After the golden light gate disappeared, Aaron and Klaus stepped into an endless void, with no concrete ground under their feet. The invisible will fluctuations around them turned into a faint blue-purple mist, surrounding them.

  "This is the ninth lock layer, the soul context area." Klaus said in a deep voice, as if his voice came from the abyss, echoing in the endless void, "The system will synchronize your soul here. As long as there is a slight fluctuation in your thoughts, it will be torn apart by the hidden logic here."

  Aaron looked up, and countless mottled images loomed in the mist: the scene of him reading a book when he was young, the fear when he wrote runes for the first time, the moment of trying side by side with the shadow mentor, and even the last glimpse of his father before his death... All of this seemed to have become a path node, leading him forward.

  [You have entered the soul context area]

  [Danger level: S]

  [Environmental characteristics: thoughts are visible, memories are touchable, and subconscious structures are virtualized and visualized]

  [Goal: Find the fragments of the "Soul Oracle" in the boundary between reality and illusion]

  The "Soul Oracle" is the last part of the father's oath page and the key to unlocking the truth of the soul system. It is said that it is hidden in the deepest part of the maze of the "boundary between reality and illusion" and can only be obtained by using true and pure heart language.

  The two of them stood back to back and talked softly: "Along the way, we relied on the power of language to break through layers of blockades, but here, runes and oaths are not enough. We must use our true hearts to welcome the intersection of falsehood and illusion."

  Aaron nodded and activated the "Speech Heart Oath·Truth Edition". A light curtain formed around him and Klaus, isolating the initial wave of memory. Then, he closed his eyes and began to "look inside" in a low voice:

  "Why am I here?

  Not for power, not for fame,

  but to restore the truth buried by the rules;

  I want words to become people's salvation again, not shackles."

  Before he finished speaking, the mist suddenly surged, and countless illusions turned into disordered runes, spinning rapidly around the two of them. It was a "virtual and real test barrier" designed to disrupt the will of outsiders and project false memories to the deepest depths.

  In the illusion, Aaron saw himself in the library of his childhood, and the scroll he copied in his hand turned into a scorching flame, burning him; in another scene, the pursuer in the old city turned into his own figure, stabbing the sharp blade deep into his heart; and his father's whisper of "Don't trust the writer of the rules" turned into a strange curse in countless repetitions.

  Memory fragments were torn apart again and again, and pain surged like a tide, as if to drown his reason.

  "Are you giving up?" A whisper echoed in the void - it sounded like his own voice, but also like countless echoes singing together.

  Aaron gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and activated "Free Logic Crystallization·Preface Refinement" to reorganize the scattered memory fragments in a nonlinear form, turning them into a firm statement:

  "Pain is real, fear is real,

  But I choose to use faith to transcend all oppositions between reality and illusion."

  Along with these words, the oath radiance on his body suddenly became stronger, shattering the illusions one by one, and the memory fragments gathered into a light path, leading directly to the entrance of the labyrinth deep in the void.

  "It's through." Klaus said softly, with surprise and admiration in his eyes, "Your will has successfully penetrated the test barrier."

  They walked along the light path, and the void under their feet gradually solidified into a stone staircase composed of runes, and each step was emitting a faint golden and silver light, leading directly to a blue light door formed by pure will.

  [Test: True Heart and Speech Resonance Reached Standard]

  [Green Door Unlocked]

  Aaron gently pushed the green door, and behind the door was a circular hall, with a huge transparent stone tablet floating in the center of the hall. The stone tablet seemed to be cut out of the void, with only one side engraved with a line of ancient text:

  "What people write is what their destiny is;

  When the heart of speech is clear, the truth will shine.

  This is the core of the soul oracle, and those who wish to obtain it will recast the way of writing."

  Under the stone tablet, a scroll of sheepskin pages with a faint glow slowly floated, and its handwriting was the last fragment left by his father. Aaron walked forward and reached out to touch the sheepskin. The oath and the soul oracle resonated in his body, and the light spots scattered, turning into refracted light beams, reflecting the hidden text on the walls around the stone tablet.

  Those hidden text records are the original contract of the "Life Soul System":

  "In the past, the gods opened the sky with the spirit of words and defined the boundaries with the law of words;

  But the power of the spirit of words was eventually shackled by humans,

  so seven layers of locks were set up to regulate the usurpation of the Tao.

  If someone can understand the truth with sincerity,

  they can obtain the "Soul Oracle" and free the bounded words;

  Then rewrite the new chapter of fate and revive the lost way of the spirit of words."

  Aaron's heart was strongly shaken. He slowly read the text on the stone tablet. His voice echoed in the hall and resonated with the ancient inscriptions, as if opening a seal. As he finished the last word, the light of the stone tablet suddenly converged, and a great power burst out from behind the tablet, shaking the void of the entire soul context area into countless cracks.

  "System warning: The main program is under strong impact, and the data flow is abnormally divergent." The faint mechanical prompt echoed in the void.

  "We have to leave quickly!" Klaus shouted.

  Aaron retracted the beam of light, put the parchment page in his arms, and took Klaus up the stone steps they came from. In the depths of the void, countless torn rune scrolls turned into light mist and surged, as if to pull them back, but the shield of "Speech Heart Oath" and the power of "Free Logic Crystal" worked together to protect the two of them, leaving the last golden afterglow in front of the light gate.

  When they crossed the green light gate, the gate dissipated like ripples, the void returned to the stone steps, and time and space stabilized again.

  Aaron was still panting, but he smiled: "I...successfully obtained the Soul Oracle."

  "This page will be the key to rewriting fate." Klaus patted him on the shoulder, "Maybe...we can really change this system."

  In the night, they stood back to back outside the Logic Tower, looking at the towering tower top again. With the last oath page fragment, they have completed the key task of the seven-layer lock layer. The power in their hands will have an unprecedented impact on the entire soul world.

  And in the depths of the void they had just left, the golden and silver light points gathered into a new node, running silently, as if foreshadowing——

  "The real revolution has just begun."
