Chapter 2204 The possibility of awakening psionic energy

Although Xia Duo didn't have much hope for his own awakening of psionic energy from the beginning, he still felt not reconciled to denying the possibility of his own awakening so easily from the perspective of the existence of psionic energy.

It's not that Xia Duo has to awaken psionic energy, but only after awakening himself can he study the nature of psionic energy from a more intuitive perspective.

He thought, since the reality allows the existence of psionic power, it means that either his previous understanding of the world has been biased, or that psionic power may not exist completely ideally as most people think.

In short, the existence of psionic energy in this world must reflect a certain reality of this world, which is a completely different angle from conventional magic.

It would be fine if Xia Duo didn't know the existence of psionic power from the beginning.It's really not something he can do if he knows it and pretends he didn't see it, or deliberately avoids it because he is worried about breaking his past perception of the world.

……

Back to the interrogation itself, after Xia Duo sorted out the development of Zamdas and psionic energy, he continued to extend the concept of psionic energy in these consciousness messages to search for the answer he wanted.

The concept of psionic energy occupies a crucial position in Mojave's consciousness. He has been dealing with psionic energy all his life. It can be said that Mojave's consciousness is composed of countless psionic energy concepts!

But precisely because so much information is intertwined and mixed together, even if there is a clearer context to follow, it is not easy to find out the specific content related to psionic magic.

The reason is very simple, it is the idealistic nature of psychic energy, and all its related knowledge largely depends on the user's own cognition, the most important thing is that it is not based on the cognition of objective reality, but more like doing whatever one wants .

Even though Xia Duo has only come into contact with the consciousness information of one psionic mage until now, the consciousness of the same person contains all kinds of contradictory information.

As a bystander who has undergone systematic scientific training, Xia Duo can certainly distinguish the contradiction at a glance, but as a scholar and master who has been dealing with psionic energy all his life, it is impossible for Mojave to be completely unaware.

In fact, Xia Duo has already analyzed Mojave’s subconscious avoidance of some contradictory cognitions, which can’t help but make Xia Duo have a question:
"Spiritual energy is really so convenient? Even beyond the contradiction, can psychic energy that negates psychic energy also exist?"

In fact, if Xia Duo wants to awaken his psionic power, he only needs to give him a reason that can convince him, no matter whether the reason is in line with objective laws, as long as he accepts it, he may be able to awaken it.

So he continued to search in Mojave's memory fragments, and soon he discovered a key piece of information about the [Psychic World]——

It turns out that the mind world is not as rare in Zamdas as it is in the outside world. It is said that Mojave is a master of illusion, but it is actually entirely because of the great blessing of psionic power in the field of illusion.

The reality is that any psionic master can create his own mental world, and the strength of the mental world is also an important criterion for judging the strength of a psionic master.

In order to make the world of mental imagery stronger, Mojave discovered a big secret that other psionic masters may have discovered, but no one dared to mention publicly——

The closer the mental world is shaped to the real world, the stronger the mental world will be.

And Xia Duo further speculates that the proximity that Mojave recognizes may not be the proximity of the superficial landscape, but the proximity of deep rules. From this perspective, psychic power does not exist completely out of reality.
Continuing to trace along this line, Xia Duo soon discovered that there were no associated memory fragments in front of him. The process of forced projection and the process of crushing consciousness would destroy the integrity of the consciousness information in it.

The latter will be more serious, smashing the consciousness essentially destroys the soul projection existing in the copy of the consciousness, and a lot of information in the process will dissipate before Xia Duo can analyze it.

Therefore, it is very important to find the key node. Perhaps it is better to find a key node in the memory fragments of one consciousness copy simply and roughly looking at the countless memory fragments after a hundred copies of consciousness have been shattered.

For example, Xia Duo has broken the clue now, but he has found a very useful memory thread before, and it is nothing more than going around in another way.

No matter how bad it is, you can reopen the copy. Not every time you shatter the consciousness, you will lose the same information. You can always piece together relatively complete information after a few more tries.

Smashing consciousness and searching for memory fragments seems to be at a loss, but in fact it is far more effective than direct interrogation. Direct interrogation is essentially a conscious dialogue between the interrogator and the interrogated.

If the interrogator is proficient in psychic spells, he may be able to see some secrets from the opponent's subconscious activities.

But in the face of a psionic master, and a psionic master intertwined with other personalities, it is almost difficult to get effective results from direct inquiries. This is something Xia Duo will verify every time he reopens the instance.

After all, it is much easier to get an answer by asking casually than to parse a large amount of memory fragments, but every time Mojave can't make Xia Duo happy.

To be effective, it still needs to be cracked by brute force. According to Xia Duo's experience, about [-]% to [-]% of the information will be lost in the cracking process.

Its essence is to completely disassemble the target's consciousness. If Xia Duo has a team, he can completely analyze all the consciousness information of Mojave.

Even if he is alone and only focuses on the key points, the information obtained is definitely many orders of magnitude higher than that obtained through conscious dialogue.

"It's nothing more than hard work, but panning for gold itself is also a pleasure!"

These are not words of joy in bitterness, but the joy after discovering the treasure completely covered the little bit of hard work. If Xia Duo had to choose again, he would be willing to work harder a hundred times.

……

Continue to search until all the memory fragments dissipate, and then open a new copy of consciousness, try to interrogate directly first, and then smash the consciousness to search for memory fragments according to the usual practice.

In this way, after many back and forth, before the soul fragments that were stripped out as the carrier of the Mojave consciousness were completely exhausted, Xia Duo had sorted out most of the content related to psionic energy in the Mojave consciousness up.

Similar to his later speculation, the world of mental images is not just a handy tool that can be used to attack opponents, but more like a concentrated expression of the psionic mage's personal cognition and thoughts.

At the same time, it is also a vital part of Zamdas' psionic magic system!
Any intelligent species that takes the initiative to go to Zamdas, or is conquered by Zamdas, has the opportunity to awaken psionic power, and in the process of awakening, it will go through a ritual of accepting the baptism of artifacts.

In the eyes of outsiders, it may be that the artifact inspired the spiritual talents of the baptized people and gave them a special ability, and it was indeed the case.

But what outsiders don't know is that the process of accepting the baptism of the artifact is essentially a process of assimilating thoughts and cognitions. This is also a more professional name in the Zamdas psychic scholars group, which is called "heart can share"!
The artifact connects certain essences of all baptized people together, and the psionic master can even dedicate part of his thoughts, together with the mental image world he created, to the mental image world of the artifact when his body and soul die.

Whenever a new artifact is born, with the help of the surge of heart energy at the time of its birth, the echoes of the thoughts of the deceased psionic masters preserved in those old artifacts have the opportunity to bring their mental world back to reality and be completely resurrected .

Therefore, it can also be easily considered that the mind world or the twelve artifacts are the root of Zamdas' psionic magic system.
