Chapter 1131: Chapter 162: The Pioneer of Terra People, Tombs and Echoes (7200, Major Chapter)

The fragments of the Source Quality Calculating Chip are utterly shattered. Although it is a creation of the Fifth Energy Level, or at least a part of a complete Fifth Energy Level creation, after enduring the ravages of time, it only left behind a mere 3 Points of Authority Level Source Quality.

3 points. To be honest, this number has indeed reached a rather amusing level.

If you look down on it, it’s still somewhat Source Quality, not entirely a mundane object; if you look up, this residual Source Quality has no power to activate its peculiar traits, making it no different from ordinary objects. It’s quite awkward.

No wonder the Ashlight Family couldn’t figure out the use of this Source Quality Calculation Unit. It is indeed crucial, but with only three points of Source Quality left, there’s no way to restart it— even if someone mastered the method, they would still need a Fifth Energy Level powerhouse to infuse it with Authority Level Source Quality to revive it slightly, to understand its minor functions.

But Ian is different—he’s too familiar with this thing.

Not to mention that his soul is inherently imprinted with a part of a similar Spirit Matter Computation Unit module, the Silver Chip has already explained its origin to Ian.

But that’s where the problem lies.

The more information is presented, the more problems emerge.

The Source Quality Calculating Chip is arguably the easiest to understand: it’s merely a computation unit made from Source Quality, no different from the Spirit Matter Computation Unit in Ian’s mind, except using Source Quality as material.

But then, the Rites of the Star Gods and the Pioneer…

The problem lies in, subsequently, the Rites of the Star Gods and the Pioneer…

“As the Heterogenous Research Institute’s Director and the known initial holder of the Silver Chip, the Pioneer gathered the power of pre-era civilizations of Terra, attempting to replicate the ‘Rites of the Star Gods’, thereby birthing the ‘Source Quality Calculating Chip’, a supercomputer transcending the technological limits of Terra, becoming the foundation for Terra’s civilization leap.”

Softly reciting the information from the Silver Chip, Ian chews over its meaning: “If nothing unexpected, the Silver Chip is what they claim as the ‘Rites of the Star Gods’. At least part of it.”

“The Source Quality Calculating Chip is evidently the reason why the Pioneer and Terra’s civilization could rapidly decipher numerous Sparks, and lay the groundwork for Terra Sublimation—the Terra Universe, having Source Quality and Spirit Energy, possessing Aether, this exotic universe! It served as its quantum computer, or even a higher-level tool.”

“It could even be said that as the known initial Fifth Energy Level creation, every subsequent human Fifth Energy Level likely has or had more or less connections with the Source Quality Calculating Chip.”

Ian still remembers his teacher, Hiliard, once mentioned that among the various materials needed for the Fifth Energy Level of The Unyielding Fortress lineage are the heart cores of Ancient Dragons, spinal cord gel, and the Spiritual Neural Network.

Among which, the Spiritual Neural Network actually begins construction at the Third Energy Level. Ian’s current neural network is a system built with a portion of Mithril mixed with Moren Steel, but the Ancient Dragon-level Spiritual Neural Network is evidently not a simple thing, as it should have a presence in the Domain of Void, bridging both the Domain of Void and reality as a hyper-space organ.

And such organs, indeed have certain similarities with the ‘Spirit Matter Computation Unit’… Ian believes, that it might be a fusion of the Spirit Matter Computation Unit and the Source Quality Calculating Chip, constructed into the ‘True Ether Calculation Unit’… and a neural network certainly requires more than just one True Ether Calculation Unit, which forms the foundation of various abilities of the Fifth Energy Level.

And the Heart Core, Ian already possesses, so there’s no need to dwell on that. As for the spinal cord gel… Ian believes it might also be some kind of outrageous stuff, after all, the spinal cord is responsible for signal transmission between the brain and the body. Adding the essence of Aether transcending time and space, Ian suspects that Fifth Energy Level powerhouses might achieve a certain degree of foreseeing abilities, their bodies becoming a kind of precognitive interface, capable of direct countermeasures at the onset of an attack, or even when an attack is merely conceived.

This is not baseless speculation, as Hiliard, reminiscing his past prowess, once mentioned having similar abilities—he could instinctively discern assassination plans against him, ambushes plotted against him, and during battles, instinctively be aware of enemy attack routes. The old knight regarded this as a powerful mental state, but Ian believes that if a mental state could reach such a preposterous degree, it would undeniably be a form of Spirit Energy.

And the spinal cord gel would be the carrier of this Spirit Energy.

He drew his thoughts back.

The Source Quality Calculating Chip in front of Ian is already damaged and lacks functional modules, detaching from the core entity… But this instead proves, within the Exotic Species Research Institute, there is at least a mostly intact chip entity.

And it, perhaps, is the origin of the Terra’s Way of Ascension, the development point of numerous super technologies!

“Anfa, where did you discover it in the Exotic Species Research Institute?”

Ian stared intensely at the Elf Girl, Anfa, dressed in her ceremonial gown, who sighed and shook her head, replying, “I haven’t even opened this box yet, nor introduced it to you, yet it seems you already know numerous details about the content within the casket… It appears the Prophet is not only genuine, but Ian, your Prophet Psychic is exceptionally strong.”

Composing herself, Anfa gathered her thoughts, and she spoke slowly, “This unknown artifact originated from one of our Ashlight Sect’s ‘private explorations’ of the Exotic Species Research Institute.”

“Before the joint exploration team of Canaan Moore and The Empire discovered the underground ruins by Half Moon Lake as the Exotic Species Research Institute, exploration of this ruins cluster was unrestricted. Our Ashlight Sect seized this time window to conduct multiple private exploration missions, which is also a Canaan Moore routine, after all, this ruins cluster was found by our family, and Chairman Yafarda is our close kin. Hence, the Great Senate of Canaan Moore turned a blind eye.”
