Chapter 1140: Chapter 164: All Terra People Should Bow to Inega II (6600)_2
But in the next instant, the arm modeling immediately collapsed, condensed, and finally coalesced into a small silver chip in Ianâs right hand.
A silver chip, thin to the extreme, yet seemingly containing an entire galaxy flowing within.
Exactly like the silver chip Ian saw and acquired in the past!
"Whoa."
Producing an ambiguous sound, Ian lifted his right hand and reattached it to his wristâbecause even without the silver chip, the Iron Pioneerâs legacy could still accomplish this.
After slightly moving his wrist, Ian could feel that his armâs movements were somewhat sluggish and insensitive, the acuity of touch had decreased significantly, and the Prime Material Perception had dropped by at least seventy percent.
Yet, even so, with Ianâs current right hand data, he could completely crush some ordinary Second Energy Level geniuses; like the Jegarna he encountered before, Ian was still confident enough to defeat him with one blow using this silver chip-separated right hand.
But it was also clear that the strengthening curve of the silver chip for a person is not simply about recording data and enhancing perception.
At the same time, Ian could also feel that ninety percent of the âFairy Bloodlineâ in his right hand was stripped away.
Not a hundred percent stripped awayâeven though all the Origin Structure of the Fairy Bloodline is located on the silver chip, years of operation still allowed some of the Origin Structure to spread and begin transforming Ianâs body. This is why neither the fae nor other Fourth Energy Level powerhouses noticed Ianâs Fairy Bloodline abnormality, only perceiving that he controlled his Origin Quality well without external exposure.
With this ten percent of the fairy Origin Structure, Ian is confident that he can re-record the Fairy Bloodline within ten days without relying on the silver chip by utilizing the soul he cultivated through meditation.
Of course, he wouldnât be foolish enough to truly record without the silver chip... not using tools when available is just a tad too inhumane.
Just like now, Ian can sense that the silver chipâs derived network in his arm is currently extending towards the part of his hand without a silver chipâthe unloaded chip can surely be reinstalled, it just consumed a bit more Origin Matter, and Ian lacks everything except Origin Matter.
"I see."
Ian gave a slight nod, gripping the silver chip he had just removed, thoughtfully reflecting: "The silver chip has now completely become a part of my perception and even my thinking system. Separating the silver chip equals separating a part of my thoughts, tearing apart a portion of my soul, cutting off a part of my brainâmy right hand now feels like another personâs hand, giving me an extremely alien sensation. This isnât just an adjective; itâs because my thoughts are based on the soul and body that exist because of the silver chip, so without the silver chip structure, thereâs a significant difference between the body and my mind."
"This difference, on the contrary, reveals a common trait. If my thoughts and soul were one hundred percent integrated with the silver chip, then my soul would possess my comprehensive thoughts... this is similar to a Dragon Soul structure, capable of descending upon any body and smoothly controlling it without causing any rejection reactions regarding Origin Matter."
"Similarly, by peeling off the silver chip, it can be seen that its modification to the body itself is actually minimal; the vast majority of enhancements are entirely based on the silver chip itself, along with the strengthening of my soul, without having undergone any bodily transformation."
"If it were the previous me, I might have deemed this reasonable, but if there were speculations like âthe silver chip is only part of the Star Godâs gift,â then I believe the pioneer may not have fully separated the complete Star Godâs gift. He merely detached the âsilver chip partâ mainly based on ânervous system and soul,â from the âcomplete Star Godâs gift,â and the other part capable of modifying the body still resides within him."
"The complete Star Godâs gift should be capable of modifying a personâs body and soul, gradually transforming them, and eventually elevating them completely into a kind of super life!"
Itâs purely speculation, but Ian is eighty percent confident that this conclusion is the truth.
Because, the unloading of the silver chip... in the experience of this personal trial, it almost equates to âtearing.â
Like someone directly digging out the brain, tearing with sheer emptiness.
However, digging out the brain doesnât mean the head is chopped off, the skull and flesh are still intact.
This detachment and unloading, in essence, stripped away the most flexible part of the silver chip, like removing memory modules and graphics cards from the motherboard, yet the motherboard itself wasnât taken.
Ian believes that the pioneer, at the end of his life, didnât find a perfect method to separate the silver chip. So he made the harsh decision to directly tear apart his soul, stripping out the soul aspect of the Star Godâs gift separately and condensing it into the silver chip.
What kind of determination and pain does this require? Ian asks himself, even someone accustomed to combat and self-analysis like him finds it nearly impossible.
Yet the pioneerâs despair, based on previously seen memories, can understand somewhat. He indeed had reason and determination.
"Truly... admirable." He sighed.
