105: Section 105

"Hehe, I don't care about that! You've hidden more than just one, wow! Look at all those pretty-faced female ghosts, there's nearly five hundred of them now, right?"

"Strictly speaking, it's four hundred and ninety-two!"

Su Ming continued to argue, "Besides, those are Banshees. Calling them 'female ghosts' or whatever is just too rude, damn it."

"Oh, it's all the same. They couldn't all be male ghosts, right... By the way, why do I feel like the self-awareness of these... er, Banshees, seems a bit too thin?"

"That's normal. Ghosts are generally like that; their ego is paranoid and incomplete, and their memories from when they were alive are fragmented."

But conversely, ghosts like this are more lethal.

And only such ghosts are qualified to join the ranks of the Banshees.

"Fine. Take me around. There are many things on this ship that I can't parse, so I'll just observe them one by one and see if it sparks any inspiration."

With a flash, the two landed back on the deck.

Su Ming didn't mind the trouble and fulfilled his duties as a tour guide.

He took Clone Hexi to visit the various auxiliary facilities one by one.

During the process, out of curiosity, Midnight would often poke her little head out from the shadows in the blind spots to watch. Seeing Big Sister Midnight doing this, Perona followed suit.

Clone Hexi pretended not to notice the two little ones watching, simply taking the opportunity to observe.

Su Ming was happy to play along and didn't bother exposing them.

On the way, Su Ming asked an interesting question: "...Pipi Xi, what do you think the essence of ghosts has in terms of specific guiding significance for Angels?"

Clone Hexi curled her lip. "You want to ask what Angels can gain from understanding all these things about ghosts, right? Hah, simple! Aside from allowing the soul to safely leave the body, there's nothing else to think about!"

"Soul leaving the body? That's interesting!"

As fellow geniuses, Su Ming instantly understood what she was thinking!

With different observation angles, the gains are also different!

Angels have been able to develop into a God-making civilization without ever observing the world in a pure soul state; if they add a special soul perspective, it might trigger another technological revolution!

"However... the translocation of spirit and flesh seems more interesting!"

Oh! Not bad! She actually managed to successfully parse Perona's state.

But that research direction... tsk tsk, are the Angels trying to compete with Karl for the title of God of Death?

"Negative Hollow... Emmm, emotions can actually be ghostified! This is so interesting. I wonder what emotions like reverence, love, and hatred would look like after being ghostified."

Su Ming: "..." Stop talking!

Perona, who had carelessly let her Negative Hollow show its face, was bound in place and unable to move in the blink of an eye. She was currently teary-eyed.

However... using magical power to drive Yin-attribute energy to simulate the form of restraint... even Perona's Negative Hollow couldn't escape. It could only be said that what Heavenly Base King relied on to become famous throughout the universe was not just her unparalleled beauty, but also her unfathomable wisdom!

At the same time, Su Ming was shocked to discover that Clone Hexi's Eye of Insight seemed to have gained a touch of mystery! No way! Has the Eye of Insight already iterated to the point of involving the supernatural realm?

Chapter 120: An Eye of Insight Better Than Nothing

Returning to the spacious captain's quarters, he raised a bone throne suitable for her status as Heavenly Base King for Clone Hexi.

They sat down, and ghost attendants poured tea and water, waiting quietly to the side.

He took a sip of Soul-Pacifying Tea with great interest, carefully savoring the aftertaste that made the soul feel comfortable and the spirit relaxed.

After a long while, Clone Hexi opened her eyes and answered the question: "The upgrade of the Eye of Insight was a project from a long time ago. Emmm... ever since the first incomprehensible data packet transmitted back by Zhixin, we have been planning how to upgrade the Eye of Insight."

"However, the real breakthrough was only after you successfully absorbed the supernatural system of the Azeroth world."

"From that time on, we Angels were able to comprehensively and three-dimensionally examine what the supernatural concept of the idealistic realm is."

Su Ming silently estimated for a moment and couldn't help but praise, "That's less than two weeks... tsk, the foundation of a God-making civilization is truly terrifying."

As long as they are given the right direction, the efficiency with which Angels turn theory into practical technology is frighteningly fast!

This can be seen from the fact that Karl was able to upgrade Huaye to a fifth-generation god in a short period of time!

Furthermore, didn't Morgana, who truly witnessed what Void technology is, also take only a short time to upgrade Rose to a level where she could compete with Queen Yan!

Of course, Su Ming himself didn't lose out. The Angels' scientific research results were shared with Su Ming.

Just look, Clone Hexi had just upgraded the Eye of Insight, and immediately shared a large amount of data over.

He closed his eyes slightly and fully activated Mental Imagery Deduction. In just a moment, Su Ming consumed and absorbed the relevant data.

His eyes snapped open, a milky white light film adhering to them. A torrent of data was refreshed at a high frequency on his retinas; environmental parameters, physical constants, and residual information were all captured without omission!

After experiencing it, Su Ming regretfully closed the Eye of Insight.

"What is it?"

"The Eye of Insight isn't very useful. It only has a slight advantage in data integration. Overall, it's far inferior to my Wall-Piercing Insight."

"That's normal. After all, we have only just begun to come into contact with the idealistic realm."

Clone Hexi didn't mind; having a gap meant that Angels still had room for improvement. She couldn't be happier.

After a pause, Clone Hexi asked curiously, "You can feel it too, right? This planet under our feet is very wrong. Many environmental parameters and even physical constants have non-natural fluctuations! Tell me, why is that?"

"Devil Fruit!"

Su Ming didn't intend to hide it. In the foreseeable future, Clone Hexi would likely often participate in his dungeon adventure journeys. But... this was a good thing!

"First, a global war that collapsed the planet's climate system, and then the large-scale emergence of Devil Fruit—it would be strange if the world didn't have problems!"

Look at that! It was hailing in the outside world again.

"The world... no, it should be the Planet Origin... I didn't expect that such an abstract conceptual entity could be distorted into something like a Devil Fruit."

"Su Ming, could it be that there are many similar things in other different worlds?"

Su Ming was stunned, then helplessly spread his hands. "Believe it or not, there are actually quite a few similar situations!"

The ultimate boss of the neighboring ninja village's armed struggle, the mortal enemy of the Demon Slayer Corps, the planet's suppression force and Alaya's Heroic Spirit compendium, the bizarre monsters in One Punch Man... all these and more.

Most of them are silently supported by the Planet Origin behind the scenes.

Clone Hexi, however, looked eager to try. "That's great, Su Ming. How about taking a trip into the starry sky with me?"

"Er, what do you want to do?"

"Of course, it's to see if the origins of other planets can be observed, and if they can be..."

Su Ming immediately raised his hand to interrupt. "Don't even think about it. What do you think Planet Origin is? Do you think every celestial body comes with one by default?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not!"

Sighing, Su Ming explained, "It's called Planet Origin, but in reality, that thing is high-dimensional energy that can only be bred after the planet's own ecology, combined with the spiritual remnants of intelligent life, settles over time!"

"I believe there must be other civilizations on other planets in this universe."

"But... Planet Origin possesses high-dimensional attributes. Even if you try every possible way to find it, you can't do anything about it!"

To say nothing else, Su Ming has only ever found the Planet Origin of the One Piece World in Devil Fruit!

And that was the Planet Origin after secondary evolution!

As for the genuine Planet Origin, did he not want it? As if! It's just that it's impossible to find, okay!

Clone Hexi instantly wilted, stood up like a zombie, and walked out like a zombie. Before disappearing, she gave Su Ming a look full of resentment.

One minute later. Confirming that Clone Hexi had truly disappeared, Perona breathed a sigh of relief as if freed.

Wuwuwu! — The silver-haired great demon king has finally left!

Midnight curiously poked her head out. "Master, why did Ms. Hexi leave suddenly?"

Pointing to the top of her head, Su Ming said, "What else? Of course, she went to work for her original self!"

"Ah? Ms. Hexi, she..."

"That's right, she is a clone..."

Perona's body stiffened. If the clone is this terrifying, how scary must the original be?

Wuwuwu! — I shouldn't have come on board to pick a fight in the first place! Big Sister Midnight said that in a little while, they will return to the main world... Just thinking about having to live day and night with that silver-haired great demon king.
