Looking at the soft and cute appearance of the Time Rice Dumpling Spirit, Xinghai's father explained with a smile:
"The Sea Ancestor collected them and placed them here. Within the range of the Origin Temple, souls are eroding at a very slow pace. And what seemed incredibly real before is because they are covered with a shell condensed from Origin Water."
"In the trial that Xinghai will enter next, all the creatures encountered are similar beings, possessing their own wisdom and playing their roles according to the script given to them by the Sea Ancestor."
"I understand."
Chen Mo nodded.
In the trial Xinghai will participate in next, all the NPCs are actually the spirits of these deceased spiritual beasts, playing roles with a "shell" on the outside.
"These remnant souls only need to 'operate' for two months each year, role-playing in the trial, while the rest of the time is their own."
Xinghai's father continued.
