate energy, the world memories from the depths of their souls will automatically awaken, directly infusing information into their minds and completing the initial transmission.
This method is used by many races, such as dragons, who acquire their knowledge of the outside world through inherited memories at birth.
The same applies to the Returning Breath World; when their bodies generate energy, information from the Returning Breath World automatically appears in their minds.
The information infused into Black Soluo was extensive and varied, including a basic introduction to the universe, an introduction to the Returning Breath World, extensive descriptions of plants and animals, information about souls, and so on.
It was equivalent to directly implanting a basic overview of millions of books in the Wizard World into their heads.
This allows newborn beings to acquire a vast amount of knowledge automatically, without needing to learn it further.
No wonder there was nothing about learning in the memory scenes of the Level-Five Lord of Souls. It turns out that the information was instilled in him during his early childhood, so he didn't need to learn anything later in his growth.
No wonder they advance faster than wizards; this knowledge infusion alone allows them to surpass wizards in the initial stages.
It would take hundreds of years of study for a wizard to reach the same level of knowledge.
Of course, there's also a downside: too much knowledge is being instilled, and normal organisms simply can't absorb it all in a short period. It can only be absorbed slowly as the level increases.
Furthermore, because the information they are given is too comprehensive, it can cause them to lose their desire for unknown knowledge and make it difficult for them to break free from the intellectual prison imposed on them by the World Will.
Therefore, in the early stages, life in the Returning Breath World progressed very quickly, but once they advanced to level four, their strength was no match for that of the Stigmata Wizard. This highlights the importance of original knowledge.
The Lord of Souls of the Returning Breath World is like a product off an assembly line, while the Stigmata Wizard are like exquisite handcrafted items. Although they may seem like the same product, there is actually a fundamental difference between them!
This is why they were frequently defeated by Leo. They were almost identical, and when faced with a powerful opponent, they had no ability to resist.
The sheer volume of knowledge imparted by the Returning Breath World, which would be difficult for ordinary life forms to grasp in a short period, was completely absorbed by Leo in the blink of an eye.
Although most of the knowledge imparted overlapped with what he had learned before, there was still a small portion that Leo had not encountered before.
The Black Soluo has only just arrived and has already achieved such results; the pain of having his soul torn apart seems insignificant.
However, Leo also discovered some interesting things in the information he received during the empowerment, namely that the original consciousness of the Returning Breath World was mixed with a lot of personal biases.
This subtly influences these newly born souls.
For newborn souls who are still blank slates, after being bombarded with a large amount of knowledge and then subjected to brainwashing, their future growth is almost impossible to change in their understanding of the true nature of the Returning to the Returning Breath World.
This is a brainwashing process that starts from newborns.
Furthermore, the brainwashing process lasts a lifetime, depending on the length of time the information is absorbed.
This leads to the result that these beings born in the Returning Breath World will have an extremely strong and terrifying sense of identification with the Returning Breath World.
After reading this brainwashing information, Leo could only say that these brainwashed souls would become die-hard loyalists of the Returning Breath World.
It's a level of fanatical worship even greater than a wizard's devotion to the Wizard Consciousness!
They would do anything for the Returning Breath World Will, even if it meant dying for their world, they would not hesitate for a moment.
"If you look at it this way, the Returning Breath World is more like an evil parasite, controlling all life to obtain sustenance for itself."
Leo frowned, feeling as if he had discovered the essence of the Returning Breath World.
From the time when the Lord of Souls had no Power of World Origin, to now being infused with information from the Returning Breath World and discovering the brainwashing messages hidden within, the original will of the Returning Breath World seems rather off.
However, Leo didn't understand the World Will very well, and could only instinctively sense that there was something wrong with the world's World Will in the Returning Breath World.
Leo couldn't pinpoint the specific problems. From the perspective of the Returning Breath World, his actions were justified. If Leo were the World Will, he would have done even more thoroughly than the Returning Breath World.
With the information empowerment, the clone Black Soluo was effectively integrated into the Returning Breath World, becoming indistinguishable from other beings and no longer at risk of exposure.
With a soul at the Stigmata Level, he was practically invincible in the early stages.
The clone is currently useless; it will only be helpful to the main body after advancing to the Level-Four Lord of Souls.
Leo stopped asking about the progress of his clone Black Soluo; he was content as long as he knew that Black Solo was still healthy and alive.
The main focus remains on the war in the Gran World. The battle between the puppet army and the wizard army has ended, with the wizard army emerging victorious.
This is how it appears to lower-level wizards, of course.
Since the victory in the war, the smile on Boiling Blood Tyrant Body's face has never faded, as he waits for the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard to return and calculate the war merits.
He commanded the latter half of the war, and naturally, he earned considerable military merit.
As for the battle at the Soul Passage, Leo didn't inquire further, clearly indicating that they didn't want those below level four to know about the situation there.
However, with the war over and no more soldiers dying, there would be no more souls being produced. The Lord of Souls would have no reason to continue fighting the Stigmata Wizard, and the battle at the Soul Passage would not last long either, ending soon.
While waiting, Leo also went to see Hu Jianxing and the others. Of the 40,000 academy wizards who set off, only 30,000 remained, a casualty rate of 25%. For them, who were all First-Level Wizard, this casualty rate was not high, and was even a bit low.
Of the seven million Gulu Beast, less than five million remain, with over two million having perished. Of course, the prolonged battles have significantly boosted the strength of the Gulu Beast, with many breaking through their bottlenecks and advancing to higher levels.
The Gulu Beast's casualty rate was not high throughout the battle, falling into the lower-middle range.
This was thanks to the perfect teamwork between the academy's wizards and the Gulu Beast; their long-term collaboration taught them how to protect themselves on the battlefield.
Leo was still pale and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him over. Everyone who saw him advised Leo to rest and recover from his injuries.
Six months later, the Purple-Gold Vine, the Soul-Devouring Seal, the Interstellar Wanderer, the God of Giants, the Level 5 Pureblood Dragon, along with two other Level 5 Stigmata Great Wizard and four Level-Four World Lord, all returned.
There are three level six individuals and four level five individuals. Including Leo and Boiling Blood Tyrant Body who stayed on the mothership, there are a total of six level four combatants.
The Wizard Alliance boasts a remarkable 13 members at level four or higher!
The first level of the mothership was where everyone gathered for the first time.
The three Level 6s sat at the top, followed by Level 5s, with Level 4s at the very edge. Among those of the same level, the World Lord was always positioned behind the Stigmata Wizard.
"Although we suffered considerable losses in this battle, we gained far more. The number of Lord of Souls the Returning Breath World who died was three times that of us, and the number of ordinary troops who died was four times that of us. I will report this to the Wizard World and recommend everyone for commendation." The Purple-Gold Vine knew how to boost morale, and its first words were to praise the achievements and inspire everyone.
The Stigmata Wizard remained expressionless upon hearing this, because their battle merits had already been distributed, and those like Leo had already used them all.
Those World Lord survived had more excited expressions on their faces; they had the highest casualty rate.
Even the Stigmata Wizard didn't die; more than half of them perished.
Hearing of his military achievements now naturally brings him considerable comfort.
After all, there are too many good things in the Wizard World, and they have long coveted them. However, those treasures cannot be purchased with ordinary energy crystals. Apart from bartering valuable resources, they can mostly be purchased with battle merits.
" The Gran World is a large world. Now that the great war is over, the Returning Breath World will need some time to prepare before launching the next war."
"Therefore, I have decided to allocate 30% of our forces to develop the Gran World. Half of all resources acquired will be handed over to us, and the other half will be kept by you. This can be considered a small compensation for those who have made contributions."
The words of the Purple-Gold Vine immediately excited everyone, even the Stigmata Wizard couldn't sit still.
Although the war has severely damaged the Gran World, it has also exposed many resources.
They weren't entirely without the habit of secretly mining and pocketing the spoils. Take Yaoyao, for example; she's amassed countless treasures over the years, Heavenly Capital leading the academy wizards and Gulu Beast around outside.
The answer is simple: they hunt when they're bored. But who has ever seen a hunting expedition that involves monopolizing an area of hundreds of kilometers and preventing outsiders from entering?
Anyway, the good stuff piled up in the Shadow Space was huge, and the wizards in the academy had several wizarding rings stuffed inside.
Even the price of blank wizard rings carried on the mothership increased by 20% because of their actions!
Now that the Purple-Gold Vine has completely lifted the restrictions on resources, given the current military strength of the Gran World...
Even though it's only 30% control, it's enough to turn the entire Gran World upside down and plunder every single valuable resource.
The vast world of Gran World might have developed much better had the two World Cluster not chosen it as the location of their war.
But the outcome is already decided: if he still exists after the war ends, it will be an apocalyptic world where no life can survive.
Leo has been here for over a decade, and hasn't seen a single native life form from the Gran World.
It's definitely not that these native creatures are shy and afraid to be seen; rather, native life forms have long been wiped out, and even if some remain, they are hidden in the corners of the world.
