398. On the transformation of life forms
"You're really just...... Forgot my looks? But remember me? ”
Lloyd asked with some suspicion, worried that the presiding judge was deliberately 'lying' and didn't want to worry about himself?
"Yes, it's like some of the people you met when you were a kid, you may remember their names, but you forgot what they looked like......"
The presiding judge was still as gentle as ever, so he put down the book in his hand, picked up the iconic metal mask at the bedside and put it on, returning to the image that Lloyd was most familiar with, and then continued:
"If you're not sure, can you ask me a few questions?"
"Hmm...... So...... Who is my big brother? ”
"Haha, Your Excellency the Grand Judge is indeed approachable."
When Lloyd heard this answer, he was relieved, and he even remembered such small details, indicating that the presiding judge's memory was not too problematic.
"Now you're relieved, aren't you?"
The presiding judge asked again.
Lloyd nodded, and explained in a humble manner:
"Although I have many advantages, the most outstanding thing is definitely my handsome appearance, but you forgot about this, which makes me worry."
The presiding judge couldn't help but be stunned, and stopped talking a little......
A moment later, he burst into a hearty laugh in Lloyd's head:
"Haha, you're still as interesting as ever, and I was worried that you'd become that boring student when you joined Mizkatok."
As he spoke, he changed to an extraordinarily sincere tone and continued:
"Your growth is really beyond my expectations, in such a short period of time, you have grown to the point of amazing me, and even saved my life, thank you, Lloyd, I will find a way to repay you."
"Hehe, no, no, you can do me a little favor."
Lloyd smiled and scratched his head, which explained the purpose of this time, and also talked to the presiding judge about some of his previous experiences.
The presiding judge listened very carefully, except for two irrelevant questions from time to time, he basically listened quietly to what Lloyd said, and did not hesitate to say until the end:
"No problem, the project you're currently working on is important to all of humanity, and I'm honored to contribute some small forces to it."
As he spoke, he nodded again and again, adding:
"I really can't imagine it, Lloyd, you are already experiencing this level of major events now, I believe that in the near future, I am afraid that an old bone like me will not even be able to help."
"No, no, you don't look old."
"Outward age doesn't tell the whole story, it's just a small advantage I gained by giving up my original human life form, but compared to what I lost......
Forget it, let's not talk about it...... In short, I am really old, and the world in the future will be you...... No, it's your time! ”
The presiding judge patted Lloyd's shoulder lightly, as if encouraging, as if entrusting.
Lloyd didn't think much about it, but when he heard the presiding judge mention the stubble of life forms again, and Hiltina had just said it earlier, he asked curiously:
"I'd like to ask you about life forms."
"Oh? Are you about to be promoted to the fifth rank? It's really fast...... So what do you want to know? ”
The two began a one-on-one lesson, and the presiding judge gave Lloyd a small lesson on life forms.
To put it simply, when the transcendent completes the fifth [detachment], he can comprehend an ability to detach consciousness from the body, which is present in every system, and it sounds a bit like the 'Yin God' and 'Yang God' in Xianxia.
But it's certainly not as exaggerated and powerful as it is, it's much simpler and more basic.
After mastering this ability, you can choose some new carriers that are stronger than the original physical body to accommodate your consciousness, which is equivalent to completing a 'rebirth'.
The basic concept is probably like this, but in fact, there are still a lot of doorways and details involved, and the whole process is very complex and long.
How do you get out of your consciousness safely? How to make the strength rise instead of falling? How do I choose the right new vector?
Questions like this, and so on, are certainly not something that can be said in a few words.
And you don't necessarily have to choose a new carrier, you can also choose to adjust or even remake your original body, so that the original weak body can be upgraded.
This is a relatively conservative choice, and it is also the choice of most high-ranking powerhouses.
There are also such as the practice of the adviser and the chief judge who completely abandon the original body, but it is a relatively rare radical.
Of course, there are pros and cons to this, and how to weigh the trade-offs is also a matter that needs to be carefully considered.
In short, this is a rather long and complicated process, and a normal transcendent person often starts planning from the fifth order and learning the relevant knowledge; to the sixth level to start the specific implementation step by step; It can be said that it is quite troublesome to finally complete the change of life form until the seventh order.
And in exchange for these efforts, it is a better use of spiritual power and ability, stronger resistance to spiritual pollution, a stronger and more convenient body, and so on.
Of course, this is also full of various risks, a little careless, the slightest fall into the root of the disease, like the housekeeper, the lower body is directly gone; The worst ones are gone, like those unlucky people whose names no one even remembers.
"Therefore, this is a difficult and long test for every transcendent, and even faces unprecedented dangers and tribulations."
The presiding judge concluded.
Lloyd asked helplessly:
"Uh...... So troublesome...... Can you just give up? I think I'm in good shape, and I'm handsome. ”
"Yes, but you should feel something, right? The human body has limits. ”
The presiding judge first nodded, and then said:
"It's true that some people choose to give up, but that's often worse...... If your ambition is to become a saint, then this is the problem you have to face.
Of course, this is still too early for you at this time, and you can hurry up and breed for yourself...... I think Wei Ya likes you very much, how is the relationship between you and her? If you like her too, then hurry up. ”
No...... Why did you suddenly start urging marriage while chatting?
Lloyd laughed and laughed, and then asked:
"Isn't it possible that after the fifth order, there can't be a baby?"
"It's difficult, because since the fifth order, your life form has changed, and you are not completely a human in the traditional sense, so naturally you can't reproduce like a normal human being......
The presiding judge first explained, and then added:
"At the same time, it's the main reason why life forms need to be changed."
Lloyd couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked:
"Huh? What do you mean...... The change in life form is not entirely my own choice? ”
"Yes, even if you don't take the initiative to change, your life form will change on its own as you go deeper into the transcendent path, but it is difficult to predict what kind of changes will occur......
Possible gender change? Is it possible to have a malformed variant? It is even possible to get out of control completely...... Therefore, people still want to take the initiative more than this uncontrollable change, and those who give up on change will inevitably pay a price for it. ”
"I see......"
Lloyd nodded, and then showed a wry smile of helplessness.
"The transcendent way is indeed full of thorns and hardships...... However, even the life form has changed, so can it still be considered a human being? ”
"Do you think I'm human, then?"
The presiding judge asked rhetorically in his head.
"Of course!"
"That's right, as long as you were human and your self-perception is human, then you are still human."
The presiding judge said, and in a more serious tone, he exhorted very seriously:
"Lloyd, you must remember that no matter what you experience in the future, what you have encountered, how powerful you have become, it is very important not to give up your knowledge as a human being!"
"Yes, I'm sure I won't forget."
Lloyd nodded vigorously.
Who knew that the presiding judge actually withdrew the topic again:
"So where have you and Wei Ya progressed? Have you met her father? When will I have a baby?
Children are very important for maintaining your self-awareness, and you should not be careless. ”
Alas......
Lloyd sighed helplessly in his heart, and could only bite the bullet and say:
"Ahaha, we get along very well, and our relationship is getting closer and closer, so it should be a matter of course soon, right? Haha, okay, let's talk about the academic program, shall we? ”
Although the topic shifted harder than steel bars, 0-006 was a big deal after all, and the presiding judge didn't say anything, so as an assistant, or a staff member, he gave Lloyd a lot of advice for the next recruitment.
After the two chatted for a while, they quickly entered the actual operation, and Lloyd wrote a recruitment announcement according to the recruitment process of Professor Toledo before, and under the guidance of the presiding judge.
It was then released through the student handbook as the general leader of the project.
Then, together with the presiding judge, I looked at the recruitment announcements made by other professors or lecturers, and studied what everyone was tossing.
"Exquisite project, high credits, famous teacher guidance, beautiful schoolgirl, short cycle, fast effect, high rating, come quickly!" 》
"The big stage of the engineering department, you will come if you have a job!" 》
"Everyone's favorite history archaeology, let's start! (^_)☆》
Lloyd glanced at him twice, then looked at the presiding judge, and then looked at the headline he had posted:
"Notice on the Launching of Key Academic Projects in the City of Pleasure"
