Chapter 1410: Chapter 1138 Precise Analysis_3
"Data analysis in progress, acquiring standard data from control samples."
The data acquired by Long Er was immediately fed back to Long Yi’s Giant tablet.
From the data, it could be seen that these worm clones were quite simple. Their basic structure was no different from ordinary worms, consisting of basic conscious fragments, but there was not much content in their memories. At the deepest level of memory, the content about devouring their kin and becoming deities had been replaced with absolute loyalty to the false god, Simu.
However, it was clear that the manufacturing level of these worm avatars was not high, containing many crude defects internally. Even if left alone, the lifespan of these worms could barely last a year.
Clearly, he had overestimated the false god’s capabilities.
Consecutive analyses magnified the worm’s defects, to the point where the creature didn’t even need external force to collapse by itself.
Thus, a second worm was released. Long Er analyzed it again and through the analysis, Long Yi could basically judge that the power of the false god Simu was not weak. It had already controlled the Divine Envoys, could freely use Divine Power, and also possessed a god-like ability to create—although weak.
One worm after another was analyzed, and more information was acquired. Finally, when only two worms were left, Long Yi felt he had gathered enough information.
"Let’s go," Long Yi led everyone out of the laboratory, leaving the two remaining worms unaware of why Long Yi had spared them; they only knew they had narrowly escaped a fate.
"Next, it’s time to find a new master for these worms," Long Yi said to Little Zi in another laboratory.
At this point, Little Zi was already prepared. Long Yi had previously helped Little Zi acquire some Dragon Clan followers, when Little Zi was posing as an Ascender. Now, Long Yi needed these worms to believe that Little Zi was the false god Simu. Only then would all the Dragon Clan controlled by the worms obey Little Zi. To make the worms believe Little Zi was the false god Simu, it was obvious that Little Zi needed to have the characteristics of a false god.
Firstly, a false god Simu possessed a Divine Soul. Naturally, Little Zi currently possessed the most complete Divine Soul, one even the Creator God Simu did not have.
Then, Little Zi needed to have sufficient information about the Divine Worm.
This was where the test of Long Yi’s skills came in.
The Gluttonous Snake had once devoured enough Divine Worms, which theoretically were all parts of that original complete Divine Worm. Just as Long Yi had previously reconstructed the Divine Soul through reverse engineering, he could similarly reconstruct a Divine Worm in this way.
The Divine Worm was a rule-based, magic life form, its essence merely a segment of consciousness. However, consciousness itself cannot exist independently; it must adhere to some carrier. Yet, there had been many instances when Divine Worms had been peeled off from Divine Souls, which meant that the Divine Worm was not merely a simple consciousness, there was still something that carried its consciousness.
Now, with the help of Long Er and thorough detailed analysis, Long Yi finally understood that the carrier of the Divine Worm consciousness was a very special rule. This rule, like a shell, wrapped the consciousness of the Divine Worm, maintaining the creature’s activity for a short period. When the Divine Worm parasitized a certain organism, this rule would automatically disappear, only reappearing when the Divine Worm left the host again.
Long Er helped Long Yi decipher this rule.
All magic had patterns to follow, although the rule was very complex, and Long Yi had never seen it before. But now he had the help of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Soon, the Heavenly Kingdom provided the redundant part of the rule, starting the rule completion.
As the rule was being completed, Long Yi was also completing the worm’s body.
Long Yi did not believe these Divine Worms were merely simple conscious beings, because according to his own experiences and the worms that the Gluttonous Snake had eaten, each worm fragment had different memories. If they were said to be merely composed of consciousness, there would definitely be differences in consciousness, after all, they had been split. In fact, deep in their memories, they all had memories of devouring their kind to become true gods. And when Long Yi altered this part of the memory, they were still Divine Worms.
This was somewhat incomprehensible to Long Yi.
However, this meant there was still some secret hidden deep within these worms, a secret that could prove they were worms!
Thus, a group returned to the laboratory.
At this time, only two sealed worms remained.
One crystal was opened, and the worm was coiled out by the Gluttonous Snake. Just as Long Er was recommencing the analysis, the worm shockingly charged toward the Gluttonous Snake—it was always the Gluttonous Snake that did the devouring; it had never seen its prey rush up on its own! In the blink of an eye, the worm was completely devoured by the Gluttonous Snake.
"Well, now there’s only one left," Long Yi said somewhat helplessly.
Thus, a group surrounded the only remaining worm inside the crystal.
The moment the crystal shattered, Long Er’s Beam had already struck it, giving it no chance to escape or commit suicide. But this time, Long Er did not force the analysis; instead, Long Yi took over. The Giant’s scepter emitted a glow, starting to analyze the composition of the Divine Worm from an even more fundamental level.
The Giant’s scepter was a treasure of the Giant race, theoretically able to analyze anything made up of energy and matter. Whether the Divine Worm was a rule-based life or a consciousness-based life, at the root, it was still composed of these two, so the Giant’s scepter should be able to find something more fundamental.
This was like, if you wanted to get grain from a seed, if it was Long Er doing the analysis, he would get the method of planting the grain. But if it was the Giant’s scepter analyzing, it would get the precise composition of the seed. The former was simpler, yet might not truly understand what a seed was. But the latter was more accurate, though the trouble involved was not trivial.
After all, now that there was only one Divine Worm left, Long Yi could only choose this extreme method. (To be continued.
