Chapter IV Soul Power
I, who was enjoying the cool moment, was shocked by the old man's voice, "I've finally finished reading. It seems like what you said is true. I've seen your memories before. It's indeed very interesting. There are two things I can tell you."
"Good or bad news?" I realized he could hear me even without my voice. It was a soul-level conversation, at least not one where Mom and Dad would think I was talking to myself.
"One is good news, and the other is for you to judge." The old grandpa's voice replied, "The good news is that I found out that the creativity of the people in your original world is indeed very strong. The last thing you saw was called online gaming, and it was very similar to the composition of this world, and …"
"And I will receive your help to become the savior of this world, or to destroy it with my own hands?" I interrupted him in a rather quiet tone of voice.
"Well, maybe so, so the other news is that you may indeed be the person I'm waiting for."
"The person you were waiting for?"
"Yes, this is related to why I'm in this ring. Didn't many of the novels in your memory come from the story of an inexplicable protagonist who got the help of a memory that has lived for who knows how many years to accomplish great things? I am such a memory, and perhaps I am still alive, but I think a lot of things are not going to be clear in a short time, and you may not like it at all. " As if recalling something, the old grandpa's voice became more and more sorrowful.
"You mean maybe I can help you get out of this ring?"
"Child, you really have a lot of imagination, but unfortunately, even I don't know how to walk out of this ring. But if you can reach the peak of this world, maybe you can help me, and for this reason I have 'tricked' all sorts of people into working hard for me, but the truth is that many people think more about how to use all of my value than how to help me out, because many people don't even realize that I can see through their dirty logic."
"For example, trying to get as much money as possible from you, or even using other methods to exchange for rights?"
"I have to admit that you are a clever child. This is also evidence that I think you are the person I am waiting for." The old grandpa sounded a little excited.
"Perhaps, the transcenders in the story all have good achievements, but you also know that I'm only four years old right now. What can you teach me?"
"A lot. Child, knowledge is power, which is very useful in this world. Before you grow up, you can spend some time to learn more about this world."
I was surprised at how quickly he could use the words of my original world. "It does seem so, but in what way? Books? "Or directly instill a bunch of memories in me?"
"Oh, no, son, you must know that there is nothing in this world that is not earned." The old grandpa's voice was filled with affirmation, "Why do I have to ask you what you need the moment I can communicate with you? This is actually also an exchange. You have given me an opportunity to communicate with you, and I will give you a reward. However, when you want more, you must give me more. "
"Promise to save you? "You know that it's an illusion. At least you still won't tell me where you came from and who you really are."
"No, let me finish. Let me think of an explanation." After hesitating for a while, he continued, "You can treat me as your grandfather's generation. My name isn't important, you can call me whatever you want, but I don't want to be called an old man. The first thing I have to tell you is that it also requires energy to keep talking to you. I'm using the energy left behind by the previous owner of this ring, and I can use it for about two more years, which means that if you don't provide me with energy after two years, I won't be able to continue communicating with you until the next person who can open this ring and supply this energy appears. Your current soul force is pretty good, but it's clear that you don't know how to use this power. If I remember correctly, or the people of this continent haven't forgotten how to use this power, then it was previously known as soul power. "
"Soul power? My grandfather said that this world is a world of magic and combat power. "
"Yes, magic and Dou Qi, these are different forms of expression. You might not be able to understand knowledge that is too much, but what I can tell you is, magic and Dou Qi are just different forms of control over the Power of the Heavens and the Earth that humans have." This was because this was wealth left behind by the Creation God. He had taught the human race how to communicate with the Power of the Heavens and the Earth for their own use. Afterwards, the earliest people would use the soul and body training methods separately, train the soul to draw upon the Power of the Heavens and the Earth, and train the body to use the Power of the Heavens and Earth to strengthen itself, which was called dou qi. No matter what kind of power it is, it's all controlled by the soul. There's even been a time where soul power alone was used to attack, but I don't know how it is right now. I seem to have been asleep for a long time. "
"I think I need to know what is still in this world before I can learn what you can teach me, right?"
"I think so. I remember one time I taught a man something that has been lost to the owner, and in the end that person was forced against the whole world, and more and more people came after him in an attempt to find out how he had acquired the power that had been lost. The bloodshed followed, and in the end he died at the hands of the person he loved the most, because that woman felt that she could not love someone the world feared. " The voice was a bit sad.
"Didn't you say that combining spirit power and dou qi into one is soul power?" Then, if I were to use soul power, would the manifestations be magic and dou qi? "
"Smart boy, yes." The old man said, "Perhaps I can first teach you how to use gentle methods to cultivate your soul power. Spiritual energy is cultivated through meditation, which is a way to train your soul power. However, after being modified by some people, you're still too young to use battle qi to increase your soul power cultivation speed."
"Then tell me the price I have to pay, as you said."
"The price is that you pay 10% of all the soul power you've gained in the next four years, as well as the amount of soul power you'll gain in the future."
"This seems to be an unfair deal. You mean I will become your energy provider, and you will only teach me how to use and more of the energy you need?" I felt like I was being played with.
First of all, after you learn how to use your soul power, you shouldn't even have the chance to use it when you're eight years old. This is what you said, you will only go to school when you're eight years old, and the so-called one-tenth of it will only be the daily energy supply. This doesn't affect your cultivation and cultivation, and what I give you is not only how to teach you how to use soul power, but also how to see everything you want in this world. The old grandpa's voice was filled with passion and allure.
"Seems like I got the upper hand, right?" My voice was strong with mockery.
"I think you should trust me, although I can't tell you more about this ring and me at the moment. You'll know when I think it's appropriate."
"Any parent would tell their child not to trust strangers, wouldn't you say?"
"Then bring the ring to the middle finger of your right hand, close your eyes, and place your hand flat on your chest."
"What are you going to do?"
"Just to make you believe in my little trick."
I actually did as he said. After putting on the ring, I didn't feel anything special, so I closed my eyes and put my hand in place. "Child, this is a book on how to cultivate soul power, talking too much is too much of a waste of energy, at least right now you can't provide it to me, so I have to save a bit of energy. You see for yourself, I remember that your mother taught you how to read so you shouldn't understand.
"How did you get here?" "This is an interspatial ring?"
Don't compare this ring to the thing called a space ring. Oh, right, now that the ring has shrunk to a suitable size, or perhaps you want it to become something similar to a tattoo in your knowledge. This world is called magic prints.
"I think so. I can tell my parents directly that the ring fell, and then this secret will only be known by you and me. Many novels have the principle that a man's wealth is his own fault."
Good night, child. Tomorrow, you can read by yourself, and if you need to call me at night, I know that your fishing village will not allow you to read at night, and you are only four years old, so sleep more and you can help you grow. You don't need to train so hard, do you?
"Good night, old grandpa."
The next day, I successfully used the excuse that the rope broke during swimming to tell my parents that the ring had disappeared. Dad actually said that maybe I could eat fish again the next time. Everyone laughed.
Every afternoon, I would stealthily go to the small cave at the bottom of the cliff to cultivate my soul power. Only I knew of that place, and I didn't even tell Xeno about it. With this secret in mind, I finally knew that it was still quite necessary to leave something behind.
