Chapter 1367 False Oracle
Lorissa's memory presents two distinct parts - one part comes from her inheritance as a clone. It is not known how the magic emperors completed this kind of cloning, but it is obvious that the technology is very different from the cell cloning on earth. Similarly, they were able to let the clone inherit most of the realm, magic power and memory of the original body. Although the last one was an unpleasant accident for them, this part of the memory is now advantageous to Hao Ren and his friends; Another part of Lorissa's memories came from herself. After she woke up from the incubation tank, until she participated in the last experiment, she witnessed it with her own eyes during the short few years as the "Shadow of the Elf Queen" The picture of that prosperous era is combined with many of her own thoughts and understandings in her memory.
There is a sharp contrast between the two parts of memory in Lorissa's brain. The first part of the memory is incomplete and cold. To her, it is like the black and white image stored in her mind, which lacks reality. She cannot experience any emotional experience of her own. , she can only browse those things from the first perspective like a bystander; the second part of the memory is vivid and detailed, and although it only lasts a few years, it is her entire life so far.
She put the two parts of her memories together and finally restored to Hao Ren the causes and consequences of the experiment that was shrouded in conspiracy and mystery 10,000 years ago.
The beginning of the matter was a day several years before the clone Lolisa was born. At that time, it should also be the eve of the God-killing War. During a grand religious event attended by the four magic emperors of Horleta, the goddess of creation His will came to this remote planet in person.
The Goddess of Creation is not a goddess who is keen on spreading beliefs and creating miracles - she rarely appears on secular planets near her own kingdom, let alone this remote world far away from the center of theocratic power. In Erleta's ancient calendar, the number of times the goddess directly appeared as a projection was only a handful of times. Therefore, one can imagine the impact her sudden arrival had on the magic emperors at that time. In that advent, the goddess mentioned that Horleta's mortal civilization had developed to a certain "passing line", so she would give rewards to mortals, and that prize was the secret of the origin of life.
The magic emperors believed deeply in the promise of the goddess, not only because of their firm belief, but also because of the influence of the historical background: at that time, the Horleta civilization was indeed in a prosperous stage, and they discovered the ability to navigate the universe and the stars. methods of survival, discovered controllable nuclear fusion technology based on magic, and even began to lay the foundation for antimatter technology. They established a huge colony on the moon, and are planning to build a large-scale Dyson sphere project near the sun - these achievements are of great significance to In fact, the truly advanced civilizations in the universe are not very outstanding, but the savage Horleta people in the depths do not know this. They are at the most confident stage in history and believe that their performance is inferior to the many sons of the goddess. The somewhat arrogant idea that the people should indeed be extraordinary made them believe in the "oracle" as a matter of course.
They felt that they were indeed going to receive a gift from the goddess.
Shortly after that, a "Truth Slate" came to the mortal world. Lorissa didn't know the specific process of the arrival of the stone slab, but she guessed that it should have arrived directly in the kingdom of the vampire magic emperor Derian, because it was the one who originally issued the call and established the first laboratory. A powerful vampire king (this is also consistent with the legend passed down to this day in Horleta). Derian obviously did not have the ability to complete the study of the mantra tablets by himself. In addition, the oracle came under the witness of four magic emperors at that time. He would not dare to go against the goddess's holy will, so he handed over the tablets generously. And put forward a plan for joint study by all mortal nations.
Then they interpreted the technology of artificially restraining "divine power" from the mantra tablet, injecting it into source blood, and creating artificial divine cells. The interpretation process was incredibly smooth.
The first experimental base was set up in the "Holy White Valley" at the junction of the Elf Empire and the Blood Empire, but shortly after that, it was moved to the Dark Mountains due to political and economic considerations. The Dark Mountain Range was not called this name back then. It had a more glorious name called "Yongsong Ridge". At that time, there were no dangerous mutated beasts in the mountain range, but there was peace.
As Hao Ren speculated before, in order to create artificial divine cells, there must be an "energy source" that can be contacted and controlled by mortals. Because humans cannot condense or carry divine power out of thin air, this initial container is the goddess. The given mantra tablet: it is not only a document medium for a series of extraordinary technologies, but it is also a carefully crafted "divine energy pool".
The energy pool once stored the power from the goddess of creation - according to Lorissa, it was energy that was carefully processed, precisely weakened, and carefully divided into small "clusters", as if the goddess specially prepared it for her clumsy students. It seems that a batch of experimental materials have been obtained.
But even such carefully processed energy is still too powerful for mortals. The Magic Emperors soon realized this after their initial ambition and passion: all the creatures they selected to participate in the experiment, including animals, Neither the samples nor the human volunteers could withstand the impact of direct contact with the mantra tablets. The weaker ones would have their minds broken even if they just glanced at the words on the tablets. However, some devout priests could barely communicate with the tablets, but they had to be used as tablets. "Container" is obviously still far from qualified.
But it was impossible that the goddess had not considered this when she gave the tablet, so the magic emperors soon discovered that the people who could serve as the "original carrier" were actually on this planet, and that was themselves.
The particularity of Horleta's ancient civilization determined that the magic emperors were the most powerful individuals among mortals, and the stone slab given by the goddess was obviously designed according to this strongest standard.
After confirming this fact, the magic emperors did not choose to take risks, but decided to "make" a container that met the standards to replace themselves.
The clone Lorissa was born under such circumstances - and was the only successful individual to survive stably.
Horleta's clone technology allows the clone to have the same power as the original body, so its success rate is extremely low. Even if several magic empires unite to conduct research with national efforts, only one clone will succeed in the end. Therefore, the clone Lorissa had high hopes from the beginning - even if the Magic Emperor later discovered that she had accidentally inherited part of the memory and personality from the real Lorissa, they also chose to keep the clone after some weighing. .
Because the inherited memory and personality are incomplete and lack "embeddedness", although it will affect the self-perception of the replica to a certain extent, it is not as stable as its own memory and personality. Through acquired guidance, magic can The emperors believed they could get the clone to cooperate, and Lorissa herself behaved that way. Of course, in order for this clone to better cooperate with the experiment, the magic emperors also made a series of promises to her, such as the freedom she can expect, such as the powerful power she can retain after "suffering divine grace"... these things are all there It's a real attraction, but for Lorissa, she actually doesn't care much about it.
Because in a certain way, she can be regarded as half a magic emperor after inheriting the memory of her body. Her interest in exploring the mysterious realm is no less than that of others. Since she has no choice, it seems that she can experience the mystery of the Mantra Slate by herself. It's also a very interesting thing.
When the entire project developed into a substantial stage, she accepted the introduction experiment of "oracle power".
"Their plan is this: The experiment is divided into two parts. One part is to extract the origin material from the source blood and synthesize blank 'divine cells' artificially, and the other part is to introduce the power of the mantra tablet into a certain In the body of a magic emperor or a clone like me, this power can be transformed into controllable energy, and finally the two can be fused to create real activated divine cells," Lolisa took her time. He said, "I fell into a dazed state after accepting the 'introduction experiment', and then quickly lost myself completely. But according to your words, it seems that they finally completed it during the period when I lost consciousness. The rest of the work…”
"Can you complete the transformation of those 'divine powers' even when you are unconscious?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
Lorissa raised her right hand, and a trace of holy flame suddenly rose from it, and then her entire arm became in this blazing burning state.
Then she waved her hand to disperse the flames: "It seems that the transformation of me by divine power has been completed. This process should be guided by the mantra tablet and has nothing to do with my personal will."
"Can you describe what you 'saw' while you were asleep?" Vivian suddenly asked, "It's what you saw deep in the oracle."
"Mortal language cannot describe them," Lorissa shook her head. "It was a super-sensory experience. I came into contact with a huge and twisted consciousness in the haze - or maybe I just passed it from a distance. boundary, but I can be sure that it has a dark and evil nature. This consciousness simulates the power of the goddess, and because it is so powerful, mortals have no way of distinguishing its disguise. Only people like me who witness it with my own eyes can distinguish it. Authenticity. All in all, I am certain of one thing: it is definitely not the real power of the goddess, and the whole thing is a scam from beginning to end."
