Once an object generates a soul, it becos an independent entity and may not necessarily be 100% loyal to the soul-giver.
Secondly, the soul-giver can retrieve the soul by touching the object again.
Thirdly, the consud spiritual power and sanity value will not be refunded after retrieving the soul.
These points seem quite reasonable. Otherwise, the glove holder could easily touch naval ships during open days, seize control of warships, and launch nuclear missiles single-handedly to start a world war. That would be too outrageous."
"Hmm..."
Gray Rain tilted her head in thought and asked, "If a warship is given a soul, would the resulting spiritual body take human form or would it directly inhabit the ship’s electrical control systems?"
"We don’t know yet. It’s more likely to be the latter; after all, the cucumber’s spiritual body was a blob after soul implantation."
Li Cheng walked to the warehouse shelf, using the floating engine to ascend, and grabbed a reproduction of a famous painting by the French artist Jacques Louis David—"Napoleon Crossing the Alps" from the shelf.
He imbued the painting with a soul once again.
This ti it was different. The Napoleon in the painting ca to life, galloping across the Alps, but soon collided with an air wall, or rather the picture fra, looking bewildered.
Additionally, perhaps due to the painting being a world-renowned artwork, Li Cheng found that he could continue to focus his attention inside it.
As the cara recorded, the spiritual index kept rising,
Napoleon’s initially dull and wooden face beca lively and excited, and he opened his mouth to say sothing beyond the painting.
Li Cheng used his assembly puppet ability to connect the painting paper to the speaker, and Napoleon’s voice in French imdiately ca from the speaker, "Who are you? Where am I? Where’s my French legion?"
Huh? It seems high-level spiritual bodies not only have the ability to perceive the external world but also possess more complex thought and mory.
"We are four-dinsional beings from a higher dinsion. You are now in 2025, as for your French legion..."
Li Cheng found a tablet computer and played the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. After watching a few monts, Napoleon fainted.
Then, Li Cheng replicated the process by bestowing souls to other world-famous paintings, discovering new implicit rules.
Firstly, the imbued object is rely a combination of the carrier itself, public perception, and the glove holder’s personal viewpoint.
For example, in this piece "Napoleon Crossing the Alps," historically, Napoleon rode a mule rather than a tall horse, as the mule has better cold resistance and stamina.
Moreover, the model for the painting wasn’t Napoleon himself but the artist’s son.
In such a case, the revived painting still identifies as Napoleon and does not know about the Battle of Waterloo.
Yet, during his final days on Saint Helena Island, Napoleon clearly rembered Waterloo.
The commonality between them is that their historical knowledge of Napoleon does not exceed what is recorded on the internet and lacks private mories of Napoleon—such as the number of extramarital affairs he and Josephine had.
This indirectly proves that the soul-infused objects are not replicas of the originals but independent derivative works.
Therefore, summoning a hundred Newtons or Einsteins to research nuclear fusion reactors can be forgotten.
However, having them write college assignnts or publish papers for essay fees should be achievable.
Secondly, the higher the strength of the soul bestowed, the more pronounced the object’s intelligence and self-awareness beco.
In one Nietzsche painting, upon realizing it was rely an artwork, it promptly slamd its head into the fra, dissipating its spiritual energy completely.
Furthermore, soul-infused objects can perfectly connect with the [assembly puppet].
If equipped with an eye tracker, computer host, and screen, a painting could even independently connect to the internet.
Finally, a soul can be repeatedly bestowed upon and retrieved from the sa object.
A newly birthed soul will lose all prior mories.
Li Cheng retrieved all paintings and sought out nurous figurines, models, and toys to experint on one by one.
Regarding the 85-centiter tall gatron model, when 100 points of soul energy were infused, the model could walk, run, and jump.
With 200 points, it partially simulated gatron’s original personality and thought process and could engage in normal communication, switching between handgun, tank, and jet plane forms.
Infusing 400 points of soul energy enabled the plastic weapon on the model to beco "alive," firing plastic projectiles with enough force to pierce a waterlon.
When Li Cheng used the assembly puppet to equip gatron with real ammunition, it swiftly adapted to the new weapon, using a shoulder-mounted single-soldier rocket launcher to blow holes in tal shooting targets.
After the explosion, it emitted its signature eerie laugh, "Haha! I am now invincible! Optimus Pri can no longer stop ! I will conquer the world!"
"From plastic to steel, from glue to welding. Three als a day in Lao prison."
Gray Rain muttered and suddenly thought of sothing, running towards the shelf with a mysterious look to retrieve a large pile of items. "Lao Cheng, try imbuing these things with a soul—this is gentle ○ lady, this is to ○ heart, this is a spring ○ hall life-size figurine..."
"What the heck are you thinking about all day? Wait, why are these things even in my warehouse?"
Li Cheng rolled his eyes and flicked Gray Rain on the forehead.
"It’s all about testing the boundaries of the soul-infusing glove. I figured we need to learn from the side of truth and cultivate a spirit of scientific research."
Gray Rain retorted confidently, "I’ve watched hundreds of episodes of agricultural channel prosperity tips and follow several dozen finance bloggers on social dia. This project can definitely earn money.
Many nerdy male and female players have never dated anyone nor even visited the Evil Science Alliance nightclub.
They lack the courage to date but certainly have the guts to spend a few thousand ga coins to bring a cherished figurine to life, transitioning instantly to an old married couple lifestyle—and that courage is substantial.
By stacking the [assembly puppet] ability, you could even implant bones, joints, a complete set of respiratory, digestive, and reproductive organs to make figurines extrely human-like, possibly even more realistic than Zhang Sanfeng."
"Are you creating the bio-humans like in Blade Runner?"
Li Cheng twitched at the corner of his eye, "Each soul implantation consus spiritual power and sanity, you know."
Low consumption doesn’t an no consumption. This Secret Realm exploration isn’t a script task. To prepare for the next killing field challenge, Li Cheng needs to save so spiritual power for himself,
It’s impossible to recklessly exhaust his spiritual power just for a bit of money.
"Once equipnt reaches legendary level, it deeply touches upon so-called [rules], [concepts]. The application of rciful soul goes beyond simply creating activated spirit body armies; it holds one more crucial point, that is, in so sense, immortality."
Li Cheng’s expression twisted intriguingly as he actively dissolved the skin of his palm. The cells on his palm started to rapidly divide, slowly "squeezing" out fleshy granules on a macroscopic level.
The fleshy granules tangled and squird, forming an irregular sphere with hair, teeth, and eyeballs.
"Wow, how disgusting!"
Gray Rain clicked her tongue, "What is that?"
"Body."
Li Cheng casually brought over a bathtub, filled it with water, and tossed the atball into the water.
The atball swelled upon contact with water, its cells dividing rapidly, gradually growing slender limbs.
"This atball is composed of undifferentiated stem cells and carries a soul that has yet to awaken to consciousness. Once the atball detects its owner’s death, it will enter accelerated growth mode, quickly taking on a human shape and evolving into a person.
Since the soul-infused object is a combination of the carrier itself, public perception, and the glove holder’s personal viewpoint, as long as the atball is regarded as one’s replica, it will eventually grow to beco the new self."
Li Cheng calmly stated, "In other words, possessing this item allows for the continuous creation of personal backups, ensuring survival even if one perishes in the script world through another ans."
