Chapter 640: Jerry's Creation Plan (Second Update)
Chapter 640: Jerry's Creation Plan (Second Update)
Three weeks later, in the Ring World.
"Finally, it's done!"
Jerry looked at the Soul Gem in his hand, which had completely lost its self-awareness, and nodded in satisfaction.
Using the power of the four gems and the Ring World, he spent a week dismantling all the Soul Gem's resistance and another two weeks to completely purify its consciousness.
Now, the Soul Gem, like the other five gems, could be controlled at will, and there was no longer a risk of it escaping unexpectedly.
Leaving the Ring World, Jerry returned to Vormir.
"Thank you!"
With the Soul Gem's consciousness purified by Jerry, the soul of Red Skull, who had been imprisoned by the Soul Gem, was finally freed. When he saw Jerry appear, he sincerely expressed his gratitude and was then sucked into a rift and disappeared.
"Did he enter the Realm of Death?"
Watching Red Skull's soul being sucked into the rift, a thought flashed through Jerry's mind.
He knew that in the Marvel Main World, unlike the world of Magic Cards, there was no concept of reincarnation. When someone died, they were truly dead. If they had no particular faith, their soul would be drawn into the Realm of Death, not the Hel of the Nine Realms or Mephisto's Hell.
Instead, it would be the ultimate destination for all souls in the entire universe.
Of course, if you had a particular faith, things would be different.
For example, if you were a devoted follower of Mephisto, you would likely be pulled into his Hell after death. If you followed Dormammu, you would be pulled into the Dark Dimension. Dormammu was even more ruthless; if you followed him, you could be pulled into the Dark Dimension while still alive.
Mystic Deities with their own dimensional worlds could use faith to guide people into their dimensions.
Previously, in Asgard, Odin mentioned the Valhalla, which served a similar purpose.
In reality, Asgard itself was not a complete dimensional world, but with the later completion of the Valhalla, it became nearly complete.
With the existence of the Valhalla, Asgardians who believed in Asgard could be guided to the Valhalla after death.
This is why Odin's strength surpassed that of his father and grandfather, reaching the peak of the Celestial level and even approaching the Single Universe level, unifying the Nine Realms.
In the future, if Jerry's Ring World were to be perfected, there would also be a place similar to the Valhalla, used to guide the souls of the Ring World's residents after death.
This would include Has, Aisha, Belle, Charlie, and Belle's family members. After their deaths, if they were willing, Jerry could guide their souls to his dimensional world.
They could even become future managers or guides in his dimensional world.
The various soul-related laws within the Soul Gem greatly aided Jerry in perfecting the Ring World and constructing a place similar to the Valhalla.
Similarly, these laws greatly assisted him in creating true life.
Truly powerful Dimensional Deities could create life themselves, like the ancient god Gaea or the Dark Magic god Xyson.
Ada, the intelligent robot, studied Xyson's Dark Divine Book and gained similar knowledge, eventually transforming herself from an intelligent robot into a true human after continuous research.
Jerry's previous creations were false lives, not true creations from nothing.
Previously, when Jerry created life, he used the Vivification Spell to create entities like Mini Cannon, Magic Robots, and Stone Guardians. These were not true life forms.
They could be seen as Magic versions of intelligent robots. Jerry did not grant them true souls; instead, he endowed them with intelligent programs derived from his knowledge system.
Magic creatures like the Four Holy Beasts are similar, but they possess the attribute of growth. They can evolve gradually over time, their souls becoming more complete as they do so. Eventually, they might evolve to have fully formed souls.
Koko and Yue's souls are already nearly indistinguishable from those of real humans. The Four Holy Beasts Jerry created are somewhat less advanced and still require time to grow.
Therefore, even now, Culorito has not yet reached the point where he can directly create human life.
Even Lily Foster, who can be considered a fully human, is not a life form Jerry created. He used Lily's hair to clone a life form based on her genes.
The essential soul was not granted by Jerry but evolved from the soul essence of Lily Evans.
Fundamentally, the souls of Evans and Foster are not different; their different life experiences have merely shaped their personalities and thoughts.
It's like raising a child in different environments—two people growing up in different places will surely be different, but their souls remain the same.
With his current Magic abilities and the technology at his disposal, Jerry can easily create a physical body or even resurrect a person.
However, there is always a prerequisite for his resurrection: the person's soul must still exist.
If the soul is gone, he cannot create a new one out of thin air. He would need the person's genetic material, such as hair, bones, or blood.
With that, he could clone the person and bring them back to life, similar to how he did with Lily Foster.
But this kind of resurrection, like Foster, has the same soul yet is different.
The true soul of the person who died has already moved on to the Realm of Death.
What Jerry needs to do now is study the Soul Gem to understand deeper soul laws and see if he can create a new soul from nothing.
If he can, then he will truly be able to create life, from the physical body to the soul.
"Still not dead, huh? You're pretty resilient. Then continue living here!"
After the Red Skull dispersed, Jerry discovered that three weeks had passed. The mother and son he brought from Earth were still alive.
However, compared to their previous opulence and arrogance, they were now in a much more miserable state.
Vormir has a similar environment to Earth, but it has been ravaged by war.
The mother and son have managed to survive by hunting Magic Lizards and scavenging tools and water from ruins.
"God, save us, save us!"
Seeing Jerry floating in the sky, the mother and son thought a savior had arrived. They quickly dropped the bloody Magic Lizard and ran toward Jerry, shouting loudly.
The son, who was running faster, ignored his weak mother's plea to wait. He kicked her away.
Jerry merely glanced at them and opened a portal to leave.
Both the mother and son were despicable people. Many innocent people had died directly or indirectly because of their wealth and power.
Not killing them outright was already a show of Jerry's mercy. He would let them struggle to survive on this desolate planet.
