Hearing this series of amazing news, Miao Pu stopped what he was doing, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Survive, fight, and grow...... All kinds of things after my source, except for survival, are all for the service of my own ideas, when the ideas are not there, the meaning of these things will be greatly reduced, if I really want to be myself, these things in front of me should be put aside, and I will think about the things that should be thought about before talking about other things. But the earth is not revolving for me alone, and the current situation, if I suddenly give up, it will be too crazy. ”

Azaram half-jokingly said, "Crazy, you say? You used to go other people's way, leaving others with no way out...... That's madness, right? As far as I know, for the purpose of realization, there were a total of 8 people who were similar to you at the beginning, and half of them died directly in the initial stage, that is, when the Huangcheng Yuanhua occurred, and the other 3 also died one after another, only you have survived to the present and repeatedly created zào miracles. ”

Miao Pu said: "Haha, since I have talked about this, I can imagine those things, like this kind of real yàn project or something, there should be a lot of similarities with commercial operations, maximize benefits, how can you arrange a pilot?" He changed the subject and said, "But there's one question I still can't figure out, how do they play with the soul?" For example, it is just a matter of deceiving the memories of many real bodies and fooling ordinary people, and the techniques similar to hypnosis in the source technology are also rich, but the soul strength has reached the level of mine, and if you want to do it without a trace, I am afraid that the masters of the source civilization may not be able to do it, right? ”

"That's why I started from the source, you also know the creation of the white slave (blue-blooded), and in terms of principle, the method used by the [Aragami Clan] is not much different from it."

"You mean the Soul Orb?"

"Just do as you say, Soul Orb. In our cognition, the soul has three parts, the consciousness part, the memory part, and the energy that carries both, the manufacturing principle of the soul bead is to first obtain the energy to bear, and then inject it into the memory part, and the consciousness part is completed by itself, and in the process of completion, the memory part plays an important guiding role, and the external force can also be appropriately added to part of the content, but it is very limited. That is, memory determines consciousness. But in the specific operation process, it is difficult to achieve perfection. This is because the research results we have achieved in the soul are far inferior to the first, simply put, the level of operation is not enough. As a [Demon God Series], your peculiarity lies in the fact that you did not choose an excellent clone prototype according to the established regulations, but mixed with obvious emotional factors, using Miao Pu, who died early, as the prototype. In addition, the series lasted for a long time, and the technology used was not small from the others, at first because the prototype was imperfect and had to solve the problem, and then it simply went off the rails and had its own set of special sets. There is also the use of [source], which naturally refers to one of the two most precious types of existence in the inheritance hall. [Source] has always been the goal of [Aragami Clan], and the purest source energy in the beginning, whether it is used as a battery or something else, has an irreplaceable effect. Miao Guoping has always believed that in order to truly integrate the technology of the source civilization with the technology of human beings, it is necessary to achieve it from the source, rather than using those sub-energies and technologies that do not know how many levels and stages have been derived. ”

"I'm really willing to invest, I thought [source] was the amount of a cup, or even less, a drop."

"[Source] is the method of concentrating energy by the master of source energy, which is closest to the energy used to transform the environment and species when the ancient people descended, and as far as I know, it has an almost magical catalytic effect on almost all energy and matter. Although the [Aragami Clan] did not know much about the core technology of the source civilization, they at least succeeded in grasping the most powerful existence. I don't know exactly how they obtained the [Source] and led Destiny 4 to awaken. But it is a fact that they got the Source, at least partially. Other than that, I couldn't find a better reason for them to go along with the project codenamed X. ”

"Is it just an estimate?" Miao Pu was not too happy with the reasons given by Azaram. Without seeing it in person, because it can't be explained by normal logic, it is a bit irresponsible to link the birth of him and the entire X series clone with the [source].

"Of course, it's not just an estimate. In your opinion, my active acquisition of clones in various series is just to cultivate a group of high-end combat power? ”

"Isn't it?" Miao Pu asked rhetorically: "When it comes to the essence of the event, this is a competition, and it is not a competition that can be participated in by relying on personal strength, so it is not the main purpose to make yourself strong and have a large number of high-end combat power?" ”

Azaram patiently explained: "Theoretically, of course, what you said is true, but it is far from comprehensive, just one point, the investment in cultivating these clones into talents, it is a huge investment beyond your imagination, from the perspective of power management and operation, cultivating them can never be regarded as a cost-effective investment." ”

"It's a problem, but I think it should be counted as a necessary input to make that wish come true. Cheap and high-quality or cost-effective combat power, I'm afraid it can't be sent in a short period of time. Then the clone is very valuable as a semi-finished product that has been cultivated for a period of time, and the investment is certainly a little larger, but it is an inevitable sacrifice for cultivating high-end combat power. If you start from scratch, I believe that the proportion of investment will be even more exaggerated, and there is even no way to quickly achieve high-end combat power. ”

"Well, just make sense of what you're saying." Azaram is clearly reluctant to argue too much with Miao Pu on this issue, because he is not willing to divulge too many of his secrets at this time. For example, high-end materials and energy are close to zero inventory, and there is no stable source of dìng, etc. After all, the two sides have not yet signed the real source oath contract, and he has to guard against Miao Pu ruining his promise.

Azaram pointed to the point he wanted to express: "For me, the high-end knowledge and objects of the source civilization also need to be studied and studied to master. The characteristics of the source, the function of the source...... These are all topics, and these topics are related to the foundation and foundation of the carrier of the entire civilization system, so I care more about this than fighting for materials and territory. ”

Miao Pu nodded and said, "In essence, it is also a competition, but you can recognize which one is the most valuable better than us." The energy and matter of the entire underground ruins are just derivatives derived from the [Source], and the [Source] is naturally the most valuable one, and understanding its characteristics and learning how to use it, and even how to make it, is also the most valuable choice. It's a pity that the [Source] was squandered in the struggle between [Aragami Clan] and Destiny 4, so you can only collect the derivative closest to [Source] through guò to reverse and restore. And fighting, fighting, all serve this purpose. Strengthening and giving birth to high-end combat power is also for the purpose of competition and combat, and high-end combat power itself is a research sample...... It's a complex relationship that involves each other, and maintaining as much balance as possible in it is what you have been doing. ”

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with that." Azaraam must admit that Miao Pu's summary is correct, although he looks at the same series of events from a different angle.

"So what does this have to do with your determination that I'm part of the Clone X project, not Miao Pu himself?"

"Connections generated by research." Azaram explained: "The research didn't go well until we got some of your blood, and it finally turned around. ”

Of course, Miao Pu remembered that a month ago, at the collection station where the blue-bloods collected qi energy in the subway tunnel area, he was attacked by the high-end combat power lurking in the base and was injured a little, and the other party obtained some of his blood because of this. This incident once increased his psychological pressure. At that time, he lacked sufficient understanding of both the [Yuan Ling] line and the [Guardian] line. Just seeing that the enemies of these two factions have high-end combat power to support the field, clones, elite monsters and other things running all over the ground, of course, he is weak in his heart, worried that after his blood is obtained by the other party, it will not take a few days for fake Miao Pu to haunt everywhere. In retrospect, this is clearly an overestimation of the opponent's ability to monetize the technology.

"You found that I was very similar to other X-series clones, so you decided that I was one of them?"

Azaram shook his head, "No, on the contrary, your problem is that you are too different from them, not too much of a similarity. ”

"Oh? The huge gap has become the main reason why you are sure that I am a clone, why? ”

"Because even the real Miao Pu can't be so different from its clone, and the only possibility of causing this difference is the direct use of [Source]. You know, your prototype, that is, the real Miao Pu, is not a [reactant], can you understand the [reactant]? ”

"A person who can be activated in the process of source transformation and become an Awakened One?"

"Well, pretty much, there's nothing wrong with that understanding. The prototype is not a reactant, and his clone should not be. However, Miao Guoping has invested too much in this set, and he can't sit idly by and watch you become an uninhabitable deviant, that is, the various adaptations on the surface that you call monsters have failed. In fact, if you don't do something, you and the rest of the Miao Pu clones will end up as aberrants, because the prototype will be repeatedly polluted by all kinds of realities. This conclusion was based on my summary of the information collected on the X-series clones. Now I have the clones that have not been activated and have the highest resemblance to the prototype, and I can pack them for you if you are interested. ”

Turning the subject back, Azalam continued: "Since it is not a reactant, there must be an internal opportunity to cooperate with the external erosion in order to complete adaptive evolution. In this way, [Yuan] became the finishing touch, and Miao Guoping seemed unwilling to waste the magical effect of [Yuan], or he had some kind of purpose, so with the help of the fault tolerance and moldability provided by this high-end activation method, different details were adjusted. Your tuning traits are [Abyssal Mori], Wolf, and Plant attributes, and the closest [Abysper], Bear, and Earth abilities to yours happen to be his corpse, and his internal changes are not as good as yours, and it gives me the feeling that the elements are not fully civilized. And it's this halftone that connects you to the unactivated X-line clone, and if that clone is in the middle stage of anomalous evolution, then you are in the late stage. I relied on the commonalities between you to determine your identity. This commonality, understood in your words, can be simply called - magical. I have never seen anything like this in anyone other than you, including the time and world in which I once lived. ”

"Do you mean to say that all the miracles that happened to me are actually traceable, and they are the changes brought about by the [Source]?"

That's not entirely true. I mean, if this kind of magic is only in you, then this uniqueness can probably be explained by luck, coincidence, or something. But if something like Cheng dù happens to another you, then this miracle itself is probably a truth that we have not yet grasped. This truth points to a certain inevitability, and we don't understand the process, so the title is magical. ”

"In other words, the lack of uniqueness is the main reason why you think I'm a clone?"

"Your chances are unique, you achieve certain achievements at a given time, and this is also unique, even your abilities, your thoughts, are unique. The only thing is that the other Miao Pu is also good at creating zào miracles, and his abilities are very different from ordinary awakened people. I think it's the [Source] that gives you the possibility of being good at creating zào miracles, and the ability is very different from that of ordinary awakened people, so in terms of the source, you are all activated by the [Source], and the prototype is a clone of Miao Pu, but the direction of life is different from the choice of ability, and the most important of them is that you have successfully come all the way, and the others have basically died halfway. ”

"People always want to see the successful part." Miao Pu said with a slight sigh.

"You can only look at the successful part." Azaram answered, explaining: "In terms of your background and the path you have chosen, you can only have yourself if you succeed, otherwise you will always be just a failed sub-development project in the X series. ”

"Well, I've pretty much taken your word for it when it comes to me being a clone." Miao Pu's expression was slightly heavy, "Believing this, what makes me feel is not only sad, but a kind of panic and confusion about the complete collapse of my life." However, for our current situation, it is a luxury to squander our lives, so let's get through the difficulties in front of us. ”

"I have to admit that your soul is completely worthy of your status as a strong man."

"It's okay. The total amount of the mental activities and the transformations of cognition and temperament that have occurred after the catastrophe is enough to support the basic needs of the personality to exist, and even if it has now been proven that a large part of my memory is false, I will not collapse lightly, but only need to be repaired and filled. I may no longer be the same Miao Pu as I was, but I am still me, a freer and more malleable me. ”

"So will you change your name?"

"Is it necessary to be more real about these formal things?"

"Maybe not for humans, but for source civilizations. For example, the source oath contract can be signed under the real name, which is the name that one's soul recognizes. ”

"Huh? This one does need to be thought about. I'm just trying to keep myself sane right now, and it's too hasty to give my so-called real name until I've completely calmed down and figured something out. ”

"You can say that, and I feel that you are sincere."

Miao Pu smiled and didn't say anything more, the in-depth exchange between the two was over here. For each other, the amount of information is slightly larger, and it needs to be ruminated.

Compared to these far-reaching considerations, the immediate need to get out of the predicament seems much easier to deal with.

After such a long time, several instruments have been assembled. Although the source spar is rare, Miao Pu will not be soft at this time because of its scarcity. He may have the opportunity to take all of these source crystals for himself the next day and enjoy them slowly, but it is more likely that Destiny 4 will be reused for other purposes and transformed into a part of its power. After all, what he was about to face was most likely an escape, not a victorious plunder. Therefore, with the intervention of the [Machine Spirit], the use of the source crystal is extraordinarily extravagant, and the effect is unprecedentedly good, and the energy harvester has collected enough energy for him to use to activate several other instruments and start the manufacture of puppets.

The first thing to be made was the ladybug flying machine, and Miao Pu's preparation and intelligence collection were far higher than the battle itself. If this trend was not so prominent in the past, it has become more and more logical in recent times. Especially after the battle with the capable puppet not long ago, his strength has broken through to a new level, the Yin and Yang Five Elements Consummation, even now, even if the information provided by Azharam makes his emotions fluctuate greatly, the hierarchical improvement brought by the Yin and Yang Five Elements Consummation still continues to affect him. Breakthrough and stability, he is currently secretly completing the latter stage, the entire ability system is adjusting, and every time he completes a point, his strength increases by one point. So he is now more concerned with who he fights and why he fights than with the fight itself, rather than whether he can win or how he fights.

When Azaram saw the ladybug flying away in batches and went to the three passages to reconnoitre, he understood Miao Pu's plan and felt that it was true. He knew very well how special the capable puppet was before, and through the battle with Miao Pu, he had an intuitive estimate of Miao Pu's combat effectiveness. He felt that there was no longer anyone in this world who could defeat Miao Pu in a 1v1 battle. Neither he nor Destiny No. 4 can do it, not even the [Zun] of the [Aragami Crowd].

While the ladybug flying machine was made in large quantities and spilled out for reconnaissance, Miao Pu completed the production and assembly of several other instruments, and then made a carrier for the [Machine Spirit]. The highest-end and most expensive body of the [Machine Spirit] did not fight with him in the camp, and now this one is not bad, mainly because the source spar is used sparingly, which makes the [Machine Spirit] better use guò as a vehicle to play its role as a technical chief engineer.

After [Machine Spirit] had a body, he directly took over the production matters, and Miao Pu concentrated on sorting out his ability system, occasionally assisting in production, and often doing some ability operations without using his brain, which had little effect on his ability system combing.

Azaram patiently watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but envy in his heart. Although the [Machine Spirit] is not a [Source Device], this method of using it is not much different from the [Source Device]. The autonomy is high enough to operate a series of complex productions independently, and the ability to formulate and optimize solutions and technologies on their own under the premise that is most suitable for the moment, which can only be achieved by the source energy master's [source device].

In fact, in a way, Destiny 4 is a representative of the Source. Azaram felt that Miao Pu's [Hunting Weapon] was almost the same as Destiny 4 in terms of its core ability!
