“Yes! That’s the only way!” Master Lai looked at Bai Yuekui and said, “Let’s go back to the lighthouse!”
Seeing the two about to leave, Bai Yuetian quickly asked, "What are you talking about? Going back to the Lighthouse? The Lighthouse is ours now?"
I'll tell you another time when I have time!
After saying that, Bai Yuekui and Master Lai boarded the spaceship again and returned to the lighthouse.
……
Just as the Swift spaceship landed on the lighthouse platform, Jingyuan arrived with Mark and Jingnan.
Jingyuan looked at Master Lai and said, "Master Lai, we hadn't finished speaking, why did you leave?"
"When I was communicating with you telepathically, I was leaving with Yue Kui in a spaceship. Once we were out of range, the connection was naturally lost!"
Where have you all been?
"Go check the core of the shielding system!" Bai Yuekui replied directly.
"But didn't you say it wasn't a problem with the blocking system?"
"That being said, we still need to check it out."
Jingyuan didn't want to delve into what they were doing anymore; he had a more pressing question: "Master Lai, since you are Ash, why didn't you return the permissions when you left after Lighthouse entrusted them to you?"
"Because the situation was very complicated at the time!" Master Lai looked around and said, "Let's talk about it somewhere else!"
Jingyuan also looked around. There were too many people and too many eyes on the platform, so it was definitely not a good place to talk.
Mark led them to the central command hall, where only Mark, Jingyuan, and Jingnan were on the Lighthouse side.
On the Dragon Bone Village side, there were only Bai Yuekui and Master Lai.
Master Lai looked at everyone and said, "As you all know, Ash is a super artificial intelligence, but I don't possess the abilities of a super artificial intelligence because I can only be considered a part of it, specifically the part responsible for processing emotions. The super intelligence part is still within the giant brain."
Back when Ash directly connected to the giant brain, it activated the consciousness of Mana's initial body! However, Ash is, after all, a super artificial intelligence. It used the consciousness maze to trap the initial body, and it has been trapped there ever since.
Back then, Ash, with his immense power, managed to trap the initial consciousness while simultaneously aiding the Beacon. The Beacon's ultimate key was in Ash's hands.
Jingyuan looked at Master Lai, "You mean, Ash is still inside the giant brain? And you?"
"I am merely a fusion of its source matter and other source matter," Master Lai said. "You just asked me why I didn't return the authority of the Lighthouse. It's because my mission was to infiltrate the Mana ecosystem's network. I only failed, which is why I had no choice but to transform into the Devouring Beast!"
Jing Yuan had doubts about this, and he looked at Bai Yuekui again, "Boss Bai, you were so eager to find Ash back then. Since Ash is still in the giant brain, why didn't you extract him?"
Bai Yuekui frankly stated, "Initially, my goal in finding Ash was to obtain information on how to eliminate the Mana ecosystem. However, I later learned from Master Lai that they found nothing in the giant brain. To truly understand the Mana ecosystem, one must go to a higher-dimensional world. Moreover, if we extract Ash from the giant brain, and the Lighthouse is controlled by the initial consciousness, then the Lighthouse will be finished!"
Listening to the conversation, Jingnan couldn't help but say, "Now is not the time to dwell on these old stories! Master Lai, can you tell us how we can regain control of the lighthouse?"
Master Lai looked at Jing Nan and explained the method: "Eliminate the initial consciousness, and Ash will gain complete control of the giant brain!"
"How to do?"
Master Lai turned to look at Jing Yuan, "Use a mental attack!"
Jing Yuan looked puzzled. "How can you attack with your mind?"
"Your mental strength is extremely powerful, allowing you to communicate with me in the mental space. If you can kill me in the mental space, that would be a mental attack!"
"It can be like this?" Jing Yuan had a thought, and a surge of spiritual power rushed into Master Lai's mind!
In the mental space, the two stood facing each other.
"Right, that is it!"
"In this state, I can't kill you, and I can't kill the initial body either!"
"No! This is different! I am now a complete individual, replenished by source matter! But the initial consciousness is just an incomplete consciousness! Moreover, you can use technological means to assist it!"
"Technical means?"
"Just like when Ash connected to the giant brain, the device can amplify your bioelectrical signals dozens of times!"
Jing Yuan sneered, instantly understanding.
Jing Yuan withdrew from the mental space, and to outsiders, he and Master Lai simply fell into silence.
Mark, standing next to Jingyuan, asked, "What happened to you just now?"
"It was just a spiritual exchange with him."
Jingyuan turned to look at Jingnan, "We need to go back and find that old man Flynn; his research is still somewhat useful!"
……
Jingyuan brought Jingnan to the closed data management room again.
Flynn was still feeling down inside when he suddenly heard someone else arrive.
Jingyuan walked straight inside, and Flynn, looking at Jingyuan, stood there dumbfounded with a forced smile.
Jing Yuan asked directly, "Can your brain-connected device be modified?"
Chapter 192 Mei Wei
Flynn looked at Jing Yuan, who had just said his research was useless, but then turned around and came back. He wondered what Jing Yuan was up to.
But Flynn dared not act rashly.
"How do you want to change it?"
Jingyuan said, "Your brain-connecting device requires one end to be inserted into the Klotor and the other end to be inserted into the human brain, right?"
"Yes!"
"I want you to change the device that is inserted into the human brain to a contactless type."
Flynn paused, realizing that the plan was not impossible, but there was a problem: "If we switch to a contactless method, the brainwave signals will not be sufficient to communicate with Kloto."
"Then you don't need to worry about it. Just do it!" Jingyuan finally asked, "How long will it take?"
"A few hours!"
"Alright!" Jing Yuan used his telekinesis to unlock Flynn's anklets.
Then, he handed the task over to Jingnan, saying, "Jingnan, keep an eye on him!"
……
Jing Yuan maneuvered his shield, flying through the air and observing the situation of the Devouring Beasts below as he circled the lighthouse.
The Devouring Beasts below have now gathered in large numbers and have started an infinite stacking pattern.
However, even if these Devouring Beasts were stacked together, they wouldn't be very tall. Because in the later stages, the Devouring Beasts at the bottom simply couldn't bear such a heavy weight, and naturally, they would collapse.
Master Lai flew to Jingyuan's side.
Jingyuan looked at Master Lai and asked, "How is your combat strength? I haven't seen you make a move yet?"
Master Lai said, "If you're talking about ecological niches, then I'm at the monarch level. However, since I was secretly transformed, the ecosystem doesn't allocate extra source matter to me, so this body's combat power is average, far inferior to that of a monarch level."
Jing Yuan looked him up and down; no wonder he hadn't made a move from beginning to end.
"What ecological niche does the primary organism belong to?"
"Primitive and cranial organisms are quite special; they are the highest representatives of the ecosystem!"
As the two were chatting, two bijawed beasts slowly approached from the ground.
Jingyuan watched from the air.
The two bijawed beasts walked to the foot of the lighthouse and suddenly hugged each other tightly.
Jing Yuan was still puzzled. But the next second, countless pan-evolving Devouring Beasts began to climb onto the bodies of the two Bjawed Beasts.
Before long, a huge mountain of Devouring Beasts will be formed.
"Not good!" Jing Yuan saw through their purpose. With the support of the double-jawed beasts, these Devouring Beasts could stack up to an even greater height.
"They want to get to the lighthouse this way!" Jing Yuan reached out, and a giant battle sword flew out from the lighthouse and landed in his hand.
Then, nine battle swords flew out one after another.
Master Lai saw that Jing Yuan was preparing for battle and quickly said, "If you absorb the source essence now, the ecosystem will definitely detect you!"
"It's alright! As long as the spirit seed isn't damaged."
Although the Devouring Beast can be revived quickly without destroying the Spirit Seed, it can buy some time.
Jing Yuan swooped down and used his mental power to quickly locate the location of the Twin-jawed Beast's spirit seed.
Previously, locating a Spirit Seed meant cutting down Spirit Seeds. Now, locating a Spirit Seed means avoiding it altogether.
Jing Yuan manipulated nine battle swords to form a giant combined battle sword, and slashed at the two-jawed beast with one strike.
The Digjaw Beast was instantly split in two!
Then, he unleashed a spatial chain slash, dismembering the double-jawed beast.
Even if an injury of this severity can heal, it will take a considerable amount of time.
As one of the two-jawed beasts fell, the skeleton of the Devouring Beast "Mountain" collapsed instantly.
Jing Yuan used the same method to kill the other Devouring Beast.
After slaying the two two-jawed beasts, Jingyuan returned to the top of the lighthouse.
