After dealing with Alma, Jacob focused on recovering from his exhaustion. He can recover almost ten tis faster inside the Infinite Space than outside it.
Furthermore, Jacob had no idea what had happened in the Soulless Palace. Still, he wasn't in a hurry to interrogate Alma. He knew he couldn't leave the Infinite Space right away and might find himself in the middle of sothing dangerous.
After all, Alma was pretty hysteric about this 'seal' destruction, and from Jacob's own conjecture, he felt that all this fiasco was related to the Divine Soulless Pagoda.
In three days, Jacob recovered to his peak state and finally felt much better. Without hesitation, he called, "Specin-1, join !"
Jacob is currently in the center of the Infinite Space, where he has arranged all the equipnt he has. Most of them were from the Myriad Galaxy Palace, while so of them were from where he had gathered in his years of travels. This was Jacob's 'open lab.'
Since this world was an enclosed space, and no one could harm or infiltrate it without Jacob's permission, he didn't bother to build a structure. In fact, he had already taken the entire Infinite Space as his future lab, which would continue to expand with him.
Moreover, he was already planning on gathering specins and even so slave assistants to do minor rudintary tasks. Once soone saw this place, Jacob had no intention of letting them leave unless they were like Autarch, Nyx, or Elia.
Other than his 'open lab,' which only covered around ten kiloters of infinite space, the rest were empty, and Jacob also had other plans regarding it. As for Alma, she seed to be wandering aimlessly after Jacob dismissed her three days ago in the infinite space like a wandering ghost.
But once Jacob called, she instantly teleported in front of him. Her empty eyes fluctuated ever so slightly when she saw Jacob surrounded by the unique alchemy equipnt, the pride and joy of the Alchemy Guild. Yet he sohow had them.
Nonetheless, it really didn't matter to her anymore. She had lost her freedom, hope, and even her family. But for so strange reason, her hatred for Jacob was deteriorating, and a hint of respect was forming in her mind, and she didn't even notice it.
Jacob was sitting in front of a huge tallic table outlined with peculiar runic lines as if divided into sections. This table was not a regular table. It was a unique 'Date Analyzing Station' that could analyze samples of blood, plantations, ores, and even living things.
Furthermore, this was only one of its main features. It can also store almost limitless data, run tests, and even crack cryptic data. This was the most important thing in the entire lab of the Myriad Galaxy King, and almost all the records of his life's research were stored there after he beca an Alchemy King.
This station was only granted to an Alchemy King by the Alchemy Guild, and it needed to return to the Guild once the Alchemist died. There was a special function installed in it that could send a signal back to the guild once soone other than its owner ca in contact with it for a certain period.
But it's too bad. In infinite space, such functions were aningless, and despite this Date Analyzing Station being a Quasi-Legendary King Rank treasure, it wasn't a soul artifact but a wonder of magic technology.
Now, it was Jacob's, and he had already found all the information in Myriad Galaxy King's belongings. Not only that, but the Alchemy King also recorded all the equipnt. Like any other alchemist, he was obsessed with recording his alchemy research, and the equipnt was a crucial part of it.
When Jacob saw Alma, he could feel the change starting to take place. Within a few years, she would completely forget about her hatred for him and beco a loyal slave.
"I have summoned you today to ask you so questions. Answer them truthfully, for I can see through your lies, and it's also best for you not to hide anything from because you choose this route to save yourself the torture and misery once you dare to resist .
"Forget about the outside world. Now, this is your new world. Who knows, as long as you are cooperative, and I get what I want from you without you dying, I might even consider changing your status from a 'Specin' to an 'Assistance.'
"You are nothing but a legendary king, but if you can survive your life as a specin, I might even help you beco a Mythical King. I always repay my enemies with miserable death and obedient helots with adequate rewards."
Jacob's words seed to have little effect on Alma, yet despite not being obvious, he could sense the change in her mind, which seed to have intensified very slightly.
His eyes flickered subtly, 'Just as I thought, the Soul Tether Hex's effect can be increased as long as the boundaries of the set rule are influencing the victim.'
He asked, "Tell , what kind of seal were you talking about back in the throne hall?"
Alma emotionlessly replied, "It was an ancestral seal created upon the foundation of the Ghost Domain by the Soulless Ghost Ancestor when the Ancestor opened the Soul Abyss.
"According to the annals of the 'Soul Ghost Clan,' the Soul Abyss was created by the Soulless Ghost Ancestor's godly prowess, and the reason the Ghost Race evolved from a Lord Race to a King Race was precisely because of the Soul Abyss.
"However, it was stated that the Soul Abyss was highly unstable, and to keep it from erupting and losing its power, the Ancestor also created a Soulless Seal, which was the Soulless Palace and the Throne of the Soulless and the Throne of the Soul were core of this Soulless Seal.
"For generations, the Soulless and Soul titles have been passed down in the Soulless Ghost Clan and the Soul Ghost Clan of Ghost Domain, who will inherit the Soulless Ghost King and Soul Ghost King positions in the Soulless Palace.
"The Soulless Ghost King always has pri authority over the Soulless Palace, and they are always the most talented male successors chosen for this title, while on our side, the Soul Ghost King title is inherited by the most talented woman.
"But no matter who ends up with these titles, they will always have to marry and then create a single heir for each generation. If the heir is a male, they will be sent to the Soulless Ghost Clan, while if it's a woman, she will go to the Soul Ghost Clan.
"However, creating an heir also has another aning in our Soulless and Soul Ghost Clans: once an heir is made, the legacy shrines will be activated again and gather power to create the next generation's Soulless and Soul Ghost Kings in 10,000 Years.
"Which also ans the reigning Soulless Ghost King and Soul Ghost King will have no choice but to abdicate their titles and enter the Soul Abyss, which, according to the records, leads to the Mythical Ascension Bridge!"
Jacob impassively listened all this ti, but when he heard the final part, his eyes flickered furious, and a strange glint shimred in his eyes when he heard 'Mythical Ascension Bridge' was inside the Soul Abyss.
Suddenly, Soulless's jeering words repeated in his mind about tricking the Soulless Ghost Ancestor into going into the Mythical Ascension Bridge without an Ascension Permit.
Now, he was almost certain that Soulless had tricked the Soulless Ghost Ancestor more than once, and all those previous Soulless Ghost Kings and Soul Ghost Kings were most likely dead, or there was another deeper purpose!
