Chapter 1983: Erlang Shen
"Gate open!"
She released the power hidden within the formation to bring everyone into the realm.
Even though they were inside the realm, the scenery didn’t change at all. It was as if this place was simply being duplicated and sealed, unlike Catalith’s realm, which was changed according to her needs.
However, there was one difference that Nathan and the others could feel.
"The amount of energy in this place... is so high." Sera covered her mouth in surprise.
"This is a burial site that is sealed by formation. Of course, it’s high. The energy from the suns has been converted into ena to maintain this state." Anubis nodded.
"Why is that?" Nathan asked, wondering if there was any meaning behind that action in the god of death’s eyes.
Anubis nodded. "There is indeed something. First of all, this will allow you to preserve their bodies. I’m not talking about the physical bodies, but the true vessels or divine bodies.
"Since you have a divine body yourself, you should know that they are different. They won’t be easy to decompose."
Nathan frowned. "Do you mean their bodies are still here? I’ve been wondering about the bodies of gods that are buried on Earth right now."
"We can talk about that later. It’s better to show it to you than explain it. Follow me." Anubis flew to the left for a few minutes.
They finally found one body floating around. Anubis stopped it and asked, "What do you think about this body?"
Nathan muttered, "Isn’t this... Erlang Shen?"
"I don’t know about that. What I’m talking about is that this god possesses a true vessel, and his body is still preserved. Why? Because this seal has prevented the ena from leaving the area, causing his ena and authority to continue lingering around, preventing them from disappearing.
"If you bury a god normally, their body will decompose like a human because the divinity and the ena preserving their bodies are gone, back to the world. However, because this is a special realm, their power is trapped. Even if it leaves the body, it still lingers in the area.
"That’s why this body remains like this. This is the real reason for the seal."
Nathan frowned. "Do you mean there’s a chance to revive them?"
If he could actually revive Erlang Shen or other true gods, the situation would become different. He would feel more confident facing the black cell.
Anubis shook his head. "I’m not talking about that. While their bodies have been preserved, their souls have left the bodies. Do you remember the Memory of the Dead that Hela gave you?"
"Yes."
"It uses the trace of energy in the area to track the past. However, that’s actually a remnant of the soul. What I mean by remnant is a small part of the soul that still lingers in the area. They’re preserved by karma.
"Even if we revive this so-called Erlang Shen, he will become extremely weak because his soul has been damaged."
Nathan shook his head. "I see. It’s true that reviving is not an option if we want him to be our ally, but what if we use this chance to know about the past?"
"The Memory of the Dead should be enough actually." Anubis rejected the idea.
Nathan crossed his arms, contemplating.
"Rather than thinking about reviving them, it’s better to get their remnants. Their bodies should be processed as a sign of respect..." Anubis looked at Nathan.
"Of course. I don’t plan to turn it into a puppet or something. However, I just want to figure out something. Is it going to be a clue to creating a body for you guys?"
"Do you mean for true rebirth?"
"Yes." Nathan confirmed with a serious expression.
Anubis thought for a moment and said, "If you are trying to research their composition or other things, then you can probably do that. However, please be fast and respectful."
"If you’re talking about that, I believe there’s no need for that. If you don’t mind, Iris and I will just touch this body and feel its’ power. After that, it will be all yours." Luna stepped forward.
Iris explained, "While we’re researching how to make the body, we have come to a conclusion that true rebirth is simpler than you may think.
"First of all, the body. The body is created through transmutation, and I will provide the material for that body.
"For example, if you have a wind element, we just need an element that matches your power. To do that, the easiest way is to make a contract with the universe and put the element into an item that conducts energy well."
"So, it’s my Soul Contract." Nathan extended his hand. "Continue."
"It’s indeed the Soul Contract. This item will be the core of the new body. Then, we will use transmutation to turn that crystal into flesh. Basically, it won’t be 100% the same. Your body will be different. It’s impossible to create the exact same thing, so you still need to adjust.
"However, that will work out once we put your soul into it. In other words, the data stored by the universe. Basically, what you currently are right now, or more accurately, your summoning fragments.
"We will transmute your summoning crystal and the body together to assimilate the two together. This way, the difference between your old body and new body will be adjusted to a new set of information, which makes the transfer possible.
"All that is left is for your soul to merge completely and turn that body into a divine body or a true vessel.
"So that’s basically the last problem. How should we make a divine body or a true vessel?" Iris smiled.
Anubis figured out what she wanted. "I see. You want to examine the remnants here and gain a certain conclusion."
"Exactly. Examining it won’t take too long since we already know about the foundation. We are just trying to make it closer and closer to your current body. That is for true rebirth.
"If we don’t make a divine body or a true vessel, then..." Iris sighed.
