Swampman technology is exactly the opposite of the power of "desire".
In other words, they are abilities that complement each other.
Jacob's Swamp Man technology can create a soul and body that are exactly the same as the original body, but lacking the original body's consciousness, and it is even possible to give birth to a completely new consciousness.
Shaping the body is easy enough, and it is not difficult for the extraordinary abilities in this world.

But this technology of "adding souls out of thin air" is totally unreasonable!
——Neither science nor mysticism.
Because the total number of souls in this world is generally limited. If the souls of the dead cannot become phantoms in the dream world, they will be recycled as materials for new souls.
Generally speaking, according to this cycle, the number of souls will only decrease, but in fact the population of the material world is constantly increasing. The reason is very simple... The law of reproduction brought by the Source River of Creation makes the First Source River bear the mission of "creating new souls".
That is to say, the insufficient souls are supplemented by the First Source River.
Therefore, the souls of ancient times were close to gods, like the sun; the souls in the dark ages were as savage and bloodthirsty as wild beasts, because they were mixed with the essence of "beasts"; and as the times progressed, no matter which race they were, they were gradually moving towards "love". That's why the Sand Clock prevented the necromancers in the material world from controlling and detaining souls, preventing people from resurrecting from the dead... and it also didn't like the Fallen Angels who directly kidnapped souls.
From the sparse population in ancient times to the billions of lives today, these are all miracles brought about by the slow flow of the First Source River. But it would be bad if the water was drained by mistake. No one knows how much pressure the source river can withstand, so it is better not to test such things.
However, the soul recycling mechanism is not very reliable - the pillar gods of heaven take a little, and I take a little, so the number of souls used for recycling is definitely not enough. We can only rely on the release of water from the Source of Creation River... But that being said, we should save as much as possible.
Since even the gods of heaven are trying to make money, then at least we should stop making money in the material world.
You don't deserve it, right?
This is probably the purpose of the existence of the power path in the past - to cause killing through violence, thereby reducing the population and releasing the pressure of creation. Authoritarianism will cause wars... After each large-scale war, the birth rate will increase significantly.
This is also because enough soul fragments have been recovered.
So it is obvious that Jacob could not have created a soul out of thin air.
That is something that only the Beast Master and Hengwo can do together, and he is not even on the path of love.
There are only two possibilities for Jacob to obtain a brand new soul from the Swamp Man technology - either he used the souls stranded in the material world as materials; or he sneaked into other source rivers... For example, the source river of the Transcendental Path, and stole some souls that were not favored by the Pillar Gods and the Celestial Officials.
Just like the handmade chocolates for Valentine's Day, no one usually starts by grinding cocoa beans. Instead, they just heat and melt the ready-made chocolate and pour it into a new mold container.
What Jacob did was roughly the same as this.
This kind of thing is not legal, but the rules are lax.
Most phantoms can become stronger by eating souls. But with so many wild phantoms, we can't leave no one alive.
As long as it's not too much... secretly taking a bite of unwanted souls, except for the Silver Crown Dragon and the Sand Clock, everyone turned a blind eye. And most of the phantom demons rely on their own power to crawl out of the source river... People have already risked being eaten by phantom demons to crawl out and become phantom demons, you can't just kick them back, right?
The soul that has come into contact with the power of the phantom demon has already become a phantom demon, and even if you kick it back, you can't recover it. It's the same problem that Haibasha's daughter is facing.
Although Aiwass doesn't know what Jacob will do or become in the future, he can infer Jacob's value through Huan Tiansi's actions.
They are the same person after all. Aiwass knew that Huan Tiansi was a nine-week speedrunner without blood or tears, so he knew that he would not do anything unnecessary.
In other words, Jacob will be of great use in some major event in the future. But until Aiwass traveled through time, Jacob had not officially appeared. This means that the environment in which he will appear will be later...
...Further back, there will be an invasion of nothingness.
Combined with the fragments of Tiansi in the field of desire, Aiwass finally understood part of Huantiansi's plan -
Swamp Man's "creation" does not need to be completed while the original body is still here. In other words, Swamp Man is actually close to a "3D scanning and then 3D printing" technology. The biggest problem with this technology is that it will give birth to a completely new consciousness... Although it is very similar to the original body, it is actually not the same person at all.
Just like Aiwass's mother, both Annes look like Annes, but one of them chooses to leave on her own accord while the other chooses to stay. This is enough to prove that they are clearly different.
But if this authority is added, it will be different.
This means that if Aiwass's "memory capacity" is large enough, he can even scan a large amount of data used to create the Swamp People; and engrave their self-awareness onto something.
In other words…
Huan Tiansi can copy some people in this world, and then reshape them from another world. In this way, they can be "teleported" to another world.
Even if they could simultaneously destroy the old soul and old consciousness when creating a new soul...then they would have a "cross-world teleporter". The destroyed soul could be used as material to create a new soul, while the old consciousness would be destroyed to maintain the absolute uniqueness of the same will.
For the individual who was "teleported", he came directly to the new world through the teleporter.
"... Star Trek?"
Aleister murmured softly.
That was a movie she... had seen in her previous life. They had also played a similar game.
She and Aiwass thought of the same thing at once - since they both had this memory, it meant that this was the knowledge that Huan Tiansi had given them. Or... it was the part that Huan Tiansi wanted them to know.
If only one person was thinking about it, it would be fine, but if two people thought of it at the same time... then it means that it is very likely to be the correct answer. After all, they are both another possibility of Huan Tiansi.
"I see……"
Huan Tiansi's plan became clearer.
Why did he take the two source rivers directly to the new world? Was it just to merge into the Pillar of Miracles? What if he couldn't come back by then? Or what if the world was destroyed as soon as he left?
This authority now gives Aiwas the answer.
As long as Huan Tiansi holds the Tiansi fragments of Xue Tiansi in any way... he can directly copy some people and recreate them from another world. And the raw materials of their souls can be extracted from the source river.
If this world was destroyed, it would be equivalent to Huantiansi teleporting them to a safe place.

——It was by no means a hysterical struggle, nor was it a "last dance" with no other options.
Huan Tiansi had not lost his rationality and caution at all... from the very beginning. Everything was in his plan.
Just like Aiwass, everything that seems risky is actually calculated and calm.
"…So, what are you going to decide, Aiwass?"
Aleister looked at Aiwass with some worry.
The joy of the promotion was now overshadowed by more complicated emotions. She was very worried that Aiwas would have wild thoughts... She was especially afraid that Aiwas would suddenly go crazy and choose to give up himself to help Huan Tiansi.
After all, Aiwas has a part of the path of dedication, so this is entirely possible. Compared to "going crazy and suddenly snatching away two source rivers", the success rate of Huantiansi's plan is surprisingly high. It can even be said that it is enough as a "worst option".
No wonder the Pillar God chose to support Huan Tiansi... No wonder Sha Shiji chose not to help either side.
"Don't worry..."
Aiwass also knew what Aleister was worried about.
He shook his head and whispered to comfort them, "I won't abandon you. After all, my life no longer belongs to me alone...
"I will be with you no matter what."
Aleister made a displeased sound.
She could understand what Aiwass meant - if they hadn't been there, Aiwass might have really made this choice. After all, this was indeed the most reliable and secure plan... A person who plans for nine lives must have thought of more things than one life. Just like an amateur should not command an expert... Entrusting oneself to another self is a very "safe" idea.
Now Aiwas didn't do this only because he had concerns. He couldn't let go of the people he loved, the beasts of sin who had entrusted their trust to him, and his wife and children.
Aiwass is gentle and easy-going. Although he has a transcendent soul, he lacks aggression. It seems that he was put in a yellow robe and pushed here step by step by the people around him.
—But to Aleister, fuck it.
The world was none of her business—Aivas was hers.
Aleister looked at Isabel. As the carrier of the fragment of the Desire God, he gave her guidance without mercy:
"The fact that Aiwass can still have such thoughts, even if it only crosses his mind for a moment, means that you haven't squeezed him enough, Isa - you should take care of him! He shouldn't even have such thoughts!"
“Woo…”
Isabel blushed immediately and covered her cheeks which were instantly getting hot.
She wasn't that easily shy, mainly because there were outsiders here...
...But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem so strange.
Isabel perked up immediately.
She looked at Aiwass, and followed Aleister's instructions. Like a frowning puppy, her cute features turned fierce for a moment: "Are you thinking about hurting yourself again? Don't think about that kind of messed up stuff!"
"Uh...I..."
Aihua suddenly shrank back and became much more obedient.
"…If we use love to constrain devotion, can we reach the realm of reason?"
Sherlock watched everything coldly and murmured in a low voice: "This actually... makes sense?"
In other words, they are abilities that complement each other.
Jacob's Swamp Man technology can create a soul and body that are exactly the same as the original body, but lacking the original body's consciousness, and it is even possible to give birth to a completely new consciousness.
