Chapter 690

As for the spaceship, the price was just at the average level for a Legendary-grade entry-level, approximately 50 million square World Stones.

"Beep—beep—"

Suddenly, the scanning robot reported, seemingly having discovered another thing.

"Master, a valuable item has been discovered."

"What?" Zhao Xing ran over, picked up the item, and took a look.

This thing looked like a helmet, but the touch was very soft.

"Master, this is a Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device."

"Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device?" Zhao Xing was stunned.

"What grade is it?"

"This model should be Legendary-grade, but its range doesn't seem very large; it can only brainwash up to the Void-grade peak at most," Zero reported.

"To actually get such a thing." Zhao Xing looked at it, finding it very novel.

Zhao Xing had learned about the Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device.

The God Eagle King who had hunted him down across levels had used a Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device to control the Heavenly Eye King.

"What is the difference between a Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device and soul enslavement?" Zhao Xing asked.

"A Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device and soul enslavement have a fundamental difference."

"The former takes a relatively long time to form an inherent cognition."

"Soul enslavement, on the other hand, controls the soul core."

Zero answered.

But this explanation did not satisfy Zhao Xing.

It seems this Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device is not as convenient as soul enslavement.

According to the instructions for the Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device, this thing requires several hundred, or even several thousand years, to successfully brainwash someone.

While soul enslavement is a matter of an instant.

"The difference lies in whether the essence of the soul core changes."

A voice came from the side.

Zhao Xing looked at Qianmu Liuli.

The other party explained: "Soul enslavement will cause the soul core to change."

"Commonly seen in Undead Lords, paths of illusion, and so on."

"However, no matter how clever the method of enslavement is, it will be detected."

"For example, if you enslave a Void-grade Zerg now, it might not be discovered outside, but if you have this Void-grade Zerg servant return to a confidential Zerg location to perform a mission, the abnormality in their soul will be discovered."

"In this regard."

"The Mechanical God Kingdom and the Red Star Empire are more formidable."

"Assuming you are enslaved on the battlefield, you don't need to return; as long as you are soul-enslaved, at that very instant, the virtual world network will mark you with an 'abnormal' characteristic through the change in your soul fluctuations."

"It can even directly judge that you have been enslaved, immediately suspend all your permissions, and strip you of your identity."

"Even if it's just an anomaly, when you return, there will immediately be specialists investigating you."

"Checking your soul core to see if you have been enslaved by a powerhouse."

"Whereas a Thought Stamp cannot be detected."

"Essentially, your soul has no changes; it's just that your thoughts have changed."

"A person's thoughts are inherently unpredictable; this cannot be distinguished."

"However, the degree of brainwashing of a Thought Stamp is a bit more outrageous."

Zhao Xing became interested: "How outrageous?"

"It can invert right and wrong." Qianmu Liuli flicked their palm gently, and a water mass floated in front of Zhao Xing.

"If someone asks you to drink this mass of water, what would be your reaction?"

Zhao Xing looked at it, "I would drink it."

"But a person brainwashed by a Thought Stamp can be set like this: the water is highly toxic."

"They would not drink this cup of water."

Zhao Xing was stunned: "No one would drink highly toxic water, right?"

"No, it is simply this mass of water; it contains nothing, and placed in front of the brainwashed person, they would still think so."

Qianmu Liuli said: "It's not about whether there is toxic water, but that all water would be considered highly toxic and lethal by them."

"Hiss!" Zhao Xing gasped in cold air.

It can actually reach this point?

It is indeed very outrageous.

No wonder the Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device, despite being so inconvenient, still has a market.

"It belongs to items produced from the Ziguang Civilization Relics."

"Later, it was imitated by the Mechanical God Kingdom and the Red Star Empire."

"Initially, when it was discovered, its function was still quite positive, for example, it could give people a firm will."

"Let those whose will is not firm, those who are naturally cowardly… form a belief in victory when facing a racial war!"

"Or, the belief that they will definitely overcome difficulties."

"Thought stamps like this can bring very strong combat power to an army!"

"If an army possesses an unshakable will and the courage not to retreat in the face of death, it becomes very terrifying."

"However, later, this type of weapon was banned."

Zhao Xing nodded; this type of weapon is indeed very terrifying.

Although it has no substantial power, if used in the right place, it can simply cause a disaster.

The God Eagle King was sentenced so severely partly because he used a Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device to deal with neutral races, causing a bad influence.

"Master, then what should be done with this brainwashing device?" Zero asked.

The Empire does not allow the trading of such things, nor will it count as military merit.

"Keep it for now." Zhao Xing did not destroy it immediately.

Items have no distinction between good and evil; it all depends on the user.

Zhao Xing did not intend to trade the Thought Stamp Brainwashing Device either; it might be useful in the future.

Besides this, these two also contributed 80 million cubic meters of Ziguang soil.

1 trillion cubic meters can extract one gram of divinity substance.

80 million cubic meters is already not a small amount.

Counting what was obtained on the battlefield before, in total, Zhao Xing already had over 200 million cubic meters of Ziguang soil.

"Hum~"

However, when Zhao Xing took the Ziguang soil into his internal world, he discovered an anomaly.

The Time God Tree actually took the initiative to seize the 200 million cubic meters of Ziguang soil placed in the distance!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~"

That small mountain was absorbed by the Time God Tree in a very short time.

The soil turned into fly ash, and a touch of purple-red light was absorbed into the body of the God Tree.

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing was stunned.

The Time God Tree actually took the initiative to absorb Ziguang soil?

He immediately communicated with the God Tree.

He discovered that this was indeed something the God Tree craved!

The divinity substance contained within was something it really needed!

However, the amount was too small.

200 million cubic meters of Ziguang soil only increased the time acceleration multiplier of the God Tree by 100 times.

From 2500 times, it became 2600 times.

"Damn, you actually want to absorb the divinity substance inside the soil." Zhao Xing looked at the God Tree, quite helpless.

The Empire only collects Ziguang soil and does not sell it!

Because the extraction technology is all in the hands of the Empire, selling it to individuals is useless.

So Zhao Xing can only go to the battlefield to snatch it and dig for it.
