The puppet Black Tower carefully examined the star core before it, and then exchanged their research findings with Su Mo.
"The Holy Grail is a corrupted wish-granting machine made of a large amount of energy. If you want to study it, I'll make one for you later, but let's not discuss that now."
"In short, if the power of the star core is so pure, then the power of the star core may be closer to the origin than the energy of destiny. The energy of destiny is actually an imaginary energy that has been specifically differentiated."
Su Mo added.
"Just as the Holy Grail responds to the wishes of a particular life, the frequency within the star core can also resonate with the spiritual frequency of intelligent life, and then be infected by the will of intelligent life, ultimately creating the illusion of responding to the wishes of intelligent life."
The star core itself has no self-awareness. The reason it exhibits self-awareness is entirely due to the consciousness of the mirror reflector.
Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Cocolia's eyes widened in surprise. She had always regarded the Star Core as a wish-granting machine and had never heard of such a mechanism inside the Star Core.
Therefore, the voices you hear are not actually from the will of the star core, but rather you are hoping to receive guidance from the star core, and the star core passively fulfills your wish?
If that's the case, wouldn't my previous assumptions be correct?
If the Star Core really is a wish-granting machine, then wouldn't my plan actually be able to save Belloberg?
Thinking of this, she immediately looked at Su Mo.
Before he could even speak, Black Tower asked a question with great interest.
"You're saying that what the star core fulfills is just an illusion of a wish?"
"It's less about fulfilling a wish and more about fulfilling a person's entire mind."
Su Mo nodded.
"The manifestation of the power of the stellar core is only related to the mental frequency of intelligent life. In other words, if it can truly fulfill desires, it can only fulfill the thoughts deep within one's heart."
"However, humans cannot control their subconscious."
"Given the complexity of the human mind, without spiritual training and without reaching a level of enlightenment, the desires existing in the subconscious often deviate from the owner's own thoughts."
Rather than comparing the Star Core to the Holy Grail or Black Grail of the Type-Moon universe, it's more accurate to say that the Star Core resembles the Hogyoku of the Bleach universe.
If the master possesses a pure belief and an unwavering will, the star core can become the master's power like the most obedient tool, never turning against its master.
However, if the leader's beliefs are not pure enough, and they do not believe in the wishes they make, then serious problems often arise.
"If one makes a wish to eliminate a disaster, but subconsciously does not believe that the disaster can be eliminated so easily, then the final result will be a Pyrrhic victory that the wisher feels is the most reasonable... Perhaps she herself will suffer greatly because of this Pyrrhic victory, but she cannot change the fact that she subconsciously feels that this result is more reasonable."
Su Mo glanced at Cocolia, then continued.
"Human will is inherently distorted and conflicted. Influenced by external factors, the desire to achieve a goal and the belief that one is absolutely incapable of achieving it can coexist in the same person's mind."
"Under this premise, the power of the star core will conform to all conflicting ideas, achieving construction through destruction, rebirth through death, loyalty through betrayal, and redemption through self-destruction."
Upon hearing these words, Cocolia was struck dumb, frozen in place.
Whether it was the first Great Guardian Alisa's wish for the Star Core, or her desire for the Star Core, they all seemed to perfectly match Su Mo's characteristics.
They longed for a miracle, yet dared not believe in one, and ultimately could only achieve their wish through destruction.
Just as the great cold wave destroyed the antimatter legion and nearly wiped out the planet, so too did she want to use destruction to give the entire civilization a new lease on life.
Her fears, her cowardice, and her doubts were all accurately described by Su Mo in front of her!
Black Tower didn't pay attention to Cocolia's expression. After listening to Su Mo's words, she nodded with interest.
"So, it's not that the star core distorts desires, but rather that mortal desires themselves are distorted?"
"Hearing you say that, I'm suddenly even more interested in star cores. After you've used this, could you lend it to me for a bit, or perhaps lend me your star core spirit daughter?"
Hearing her words, Su Mo shook his head.
"Don't ask me about Xing. She should agree if I give her some money. However, her star core is very stable, so for safety reasons, we can't conduct too many extreme tests."
“This hostless star core is different. I called you here to help adjust and test the limits of the star core and thoroughly understand its material structure. There’s no need to explore the specific implementation of the internal structure; I only need the physical model.”
"The tests are fine, but... what about the physical structure model?"
Hearing this request, Black Tower was slightly taken aback.
She opened her mouth, and thinking of the machine army that was now equipped with antimatter engines and dark matter engines, she suddenly had a very bold conjecture.
"Wait a minute? You don't mean you're planning to create your own star core, do you?!"
"To be precise, it's about mass-producing star cores."
Su Mo corrected.
"..."
Black Tower was stunned.
Even the God of Destruction is very interested in the star core, so naturally many people want to study it. However, neither the Black Tower nor the Interstellar Peace Corporation has ever considered mass-producing star cores.
Because this is simply impossible.
Exploring the structural model of a star's core is already extremely difficult, but it is still within the realm of overcoming challenges. Companies that can even master memory have their own strengths.
The problem is that there is a huge gap between knowing what the structure of a star's core is and knowing how to achieve that structure.
Just as everyone knows the elemental composition of the sun, yet almost no one can actually create one, many naturally occurring things would require millions of times more resources to be mass-produced artificially.
Theoretically feasible versus practically feasible is perhaps a hundred Amber Ages apart.
Logically speaking, the Black Tower would never have considered this possibility.
But based on her understanding of Su Mo, Su Mo had already accomplished similar miracles.
Those dark matter engines, which can only be built from fragments of the Twilight Beast, were originally intended to be purely consumables. Each one required fragments of the Twilight Beast to be manufactured, and mass production was impossible without the raw materials.
However, not long after meeting Dr. Zun, he somehow completed the mass production of antimatter engines and anti-energy engines, and successfully replaced the original power system of the Machine Race, raising the Machine Race army to the level of a planet destroyer per capita.
Based on this case, Black Tower believes that Su Mo could indeed potentially achieve mass production of star cores.
But rationally, she finds it hard to accept this.
"To create something like a star core based solely on a material structure model—even a Star God wouldn't be this outrageous... Su Mo, tell me honestly, are you some newly born Star God who's just here to amuse me?"
The doll-like girl looked at Su Mo with a serious expression, wondering if this guy was the incarnation of the God of Pleasure.
As a scientist, Su Mo's abilities were a hundred times more outrageous than those of someone who could manually create a four-nanometer chip, making it impossible for her to ignore him.
Su Mo immediately shook his head in response to Black Tower's question.
“I’m not that bored, and didn’t I say from the beginning… I won’t become a Star God.”
"Yeah, but it still feels very suspicious..."
Black Tower nodded, then muttered something under his breath.
Logically, no star god could do such a thing, but in reality, there is indeed a star god who could do it, which makes her unable to fully trust her judgment.
Hearing the two talking when no one else was around, he realized that neither of them seemed to take him, the Great Guardian, seriously, and the things they said were enough to terrify this isolated native.
Cocolia hesitated for a long time, until the two temporarily stopped communicating, before she hesitantly raised one hand and tentatively said.
"Gentlemen, is it possible that this star core is not an unclaimed star core, but has its own owner?"
Upon hearing this, both of them simultaneously turned their gazes to Cocolia's face, their expressions becoming completely blank in unison.
"Hmm?" X2.
Hearing this extremely threatening voice and seeing the star core being tossed back and forth between the two, they dared not move an inch.
Cocolia swallowed hard and mustered her courage to look down at her toes.
"No, it's nothing. This is an unclaimed star core. Please make yourselves at home."
Unable to see her toes, she immediately gave up.
I can't afford to mess with them.
166 The Saber King Who Protects Fate, the Holy Sword of the Stars
Under the watchful eyes of the Silvermane Iron Guards, the Great Guardian Cocolia led a group of strangers out of the city.
Although most of the Silvermane Guards, including Jepard, were worried, they ultimately did not follow under Cocolia's orders, but simply watched them leave.
Several tens of minutes later, Jepard suddenly felt that the wind and snow in the sky seemed to have intensified considerably.
The great cold wave that had descended more than seven hundred years ago seemed to have intensified once again, with wind and snow swirling towards the sky like an ever-dancing ice dragon.
"I hope Lady Cocolia is alright..."
Jepard was slightly worried.
But think about it, the Great Guardian Cocolia wields the Builder's spear and possesses the power of protection. Even in such a snowstorm, she should not be in danger.
I just don't know what the Great Guardian is doing with those people.
Moreover, I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but ever since they entered the restricted area, the weather around them seems to be changing more and more drastically.
Sometimes blizzards rage, sometimes the sun shines brightly.
What exactly happened inside?
Out of duty as a Silvermane Guard, despite his great curiosity, Jepard remained steadfast in his post and refused to allow anyone to breach this barrier.
This was an order given to him by the High Guardian, and even if the future High Guardian Bronya came in person, he could not give way.
Jepard thought Cocolia's words were just for emphasis, but he never expected that Bronya would actually arrive half a day later, accompanied by a group of people, some familiar and some unfamiliar.
Among them were his own sister and a wanted criminal.
"There's no time to go into details. We've tracked this all the way here and suspect that Mother has been bewitched by the Star Core. Jepard, get out of the way!"
During this half-day, thanks to Su Mo, March 7 and Xing received good hospitality and quickly found clues from the lower levels, and began to suspect Cocolia's purpose.
As they followed Su Mo's trail and investigated, they soon grasped the truth.
Despite her disbelief, Bronya still wanted to confront Cocolia, her adoptive mother, in person to understand her thoughts.
Therefore, following Cocolia's trail, they traced her all the way here.
Faced with Bronya's one-sided account, which still questioned his own Supreme Leader, the rigid Jepard naturally rejected her request outright.
Although he knew Bronya wasn't that kind of person, he still couldn't let go of that possibility.
Otherwise, whoever wants to become the Grand Guardian can simply claim that the current Grand Guardian is being misled by the Star Core without any evidence. If that succeeds, wouldn't it open a door to political infighting?
