At the same time, somewhere in Africa, on the outskirts of Cairo, there was a research room on the British Dreadnought-class battleship [Attack on the Palamides].
In a huge glass container, a red and blue tree species lay quietly. That thing was composed of the [Holy Tree Seed] in Bediville and the [Crimson Seed] in the isolation area of the City of the Dead.
The synthesized new tree species has both the power of [Order] and [Chaos]. Because the power of this tree species is too powerful and full of unknown risks, the King of Knights plans to keep it sealed until it is thoroughly studied.
The container has been encrypted several times with various magic runes and sealed with several powerful barriers. It cannot be easily opened from the inside or outside. Unless the warship is attacked with brute force and several of the ship's main and auxiliary officers are
All power furnaces must be destroyed, otherwise no one will be able to steal this rare tree species from this research room.
In front of this solid protective device, King Arthur was standing quietly, looking at the tree species intently, as if he could analyze the structure of the tree species just by looking at it, and dig out all the secrets hidden in it.
.
No. It's not as if. For King Arthur, who has super insight, he can indeed understand a lot of information hidden in the tree species by looking. But that is all intuition - or, in other words, the credit of [True Seeing],
Most of the information Arthur received was mixed and had no actual basis. And information without actual basis often misleads people and makes them make wrong decisions.
For ordinary people, one or two wrong decisions may not be a big deal; but for an important figure like King Arthur, one wrong decision may cause huge sacrifices.
Therefore, Arthur has learned to be cautious over the years. Before getting conclusive evidence, the king generally will not take the assumptions in his mind seriously. He will even ignore these assumptions to avoid being misled by these assumptions from the beginning and let his thinking
Being misled in the wrong direction. He knows very well that "guessing" is a bad habit. The method that can derive the real answer to a question is never "guessing", but relying on reverse reasoning based on the tangible evidence at hand.
The same was true for the strange tree species in front of him. Although Arthur already had hundreds of different hypotheses in his mind, he could only remain silent due to lack of evidence.
During this deep thought, someone patted the King of Knights on the shoulder.
Arthur looked back and saw that it was his prime minister, the great wizard Merlin.
"It's a very magical species, isn't it?" The great mage smiled at Arthur: "It actually compressed an entire forest into a single tree species and preserved it, and it was also infused with the power of light soul (Pseudo-anima)."
"[Light Soul]? Isn't it [Evil Spirit]?" Arthur asked casually. Since it is a wild spirit body, a ball of photon thoughts, then it is either [Holy Spirit] or [Evil Spirit].
This is the first time Arthur has heard the word [Light Soul].
"No, it's just [Light Soul]. To put it simply, it's the spirit body of [Imperfect Body]." Merlin touched the outer wall of the glass container with his hand and explained: "Whether it is [Evil Spirit] formed in nature
], or the [Holy Spirit] created by ancient people, they are all [Complete Body], they are a group of photon life forms that have self-awareness and can store memories. But semi-finished products like [Light Soul] can generally only
To carry [consciousness], memory must be attached to something and cannot migrate with the spirit body."
Merlin looked around again. Although there was no one in the research room, for the sake of caution, the great mage still stretched out his hand and opened the black curtain magic, wrapping himself and King Arthur in it. Within the black curtain was a [Absolutely not allowed]
In this space, all external interference will be blocked, and no one can eavesdrop or watch the conversation between the two.
After he thought he could have a safe conversation, Merlin said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the difference between [the reincarnated] and [the deceased]?"
Arthur was stunned for a moment: "Remember."
Most people in this world are "dead people". Their consciousness and memory are stored in the body. Consciousness is generated by the continuous physical-chemical operations of the brain, and memory is stored in the cerebral cortex in the form of codes. Dead people
After death, everything will return to dust, and consciousness and memory will turn into nothingness. They face the fate that all creatures in the world must face - annihilation.
And [Reincarnator] refers to the type of person who can be reincarnated after death and whose "soul" is transferred to another body. However, the [Reincarnation] process cannot be controlled at will by the reincarnators. It is completely random.
of.
The only all-knowing and all-powerful God in the world, the Seat of Kama (Destiny), will randomly reincarnate the reincarnated person into another time and space, even ignoring the flow of time. A reincarnated person is very likely to be born in this life.
In modern times, the next life will be born in ancient times thousands of years ago; it is also possible that the two previous lives were reincarnated in very close eras. King Arthur has seen several similar reincarnations - for example, a certain
A white tiger.
"Do you know what are the minimum conditions for a [reincarnated person] to become a [reincarnated person]?" Seeing that the King of Knights was still lost in his thoughts, Merlin continued: "That is [a person who can leave the body and transfer to other places]
Soul]------a more accurate name is [Light Soul]."
King Arthur nodded, indicating that he was listening.
"I don't quite understand the principle," Merlin continued: "But some people in this world have [Light Soul], and some do not. Only those with [Light Soul] can extract their consciousness when the body dies.
Use [Light Soul] as a carrier to transfer to other bodies. However, the transfer of bodies is actually a very complicated process that no one in the world can do. Therefore, this work is usually done by [God]
Finish."
"What about the ancient gods and humans?" Arthur interjected: "Those immortal guys are said to be able to change their bodies, right? Do they have [Light Soul]?"
"No." Merlin shook his head: "The ancient god-human race... at least for the race I stayed with before becoming a light spirit--they used other methods to transfer their bodies.
And they themselves do not have light souls. Even those who originally had them probably lost their original light souls when they changed their bodies countless times. That's why they ushered in [the decline of the soul] ------
Visible things will eventually perish, but intangible things are eternal."
Arthur seemed to have figured something out. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Merlin: "However, there is such an ancient god-man in front of us who successfully got rid of [the decay of the soul] and evolved himself into a [light spirit], right?"
That is the ultimate goal of the plan your wife studied back then, to turn the endangered ancient gods and men into creatures with eternal life."
"You are absolutely right, Your Majesty." The Great Mage nodded sincerely: "In that ancient time and space, the [Pandora Project] that my wife Pandora worked on was to recreate the [Light Soul] in the ancient human body.
project. Although there were many mistakes in the project, and even the dark particles were released from the deepest part of the dark universe to cause harm to the world, the final result of this project was successful---it created my name [Light Spirit]
.Our time and space was destroyed by the dark child, and I am the only one who became [eternal]. It seems that my people's wishful thinking did not work, and I am the only one who benefited, right?"
Arthur held his chin: "That's weird."
He looked at the tree species: "If I remember correctly, the light soul in this tree species was extracted from a certain time and space by ancient people. The ancient people clearly had the technology to extract spiritual bodies from other time and space.
....＂
"But that is someone else's spirit body. Someone else's consciousness, someone else's memory, is of no help to the race of gods and humans in their pursuit of eternal life. What the ancients wanted was a [light soul] born from their own body that could transplant their own will."
]. To this end, they are constantly researching and extracting spiritual bodies from other time and space to see how these spiritual bodies are born, which is also part of their research."
Merlin looked at the tree species in the glass container intently: "This guy is the same. From your reports, it seems that it should have been the memory of a certain big tree in a certain era. Not only animals, but also plants
[Light Soul] can also be born. The ancients must have been very interested in it. However, the research on it has stalled. The ancients have been unable to find out the secret of the birth of the Light Soul. In the end, they had to give up and inject this thing into
This tree species is used as a biochemical weapon. This is the same as the various evil spirits and holy spirits created by ancient people. They are all half-empty research."
"However, they have been of great help." The King of Knights sneered, and turned his attention to the tree species, and said an unintentional admiration: "Are these biochemical weapons developed by ancient people? There are a lot of animal materials that are not used, but plants are used. Ancient people
The idea is really hard to understand."
"Oh, it's not that difficult to understand." Merlin smiled mysteriously: "The biggest advantage of using plants as biochemical weapons is that they will not be infected by dark particles."
King Arthur stared: "They can't?!"
"No. Unless there are special circumstances, when has Your Majesty ever seen Anzi actively infecting plants?"
King Arthur frowned, feeling extremely confused. Then he suddenly recalled the scenery of Elison's Pure Land.
Seven years ago, when Arthur and his party explored the pure land of Elison of the elves, they saw a scene there that seemed very ordinary at first glance, but very strange when you think about it carefully.
In the Pure Land of Elisen - or in other words, the planet Elisen, even though dark particles are raging throughout the planet and are out of control, the natural environment there is still very beautiful.
The flowers, plants and trees there are still as green as ever, blooming quietly but vigorously in an uninhabited wilderness. Apart from being sparsely populated, the environment there is so peaceful and beautiful that those who don’t know can’t tell that this piece of pure land is there.
The huge [darkness] hidden in it!
------Anzi has indeed never infected plants in Elison's Pure Land!
