GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The crystallized flame is no longer burning but he has not lost his perception of soul imprints or access to its burning power. The soul fire had only changed its medium to his entire soul. Instead of burning within him, it can be brought with his soul force to burn in the world.

"This is good. I don't know what it is good for but this is good. After all, the great mothers wanted it." He said in excitement.

"I will call you the spark of consciousness because as long as my consciousness remains, the soul flame remains."

Now his soul fire doesn't need fuel to continue to exist. His consciousness is more than enough to maintain it. His consciousness or soul imprints have become the foundation of the soul fire instead of the spiritual matter that makes up his soul.

"What else can I fuse with it?"

He considered his available options until he narrowed it down to one. "If soul force a byproduct of the immortal soul of an Origin god can create such a pleasant change to my soul flame, what about Origin essence?"

This is a question that can be solved easily since he happens to have a bead of Origin essence that he has been saving. So he decided to assimilate the origin essence within his soul into his spark of consciousness.

Others will need to comprehend laws and use origin essence to fuse with the cosmic energy that the universe bestows to make their soul imprint immortal. But he doesn't want to be immortal based on the energy of the universe. He wants to be immortal based on his spark of consciousness.

His attempt bore fruit immediately. His whole soul evolved for a second time. His soul imprints fused with the spark of consciousness.

The spark of consciousness was surrounded by his soul imprints before. They were like clouds around the crystallized flame. But then Origin essence fused with the crystallized flame which caused the soul imprints to shrink until they too fused with the crystallized flame.

The white crystallized core changed color from white to gold. His consciousness darkness and disappeared at that point. After all, his soul imprints had disappeared.

But then they appeared in his soul again. They are not the real thing anymore. They are just copies of the one in the crystallized flame.

His core soul shivered as the new soul imprints appeared as if he felt cold. But unlike cold, the sensation that caused the shivering was pleasant. This shivering also spread outwards to the cocoon of soul grafts around him.

This is because the new soul imprint spread to the cocoon too. It enveloped them and overwrote their soul imprints to match his. This caused the final barrier between his core soul and theirs to disappear. The soul grafts melted into his core soul immediately.

His soul shivered again. It is truly a pleasurable experience. The soul imprints of the soul grafts were invalidated so the spiritual matter that made up of their soul joined the spiritual matter of his own soul.

The merge caused the cocoon to merge with his core soul and for him to grow stronger significantly. His evolution finally gave him qualitative and quantitative growth.

Legion-7's bloated consciousness finally settled down.

He examined his soul in admiration, "This is great. Now, as long as my soul imprints remain, the spark of consciousness will remain. And as long as my spark of consciousness remains, my spark of consciousness will remain. The two of them become the foundation of each other."

Then he thought to himself, "The next thing to do is to make one of them immortal. If I get immortal soul imprints, won't my spark of consciousness be also immortal? If they are immortal, can I die?"

He became excited the more he thought about it. The thing is that his consciousness or soul imprint is not immortal yet. After all, he is not an Origin god yet. His soul can rival a Supreme Origin god in terms of spiritual power and he can even devour souls just like an Origin god in the spiritual dimension, but he still has room for growth.

"If I fuse my soul with Origin like an Origin god, then my Origin will also become inseparable from my spark of consciousness and it will become immortal. And more than that, I might become independent of the void universe entirely."

It is truly a grand plan. As he is, he won't resurrect if his soul and the spark of consciousness are shattered. This is because his consciousness is not immortal and his spark of consciousness needs it to exist. But if he fuses with his Origin like an Origin god, then he might never die. His soul imprint and spark of consciousness will merely return to his Origin and reconstruct his soul again.

"It is a future worth looking forward to. I just need to become one with Legion-1 again. When complete unity is achieved, Legion-1 will become completely independent from the void universe. We will be able to restore our existence on our own and resurrect without help from the void universe. I can't wait to see it."

He believes it should work because he has faith in the Origin core. The Origin core is a very powerful thing. It is full of potential because it contains all the laws of the void universe except for Supreme laws.

The potential is then excavated by a supreme law. Unless someone willingly gives up their origin by becoming a god, the only way to lose their origin is to die.

But if the origin and the soul and the soul imprints become inseparable, then it will be impossible for the person to die permanently. This is because the separation of origin from consciousness after death will not occur.

As long as the origin remains, the killed entity will only be in limbo for a while before they return. That's what Legion-7 believes and it is not without precedent. It is based on something that happens regularly in the void universe.
