Regarding issues of the soul, Gu Yuena has learned over these years from Sun Ming that they are mere illusions. Only by achieving the Primordial Spirit and uniting with the True Spirit can one transcend barriers and attain freedom.
Primordial Spirit and True Spirit are new terms coined by Sun Ming.
The gods of the Divine Realm possess only divine souls, which is merely a sublimated state of the soul, not a Primordial Spirit, nor do they understand what True Spirit is, as they rely solely on memories and will.
Although humans indeed use self-awareness as the basis, without merging with the True Spirit or enlightening the true self, they remain in the mundane world, where dreams are but illusions, and everything dissolves into emptiness.
Thus, those who refine their divine souls, apart from being stronger in power than ordinary people, in other aspects, especially in terms of emotions and desires, are still controlled by the body's instincts and trapped by them.
