Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Alchemists divided humans into three parts: body, soul and spirit. When the body dies, the soul will appear. The spirit and soul are generally immortal unless the soul is attacked with special magic or weapons.

Xiao Ming, who wanders around Wangshu Inn in Liyue, is a ghost.

However, the souls of ordinary people are not strong, and they will soon lose their memories and merge into the earth veins.

Only a small number of powerful souls will remain. They may force themselves to exist in the world of the living because of emotions such as hatred and reluctance, and are controlled by their emotions to wander or seek revenge.

Therefore, these souls have always been the targets of hunting by exorcists and magicians, and the alchemists and ritualists of Liyue often organize ceremonies to liberate the resentful souls.

The strength of the soul depends on the spirit. The stronger the spirituality, the stronger the soul. Correspondingly, the stronger the talent of these souls in magic and alchemy during their lifetime.

But there are always many exceptions in this world, such as those who have come back to life from the [Resurrection Ceremony].

"Ansinio's theory has been proven to be feasible, and the Magic Legion plan is also progressing in an orderly manner, but there are always some unexpected things in the story, otherwise there is no need to tell it, right?"

Famas spread his hands, and the Traveler, Paimon and the others realized that the story was about to reach a turning point, so they perked up and listened carefully.

"Ansinio and the [School of Truth] he led found the substance that affects the soul and named it the "Divine Factor". Under the premise of ensuring safety, human experiments were gradually carried out, and accidents soon occurred. "

"All mortals who were resurrected from the Resurrection Ceremony were not affected by the divine factor."

"Ansinio began a more complex and large-scale controlled experiment with full of doubts, and then he was horrified to find that all the creatures resurrected from the [Resurrection Ceremony] did not have souls in the universal sense."

"It's like a monster ate their souls and disguised itself as what they looked like in life."

Famas deliberately grinned and gave Paimon a slightly twisted smile.

"Ah! Traveler, help!!"

These few words frightened Xiao Pi so much that his face turned pale. He screamed and hid behind the traveler, holding tightly onto the ribbon on the back of the girl's skirt.

"Hahaha... The School of Truth is a famous school of the Munatar. Its members are madly pursuing the truth and knowledge of the world, rather than gods and secular authorities."

After successfully scaring little Paimon, Famas contentedly continued to tell the story of the past that had long been forgotten.

"The School of Truth has a large number of members, but most of them rely on one-on-one master-disciple inheritance, and then have regular gatherings. Of course, there are also many extreme lunatics. After all, sometimes, knowing too much makes you more likely to go crazy."

"Ansinio was the wisest among them. After he discovered that the living who had undergone the resurrection ritual had no soul, he announced this news to the outside world without hesitation."

"Conspiracy, suspicion, and public opinion gradually fermented, and scholars from all sides began to debate passionately. Akhtar noticed the turmoil in the academic community and used political means to stabilize the situation. He also informed me while I was negotiating with Vasakla Hubakken in the Dragon Clan's ancestral temple."

"The rest is a clichéd plot."

"After completing the negotiations, I returned to the kingdom and went to the rain forest with Rhinedot to confront Buyer. She straightforwardly admitted that what was taken out of the earth veins was not the soul, but the memory of the deceased."

"The resurrection ceremony has become a scam that starts off well but ends badly. The raw materials extracted from gold have been used to create a new body for the deceased. Those detailed memories of the deceased have served as the soul, and my authority has only accelerated the process of merging the memory and the body..."

"In essence, we didn't resurrect anyone. We just created substitutes that are almost exactly like the deceased." No matter who it is, they would feel bad after being deceived by a trusted partner, but Famas still had a slight smile on his face and looked nonchalant.

"When I was shocked by what Buyer said, Reindorte also admitted that when Buyer took out his memories, she found that those faint glowing things were not souls."

"The name of gold comes from [Creation]. Creating real life is the ultimate goal of Rhinedot. Now that she can draw on the power of the two demon gods to get closer to her goal, she chooses not to speak."

Famas rubbed his head as if he had a headache and sighed deeply.

"I was more shocked than angry at the time. The source of my anger was not because I was deceived, but because they had done something so special to me without telling me."

"After this incident, Rhinedot continued to work in Munata, but she also established a new laboratory in Kanreya; Buyer closed the door to visitors and immersed himself in the world tree to study the knowledge left by ancient civilizations."

"At the same time, the debate between Munata's other worldly school, the Dawn Society, and the Truth School led by Ansinio became increasingly radical. The scholars' different opinions gradually turned into a military philosophy debate, and eventually evolved into a war that almost split Munata into north and south."

"Akhtar implemented the political philosophy I taught him: if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem."

"The reckoning against Ansinio gradually spread to the School of Truth. Akhtar successfully killed the School of Truth, which had tens of thousands of scholars, leaving only two or three big cats and small cats. The half-dead fire dragon in the west also took the opportunity to make a move, wanting to restore the glory of the ancient dragon clan..."

"There's no need to tell you about what happened afterwards. Don't worry. Although it was troublesome, I've taken care of it."

Famas showed a disgusted expression. It was obvious that the final handling of the incident had tortured him greatly. He finally pursed his lips with a dry mouth.

The Traveler and Paimon both opened their eyes wide, amazed at the nature of the resurrection and the many pieces of information revealed by FAMAS, while Zhongli compared what FAMAS said with his own experiences, and finally had to admit that what the boy said might be the truth.

"Then Miss Heulia..."

Although he already understood the ins and outs of the Salt God's resurrection, Paimon still couldn't help but ask Famas for confirmation.

"Yes, Heulia was reborn through the resurrection ritual."

FAMAS placed great emphasis on the word "rebirth", as if intending to distinguish the resurrection of Salt Mother from the resurrection of Liyue's Thousand Rock Army and the people.

"During your adventures, you probably find some holy relics from time to time, right? The will and memories of the former owner will reside in the object, forming a treasure with powerful power... The salt ruler and salt cup are the holy relics that belong to Heulia."

"When Huang Jin borrowed the Heart of God to study, for some unknown reason, he secretly left a small piece of the original material in the chess piece."

"Before leaving the Salt of the Earth, I threw the salt ruler, salt cup, and the remaining raw materials into the cave. The memories contained in the two holy relics are not complete. Even without my authority, it will take at most a few more years for the two to gradually merge."

"I didn't expect that Heulia was successfully reborn in just three days. There must be some external force involved in the resurrection process."

Famas nodded to the Traveler and Paimon. Considering the unusual demonic aura on Heulia, Zhongli could probably guess what had happened.

"The abyss...or some kind of demon has intervened in this process."
