Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 401 The Power of Heart
The Venus Star has only five official members in total, and there is no special post for catering.Everyone agreed to take turns cooking during the trip to show fairness.The task of cooking today fell on the shoulders of the Dawn Knights. Their breakfast consisted of two slices of toast, a sausage, a scrambled egg with butter, vegetable salad and hot coffee.

"Ailandia, your cooking skills are not bad." Gongsun Ce said, "It's similar to what I usually cook."

He just went to take a shower, and now he changed into a set of loose sportswear, and sat around a square table with everyone to eat, while Wawu was eating its special ration on the ground.Qi Luo, who was gnawing bread, was very thankful that Shi Yu Ling was not cooking today, otherwise the best meal in the whole boat would have to be wow.

Elandia spread butter on the bread: "It's hard to make a simple kingdom breakfast. I think my cooking skills are still far from the knight Orianna."

"She's great at cooking." Gongsun Ce put down the plate, lay down on the table, and said nostalgicly, "I really miss the rice pudding and soufflé she made...she even made lightning pudding for us. Brother ate the whole plate."

"I'm afraid Mo Yuankai can only eat the vegetable salad and multi-grain rice that she made herself." Elandia commented.

Gongsun Ce laughed quite unscrupulously.He took a picture of breakfast and sent it to his elder brother who was far away, and got two middle fingers in reply from the other party.

Breakfast was quickly swept away by everyone, and they quickly entered into today's serious work.Elandia pushed over a whiteboard and began to write and draw on it.

"To sum up the current situation. In the incident in the Magneto State, we found that people's ideas will affect the state of the local totem. We don't know if this is a single case or a common situation, which needs to be investigated later As it unfolds gradually. Be careful not to get preconceived ideas from a single instance...”

"It's easy to fall into the misunderstanding of thinking according to the right number, which interferes with the objectivity of judgment." Gongsun Ce continued, "Everyone understands the truth. My main curiosity now is how did the saint do such... bizarre things? "

Elandia wrote the word on the top of the whiteboard: Heart.

"I think he took advantage of the hearts of the people and connected them spiritually with the totem."

Qin Qianbai raised his hand: "Teacher Alandia, what is your intention?"

"In order to describe this concept conveniently, let's start with an example. Do you still remember Ce's experience at the Wishing Festival?"

The wish festival is a festival where the wishes of the Zero Island hidden gods are fulfilled.Gongsun Ce met an old-time Hidden God blacksmith there, who later went to the capital of the sky.

"I remember that I wanted to create a peace of mind equipment." Gongsun Ce stroked the frame of the glasses, "Then the old blacksmith gave me a popular science, saying that only materials with a specific mind can be used to make the corresponding mind equipment. .Some creatures are born with specific intentions, and some intentions are endowed with material things because people "believe". The peace of mind on my spectacle frame comes from the gratitude and gratitude of the hidden gods."

Elandia wrote "Substance" in the lower left corner of "Mind" and linked them with arrows.

"From this incident, you learned that the heart and mind have power, which is what we generally call 'mind'. The impermanence method that lights up the aura allows you to gradually master and use it in practice, and for ordinary people without aura People, how will that power be displayed?"

Gongsun Ce pondered: "Without aura, you can't control your mind, which is equivalent to power being 'locked' in your heart... But the existence of special materials has proved that people's thoughts have an impact on the objective world. That is to say This power...the so-called 'mind'...will 'dissipate' along with their thinking and actions...attached to other things?"

Elandia wrote a name under "Mind Matter": material.

"That's right, Ce. This is where most of the special materials come from. Creatures born with minds basically come from the influence of the giant dragon phenomenon. They are derivatives brought by the monarch dragon; acquired materials with minds come from People have 'believed' for hundreds of thousands of years, such as mithril can break demons, ice crystals represent purity, and the core of old trees means holiness. These thoughts have an irreversible impact on matter, making them have corresponding powers. "

"Creatures born with minds are the effects of dragon phenomena, and these wonderful materials come from..." Gongsun Ce searched for a suitable word, "Supernatural phenomena caused by humans. Human phenomena?"

"It's an appropriate description." The Dawn Knight praised, "Both the Impermanence Envoy and the Heaven-Returning Warlock have the ability to actively use their own minds. They are equivalent to powerful existences in human phenomena. The secret biography of Qin that you reproduced with superpowers earlier is a good example.

In fact, you don't understand the true essence of these martial arts, you just use your own mind to combine technology prototypes to achieve similar effects.This is because you now have an extremely powerful aura, and your mental strength and keen perception are enough to support yourself to solidify your illusory mind into your moves. "

Elandia wrote "Strength" on the lower right of "Mind", and marked it as "Movement" after connecting the two.

"But most of the time, people's minds are not strong enough, and they are not single-minded enough. The minds produced by human beings will be more, wider and more complicated, just as you are listening to my words now, and the number of minds is running in your mind at the same time. Ten or even hundreds of messy 'thoughts', you will think about the arrangements for the night, think about tomorrow's breakfast, think about relatives and friends far away in the capital of the sky...

Note that the totality of these distractions far exceeds the focused, focused mind.So, what kind of impact will these thoughts have? "

Elandia extended a third arrow from "Mind", pointing to the question mark directly below.

Shigure replied: "These scattered minds are large in number and low in quality, so they cannot directly affect matter. They cannot have power outside the spiritual prison world, so they cannot become a collective subconscious that can interfere with the world.

But they still have something in common, and some cultural symbols born of thinking and creation will become their home.They are gods in fantasy, some tacit traditions, stories passed down from mouth to mouth.These symbols cannot really interfere with reality, they are like countless ghosts without mass and thought, just...existing, like ancient cultural symbols, like memes in the Internet. "

"I'm sorry I was wrong." Gongsun Ce said, "You understand. I thought you really didn't understand before and pretended to understand."

Shi Yuling opened his teeth and claws: "Say! Who is ignorant now!"

"I'm a genius, okay, what's wrong with my ignorance!" Gongsun Ce said confidently.

Elandia ignored the quarrel between the two, erased the question mark, and wrote "meme": "Ms. Realm-envoys are able to actively use meme weaving power."

"Huh?" "Huh?"

The bickering two turned their heads in unison, making dumb noises, like two dumb birds who knew for the first time that they could flap their wings.

The eldest lady couldn't bear to look directly at her: "You all should withdraw from the ranks of World Creation Envoys..."

Elandia smiled: "You are confused at this moment because you don't understand that you have already used memes in your own impermanence. Think of the ignorance of Nirvana Reincarnation, the fairy tales of Dreamland. Their foundations are all Cultural symbols, that is, messages that have no power."

Both Gongsun Ce and Shi Yuling fell into deep thought. They were thinking about the scriptures, seals and myths and legends they had learned.The eldest lady raised her hand and asked: "Teacher Elandia, I still don't understand the difference between memetic mind and collective unconsciousness."

Elandia drew an ocean in the blank space of the whiteboard.

"I guess the collective unconscious you're imagining is a vast 'ocean' full of power, which contains infinite power. Genesis magicians draw water from this ocean like magicians to gain power, and also It is possible to control the minds of multitudes by influencing the ocean itself."

The eldest lady nodded repeatedly.

"The meme mind has no power and cannot interfere with reality and creatures. People's minds create it, but it cannot directly affect human beings. It is more like an invisible 'library', which stores countless abstract symbols. This library is constantly expanding with the development of human society, some books are damaged in the process of development, and more books are filled into the library with the creation of concepts.”

"And if I use the book inside..."

"The book itself does not disappear. Because it is not energy, it is never consumed."

"Hmm..." "Um..." "Tsk..."

Now the dizzy members added one more, they quietly meditated on this complicated concept, feeling as if they had touched something, but couldn't tell the key point.

Qi Luo looked at them in confusion, and said, "So, Meme Mind is an emoticon package database built on the root server of the Mind Internet, and only high-privileged users can access it?"

Everyone looked at her with weird eyes, and the information lifeform whispered: "The meme mind can be used to build spells, so it is an emoticon pack. Emoticon packs can enhance the expressive effect of information!"

Just like you put a tearful cat's head in the dialog box when you are chatting, everyone can experience your sadness more intuitively.But the head of the crying cat has not disappeared, and there is no real crying cat. It has only been "used" once, and it can be "used" countless times.

The high authority of the Genesis Law Envoy allows them to have more intuitive access to this hidden emoji library, so they can use it however they want... That's how I understand it..."

Gongsun Ce's eyes widened a little bit, his mouth was wide open, and his hands were dangling in mid-air.He walked up to the girl, pressed her shoulders, and said in a surprised tone: "You are simply a genius, Qiluo!"

"Hey?" Qi Luo smirked.

Gongsun Ce thought of the high-level battles he had witnessed, the countdown and magic pupils of the old regiment leader, Elandia's chariot, the sun and the galaxy, and the gods that Situ Yi had created.He then thought of the concepts and skills that the eldest lady and Will had taught him in the past two months, the "flow of force" that was so abstract that he could not imagine.Looking at the world from another angle, suddenly enlightened.

"I understand! That's not boxing or practicing!" He said excitedly, "That's writing articles, it's painting! It's the expression of information completed with aura! The addition of memes is to make this expression more powerful and straightforward , like an allusion in an ancient text or a hidden metaphor in a picture..."

"That's why Rejuvenation and Impermanence both require cultural background." Shigure Zero muttered, "Of course, how can someone who doesn't even know how to write a story write a story... just a flash of inspiration can't maintain the world forever..."

The strongest members of the two teams fell into a state of almost bewildered at the same time, Qi Luo opened his mouth half-opened, pointing at himself: "Did I say something?"

"You made a statement that was direct, concise and to the point. Nothing could have been more important than that."

Elandia gestured for the other two to come out of the room with her.They left the bridge to the two impermanent envoys who were in a strange state, and they discussed in a low voice outside.

"My family's martial arts is also a kind of intentional use?" Qin Qianbai asked.

"In my opinion, yes." Elandia said, "We weave our power into constant principles to maintain the world, and warriors like Qin Ming will integrate constant principles into their bodies."

"My heart is heavenly, martial arts become reasonable...that is the sign of the ultimate realm..." Qin Qianbai pondered, "It is also a kind of heart...needs comprehension and extreme emotions, um..."

Like the two people in the room, she muttered and left.Qi Luo watched their performance, and suppressed her voice extremely softly.

"So, Elandia. The method of impermanence and the art of returning to heaven are actually...a way of influencing the objective and real world with subjective idealism? A special expression technology of information supported by individual energy sources?"

The dawn knight took a deep look at the girl: "Miss Qiluo, if you practice the law of impermanence, you may become the fastest-growing impermanence envoy in history."

"...That is the impermanence that is most likely to become malignant?" Qi Luo guessed, "I am an information lifeform, and my information expression is so efficient that my own existence itself will be distorted by the meme mind?"

"Most likely."

Qi Luo shuddered: "It's too scary, I don't want to practice!"

·
A whole half of the day passed in silence, and the members who could make the most noise fell into a state of delusion, making today's Venus Star particularly quiet.

Qin Qianbai was meditating on the deck, getting up from time to time to try a move or two, and then returned to silence again.

Shi Yuling was flipping through books in the library. She occasionally grabbed a book and only read a line or two in it, then discarded it and meditated.

Gongsun Ce is sleeping.

With the help of his dream, he returned to the hut he had entered after the first enlightenment. In the rough room there was a white fireplace and Nirvana flames, as well as the pupil of the netherworld and the sword of the end.Now there is an additional pair of glasses and a gold cup in the room, which are the weapons of the mind of Gongsun Ce, which are embodied in the space of his mind in the form of decorations.He sat down cross-legged in front of Nirvana, and put his hands into the flames.

The core is the same, Gongsun Ce thought.The art of returning to heaven is music or dance, and the law of impermanence is poetry or articles. The foundation of the technology is to use the mind... to express information to affect reality.So he doesn't understand "force", just like a writer can't understand the rhythm, but he can understand the emotions in those pieces of music, he can write music reviews, so he reproduced those moves.

The current Gongsun Ce only has the work "Nirvana Reincarnation", and he needs to complete this work before he can consider the next stage.And how should he improve?Both Elandia and Will suggested that he develop his own fighting moves...to develop, to create...

Could he do something different?

Once this idea appeared, it lingered in Gongsun Ce's heart.He felt that his emotions were gradually dominated by a high desire to create, as if the thoughts that had been suppressed in his body for a long time were released at once, making people almost have the urge to dance.Gongsun Ce stood up in the hut and walked anxiously. Now he has an idea, but he doesn't know how to write...how to start...

"Keep calm, Ce."

Elandia's voice sounded beside him.She did not know when she appeared in the house, sitting by the white fireplace.She was dressed the same as on the boat, wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and trousers.Gongsun Ce waved his hand impatiently: "I know! I won't be in a hurry, I will start with the simplest...a short story, a small move...but I don't know how to do it! I can't write it, I……"

"Think." Elandia said, "What is your best subject matter?"

The answer to this question came without thinking.Gongsun Ce has always been a negative person, and what he is best at expressing his mind—the type of information he expresses—is undoubtedly those negative emotions and self-destructive impulses.Lonely, sad, painful, angry, it is because he is such a bad person that he can practice the magical method of reincarnation of Nirvana.

Those negative qualities are his source of strength.

"I want to express it..." Gongsun Ce muttered to himself, "The form is... no moves, I'm not good at fist-to-body moves. I like weapons, props, and tools that are as convenient as telekinesis and white matter." "...Memes, the elements that make it alive...Ah! The ancient script and Yin Qi taught by Yan Qi!"

At this moment, Gongsun Ce really understood what Tianji used to call "laying the foundation". He did not lack creative materials, and Yan Qi had taught him those things long ago.He sat down by the fireplace, put his hand into the nirvana, and began to create his own 'tool'.He needs a proper "beginning" that can inspire subsequent creations and be able to integrate into the current system... still lacking a little inspiration, he wants to immerse himself in the negative end...

Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand to the side, and Elandia took the filthy gold cup and handed it to him.The holy grail was filled with blood that was as fragrant as wine. He raised his glass and drank the blood wine.

Extreme filth and evil thoughts surged in his heart, and the next moment, Gongsun Ce fell into the boundless dark red contentedly.
