From the end of the world

Chapter 552: Method of Recovering Memory

"The method to avoid side effects is simple to say, but it may be a bit troublesome to do. At least you probably can't practice it right now." No. 7 said, "This method requires the user to have the power of at least three pieces of divine seal fragments."

"You actually need a fragment of the divine seal?" I was surprised.

Just to restore a person's memory, you need a fragment of the divine seal... and one would be fine, but you actually need three? Although I understand that it is very difficult to restore the memory lost due to madness, it is still a waste of talent anyway.

No wonder the Three Lives Stone Powder is a failed product. According to the Lord of the Divine Seal in the past, the total number of Divine Seal fragments is only twenty-one to thirty-five. In other words, the number of people who can recover all their memories without side effects through the Three Lives Stone Powder is only eleven at most, and the number of patients with amnesia who have fallen into the afterlife, according to the information I learned before falling into the afterlife, has exceeded one million.

This is still the most ideal situation. I have estimated the total number of fragments of the Divine Seal to the maximum value, and have not removed those fragments of the Divine Seal that are bound to the Apostles of the Void Realm.

At the same time, I once again confirmed that Tai Sui is indeed a character that has a great connection with the Divine Seal.

Being able to research medicines that require the use of Divine Seal Fragments, and being able to calculate how much power of Divine Seal Fragments is needed... If one does not have a very deep understanding of the relevant power, it is impossible to do this.

"...The original intention of designing the Three Lives Stone Powder was to allow people other than the Lord of the Divine Seal to use part of the Lord of the Divine Seal's omniscience..."

No. 7 must have understood how important her words were, but she still went on, "…The so-called 'Three Lives Stone' is a stone that symbolizes the past life, present life, and future life in mythology. In the best case scenario, people who take the Three Lives Stone powder can temporarily peek into all the information about their past, present, and future.

“Although this is only omniscience from a subjective perspective, the user can only see all the things that he or she ‘has known in the past’ and ‘may know in the future’, and cannot achieve omniscience from an objective perspective of the world like a true Lord of the Seal of God, but it is already magical enough.

"Unfortunately, due to the impact of the coming of the apocalypse, the concept of 'the future of mankind' has been shattered. Therefore, even if the research on the Three Lives Stone Powder is successful, the user will not be able to see his future. At most, he can only see his present and past... This is not only the case when taking it in the afterlife, but also when taking it again after returning to the world of the living. And this is why the Three Lives Stone Powder can make people recall their past lives.

"The reason why three divine seal fragments are needed to take Sansheng Stone Powder is because these three divine seal fragments are used to establish the concepts of past, present, and future in one's own existence with sufficient strength to form the timeline. Although the function of predicting the future does not work, the future element cannot be absent in the user, otherwise the excess drug power that has nowhere to vent will destroy the user's future. To put it in the most intuitive way, the user will die."

The original design was so outrageous, no wonder three pieces of the divine seal were needed... After listening to it, I asked, "Isn't it enough to just use your own consciousness to establish the timeline?"

"Although human gods like you and divine children like Xiaowan can both use their consciousness to re-establish the timeline within themselves to avoid excessive loss of time in the chaotic space and time, there is one difference between you... that is the strength of your power." No. 7 said, "Even if you take the Three Lives Stone Powder, you will not be poisoned to death, because your strength can support the excess drug power that has nowhere to vent... Xiaowan does not have the same specifications.

"Even if she follows the correct technique, it will be useless if she lacks strength. Just like a mortal child, no matter how good he is at weightlifting, he can't really lift more than 200 kilograms.

"Although just one fragment of the Divine Seal is enough to provide the power of the Great Impermanence, Xiaowan's body will not be able to support it. Even the No. 1 Dog can only support such a powerful output with the help of Ying Lingyun's super transformation technology. Others can't do that. However, three fragments of the Divine Seal can establish a stable internal structure, so as not to harm Xiaowan himself."

She really is less and less willing to act, even Ying Lingyun's name escaped her mouth.

"Xiaowan itself is bound to a fragment of the divine seal, and Huangquan Gospel Temple also has a fragment of the divine seal. I can take the initiative to transfer the latter to you, and I can also provide the specific technology necessary to practice this method... but the last piece is still missing." No. 7 said.

The fragments of the divine seal that have been bound to me and No. 7 cannot be given to others for use. The fragments of the divine seal that are given to Xiaowan must be ownerless.

I summoned a wooden box from the flames and opened it, revealing the fragments of the ownerless divine seal stored inside.

"I have the last one for you," I said.

Number 7 was slightly startled. She took a deep look at the wooden box and said, "...Then, as long as the subsequent operations are successful, we can help Xiaowan recover his memory."

“However, if the number of bound Divine Seal fragments increases to three, the connection with the Void Realm and the Lord of the Divine Seal will be greatly deepened…” I looked at the small bowl.

According to what No. 7 said, it is impossible for Xiaowan to use three God Seal fragments at the same time without binding them. Once the Void Apostle comes into contact with the other two God Seal fragments, they will be automatically bound. "It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, the degree of binding between me and the God Seal fragments is already very high. Even if I bind two more, there will be no essential change. And I can also use my prayer power to weaken the connection after it becomes stronger to the initial state." Xiaowan did not avoid No. 7 when he spoke.

I don't know if she was just trying to dispel my concerns. She once said that her power to call for miracles couldn't be used on herself. She said that she couldn't pray for herself because she lacked the desire to live. Or did she not want to die that much now?

For her now, there is really no difference between binding one fragment of the divine seal and binding three fragments, so I agreed with her reasoning and this plan.

After finalizing the details of the plan, No. 7 was about to leave the meeting room.

"Next, I will go and finalize the details of the battle with all parties of the Tai Sui Army. You can just wander around the base first. I will notify you when the battle begins." She said, "By the way, please don't tell anyone else here about the truth about this 'doomsday era' that I just told you. They don't know those secrets, and who knows what will happen if you tell them."

The survivors of the "Apocalypse" seem to have a tendency to self-destruct. Although I don't know if it is the same as "people with low self-esteem tend to show arrogant personalities", they all have contradictory sides. While they have a strong desire to survive, they also have a strong desire to die.

I really don’t know what kind of chemical reaction will occur if those mentally ill people realize that they have been surviving in the afterlife all along.

Xiaowan seems to have mixed emotions about this, but her stance is different from that of ordinary doomsday survivors, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

After No. 7 walked out of the conference room, I turned to look at Xiao Wan and asked, "Xiao Wan, if you can really weaken the connection between yourself and the virtual world, then can you also completely cut off this connection?"

"If Brother Zhuang Cheng wants to completely clear the connection between himself and the virtual world, I should be able to do it even if it takes many days." Xiao Wan said, "But if the connection he wants to clear is between me and the virtual world, then it is definitely impossible."

Of course, I couldn't completely sever the connection between myself and the virtual world, so I rejected it and focused on the second half of the question, "Why can't I do it?"

"Because the connection with the Void Realm is the connection with the Divine Seal Fragment. And the power I use to weaken and remove it is the power of the Divine Seal Fragment." Xiao Wan said helplessly, "After weakening the connection on my side to the initial state, it will be like lifting myself up with my own hands... The more I weaken the connection, the weaker my power will be; and if the power is too weak, it will no longer be able to be used to weaken the connection."

The power that can help others cannot help oneself, and this seems to be not the first time that Xiaowan has experienced this.

She herself didn't seem to take it too seriously, and then asked, "Brother Zhuang Cheng, how is your analysis of the doomsday era... and the time and space order of the afterlife? Can you catch up with the battle later?"

"No problem. Thanks to your blessing. Although I can't be as free as in the modern world, I should not have any problems fighting now."

I clenched my fist and gave my own thoughts, "Especially after hearing that the apocalypse is actually the afterlife... I feel like I have broken through the last barrier and can understand the time and space here more correctly."

"That's good." Xiao Wan said happily, "Before you set out to raid Huangquan Gospel Temple, I will give you some more blessing states. Although it cannot directly increase your strength, it should be able to provide considerable help in other aspects.

As she spoke, she sighed from the bottom of her heart, "If only I had the strength to fight head-on..."

In the following battles, Xiaowan can only be assigned to the rear. Even if she has the power to increase the blessing state, I can't allow her, who has no combat ability, to go to the battlefield.

For even greater safety, I put thermal markers all over her body and gave her a dozen "fireflies", striving to keep her under my surveillance at all times.

In the final moments, we followed No. 7's advice and moved around inside the Tai Sui Army's stronghold, waiting for the signal to start the battle.
