Lord of the Truth

Chapter 462 Soul Domain

”Hoooh~” Robinʼs mouth gave an ʼOʼ shape as if he was giving a long exhale but no air came out, he then laughed out loud, but no sound came out.

His body itself seemed that it was made out of the smoke, and although that strange smoke body was full of holes, the features of Robinʼs face could be seen if one looked closely at it.

Robinʼs loud laugh turned into a big smile that appeared on his face as he looked at that huge thundercloud for a few more seconds, then his smile disappeared his smoke body closed its eyes for a few seconds... 

*Ploom*

Right afterward, the huge thundercloud started sending tentacles to hold onto Robinʼs image.

6 tentacles emerged from the thundercloud and touched 6 gaps in Robinʼs smoke body, then they began pumping something into those gaps

And although the pace was slow to be seen by the naked eye, those gaps were undoubtedly shrinking.

Roughly three months ago---

In the period that Robin spent in the prisonersʼ tent and with the increase of his knowledge of the affairs of the soul, finally, him penetrating several layers of protection in the souls of the artificial buds until he reached their primal soul over and over again, he learned that the soul is not just an invisible extension of the body or that it inhabits the whole body as he believed

Rather, the Primal Soul, the origin of life, has its own residence, and this residence of the Primal Soul is its own unique world.

And that specific place is inside the brain, and Robin called it Soul Domain.

He knew now that the zone that the Tree Father had pulled him into and locked him inside was undoubtedly its own soul domain, and that when the Tree Father pushed him out to prevent the explosion from happening in the Tree Fahterʼs soul domain, he pushed Robin for the first time ever into his own soul domain.

On that day and at that hour, it was the first time Robinʼs consciousness entered his own soul domain, and feel that he could move his own soul and move with it separately from his body.

Everything happened in an instant... but it was undoubtedly an unforgettable experience for Robin.

ʼSoul Power is not just an energy system parallel to the internal energy system...? Isnʼt it just a way to sense around, or make invisible attacks? Is there even a real soul that can be controlled separately as a parallel body, and has its own parallel domain?ʼ Dozens of questions exploded in Robinʼs head after he discovered what he called the Soul Domain

So the first thing he tried to search in the prisonersʼ tent was the soul domain and how to enter it again… He wanted to get that feeling back!

Even leaving aside from the unique feeling that you have a body of another kind that he can use separately, and a small world within his own body that he can enter… If Robin can see his soul and examine his injury, it would be much better than just feeling it, and it will give him a better chance to understand those injuries and speed up the process of creating a technique to heal them!

With that goal in mind, Robin set to work...

First, he searched the Budsʼ souls in front of him to see if any of them had seen anything in his life about that matter, but after several failed attempts he decided to use the soul search in a more violent way to destroy the Budsʼ souls to see what would happen...

After destroying several souls, Robin noticed the point from which the destruction spark begins every time, so he decided to go to that point directly with the next few buds and touch that point and make a hole in it to see what will happen

At that moment he was finally able to find the first glimpse of Amai Souiʼs primal spirit.

But Robin was not satisfied with this... by searching the souls of hundreds of buds non-stop, Robin understood a lot about that point in the brain and about the reality of the primal soul lying inside it.

The primal soul is the basis of all living beings around which everything else is built. 

As long as that living being is still weak, it will not feel that it has a *soul*, It just knows in its instinct that there is something moving it and that thing disappears when it dies.

Some intelligent creatures even argue that there is no such thing as a soul, that they are alive by chance or because blood is feeding their heads so they can think, or other things like that~ Saying that the soul is just some old superstition!

Only after the living being becomes stronger does the primal soul expand to include *soul energy* that the being can communicate with and use to sense or attack, but the primal soul itself will remain hidden within its shell *soul domain* motionless no matter what...

And if that shell was destroyed, the primordial soul would have no choice but to vanish as well. 

This was what happened every time Robin destroyed a budʼs soul domain or even tried to punch a hole in it.

All his research was centered around that point to the point that he learned the language of the people of the planet Greenland and all the information he knew came to him as side effects of his soul search, they were never his target!

Only after confirming the location of the primal soul residing in which part of the brain, did he decide to try communicating with his own…

Trying to enter that small world was never easy for Robin, as it is a place where nothing is supposed to be inside except for the Primal Soul.

It took Robin 13 days of continuous searching, He finally managed to find a way to enter that point without destroying it completely, And it is by completely isolating his consciousness from his body and pushing it toward that specific point, in an attempt to surrender his consciousness completely to his primordial soul... and he succeeded!

Even if that wasnʼt done normally, Robin wouldnʼt have been able to push his consciousness there in the first place had he not found a severely damaged spot in his Soul Domain due to his explosion with the Tree Fathers, and from there he did everything he could to pass his consciousness through that damaged spot.

...With Robinʼs consciousness completely sequestered within his Primal Soul, the reality around him changes as he found himself in a rather vast space with nothing physical, just vast expanses of pure white light.

*Thatʼs it, Iʼm in!!* Robin shouted to himself, though he didnʼt move a step, and though it was just a discovery inside his own body, he felt like he had found a completely different world...

After his first surprise and delight, the first thing Robin tried to examine was his own figure, which he found to be just a smoke, inconspicuous embodiment of himself but it was full of holes

He nodded contentedly when he saw it...

The Primal Soul of Amai Soi resembles a small smoke worm, and the Primal Soul of Tree Father Hoffenheim is a large ball with a huge mouth...

Although he does not yet know what these variables mean, taking on an embodiment that resembles his real body, is definitely not too bad!

But at that moment, sudden enlightenment came to him… It finally dawned on him that when Tree Father Hoffenheim forced him into his own soul domain somehow, he was completely cut off his consciousness from his body at that moment, and THAT was the main reason why he had passed out for about two weeks!

Not because of the severity of his injury… but because his consciousness struggled to break out of his soul realm and regain control of his body once again!

In the end, it was done naturally, and Robinʼs consciousness evaded his prison and returned to its normal position to control the entire body without Robin even realizing what was happening.

This point itself brought many thoughts to Robin to try and develop his own soul techniques, but all those thoughts came to a halt when he saw something strange within his Soul Domain…

It was that huge thundercloud... Although Robin did not remain conscious for more than two seconds within his Soul Domain during the Tree Father attack, he definitely did not see that thunder cloud in his Soul Domain, It was too huge to be missed! 

Nor did he see anything similar to it when he was in Father Tree Hoffenheimʼs, or Amai Soiʼs soul domains either.

At first, Robin was afraid of even getting close to it, but in the end, he convinced himself that if that thing was harmful, then being inside his Soul Domain without knowing what it was would be the biggest mistake possible, so he started getting closer...

It didnʼt take long for him to comprehend what he was seeing... 

It was energy.

It was pure soul energy.

Itʼs the soul energy generated by destroying 90% of Tree Father Hoffenheimʼs soul energy along with 60% of Robinʼs soul energy.
