Chapter 294 Essence

Chen Ming has always felt very strange.

He designed the whole process of making An Wuping himself, and he personally experienced every step, and worked it out step by step with the Queen of Insects.

Why did his psychic power combined with the Queen of Insects' psychic power produce such an effect in the end? Why did it become like this?

Why did the psychic power effect extracted by Qianmian have some things that did not exist in the design at all?

Why didn't he feel anything strange when he was controlling the prosthesis of An Wuping?

Even now?

The answers to these questions have always been there.

It's just that Chen Ming didn't understand it before.

Now that he can connect these clues through the "knowledge" in his mind, the answer is about to come out.

An Wuping's psychic power that can be reproduced by Qianmian is a new psychic power born after Chen Ming's psychic power merged with the psychic power of the Queen of Insects.

Psychic power does not appear for no reason.

Only creatures that grow naturally can awaken psychic power.

As a manually created thing, An Wuping only has the psychic powers of the Queen Worm and Chen Ming attached to him. Only the fusion of these two psychics is the source of An Wuping's psychic power.

Chen Ming focused his attention on An Wuping.

He gathered the psychic power fluctuations that he usually used to control An Wuping.

Although it is invisible to the naked eye, in his perception, An Wuping's psychic power fluctuations are entangled in his hands.

It is mainly based on the psychic power of the Queen Worm, and his own psychic power is supplemented, intertwined.

Before, when he didn't know much about psychic power, An Wuping's psychic power fluctuations seemed to Chen Ming to be two psychic powers of the Queen Worm and his own, which were clearly separated and performed their own functions.

But after knowing enough, Chen Ming was able to change his previous thoughts and see that the psychic effects of these two on An Wuping have been completely integrated and cannot be separated.

Even if Chen Ming's subjective consciousness only wants to call on the psychic power of the Queen Worm when controlling An Wuping, his own part of the psychic power will spontaneously follow up due to the nature of the psychic power, and play the complete effect of An Wuping's psychic power.

This situation looks familiar.

He Gu from the Psychic Research Institute of the 14th Corps just gave Chen Ming an example not long ago.

It is an example of a mind-running entity entering the middle and late stages.

He Gu said before that a mind-running entity will be divided into several stages after it appears.

At the beginning, it is the early stage of the mind-running entity.

The various psychic properties and psychic fluctuations that constitute it are independent and clear from each other.

It can correspond to the stage when Chen Ming's psychic power and the Queen's psychic power are clearly separated after An Wuping was created.

And after the mind-running entity enters the middle stage.

The different psychic properties of the mind-running entity will have a preliminary fusion, and one psychic fluctuation can mobilize all the psychic fluctuations of the entity.

It also corresponds to the stage when Chen Ming can mobilize the psychic fluctuations of An Wuping's body with the Queen's psychic fluctuations after he skillfully controls An Wuping.

Chen Ming did not notice this at the time.

The main reason is that when he was controlling An Wuping, his consciousness was directly acting on the entire body, and everything in An Wuping's entire prosthesis was under his control.

Chen Ming's subconscious and instinctive reactions could control the body, so that he could not realize that when he was using one psychic wave, another psychic wave was actually mobilized spontaneously, rather than subconsciously dispatching it to cooperate with the use of psychic energy.

Chen Ming had already adapted to this psychic energy without knowing it.

Even now, looking back, when he first faced the psychic runaway entity and released the light of annihilation.

The way he released plasma was actually not through the organs on his body that came from the Aurora Wind Spirit, but directly dispatched through psychic energy.

Mainly because of habit.

Once you get used to it, you will naturally ignore it.

But anyway, the situation at this stage is exactly the same as what He Gu said.

And after the psychic runaway entity enters the late stage.

Multiple psychic waves will be completely integrated, no longer expressing the original psychic effect, but will generate some psychic waves with unique effects.

Of course, He Gu had said before that most of the special psychic fluctuations that came out like this were concepts that humans could not understand.

But it was obvious that An Wuping's was a form of expression that humans could understand, and it just happened to match the expression of An Wuping's own combat ability.

Although Chen Ming himself felt that it was a bit far-fetched, after all, there were too many coincidences.

But after Chen Ming thought about it, he still thought that the answer was this.

Psychics are people who influence reality with their will.

This was a sentence that the boss had said to him at the beginning.

He also agreed with it very much.

Qianmian was able to retain his consciousness after becoming a psychotic entity, which put into the ground what He Gu said that the consciousness of a psychic was dead after becoming a psychotic entity.

Then why couldn't he transform the psychic energy in An Wuping, the psychotic entity, into what he wanted to see?

An Wuping's psychic energy is the psychic energy of the psychotic entity, which just happened to explain Qianmian's situation.

That's why Qianmian can copy An Wuping's psychic energy in normal state, but in the psychotic state, he died directly after absorbing An Wuping's psychic energy.

The reason is very simple, because in normal state, Qianmian's use of psychic energy is simply copying a new psychic energy fluctuation, but this psychic energy fluctuation comes from a psychotic entity.

After entering the psychotic state, Qianmian's psychic energy effect becomes extremely complicated.

But there are still several main psychic energies that stabilize his consciousness and stabilize his psychotic entity.

In this case, replicating An Wuping's psychic energy, which is also the product of the mind runaway, into the mind runaway entity is equivalent to forcibly inserting another foundation into the pit of the foundation.

That is why the body of the thousand-faced mind runaway entity collapsed, and he felt something was wrong at that time.

That is why he said that Chen Ming was a monster.

All these can be matched.

The only thing that does not match is that An Wuping's appearance has not changed.

There is no drastic change in appearance like other mind runaway entities that Chen Ming has seen.

But this can also be explained.

You only need to trace the roots back for a while, to about two years ago.

The moment Chen Ming just woke up from the abandoned mining space station, the moment he just came to this world.

Chen Ming is not a pure time traveler, nor a pure native.

It is an existence formed by combining the similar memories and life experiences of the two. The two different minds have long been completely integrated together.

This statement seems...no different from the mind runaway entity.

They are all psychic-related entities of different natures fused together.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Ming is, in a sense, a psychotic entity.

This is not a feeling Chen Ming has just now.

He had a similar idea before.

When he first encountered a psychotic entity some time ago.

Chen Ming asked He Gu about the specific triggering conditions of the psychotic entity.

He Gu said that if a psychic has a variety of psychic-related things of different natures, including the psychic's own spiritual nerves, it is possible for the psychic to go psychotic.

Before, Chen Ming had four spiritual stones on him, Whisper, Fear, Infatuation, and Words of Madness.

A neutral revolver, and a bone sword that Chen Ming had seized from the Black Mist psychic but had never found a suitable place to use.

If you count more strictly, the psychic fluctuations of the Queen of Insects can be counted.

The boat spirit and the small stone are not counted.

After all, the boat spirit and Chen Ming's psychic energy are of the same origin.

And Xiaoshi's psychic power was not completely controlled by Chen Ming like the psychic power of the Queen Worm. Chen Ming didn't even know what psychic power Xiaoshi had.

But even if Xiaoshi and the boat spirit were not counted, Chen Ming had already possessed countless psychic materials of different natures.

At that time, he felt that something was wrong. He should have gone on a mental rampage, but in fact, he didn't.

Does this mean that his situation is special?

Chen Ming's previous idea was finally confirmed today.

He is a special person.

Otherwise, with so many different kinds of psychic-related things on his body, he would have become a mental rampage entity.

No, he has become a mental rampage entity, so he can continue to remain the same in so many kinds of psychic-related things.

Everything makes sense.

Since Chen Ming is a mental rampage entity, it seems that there is no problem for the psychic power of the mental rampage entity to merge with a new psychic power belonging to the Queen Worm.

There is also no problem if the performance of the new psychic power can be understood by people.

Although Chen Ming seemed to have expelled himself from the human race, other people didn't know this, so it was not unacceptable to him.

After all, if we trace back to the source, isn't his crossing similar to dimensional infection?

They are all one dimension invading another dimension,

but the dimensional infection from the scarlet dimension is more brutal.

And Chen Ming's dimension only sent him here.

Of course, Chen Ming couldn't be completely sure about the places related to these dimensions, and could only guess, after all, he didn't know enough about dimensions.

He just had a certain understanding of psychic power after briefly entering the scarlet dimension.

However, since the crack leading to the scarlet dimension has been left in his consciousness space, and he has mastered a certain amount of dimensional power.

Even the crack in his consciousness space station has no psychic fluctuations infected by the dimension leaking out, and all the dimensional power has been completely absorbed by the consciousness space, and will not affect the outside world at all.

Then as long as he can continue to exercise this power, he will be able to figure out things related to the dimension sooner or later.

After Chen Ming made a thorough summary of his abilities.

One body and two prostheses returned to their posts.

The body continued to coordinate the development process.

The prosthesis of the 14th Legion picked up the terminal that he accidentally dropped on the ground when his mental power was exhausted.

Chen Ming remembered that the terminal had rang just when he was lying on the ground.

He glanced at the person who had just called and immediately called back: "Sorry, President, I was busy and missed the call. What's up?"

The president's tone was much more relaxed than before, and he said: "There are two pieces of news, good and bad..."

Before the president asked which piece of news Chen Ming wanted to hear, Chen Ming answered first: "Okay."

"Okay."

"Just now, the psychic fluctuations of the psychic with brainwashing hypnosis ability called the receiver in Zuo Jing disappeared."

"After being uncontrolled, almost all of those who were originally controlled by his psychic power chose to surrender. You should have seen it, right?"

After hearing this, Chen Ming immediately called up the video recordings of the Yuhui Fleet he deployed at the edge of various galaxies.

Just now, when he controlled An Wuping to arrive at the face of the meat mountain that the receiver had turned into.

The receiver chose to let the fleet of the Luxi galaxy with Prometheus as the flagship take the initiative to attack the outside world, and all the people controlled by him launched a desperate charge like crazy.

After Chen Ming and the consciousness space fought a life-and-death battle with the recipient.

The recipient's psychic power failed, and the people in the fighting fleets naturally woke up.

Most of the rational people chose to cease fire and retreat, unload their weapons, and surrender.

The irrational people, of course, became a bunch of fireworks.

"I understand."

After confirming the good news that the Luxi galaxy had been completely under the control of the Fifth Legion and order had regained the upper hand, Chen Ming asked: "What about the bad?"

The president said: "Before the recipient's psychic fluctuations disappeared, a large number of dimensional infected psychic fluctuations appeared deep underground in the power tower, and these psychic fluctuations were completely leaked out."

"The entire planet has been completely infected, and it is estimated that the number of people who may survive is no more than 0.01%."

"..."

Chen Ming was silent.

He actually knew this news.

When he was fighting with the recipient, before entering the consciousness space, the dimensional infection had already begun to leak.

At that time, he had no choice but to speed up as much as possible. However, even if he speeded up, the winner was decided in just 5 minutes after he met the recipient.

But this speed was still a step too slow.

The president was unlikely to hear too much from Chen Ming's silence. He continued: "The Fifth Legion speculated that An Wuping killed Zuo Jing's psychic, and during the battle, the recipient leaked the dimensional infection, which led to the fall of the entire planet from the industrial zone."

"Not many people will survive, it's a pity."

"But we don't have to worry about Zuo Jing continuing to use the dimensional infection to make trouble, and we don't have to worry about the Fifth Legion creating some new troubles for the power of dimensional infection."

"But the Fifth Legion seems to be very angry. I wonder if there will be some small moves in other aspects."

The goodwill that Chen Ming had accumulated from cooperating with the Fifth Legion some time ago had already completely disappeared because of their behavior: "I don't think we need to care about the attitude of the Fifth Legion. They are just a legion. The key is the attitude of the empire."

The president is obviously also at the level of the empire. The person who has contact with him said, "The Empire doesn't care. It's best to get that power. If they can't get it, it doesn't matter as long as there are no subsequent troubles."

"Otherwise, the top psychics with the Empire background would have gone to grab this power long ago."

Chen Ming suddenly had a question: "Uh... Speaking of this, why didn't the Empire send top psychics to grab this power?"

"The combat power of those psychics in Zuo Jing should not be top-notch, right? It seems that they can't face the boss, why doesn't the Empire directly send psychics of sufficient level?"

The president explained: "It's a very simple truth. Using a top psychic to exchange for a power with uncertain specific negative effects, or negative effects related to dimensional infection, do you think this business is profitable?"

"It's indeed not profitable."

"So there's nothing wrong with handing this kind of thing over to your subordinates, right?"

"Indeed."

Seizing power is not destroying it. Seizing power requires getting close to it in person. It is not that you can just kill the left-handed psychic with psychic effects from a distance.

If there was a psychic of the same level as the boss who participated in this matter and arrived under the power supply tower.

Then Chen Ming really couldn't say whether the rift leading to the scarlet dimension created by the recipient before his death would kill the psychic.

After all, Chen Ming knew that he was a special person. His psychic power was related to his scarlet dimension from the beginning, so he was able to come back alive after his consciousness entered the scarlet dimension for nearly a second.

But it's really hard to say for others.

The backup left by Zuo Jing will really pose a great threat to other psychics.

That's why the empire has such an attitude.

Since the matter was over, Chen Ming did not say much about it, but just asked another question: "How top-notch are the top psychics? Are there specific levels of psychics?"

The president asked back: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I heard from others that I am a level 5 psychic. I am curious and asked."

"Oh, it's not that I can't tell you."

"Let me briefly talk about it from the lowest to the highest."

"Level 1 psychics are psychics who have just awakened. They only know the effects of their own psychic powers and perform some basic psychic effects."

"Level 2, distance It has been a while since the psychic awakening, and you can skillfully use the basic psychic effects and start further psychic development. "

"Level 3, usually the psychic has entered the final stage of development, and you can start horizontal development and expand the application direction of psychic."

"Level 4, single-person city destruction."

"Ah?"

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment and made a puzzled sound: "Isn't this a bit too jumpy?"

The president said affirmatively: "No problem, that's how it is divided. The first three levels are all in the development stage. The psychic of level 4 is secretly whether he can destroy the city alone. Only in this way can Psychics with the ability to destroy planets have further value."

"Take you as an example. When you control your first cruiser, you can be considered a level 4 psychic. A cruiser can destroy a city on the surface."

"When the number of fleets you control exceeds the defense force of a normal planet, you can be considered the next level, which is level 5."

"Level 5, psychics with the initial ability to destroy planets by themselves can be included here."

"This is your current level, and there is also the level of An Wuping, who I mentioned to you several times recently."

"The next level is level 6, which is Galaxy level, a single person's psychic power can affect the entire galaxy and can be classified as a single person destroying a galaxy. "

"I, Wu An, and Hu Yi can all be counted in this category, and Yan Xiong, who was killed by you not long ago, is also in this category."

"You killed a level 6 psychic with the strength of a level 4 psychic close to a level 5 psychic. At that time, it caused quite a stir, and many people started to pay attention to you from that time."

"But Wu An helped you to block all kinds of troubles, so you may not feel anything."

Chen Ming actually knew what the president was talking about.

After all, at that time, he was carrying the three titles of "Yuhui's natural enemy", "the best symbol of opposing Zuo Jing", and "level 6 psychic was killed by a level 4 psychic" as he knows now.

Even though the boss had prevented his information from being leaked in various ways to prevent him from standing out in the forest, there were still a lot of news flying around.

He knew this very well, so he always respected the boss Chen Ming.

Of course, this is Chen Ming's own business. He still wants to say: "I understand the reason, but is Yan Xiong really level 6?"

The president said: "Reaching the edge of level 6 is also level 6, staying at level 6 for ten years is also level 6, Yan Xiong has indeed reached the edge of the galaxy level."

Since the president said so, Chen Ming did not continue to refute: "Then what about above?"

"No, there are no higher-level psychics yet, but there is a grading in the setting, which is the star zone level. You can just treat the level of our psychics as the scale of the government level of our empire and use it directly."

Chen Ming asked: "That is to say, the ability of a level 7 psychic can cover a Star region, the ability of a level 8 psychic can cover a star region? "

"Something like that, but there is no specific classification, don't talk about it in a formal occasion."

"I won't say this in a formal occasion, right?"

The president smiled and said, "Don't underestimate yourself, you have the potential."

"By the way, you have to remember that although the classifications I told you are recognized, they are only a judgment level for the scope and general effect of psychic power, for reference only."

"The actual combat ability does not depend on this, the fight between you and Yan Xiong is the best example."

"Well, that's it, that's all I have to say."

"Once this planet is cleaned up and the dimensional infection is confirmed to have been completely eradicated, our mission will be over."

"Wait a minute."

Chen Ming suddenly interrupted: "I remember that An Wuping experienced a dimensional infection, right? Does that mean..."

"Yes... but we can't stop it."

The president's tone was also full of helplessness: "The authority of this matter is basically in the hands of the Fifth Legion later."

"They said they would stop An Wuping, but they let An Wuping go, and even let him run to the Luxi Galaxy easily."

"I even heard that An Wuping ran to the Luxi Galaxy in front of the fleet that the Fifth Legion came to intercept."

"We can only hope that two dimensional infections on the same person will not lead to more serious consequences."

In fact, An Wuping's body has actually been replaced by Chen Ming, and the overall state is still in a state of having experienced a dimensional infection.

But other people don't know, so Chen Ming has to find a way to confirm the mouth to avoid problems.

"What should we do with An Wuping?"

"I don't know. My suggestion is to recruit him."

"But as far as I know, the parties involved in the Luxi galaxy have not yet discussed a suitable result."
