Empyrean Oceanheart, now going by Oshenra, reveals her romantic interest in Vaan despite being Seraphina's great-grandmother. She gained enlightenment and comprehended the Nihility Law after Vaan's gift and agrees to handle the aftermath of the battle. Vaan, meanwhile, retreats to his Astral Soul Realm to cultivate, contemplating Oshenra's beauty and the danger her immense primordial yin energy poses to him.

Vaan wondered whether the original soul was stationary or moving while he was moving in reality.

Moreover, what would happen if it encountered other foreign entities or astral walkers?

Unfortunately, he was bound to receive no answer to this question. There was still much about the Astral Soul Realm that he didn’t know.

He would only find the answers in due time.

On another topic, he wondered if his god-like ability in the Astral Soul Realm was also due to the influence of the original soul. After all, since his astral body was within the original soul’s territory, wasn’t that like having an active domain?

As such, he received various buffs, reducing Soul Power consumption below the standard?

The more Vaan thought about it, the more he felt that this was likely the case. The Astral Soul Realm was indeed miraculous, but it shouldn’t be to such an exaggerated degree.

He had been benefiting from the original soul unknowingly.

’My focus has strayed. Need to refocus,’ Vaan thought.

First step in constructing the Divine Soul Kingdom: Establish the connection between the original soul and reality.

Vaan immediately referred to the schematics designed by his genius self.

A number of Soul Runes quickly came to mind before he channeled his Soul Power, drawing the specific Soul Runes one by one.

It seemed like he was writing Soul Runes in the air, but in fact, he was inscribing them onto the original soul. The vast area around him was all inside the original soul’s domain.

It was truly immense, and this was only a single part.

With each Soul Rune successfully drawn, a new law was introduced to the Astral Soul Realm. Each Soul Rune embodied a law, and when the set of Soul Runes came together, a complex system was formed.

To establish the connection between the original soul and reality, a set of ten Soul Runes was needed, which didn’t require much effort while he was inside the Astral Soul Realm.

After all, he had endless soul essence to absorb and a buffed replenishment rate.

Origin-binding Rune...

Astral Gate Rune...

Piercing Edge Rune...

Soul Resonance Rune...

Vessel Anchor Rune...

Duality Transmission Rune...

One by one, the ten Soul Runes were drawn, all interconnected in the shape of a dodecahedron, forming a closed yet complete system, establishing the connection between the original soul and reality.

Ding!

Vaan’s eyes lit up with joy, realizing that once he had access to the system, all his work in the Astral Soul Realm would become simpler to achieve. In fact, the system could do the rest of the work.

Ding!

...

Before the system could finish assessing the task’s size, Vaan began transferring his Soul Power to it.

Ding!

...

Thanks to his buffed recovery in the Astral Soul Realm, Vaan quickly replenished all the Soul Power he transferred to the system in a short time.

However, there was a limit to how much Soul Power the weak system could hold at once.

Thus, its Soul Power capacity was quickly capped under Vaan’s wanton dumping of Soul Power. Still, it didn’t take long before the 1000 units of Soul Power were drained to carry out the task.

Ding!

...

Vaan continued to transfer all his replenished Soul Power, allowing the system to make successive progress in its designated task.

At the same time, the world around him was rapidly transformed by this progress.

Although it was called the Divine Soul Kingdom, there was no special castle or any building, for that matter. Only the space itself seemed to have changed, becoming something that didn’t quite belong to the Astral Soul Realm, yet wouldn’t exist in reality either.

It was as if another domain had appeared within the domain of the original soul.

Countless Soul Runes were drawn to form this special domain, and they formed revolving rings, which later enlarged, expanding the domain’s spherical special space.

This was the initial form of Vaan’s Divine Soul Kingdom.

Within its special space, traits of both the Astral Soul Realm and reality could be noticed, as if the two worlds had fused to create it. However, this specially fused domain could also exist independently of the Astral Soul Realm and reality.

Vaan couldn’t help but marvel at the rapidly forming Divine Soul Kingdom.

This was only the start.

The moment the system connected to the Astral Soul Realm, Vaan immediately knew that he was going to enter a long period of rapid progress.

Originally, the modified system’s potential was constrained by the limitations and inconvenience of Soul Power.

However, such problems ceased to exist the moment it connected to the Astral Soul Realm.

Without needing to travel back and forth between the Astral Soul Realm and reality, Vaan could continuously supply the system with an endless amount of Soul Power.

As such, all of its major tasks, present or future, and even its evolution, could be achieved quickly.

It was just a matter of time.

In fact, Vaan was looking forward to the system’s level-up features.

In his original plan, even if he accumulated enough Soul Power to level up the system, he would still need to advance to Divine King or Divine Emperor in the Soul Path in order to support some of its new functions.

However, this problem was also eliminated once the system connected to the Astral Soul Realm.

It could be said that once the system connected to the Astral Soul Realm, it had become a true cheat, granting him immense, seemingly unfair advantages that could make anyone turn green with envy.

However, Vaan could only postpone exploiting these advantages.

At the very least, until he had completed the Divine Soul Kingdom and Grand Reversal Spell, he would not have the peace of mind to start any other big task.
