  Chapter 593 The Coming Finale (33)

   After everyone finished resting, more than an hour had passed.

  As Ian speculates, after holding the power of the dead king for a period of time, he has already vaguely realized the existence of the "heart light body".

   To be honest, after so many years of practicing the way of sublimation, Ian has already had an accurate understanding of the power system of the Terra world.

  Essentially, Terra’s way of sublimation does not focus on the body at all, but on the ‘soul’.

According to the many classics in the Great Library of the Imperial Capital and a few words about the civilization of the pre-epoch, Ian noticed that during the civilization of the pre-epoch, there seemed to be no sublimators above the 'fourth energy level' at all. No.

  The entire art of sublimation is a branch of alchemy, a spiritual school that mainly focuses on improving one's own soul.

In the civilization period of the pre-epoch, there were not many monsters today, nor did they have so many rich power components. At that time, the sublimated person could only temper his spirit while sharpening his body through continuous meditation and exercise. The will reaches a point of 'fullness', that is, reaches the limit of human beings.

  After that, if someone is talented, he can gradually perceive the source quality, and use the source quality to gather the source seed for himself.

   This is the first energy level.

Only those who have reached the limit of human beings are qualified to gather the source seed, and the success rate of the source seed is not high. Although medicine was extremely advanced at that time, and it can be rescued if it fails, but since then, it is thousands of times if you want to do it a second time. It's hard.

  The second energy level requires the source quality accumulated by the source seed to reach a threshold, so that the spirit will gradually mature, and then the soul will be condensed.

  The third energy level is another transformation—after the soul is solidified, it can act without the body.

As we all know, human beings can think without a soul. The body itself has wisdom, and the soul itself has the ability to think independently. The two resonate in a way that transcends time and space, and do double thinking. It even possesses various mysterious abilities.

  The soul at that time was called the heart light body, the substitute or the superego... All in all, that was the limit that the sublimation skills of the civilization of the previous era could reach.

  After all, in a civilization that can reach and transform the virtual world with simple alchemy, the function of the soul can be completely replaced by many phase instruments and alchemy.

The process of sublimation practice is very painful, and it depends on talent—here refers to a persistent mental state, purely physical talent is meaningless to the civilization of the previous era—even if you succeed, you have a soul, but it’s just not enough. You need to use the equipment to sneak into the void, no big deal.

  Only the third energy level is enough to become a master and privileged person in related fields.

  Because they have indeed proved their extraordinary will and wisdom, in this world, they do not seek the quickness and convenience brought by any technology, but analyze their hearts and dig deep into the power of their souls.

Such a person can be successful no matter what he does, no matter what career he can achieve, even if he is unlucky for a while, as long as he is not killed, he will rise again. He will not be discouraged and blame himself, but be rational Look at your mistakes objectively.

  Because his way of looking at the world has surpassed the thinking of mortals, they are like manipulating game characters, looking at the world condescendingly, the body is no longer a cage that restricts their thinking and perspective, but a starting point.

   As for the fourth energy level...

  Humanity has never reached this energy level with individual strength in the pre-epoch civilization.

Those with this power are actually their creations—the super creatures that used the etheric core as the core energy at the beginning of the "different world colonization center" and "space battleship carrier-based aircraft matrix", whether it is the crystal dragon or the frost lure moth , They are the ultimate civilization war weapons created by the civilization of the pre-epoch by integrating the essence of the entire civilization. If placed on an ordinary planet, one body is enough to suppress the entire planet.

  Even among the vast universe, there are very few planets with natural fourth-level life. Each of them is an extremely rare Titan planet, and it is a super-high-risk forbidden place for death.

   And such a heavy weapon of civilization, the civilization of the pre-epoch created countless, God knows how many kinds, how many.

  Anyway, there are spark ships of alien civilizations, and the Terrans of the pre-epoch civilizations are constantly inspired. They enthusiastically absorb those technologies and use their own methods to turn them from imagination into reality.

  However, this technology and even civilization form derived from aliens have also greatly affected the development of Terra civilization itself.

  The most obvious manifestation is the sublimation technique.

  The disaster that fell from the sky aggravated this point even more.

  A catastrophe from the sky. So far no one knows the truth of the disaster that destroyed the civilization of the pre-epoch, but the broken moon is enough to prove that it was a terrible disaster that completely destroyed the civilization of Terra, but the Moon of Observation blocked the destruction for people. .

  A considerable portion of the surviving Terrans are Ascendants...the individual strength of the Ascendants has been proven, and they are able to live freely in the environment after the Skyfall disaster, and even ascend better.

  Why did pre-epoch civilization need to reach the limit of the human body in order to condense the source species?

   To put it bluntly, the human body is actually too weak.

  —Since perception cannot capture the essence, then we transform our bodies.

  Even if it is limited to the strength of the physical body and cannot perceive the source seed as an adult, at least it can greatly increase the number of source quality perceivers.

At this point, the pre-epoch civilization has already adapted—they have transformed all human beings, whether it is the white people, the red people, the iron people, the golden people, or even the elves, dwarves, murlocs and subhumans... They are all for interstellar immigrants in the past, corresponding to Adaptive 'templates' developed for various planets.

Yes. Humans on Terra will show different adaptability depending on the area they live in.

  Any existing human race is essentially a human being, but because of the drastic changes in Terra and the extreme ecological environment, they have shown adaptation to the environments of different planets.

  Since this is the case, through the screening caused by a large number of deaths, the human race adapted to the world after the skyfall disaster was born naturally.

   They are the people of Terra today. The tribes of Terra.

  Ethnics adapted to source quality and sublimation.

   But that's not enough.

The first energy level is too weak. Apart from greatly improving the perception and energy of the outside world, there is no strengthening of any strength—all kinds of monsters, skyfall monsters, aliens and even alien monsters are raging on the land of Terra. Because of the weak power of the first energy level, it is impossible to fight these man-made weapons and tools, or even alien monsters.

  So, use their power for yourself.

  The biotechnology of the Terra people in the pre-epoch civilization was extremely advanced. They had already left the foundation for their bodies to load various biological organs, and even loaded a lot.

  After the catastrophe of the skyfall, the Terra people used the remaining alchemy and sublimation skills to transform their bodies, refine the source material structure in the body of the monster, and perform a kind of finishing process to create the original potion.

   That is the initial prototype of the way of sublimation that Ian is practicing today.

  Integrating the information in the Sequoia Base and the various hints given by the silver chip, Ian sorted out the evolution process from the pre-epoch civilization to the present Terra sublimation technique.

   From it, he keenly noticed that the current sublimation skills are essentially two sets of cultivation systems.

  One is Terra’s original ‘soul sublimation’. One is the 'sublimation of the body' developed after the disaster of falling from the sky.

  The mixture of these two practice systems led to the birth of the 'fifth energy level', a level that was not fully touched by the civilization of the previous era.

   And the heart light body is no longer just a solid soul with supernatural powers.

   It is a fifth element bred after the organic combination of the soul and the physical source.

   "Ether..."

  Standing at the edge of the black soil field, Ian stared at the mist in his hand, which shone with blue light.

  It seems to be a kind of entity, but if someone touches it, it will never react with it.

   Only Ian. Only Ian himself can operate the fifth element bred by the mixture of his soul and source quality.

   Unique, everyone will never have the same fifth element.

He whispered slowly: "It turns out that psionic energy and source quality are essentially one. The reason why natural psionic energy is difficult to use is because it is the most deeply combined with source quality, and it is the power closest to the original ether, so Almost inexhaustible, inexhaustible."

   "Only after mastering the original ether, can human beings freely control the power of the world like a real extraordinary life. The same is true for monsters. The giants of giant beasts are beyond common sense because of the support of ether and natural spiritual power."

"Potions can only provide materials for 'physical sublimation'. If you really want to achieve the transition from the second energy level to the third energy level, the potion is just an introduction. It is just a simple 'source of power for the sublimator'. What is needed for sublimation is The cognition of the self is extremely stable, so stable that even if the body has no soul, and the soul has no body, it can still maintain exactly the same, and there is no wrong 'consensus'."

   "And the firmness of this consensus can even initially mix the psychic energy condensed in the soul with the source quality condensed in the body, and create the initial 'primordial ether' in the human body."

   "And the light body of the heart is conceived from this original ether."

   "And it can affect the source quality and natural spiritual power, so that people without spiritual power can create 'life spiritual power' for themselves."

Ian doesn't need this - he already has the vision of prescience, and if his mind light body awakens the power, it will only strengthen and assist the vision of foreseeing, but even so, his mind light body will have Extremely powerful.

   Now, with the blessing of the power of the dead king and the huge amount of source quality bred in the core of the ancient dragon, Ian's body has begun to condense some "primordial ether" bit by bit.

  He is already condensing his mind light body.

   But this is only the power of the dead king, and it does not mean that Ian himself has completely crossed that threshold.

  Ian is still thinking about his 'consensus'.

  —What exactly is it that I will never abandon, and will definitely act according to it, so that I will not be troubled, worried, or distracted?

  Ian silently looked around the entire black soil field, and his scarlet blood eyes looked around the entire subspace labyrinth. His doubts seemed to be asking many dead souls: "What about you?"

  【Revenge】

  The dead souls responded in unison: [There is still peace]

  There is no hesitation in their voices, no distracting thoughts and worries, bewilderment and confusion.

   This is what they consistently agree on.

yes. Therefore, if a dead king fully integrates himself into these dead souls, he will break through the third energy level by leaps and bounds-to have his own heart light body.

  But Ian is different...his self-awareness is too strong, and he has never been affected by the revenant.

   Even, he is still affecting the dead souls in turn.

   Even so, the souls of the dead are still relying on their own consensus to gather the heart light body and provide Ian with valuable experience in condensing the heart light body.

  At this moment, Ian heard the voice of the Huaiguang Rescue Team headed by Hui Jian, and they had finished their rest.

never mind. Time to go.

  He thought so.

   So Ian turned and walked towards them.

   Towards the end of this adventure.
