Chapter 153 Reasons for the Experiment

In the spiritual space, there are gluttonous pillars.

Xu Yue sat casually on the pillar, holding a milky white chain in his hand, which extended into the purple sea of ​​fire outside the barrier.

The tail end is connected to a surging purple flame ball, and the whole posture seems to be fishing by the sea of ​​​​fire.

But it's almost like fishing. He is indeed borrowing the powerful spiritual body of the ancestral python to breed a new consciousness in the sea of ​​fire.

As his intellectual attributes improve, the more he understands his own spiritual space, the more he can feel its wonder.

This psychic power granted to him by Professor Charles contains endless possibilities for development.

The scope of the spiritual space is very large, and it doesn't just refer to the floating island above his head and the Baji Prison under his feet. These existences wrapped by the spiritual barrier are just the embodiment of the rational part of his thinking.

The floating island on the upper level is a polymer that tends to favor positive emotions in memory and thinking, so its first image was the forging room in Xu Yue's hometown, which contained his most peaceful and softest memories, similar to the professor's mind. Xavier Academy for the Gifted in space.

The lower Baji Prison is the aggregation of negative emotions in memory and thinking, so its external image is an octagonal arena representing gladiatorial combat and fighting. It is the place where he faces the most blood and death before entering the paradise. Similar to the endless cemetery of mutants in the professor's mind space.

These two places are the only places he can manipulate and change, because they are themselves the embodiment of rational order.

The golden sea of ​​stars at the top represents the connection between the soul and the outside world. Although the soul space is independent of itself, it is not completely closed.

It's just that the professor's mental space is connected to the collective consciousness of all humans in the X-Men world. As for the place where Xu Yue's mental space is connected, it is currently impossible to explore.

Finally, there is the purple sea of ​​fire located at the lowest part of the spiritual space. It and the golden sea of ​​stars form the upper and lower boundaries of the entire space.

These flames are not endless fires, but countless, unconscious, mixed and disordered thoughts and thoughts.

On the pillar, another chain was thrown out from Xu Yue's hand, passed through the spiritual barrier and fell into the purple sea of ​​fire. Then the end of the chain quickly wrapped into a ball, wrapping a wisp of flame in the sea of ​​fire.

After completing all this, Xu Yue used force to pull the chain back. The sphere composed of the chain floated on his palm, slowly opened, revealing the coquettish purple flame in the center.

The appearance of flame is the same as that of fire, but its essence is completely different.

After the flame was completely revealed, Xu Yue's presence seemed to be sensed. After a wave of fluctuation, the flame quickly integrated into the palm of his hand.

Allowing the flames to invade his body, Xu Yue did not resist, but closed his eyes and silently felt the various images suddenly appear in his mind.

There is a scene of him holding a Fangtian Painted Halberd and massacring wantonly in Paradise City.

There is a picture of himself sparing the group of young and old workers who surrendered voluntarily during the massacre in the Holy Heaven.

There is also a scene in the Assassin’s Tavern, when Gu Yu said that any request would be granted, he asked him to take off his clothes...

Many imaginary images flashed through his mind one by one, followed by various emotions rising from the bottom of his heart, including madness, pity, lust...

All kinds of distracting thoughts were swirling in his mind, but he extinguished them one by one indifferently. After a long time, Xu Yue opened his eyes, revealing a pair of slightly red eyes.

This was one of the essences of the purple sea of ​​fire, countless complicated thoughts that he would never pay attention to.

As the iceberg theory of the subconscious summarized by Sigmund Freud says, all the rational and orderly behavioral choices we display externally are just a small exposed tip of the iceberg.

Hidden underneath are numerous psychological activities and emotional motivations that we cannot detect but actually exist. These are the huge mountains under the iceberg, which are our subconscious minds.

From its essential existence, this purple sea of ​​fire in the spiritual space is similar to the latent consciousness mentioned in the iceberg theory.

Contained in these messy thought flames are a large number of thoughts, emotions, memories, concepts, needs, desires and other components deep in his consciousness.

The sea of ​​fire is very important. It is the foundation of the spiritual space and carries the rational and orderly part of thinking. Without it, reason cannot be constructed, and the floating islands and Baji Hell above will no longer exist.

The sea of ​​fire is equally dangerous. It represents chaos and disorder. It contains too many complicated thoughts and will instinctively devour all rational existence.

It took Xu Yue a long time to digest the small wisp of flame that he had captured before. If the whole person fell, one can imagine the consequences. He would be washed away by countless distracting thoughts and become a madman.

But there is an old saying that goes well - A is like honey, B is like arsenic.

For a rational and orderly spiritual body, the sea of ​​​​fire is naturally arsenic poison, but for those blank spiritual bodies whose consciousness has been burned out and their thinking has returned to nothingness, the sea of ​​​​fire is the best honey.

Using a tough enough blank mental body as a hotbed to allow countless complex thoughts to entangle and converge in the hotbed, it is possible to construct a new core of consciousness for this blank mental body and condense a rational and orderly thinking body. .

This is also the reason why the ferocious beast Taotie was born. It was born with the help of the professor's blank mental body and the fusion of Xu Yue's complicated thoughts, and its independent thinking and self-awareness were born.

When absorbing the professor's spirit, he had not yet opened the crucial equipment of the mind barrier.

In the absence of a barrier to separate the inside and outside, and the fact that the Eight Extremes Prison itself fits the sea of ​​fire, the spirit should have passively absorbed too many distracting flames at that stage, and then the existence of Taotie was born by chance.

Of course, all this is based on speculation as his understanding of the spiritual space deepens. Whether it can be tested specifically depends on the results of this experiment.

Looking at the purple flame ball that keeps churning in the sea of ​​fire, Xu Yue sits cross-legged on the pillar with a little expectation in his eyes. If it really succeeds, then his development of the spiritual space will go a step further, and the ruling soul of the Jiuli Battle Flag will also have a stable source.

Before he has the ability to lead the crowd, he will never blindly do this kind of experiment. As Taotie said when he was just born, the consciousness born in this way is essentially similar to Xu Yue's split soul, or split personality.

They are the existences that were bred in the sea of ​​fire of Xu Yue's subconsciousness through his complicated thoughts. Strictly speaking, they are not a complete and independent life.

They share the same subconscious foundation with Xu Yue's main consciousness. They belong to the personality consciousness that depends on Xu Yue, and they share life and death and fate with him. At the same time, they also have the possibility of disturbing Xu Yue's thoughts and even taking over his body.

Of course, after having the absolute control of the soul by the Jiuli Battle Flag, this biggest hidden danger has been basically eliminated.

Otherwise, Xu Yue would not take the initiative to try to create this uncontrollable new consciousness. Even if this ability is very strong, the unrestrained power will only harm itself.

Charles' son Daqun is the best example.

Daqun is an Omega-level mutant with thousands of personalities. Each of his personalities has different mutant abilities, and the source of these personalities is, first, through absorbing the consciousness and soul of others, and second, self-personality separation.

He has thousands of superpowers in one body, comparable to a god, but thousands of uncontrollable personalities make his life miserable and unable to exert his full strength.

The existence of a large number of split personalities in Daqun is quite similar to his beast Taotie.

Xu Yue seriously doubts the operation mode of Daqun's mutant ability. Its basic principle is also to use the potential consciousness ocean of the mind space, that is, what Xu Yue is doing now.

It's just that Xu Yue is actively experimenting, while Daqun is unconsciously operating passively, so new personalities will continue to be generated.

Even the growth equipment of the mind barrier was given to him by Professor X to prevent Xu Yue from having the same situation as his son after learning the mind space. After all, there are too many similarities in the manifestation of their abilities.

Daqun can absorb the soul consciousness of others, and Xu Yue can also absorb the pure spiritual body of others through the feast of fire.

This also explains why when Xu Yue finished asking questions in the professor's room and was about to leave, the professor suddenly called him, not only actively granting him such a powerful ability of the mind space, but also presenting his own mind space to Xu Yue in full.

At that time, Xu Yue was also wondering if his 5 points of charm were too few. Now that he thought about it, the reason why the professor did this was probably because he thought of his son after understanding Xu Yue's ability. He knew very well what would happen if a large amount of spiritual souls were accumulated in his mind. He didn't want Xu Yue to become the next big group.

That's why the professor seemed so enthusiastic, teaching the mind space and giving the mind barrier. After all, the help Xu Yue gave and the reward given by the professor were completely unequal.

This chapter is mainly to clarify the setting of the birth of the mind space and consciousness, and this ability involves many aspects of the later stage.
