Chapter 1519: Learning from the Subconscious, Mastering the Bloodline

Of course, if one wants simple and convenient operation, it is necessary to let the Conscious Mind take the lead, while the Subconscious still secretly maintains control.

Or, one could shape a Virtual Personality, similar to artificial intelligence, to temporarily take over the body; however, whether this Virtual Personality would interfere with the main consciousness and cause the Spellcaster to develop a split personality is hard to say.

Xia Duo felt it was very likely; after all, the self has a survival instinct. A Virtual Personality can be seen as another self, so why wouldn't it compete with the original self for the right to survive?

At the thought of the potentially disastrous consequences, Xia Duo immediately extinguished the idea of experimenting on himself. Such a suicidal thought should not even be entertained.

……

After briefly testing the state of 【Mechanical Mind】, a thought couldn't help but sprout in Xia Duo's mind: if the Subconscious were allowed to control the Bloodline Ability, what effect would it produce?

The inability to fully control the Bloodline Ability is, to a large extent, actually because this ability requires the cooperation of the Subconscious.

The solution is simple: either practice and adapt for a long time, barely managing to form a type of subconscious memory similar to "muscle memory."

Or, actively integrate that part of the Subconscious, thereby achieving the goal in one step and saving a large amount of time on practice and adaptation.

The more Xia Duo thought about it, the more feasible he felt this idea was. Taking a step back, even if he couldn't control that part of the Subconscious, seeing how the Subconscious does it beforehand would make subsequent practice easier!

If this idea were feasible, besides controlling the bloodline, an absolutely rational Subconscious could also be used to practice Spells and skills, which could likewise save a massive amount of time.

Xia Duo even thought that if research into consciousness were to advance further in the future, could one create consciousness plugins containing Knowledge and skills, to be used immediately upon insertion!

At first, it would be new Knowledge and new skills, but as the consciousness became familiar with them, the plugins would gradually transform into one's own accumulation. Doing this would simply overturn humanity's understanding of learning.

Everyone being a polymath is not just a fantasy.

And the starting point for everything might just be the bloodline control practice Xia Duo is about to attempt now!

……

As the command was issued, Xia Duo only felt his Subconscious surging, and then his body produced some subtle changes that could only be understood intuitively. If he had to practice and search for these changes with his Conscious Mind, he feared he wouldn't be able to find them in a short time.

"Niya, come here for a moment!"

"What is it?"

Niya's voice arrived before she did. Immediately after, the Magic Net within the Spell Practice Room oscillated, and a familiar figure forcibly broke through the teleportation restrictions inherent to the Laboratory, appearing before Xia Duo, asking with a nervous expression:

"What's wrong? Did some kind of accident happen?"

Xia Duo immediately issued a command, controlling his body to smile slightly, but this stiff smile only made Niya more nervous, and she looked ready to cast a Spell to check on him.

Xia Duo hurriedly stopped Niya and explained the reason. It was just that because he was in the 【Mechanical Mind】 state, his behavior was exceptionally strange, and it took a great deal of effort to convince Niya that he was fine.

During this process, Xia Duo also confirmed the fact that the Subconscious is indeed stronger than the Conscious Mind; although Niya appeared very nervous, she was not affected much by the Majesty effect.

After confirming that Xia Duo was truly fine, Niya also discovered this situation and asked in surprise: "Does Mechanical Mind have this effect too?"

"An unexpected gain; I hadn't thought of this before either."

"That's great."

"Don't be happy too soon. This is just a Spell effect. Do you really want to face me in this state from now on?" Xia Duo poured a bucket of cold water on Niya.

Niya's expression immediately turned dejected again. "Then how much longer do we have to practice and adapt? My research on the Communication Mythallar over there has been left hanging! And, and—"

Niya was too embarrassed to say the words that followed, but Xia Duo knew very well that since he returned, the two of them hadn't had many close encounters, let alone shared a room.

"Rest assured, once I fully master the Bloodline Ability, I will actively cooperate with your progress. With so many Spells assisting, I believe you will definitely be able to adapt as quickly as possible!"

"Alright then!"

Niya was still somewhat sullen, but in order to give Xia Duo enough practice time, she still silently exited the Spell Practice Room.

……

In fact, Xia Duo's progress in mastering his bloodline far exceeded his original expectations; even considering "learning from the Subconscious," it was too fast.

Almost on the second day after he began learning from the Subconscious, he was already able to fully control his Bloodline Ability. Of course, this was limited to specific and clear operations like using or stopping it, and did not include the various usages involving inspiration.

But as he had anticipated, even with full control over the Bloodline Ability, it could not completely eliminate the effect of Majesty, because this was an attribute of the body.

Just like height or weight, as long as the body remains that body, these attributes will always exist definitively.

Of course, now as long as he uses a layer of illusion to disguise himself—even if it is just disguising himself as himself—he can completely eliminate the Majesty effect.

For Niya, now that Xia Duo could fully control his bloodline, it was more convenient for her to adapt; she could start from the lightest Majesty effect and gradually increase it.

There was no need to be reckless like before, where adaptation relied entirely on resisting with Spells, but since she couldn't actually withstand it, the adaptation progress never went up.

Under Xia Duo's suggestion, Niya did not give up on 【Mechanical Mind】. After learning this Spell, although she could not learn Subconscious operations as quickly as Xia Duo, she could still significantly reduce her own learning time.

Combined, Niya's adaptation to Xia Duo's Majesty effect became faster and faster.

After all, Majesty itself is not a very violent or coercive Spell, but rather an imperceptible influence; as long as it doesn't hit all at once, it is actually not difficult to adapt to.

Otherwise, why would there be a situation where the more one sees and experiences, the less one is affected!

The essence is that the mind and consciousness have developed a considerable degree of resistance to external interference.

……

Daxia Territory, Lord's Villa.

Xia Duo and Niya were having a rare meal together, and both were enjoying the moment. After the meal, Niya sat quietly beside Xia Duo, feeling and adapting to the special attraction emanating from him.

Xia Duo closed his eyes and began to check the current circulation of the Order Force in the Territory. Having been back for so long and dragged down by various affairs, he had only just managed to find time to deal with this.

Ever since the Grey Eagle Tribe joined, the Territory's development had changed with each passing day, and order and the hearts of the people were changing every moment.

Reflected in the circulation of the Order Force, more and more detailed and brand-new Order Force was being generated, and they were connecting with each other, forming an increasingly tight Order Network.

From the 【Field Allotment System Order Force】 that first completed the Order Cycle, to the later 【Daxia Territory Citizen Moral Code Order Force】 that incorporated the New Natural Philosophy Doctrine (Doctrine is different from theoretical Knowledge) into the system.

And at this moment, Xia Duo's feelings were even more profound.
