Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1109 - 809: Deduction

"You’re crazy."

Li Zheng pushed Anan away, sometimes he really couldn’t understand the mindset of these aliens, always feeling they weren’t normal people.

Before, she was so wary of him, not daring to let him touch the Spiritual Realm, and now she wants to play this game with him?

Wait a minute!

Li Zheng suddenly thought, "If she’s a hardcore masochist, then it seems normal to refuse others from touching the Spiritual Realm before because breaking through Mental Defense by force brings pain at the spiritual level."

So...

This girl from the Suffering Race might not really distrust him, but simply likes to seek abuse?

Thinking of this, Li Zheng couldn’t help but shiver; even though he had experienced a lot, he couldn’t understand this kind of hobby.

After he drove Anan away, before he could catch his breath, his vision blurred and he arrived at the Central Hub.

The Terminal looked deeply at Li Zheng through the screen: "I told you to sign a contract with them, and you conveniently dissolved the engagement too?"

Li Zheng met the Terminal’s gaze: "You should at least give me some choice, right? And wasn’t that childish engagement arranged by one of my seniors? Why do you care so much?"

The Terminal was taken aback, looking somewhat guilty, and changed the subject: "Ahem, let’s not talk about that, the main reason I called you this time is to share some good news with you."

"What good news? Is there any progress with the cultivation techniques?" Li Zheng stroked his chin, always feeling like the Terminal was hiding some story behind the childish engagement.

The Terminal clearly didn’t want to explain any hidden stories, and said seriously, "To be precise, it’s not about progress with cultivation techniques, but in the course of my research, coupled with research reports I acquired from the Genetic Research Institute, I’ve developed a different kind of cultivation... well... let’s call it a cultivation method for now."

"Cultivation method?" Li Zheng immediately became interested, setting aside the Terminal’s gossip, and asked: "What kind?"

"Let me show you."

The supercomputer screen changed, the Terminal’s face disappeared, replaced by an anatomical diagram of the human body.

"Look, here is the ’Middle Dantian’ mentioned by Yan Jinjin."

The chest and abdomen area on the anatomical diagram was highlighted, and the Terminal explained: "Currently, Yan Jinjin and others have discovered a Genetic Ability that has no special combat abilities, but simply raises the limit of Genetic Force. And we all know that Genetic Force is stored in the so-called Middle Dantian."

The "Middle Dantian" was represented by an empty round bottle into which liquid was poured until it was completely filled.

"You see, when there is Genetic Force in the Middle Dantian, it looks like this, but maintaining this Genetic Force requires some kind of confinement, you could understand it as the Middle Dantian having an exit and the confinement is like a stopper plugging the exit."

Li Zheng watched for a while and said, "Currently, the best stopper is actually a kind of thing formed in the body from Genetic Ability, similar to a ’Dao Pattern’ and somewhat akin to the contract with the Destruction Race..."

He actually suspected that some alien races might naturally possess Genetic Abilities, such as the Loyalty Contract of the Destruction Race, the Merciless Attitude of the Optimists, and the Transformation Ability of the Black Dragon Race, etc.

"Exactly!" The Terminal agreed: "And eliminating Genetic Ability from the body can be understood as someone pulling out the stopper, and once Genetic Force finds an outlet, it will naturally dissipate."

Li Zheng asked confusedly, "Previously, I had Yan Jinjin conduct experiments, and the Genetic Ability, when cleared, if you don’t try to manipulate the Genetic Force, it won’t even dissipate."

"Because of tension," the Terminal immediately answered: "Actually Genetic Force sounds mysterious, but if you think of it as water, it’s easier to understand. A bottle of water turned upside down with the lid closed won’t spill, and if nothing affects it, it can last a long time without leaking; the principle of Genetic Force is somewhat similar, but actively touching it breaks the delicate balance, causing it to spill out from the Middle Dantian like water from a bottle."

After listening, Li Zheng asked again: "Then where does the expelled Genetic Force go? Does it dissipate into the air, or enter the body tissue and return to the source?"

"Regarding this, Yan Jinjin and others have also conducted relevant experiments." The Terminal consulted literature and read the data: "Both phenomena occur: some of it spreads inside the body and is absorbed by tissues but has no positive or negative effect on them. And another part probably cannot be contained by the body and thus enters the air, dissipating completely."

The Terminal also proposed a hypothesis: "If sufficient people in the universe produced Genetic Force and then dissipated it, perhaps it could increase the Genetic Force concentration in the universe to a certain level, at which people might indeed be able to develop an Immortal Cultivation Technique to absorb the energy dispersed in the air for their own use. But if too many people cultivate, it would cause energy to become sparse, leading to the so-called ’End of the Dharma Era’."

This was just a hypothesis and couldn’t prove that the world Yan Jinjin belonged to was like this.

A sudden realization struck Li Zheng: "Isn’t this exactly how Emotion Storms develop?"

Starting as a small cluster and gradually expanding to encompass the entire universe!

The Terminal revealed an avatar with a visibly surprised expression: "Using the Immortal Cultivation System for understanding, Genetic Force is physical power, roughly akin to Body Refining. Then what kind of power is Emotion Storms?"

This doesn’t feel like the so-called "Primordial Qi" either.

"Body Refining, Qi Refining..." Li Zheng pondered, "Emotion Storms are actually a power of the mind, and in the Immortal Cultivation System, Spiritual Power is called Divine Sense or Primordial Consciousness."

The Terminal’s expression shifted slightly: "You’re saying... if Emotion Storms is an uncontrolled Divine Sense, no... or rather, the reason Emotion Storms keep expanding without restraint is that it treats the entire universe as the Sea of Consciousness in the Immortal Cultivation System, and once it wipes out every other living being in this universe, it might form a so-called Primordial Spirit at the very center of the Emotion Storm?"

"No, remove the ’Primordial’ part," Li Zheng said solemnly, "According to this theory, what it ultimately creates wouldn’t be some junk like a Primordial Spirit."

But rather—a God!

In the terms of the Immortal Cultivation System, it would be the Heavenly Dao.

Despite having long abandoned its physical form, the Terminal felt a chill at this moment: "All these years, I’ve been overlooking a crucial issue, that is, the development of Emotion Storms shouldn’t still be the same chaotic thought form as before!"

Perhaps, unbeknownst to him, the Emotion Storms already have their own consciousness and mind?

Confronting such an enemy, how slim are the chances of victory.
