Chapter 1647: Chapter 311: The Path I Walked, You Can Walk Too!
Without any hesitation, Ian raised his hand and directly manifested a model of an Artificial Soul in the Subspace.
This is the convenience of the Subspace auditorium; as long as the speaker has Spirit Energy and a strong enough imagination, they can influence reality and shape nearly tangible models—A soul model radiating a faint white light appeared in the Black-Haired Knight’s palm, continuously enlarging until it was larger than three people.
"This is the Artificial Soul. Everything I’m talking about starts from this,"
Mahdi said calmly, his gaze sweeping over all the angry and dissatisfied Spirit Energy researchers: "This is an optimized version based on Fiery Flame Land and The Empire’s technology, a pure model without any backdoor. The production method is right beside it." As he spoke, he attached a manual next to it: "Whether you choose to believe them or believe Dragon Island is up to you. Think for yourself and see for yourself."
"Let me state one thing first: the Artificial Soul is necessary."
"Through training, through cultivation, through physical stimulation, mental stimulation, and gourmet food to stimulate the soul’s embryonic form is indeed a good method, but rather than forcing the body to nurture an original yet imperfect soul, it’s better to directly infuse it with an Artificial Soul and then use your methods to stimulate and strengthen it—this is the trend."
Mahdi emphasized: "The earlier an Artificial Soul is implanted, the better the effect; if implanted during the embryonic stage at birth, the integration of the Artificial Soul and the body even surpasses that of naturally born souls because naturally born souls are essentially inferior, self-made ’Artificial Souls.’
[I object!]
At this moment, in the audience, the representative of Fiery Flame Land, Prince Qingting, spoke sternly: [Which is the main body, the body or the soul? If a soul is implanted before a baby has self-awareness, then isn’t it the soul that first gains consciousness and wisdom?]
[In a certain perspective, you are replacing human self-awareness with the parasitic Artificial Soul... you’re turning all newborns into your creations!]
"The Artificial Soul requires the thought and memory produced by brain activity to gradually grow. Before that, it’s merely a blank memory aid device and calculator; it’s just a tool that cannot be used without a person."
Without much concern for the other’s status, Mahdi replied calmly: "Unless one has no brain to begin with, like patients completely losing self-thought ability such as Alzheimer’s, brain atrophy, epilepsy, or other brain neurological diseases, where I might create a ’basic thought template’ to restore thinking ability, everyone else uses a blank Artificial Soul for symbiotic integration."
[So, you do have the capability?] Prince Qingting’s eyes lit up: [Then how can it be...]
"You shut up first."
Mahdi raised his hand to interrupt the other’s speech: "Comrades in Fiery Flame Land, don’t act as if you care about ethics. No one present seems to care about this issue; if you keep bringing up irrelevant ethical and moral questions, I’ll have to apply for a gag order."
[Let him speak!][Let him continue!]
The other people are currently examining the structure of the Artificial Soul in detail—something that had been controlled as a secret technology by Fiery Flame Land and The Empire. Before, they only knew about this research direction, but not the related details—yet Ian has now publicly shared the method to create the blank template with them, and they are eagerly committing it to memory, caring little for any doubts.
As for Fiery Flame Land, they were somewhat anxious, realizing Ian actually disclosed what was almost exclusively their technical means. Meanwhile, The Empire remained calm, whispering quietly underground.
Mahdi continued: "The Artificial Soul is merely a blank template. I call it ’The Primordial Stone.’
Behind him, the large round blank Artificial Soul indeed looked like a white spherical rock.
"And the Primordial Stone can be carved and modified."
Following his words, the previously blank Artificial Soul began to gradually exhibit a series of intricate and exquisite structures—a three-dimensional spiritual body structure more complex than Inscriptions, arousing a chorus of exclamations as it appeared.
[What structure is this?]
[Very complex, somewhat like an Inscription magic array... it’s a bit similar to the Third Energy Level, the Sublimator’s Sublimation Structure born from modifying one’s soul via Heart Light Body, also resembling the patterns appearing on the soul after a Spirit Energy Awakening...]
[Is this the technical focus?]
"This is the method to modify the soul, which I call the Meditation Technique."
Mahdi calmly said: "By using self-will to modify the soul, the subjective initiative of a person to remodel oneself, just like a stonemason carving the Primordial Stone, we gradually carve our Soul Structure through the Meditation Technique, transforming the entire soul bit by bit into a highly calculative ’Soul Crystal.’"
"Yes, it’s somewhat akin to the dragon’s cognitive organ ’Dragon Crystal,’ but the Soul Crystal is more ethereal, existing only as a Spiritual Body but capable of providing enormous calculative power."
"This is a publicly available Meditation Technique, through which anyone can modify their soul, bringing computational power exceeding conventional Armor Suit cores and even pre-era civilization’s single computational terminals."
