This is a typical method of scientific research in the past life, and in Gu Tiancheng's view, it is a very simple truth, so simple that there is no need to prove its correctness. But in the Shining Continent, these ideas are heretical, and few people can understand them.

This is the difference between a magical civilization and an industrial civilization. Whatever a magical civilization does, it must be theoretically first understood, and then put into practice. As for how the basic theories they relied on came about, it was not at all the scope of their thinking. If you have to break the casserole and ask to the end, they will say that it is a matter of the gods, and mortals just need to know how to use it. Don't dwell on the theoretical issues.

Industrial civilization is just the opposite, it has always been practiced first, and then the laws are summarized and analyzed from practice, so as to form a theory, and then further guide practice on the basis of theory.

Therefore, summarizing the laws and theories from practice is Gu Tiancheng's very unique thought, and Gu Tiancheng can't even communicate with Sima Xin and Gavin Muqi in this regard.

But fortunately, with Kerry here, Kerry can understand and complete Gu Tiancheng's ideas very efficiently and accurately.

Now, Kai Rui has had the initial results: those spiritual cultivation holy places are very harsh for human beings, and even demonic beasts are difficult to approach.

Under Kerry's research, countless possibilities can be derived, and what Kerry has to do is to verify them one by one, so as to narrow down the scope of the study.

Originally, this was a job where a dog gnawed and had nowhere to go, but Kerry was able to find a needle in a haystack and eliminate them one by one from the many possibilities, so as to lock in several of the most likely situations.

Gu Tiancheng read Kai Rui's conclusions, and one of them touched Gu Tiancheng a lot: the existence of human beings, demonic beasts and various plants all need to consume spiritual power, and those places are too desolate for the survival of animals and plants, so they naturally have the conditions to reserve spiritual power.

Of course, this will not solve the problem of the source of spiritual power. But Carey came up with a bold idea based on the theory of causal reincarnation in his previous life.

The source of spiritual power should come from the ecosystem cycle process of the Shining Spirit Continent itself. Whether animals or plants, there is a cycle of life and death. When plants and animals die, they quickly decompose naturally.

It is in this process of decomposition that spiritual power is generated. There are many places in the Shining Continent that are not suitable for the survival of animals and plants, but only a small part of them are spiritual cultivation holy places.

Based on the comparative study of different geographical conditions, Kerry found that only places that can communicate and connect with the deeper underground can form spiritual holy places.

Correspondingly, the formation of the Lingyuan Stone also has a new explanation. A certain geographical location can form a large amount of spiritual power, but there is a lack of channels for spiritual power to be released, and a large amount of spiritual power is accumulated in a certain place, and over time, it combines with the surrounding rocks to form a spiritual yuan stone.

Similar to the formation of oil in the previous life, although human beings began to use oil on a large scale very early and established a brilliant industrial civilization on the basis of oil, it was not until much later that the source of oil was clarified, so that artificial oil was researched and the problem of non-renewable oil was completely solved.

Although this series of research done by Carey failed to finally solve the problem of the source of spiritual power, it put forward a general theoretical framework. As long as you continue to study within this theoretical framework, you will eventually be able to touch the ultimate source of spiritual power.

The reason is not complicated, because all other hypotheses have evidence to falsify, and only this hypothesis can explain all the facts or phenomena. Weichang

Because it is the self-contained cycle of the Shining Continent that generates spiritual power, even a god of the emperor rank or even a higher rank cannot take the spiritual power of the entire Shining Continent as his own. For those gods, it was their business to seize the Spirit Yuan Stone that had been formed over the years.

Once the Spirit Yuan Stone resources are exhausted, those gods will abandon the Shining Spirit Continent and find another place.

It can't be said that those gods are too cold-blooded, for those gods, the whole world is actually only themselves, and everything else is a resource they use for spiritual cultivation.

Moreover, when they came to the Shining Continent, it would also be good for the Shining Continent. At the very least, they left behind a spiritual legacy that continues to this day. Although this spiritual cultivation is likely to be emasculated by the later imperial ranks.

Compared to those gods who ate meat, the later emperors chose to drink soup. After all, the better Spirit Yuan Stone had already been snatched up by those gods, and there wasn't much left for them at all. If the Emperor Rank wants to maintain his cultivation and climb up further, he must find another source of abundant and stable spiritual power.

Under the domination of this kind of pressure, it is very likely that those imperial ranks will eventually study the ultimate source of spiritual power, otherwise they would not have developed such a divine skill as faith conversion.

Faith conversion is actually another kind of man-made spiritual power, which is inexhaustible.

Now, what Gu Tiancheng has to do is to repeat the path that the imperial rank has taken, only by understanding the source of spiritual power, it is possible to figure out the secret of the belief of the imperial rank, so as to completely unlock the secret of the spiritual source.

Gu Tiancheng believes that as long as this problem is solved, the Shining Continent will no longer be the Shining Continent with deep water in front of him, but it will be transparent at a glance, and nothing can hide from his sharp eyes.

At that time, at least strategically, Gu Tiancheng will be the first person in the Shining Spirit Continent! Gu Tiancheng can choose to create his own faith and draw money from the bottom of the ruling foundation of the psychic god, or he can sneak in and use the power of faith to establish a closed sect and become the existence at the top of the human spiritual cultivation world.

In the absence of sufficient practice, proposing a hypothesis and then verifying it through practice is also one of the common methods used in scientific research in previous lives. On the issue of the source of spiritual power, there is no way to conduct such research and temptation.

Although there has been no substantial breakthrough in the issue of the source of spiritual power, the research on the source of spiritual power has gone smoothly. After all, Gu Tiancheng had studied and practiced the complete Allen Exercises, and for Kai Rui, hearing and knowing ten was his basic ability.

Through the study and understanding of Allen's exercises, it is much easier to study the composition and logical principles of the spiritual source. Gu Tiancheng quickly studied and sorted out the part of the exercises within the spiritual source.

Outside of this part, in Gu Tiancheng's view, of course, it is the part about the conversion of faith. Although he quickly locked on to the target, Kerry did not understand the logical structure and principle in it, after all, he was a layman, and even Kerry's ability was helpless against it.

This cannot be tested on a real person. Completely discard that part and let people cultivate, and see how the cultivation results and speed are compared to ordinary spiritual sources. This is too risky, and Gu Tiancheng doesn't want to hurt people.

However, it is still possible to do a limited number of experiments, such as sealing that part of the spiritual source. With Gu Tiancheng's existing strength, it can be done easily.
