Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 179 Body Limitations
Before I knew it, the night passed.

The effects of the clarity potion gradually wore off.

Celine saw Roy coming out, looking thoughtful, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Beside him, Atidiya was staring at him with a look of surprise and a hint of greed.

"Nothing happened to me." Roy came back to his senses and said in confusion.

"You said nothing happened, but you even forgot to wear your mask!" Celine said.

Roy looked at her, then at Atidiya, sighed, and covered his face with his hands.

The visor inside the helmet extended out, covering the handsome face again.

At first, he isolated himself in order to prevent radiation contamination, hiding his entire body in silver armor.

Later, he gradually became able to control the source of his magic power and suppress the sudden surge of his mental strength, but he did not remove it immediately.

He analyzed his own psychology and guessed that it might not be as simple as habit becoming second nature, but rather a kind of psychological defense instinct.

I subconsciously feel that this handsome self after the transformation is the real me.

He is not too willing to let people know that he has a mediocre "predecessor".

"If one day in the future, I meet Sophia, Oren, Baru and others, will they still recognize me as I am now?"

Suddenly, Roy turned to look at Celine and asked a strange question.

"Of course," Celine said.

"Wizards don't rely on appearances to recognize people. Otherwise, with all the methods of adventuring, projection, and parasitism, wouldn't everything be a mess?"

Roy asked, "Then why weren't you recognized at the time?"

Celine said, "At that time, except for my brain, I was still myself. My whole body was that of Senior Sofia. Plus, I was deliberately disguising myself. They weren't real wizards, so it's normal that they couldn't recognize me."

"So, the human soul and consciousness still follow the brain, right?

What we usually call the body is not the real body."

Roy said thoughtfully.

"The body is just a shell similar to a machine. The brain is the real body and the driver!"

"According to Senior Sister Sophia's research on witchcraft, it should be like this...

Even when a person's head is chopped off, they still retain consciousness for a short period of time. Many wizards have chopped off their own heads or the heads of their experimental subjects...

But precisely because the brain is the body, the place where the soul resides, Sophia-senpai couldn't completely remove it, and could only replace the entire brain."

Celine has participated in related research...

Although it is being studied...

But at least it’s participation.

Still have some knowledge reserves.

Roy nodded in conviction.

This is consistent with some of the claims he has seen recently.

Roy suddenly thought of a method that far surpassed Sophia's "head-cutting and brain-replacing" method.

That is to completely abandon this brain and move on to a new brain!

"Normally speaking, even a great wizard wouldn't be able to achieve this kind of soul-level transfer without extensive research.

But I'm different.

I can definitely do it!
And it has been done successfully!"

In the next few days, Roy continued to study this problem.

It just so happened that the field of golems involved "soul studies", so Roy took the opportunity to ask his teacher for advice in the name of studying golems.

“The relationship between the soul and the brain?”

Frost pondered for a moment.

"Many people often separate the soul from the brain, believing that the soul is a kind of idealistic, ethereal spiritual thing, while the brain is an objective material existence...

It has to be said that this is a very confusing statement, and it also fits the contradictory dialectic between matter and consciousness.

However, what if you immerse the brain in a nutrient tank to create a real virtual illusion?
Mortals have no way of seeing true colors or feeling true smells.

Mortals have no way of truly touching matter; they rely on the forces between matter to sense it...

It's all in the brain. It's the brain that's causing all the trouble.

As long as the illusion is real and perfect enough to deceive the brain, it is no different from reality.

By analogy, our entire world could be an illusory dream, our body is the nutrient tank, and even our 'real' 'brain' is outside the dream...

There has never been matter, only consciousness!
When alchemical life developed to a certain level, the process of the birth of souls in many natural or artificial lives was gradually observed, and it was discovered that the movement of brain cells coincided with the generation of wisdom and consciousness.

If the brain is compared to a world, and the cells inside it are compared to the universe, then the soul consciousness of intelligent life and the so-called world will actually have great similarities.

Some great wizards even believe that a planet, a world, is actually a special form of life...

It is actually the collective consciousness of all beings in the world, and within it, it also contains the essence of the soul, as well as the secret of igniting the divine fire and ascending to the throne of god."

"This is actually related to becoming a god!"

Roy was shocked.

"Of course, the only original thing in the world is the soul. A pure soul is God, and a chaotic soul is human. Isn't this simple enough?

In a desolate and primitive world, life was born due to the emergence of soul consciousness. This is the process of the emergence of world will.

The original natural gods also came from the spirituality of all things in heaven and earth.

If evolution reaches a certain stage, intelligent beings will emerge, and with the progress of civilization, personal gods will be born...

That will manifest as gathering faith and igniting the divine fire.

To put it bluntly, the secret to becoming a god at the Grand Wizard level and above is just that simple! "

Frost is indeed worthy of being a third-level wizard, a figure who is far from being a fourth-level wizard.

In just a few words, many of Roy's doubts were explained.

Looking back, many countries and nations share the same myths and legends...

The creation of the heavens and the earth, the evolution of all things, the birth of life, the rise of wisdom and civilization...

There are indeed traces to follow!
Of course, these are not the point.

The key point is what the teacher just mentioned, "In the desolate and primitive world, life was born because of the emergence of soul consciousness"!
"This actually talks about the process of a blank brain giving birth to a soul and consciousness!
The birth of soul and consciousness is actually closely related to the brain.

It’s as if the number of brain cells has grown, the neurons are connected and functioning, and consciousness is born…”

It is not difficult to draw a conclusion - the soul and the brain are indeed closely connected, and it is not as simple as "house" and "resident"!
One's spirituality, consciousness, and a priori talents are indeed restricted by the physical body!

This naturally leads to a conclusion.

Maybe, I really need to change my body... or even my brain.

Only in this way can one completely break free from the shackles of one's predecessor and truly allow one's soul to grow to its fullest!
