40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao is accustomed to ignoring the first half of the sentence in the Scarlet Heart Demon, and muttered: "Then what do you think we are in?"

"In a general sense—"

The Scarlet Heart Demon said calmly, "We are already dead."

"what!"

Li Yao's soul released sharp ripples, which turned into countless faint gold data and runes that burst out, "Is there any mistake, this is your conclusion?"

"if not?"

The Scarlet Heart Demon asked, "Our soul and body have completely lost contact. No matter how I search and perceive, I can't find the'line' that can drag us back into the body. Our body is far away from the billions of stars. In addition, perhaps the brain and internal organs have ceased activity. In the best case, it is just to become a vegetative person, frozen by Xiao Ming and Wen Wen.

"This state is called'death', isn't it?"

"but……"

Li Yao retorted, "We have also experienced a similar state before, that is, we just jumped to the center of the star sea and suffered excessive stellar radiation in the poisonous scorpion star cluster. The time our body was almost decayed, our spirits also escaped from the body and sneaked into. Wu Yingxing, attached to a psionic puppet, got acquainted with Hante and Liuli!"

"That's different. At that time, our souls and bodies were in the same universe, in the same star system, and the distance between each other would not exceed ten light seconds. It can be said that they were still in the same stellar magnetic field. Within the shrouded area, in the'same piece of heaven and earth', in a mysterious way, keep in touch."

The Scarlet Heart Demon sighed, "This time, our soul and body are too far apart. As the so-called'quantity change causes qualitative change', when the distance reaches the level of tens of millions of light years, it will be enough to separate or even kill the body and the soul. Everything involved between.

"That's right, for those with a high level of transcendence, the soul out of the body, day and night travel, seems to be a common and necessary skill, but most people's soul and body will not be separated by more than a few hundred kilometers, at most Just a few light seconds, like us, "jumping" dozens of big worlds in one breath, and also engaged in super-high-intensity fierce battles in the form of souls, almost exhausting the last ray of soul power, and being an entire fleet. Bombing indiscriminately from low-Earth orbit, and for nearly an hour in the ionic flame of nearly ten thousand degrees high temperature, you wonder, is it possible to not die?

"So, it's not whether we can find the way home and find our body, but I doubt that even if we get back the body, there may be the problem of incompatibility and incompatibility between the soul and the body!"

"This--"

Li Yao's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

Although it is said that everyone came out to cultivate, they put their heads on their waistbands long ago, licking blood on the edge of the knife and eating mixed rice, pay attention to the head dropped a bowl and a big scar, eighteen years later, they will be a hero again, but, really " Dead", it still feels weird, so melancholy and melancholy.

"So, have we become ghosts?"

Li Yao wriggled the divine soul, making the pale golden data and information stream overflowing from the depths of the divine soul form a virtual palm. He overturned his palm, moved his fingers, and looked carefully, "Although I have never died, no I know what it's like to be a ghost cultivator, but I also had many good friends of ghost cultivators in the past. For example, Senior Ding Yin and Sister Qingqing who saved my life on the Great Wilderness train, heard them talk about the feeling of being a ghost cultivator.

"Gui Xiu... it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Ghost repair is a group of very special remnant soul fluctuations, which are quite sensitive and fragile. They can often only hide in special crystal brains and rely on psychic prostheses to act. This special crystal brain is equivalent to their uniqueness. Once merged into the crystal brain, it is difficult to move around. If you want to migrate to the second crystal brain, the procedure is very complicated and the risk factor is also very high.

"But I don't feel that way.

"I don't feel that I simply merged with the remains of the crystal brain in the floating castle. It is not that simple-I can stretch my will and perception in all directions as I want to invade and manipulate more magic weapons and crystal brains. I can clearly'see' the infinitely splendid and indescribable new world composed of endless psychic ripples, information data and cosmic radiation. I even feel that my soul can be swiftly and rapidly through the psychic web. Go wherever I want to go!

"Even if I really become a lonely wild ghost, it is also a lonely wild ghost who is free from the spirit web. Is this something that ordinary ghost cultivators can do?"

"You are right, ordinary ghost cultivators do not have super powers like ours."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "But there is a special kind of ghost cultivation, maybe it can be, that's the ‘star spirit’."

"Protoss?"

Li Yao was slightly startled.

He hasn't heard this term for a long time.

I think that when he started the Star Sea Jump for the first time and tried to die with the Bone Dragon Demon, the Starship Spark also carried five special ghost repairs or virtual spirits, that is, Professor Mo Xuan and Li Yao’s four. Brother.

As a result, the Spark and the Bone Dragon Demon encountered a mighty stellar storm together. Amidst the extremely intense radiation and high-energy particle stream, Professor Mo Xuan and other virtual spirits unexpectedly changed and became the previous ones. The unseen ghost repair or the embryonic form of the information life, that is, the "star spirit"!

Later, in the Celestial City Battle in the Flying Star Realm, in order to save Li Yao and the entire Flying Star Realm, Professor Mo Xuan had to forcibly swallow the master crystal brain that contained the Star Child, an extraterritorial celestial demon, and was tempted and eroded by the darkness. In the end, it transformed into a "Devil Mo Xuan", vainly trying to turn "Ghost Cultivation" into a "spirit clan", and the spirit clan became the main body of human civilization. This is another story.

"You mean that we accidentally hit and bumped and solved the ultimate mystery of all Professor Mo Xuan's inheritance?"

Li Yao reacted in an instant, "So our spirit has also become Professor Mo Xuan's form, super ghost repair——Xingling?"

"In the beginning, I thought the answer was this."

The Scarlet Heart Demon said deeply, "But after careful consideration for three days and three nights, I think the causal logic is likely to be reversed. The key question is why Professor Mo Xuan can get rid of the initial almost annihilated virtual spirit state and jump. Become a'star spirit' that far surpasses ordinary ghost repairs and can freely invade crystal brains and spiritual nets with human spirits?

"If it is said that at the moment he became a ‘star spirit’, his spirit has undergone a high degree of mutation, and he is no longer a pure human, then who is the culprit that caused his mutation?"

"This..."

Li Yaowei said, "This question is difficult to explain. God knows what kind of cosmic radiation and high-energy particle flow are contained in the stellar storm that we encountered back then, and what kind of impurities are contained in the particle flow? The combination of the frequency ripples and what kind of element triggers the mutation from the "virtual spirit body" to the "protoss"?

"In the early days of the Flying Star Realm, Professor Mo Xuan did some experiments, hoping to perfectly replicate the old star sea storms and upgrade more ghost repairs into protoss.

"When the new federation is established and the news of the Black Wind Fleet is coming, the Federal Government will regard the training of the'Protoss Warriors' as one of the key projects of a century of construction, and devote a large amount of resources to simulate the past. Scenes.

"But no matter how many areas with high incidence of stellar storms they find, or artificially simulate a stellar storm with different field patterns, they have tried almost every kind of ripple frequency and the mixed impact of metal elements. The mystery of'cultivating' and upgrading to'Xingling' is really weird!"

"Yes, the resources of the entire federation have been invested and repeated tens of thousands of times without any results."

Scarlet Heart Demon said, "But back then, casually jumping in the stars and encountering a star storm inadvertently created a magical star spirit-do you believe there is such a coincidence and such a lucky thing?"

Li Yao was startled slightly, and said: "I really don't believe in coincidences, let alone luck, but Professor Mo Xuan has become a Protoss. This is also a very true fact. How can I explain it?"

"Perhaps, the problem is not the star storm, not how special that star storm is, but another crucial factor."

The Scarlet Heart Demon said, "That is'Vulture Li Yao'. It is precisely because'Vulture Li Yao' was present, and in the process of dying with the Bone Dragon Demon, burning life and will to the limit, so Professor Mo Xuan and the others will After being infected, he changed from a'virtual spirit body' to a'star spirit'."

"You mean, we..."

Li Yao was stunned again.

"The answer to this question, and the answer to the other two questions, may be the same."

The Scarlet Heart Demon continued, "Why is it that when we are present and burning the soul to the limit under the invasion of the star sea storm, it is contaminated with the ripples that we spread, and Professor Mo Xuan can evolve from a'virtual spirit body' to a'star spirit' '?

"Why is it that after devouring our brain scanning database, in the huge information ocean of "Civilization Game", a new generation of information life with self-awareness like'Xiaoming' and'Wenwen' can be born?

"Why, even the core consciousness of'Boxing King Lei Zonglie' comes from the'self-learning and upgradeable combat puppet' of the magical world, and when he first met us, he mistaken us for his kind?

"You should know how special and powerful the boxing king is. Don't you think that it is in the'Evil Earth Paradise' and has never encountered other'self-learning and upgradeable combat puppets'? Those broken bronze iron , Hasn't it been dismantled without hesitation, and I haven't seen it talk about the same kind of friendship.

"No, what it said at the time was not only the meaning of upgraded combat puppets, but also a deeper meaning. Perhaps it felt the aura hidden in the deepest part of our souls by virtue of its instinct from the magical world. We are indeed it... the real kind!"
