Chapter 1298 The Quest For Evolution.


    ??Any one of his conjectures could be why he didn''t gain any information about her evolution from the soul fragment. But if it were the first, it would show that despite her confidence in her soul fragments, the great mother knew to keep some things confidential. That may mean that the colony that formed the great mother is not as united as he thought.


    He thought to himself, "It doesn''t matter now. If she can do it, then so can I. I already know the requirements for the evolution of the soul. Thew of the soul and a suitable primal. All I just need is to find a primal."


    ording to thew of the soul, the soul can continuously evolve. This is not a new or unprecedented acknowledgment. It is even acknowledged in the world of manifestation. The evolution of the soul is a feature of the path of perfection and divinity. It is how the path of the soul leads to the awakening of the soul after the body-forging stage.


    Even the souls of demons also evolve. But after the breakthrough to the mana stage and the formation of the soul core in the soul space, soul evolution has always been apanied by the assistance of the world. This assistance is either in the form of mana, Origin energy, faith, or cosmic energy.


    Unfortunately for soul prowlers, that assistance is not present in the spiritual dimension. He could achieve this evolution and dig out the potential of his soul if he had ess to thew matrix andw fragments. It would be very easy to do too ording to his estimates.


    Even Aeternus who couldn''t wieldws could usew fragments to turn his soul into a concept. It is a kind of soul evolution based on thew of the soul. But there is no such thing down here in the spiritual dimension.


    All those things are primals but he doesn''t have ess to any one of them here which is why he believes that the great mother seeded in the evolution after she created the Phoenix race to send her resources.


    He didn''t give up though. He continued trying to evolve himself. It became extra important to do so when he couldn''t increase the quantity of the grafted soul fragments anymore. The grafted soul fragments are not his soul. They are just a part of him in a sort of symbiotic rtionship. So there is a limit to what he can handle without it bing too much of a burden on him.


    Heined to whoever would listen, "This is not what I wanted from you."


    Unfortunately, there''s no one around to sympathize with his woes. In fact, there is probably no soul prowler who willin about the inadequacy of Origin energy. But he had toin because he had be a house with a weak foundation.


    His core is still the same soul fragment he came with into the spiritual dimension. This is despite the fact that he has increased in strength by 3 times. What''s worse is that the shell of grafted soul fragments began to slow him down. The rate of empowerment couldn''t keep up with the power necessary to move himself.


    He has be a man in a desert who has the opportunity to carry as much water as he can possibly can. He was lucky to encounter a rare Oasis in the desert. But unless he decides to stay in the Oasis forever, he will have limited water and he also has to limit the water he carries away so that it won''t impact his speed too much.


    He has reached that point now. His size has returned to 100 meters in diameter. His core soul remains at 1,000,000,000 points but his soul force has increased in power because of the soul grafts. Unfortunately for him, he is getting slower with each additional soul graft.


    His situation is not without solutions. In fact, he has numerous solutions to choose from. He could absorb the soul fragmentspletely into his soul with or without Origin essence. In this way, they won''t be a cocoon around his soul but part of his core soul.


    He can run mad if he assimtes the soul without Origin essence. But if he uses Origin essence to eliminate the risk of madness then he will lose the Origin essence. It might be safe to use Origin essence but he feels it is too important to use for something like this.


    At least he is not willing to spend the only Origin essence he has until Legion manages to make more. As it is, it would take 30,000 years for Legion-1 to make another one. It would be regretful if something more important came up in the meantime.


    "Should I try Chaos energy?" he asked himself and the other clones.


    "Aeternus replied, "As someone who very intimate with Chaos energy, I do not rmend that."


    Chaos energy is the other type of energy they have ess to apart from mana and Origin energy. Mana and Origin energy can''t help him directly but it is uncertain if Chaos energy would have a beneficial reaction with theher waters.


    The feedback from the other clones helped him to make a decision. He decided that it was too dangerous to mess with Chaos energy. He knows how dangerous Chaos energy is to everything apart from Aeternus.


    He isn''t immune to Chaos energy and Legion also isn''t willing to let such a dangerous energy enter the mindwork. In fact, Aeternus himself is not immune to Chaos energy and he is a high-grade demon. So he had to continue trying something else.


    He spent more than a hundred years on the problem of evolution without making any progress. The failure made him frustrated and angry.


    "Will I be stuck here forever?" hemented.


    The stagnation in finding a way to evolve means he didn''t grow at all during the 100 years of trying. It is something to be frustrated about.
