"In fact, I suspect the ’Guiding Star’ is not merely a simple Heart Light Body... Its original form might not have been , but rather a ’multi-layered heart light complex’ optimized, constructed, and manufactured by generations of Ian Echoes, transmitted across parallel space-time into my hands. In other words, it is unique."
"How much power is needed to transmit information... At my current Third Energy Level, I can probably send over a paper and some thoughts. In terms of memory, it’s only a few days’ worth... Obviously, the Third Energy Level isn’t enough. It completely lacks the fundamental information volume needed to form an ’Echo.’ At the very least, it requires a peak Fourth Energy Level or even a Fifth Energy Level ’Ian’ to transmit a stream of information sufficient to create an ’Echo.’
"Perhaps it also requires the full assistance of the ’Rites of the Star Gods’ and the power of the ’Great Aether Circulation.’
"As for what information the last generation Ian transmitted to me..."
Closing his eyes, Ian pondered deeply, "I must have forgotten a lot. But those are unimportant things."
"Indeed, this is the blindness of knowledge. Without discovering this matter, no matter how much I think, I can’t conceive of it."
Raising his hand, gazing at his fingers, the white-haired youth murmured, "With my intelligence and the degree of modification of Earth’s Humans, I should have been able to remember many fragmented pieces since I was three months old, and then quickly possess nearly normal memory, just lacking the ability to analyze its logic."
"In other words, I actually have all the memories from my childhood... Theoretically, even if I wet the bed at eight months, I should remember the damp feeling when I woke up."
"But all those memories are gone, I only remember some key fragments—the emotion of seeing the starry sky for the first time, the joy of learning knowledge for the first time, the dream of deciding to become a rocket engineer for the first time, the determination to head to the ends of the sky and become humanity’s pioneering star for the first time..."
"Hmm. Indeed, my previous self couldn’t possibly transmit all memories back; he carefully selected some coherent key memories, using the minimal amount of information to form the most basic personality."
Thinking of this, Ian smiled and shook his head, "This is also a kind of hypnosis, by intercepting partial memories to highlight important characteristics, so that my personality can restore to my most mature and determined state at the fastest speed with the least amount of information."
"A genius design like repeated color block usage and real-time calculation games, using just a few key memory points, allows the highly efficient ambiguity resolution of the human brain to create a very clear personality."
"Ha." Realizing something, Ian even laughed in his heart, "I even forgot how I died myself—only remembering inspecting the rocket nozzle."
"But even if an accident really did happen, and I was turned to ashes by the uncontrolled rocket plume, I should remember some legacy before death—there are several seconds of internal confirmation and adjustment time before the rocket enters the start-up phase, and this is something that can’t be skipped."
Apparently, to avoid wasting the ’information volume transmitted across parallel space-time’ as much as possible, the previous ’Ian’ deleted almost all meaningless earthly memories, retaining only Earth’s Ian’s ’professional memory,’ ’key personality-shaping points,’ and ’beliefs.’
Aside from these, ’Former Ian’ left no specific Sublimation Path cultivation method, nor any explanations or instincts.
Ian believes this should be a type of ’directional spirit energy awakening technology.’
In today’s Terra, Spirit Energy Users can already be artificially created.
The Spirit Wisdom Institute’s experiment in the Leyan Territory is just ; they’ve even artificially and directionally manufactured a ’False Prophet’ that meets the ’Relic of the Prophet’ requirements.
In other words, as long as belief is kept pure and thoughts as consistent as possible, an experiment subject similar enough can indeed awaken the same spirit power, at least roughly similar.
Between Ians, similarity is certainly absolute. Being the same person, there’s no need to worry about this variable. This update is available on novel✦fire.net
Thus, the variable lies in the ’extreme desire.’
’Clairvoyant Vision’ might require a ’strong desire for the unknown of the Otherworld,’ with extremely extreme demands on ’ignorance’ and ’intense curiosity’... So, to ensure that the next self can awaken the Clairvoyant Vision, ’Former Ian’ straightforwardly didn’t insert any information.
Ian believes this decision is correct.
Because the ability of ’Clairvoyant Vision’ is more powerful than any documentation and truth... As long as he possesses it, even without the memory of parallel space-time, he can still find the truth of this world.
Moreover, due to the differences between parallel space-times, even if ’Former Ian’ left some key information, the more detailed it is, the higher the possibility of deviation.
It’s unnecessary to place irrelevant information in such a precious stream of data.
Thinking everything through becomes clear.
’Former Ian’ probably had a strength around the Fifth Energy Level, encountered an inevitable defeat, and before his death, through the ’Guiding Star’, delivered his optimized personality model, spirit energy awakening, and seed of a similar Heart Light Body to the ’young’ Ian of a parallel space-time.
