Although Xia Duo didn't have much hope in awakening his spiritual power from the beginning, he still felt unwilling to deny the possibility of his awakening from the perspective of the existence of spiritual power so easily.
It's not that Sha Duo has to awaken spiritual energy, but only by awakening it himself can he study the nature of spiritual energy from a more intuitive perspective.
He thought that since reality allows the existence of psychic energy, it means that either his previous understanding of the world has been deviated, or that psychic energy may not be the completely idealistic existence that most people think.
In short, if spiritual energy exists in this world, it must reflect a certain reality of this world. This is a completely different angle from conventional magic.
It would be fine if Shado didn't know about the existence of spiritual energy from the beginning. It's really not something he can do if he knows it and pretends he hasn't seen it, or is worried about breaking his past understanding of the world and deliberately avoids it.
…
Returning to the interrogation itself, after Shado sorted out the development of Jamdas and psionic energy, he continued to extend the concept of psionic energy in these consciousness information to search for the answer he wanted.
The concept of psionic energy occupies a vital 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 concepts!
But precisely because there is so much information 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 psychic magic.
The reason is very simple. It is the idealistic nature of psychic energy. All relevant knowledge depends to a large extent 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 following one's will. .
Even though Xia Duo has only come into contact with the consciousness information of one psychic mage until now, the same person's consciousness contains all kinds of contradictory information.
As a bystander who has experienced systematic scientific training, Shado can certainly tell the contradiction at a glance, but as a scholar and master who has been dealing with psychic energy all his life, Mohave cannot be completely unaware of it.
In fact, Chateau has analyzed Mohave's subconscious avoidance of some contradictory cognitions, which can't help but make Chateau raise a question:
"Is psionic energy really so convenient? Even beyond contradiction, can psionic energy that denies psionic energy also exist?"
In fact, if Sha Duo wants to awaken his spiritual power, he only needs to give him a reason that can convince him. No matter whether the reason conforms to objective laws or not, as long as he accepts it, he might be able to awaken it.
So he continued to pursue the memory fragments in Mojave, and soon he discovered a key piece of information about the [Psychic World]——
It turns out that the world of mental images is not as rare in Zhamdas as it is in the outside world. It is said that Mohave is a master of illusion. In fact, it is entirely because spiritual energy has great blessings in the field of illusion.
The reality is that any psychic master can create his or her own mental image world. The strength of the mental image world is also an important criterion for judging the strength of a psychic master.
In order to make the mental world more powerful, Mojave discovered a big secret that other psychic masters may have discovered, but no one dared to mention it publicly——
The closer the shaping of the mental image world is to the real world, the more powerful the mental image world will be.
Chateau further speculated that the proximity that Mojave recognizes may not be the proximity of superficial landscapes, but the proximity of deep-seated rules. From this perspective, psychic energy does not exist completely divorced from reality.
Continuing to pursue along this line, Sha Duo soon discovered that there were no associated memory fragments in front of him. The process of forced projection and the process of shattering consciousness would damage the integrity of the consciousness information in it.
The latter will be more serious. Crushing consciousness essentially destroys the soul projection of the copy of consciousness. In the process, a large amount of information will dissipate before Sha Duo can analyze it.
Therefore, it is very important to find the key node. Perhaps simply looking at the countless memory fragments after a hundred copies of consciousness are crushed is not as good as finding a key node in the memory fragments of one copy of consciousness.
For example, Xia Duo has lost the clue now, but he has found a very useful memory context before, so he just needs to find a way around it.
No matter how bad the situation is, you can reopen the dungeon. Not every process of shattering consciousness will result in the loss of the same information. You can always piece together relatively complete information by trying a few times.
Crushing consciousness to search for memory fragments may seem hopeless, but in fact it is far more effective than direct interrogation, which is essentially a conscious dialogue between the interrogator and the person being interrogated.
If the interrogator is proficient in psychic magic, he may be able to discern some secrets from the other party's subconscious activities.
But facing a psychic master, and a psychic master who is intertwined with other personalities, it is almost difficult to get effective results by asking directly. This is something Xia Duo will verify every time he reopens the dungeon.
After all, it is much easier to get the answer just by asking than to laboriously analyze a large number of memory fragments. It's just that Mojave will not let Shaduo get his wish every time.
To be effective, it still requires brute force cracking. According to Xia Duo's experience, about 20% to 30% of the information will be lost during the cracking process.
Its essence is to completely disassemble the target's consciousness. If Shado has a team, he can completely analyze all the consciousness information in Mojave.
Even if he is alone and only focuses on the key points, the information obtained is definitely several orders of magnitude higher than that obtained through conscious dialogue.
“It’s just a bit harder, but gold mining itself is also a joy!”
This is not about finding joy in hardship, but the happiness after discovering the treasure completely covers 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 pursue until all the memory fragments dissipate, and then open a new copy of consciousness. First try direct interrogation. If no results are obtained, follow the usual routine of crushing the consciousness to search for memory fragments.
In this way, after many back and forths, before the soul fragments that were stripped out as the carrier of Mojave consciousness were completely exhausted, Shado had sorted out most of the content related to psychic energy in Mojave consciousness. .
Similar to his later speculation, the world of mental images is not just a convenient tool that can be used to attack opponents, but more like a concentrated expression of the psychic mage's personal cognition and thoughts.
At the same time, it is also a vital link in Zhamdas’ psychic magic system!
Any intelligent species that takes the initiative to go to Zhamdas, or is conquered by Zhamdas, will have the opportunity to awaken their psychic powers, and during the awakening process, they will undergo a ceremony to receive the baptism of an artifact.
To outsiders, it might seem that the artifact inspired the baptized's spiritual gifts and gave them a special talent, and this was indeed the case.
But what outsiders don’t know is that the process of receiving the baptism of the artifact is essentially a process of assimilation of thoughts and cognitions. This has a more professional name among the group of Zhamdas psychic scholars, called - "Heart" Can be shared”!
The artifact connects a certain essence of all the baptized people. Among them, the psychic master can dedicate part of his thinking and the mental image world he created to the mental image world of the artifact when his own body and soul die.
Whenever a new artifact is born, with the help of the surge of mental energy at the time of its birth, the echoes of the thoughts of the deceased psychic masters preserved in the old artifacts have the opportunity to bring their mental world back to reality and be completely resurrected. .
Therefore, it can be easily believed that the world of mental images or the twelve artifacts are the roots of Zhamdas's psychic magic system.
