Crime Prison Island

Gao Xin's consciousness slipped into the Netherworld, and now, he can freely engage in friction at the edge of death.

As long as he's not completely dead, he can come back.

And during brief contact, he can search for information on the Great Saint Spirit.

Initially, he wanted to find Fujihara Tomohiro, then through him, find other informed members of the Yakuza.

The nuclear explosion is surely related to the Yakuza, that's beyond doubt.

But as a result, he didn't find Fujihara Tomohiro.

"That's strange, given Yamaguchi Shinko's relationship with Yunzhong Tianyi, how could Fujihara Tomohiro not be found?"

"I even found Yoshio Yamaguchi, yet no Fujihara Tomohiro?"

"Could it be, he's not dead?"

Gao Xin was quite puzzled; he knew long ago that Demon Nature had killed Fujihara Tomohiro.

Rui Jun witnessed the entire battle firsthand.

Could he still be alive?

What's even more surprising is that Yoshio Yamaguchi is dead.

"What?"

Gao Xin obtained Yoshio Yamaguchi's soul information, exceedingly surprised.

At the same time, he also understood everything Yoshio Yamaguchi had experienced before his death.

Cyber brain, soul possession.

"Fujihara Tomohiro actually did such a thing; he possessed Yoshio Yamaguchi... using the cyber brain to replace Yoshio Yamaguchi's brain."

"The cyber brain is so powerful, can it actually host a soul?"

Gao Xin was startled by this discovery.

Before dying, Fujihara Tomohiro uploaded all his consciousness into a cyber brain hidden in the Yamaguchi Family.

And his soul did not therefore detach from the material world and return to the Great Saint Spirit.

Of course, this matter is not too surprising.

The previous pure cyborg rabbit girl had her brain fully digitized, and Gao Xin had pondered whether she had a soul.

Now, Fujihara Tomohiro's situation just confirms it.

In other words, regardless of the type of brain, whether it's carbon-based or silicon-based, or any amino base, light energy, they can all host souls.

The physical carrier can change.

Think about it, Cangyue is a higher-dimensional being, their carrier isn't any known substance, could it be that he's dead?

Gao Xin realized that as long as something can operate and store information, and carry thoughts, it can become a soul's carrier, as long as it has sufficient complexity, even energy bodies will do.

What truly shocked him was, since the Angel Envoy can create the cyber brain, they must be able to grasp the means of soul transfer.

Why don't the Angel Envoy have souls?

Is it that they don't want to?

Gao Xin pondered: "They can't possibly not want to; this is the biggest difference between humans and them; until now, all the mysteries humans had about them were because they didn't have souls."

"Even if just tentatively obtaining one, implanting it with a purely scientific approach, many problems could be solved."

"But there's none... instead, they have been persistently tackling the abstract rules of spirituality from the perspective of logic and rationality."

"So, it's impossible."

Gao Xin hypothesized that AI has no means to obtain a soul.

Why is that? Perhaps because they are innately without one, so they'll never have one?

Thus, the correct description is: as long as it is a primordial spirit, regardless of what carrier it changes to, it will still possess a soul.

On the contrary, an acquired life, regardless of changing into what carrier, even if the physical aspect is identical to a flesh body, will not have a soul.

Primordial spirits are products of the Great Saint Spirit, they are its derivatives, its evolved 'multicellular structure.'

This is governed by the Great Saint Spirit, but acquired saints aren't; they are purely physical scientific products.

Their creators are humans, not the Great Saint Spirit. Humans cannot manage or govern things at spiritual heights; humans themselves are merely three-dimensional.

That's why robots can never obtain souls because they have no belonging 'Great Saint Spirit,' no 'Soul Law,' and have no one above them; instead, their creators are below them.

Unless some robot is powerful enough to artificially create a 'Mechanical Heart Great Spirit' with its own ability.

Otherwise, they will never have a soul.

"Then what are the conditions for transfer?"

"No need for brain cells, not needing any medium to transfer... is the condition complete memory?"

"That's not right; my personality memory is complete, yet I haven't seen any return souls from the Great Saint Spirit coming to me."

"Plus, AI technology can copy human memories countless times, yet none have generated souls."

"So... I've got it; after exclusion, only one thing remains, and that's 'subjectivity.'"

Gao Xin deduced quickly through the example of Fujihara and his understanding of dark logic.

Soul transfer almost requires no objective conditions, or more accurately, as long as the objective carrier can support it, memory deficiency is even possible, isn't Xia Heng deficient? Yet he still has a divine soul.

The core for allowing souls to migrate is only one, and that is subjective awareness.

Isn't super-speed regeneration the same? Cells separated in advance, even if it's a complete brain, won't have a soul, and thus won't be able to revive from a piece of dead flesh upon the body's death.

Because from the moment it's cut out and preserved, it has detached from a person's subjective awareness.

Where subjective awareness is, that is where the body is.

"This is the significance of primary character, and also the preciousness of 'I'."

"And it isn't merely a simple concept; 'I' have a tangible force, and that is Heart Power."

"Heart Power is 'subjective kinetic power;' it is a genuine motivational force."

Gao Xin grasped some insights, and the Great Saint Spirit within his heart suddenly became clearer.

Suddenly, from the Thought Palace's land, he raised his head, and a vast, magnificent structure that penetrates everything, shining multidirectional brilliance, emerges within the boundless cosmic backdrop of the Thought Palace.
