Inside the Tower of Trial

Kana gazed at the crystal ball floating in front of her, her thoughts seemingly drifting afar.

"Did you prepare for this long ago?" The Undead Dragon, standing nearby, was filled with astonishment and couldn't help but ask.

Rewinding back to the days when the front line war was still being prepared, Kana came here to discuss with her some matters regarding soul guidance.

Honestly, the Undead Dragon never thought she could possess such a miraculous ability.

Though she is now an Undead Dragon, tracing back to her origin, she was once a Life Giant Dragon full of vitality.

It was only due to a series of unspeakable changes that she was reluctantly forced to transform into an undead form, her power drastically declining as a result.

By a stroke of fate, Kana brought her here, making her the core of resurrection in the Tower of Trial.

During this time, she immersed herself, gaining some insight into the mysterious and unfathomable secrets between life and death.

She seemed to understand the brief process of life flourishing, wilting, and then miraculously returning, attempting to simplify and integrate this complex process.

In the past, she certainly would not have had such an ability; all these changes owe gratitude to this grand and unique creation of the Tower of Trial.

And Kana had already locked this ability onto her while building this structure.

However, this miraculous ability is limited to relying on the unique mechanisms of this area.

Once she leaves this special place, she will lose the creative power of life and death, reverting to a mundane state.

If she originally had such extraordinary talent, how could she have ended up in such a slightly embarrassing situation as now?

However, just like the beautiful blueprint Kana had painted for her before, her current special status has indeed become an excellent vessel for controlling this mysterious power.

In regaining the Power of Life she once possessed, she could further explore and tap into the potential contained within her current undead body.

As the horns of war sounded, the brutal reality lay before them; even the brave and fearless Night Watchers couldn't avoid casualties.

This is the inevitable sacrifice in war, a shadow of death that no one can escape.

After all, war is always cruel; as long as there is an outbreak of war, death follows like a shadow.

The external environment is vastly different from the Tower of Trial, where there is no miraculous resurrection power that brings the dead back to life.

But Kana had obviously made thorough preparations long ago, and from the beginning to the end, he did not agree with the view that such death is inevitable and unchangeable.

Thus, following Kana's teachings, the Undead Dragon began attempting to guide souls with her unique powers.

This process carries a somewhat mysterious color of necromancy and is indeed closely related to it.

Unexpectedly, this arduous attempt turned out to be successful.

Even the Undead Dragon felt utterly perplexed, unable to comprehend why it succeeded.

The souls of the Night Watchers who unfortunately died on the battlefield, as if drawn by an invisible force, drifted in one after another, gently merging into the Soul Storage Crystal that Kana had meticulously prepared in advance.

"How exactly did you do it?" The Undead Dragon was full of curiosity and couldn't help but ask Kana again.

"Actually, it's quite simple. Every Night Watcher now stepping onto the battlefield has undergone rigorous trials in the Tower of Trial.

"As Night Watchers, they have a high resonance with the Tower of Trial. At the root, their power originally comes from the same mysterious source.

"During their trials, I ingeniously established a subtle and profound connection between their souls and the Tower of Trial.

"And you, as the Dragon of Life and Death personally selected by me, were naturally endowed with such a miraculous power, so you fully capable of guiding their souls here.

"From now on, this will become an important duty of yours in the future."

Although at first glance, this duty seems like a heavy and arduous task, the Undead Dragon felt particularly thrilled inside, even somewhat heartened.

Because this is no ordinary task; it represents real power, involving the foundational rules of the world's operation.

This means that once she returns to the peak of her power, with profound insight into the powers of life and death, she will have a great chance to reach a higher realm, becoming a revered Dragon God.

Moreover, with her expectations of herself, she is bound to become a mighty and outstanding Dragon God.

After all, this is the great power of life and death, concerning the path of the soul's afterlife, its return, and the endless cycle of the world.

This is one of the most basic and important elements that constitute every world.

The grand blueprint Kana had painted for her is now truly becoming a reality step by step.

"Why are you so deeply involved in the study of souls? Even I, an Undead Dragon steeped in the domain of Necromancy, feel inferior in comparison."

The doubts within the Undead Dragon's heart surged like a tide, and she couldn't help but pose the question to Kana once again.

After all, though she was once a vibrant Dragon of Life, she was helplessly reduced to an Undead Dragon. Yet even so, in this world, the Necromancy she mastered remained at a top-notch level.

The Necromancy in her mind was inherited from the ancient Giant Dragon's bloodline. The original purpose of this inheritance was to allow her to better understand Necromancy so that she could calmly face various crises, and indeed, she studied and learned it earnestly.

However, it's undeniable that Necromancy in this world has not been fully and deeply developed.

The emergence of the Stone of Creation has propelled the world to evolve at an unimaginable speed, but the sedimentation of power is far from sufficient.

In such an environment, the research on souls in this world has always been a difficult exploration through Magic and some Alchemical means.

In this somewhat peculiar world, Kana emerged as an extraordinary and uniquely charming presence.

He did not follow the traditional method of practicing Necromancy, yet in the field of soul research, he achieved remarkable success, even surpassing her, the Undead Dragon who fell from the height of life.

"In-depth understanding? Haha, I think you might have misunderstood." A mysterious smile appeared on Kana's face as he spoke softly.

He knew in his heart that probing the essence of the soul was undoubtedly a bottomless and unknown great puzzle, one that almost no one could truly touch its core.

His goal from the beginning has been unwavering, with only one clear direction.

That is to construct a rigorous, logical Resurrection mechanism that can be recognized by this world and be built using the miraculous power of the Stone of Creation.

For some special people (Players), without such a Resurrection mechanism, it would be equivalent to losing the most powerful means of survival and combat in this world.

Moreover, when faced with the final Void invasion, without the support of the Resurrection mechanism, they would find it very difficult to withstand the onslaught of enemies that surge like tides, much less persist through the long and brutal battle.

The infective nature of the Void is extremely powerful, far exceeding the corruption and pollution of the Evil God, its terrifying degree is chilling.

By conducting an in-depth study of souls, allowing Night Watchers to resurrect after death, they can effectively avoid this world-destroying crisis.

Otherwise, as the battle continues, Void Creatures will appear continuously, increasing in number, and eventually the enemies might even include themselves and this world's original Warriors, making the situation unbearably dire.

From the very beginning, Kana moved steadily towards this great goal, his approach to soul research was unique and innovative.

He first accurately locked onto the soul, then skillfully guided its path, ensuring its safety throughout the process.

Finally, he racked his brains to find a way to remold a brand new body for the soul, allowing it to resurrect again, deftly bypassing the world's original death mechanism from the start.

So, Kana is truly dedicated not to the mysterious essence of the soul but to the cut-off mechanism at the very beginning stage of a soul's step into death and entry into reincarnation.

He wants to ensure, by all means, that just as a soul steps into the initial stage of death, it is decisively intercepted, and then, as if casting Magic, separated from the endless Abyss of the death cycle.

Thus bypassing the world's conventional Resurrection and birth mechanism to directly achieve an astonishing miracle of rebirth.

Logically, how could the world allow such an apparently unreasonable thing to happen?

Alas, such is reality, the world just so happens to allow such circumstances.

After all, when the entire world faces a great crisis of life and death, many rules and restrictions have to be temporarily put aside, who has time for so many formalities?

Moreover, although Kana skillfully exploited the world's given tolerance and permissiveness to some extent, the original intention deep in his heart never changed, that is to spare no effort to protect this world and guard everyone's home.

Of course, breaking such a cycle mechanism will ultimately cause fundamental damage to the world in the long term.

However, this is not an unsolvable problem; it simply requires reestablishing a reincarnation mechanism more suited to the era of Datafication.

At least Kana's expectation and effort from the beginning were directed towards this, and perhaps the world instinctively sensed his determination and the potential within it, so it permitted those seemingly bold actions by Kana.

Under the world's successive green lights, Kana's research in this regard naturally progressed smoothly, encountering virtually no obstacles.

Moreover, the Stone of Creation serves as the ultimate strong backing and powerful guarantee.

He just needs to meticulously streamline the entire research process, allowing the Stone of Creation to construct foundational creations that match this perfected process, enough to achieve his goal.
