**Chapter 479: Analysis, Trouble**
Within a Spatial Rift located between Reality World and Dimensional Space, a cloud, no more than a thousand meters in diameter, floated In the Void. The surrounding Void was desolate and barren.
Above the Cloud Layer, a long table and four long benches were set up. The clatter of Mahjong tiles occasionally echoed among the Cloud Layer.
Wade Wilson pointed a finger at the Mirror of Circular Light suspended not far away, his face full of astonishment, and shouted loudly.
The picture appearing in the Mirror of Circular Light was precisely the meteorite where Frank was standing. Under the Mirror of Circular Light, the shadow that was almost integrated with the meteorite was clearly visible.
Seeing that Frank was about to suffer a sneak attack, Wade Wilson's face was full of worry. He immediately stood up, pressed his hands on the Mahjong table, and secretly palmed a few Mahjong tiles.
When Wade Wilson lowered his head again, he suddenly found that Tang Song, Kane, and Hela were all looking at him in unison. Especially Hela, who had been intercepted by Tang Song several times, her cold gaze seemed as if it would freeze him in the next moment.
Wade Wilson reluctantly put the Mahjong tiles back on the table and obediently sat down.
"Boss! I'll deal with him!" Kane said in a muffled voice, watching the shadow gradually approaching Frank. He squeezed the ivory Mahjong in his hand until it creaked. Killing intent flashed in the eyes of him who hated traitors the most.
At this moment, half of Tang Song's mind was focused on this incarnation. No matter which world, the soul was always a wondrous existence.
Unlike the history of evolution understood by human technology, in the rapidly developing Marvel Universe, the evolution of a civilization is the result of natural selection.
From the most basic prokaryotic organisms, through billions of years of evolutionary selection based on survival of the fittest, it gradually becomes a prosperous civilization—
This is true for Earth, and it is also true for most civilizations in this universe.
However, in the eyes of true higher existences, the mystery of the soul cannot be summarized by evolution theory. In their view, the physical body is merely a vessel, and the soul is the true core of an intelligent life.
Whether or not there is a soul in this world is a matter that many scientists on Earth are debating, but for Tang Song, the existence of the soul is an utterly obvious matter.
Even many Black Wizards in the Marvel Universe are experts at manipulating souls, so the existence of the soul is actually no secret.
It's like 1+1=2, an obvious result that requires no thought.
But where does the soul come from? Six Paths of Reincarnation, Hell, Heaven? No! Whether it's Hell or the Netherworld of the Jambudvīpa World, they are merely Transfer Points for souls. After death, souls enter Hell or Heaven, but what about before Hell and Heaven were born? Where did the souls in the world come from then?! From The Void, or are they products of the Rules of the Heavenly Dao, or perhaps, like a virus outside the human body, they come from outside the world.
The three great philosophical questions of life: Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going! The wonder of the soul is even more mysterious than the birth of spiritual energy!
The Buddhist Sect views the physical body as a raft for crossing the sea of suffering. In the Jambudvīpa World, many eminent monks and great experts who ascend to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss also abandon their physical bodies, leaving their so-called golden bodies in temples to bear incense offerings, while their Sarira Transformation into Rainbow fly into the Eight Treasures Lotus Pond in the West, striving for the fruit status of a Golden Body Arhat.
The Taoist School emphasizes dual cultivation of body and soul, but there is also the method of Corpse Release Immortal which involves abandoning the physical body. Many immortal/deities whose physical body foundation is destroyed can still reincarnate and re-cultivate as long as a trace of true spirit remains.
The Asura Demonic Path even regards the soul as a rare type of cultivation resources, like a cook skilled in the Art of Butchery, who has researched a hundred ways to prepare the soul.
They even emphasize the principle of "using the original broth to cook the original ingredients," not only performing Soul Extraction and Refining but also not sparing the sinews, bones, and skin. Various demonic dao magic tools such as the Skeleton Demon, Ghoul White Bone Banner, Heavenly Demon Banner, and Human Skin Bare Body Drum are derived from this situation.
The main principle is not to waste anything. It is even said that some demonic path genius developed a use for women's menstrual cloths to defile the spirituality of others' flying swords and magic treasures.
Wu! A name full of mystery. In the Jambudvīpa World, the progenitors of the Wu Tribe, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, were formed from Pangu's physical body! However, as Tang Song's cultivation base grew higher, the brand of the Yanfu World Source deep within his true spirit became clearer, or rather, he could understand it better.
If Tang Song obtaining the root source imprint before was like getting a math workbook from elementary school to university, complete with answers in the back,
then wanting someone with only an elementary school education to understand advanced mathematics is undoubtedly a pipe dream—
His previous actions of refining the Taiji True Form Diagram, the Twelve Yama Banners, and counterfeiting the Eastern Emperor Bell were, frankly, just copying the answers.
Now Tang Song has learned little by little from elementary school to high school (Golden Immortal). Next, he can try to learn advanced mathematics at the university level. With a foundation, the answers he couldn't understand before are gradually becoming clearer.
The identities of the Twelve Ancestral Witches do not seem as pure as he initially saw. Take his current body, for example, is he Zhulong, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, or the ancient Candle Dragon, one of the Dragon Progenitors?
In the brand of the Yanfu World Source, the Twelve Ancestral Witches perished together with the two Demon Emperors of the ancient Demon Court, but what about the Candle Dragon? It has been alive all along—
If Zhulong is like this, what about the others? If it's really as Tang Song suspects, just thinking about how many aliases those Great Divine Ability Users have makes Tang Song, who is suffering from severe paranoia, shudder.
Fortunately, this is the Marvel Universe, separated from the Jambudvīpa World by who knows how many Chaos Seas. Otherwise, Boss Tang wouldn't be able to sleep soundly, even in his dreams, suspecting that his several cross-dimensional travels were plotted by some old geezer!
Getting back to the main topic, when it comes to the development of the soul, the ancient Wu lineage is much earlier than the Buddhist and Taoist Schools. From minor arts like Zhuyou techniques, rituals for ghost gods, and ancestral spirit dances, to the Six Paths of Reincarnation formed by the Ancestral Wu Houtu.
The ancient Wu lineage is definitely expert-level in the development of the soul, and their utilization of these souls is also pushed to the extreme.
Blood sacrifice and slaughter of nearly a thousand civilizations, hundreds of billions or even trillions of souls were devoured by the Twelve Capital Sky Nether King Banner!
