Chapter 141 - 117: The Essence of the Dream

Chapter 141: Chapter 117: The Essence of the Dream

But that wasn’t all there was to the brain.

Beneath deep memory lay a sea of forgotten things.

The brain itself couldn’t even access the memories there. Only when a few Memory Fragments from this sea of forgotten things floated up to the deep memory layer would the brain suddenly recall these "forgotten" things.

This understanding came from a virtual game development textbook Chen Qi had, which was a fairly common and popular theory in the human world.

In the Inner World, however, people had little interest in studying the memory structure of the brain.

This was because after Spirit Awakening, the brain was automatically enveloped and protected by the power of Spirituality.

The so-called "Brain Escape technology" could no longer affect Transcendents.

Trudeau had fallen for it because he was just a player.

Had it been Chen Qi, he wouldn’t have been affected by the ritual at all.

In other words, Chen Qi could no longer use the virtual reality headsets from the human world.

’If I want to experience a virtual game, I’ll probably have to make my own cheat program.’

The various Extraordinary systems of the Inner World instead focused their research on something ordinary people couldn’t comprehend: Dreams.

A widely accepted view was that Dreams were created from Memory Fragments and Spirituality.

Their essence was no different from Chen Qi’s spiritual world.

The only difference was that one was actively created, while the other was born unconsciously.

The Inner World’s enthusiasm for studying Dreams was mostly to get a glimpse into human consciousness and the Self.

Unfortunately, Chen Qi had only found bits and pieces of information in the reading rooms of the Royal Capital.

Information about the most mysterious aspect of humanity, the Self, was clearly not something apprentices would have access to.

...

"A great success. Now for the test."

A little over ten minutes later, the ritual finally took shape.

Completing such a complex ritual seemed to have consumed a fair amount of the Source Ore’s energy, as it started to become sluggish again.

Chen Qi casually tossed the little guy into the ancient metal fortress to keep the Red Falcon King company.

CLICK!

Chen Qi walked to the center of the ritual and inserted the Blood-colored Chip in his hand into a slot.

The next instant, the ritual flared with light, transforming into a virtual world.

...

"Hate, hate, hate!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Inside the virtual world, a ferocious, blood-red head flew about aimlessly.

This was the lingering resentment of Su Zhenqing, the Sect Leader of the Divine Tiger Sect.

’They really did use a technique similar to resentment-weaving.’

’No wonder the Source Code is written entirely in Doumu’s Spiral!’

Chen Qi hadn’t appeared in the virtual world; he was inside the ritual, decrypting the chip’s Source Code.

He was no longer the person he once was. Even with the Source Code written in Doumu’s Spiral, Chen Qi could still handle it with ease.

’Interesting, very interesting!’

’The essence of resentment is a chaotic mixture.’

’It can’t survive on its own at all and would quickly be worn away by the natural Matter Fields.’

’That’s why, at the moment of its creation, the residual consciousness within it locks onto its enemy’s Life Magnet Field.’

’But it’s too weak. It couldn’t beat its enemy when it was alive, so what makes it think it can turn the tables after death?’

’As a chaotic system, it’s inherently destined to collapse, and over a very short period of time at that.’

’To stabilize its existence, we used Spiritual Energy to interfere with it...’

Chen Qi hadn’t expected the chip to also contain a research file.

This certainly made things more convenient for him.

After reading through the entire file, Chen Qi gained a general understanding of the technology used by the Black Blood Federation.

Strictly speaking, this blood-red head was no longer the original resentment; it had been modified by Spiritual Energy.

The Black Blood Federation had used Spiritual Energy to reshape the resentment’s structure, treating it as a raw material for mechanical processing.

The ingenuity of this process lay in its ability to transform an incredibly chaotic resentment into a pseudo-Martial Dao will.

The essence of a Martial Dao will is a special type of Life Magnet Field. Even after being processed, resentment could never become a Life Magnet Field again.

However, it was a Matter Field that was incredibly close to a Life Magnet Field.

Chen Qi even suspected that the Black Blood Federation might have referenced the [Spiritual Transformation Pivot].

Although it was a pseudo-Martial Dao will, once it fused with a Life Form, it could guide that being to develop a true Martial Dao will.

...

’So, Memory Fragments still remain within the resentment, originating from decayed Spirituality.’

’What’s left behind is actually the part that the consciousness deemed most important.’

’For example, what Su Zhenqing left behind was his hatred for the Black Blood Federation and the Secret Techniques of the Divine Tiger Sect.’

’The [Evil Tiger Carrying Corpse] was part of the resentment to begin with. That’s the Root of how the chip possesses the Secret Technique.’

’But resentment is ultimately chaotic. To ensure the Secret Technique could run correctly, the Black Blood Federation subjected it to a comprehensive programming process.’

’In other words, they used Spiritual Energy to process the resentment.’

Chen Qi nodded as he read. This was information he truly hadn’t known.

But the Black Blood Federation’s technology was still a bit behind. If they possessed the methods of the King’s Game, they could have completed the resentment processing and then woven the [pseudo-Martial Dao will] directly into a person’s Life Magnet Field.

This would skip the physical chip step, getting it done in a single stroke.

The benefits of this were self-evident. There would be no need to select three people out of thousands; they could just load it onto anyone.

The only weaknesses were that the technical requirements would be too high, and its existence probably wouldn’t last very long.

Processed resentment was still resentment; it still couldn’t exist independently for too long.
