Chapter 838 How Could Ian Have Such an Inconvenient Name! (8200, Please Vote for Me!)

"I might as well be Echo."

Ian motioned for Ethan and Xiou to rest aside first. After he wanted to be alone and quiet, he sat next to the body of the dark gold dragon body, thinking about this problem.

The heat released by the dragon began to gradually decrease, the scalding boiling water began to cool down again in the ice dragon's lair, and the white-haired boy's briefly agitated mind gradually calmed down.

"My heart-light body, the guiding star, can send all kinds of data and information to myself in parallel time and space."

"When I'm about to die, I can pass on some of my memories, skills and mental models to the next 'Ian'."

"In a sense, I have created my own 'mirror' or 'echo'."

"And so it becomes something worth thinking about."

"Am I the 'mirror' or 'echo' created by the previous 'former Ian' who held the light body of 'Guiding Star' after the failure?"

"So far, I am."

"Moreover, this cycle of mirrors and echoes has probably gone on many times."

After clearing his thoughts, Ian raised his head thoughtfully, and then laughed: "It doesn't matter whether there is an echo or not. My psychic ability seems to be a bit powerful."

"interesting!"

It only took two seconds to complete ‘Am I an Echo? ! (Shocked)’ ‘I am the echo… (Thinking)’ ‘I am the echo! (smiley thumbs up) transformation.

At this moment, Ian was enthusiastically unfolding his psychic and mental body observations.

In fact, Ian has long had doubts about his psychic abilities and mind-light body, and has had a premonition about the name 'Echo'.

When he discovered that his 'predictive vision' could easily check the possibility and direction of most events without delay, Ian had some doubts as to whether there really was such a convenient prophetic power...

Although it is extremely powerful, it is more like a 'premonition' than a prophet, a warning of déjà vu based on 'experience'.

What really looks like a prophet in the precognitive vision is actually a 'precognitive dream'.

The two prophetic visions of the insect nest and the spiritual disaster, no matter which one is shown to others alone, is enough to prove their identity as prophets... But Ian can know two, and the probability limit is far more than two.

But this precognitive dream may also be a derivative of the ability of "parallel time and space observation".

And the "Guiding Star" of the Heart Light Body directly transformed into the parallel time and space Ian Platform. Such an outrageous Heart Light Body, even if it does not have any direct combat power, is still a bit too powerful.

Of course, at that time, Ian did not think that he was "the stronger but failed Ian in the parallel world, the echo of himself thrown into other parallel time and space."

He just felt that his ability was a bit too powerful, not like what ordinary third-level people could have.

What really makes Ian suspect that he may be related to the 'Echo' is actually his extraordinary and unparalleled wisdom and talent!

"Looking back carefully, when I was on Earth, I was already considered a young hero. I was invited to participate in the maintenance of colonial rockets just after graduation. After getting this qualification, I will have no trouble no matter which company or research laboratory I go to in the future, even if I go to the Seventh Machinery It’s easy to get a job at the Ministry of Industry, the real center of the federal space industry!”

Ian murmured in his heart, his eyes sharp: "But even with such an achievement, he is just a 'first-class scholar'. Having one or two visible research and developments in a lifetime is considered the limit. Distance can create a system and create an era of contemporary society." There is still a lot of difference between a master and a pioneer.”

"Furthermore, I was actually very autistic on Earth. I could alienate other people and focus on my own career... At that time, I actually hated talking to other people. Although I had developed my social skills, if If you can’t say it, don’t say it.”

"But in Terra, I not only became a pioneer, I even had interpersonal relationships at my fingertips, and could easily capture the favor of others - appearance is indeed key, but in general, I am no longer 'isolated'..." "

"On the contrary, I actually like communicating with people now, especially giving pointers to others. This is how I can teach others."

"My personality has certain deviations before and after my awakening!"

In fact, it’s not just wisdom and character. Ian is also sure that his obsession with ‘high above’ is also quite pathological to some extent.

yes. In the continent of Terra, faith must be so firm as to be regarded as 'morbid' by ordinary people, in order to condense the light body... But Ian is born with such firmness. If he were on Earth, he would have been regarded as paranoid and sent to prison. Went to a psychiatrist for treatment.

Earth Ian is indeed very close to the danger line, but at least he is a normal person who has passed the test.

So here comes the really important question.

"By default, I am the echo. So, how did the previous generation of 'Ian' convey information? How powerful is the power required to convey information? What information did he convey to me?"

Ian clarified his thoughts, and he asked and answered questions one by one: "Of course I rely on the 'Guiding Star' of the Heart Light Body. This is obviously a very rare, even 'only' Heart Light Body. Otherwise, two guides Stars can communicate with each other much more efficiently than I am now searching for transactions world by world."

"I even suspect that the 'Guiding Star' is not a simple heart-light body... Its original appearance may not be like this, but a 'multiple heart-light complex' optimized, constructed and manufactured by generations of Ian Echoes. The result delivered to me through parallel time and space. In other words, it is unique.”

"How much power is needed to transmit information... I am currently at the third energy level. I can probably transmit a paper and some ideas. If converted into memory, it only takes a few days... Obviously, the third energy level is not possible. It It does not have the basic amount of information to form an 'echo' at all. At the very least, 'Ian' must be at the peak of the fourth energy level or even the fifth energy level in order to deliver the information flow that is enough to form an 'echo'."

"Perhaps, we also need the help of the complete 'Gift of the Star God' and the power of the 'Great Aether Circulation'."

"As for what information the previous generation of Ian conveyed to me..."

Closing his eyes, Ian thought hard: "I should have forgotten a lot of things. But those are unimportant things."

"Sure enough, this is a barrier of knowledge. If I didn't discover this, I wouldn't have thought of it no matter how much I thought about it."

Raising his hand and staring at his fingers, the white-haired boy murmured to himself: "With my intelligence and the degree of transformation of humans on earth, I should be able to remember many scattered fragments starting from three months, and then soon He has a memory that’s close to that of an ordinary person, but he doesn’t have the ability to analyze its logic.”

"In other words, I actually have all the memories of my childhood... Theoretically, even if I wet the bed once when I was eight months old, I can still remember the feeling of dampness in the bed when I woke up."

"But these memories have disappeared. I only remember some of the most critical fragments - the first time I saw the starry sky, the first joy of learning knowledge, the first time I made up my mind to become a rocket engineer, the first time I decided to To go to the end of the sky and become a distant star for mankind to open up the frontier..."

"Yes. As expected, it was impossible for me in my previous life to transfer all my memories back. He carefully selected some coherent key memories to form the most basic personality with the least amount of information."

Thinking of this, Ian smiled and shook his head: "This is also a kind of hypnosis. By intercepting part of the memory, it highlights the important personality, so that my character can be restored to my most mature and mature state as quickly as possible and with the least amount of information. That moment of determination.”

"The perfect design is like a genius, just like a game that reuses color blocks and real-time calculations. With only a few key memory points, a very clear personality can be created through the efficient fuzzy interpretation of the human brain①. "

"Ha." As if he noticed something, Ian even laughed in his heart: "I even forgot how I died - I just remember that I was checking the rocket nozzle."

"But even if it was an accident and I was turned into ashes by the out-of-control rocket tail flames, I should still remember some of the legacy before my death - before the rocket enters the startup phase, there are several seconds of internal determination and adjustment time. , there’s no way to skip this.”

Obviously, in order not to waste the amount of information transmitted across parallel time and space as much as possible, the previous 'Ian' deleted most of his meaningless memories of the Earth, and only retained the 'professional memory' of Ian of the Earth. Key Character Shaping Points' and 'Beliefs'.

Apart from this, ‘former Ian’ did not leave behind any specific practice methods for the path of sublimation, nor any explanations or instincts.

In this regard, Ian believes that this should be a 'directional psychic awakening technology'.

In today's Terra, psykers can be created artificially.

This was the case with the Gnosis Academy's experiments in the Ryan Territory. They even artificially created a 'pseudo prophet' that met the requirements for a 'prophet's relic'.

In other words, as long as the beliefs are pure and the thinking is as consistent as possible, then as long as the experimental subjects are similar enough, the same spiritual energy can be awakened, at least roughly similar.

The resemblance is definitely resemblance between Ian. As they are the same person, there is no need to worry about variables in this area.

Then, the variable lies in the aspect of ‘extreme desire’.

What 'precognitive vision' requires may be 'a strong desire to know nothing about another world', and it has extremely extreme requirements in terms of 'knowing nothing' and 'strong curiosity'... So in order to ensure the next life He could awaken the precognitive vision, but 'Ex-Ian' simply didn't put in any information.

Ian thinks this decision is the right one.

Because the ability of 'precognitive vision' is more powerful than any information and truth... As long as he holds it, he can still find the truth of this world even without the memory of parallel time and space.

What's more, due to the differences in different parallel time and space, even if there is any key information left by 'former Ian', the more precise it is, the greater the possibility of errors.

There is no need to put irrelevant information in such a precious information stream.

In this way, everything is figured out.

'Ex-Ian''s strength was around the fifth energy level, and he encountered a dilemma of inevitable defeat. Before his death, he used the 'Guiding Star' to transform his optimized personality model, awaken spiritual energy and similar mental light. The body's seeds were delivered to 'young' Ian in parallel time and space.

Although he does not carry any 'innate knowledge about Terra', Ian's constantly fine-tuned 'curiosity and firm belief' can ensure that he grows up. After all, even without the blessing of Echo, the original Ian is very good. He is smart and can be regarded as a genius. With echo, he becomes even more powerful.

Every time an echo is passed on, each 'ex-Ian' will fine-tune his own 'thinking model', that is, the 'structure of the echo' based on his own failures...

So until now, the current Ian has obvious differences from the original Ian on Earth.

At this moment, in the ice dragon's lair, all the boiling water that had originally melted had condensed into ice. The ice layer mixed with some cave impurities was like a mirror, reflecting the face of the white-haired boy who was bowing his head in contemplation.

And when Ian stared at the ice mirror, the face of the white boy seemed to have changed into the original appearance of the black-haired young man.

‘Ian of Terra’ and ‘Ian of Earth’ looked at each other.

Who is the real Ian?

"Both."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ian thought fluently: "I made up my mind to transform myself, and I passed on my information to myself in parallel time and space - this is not the same as making up my mind to study hard and transform my originally lazy self into a diligent one. the difference."

"I am myself in that parallel time and space, and I have no objection."

“My ex-Ian and I have come to an understanding.”

"I am him and he is me."

The definition of self is never that complicated.

In Ian's view, the so-called self, the so-called free will, is that simple.

——The Ian who lost the future in the past and had to turn himself into an echo and transmit it to other parallel times and spaces was me.

——The future one may also lose the future, and I will continue to pass on this echo and send it to the Ian in the hearts of others.

——As for now, the Ian who is struggling and striving to ‘win’ is myself, and there is no doubt that it is me!

[——How can Ian have such an inconvenient name! 】

[——The past is complex, the future is various, the present is endless, all parallel time and space, all Ians are part of me! 】

The past and the future are united! What I am is me, the only one in all worlds!

Ian feels that this matter is not complicated at all. People who struggle simply do not have enough spiritual realm. Such people cannot awaken spiritual energy at all, nor can they reach the third level.

Not to mention, Ian also saw the corpse of the ‘Forerunner’ in this former era of alien research institute.

The other party dismantled and separated himself, and extracted the 'Star Glory', 'Light Body' and 'Source Soul' to give to future generations... Isn't this a kind of inheritance similar to his passing on the 'Echo'?

Couldn't he, Ian, be unable to handle such a great trust and inheritance?

Absolutely!

"Every me is me, and all me who walk on this road are me - when I can win once, I can share all the experience of victory with others."

Muttering to himself like this, Ian fully understood the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He nodded slightly: "The only problem is that the ability to interfere with parallel time and space is not unique to me."

"The Star God can do it...and the Demon of Finality is currently unknown, but it shouldn't be that powerful."

"Otherwise, as long as the Demon of Ending interferes, I won't be able to deliver the message..."

"Forget it, if you don't think about this, there is no point in worrying."

“Let’s try to win once!”

Determination becomes more pure and firm.

With his eyes lowered, the white-haired boy stretched out his hand, gently touched the ice mirror in front of him, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work..."

"I will do my best to put an end to these echoes and make this the last 'reincarnation'!"

The appearance of 'Earth Ian' disappeared and he turned back into a white-haired boy.

Ian stood up.

At this moment, he didn't feel that he had a 'retreat' because of his ability to 'transmit echoes to the next life'.

Parallel time and space are independent of each other. When he fails, even if he is still alive in other parallel time and space, his world will definitely fall into despair, and all his relatives and friends will fall into the end.

This so-called retreat is actually a helpless compromise, a 'sacrifice' of giving up the present and leaving hope for the future.

‘Ian’ is not that powerful. He cannot defeat powerful enemies in one go, nor can he clear the ‘game’ in one go.

But he is 'firm' enough.

He is so determined that he can 'sacrifice' himself to pave the way for the next 'self'.

This road of sacrifice was forged by his own bones and blood. Ian walked without hesitation. This was his belief.

Moreover, this time, Ian's heart... felt a strong sense of confidence!

——This time I am special!

Teacher Hilliard, the insect swarm in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, the secret of the dragon nest in the Leian Territory, the gains and connections in the Imperial Capital, the spiritual disaster and prison star prison in Avak Laboratory, the territory and perfection of the Byson Mountains The arcane path, meditation method and elemental furnace heart, all kinds of technologies that can change the world...

So far, he has defeated the last echo and discovered the truth about his psychic powers and talents before he even reached the age of twenty!

Everything is the best choice. With the precognitive vision and the guiding star, Ian is now on the road of 'perfection' in 'reincarnations' again and again!

Look at the rest of Ian.

Insect nests, spiritual disasters, and even other ‘Ian’ who may have died long ago...

They all lack the necessary key elements for development, and they are all worse than themselves.

And not only did he overcome all the difficulties and obstacles, but he also had the "Spirit of the Sea of ​​Trees" to help him check for omissions and obtain elements that he might have missed before.

The most important thing is never experience and technology...

Ian can obtain and develop those things with his own abilities.

What is really important is the complete ideas and way of thinking obtained through his own research. This is what 'former Ian' wants Ian to get.

A kind of ‘wisdom’!

"Every battle is very important."

Walking towards Ethan and Xiou, Ian originally planned to tell his companions who were meditating with their eyes closed and recovering their strength that he had solved the problem.

They are ready to go.

However, the next moment, the young man discovered it.

The 'Soul of Source' placed in his arms began to heat up and tremble.

This kite-shaped 2tetrahedron, about the size of a man's fist, exuded light cyan light and was taken out by Ian.

[Core component detected: Soul of Source]

[Status: intact/split]

[——Thousands of hearts, united into one... We turned into nothingness]

Unlike the body of light, the soul of source was not accepted as soon as it was accepted by Ian, but fell into a 'downtime' state for a period of time.

It was useless for Ian to use the silver chip to connect directly, and the body of light could not do anything. It completely stopped for a while.

Ian believes that this may be because the soul of the echo is extremely special. After all, the soul structure of millions of different echoes must be different from ordinary life, so it will take a while.

But he didn't expect that this period of time would be so short.

"Well?"

The second time he tentatively touched the source soul with the silver chip, Ian saw that the cyan gem immediately turned into a warm ripple of light and merged into his forehead.

There is the part that Ian wrapped with a blue scarf... It is also where the mark of the 'Dead King' is located!

It was at this moment that the originally pale rhombus-shaped mark of the Dead Lord began to change under the power of the Soul of the Source... and turned into an extremely complicated polyhedron, and the middle of the polyhedron was still the original rhombus-shaped mark.

Immediately afterwards, Ian heard the feedback from the silver chip.

[Giant biological spirit database detected...named 'Last Echo'...analyze/pause/delete]

"……pause."

Of course, Ian can't choose to delete, but he can't choose to analyze either - the computing power of the silver chip is completely using the computing power of his own soul and brain to analyze the collective memory of five million people and echoes, Ian You're not stupid, how could you do this in such a dangerous situation?

The specific abilities of the Source Soul cannot be revealed until the analysis is completed and the mark of the former owner is separated... But even if it is passive, Ian has already received considerable benefits.

That is ‘soul materialization’.

"The strength of my soul... is increasing rapidly!"

At this moment, Ian covered his eyes, but there was still a dazzling cyan light like the sun leaking out from between his fingers, waking up Ethan and Xiou who were meditating.

If the third energy level 'goblin' naturally advances, its important characteristic is the 'substantialization of the soul'.

The bodies of third-level fairies, as well as sublimation materials, are all made by combining their souls with rare materials bit by bit after they materialize them.

In a sense, fairies are the first race in the world to 'cultivate themselves and become stronger'. Just because of the life characteristics of fairies, their self-cultivation is very similar to scientific and technological weapons.

Ian felt at this moment that his soul was rapidly attaching to his nerves and source material structure, creating a complete set of physical soul networks in his body.

This powerful force penetrated his mind, causing his calculation power to increase rapidly to the point where it was difficult to control.

If Ian hadn't practiced meditation before and had already adapted to a high-computing way of thinking, he might have passed out just now, waiting for the natural transformation of the soul of the source to end!

But because of the meditation method, Ian just shook his head, then raised his head and sighed: "If I didn't have the pioneer authority, ten of me would be crushed by the echo."

"If I can win this time, I really have to thank these two guys, Garr and Aina, for severely damaging Echo... Well, everyone else has to thank you too, not to mention Isencio and you."

He said to his friends who had already stood up. Ethan smiled and shook his head, while Xiou puffed up his chest and said, 'Of course! ’ momentum.

"I had a little problem with my mental light body and prophetic spirit just now, but I have solved it."

Ian said smoothly, and neither Ethan nor Xiou had any doubts.

As for prophets, these psionic holders are more crazy than normal. Even if they are normal, they are still weird. Basically all prophets will occasionally fall into insanity and madness that ordinary people cannot understand.

Ian just suddenly talked to himself and fell into deep thought, which was considered a very safe abnormality.

——It seems that as Ian's strength becomes stronger, the duration of his abnormal state will also become longer.

Isengard thought of this, and he made up his mind: "I have to pay close attention to Ian and take care of him who is in an abnormality... Apart from that, I can't do anything else."

——I feel like Ian has become stronger. As expected of Ian, this person cannot judge with common sense at all.

This is Xio's idea, very simple and direct, without any twists and turns.

"What are we going to do next?"

Isengard asked. He saw Ian leading the two of them towards the 'corpse' of the dark gold dragon, and couldn't help but feel curious: "Do we want to decompose the material of this dragon? But there are only three of us and we don't have alchemy equipment. It will be difficult." Refined and taken away."

"I'm going to strike! I haven't seen the body structure of other dragons yet!"

And Xio doesn't shy away from the fact that he is also a true dragon - true dragons are just races classified by humans. In fact, every true dragon with different civilization origins feels like looking at other true dragons as aliens.

"...How is it possible? The life of a living dragon body is still far from over. Why should I decompose it?"

Ian shook his head. He came to the reverse scale of the dark gold dragon and used the silver chip to link to the dragon.

Then, six eyes lit up, and the body of the dark gold dragon slowly turned around. He crawled on the ground and opened his mouth to the wide-eyed Ethan and Xiou.

"Both of you."

Ian smiled and made a 'please come in' gesture next to the dragon's mouth: "Please throw yourself into the dragon's mouth - the Qiang Steel Dragon's stomach is very large, and it can be used as a cockpit, enough to hold the three of us. "

"When we work together to drive this dragon body, safety is absolutely guaranteed!"

"...Wow." After being stunned for a long time, Ethan made a very rude voice and sighed: "Is there such an operation?"

Then, he immediately became excited: "Okay! I may be the first being in our Ellen family who can really 'parasitize' a real dragon!"

"Thank you, Ian! My childhood dream came true!"

"I am the dragon soul driving prosthetic body." And Xio began to calculate: "And now, my dragon soul driving prosthetic body will enter the body of the dragon as a co-pilot to drive another giant dragon... This It’s a matryoshka doll!”

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry in."

Ian clicked his tongue. He found that his two friends were getting more energetic under his training, but this was not a bad thing.

Because as long as you follow him, the following days will definitely become more and more exciting and shocking.

Enter the dragon body and follow the passage straight into the stomach pouch. Although it is essentially a 'biochemical reactor', under the transformation of Echo, it has actually become a cockpit inside the dragon body, with many functions for communication. The connection line of the entire dragon body.

Ethan and Xiou are still a little uncomfortable with it, but Ian has completely learned it.

"Remember, Ethan."

Using the ability to control iron out of thin air with the 'Chongyuan Iron Core' and the various metal materials stored in his dragon body, Ian pinched out several data connection lines with his bare hands. He came behind the blond boy and said with a smile: " Back in the South China Sea, you still helped me connect the armored signal cables."

"Now it's my turn."

"Now, you are a master in this field." Isengard smiled and recalled: "At that time, your body was so hard that I couldn't even connect the cable. Thinking about it now, That means you can't move the strong city and reveal its flaws... But as long as you don't have that thought in your heart, who can imagine it?"

"This is the inevitable oversight of human consciousness."

By connecting Ethan to the dragon's body, Ian would not really let his friend who knew nothing about how to control the dragon's body fight, but he needed Ethan's computing power to assist him in adjusting the source of energy in the dragon's body. Quality flow.

And this is even more true for Xiou. After all, Ian is not a real dragon. He needs the instinct of Xiou, the real dragon's dragon soul, to better control the body of the real dragon.

He doesn't want to be like Echo, who can only control a dragon body intermittently, and can't defend when attacking... He wants to do his best!

Soon, Ian connected the cables for his friends, and Ethan and Xiou also connected them for him - it was actually not necessary, Ian used a silver chip, which was enough, but there was no need to refuse.

[Linked to the body of the true dragon...Number: Qiang Steel Dragon 02]

In the cockpit, the light gradually dimmed, leaving only three pairs of eyes of different colors flickering.

In Ian's eyes, the cyan light became brighter and brighter, while a silver halo lingered around him.

At the same time, the silent dark gold dragon also opened its six dragon pupils. Deep in the red irises, there was a silvery light flowing like a starry sky.

At this moment, there was another violent shock in the virtual realm. There was no need to think about it. It was definitely the aftermath of the battle between Yafoda and Campani. They were not far away, in several subspace mazes around them.

As of now, the Alien Research Institute is no longer important. For the current Terran civilization, the discord and fighting between the fifth energy levels within Canaan Moore, and the great turmoil called 'Half Moon', are the top priority in this world. event.

The same is true for Ian... Campani is related to the Dark Moon Troubles, and perhaps it is a punishment from God. Now, he has become the protagonist who was betrayed by his own people in the Half Moon Troubles.

Killing Campani was one of Ian's goals.

Although what is in the maze is just a split soul, Xiou could be used to split the soul back then and directly extract the dragon soul and seal it. Yafoda and others must have been prepared long ago to use this split soul to influence, Weaken or even severely damage Campani's body.

But not now.

Now, Ian has only one real purpose.

That is, the 'Marrow of the Blazing Star Dragon', 'Dragon Crystal Storage' and 'Source of Dragon Blood' located in Dragon Bone Square!

"Everyone, let's go!"

Laughing loudly, the prophet went through a hard battle, and together with his friends who were also cheering, activated the body of the true dragon!

Then, the dark golden stream of light turned into a phantom that penetrated the virtual realm and subspace, and flew towards the original source, Dragon Bone Square!

① Contra only took more than 200 kb to complete. The main reason is that the Famicom body is special, and the fuzzy algorithm and brain-complementing memory algorithm of the human brain are also very powerful. It can create a very solid computer through self-fiction. Cognition.

Ian doesn't care about trivial matters like echo or not. All he really cares about is the 'principle'. As long as they accept Ian's way of thinking, everyone can be a 'pioneer'!
