Lin Yi was not surprised by this outcome; rather, it was the only natural outcome.
From beginning to end, viruses have always existed with the purpose of destroying existing life forms. If there are effective means to stop them, that's fine. But if there isn't the Black Death, which ravaged human history, the best example is not to mention the T-virus evolution, which is even more powerful in terms of both infectivity and destructive effect.
Shaking his head, and with the spatial coordinates fixed, he instantly traversed three hundred miles to stand in the center of the ruins of another city. After repeating the same steps to no avail, Lin Yi was not discouraged, but calmly continued...
Three days later, Lin Yi, having determined that there would be no results in the Americas region, shifted his focus.
Africa……
Europe……
Australia……
……
Before I knew it, my footsteps had returned to the place where it all began.
Bed owner city.
The rusted steel could not support the weight, and with a creaking and twisting sound, it sank easily into the sewage beneath our feet. Slow footsteps trod over it, bringing a long-lost glimmer of life to this city that had been completely dead.
This is a dead world.
After 367 hours, 5 minutes, and 17 seconds of searching, Lin Yi became certain of his judgment.
Not only humans, who were once the masters of this world, but all living things, the entire ecosystem has been infected and destroyed by the virus, leaving only this desolate and cold planet... Perhaps new life will be born here after a long time, but until then, this place will only fall into eternal silence.
Stopping in his tracks, Lin Yi, for the 1977th time, opened his palm and made one last search of the world. Just before the spreading activity was about to be completely extinguished, a faint touch gently echoed...
Soul Leap: Chapter 352 Soul Leap (4)
Where do people go after they die?
Long, long ago, when she still lived in a brightly colored world, the girl pondered this question. Of course, it wasn't a profound thought like religion or psychology; it was just something that came to mind unconsciously when she was free or bored.
At that time, the girl believed that people disappeared after they died.
There is neither hell nor heaven in this world. The only thing that makes a person "human" is this world. Here, people can come into contact with matter, feel warmth, and learn about many interesting things. But once they die, all sensations will vanish with life. In other words, that is the absolute end.
But if that's really the case, then what is she now?
Wandering aimlessly above the ruins, the girl had forgotten her purpose, where she came from, and her name due to the excessive time that had passed... Apart from some lingering obsession that prevented her from leaving, she had forgotten everything.
Lin Yi, standing here, captured such a "spirit" that could dissipate and disappear at any moment.
It has no face, no limbs, only a hazy, indistinct outline like mist. If it weren't for that tiny bit of life at the core of the outline keeping it from being blown away, it would have disappeared long ago.
But it was this very trace of vitality that sustained its existence, and the aura emanating from it was quite familiar to Lin Yi.
"...Reincarnators."
Unbelievable.
In his memory, this world was the first world Lin Yi successfully invaded. In this world, he gained the first step of knowledge to open the forbidden zone of life, and it was here that he officially decided to create the God Space. The first few reincarnators were also selected and confirmed in this world. However, as he came into contact with more and more worlds, the tasks that the reincarnators had to face became more and more dangerous. Except for one relatively rare "mental mutation", all of those reincarnators had died... in another world.
However, the activity within this "spirit" is undoubtedly derived from the unique energy of the Main God Space, and it is one of the "Main God Wristwatches" that Lin Yi personally crafted as a blueprint (Chapter 51). Lin Yi could never possibly be confused about this.
He silently took a step forward, but stopped abruptly just as his palm was about to grasp the "spirit."
"calm down."
Talking to himself, the sudden, sharp pain in his left eye was a frantic warning that he was already nearing "saturation" and could not withstand even the slightest bit more "information." Even a tiny, insignificant spirit could cause the current balance to collapse, and that would be the real disaster.
He took a deep breath to suppress the impulse and instead began to think about the origin of this spirit.
The "ghosts" in the spiritual world convinced Lin Yi that souls could absorb active energy and mutate. As a reincarnator in the Main God Space, whether entering a mission world or undergoing enhancement, he would inevitably come into contact with active energy, and it was normal for active energy to remain in his body...
The question is, how did it end up here?
As a reincarnator, one cannot actively initiate a world transfer. Even Lin Yi could not do this without the help of the main god. And if I'm not mistaken, it should have died in another world. Even if its soul survived due to contact with the active energy, it should have stayed in that other world. Why did it return to this original world?
"Or rather... is it not a 'return' but a 'reappearance'?"
Feeling waves of excruciating pain in her eyes, and suppressing the urge to reach out, Lin Yi turned and stepped into the transfer passage behind her, leaving the empty, bewildered spirit to continue her aimless wandering...
----------segmentation----------
Kabane World.
After leaving the T-virus world, the intense pain in his left eye significantly decreased. Although it seemed to be due to staying in that world for too long, Lin Yi believed it was because he had "seen" that spirit, even though he didn't know the specific reason.
Bringing his thoughts back, Lin Yi turned his attention to the world itself.
Like the Origin World and the T-Virus World, the Kabane World is also a zero-activity world. The entire world cannot generate activity on its own and can only generate it through the carrying or interference of "outsiders". In this respect, the existence of Kabane may be a good thing for this world. At least, as Lin Yi currently senses, this world has begun to have a faint activity spreading.
As for the reasons why this phenomenon occurs, apart from Lin Yi, who is the "initiator," the vast majority of the credit should be attributed to those reincarnators.
Previously, after Lin Yi took the initiative to change the Japanese, he left this world without further spreading the Kabane to a wider area. Now, the Kabane's ability to spread throughout the world is entirely due to the proactive actions of those reincarnators.
For them, this was a rather "wise" move.
It was confirmed long ago that the hearts of the Kabane could be used to make enhancement potions. Reincarnators could submit Kabane to the God of God in exchange for reward points by hunting them. Naturally, the more prey, the better. A single Sunbase might be able to meet the needs of hundreds or thousands of Reincarnators. However, as the God of God's space continues to expand, the total number of Reincarnators and their needs also increase. If they continue to be trapped in this small Sunbase, let alone expansion, even basic consumption cannot be met.
Thus, without any prompting from the main god or Lin Yi, the reincarnators automatically introduced the Kabane to other continents. If it weren't for the different world rules, the same Kabane virus wouldn't be able to infect humans into Kabane even if it were thrown into another world, Lin Yi would even suspect that these reincarnators might turn other mission worlds into "point banks" as well.
Of course, Lin Yi didn't come to this world for the Kabane.
Five days later.
"The virus only affects the physical body, not consciousness, so even though the abilities of other systems are disrupted, the 'forbidden zone' remains unchanged."
Rubbing his temples, his mind raced with records and formulas: "But ultimately, the difference between the human soul and the souls of other creatures should be determined by our initial genes. Could we consider life itself to be the foundation of the soul?"
P.S.: I thought the site was messed up and nothing was displaying...
Soul Leap: Chapter 353 Soul Leap (5)
The world of giants.
Destruction is merely a process; plunder is the ultimate goal.
The "core concept" from the Main God Space is fully embodied in this world. After initially using the T-virus's mutated giant virus to destroy the existing system of this world, Lin Yi immediately stopped and changed his approach.
Even today, giants, who have almost no natural enemies in the food chain, are still confined to a controllable range, rather than directly destroying the entire ecosystem like in the T-virus world.
After confirming that the situation had not changed much since "merging" with the main god, Lin Yi quickly immersed himself in researching the new field.
On the surface, the giant virus, one of the variants of the T virus, only changes the appearance... or it doesn't even change anything, but adds a "shell" to the outside of the human body, with almost no change to the inside of the human body. However, the observation results from the Kabane world show that the changes in the human body itself can interfere with the spiritual and soul realm to a certain extent. Under this complicated situation where no specific conclusion can be drawn, all Lin Yi can do is to expand the scope of observation as much as possible.
Experimental Case 1: Applying psychological intervention to an ordinary person who is not infected with the virus.
Result: Direct control
Conclusion: Individual mental and willpower are extremely fragile.
……
Experimental Case 2: Mental Intervention on a Primary Reincarnator Infected with the T-Virus
Result: Loss of resistance after 0.3 seconds
Conclusion: Individual mental and willpower are relatively fragile.
……
Experimental Case 3: Mental Intervention on an Intermediate Reincarnator Infected with the Kabane Virus
Result: Loss of resistance after 0.5 seconds
Conclusion: Individuals have fragile mental and physical will.
……
Experimental Case 4: Mental intervention on a senior reincarnator co-infected with T-virus, Kabane virus, Giant virus, Ghoul virus, and Prototype virus.
Result: Loss of resistance after 1.8 seconds.
Conclusion: The individual's mental and willpower are relatively strong.
……
Multiple experiments have shown that, although neither has been exposed to mental enhancement, physical enhancement can still faithfully reflect on the mind. At least among reincarnators, there is a significant difference between a novice reincarnator who has only been infected with the T-virus and a senior reincarnator who has been infected with a large number of virus types.
It was only under Lin Yi's control that such a result was achieved. Otherwise, given the mental resistance of that reincarnator, even if he were thrown into a world with low to medium activity, he wouldn't be afraid of his mind being interfered with by those active methods... Of course, it's another matter if the world's will takes the initiative to intervene.
The experimental data on this aspect also faithfully reflects the increase or decrease in the mental attributes of the reincarnators. Although the degree is relatively small compared to the physical, strength and agility attributes, the mental attributes of the reincarnators do increase after being infected with the virus.
"...If I remember correctly, mental mutations are considered a separate category within the T-virus mutation system?"
Recalling the classification of T-virus mutations by the Main God when he first began exploring the field of life viruses, Lin Yi now understood why the Main God had specifically listed mental mutations as a separate, incompatible enhancement option.
According to the explanation given by the main god at the time, the T-virus mutation can be roughly divided into two types. One type enhances the external physical strength, including physique, agility, and strength, to achieve a life form similar to "superman". The other type strengthens the mind in one aspect, and obtains abilities such as telekinesis or mind control through quantitative change leading to qualitative change.
Lin Yi believed that if he had chosen to strengthen his mental aspect, his current situation would not be so difficult. However, on the other hand, if he had really chosen to strengthen his mental aspect, would he still have been able to defeat so many opponents and survive until now after losing the maximum bonus of the "forbidden zone"?
I exhaled, setting aside this question that was destined to remain unresolved.
"The priority of spirit and matter is determined by activity, but regardless of which one takes precedence, they can still interfere with each other to a certain extent... Even in the Origin World, there are ordinary people who can unleash powerful forces in emergency situations, which should also be considered a manifestation of 'spiritual interference with matter'."
Only now has Lin Yi finally found a small stepping stone in this unknown territory, and the next steps are quite clear.
"……continue."
----------segmentation----------
The world of ghouls.
In a precise sense, this world was the first active world that Lin Yi invaded. Although it was a low-activity world, it was still very dangerous for Lin Yi, who had never even stepped into the "forbidden zone" at the time. As a result, even the first batch of reincarnators perished in this world.
After the reincarnators drew away the malicious intent of this active world, Lin Yicai used the virus to mutate and infect the main body of the world's malice, and after discovering the existence of the parasitic beast, he directly took action to gain ultimate control over this world.
Just like the previous worlds, after gaining control over this world, Lin Yi did not intend to interfere further. Instead, he simply handed it over to the Main God Space as a "trial space" for the reincarnators. This led to the world becoming the most active world for reincarnators who enhanced their life force without them even realizing it.
As usual, upon entering this world, Lin Yi quickly detected signs of a large number of active reincarnators around him. Among them were some newly infected candidates who had become ghouls, but most were veteran reincarnators who had completed more than one "main quest". It could be said that if any of these veteran reincarnators acted, they could easily destroy the existing order of this low-activity world. However, the "annihilation" rule from the main god space firmly restricted their range of action. It was precisely through this method that this world was able to maintain a superficial order.
Lin Yi didn't have much of an opinion on the way the main god maintained its existence. After observing it briefly for a while, he continued to devote himself to the research.
In terms of results, it is not much different from the previous T-Virus world, Kabane world, and Titan world.
As another mutation and evolution system of the T-virus, the enhancement of ghouls generally focuses more on agility. However, while agility is enhanced, strength, physique and spirit are also greatly improved. Otherwise, the human body alone would not be able to support the high agility of the ghoul.
Soul Leap: Chapter 354 Soul Leap (6)
The Prototype Virus World.
After a long absence, Lin Yi stepped into this world that brought him into contact with the "forbidden zone," and noticed something unusual.
Unlike other power systems that were almost paralyzed, the still intact "forbidden zone" began to sense something strange after Lin Yi entered this world. Of course, it wasn't a warning or fear, as there was indeed no such thing to be wary of or fear in this low-activity world... It was a feeling similar to "hunger".
If it were just the beginning of stepping into the "forbidden zone," Lin Yi would absolutely not be able to resist this impulse from his genetic instincts. However, now that he has ventured into so many fields, a mere "instinctive impulse" seems too insignificant. He quickly suppressed this "instinctive impulse" with a frown and began to search for the object that made him feel this way.
It didn't take long, since it was in a place that Lin Yi was quite "familiar" with.
—Manhattan.
----------segmentation----------
For the American government in this parallel world, it's as if the world not only played a huge joke on them, but also made them play another "joke" on themselves.
For some unknown reason, the prototype of the virus suddenly appeared and brought great disaster and terror to the small island at sea. When the decision was made to wipe it and everything on the island due to the unknown disaster it might bring to the American mainland, it suddenly disappeared without a trace—along with the falling nuclear missile.
If things had ended there, that would have been fine, but just a few days later, the soldiers sent to search for traces discovered a new prototype of the virus.
It started as a small piece of bloodstained stone, but after an unfortunate puppy licked it, it quickly infected and eroded the puppy, turning it into a new mutated creature. What followed was a continuous process of parasitism, infection, and devouring...
When American soldiers discovered its existence, it had transformed into a twisted and bloated giant tentacle monster.
The best way to deal with such an unknown thing should have been to eliminate it immediately. However, the powerful vitality displayed by the tentacle monster attracted the attention of some people, and everything that followed was a matter of course.
People, lured by the unknown, came into contact with the taboo but were unable to control it. Instead, they catalyzed the spread of misfortune and disaster. Manhattan, where the disaster had subsided, was plunged into a second, even more terrible calamity.
However, this time there was no second "forbidden zone".
------------segmentation----------
When Lin Yi arrived over this familiar island, he saw a "war".
On one side of the "war" are human soldiers armed with machine guns and cannons, using metal storms and chemical gunpowder as weapons; on the other side are infected and mutated infected individuals who wield huge, mutated limbs and are agile and powerful.
A "war" between life and virus.
Having identified the two sides in this "war," Lin Yi had no doubts about the outcome.
