As the situation on the Terra Continent grew increasingly bizarre and tense, the standoff on the New Continent gradually moved into its final stages.
Ian’s Glazed-Glass Dragon was still asleep in the Ironcloud Mountains, undergoing self-modification of the Arcane Pathway and the True Dragon Lineage.
Currently, the Ironcloud Mountains were enveloped by a layer of strange wind, not the usual wind and thunder, but a peculiar ’flow’. It felt as if space-ti had been bent, gravity altered, water didn’t flow downward but upward, and the wind didn’t blow but fell.
anwhile, in the South Ridge, Ian, along with Kerraith’s split soul and Master Gravie (an Elven Alchemy Grandmaster overseeing the Familial Spirits), arrived at the South Sea Great Labyrinth to oversee the maintenance and reconstruction of the Redwood Base’s ecological circle deep within.
Initially hesitant, Master Gravie directly moved his luggage and studio deep into the labyrinth upon seeing the deep-sea underground ecological circle at Redwood Base, which was vastly different from Terra yet incredibly perfect.
He declared that even if Ian chased him away, he wouldn’t leave. Such a perfect ecological district could allow for at least a dozen large-scale biological experints simultaneously, whether in The Empire or Canaan Moore. Though he held the title of a master, he still had to compete with his peers for chances to conduct experints.
Now, with him being the only Bio-Alchemy Master under Ian’s command, the entire ecological circle of Redwood Base was entrusted to him. Even though maintenance was troubleso, it was a happy inconvenience.
As for Kerraith’s split soul... it essentially turned itself into the Heart of Terra’s database, a ’model’ that could assist and teach the Heart of Terra to learn more thought patterns.
[The thought pattern of the Heart of Terra originates from you, right? Although stable, and with emotions and all selfishness locked by the Soul’s Steel Seal, an artificial intelligence with only one thought pattern is bound to get stuck]
The split soul thus said to Ian: [Multiple perspectives, multiple ways of thinking, can prevent thought processes from getting stuck—I have created many different versions of ’myself’ through the Silver Sky Gateway, with ways of thinking that are distinct from each other, yet they all share the sa consensus with . Compared to the original body, this split soul is more friendly and amiable, not as mad (at this point Ian showed a doubtful expression), and can consider more appropriate thods on many issues than the original body]
[Your Guiding Star can connect with different versions of yourself across parallel space-ti. Breaking through knowledge barriers is not hard for you. My suggestion is to incorporate more thought models into the Heart of Terra, which could enable it to handle matters more swiftly and justly, allowing its self-evolution to be faster]
Ian thought the split soul had a point, but due to his own reasons, he was indeed sowhat apprehensive about casually incorporating the ’thought patterns’ from his parallel space-ti pathways into the Heart of Terra.
Ian of the Swarm, Ian of the Spirit Calamity, Ian of Extinguished Stars, and those world-ending Ian in the phantasms, Conqueror Ian, Shattered Stars Ian...
Wow, bringing in those lunatics isn’t asking for trouble? The benevolent Ian of the Arcane Pathway resolutely wanted to draw a clear boundary with those oddballs. Even if he had to adopt thought patterns, they must be ticulously selected and modified!
[You don’t think you aren’t extre, do you?]
To this, the split soul sneered: [Moreover, sotis extre is needed to broaden thought patterns. Trust , currently, your collective extreness is why you seem quite normal instead]
Leaving that aside, there were soon results from developing the South Sea Great Labyrinth.
The first breakthrough wasn’t from anything else, but the ’Frostbait Moth’.
This biological weapon from a previous era civilization, akin to the Crystal Dragon from the sa era, didn’t have atavistic mutants as seen in the Crystal Dragon but instead naturally evolved into a Cluster Demon Beast, which itself was beneficial too.
For instance, the Frostbait Moth’s numbers could allow the production of corresponding Magic Potions in large quantities for the Silverpeak Domain.
The Frostbait Moth, capable of flying, mastering ice and water, possessing strong regenerative abilities, as well as certain ntal control and parasitic capabilities, was actually an extrely fine soldier Magic Potion. Even if not for its bloodline, the Frostbait Moth could still be used as materials for the Water Series or Insect Series True Form.
More importantly, the primordial Frostbait Moth and Crystal Dragon beca the prototype of the Frost Fairy Lair. Years of subtle influence ant that so parts of the Frostbait Moth’s materials could also serve as materials for the Fairy Bloodline, further fitting the stereotype of fairies as large fluttering moths!
"This is like a small Atlantian galopolis."
Master Gravie comnted: "Give ten years, and I can turn this place into a fully functional ecological district that can continuously produce various Magical Beast Materials—it’s a bit long, but since your Arcane Pathway doesn’t need much Magic Potion materials anyway, and even if it does, it’s just supplentary, I think you can wait."
"Besides, there’s plenty of Frostbait Moths. I estimate that within one or two years, I can figure out the standard Origin Quality Model of the Frostbait Moth."
The so-called standard Origin Model disregards all biological mutations and individual factors, adapting to everyone’s Origin Quality model. Simply put, it’s the basic Origin Model by applying Occam’s razor to remove all unnecessary components.
This model is the foundation for the developnt of new Magic Potions. No matter the formula adjustnts, it must conform to the base model.
These models were just part of professional research in the past Sublimation Path, known to few. But for the Arcane Pathway, if soone truly wanted to self-consolidate Sublimation Organs, they would need a standard Origin Model as a reference, ensuring that everyone could cultivate, and the results would be broadly similar.
"Interesting."
In response, Ian’s contemplation was noted by both Master Gravie and the split soul: "In that case, do humans have a fundantal model? What about the soul? Does the human soul have a fundantal model?"
[Of course it does]
With caution, the split soul, versed in Spirit Energy, replied: [The soul models of the sa race indeed have common points. Sorin’s Deceased Monarch seems to be exploiting this aspect at present]
[But that’s rely a superficial use. The mysteries of the soul are nurous. Before Artificial Soul Technology, souls were too scarce, as were research achievents]
"I see." Ian nodded slightly, contemplating: "The Deceased Monarch, ditation Techniques, Soul’s Steel Seal, artificial intelligence... it seems these are all technologies related to the ’basic soul model’."
"A soul isn’t so sacred thing that cannot be altered. If one wishes to reshape it, it can be modified just like humans modify their physical bodies today..."
Under the cautious watch of the split soul and Master Gravie, Ian smiled and did not continue this topic but turned his attention elsewhere.
His soul spanned half a planet, reaching the New Continent.
At this ti, the Expeditionary Legion on Far Shore Island finally initiated significant actions.
With elite troops from various Beast Kingdoms, they began advancing toward the ’Crystal Sanctuary’ at the center of the New Continent.
