Chapter 19: The Rebellion of the Religions
The Crystal Tree is not a purely earth-science product as Reed thought, it is closer to an arcane creation, and if it is given a definition, it should be a ghostly activator.
The 'Activated Item' upgraded from the 'Morphed Item' draws heavily on the arcane achievements of the Torri world, and uses the spirit energy of Spectral Energy to create an animated golem. In addition to the use of arcane in the manufacturing process, the Crystal Tree is a species designed and run entirely by science, a synthesis of life, golems, technological products, and artificial intelligence.
The Pym particle solves the problem of deformation, while Skynet's artificial intelligence technology deciphers the thinking intelligence, and finally the Arcane gives the inorganic object a 'false life' and the divinity gives the living object a 'real life', and finally creates this unique species.
Reed couldn't help but reach out and touch the life that was born from his hands, and then withdrew his right hand in a flash of lightning, shocked: "It is wise!" As he touched the crystal tree, a feeling of joy and closeness reached his heart, and Reed was as frightened as if he had been electrocuted.
"Of course! Why else did I create it? Chen Ang came to the front of the crystal tree, let it curl up the leaves close to his body, the light blue ghost energy flowed down from the leaves of the crystal tree, as Chen Ang's hand brushed the treetops, a crystal flower quietly bloomed, and then quickly withered and withered.
Reed felt a powerful and familiar, but extremely hidden energy fluctuation radiating from the crystal tree, if it weren't for his participation in the creation process of the crystal tree, and he was familiar with the energy radiation of the ghost energy crystal, he would never have discovered this energy.
Countless chaotic thoughts filled Reed's head, and it was as if he heard the whispers of Si Si Suo, as vague and noisy as a hallucination. A myriad of voices seemed to be speaking something, but as Reed listened closely, it became indistinct, and Reed struggled to block out the sounds, only to feel his own spirit grow more and more agitated, almost driving him insane.
"What's in my head?" Reed's face flushed. The more he resisted the voice in his head, the more powerful the torture and confusion became. He doesn't know what he's created!
"Calm down and don't resist it!" Chen Ang came to Reed's side, making the voice a little quieter, "Ghost energy is a spiritual power, you can only use your mind to subdue them, the stronger your spirit, the tougher your heart, the more docile it is." Under your control, but if you go after them, try to resist and forcibly control them, it will only backfire. If you keep going like this, you're going to go crazy......"
"I don't care if you're a madman, maybe madness will make you more scientifically inspired. If you're really crazy, I don't mind having a crazy researcher and new experimental material under my staff. ”
Chen Ang calmed down the ghostly energy activity around Reed, giving Reed time to catch his breath. "Free your mind to feel and understand it. Dissect your heart, meditate, and empty your spirit. ”
"Doctor, what are you doing? What exactly does the Ghost Crystal Tree do? Dr. Doom: I remember you telling me that this experiment was about the deformation of matter and the anisotropy of energy, and you warned me. The danger of the ghost, but you're letting me control it now! Reid looked up, his face looking much better.
Chen Ang nodded and said, "Your experiment is part of the whole research, you are deforming and denatured matter. The metamorphosis research has made the overall research progress more than expected, and it can be said that you have saved me a third of my time. So you are qualified to participate in the next research - the study of spiritual power and the potential of the human spirit. ”
"Psychic powers?" Reed wasn't too surprised, he wanted to know the secret behind this, wasn't he lurking here to get more information and intelligence on the experiment and prevent possible disasters in the future?
"Yes, spectral energy is an energy that is closely related to the spirit, and a civilization based on spectral energy, mixing philosophy and religion with it, makes this energy a belief and a civilization. Although I have mastered this power, most of the data is the physical interference of energy, and there is not enough research on the mind and spiritual space. ”
"Skynet has an inherent disadvantage in this kind of research. To better explore the ghost, you need to be more emotional. That's why I need humans, I'm curious about humans, the full name of the Spectral Crystal Tree is the Psychic Beacon Tower, which is able to create Psychic Radiation that is close to the physiological needs of humans, and to reach out to your spiritual world with dreams, whispers, illusions, and inspiration. ”
"This Psychic Beacon Tower can affect the entire world?" Reid pondered, and he asked rhetorically, "What are the consequences?" ”
"Most human beings are not qualified to accept this power, their minds are exhausted, their spirits are impetuous, and they will think that it is a strange dream, or auditory hallucination, hallucination, and only one in ten thousand people in the world can clearly touch it, and even fewer can control it. Generally speaking, only mentally tough, strong people are able to influence. ”
Reid instinctively felt uneasy, and asked, "You didn't mention what the consequences would be!" ”
"There are no consequences...... Chen Ang paused and added, "Maybe!" ”
"What do you mean maybe?" Reed suppressed his urge to question and asked.
"The research of ghost energy has been very deep, its biggest harm - spiritual pollution and infection, has been basically perfected, this time the radiation of the ghost energy is the evolution of the ghost energy, and chaos ghost energy, primitive ghost energy, void ghost energy, demon ghost energy, holy light ghost energy, insect hive ghost energy and other dangers are different, it is safe for human beings, but ......"
Chen Ang made a subtle twist that lifted Reed's heart.
"But energy is not dangerous, humans themselves are dangerous. The capacity of the human race is poor! Chen Ang emphasized.
"What?" Reed felt a rare sense of confusion.
"Capacity-Adaptability, humanity as a race, has great adaptability, but as a civilization its adaptability is too poor, the order you maintain is fragile and bloated, and the slightest movement will produce great chaos. The sheer size of the population and the fragility of the civilization have affected the whole situation. ”
"What kind of person do you think has the strong will to conquer the heart? What kind of person is sensitive and strong-willed, but fragile in heart? What kind of person, fanatical and spiritually strong, but with a chaotic mind? Chen Ang asked.
"A saint has a strong will to conquer the heart, and a warrior is strong-willed but fragile in heart...... Is that so? Reed racked his brains for a few moments, and wondered.
"Ghost energy is a religious civilization in the universe. That is to say, people with faith have the most special mental state, strong and fragile coexist, and they are the most likely to feel ghostly energy. ”
"More than half of the people on this planet have faith, and luckily most of them do not have a strong faith to keep your society from collapsing. But among these believers and believers, the vast majority of them are infected with ghost energy. And the most religious, the most fanatical, the most holy ones. ”
"The Holy One has a strong will to conquer the mind; The pious are sensitive and strong-willed, but fragile in heart; Zealots are fanatical in their wills and strong in spirit, but their hearts are in turmoil! The former is the Archon, the latter the Templar, and finally the Zealot......"
Growing up in a Christian environment, Reed's sense of religion was not bad, "Those who have faith are empowered and safer than those who are greedy and greedy!" ”
"Really?" Chen Ang asked rhetorically with a sneer.
"This power comes from their hearts, it is controlled in their own hands, and everything they do, they will obey their hearts, and the morals, laws, and deep-rooted ideas of this world will be subjected to a powerful impact of faith, and it will soon be discovered that the more religious they are, the greater the power. Let's see, are people of faith more likely to get lost? ”
Chen Ang looked at this crystal tree that was about to change the world with great interest.
Reed felt the powerful uneasiness in his heart, he pondered Chen Ang's words carefully, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Shinrikyo! ”
"Will the extreme Truthists gain strength?" Reid hurriedly asked.
"Of course, ghosts don't discriminate. Fanaticism is also a spiritual force! And you think there are only extreme truthists? This is a false proposition, people who can feel the ghostly power, either they have a high spiritual realm and have awakened their own minds, or they are pious and fanatical, hypnotized, and entrusted their spirits. ”
"So, they're the same. The so-called moderate truth-seekers, it's just that the time is not ripe enough, and now the time is ripe! The people who believe in the scriptures the most, who believe that they are pious, are about to receive a 'revelation', and I believe that the world will become a more interesting place! ”
"Holy war is coming!" (To be continued......)
