Chapter 217 Reviving Baiyun, Finding an Opportunity

Inside the cloud core, light and shadow flickered, revealing numerous fragments of memory.

However, these little white cloud tribe members do not have a large amount of memory. The vast majority of their memories are of their daily interactions with their brothers and sisters and their caretaker, "Wenfeng".

"Spinning ball~ Spinning ball~ Soft and bouncy magnetic field~" Several clouds circled together, singing a nursery rhyme belonging to the White Cloud Clan.

Ye Yang, on the other hand, was focused on whether there was any high-value information in his memory.

"The alien race is coming! The alien race is coming!"

"It's scary, but I'll protect everyone!"

Memories of the devastating war resurfaced, and the White Cloud Clan's last stronghold—their city—had fallen into chaos.

Until a powerful human immortal god broke through the wall of his dwelling, and his ethereal divine power swept over it—his memories ceased from that moment on.

It seems that an immortal god casually annihilated the souls of these Little White Cloud Clan members.

Ye Yang couldn't help but shake his head: "My hero is their enemy. There is a difference between justice and injustice in wars between people of the same race, but between different species, complete annihilation is the highest affirmation of the enemy."

After reviewing many memory fragments, Ye Yang still couldn't find any information that was useful to him.

The memories that can be reproduced by the cloud core are the memories that these White Cloud Clan members cherished most in their lives, making it easy to find the location of hidden treasures within them.

secret.

Unfortunately, these young White Cloud Clan members were still minors and had no opportunity to freely explore the Divine Origin Secret Realm, so they naturally didn't have any valuable treasures.

The treasures in their memories are just small gifts given to them by their nurturer, "Warm Wind," and have little value.

"I don't recall Wen Feng leaving behind any treasure. Even if he did, it should have been looted by the other Baiyun Clan members and the powerful humans who invaded later, right?"

Ye Yang shook his head, glanced at the 14 clusters of Little White Cloud Clan corpses, and decided to let them rest peacefully here.

but·

"Generally speaking, reproducing the important memories of 10 White Cloud Clan corpses would nearly destroy a Cloud Core. But this one reproduced 14..."

"The memories of that little White Cloud Clan member actually seem to have some energy left?"

He looked at the cloud core in his hand.

This is both a material to be collected for the mission and an extremely peculiar item, containing a pure soul.

The universe is vast and full of wonders.

This cloud core was taken from the core of the White Crystal Monster, and Ye Yang never knew how the White Crystal Monster was born.

But the closer you get to the city center, the more white crystal monsters there are!

This made him think of the central tower.

"Unfortunately, the density of white crystal monsters and white cloud clan corpses there is extremely high, making it impossible to get close! There is no way to enter."

Ye Yang knew that the great secret of the entire "Cloud Palace" might lie there, but unfortunately, he lacked the strength to do so and could only sigh in vain.

"Not every benefit can be obtained. I've already found a treasure trove of White Cloud Clan adventurers and obtained a precious Blue Aurora Prism, which is enough for me."

"Once I've obtained the treasure from 'The Frontline,' I'll leave Cloud Palace and submit the quest!"

With over a thousand kilometers to go before reaching the treasure trove of "Fireline," Ye Yang used Wen Feng's residence as a base to continuously release clones in an attempt to find a path to the target location.

Once you reach the destination, even if you can't return, you can still use the extraction function of the Gate of Heavens to get the treasure!

The treasure trove of "Fireline" lies outside the area recorded on the Cloud Palace map in Ye Yang's possession.

Moreover, it was closer to the center of the Cloud Palace, so it took him a whole year to reach that distance of over a thousand kilometers!

"This is the Blue Aurora Prism!"

Inside the secret chamber, which stretched for tens of kilometers, Ye Yang smiled as he looked at a crystal among the countless treasures on the wall that emitted a faint blue-purple light.

"There are some other good things in this secret room! Ye Yang, collect the vine on the right wall at coordinates (3823, 239) with the bottom left as the origin, and also the face mask at coordinates (1928, 993) -" Babata hurriedly instructed Ye Yang to collect the other precious items.

This "Fireline" truly lives up to his reputation as a renowned adventurer among the White Cloud Clan. Although he is merely a Realm Lord, he possesses countless rare and precious items. In addition to the Blue Aurora Prism, Ye Yang also obtained treasures worth a total of over 29 Chaos Units.

"What a bumper harvest!" Babata said contentedly.

If "Fireline" hadn't been adventuring everywhere since the beginning of the Divine Origin Secret Realm, he wouldn't have been able to collect so many treasures.

This is only because he is weak and cannot obtain many precious items. One can only imagine how many treasures are hidden in an unexplored cosmic secret realm.

In the palace of Wenfeng!

The enormous clone of the first Golden Horned Beast roared to the sky.

The Immortal-level White Cloud Clan is enormous, so this palace hall is also extremely large. Ye Yang's first Golden Horn clone is limited by his human body and is still only at the Universe level.

So you can stretch out very comfortably here.

"This body cannot be easily shown to the outside world; it's almost suffocating in the inner world."

"It's a rare treat to get out here—"

The giant beast rolled around in the hall, looking quite content.

"Our human clone is still on its way back, how about we conduct a small experiment?"

He then thought of the eternal memories etched into the bodies of the Baiyun Clan.

I thought of the pure soul within the cloud core, the white crystal monster, the tower in the center of the cloud palace, the periodic collective discharge of the White Cloud Clan corpses... all these strange occurrences.

There must be a big secret here!

"Previously, I tried to insert the cloud core into the core area of ​​the White Cloud Clan's corpse, which triggered the fusion of the cloud core and the cloud mass. It felt as if the pure soul aura within the cloud core was rapidly changing, as if it wanted to inherit the cloud mass's memories and then revive the cloud mass—"

"In the end, it failed. Not only did the cloud core shatter, but the White Cloud Clan corpse also lost its life force."

The giant beast Ye Yang toyed with the stones on the stone slab with its claws, seemingly lost in thought: "Judging from the soul aura it emitted at the time, it was the pure soul within the cloud core that couldn't bear so many complex memories and eventually collapsed."

"So that means—"

The enormous head turned in one direction, its cold pupils seemingly able to penetrate the walls and see the 14 small white cloud-like bodies.

"Give it a try?"

Although resurrecting someone by inheriting their memories with a completely new soul cannot be considered truly resurrecting the original person, it is, in a sense, a form of inheritance and rebirth.

It has great research value.

Ye Yang first chose the largest of the 14 cloud clusters.

Crackling sound.

Lightning flashed.

Ye Yang held an unused cloud core in his claws. The cloud, hundreds of meters in diameter, was being attracted and changing shape. The countless tiny cubic crystals that made up the cloud were merging into the cloud core in Ye Yang's hand.

During this process, the cloud unconsciously discharged electricity onto Ye Yang's hooves, a foreign object.

However, after Ye Yang activated the power of Blood Luo and used the first level of "Original World", this lightning attack could not break through his defense at all.

After all, the original Golden Horned Beast clone itself had a life gene level that was 100 times higher, the Blood Luo Power increased it by another 100 times, and the "Original World" increased it by 3 times, for a total of 3 times!

With an amplitude of 3 times, a ninth-level cosmic-level being could kill a first-level world lord with a single slap!

Even though the White Cloud Clan is a special life form with a high genetic level, a lightning attack from a Domain Lord level really can't break through their defenses.

"Hiss~ Upon closer inspection, I discovered that some kind of silver mystical pattern gradually emerged within the cloud core during this process—."

Ye Yang brought his huge eyes closer to observe, and the secret patterns that were gradually appearing inside the cloud core were clearly visible.

He also sensed a strange aura of budding life within it.

However, as the fusion between the cloud core and the cloud cluster continued, at some point, a small crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the cloud core, instantly destroying this perfect state.

Memories began to flood the cloud core in a chaotic manner, and all sorts of images began to appear randomly in the cloud core.

Just like when Ye Yang recalled his memories before, the memories flashed without any temporal or causal rules, only according to how vivid they were.

"It failed."

Ye Yang could sense that the mysterious silver runes were three-quarters complete, just a little short of being perfect.

Perhaps once this set of runes is perfected, it will be able to be successfully fused, reviving the life of the White Cloud Clan who has been dead for countless years!

"I have memorized one-tenth of that set of runes, and I also remember the aura very well."

"Now I have a guess. The White Cloud Clan is an energy life form, but unlike the Demon Slayer Clan, they don't have a 'vital energy core,' or rather, the countless tiny cubic crystals that make up their bodies are their 'vital energy core,' their vital point."

"This makes them extremely resistant to physical attacks, but the Demon Slayers have no souls, while these creatures do, which becomes their fatal weakness."

"In the final battle, the human powerhouses used soul techniques to kill these White Cloud Clan members in batches."

"But the bodies of the White Cloud Clan can sustain life activities and operate perpetually as long as they have even a little energy!"

"And all their memories are recorded in their bodies, so even if their souls are destroyed, their bodies still retain those memories."

"And if a suitable soul could be created to inherit these memories, it might be possible to bring the deceased White Cloud Clan back to life in an alternative way!"

Perhaps this is the secret of that central tower?

The white crystal monsters that can produce cloud cores seem to all originate from the area near the tower.

The purpose of that tower is to awaken all the dead White Cloud Clan members in some distant future, and to 'resurrect' them in an alternative way.

Of course, these are all just Ye Yang's guesses.

"Memory, soul, consciousness, will—which one is truly the most essential element of an intelligent life?"

Ye Yang muttered to himself, since he still had 11 pills left, 10 of which were unused.

They then began experimenting with cloud core fusion using the remaining small cloud clusters as test subjects.

Continuously observe the changes inside the cloud core, observe the generation of the silver runes, the influx and organization of memories, and the changes in the soul.

There is also a completely new understanding of memory, soul, and consciousness.

These understandings and insights form a foundation that will become an aid for Ye Yang when he refines his illusion techniques in the future.

"It failed. All eight failed. The last one felt 95% complete, but it still shattered at the last moment."

Ye Yang shook his head, looking at the debris and dust on the ground.

Now there are only 5 small cloud clusters left in the room, and he has 3 cloud cores left, 1 of which has been used and 2 are unused.

Sheet.

"Cloud cores are quite rare. Keep one; you never know when it might come in handy. The one you've used will be turned in as a quest item."

"The last one is for testing, so we'll choose you. I hope you succeed."

Ye Yang chose the smallest cloud cluster, the cosmic-level body of the White Cloud Clan.

The integration has begun, and the initial and intermediate stages are not much different from before.

However, the cloud core did not break in the final stage!

With the final stroke completed, the silver patterns connected end to end, giving a sense of perfection.

But when the pure soul within the cloud core emitted a slight fluctuation of consciousness, another stroke appeared out of nowhere in the silver rune, as if adding the finishing touch to a painting, and the entire rune structure came to life.

As Ye Yang observed all of this, feeling the vibrant energy of the newborn soul, something seemed to stir within him.

"life!"

He suddenly realized: "The state of mind I'm looking for lies in the mystery of life's birth and growth!"
