Chapter 974: Chapter 491: Soul Breakthrough! The Limit of the Nine Star Pulse

This is a planet with highly advanced technology, inhabited by billions of lives.

The cities are composed of floating structures one after another.

“Ali, let’s go online and relax later.”

“Forget it, I’d rather go jogging by the lakeside. Ex No.2 will accompany me. No.1’s charging speed has been a little slow lately… we need to get someone from the AI company to fix it,” two young women chatted inside the driverless vehicle.

Suddenly.

“Buzz~~~” An invisible ripple spread outward, enveloping the entire city, quickly followed by the entire planet.

The two stopped their conversation, and the moving cars came to a halt.

The flowing air froze in place.

Falling leaves stopped mid-air.

The ever-efficiently operating planet, at this exact moment, seemed to freeze as if someone had pressed a pause button, completely coming to a standstill.

“I didn’t expect.”

“In just eight years, I truly managed to cultivate the ‘Heart and Soul All Things Evolution Method’ to this level. Now, with a mere thought, I can form such a realistic planet, and even create the simplest form of virtual realm life.” Li Yuan’s consciousness enveloped the entire planet.

The whole planet—from the cosmic rays passing through space, to the magma flowing deep within the planetary layers, down to the particles that make up matter—was so vivid and authentic.

Billions of lives.

They played out stories of love and hate, schemes and rivalries, every single day on this planet…

For eight years, Li Yuan poured all his energy into the cultivation of the path of the soul.

Constructing virtual realm objects!

Countless times, he destroyed and rebuilt the Spiritual Void Realm.

He wandered through Feixing, Blue Star, Source Star, and Heavenly Sea Star, observing the natural operations of true existence at every corner, recording them, and endeavoring to understand the rules of how the world operates.

He spent long periods sensing the reality of the Void Realm within the Dream Realm Stone.

He even relied on the ‘Great Sun’ within the Mind Spirit Divine Palace to perceive the increasingly authentic illusionary realms.

Many levels of deductions.

“And as of today, the Space Law has finally reached the high rank of True Intention of Space,” Li Yuan smiled. “At last, the world I’ve constructed possesses the taste of reality.”

“Even a True God would likely struggle to distinguish between real and fake.”

Li Yuan was acutely aware of why illusions often fail to trap enemies—why they swiftly regain clarity.

The fundamental reason lies in those powerful beings’ innate ability to sense all things in Heaven and Earth. Even when their perception is temporarily blocked, their awareness can rapidly identify the illusion as false.

Unreal.

From the architecture, the soil, the flow of wind, the cries of animals, and myriad subtle details, they can detect distinctions from the True World.

Then, the moment they realize the world is an illusion, their previously disrupted perception naturally reawakens rapidly.

The illusion collapses!

“But if the illusion were genuinely real, indistinguishable from the outside world, then breaking the illusion would become a hundredfold, even thousandfold, more challenging.” Li Yuan smiled.

Before today, Li Yuan’s observations of all things and comprehension in constructing illusionary worlds had already reached their pinnacle.

The only thing missing was the mastery of ‘Space Law.’

Space is the foundation of everything.

“If this were understood through the lens of a game,” Li Yuan grinned, “my planet would entirely qualify as a ‘Second Earth.’ Unless one were to delve deep into the fundamental laws of underlying matter… they wouldn’t be able to discern truth from falsehood.”

“How unfortunate.”

“The ‘virtual realm lives’ of this world are still too artificial, lacking true consciousness.” Li Yuan sighed internally.

Currently, the billions of lives, though seemingly real, are essentially just interactions controlled by Li Yuan using countless ‘cultural data’ collected from the Seven Star Civilization.

They have yet to achieve independent consciousness.

Just like the comparison between ‘artificial intelligence’ derived from big data in a virtual world versus true ‘artificial intelligence’ capable of genuine independent thought—these are fundamentally different concepts.

“If I could advance further.”

“To make countless virtual realm lives truly come alive, possessing authentic emotions of happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, desires, feelings, and even autonomous growth…” Li Yuan felt a revelation arise: “Then, the ‘Spiritual Void Realm’ I built would reach the Heavenly God level.”

It would rival the Spiritual Void Realms opened by the Heavenly Divine.

But that’s exceedingly difficult.

Achieving this step would be transformative, as even the so-called ‘Soul Masters’ among countless True Gods remain stuck at this threshold.

“Like the Nine Sounds True God.”

“His soul-based attainment is likely on par with mine. The only difference is that the ‘virtual realm’ he constructed is more realistic and vast,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “Though it hasn’t undergone a qualitative transformation.”

Simply put, Li Yuan’s accomplishments in the path of the soul could already be considered among the upper echelons of countless True Gods.

A Demigod.

In twenty years, he had caught up with the results of countless True Gods’ research spanning tens of thousands of years.

Such news, if revealed within the Divine Realm, would surely shock and astonish countless powerful beings.

Such talent in the path of the soul was unquestionably rarer than even the Semi-Divine Nine Star Veins.

Yet, Li Yuan understood.

His rapid progress was due not just to talent but also to the assistance of the Dream Realm Stone, Mind Spirit Divine Palace, ‘Six Realms of Illusion,’ and various other factors… as well as Space Law.

Masters of Space Law never exhibit weak soul attainments.

“Eight years have passed.”

“Let my soul ascend to the True God level first,” Li Yuan resolved.

Rumble~ Li Yuan began guiding the expansion of the entire Heart Void Realm. In the past, the Spiritual Void Realm had been unstable, and even when absorbing the ‘Power of the World’ from the Spiritual World, it would violently erupt.

The power of the mind.

Only what is understood can be controlled.

And now, Li Yuan had finally grasped the essence of ‘Virtual Realm Objects.’

“Buzz~” The expansion of the mind happened in mere moments, and beside the existing Life Planet in the Spiritual Void Realm, more planets suddenly appeared, making the entire Spiritual Void Realm even vaster and more intricate.
