Chapter 226: Flying Castle and Soul Worm

Lu Zhiyu was in the base control room of the flying castle. The whole base was made of cold, hard steel.

Aside from a glass ball that was at the control center, there was only one levitating chair. Footage from in and outside of the castle was projected onto screens from all directions. As such, Lu Zhiyu was able to connect to the control system of this flying castle if by sitting on that one single chair.

The control system was foolproof, and anyone who had awakened their mind power could use it. This was an important facet, as it was not always Lu Zhiyu that was controlling the flying castle. However, most of the time, he had it in autopilot mode.

Lu Zhiyu looked at the ring that was floating in the glass ball in the control center. This was the ring that had been taken from the bionic robot of Atlantis.

It was a very unique piece of technology that could create repulsion between the object and the ground. The technology was not exactly negative gravity, but it was close enough.

Lu Zhiyu was excited as he imagined the applications of this levitation. For Atlantis, this was an easy piece of technology, and it had already been mass-produced and minimized in size. After Lu Zhiyu took one ring from the bionic robot’s head, he had called it the levitation ring.

The control room that Lu Zhiyu was presently within, which was at the base of the flying castle, was actually weightless. As such, its floating force could support the whole flying castle.

He only needed to adjust the repulsion force between the levitation ring and the ground in order to lift off or land the flying castle. Moreover even when the flying castle was in the astral, the levitation ring could provide enough gravitational force to stabilize the environment inside the castle.

“It seems like the technological power of this civilization has not progressed as far as I had imagined it would by now. It is still in the realm of the human imagination, but there is nothing we can compete against yet.” After Lu Zhiyu had familiarized himself with the levitation ring, he then modified the flying castle. However, it was still a long ways from being able to travel in the astral.

Ecosystem and life cycle… There is so much to consider! Where should I begin?

Lu Zhiyu’s brain was racing furiously. Ideas were constantly popping up, which he quickly made into blueprints and drafts. Then, the door behind him suddenly opened.

At that moment, two little kids rushed in from the outside, then immediately started to fly. Even though they did not spread their wings, since it was a weightless environment, when they opened their arms, they just floated around in the control room!

“Papa! The egg you made before, it hatched!” The older of the two sisters, Verthandi, said to Lu Zhiyu, while gesticulating excitedly with her hands.

“Yes! It really hatched!” The younger sister Delmedi nodded non-stop.

“Hatched into something this long!”

“A long worm!”

“Blargh!”

“Super disgusting!”

As the two girls were playing off of each other’s comments like people do in an improv comedy show, Lu Zhiyu burst into laughter. However, once Lu Zhiyu quickly realized what they were talking about, he stood up from the levitating chair in the control room, then flew towards the inner cabin door.

“That is not an egg! It is an embryo! It really hatched? Let’s go and have a look!” Lu Zhiyu yelled on his way to the door.

This embryo was a creature that had been created by Lu Zhiyu’s during an impulsive whim. This was not an ordinary creature, but a special creature that was an existence somewhere between energy and conscience.

Even though it had many flaws, Adenos had been able to use it to discover the system of soul flames. Moreover, it greatly inspired Lu Zhiyu in further discoveries.

“So, the structure of conscience and soul can not only be presented a single form, but can also be presented in the form of a soul flame!” Lu Zhiyu explained to the two girls.

When he had created it, he was trying to create a creature that could exist between conscience and life. In this way, it wouldn’t just be a conscience that could not interfere with reality.

However, such a creature would be quite different from normal lifeforms as well. This development would also help evolve Lu Zhiyu’s understanding of soul and consciousness.

After Lu Zhiyu and the two girls went through the steel tunnel, the door behind them closed and the lights were shut off instantly. All of the projections immediately disappeared as well, as the room switched into idle mode.

Upon their entering the laboratory, all gravity force returned. As such, Lu Zhiyu landed gracefully, then walked on the floor normally. The two girls almost fell on the floor as soon as they crossed the threshold, but were lucklily grabbed by Lu Zhiyu before that happened!

They looked around, noticing that there many empty incubators in the room. Within the incubator that was the furthest away, there was a semi-transparent worm. It opened its mouth, which was filled with sharp teeth. It was ramming into the glass wall, trying to escape!

The worm had transparent skin, and through that skin, one could clearly see that there were no organs within it body. In fact, only a black flame could be seen at its core. It was a soul worm, a lifeform that sat in between the soul world and the normal world!

The two girls followed Lu Zhiyu, one on each side of him. They pressed their hands and faces on the glass wall, opening their big eyes to observe the worm inside the incubator.

“Wow!”

“Did you see that?”

“So scary!”

As the two kids put their hands together and made faces of disgust, they commented in amazement at this unique creature. They were disgusted by the ugliness of the worm, but were also curious about it.

Lu Zhiyu opened the incubator cover from above, then gently brought out the soul worm and placed it in front of the two girls. They quickly covered their eyes, and were screaming, but they were also trying to look at the creature from the gap between their fingers!

Lu Zhiyu held the worm tightly. It was twisting constantly, trying to bite Lu Zhiyu.

Lu Zhiyu could see that this worm really existed, but he still could barely believe it. Even though Lu Zhiyu had created it, he didn’t expect that it would have hatched so soon. Moreover, it was much more stable than he had expected it to be!

The soul worm also had an insanely impressive lifespan. Without restrictions or outside influences, it could exist forever. But, the soul worm was also like a soul flame, meaning that it was constantly consumed. So, when external forces caused it to be sucked dry and run out, it died.

However, also similar to soul flames, it had a strong devouring power and the ability to constantly evolve. It could also connect the magic network in order to push its own evolution.

However, without cells and life templates, this form of evolution was uncontrollable. Thus, the speed of its evolution and reproduction would be much faster than normal lifeforms.

If I were to create a world with this type of lifeform, wouldn’t it be like a natural Divine Kingdom? Then, the endless birth and consumption of the creatures would constantly provide nutrients to the Divine Kingdom, thus making the natural Divine Kingdom much stronger!

Furthermore, this new Divine Kingdom would be different from my Divine Kingdom, which was solely a world of conscience information. This one would be the real Kingdom of God, strengthened by the soul of the believer! This way of evolution seems like it would be way faster!

Lu Zhiyu’s head was filled with countless ideas. As he clenched his fist tight, the first experimental soul worm disappeared into dust. Since it was born from the original power of conscience and Source Form, it would naturally return to its origin after its death.

“Ah! The worm died!”

“Poor thing!”

The two girls opened their mouths wide. Lu Zhiyu then grabbed them and said, “Alright, alright! Forget about the worm! Eva must have made something tasty for us prepared in the kitchen by now, so let’s go eat!”
