Chapter 226: Divinity Germination Experiment

Divinity Germination Experiment

Natural Sect!

The first thing Cheng Shi thought of when he heard the name of the experiment was this: Natural Sect!

A player organization that believed divinity was born from humanity!

And that "offspring" recognized by 【Birth】, Hu Xuan, was a member of it.

There was actually no such organization in the history of the Continent of Hope, but almost every player organization originated from some large force on the Continent of Hope.

Just like the Reason Association corresponded to the Tower of Reason, and the Order Alliance corresponded to the Grand Tribunal, but the Natural Sect didn't correspond to the Natural Alliance, but to the 【Life Church】, a god-worshipping organization established by people who believed in 【Life】 under the rule of 【Civilization】.

Since countries in the Civilization Era would more or less have political cooperation and cultural exchange with the Natural Alliance, they didn't resist such god-worshipping organizations of other paths within their borders, so the 【Life Church】 flourished under civilization, especially within the Tower of Reason.

The reason was still the same: because the Life Church also believed that divinity should be born from humanity, so they tirelessly pursued this point, and coincidentally, the Tower of Reason was best at studying divinity.

So... Serius wasn't just a scholar from the Tower of Reason, but also a god-worshipping believer from the Life Church.

"Divinity... Germination... Experiment."

These words might be very ordinary when read separately, but when they were combined, they were so soul-shaking.

"How can divinity germinate, and how can it possibly germinate in a person?" Li Wu was stunned. He stared blankly at the wooden horizontal slice in Serius's hand, asking in disbelief, "So, is the deathmatch final for germinating divinity? What divinity? 【Chaos】? Does 【Chaos】 exist at this time?"

Gao San was also stunned. He muttered to himself:

"So, are we ourselves, or are we slices, or...

Whose slices?"

He looked at Li Wu, remembering that sentence Li Wu had said. According to the sequence, the one ranked 1 should be the main body. Could it be that both he and Cheng Shi were Li Wu's slices?

Li Wu clearly also realized this, so his expression became very complex.

Only Cheng Shi treated Serius's words as wind in his ears, left ear in and right ear out, just listening to it as fun.

Because before the other party revealed their purpose, even if these words were true, they might be lying. After all, he himself had just played this trick.

So there was only one doubt in his mind, and that was what exactly this Serius in front of him was planning, and why the other Serius outside the door didn't chase him in.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. When a slice hasn't been cultivated into an individual, you can think of it as just a slice, a fragment peeled off from the experimental material.

But when the slice has grown into a complete experimental material, then, from that moment on, there is no more talk of slices, because every experimental material is him himself. At least this point was set long before the experiment, so every experimental material believes this without doubt."

"Bang!"

When Serius finished this sentence, Cheng Shi smiled. He felt that this scholar was bewitching everyone to believe his point of view, to believe that everyone was just a slice of one person.

But the problem was, I couldn't be someone else's slice.

Thus, he threw the scalpel in his hand onto the experimental table again, playfully asking:

"Scholar, might as well make it clear, whose slice is whose.

Or more specifically, among these three people in front of you, who is the slice, and who is the main body?"

Serius didn't mind Cheng Shi's action at all. He looked at the sharp scalpel on the table, and then looked at Cheng Shi, smiling:

"Why be obsessed with who is the slice? I said..."

"Bang!"

A third scalpel was stuck on the table, and it was stuck right on the wooden horizontal slice beside Serius's hand, pinning that innocent slice to the desktop.

"Stop talking nonsense. The next place the scalpel flies to will be your head.

I don't know what you are waiting for. Your gaze has looked at the wooden door behind me time and time again. Are you waiting for the Serius who looks exactly like you outside the door?

But in my opinion, he doesn't seem to want to meet you."

"......"

Hearing this, Serius's face finally changed slightly. His withered skin twitched, and then he sighed slowly:

"The talk of slices needs to be determined according to different experimental purposes. The Divinity Germination Experiment isn't simple. If I casually say a number, will you believe it?

So, please listen to me patiently.

【Divinity】 wants to burst forth within humanity; relying solely on the imagination and fabrication of individual consciousness is absolutely impossible. This has been a consensus since the ancient era.

So in order to 'gestate' divinity in humanity, the church has long focused on the interaction between different life forms. Only the sparks burst forth from the interaction between consciousnesses can possibly 'mutate' into 【Divinity】.

Of course, one must eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. We aren't trying to directly create 【Divinity】, but are observing whether it's possible to split off a mutation of humanity that is similar in data and form to 【Divinity】, even if it's only similar for a moment, during the interaction of humanity.

And this mutated humanity is what we call 【Germinating Divinity】.

But after generations of exploration, we discovered that wanting to gestate 【Germinating Divinity】 through the interaction of different life forms is absolutely impossible, because their recognition of each other is too low, lacking the key emotion of 'mutual recognition.'

This emotion is considered the foundation of all 【Divinity】. It also has a more sacred title, which is...

Faith.

However, in the experiment, we prefer to call it the prototype of faith, 'mutual recognition.'

So, in order to increase the recognition between life forms, the slice experiment was born first.

We assume that one person splits into countless selves, and these selves with residual memories and broken consciousness simultaneously believe in one thing, which is 'I am I.' In this way, simple 'mutual recognition' appears.

Afterward, we selected 【Corruption】, which is the most sluggish among all divinities, as the direction for trial, only because it doesn't excessively reject humans like other divinities.

We cannot define what the state of 【Divinity】 in consciousness is, so this process of gestation has no clear direction and can only seek the laws of mutation when humanity collides through uninterrupted testing.

After countless experiments, we finally discovered that fear has the highest probability of mutation. Although this mutation still cannot birth 【Germinating Divinity】, at least it mutated and catalyzed many powers that are beneficial to life forms and help them overcome fear.

This is also the direction we see as most promising at present. Thus, the Grand Tribunal version of the experiment, the deathmatch final, was born.

Speaking to this point, you should have guessed that the reason for using this method to conduct the experiment is to stimulate the deep fear of the experimental material, using their tense and boiling consciousness as a cradle to gestate the rare 【Germinating Divinity】 related to 【Corruption】 and 'fear'."

"Since it's fear, why not let all experimental materials fight chaotically? Wouldn't the fear be greater?" Gao San frowned in confusion.

"We certainly tried, but in that way, other mutations that pollute 【Corruption】 would be produced in the cognitive intersection and consciousness accumulation. Although the success rate of this mutation is high, it is abnormally disorderly, and we sought for a long time without discovering its 【Divinity】 laws.

So we gave up that plan and changed to relay gladiatorial combat.

And in the process of the experiment, we also need to consider one point: if 【Germinating Divinity】 truly mutates successfully, how should we collect it?

Because this 【Germinating Divinity】 of fear that bursts forth in consciousness doesn't belong to the true 【Corruption】, but is born under the 'I am I' mutual recognition. So in other words, the experimental material is the true owner of this 【Germinating Divinity】!

After carrying the 【Germinating Divinity】 that belongs to him, he changes from an ordinary experimental material into a 'He' that possesses a trace of initial possibility!

Therefore, the answer you want has come.

The serial number of the experimental material isn't important; what's important is which material this group of experiments actually wants to become the final collection carrier of 【Divinity】.

Since all experimental materials in the same group have self-recognition characteristics, when a certain experimental material dies at the hands of another, no matter in whose consciousness 【Germinating Divinity】 is born, it will be plundered by the winner and become the winner's 'trophy.'

If there is no special purpose, generally speaking, the experiment will tend to place the most primitive experimental material prototype at the final serial number.

Because the experimental material prototype has the most complete personality, 'mutual recognition' tends to recognize him more, so his carrying capacity for 【Germinating Divinity】 is also stronger.

And judging by the rules of the deathmatch penalty, only the final winner in the deathmatch final has the greatest chance of winning, which means he is most likely to collect the 【Germinating Divinity】 that comes from mutation!"

"!!!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao San jumped high with lightning speed and drilled into the ceiling gap above everyone's heads.

Li Wu snapped his fingers, turning himself into a rain of poker cards and disappearing on the spot.

Two cowards ran away, seemingly scared away.

Cheng Shi didn't chase. He digested Serius's words and smiled.

He didn't expect that after going around in circles, the experimental material prototype actually became himself.

A bit interesting, but...

Not much.

He looked at Serius without moving, and asked back with a sneer:

"So, scholar, which slice number are you?"

Serius smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I am not a slice; I am the experimental material prototype that was abandoned." ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
