If he wanted to use the soul fragments to create a new soul, Yan Xun needed to identify a soul core first.

Like living beings, a soul must have a core. The more powerful the creatures were, the more significant roles the soul cores played. A soul core was related to various abilities of a creature, as well as to the innate attributes.

The first thought of Yan Xun was to create a brave and fearless soul.

He was self-confident that he was good at fighting. However, if he was alone in a war of gods like the one he had witnessed before, he would hardly be able to fight against so many enemies. Even if he had helpers, so would his enemies. What’s more, in a war of gods, it had to be the kings versus kings and the soldiers versus the soldiers. Once he and his helpers were blocked by the gods of the opposite side, the battle at the level of Oracles and believers would become a one-sided slaughter.

The main cannon fodder of a war of gods was of course Oracles. However, Yan Xun had no Oracles; Morani and the others had a few Oracles. The only one who had many Oracles was Manissy, the Goddess of Wealth. However, as people all knew, the Oracles and the believers under the Goddess of Wealth were not good at fighting.

Therefore, Yan Xun naturally focused his research on the creation of powerful Oracles.

What’s more, when doing scientific research, of course, he should first solve the most difficult and key problem. As long as the most difficult problem was solved, others would naturally be solved as well. When he had talked with a group of players, some researchers had said something about that. When they had set up projects and had persuaded their superiors to invest money, they had repeatedly emphasized the most important and key difficulties with some sentences like “break through this, we can reach the advanced international level,” or, “this difficulty is a stubborn disease that troubles blah-blah industry in our country. It seriously affects the self-sufficiency rate.” Yan Xun still could recite a few of the sentences.

Yan Xun himself didn’t know anything about scientific research. However, although he had no actual experience, he had at least seen others do it. Since the great researchers had all said so, this must be the best way!

With such an idea in his mind, Yan Xun started his research.

To make the soul brave, he naturally needed to pick out the soul fragments which contained more courage and aggression and then put them together.

Identifying the attributes of soul fragments was a very difficult technical task, so even the Great Divine Powers may find it a little difficult. Because the soul fragments themselves were already fragile, a little more strength might make them break. At this point, the Great Divine Powers were less suitable than the Weak Divine Powers because their existences were powerful forces. A “look” already contained relatively strong power for the soul fragments.

However, this was not a problem for Yan Xun. He had the wonderful ability of soul sensing, so he could wrap the soul fragments gently within his own field of sensing force. Therefore, he could protect them while studying them carefully.

“It’s a good piece of fragment. It contains the firm belief that a warrior fought to protect his lover until he died!

“Wait a minute, this guy’s lover… Why is the name of his lover so strange?

“I’ll find out where the rest of the fragments are…

“Got it, his lover was… Holy crap! The man’s lover was a horse!

“Damn pervert! Get away! I don’t want to use such a perverted soul as the soul core of my Oracle!”

Yan Xun wiped away the cold sweat that actually didn’t exist. He simply gave up the soul fragment that he had just thought highly of.

He searched again and found another good soul fragment.

This piece belonged to a person who had resented those people who had persecuted her. When she was dying, her resentment had been stronger than the fear of death. She hated that she couldn’t kill more of them.

It took Yan Xun some time to find other pieces of the person’s soul, but it turned out she had been a prostitute. The woman had been forced to be a prostitute. She had endured it and prepared poison quietly, and finally, she had poisoned the man in charge. Then she had committed suicide by poisoning herself.

There was no doubt that since she was dead, things would definitely get worse and worse. It was hard to say how many people would get involved, but at least the procuress behind her couldn’t escape.

It was nice revenge, but unfortunately, the woman was a half-elf. None of the gods of the Natural God System she had believed in had a priesthood of Revenge. Otherwise, she would be welcomed in that God’s Kingdom.

Because her sin was not bad enough to overwhelm her goodness, her soul escaped the degeneration impulsion resulting from sin. She did not fall into hell, nor into the abyss.

Yan Xun inspected the life of this soul with satisfaction. He nodded repeatedly.

Next, he began to create the core of a new soul. He would use this piece as the most important part of the core.

He picked out the pieces that tended to be brave and fierce one by one from the soul fragments. First, he found a less important piece and tried to pick it up with some Divine Power.

Broken.

Yan Xun was stunned for a moment. He looked at his tentacles and then looked at those spirits that had turned into countless light spots. They existed in the smallest and the most basic form. They flowed with the ubiquitous world stream slowly heading to the original place and also the destination of all souls.

“Too much strength? I’ve got a lot of control already!”

He thought about it and found another piece that had little value. He tried reducing his strength again and slightly touched the soul fragment with his Divine Power.

Broken again.
