The essence of psychic awakening is that some people's spiritual power is naturally strong enough, their emotions are extreme enough and their demands are clear enough, so they can access the large etheric circulation, and the large etheric circulation feeds back to their psychic model.

It is not the ether that gives all living beings psychic powers, but the ether that molds the psychic power in the hearts of all living beings into the shape of a psychic model.

And this model is similar to the random AI drawing. Even if the keywords are the same, the spiritual energy given each time is absolutely different - someone who wants to see things in the distance may get clairvoyance or clairvoyance. If you get reading and writing, you may be able to travel with your soul, you may be able to gain the power of the prophet...

This is the 'accuracy' and 'randomness' of psychic energy - awakening psychic energy will definitely provide a psychic model that meets the keyword requirements, but what it is specifically is not clear.

Miles' psychic powers are due to the spiritual power of the dead souls helping him awaken and enhancing his ability to communicate with the Great Ether. Otherwise, he might not be able to embark on the path of psychic powers on his own.

And Frost Butterfly's growth may also be because of this - as a new elf, Frost Butterfly's growth is somewhat unexpectedly fast. This may be due to the power of the many dead souls and phantoms that Ian killed in Avak's laboratory. Some of it also overflowed into her body.

It sounds simple.

But for those beings who cannot transcend time and space and cannot observe the large ether flow, they simply cannot see the process of 'ether' feeding back to the 'psionic model'.

It's like an ant crawling on the ground, suddenly seeing a piece of sugar in front of it. It doesn't understand where the sugar came from, and it doesn't know who gave it the sugar. Of course, it doesn't know why the other person gave it this sugar. candy.

But Ian can know.

"It's no wonder that only the four orthodox religions with prophetic inheritance can stably create psykers with corresponding abilities... and they must be very powerful prophets."

Because only a powerful enough prophet knows from the ether all the conditions required for a 'specific spiritual power', including 'the type of desire required', 'the corresponding intensity of desire', 'how many negative emotions and positive emotions are held respectively', etc. etc.

To put it simply, when ordinary people study spiritual awakening, they can only see a few partial keywords at most, but the prophet can not only see all the keywords clearly, but even the number of the seed that is generated.

In addition, it is not impossible for the Empire and the Firelands to create psykers.

But they just randomly draw cards and cannot be cultivated stably.

No matter how in-depth the research is, it is nothing more than a technological black box.

"Loren is indeed my lucky star."

Ian lowered his eyes and looked towards Miles' house, watching the purple-haired swordsman and the boy experimenting with his suddenly stronger psychic powers in the yard of his home. He watched the children smile and laugh happily.

He also smiled slightly, then turned around and escaped directly into the virtual realm.

"Heart of Terra, inform Adalbert."

He didn't stop and directly called his most capable partner and assistant: "Tell him that I finally figured out the key to stable psychic awakening - our research in this area can finally go further!"

This is indeed good news. When Adebert learned about this, the researcher who was tending his potted radish plant widened his eyes.

But he also understood very well...the following days, for a long time, will be considered 'overtime'.

After all, the person who notified him is the biggest and most evil King Juan in this territory!

…

After confirming that his psychic powers had exceeded past limitations, Miles did not come to the training camp for a while, but stayed at the Psychic Research Institute to cooperate with experiments.

This is a very common thing. Miles is often called to cooperate with experiments. After all, his and Cynthia's undead bodies are both a power and a curse, and his psychic powers are indeed quite strange. Be valued by the lord.

Because it originates from the convergence of power from many souls, Miles' psychic powers can also be enhanced by the power of many souls - according to experiments, if more than thousands of people place their hope on Miles to protect them, and Miles If he does respond to this call, his spiritual power will be strengthened exponentially, and his defense will be stronger and tougher.

So, what if every key area in Xiahui Territory is protected by a psychic like Miles?

Those places will truly be indestructible as long as the people who live in them hope to protect them.

This is related to the future [Sanctuary Knight] plan and [Sanctuary] design, so research on Miles has a high priority.

But this time, after Miles' psychic powers broke through the limits, something even more wonderful happened to the psyker.

First, for the first time, his power can escape from his body and protect others further away.

Secondly, his protective power can be converted into a huge thrust to push the enemy away.

Finally, when Miles explodes with all his strength, his psychic power will form a circle of psychic barriers centered on his body, preventing all attacks from the outside from reaching the inside, and also preventing all attacks from internal enemies from reaching the outside.

These abilities were all derived from his initial ability to protect others and forcefully absorb attacks into himself... But as he gradually grew, this initial ability developed a new ability based on the original framework, that is, 'far away' Distance use, 'offensive use' and 'ability sublimation'.

Ian calls this kind of spiritual transformation "psionic sublimation". Each psyker will make his spiritual power further after holding his own spiritual power for a period of time.

The same is true for him himself. The precognitive vision has been sublimated again and again from the initial observation of fog to good and bad luck, to the later retrospective vision, and even to the observation of more and more distant things.

But this time, Miles' sublimation was something that had never happened before on the Spiritual Disaster Road - he once again had friends, found the meaning of life in Xiahui Territory, and regarded this land as his second home. Things may be that important to Miles.

Ian is certainly happy to see this happen.

As Ian's future candidate for the Chongling Sect's first [Sanctuary Knight], he must also hope that the Sanctuary Knight is not just a profession that can only place shields.

Now, Miles has gained a control skill and a skill that can isolate the battlefield on a large scale, which meets his needs of 'pushing danger away' and 'isolating danger'. This creates a path for the future 'Artificial Asylum Knight'. A clear path to advancement.

During Miles' time in the laboratory, Ian was mainly trying to replicate the 'psionic model' in his soul.

Psionic energy and sephiroth are the two sides of the ether, originating from the mind and matter respectively. Most of the things that can be done with spiritual energy can also be done with sefirah.

Inscriptions are gifts given by the Star God to all living beings, and are used to simply control various natural phenomena, including psychic powers.

Powerful psykers and inscription craftsmen can convert their own psionic models into inscription structures to create 'psionic trinkets', which are also the source of all psionic trinkets on Terra.

What Ian did was actually convert other people's psychic energy into inscription structures to create a psychic array.

This is not difficult for him - other psykers can only observe the psychic structure in their own souls at most, and cannot remember everything after seeing it, but Ian can not only see other people's, but also can Remember them all with silver chips.

This is where he excels other prophets.

soon.

More than a month later, February 28, Terra 775.

Ian successfully reproduced the psychic model in Miles' body and created the [Sanctuary Inscription Array].

Because it is not complete, the defensive power of the shielding array is not very strong at present. With the energy supply of a standard alchemy furnace, it can only support a simple shield with a radius of five meters, and the defensive power of the shield cannot stop alchemical firearms. Not to mention the alchemical artillery, it can only resist the flow of arrows at most.

But being able to research it means success. Breakthrough progress and optimization are two different tasks. The former must be done by Ian himself, and the follow-up... Ian believes in the wisdom of others!

Anyway, on the road to spiritual disaster, he would have to develop a stable psychic inheritance in 778. At present, he has completed the first step in 775. The next step is just to find qualified people to try to recreate Miles. It's nothing more than his awakening. There is a high probability that it will be done before Feiyandi's offensive arrives.

As a result, his progress has been accelerated by another three years, which can be said to be the ultimate acceleration.

…

During the recent period, Xiahui led the Chongling Sect and launched a rather sudden 'psychological medical' service in the territory and among the mountain people.

The main target of medical treatment this time is 'regret'.

In this world, there are many things that cannot come true, and there are many regrets... It is a pity not being able to fulfill your dreams and not being able to protect the people you want to protect.

Because of the food disaster and the rebellion in Feiyandi, many people in Nanling lost their relatives and their loved ones.

Many people just rely on hatred for a short time to get through it, or use work to forget it, but the root of the disease is still in their hearts. They are depressed and unhappy, and their hearts are full of pain and powerlessness. If this continues, it will be light to give up on themselves, and there may be serious consequences. A few people suffer from depression and even choose to commit suicide, or they become lunatics who only want to destroy and vent.

Therefore, Chonglingjiao launched a mental health care program for almost all the people.

What appears to be a confession is actually an action to select "qualified candidates for asylum knights", and by the way, it can also enhance the influence of the Chongling Sect.

Although Xiahui Territory does not yet have any giant weapons for those who are qualified, Ian believes that he can create one... Of course, this is not important. What is important is that he found that the asylum knights in his territory are qualified. There are quite a few.

There are too many people who fail to protect their loved ones, and there are also too many people who want to protect the power of something.

In particular, the Xiahui collar today is so peaceful and happy - all those who have experienced suffering and war, and have been hurt, are extremely eager to protect their current lives.

Facing this turbulent world, what people want most is to protect everything they already have.

Just as Miles thought when he was spiritually sublimated - in addition to protecting Loren, he also wanted to protect 'the happy life now. ’

It can be said that 70% of individuals with psychic talents in Xiahui Territory have the potential to become patron knights.

The other 30% are not ineligible, but more inclined to the other extreme.

'revenge'.

Rather than protecting what they already have, they are more inclined to destroy the one who caused them harm.

Compared to protecting and building the current Xia Hui Territory, they want to crush the Feiyan Land to ashes and nip all enemies in the bud.

Shelter and revenge are indeed instincts in the human heart, and Ian can finally understand why he, who was suffering from a spiritual disaster, would choose these two tendencies as the basis for his spiritual inheritance.

Moreover, it is different from the progress of the Asylum Knight relying on 'Miles'.

The spiritual powers related to the Messenger of Vengeance can be found in the various spiritual abilities of the Dead Lord - there are too many of them. Most of the abilities of the Dead Lord are basically driven by the anger and unwillingness of the dead souls.

In other words, the Envoy of Vengeance is the ‘dead king’ who uses his own power to promote related abilities.

No, he has no subjects, so he cannot be regarded as a 'king', he can only be regarded as the messenger of his own desire for revenge.

If there hadn't been another accident, Ian would definitely have chosen the 'Revenge Messenger' as the development direction of the Chongling Sect's next 'psionic inheritance'.

After all, everything is ready-made. Although it may be recognized by interested people as a simplified personal version of Dead King, it is really easy to use.

But if there is a better choice that can be put on the table... Of course Ian will not use this kind of inheritance that may be implemented by people, at least not on the surface, but as any church will have it, The inheritance of 'lurking in the dark'.

And this accident also originated from Loren.

On March 12, Loren's grandmother passed away.

Almost as expected, the old lady's malnutrition and overwork in the later stages of her life were fatal. Coupled with the high fever at the end, even with the best medical care from Xiahui Ling, it could only prolong her life for a while.

But this period of time is the difference between having a soul and not.

"This world is very cruel."

In front of the medical ward in Xiahui's underground laboratory, Ian walked slowly to Loren, who was silently weeping, and then sat next to the boy: "Death is death, it is difficult to reverse, and it is difficult to overcome. If there is no soul, death is ending."

"but……"

Ian patted Loren's shoulder, and the boy slowly raised his head, looking towards the ward in front of him with tear-filled eyes.

There, the old man's breathing had stopped.

But a crystal version of the headband surrounded the old man's head, slowly flashing like a progress bar.

After the crystal was fully charged, a wave of psychic energy lit up, and Ian slowly said: "I will give souls to everyone."

"Give them life after death, another life."

A projection screen appeared next to Ian, where she could vaguely see the soul of an old man gradually regaining consciousness. She looked around with some confusion, and then saw the corridor of the ward through the screen, her eyes wide open, and she was standing there. He looked at his grandson with a face of sadness mixed with surprise.

【Loren...】

She subconsciously wanted to step forward and hug him, but after taking a few steps, she realized that she was on a pure white plain that looked like heaven, with a silver sun shining on the blood-red sky.

"Let's talk." Ian stood up and gave them the time to communicate: "Your grandma's soul is still very weak, and she needs to sleep for a while to stabilize her soul structure. Don't let the old man stay up for too long."

"I understand, my lord."

After Loren expressed his gratitude with great gratitude, he was finally able to meet his relatives again.

Although there is a distance between life and death.

Standing in the hall of the laboratory, Ian was quite emotional.

Loren's appearance and awakened spiritual power were all due to his decision to return to Nanling with food and instructions to provide free medical care and food to all those in need.

And his subsequent construction of Chongling Sect is also a very important part.

Ian gave all the help he could to everyone at Southridge, Loren being one of them.

And he also brought Ian a key to the artificial psyker plan, which also allowed Miles's psychic powers to be sublimated.

The so-called hidden gem in the ocean, perhaps this is the case. Ian thought of the vocabulary of his previous life. He believed that there was no shortage of geniuses on the continent of Terra. After all, it was a race that had been genetically sublimated once. There were no stupid people in this world.

As long as everyone is given corresponding education, then the Terran people will definitely be able to absorb and accept them all.

But even with Terra like this, Loren is a genius among them. He did not appear in several other paths. There is only one possibility, that is, he died before he could use his intelligence. He died of famine, corruption, or even starved to death alive. Everything is possible. .

Just as Da Zongjiang said back then, he believed that he was not the only epoch-making genius in the world, but he was the only one who was born in a city of knowledge and whose potential was discovered from an early age.

This is the creed that Ian has always adhered to, the so-called win-win.

As long as you give most people more opportunities and choices, other people and the world will give you more feedback.

Ten minutes later, Loren ended the communication.

What can you say in ten minutes? Express your thoughts and describe your experiences in the past year? Tell grandma that you have learned a lot and don’t need to worry about her?

Although there is a lot I want to say, in ten minutes, I can only get started.

But the old man already knew that his little baby had grown up and there was no need for her to worry or worry about it.

Therefore, it was the old man who took the initiative to end this communication.

because……

There's still next time.

Next time.

Because death is not the end, there is no need to be anxious, but to be patient and wait.

Loren was not old enough to learn to wait, but he understood that this was enough, and it was also for the good of his grandma.

"Loren."

Lowering his eyes, Ian said calmly: "In about one or two years, your grandma's soul will be stable enough to call again. But if she wants to have a longer and more stable existence, she must start practicing meditation. ."

"Xia Hui Ling's teachers are mainly inclined towards living people. Although Wraith has its advantages in learning meditation, it still needs someone to teach it. I don't have that much time to communicate one-on-one, so if you want to teach your grandma If so, you have to study hard yourself.”

"I understand, my lord."

Taking a deep breath, Loren held back tears and said slowly: "This is a second chance, and I will never let it down."

"Um."

Looking at the boy in front of him who had once again made up his mind because of his family, Ian asked calmly: "So, do you have a desire or an idea now?"

"Loren, I realize now that this is the time when your spiritual power should really awaken."

"I……"

Loren thought about it for a while, and then whispered the answer: "I still think that the choice you made for me is absolutely the right one, and it is a better choice for everyone."

This is the cornerstone of psychic formation. Ian understood very well that Loren awakened the spiritual power of faith precisely because he believed that he, the lord and prophet, was absolutely correct.

However, even if you believe in a person wholeheartedly, he will have his own opinions.

So Ian asked: "I want to know your choice."

"I want... psionic powers that can help others. Psychic powers that can better help you, Lord Lord."

Loren said softly: "Help patients like my grandma who are seriously ill but cannot be revived until their bodies die."

"Loren." Ian said. The white-haired prophet was very serious at the moment: "Do you mean you want to cure the disease, or do you want to restore the patient's condition to the point where he can speak?"

"It can't be cured, right?" Loren was a little confused. He was very smart, so because he was smart, he couldn't deceive himself into imagining things that he couldn't do.

This is a mistake that only smart people would make, but after Ian's questioning, Loren vaguely figured out what she really wanted: "I want to restore grandma's vitality, even if it's just temporary. I want her to be able to Hug me again!”

"This is a very selfish wish. Can it really come true?" The boy was a little uneasy.

"If this is selfish, then there is no unselfish psychic power on Terra."

Ian's eyes lit up with a silver-blue light at this moment. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Loren's head. He solemnly said: "Now, continue to tell your wish."

"What you want to achieve from the bottom of your heart, the emotion that stirs the most in your heart."

"Don't care if reality is unrealistic or not. Just think about it, even if it's delusional, it's better than not daring to think!"

"I, I want..."

After being encouraged, the thin boy clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "I want to cure everyone! Whether it's grandma or other people who are being cared for in the ward like grandma!"

"Whether it's me or everyone I know, I don't want them to die!"

"I want to protect everything that Xia Hui leads, everything that makes me happy - everything!"

"That's it!"

Taking advantage of Loren's spiritual agitation to the extreme, Ian used his own power to force Loren's spiritual energy to access the 'Great Ether Circulation' and penetrate the deepest part of this mighty river!

——Healing, temporarily giving vitality, healing everyone, protecting everything you love——

These 'deepest desires in the soul' have turned into key words, guiding the response of the great ether flow.

Then, the next moment...

Originating from the deepest place behind time and space, the infinite power selects the power that best meets Loren's standards and desires from endless examples.

It was an extremely complex psychic model that exuded pale golden brilliance - it came from the depths of the ether and headed towards the deep imprint of Loren's soul.

Then, became part of boy power.

Ian guided and witnessed it all.

He saw with his own eyes that the great ether was flowing back to the pure and determined desire of intelligent life. He saw the pale golden spiritual energy pouring into the depths of Loren's soul. He scanned every detail of the spiritual energy model, so he knew the incredible power of this power. and powerful!

——Experiment successful! Through my guidance and determining the details of key words, people can indeed awaken spiritual energy that is more powerful than their own vague desires!

At this moment, Ian was extremely pleasantly surprised. The success of his attempt was one of the reasons, but the bigger reason was Loren's cooperation and the final result!

At this moment, the boy's whole body lit up with a pale golden light.

In the hall, everyone bathed in this light felt a warm feeling, as if they were soaking in warm water. Even the patients in the surrounding wards felt an inexplicable warmth, which had been bothering them for a long time. The pain caused by the disease, the blurred thinking has become much clearer...

This is...the light that heals all things.

It is the rarest 'healing power' in the world that can temporarily restore vitality!

A power that can be called ‘holy light’!
