My Special Ability is Perfect Replication

Chapter 263: Spiritual Being, Immortality

“What is that?”

Puzzled, Ling Jiu descended to what might look like a piece of black matter at the bottom of the sandpit.

It was solid with metallic luster, unlike the surrounding yellow sand. Obviously not like a substance belonging to this planet.

Ling Jiu performed a Devourer. As a black hole appeared above his head and devoured the sand in the surroundings, a large part of the black matter was exposed.

1 meter. 10 meters. 100 meters.

100 meters. 500 meters. 1,000 meters.

It stunned Ling Jiu when the black matter was completely exposed in front of his eyes.

This was a giant black ball with a diameter of over ten kilometers, engraved with mysterious patterns, just like the pattern on a turtle shell. action

“Is this a spaceship?”

Ling Jiu muttered to himself. The force of dimensions penetrated and tried to peer through the black sphere to see what was inside.

The most shocking thing to Ling Jiu was, as soon as the force of Dimensions came into contact with the black sphere, a mysterious force bounced it back before it could peer in.

“Like the Leoux, it can actually isolate the peering of the force of dimensions.”

Ling Jiu was surprised. Instead of going in blindly, he contacted Leoux.

A spaceship of an unknown class like this one was likely to be a very terrifying weapon. It was dangerous to attack or even investigate it recklessly.

So he would wait for Leoux to find a way.

He got Leoux online. Leoux did not sit idly by when he was expanding the floating island.

It drove the Leoux to collect energy around the white hole, creating dark bio-energy crystals for Ling Jiu’s next round of self-cultivation.

“What’s wrong, Ling Jiu?”

“I found a crashed spaceship. Come and take a look!”

“A spaceship? I’ll go over there right now!”

Leoux cut the line. After a while, it came in front of Ling Jiu.

It shocked Leoux to see the black sphere exposed at the bottom of the sandpit.

“I can’t believe it! I can’t believe it!”

“Leoux, you recognize this spaceship?” Ling Jiu asked quickly.

“I recognized it!”

Leoux nodded slightly, shock filling its eyes. “It’s just because I recognized it, that’s why I am shocked. You are freaking lucky. I can’t believe that I can come across this kind of thing. I really don’t know what to say!”

Ling Jiu scratched his head and became even more curious. “What the hell is this, Leoux?”

“If you say it is a spaceship, it is indeed a spaceship. It can cross the universe and is equipped with powerful weapons. In terms of function, it does not differ from a spaceship, but it is not just a spaceship.”

“Because it is some guy’s body!” Leoux said solemnly:

“Body?” Ling Jiu was shocked. “This is obviously a metal substance. How can it be a body? Is it a machine like a Transformer?”

“A Transformer?” Leoux was taken aback. “What is a Transformer?”

“This... I can’t explain it clearly!” Ling Jiu waved his hand. “Forget it. Why don’t you tell me about it?”

Leoux nodded slightly. “Do you know the Evo-gods?”

“The Evo-gods?” Ling Jiu shook his head.

“The Evo-gods are a very peculiar species.” Leoux’s eyes lit up. “I told you before that there are many strange life forms in the universe, including that of flesh and blood, metal, gas, and energy, right?”

Ling Jiu nodded slightly.

“The Evo-gods are energy beings.” Leoux continued. “And there are many types of energy beings. For example, electrical energy beings, atomic energy beings, bio-energy beings, and dark bio-energy beings. There are many types that I can’t tell you all about. The Evo-gods are a very peculiar kind of energy beings. The reason they are peculiar is that they belong to the dark psionic beings.”

“The dark psionic beings?” Ling Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. “Dark psionic energy is the energy that makes up the soul. In other words, the Evo-gods are of soul or spiritual body?”

“You are pretty quick-witted!” Leoux exclaimed and nodded. “You guessed it. Evo-gods are indeed of the soul body, without a physical body, but actual beings that exist.”

“I can’t believe that such beings exist.” Ling Jiu was in disbelief. “The reality is unimaginable.”

“Because they are born in the soul form, the research, development, and utilization of souls by the Evo-gods has reached the point where it is the universe’s first. It is not an exaggeration to call them the number one in the universe, that Evo-gods are inborn soul masters.” Leoux could not hide its amazement.

“So sick?” Ling Jiu gasped.

“Yes, they are so sick!” Leoux exclaimed. “Because Evo-gods are of soul, they often have an extremely long-life span. They can have any body—walking into the body of flesh and blood, or machine—as they want. Because souls are so powerful, the Evo-gods can easily control things, including a top-level spacecraft like the Leoux.”

“These are nothing, of course, compared to their highest wisdom—the Eight Laws of Black Hole Evolution—that is coveted by many.”

“The Eight Laws of Black Hole Evolution?” Ling Jiu’s heart skipped a beat. “Is this a self-cultivation manual?”

“You can call that. But the Eight Laws of Black Hole Evolution neither cultivates the body nor dark bio-energy. It is the supreme secret of soul cultivation.” Leoux slowly said. “Ordinary beings often comprise two parts: soul and body. Even if they practice self-cultivation, they usually start with the body; they can’t cultivate their souls. The reason your soul continues to grow stronger is that as your body becomes stronger, your soul is strengthened under its influence. This is passive reinforcement, the speed very slow. Once the body stops strengthening, the soul will not continue to grow.”

Ling Jiu nodded repeatedly.

There were many secret manuals about self-cultivation on Earth, but none of them were about souls. Even 9527 could give him a piece of dark psionic crystal only.

“So the soul-cultivation methods in the universe are precious and rare. Even a pinnacle civilization of the universe like us, the Emissian, does not have a decent soul-cultivation method.”

Leoux said. “Besides, those self-cultivation methods are rudimentary compared to the Evo-god’s Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution. They are not even close.”

“Is the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution really so magical?” Ling Jiu licked his lips in disbelief.

Leoux laughed without answering the question. “Because of the existence of the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution, the Evo-gods produced its first batch of soul masters.”

“You have got to know that souls are akin to the CPU of a computer; the more powerful the CPU is, the faster the computer runs and the higher the ability to process information. Similarly, the more powerful a soul is, the faster it can comprehend the laws of the universe. So in the process of comprehending the laws of the universe, these soul masters of the Evo-gods have grown extremely fast and produced generations of powerhouses. As a result, the Evo-gods skyrocketed in strength in a short time, aspiring to become the apex life form in the universe as they were the most powerful emerging force. That put themselves in the limelight.”

“And then?” Ling Jiu asked.

“And then, the rise of the Evo-gods finally made the ancient power of the universe feel intimidated. Of course, they could be after the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution, too,” Leoux said. “So war broke out. The Evo-gods were an emerging force in the universe. They at last were destroyed by the alliance of many ancient powers in the universe. Most top powerhouses were dead, only a few remnants escaped, and no one knew where they were hiding.”

“So the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution was part of the reason for the fall of the Evo-gods?” Ling Jiu muttered to himself.

“People are willing to die for money, more so for the secret book of the supreme soul.” Leoux sighed. “You have got to know that the Eight Methods of Star Evolution follow the birth process of black holes, allowing your soul to grow into a black hole-like being in the universe. Can you imagine how terrific the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution is?”

Ling Jiu swallowed hard. “Allowing a soul to grow into a black hole?”

“Yup. A black hole.” Leoux nodded vigorously. “The soul of life is stored in the vast sea of consciousness.”

“The sea of consciousness is like a miniature version of the universe, and the Kindle of the Soul lives in this universe-like sea of consciousness.”

“The goal of the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution is to transform a little Kindle of the Soul into something like a black hole.”

“Are there any celestial bodies more terrifying than black holes in the entire universe?”

“There should not be any, I guess?”

Ling Jiu blinked. In his cognition, the most extreme celestial body in the universe was only black holes. The only thing that set different black holes apart was their sizes.

The bigger a black hole is, the more extreme, and of course, the more terrifying it was.

“There is none, of course.” Leoux shook his head. “In fact, the original purpose of the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution created by the Evo-gods was only to extend lifespan.”

“Because Evo-gods are soul bodies. As long as their souls can live indefinitely, the Evo-gods will be immortal.”

“The lifespan of a black hole is recognized as the longest in the universe. Even the smallest star has a lifespan that is not as long as a black hole.”

The lifetime of a star is inversely proportional to its mass. The greater the mass, the shorter its lifespan.

“A black hole the size of an atomic nucleus has a lifespan that is almost the same as the current age of the universe, while a solar-mass black hole has a lifespan of about sixty-five to the Power of ten years, which is theoretically fifty-four to the Power of ten times older than the age of the universe. It is precisely based on the long lifespan of black holes that the Evo-gods used black holes as the research object, and finally created the Eight Methods of Black Hole Evolution that shocked the universe, making the Evo-gods almost immortal in theory.”

“Immortal?”

Ling Jiu swallowed hard. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he asked what he was most interested in. “You just mentioned that this spaceship is the body of the Evo-gods. Does it mean that an Evo-god is hidden inside?”

“I’m not sure about this.” Leoux immediately shook his head. “The Evo-gods indeed made this spaceship. But I can’t guarantee if there is an Evo-god inside.”

“Why not just open it and see for ourselves?”

Ling Jiu could not wait. “You should have a way to open this spaceship, right, Leoux?”

“Piece of cake.” Leoux let out a faint smile. “I just checked. This spaceship is not built of high-grade alloy—of super-clustered level civilization at most. Opening it up is easy-peasy.”

“Then what are you waiting for? Do it.”
