The Spirit of the Bridge of Immortality is a soul or a spirit, also known as the Bridge Soul or the Soul of the Bridge of Immortal Treading, that was once one of the numerous Bridge Slaves of the Bridge of Immortality and fused with the bridge itself. His sole purpose, along with the Bridge Slaves, is to restore the Bridge of Immortality. [1]
This spirit acts as the will of the Bridge of Immortal Treading and grants eternal life to anyone who asks for it. But in exchange, he asks them to place their faith on him and become Bridge Slaves for all eternity. It was revealed that the Bridge Slaves are a part of the spirit and should he ever give up his memories and die, a successor, prepared beforehand, shall take his place as the new Bridge Soul.
History
The Bridge Soul was given the task of finding Han Shan by the Frost Soil Demon Emperor and make him a Bridge Slave, who will then become the new soul of the Bridge of Immortality. His mission was indeed accomplished, but not perfectly, for Han Shan's wife instead took over the latter's place.
