[Even though I think this should be the power of your own talent, Ian, but if it’s really like what your senior brother Mahdi said in the City of Knowledge, that every Arcane Path Practitioner can condense a ’Standard Origin Model’ for themselves through ditation... then every Standard Origin Model could devour and replace each other!]
Xike’s guess was indeed correct. Ian’s ability to extract the Origin Model from Xike’s body ca from Ian himself having the Rites of the Star Gods and Heart of Terra, two Divine Artifacts that could directly scan and forcefully extract specific Origin Models with ultra-high computational power.
No one else could do it, not even by creating a second Heart of Terra, unless they were a Pioneer.
But in the future.
If in the future, the Arcane Path truly flourishes, and everyone practices the sa Standard Origin Model and condenses a Standard Sublimation Organ for themselves...
Then mutual plundering might really beco a possibility.
"...It’s a problem."
At this mont, Ian also fell into deep thought.
Xike was able to think this way because he was a person of the Fiery Fla Land, and the ethics of researchers in the Fiery Fla Land were similar to those of the Spirit Wisdom Institute of The Empire, where corruption was difficult, making it easy to imagine such a mutual devouring structure to elevate one.
And the Arcane Path seed indeed quite suitable for fostering such a structure.
The widespread practice of the Arcane Path allows everyone to start cultivation, making everyone a genius with strong mory and high computational power. Even those with dull thinking would be, at the very least, capable of thinking as fast as a supercomputer.
Everyone gained power, yet due to this path, they lost their uniqueness.
Everyone could use the sa cultivation thod, which, aside from allowing everyone to ascend, could also make exploitation by the strong over the weak more terrifying.
In just a mont, Ian thought of many possibilities.
"Pure plundering and cannibalism are actually very inefficient... but if it’s capitalist exploitation, even forcing you to sell your cultivated Origin Structure to supply others... making cultivation a ans of ’livelihood,’ turning it into a ’job’..."
Ian murmured to himself, "The cultivation of the Arcane Path decoupling from ’Self-Ascension,’ where everyone can condense so specific Origin Structures, and powerful officials purchase these Origin Structures, congregating the ’strength of the masses’ to forge and provide for an absolute ’strong one’..."
Thinking of this possibility, Ian suddenly felt a chill.
"Perhaps, I can make everyone’s Origin Structure resonate and intertwine with their soul itself."
After composing himself, Ian discussed with Xike: "Using a special ditation Technique to imprint their Sublimation Organ, so it cannot be plundered by others."
[That’s not hard]
Xike also noticed Ian’s change in attitude. Knowing this was his only chance to turn the tables, he racked his brain and imdiately pointed out a flaw: [But if a strong person really wants to trade, the weak can’t resist at all; they can directly make them erase their own soul imprint, can’t they?]
Being a person of the Fiery Fla Land, he said a frightening suggestion very matter-of-factly: [If it doesn’t work, use your children. At that ti, a strong person could be like my father, having hundreds of children, each with the sa Bloodline; he himself eats a few to complete his own being and then picks the best one as his successor, using the rest as nourishnt for that successor.]
[To be honest, the reason I beca Fourth Level so fast is sowhat due to consuming so resources of other siblings. Although not actually eating people, the principle is the sa.]
At this point, Xike looked at Ian like a monster: [But you’re completely different. You’re even younger than , yet stronger—if I hadn’t seen that you haven’t eaten people, I would’ve thought you started eating very early.]
"Actually, there’s no need to have children; clones work too."
Ian didn’t mind Xike’s sowhat offensive words. He was always generous and tolerant towards those who could offer him suggestions. The Fairy Ian contemplated this as he flew through the air, scattering large swaths of snowflakes: "Nurture clones well, make them cultivate specific cultivation techniques and ditation Techniques, then harvest them regularly. Whether the body or soul is nutrient, you can even specifically cultivate a few stronger clones; if the body suffers serious injury or organ damage requiring repair, you can directly use the clone’s organs for replacent, restoring peak combat power in no ti."
"Whether offspring or clones, even if their cultivation efficiency is low, for those holding most resources, being able to boost one’s cultivation progress, maintaining an advantage over others, is more important than anything..."
"Xike."
Looking up, Fairy Ian and the Glazed-Glass Dragon simultaneously looked at Xike’s soul, their expressions solemn: "Your advice is very useful. It turns out the old saying is true: everyone can be my teacher... Your unscrupulous thinking has inspired greatly, and it seems that future research on the Arcane Path indeed needs to consider how to restrain this aspect."
This is actually a very good supplent. What Ian thought was too far ahead and distant, invisible trends ant nothing to him; and Adalbert, with high morals, couldn’t think of this. Yisen Gard and others’ research on the Arcane Path wasn’t deep, and they couldn’t think of this for the ti being.
