Chapter 678 The hypothesis failed and a special spiritual grafting method was discovered!
Locke summoned a full moon growth, which reflected the resonance of the collective consciousness of these Dunemen, and amplified and focused it on one person through magic. Locke looked at the Dunemen on the rock and found that...he had not changed at all.
Locke used the moonlight in time to inject a holy spring nectar potion that was diluted a thousand times into the body of the Dune Man, which prevented him from dying.
Locke said: "Miscalculation. My hypothesis of the evolution of group consciousness resonance was immediately falsified by me. I captured the telepathic echoes of these Dune people, and was indeed able to capture those needs based on survival, and projected these ideas onto this Dune man, but failed."
"There is no change at all. This shows that the hypothesis I proposed before is wrong."
Locke disagreed with this. Putting forward the hypothesis was an immediate refutation.
Even if I had just used Full Moon Growth to successfully accelerate the evolution of the Dunemen, I still need to determine whether another group of Dunemen without Stone Spirit belief would undergo similar evolution.
Locke thought: "My idea just now is indeed a bit outrageous. I can evolve if I want to? Thinking about it carefully, it is really nonsense."
"Okay. I may have been led astray by the rituals of these Dune people. Their rituals are just a product of their own lack of understanding and can only rely on paths. "
Locke walked around the rock and suddenly frowned. There were many small ferns growing around the rock, and these ferns had fleshy roots running across them.
Locke picked one of the plants, put it under his nose and smelled it, frowning at the same time.
As a potion master close to the second level, he instantly realized that there were several ingredients inside this mortal plant that played a key role in determining the physical changes of mortals.
"I may have guessed wrong before."
Locke thought: "The resonance of group consciousness may exist, but it does not act on the bodies of the Dune people themselves, but on these plants."
"Animals and plants are two sides of the same coin in nature, and the two are closely related. Perhaps it is not the biological will that resonates with group consciousness that allows an organism to evolve."
"This is unreasonable speculation."
"The span is really too big. What if the plants themselves have some kind of mechanism that can accept the wishes of the animals in the environment and make some changes to help the animals survive?"
Locke put forward his second hypothesis. "The Dune People's rudimentary telepathic abilities amplify this effect."
"Ordinary creatures may lack the ability to communicate, or lack the long-lasting and strong emotions that would allow plants to produce corresponding changes in a relatively short period of time."
“In botany, there have been many phenomena of interaction between magic plants and animals. They interact with natural magic structural components through sound, forming co-evolution. It’s just that these plants in the dune plane are just ordinary plants, and most importantly, there seems to be some mechanism to accelerate the speed of evolution.”
I am very interested in this myself.
But it may be just empty joy. If it is just a simple effect of plants on the human body, it is meaningless.
Because this is a common relationship between plants and animals.
Early potion science and current herbal medicine specialize in extracting special ingredients from magic plants to play a specific role.
The key lies in the mechanism that might accelerate evolution, not in what happened to the Dune People.
It is also very simple to falsify.
Locke immediately used the full moon to grow and shine on a fern in the corner of the rock. At the same time, he reflected the resonance of the group consciousness that the Dune people gathered during the ceremony on a fern.
Locke also used a ring of magic, Rapid Growth, to promote growth.
As a result, the fern experienced a boom, then a decline, spreading its spores, and eventually withering rapidly.
"Nothing has changed. This idea is also wrong."
Locke frowned.
He walked into the natural caves where the dune people lived, and indeed saw some simple stone tools used to smash the curled leaves of ferns.
"That dune man has serious magical contamination on his body, and it is impossible to use ordinary mortal herbal mixtures to prolong his life."
"So, it cannot be simply regarded as a simple application of herbalism. This is too nonsense."
"But if it were so easy to discover, this phenomenon should have been widespread." Locke squatted down, checked the types of fern leaves smashed by mortals in the dunes, and used archaeological magic to reproduce the prototype.
"They are all simple mortal ferns."
"It is impossible to have such a miraculous effect. Unless these ferns have evolved specifically for the Dune people."
"Therefore, they have a special effect on the blood essence of the Dune people and can help the Dune people's blood essence to produce corresponding effects. But I have tried the echo of demand formed by the Dune people through telepathy and rituals. Even if it is reflected by me to these ferns, there is no corresponding change at all. "
Locke fell into long thought.
Either you have to find a way to get the dune people to eat these plants and repeatedly verify the effect, or else you can directly reproduce through thinking the certain mechanism by which the dune people caused these ferns to evolve in a specific way and accelerated the evolution.
"Is it because there was not enough time that it failed? No, I have already used accelerated growth."
"I have shortened the growth cycle of plants. These are just ordinary plants. I can easily make their flowers bloom and fall dozens of times in one second. There have been several reincarnations just now."
Locke thought: "Could it be that this thinking direction is also wrong?"
If nothing else, the strange vitality of the Dune Man is very abnormal.
Either the Dune people are thicker-skinned and more talented than the wizards thought, or there must be some mechanism that has not yet been discovered.
"Is it not a group consciousness, or some kind of spiritual fusion?"
Locke blinked and immediately denied it. "No, the grafting cultivation method involves grafting magical plants with magical creatures. Such magical plants merge with the spirituality of animals and will become violent."
Locke looked at the stone that was worshiped as a god, "Think about it in reverse, if there is some mechanism in living things that can affect plants and accelerate the evolution of plants, and then plants accelerate the evolution of organisms. Then why haven't wizards discovered it for a long time? It's probably that the wizarding society lacks this kind of thing, or that the wizarding society does not lack it, but the wizards lack it."
"That's religious belief."
Locke's eyes lit up. "I have been thinking about it before, but I have all gone astray. If you think about it carefully, only special plants will appear around the stone. These dune people will benefit from taking these plants, so they think it is given to them by the stone."
"Then what happened?"
Locke used the wizard’s vision—spiritual vision. He saw that the stone’s spirituality was very special. It was obviously a dead object, but it possessed the spirituality of a large number of living people.
Because of the worship of the Dune people, these spirits stayed in the stones for a long time, and at the same time some spirits drifted out and fell on the surrounding ferns.
"So, it is possible that spirituality is the key." Locke thought: "The spirituality of animals, directly integrated with plants, will cause the plants to strengthen in a short period of time, become violent, and then rapidly decline. There are less than one successful grafting method out of ten."
"But it is not that there are no successful grafting methods!"
“If after the transformation of faith, over time, a special spirituality that removes animality is produced, it can even be said to be a special spirituality that is a special product, and when combined with plants, special changes seem to be born.” Locke realized this and immediately He directly stretched out his hand, grabbed the stone with one palm of Mist's power, and extracted a part of the special spirituality from it. Then Locke did not choose to infuse this precious special spirituality into the surrounding ordinary ferns, but instead poured it into an ordinary sea golden sand that he took out from the astral ring.
Locke used the growth of the full moon, and used the connection characteristics of this huge magic blueprint to connect the spirituality of the golden sands of the sea with that special spirituality. The two merged like water and milk, and merged.
Immediately afterwards, in Locke's nervous eyes, the fern leaves of this sea golden sand began to tremble abnormally, and were on the verge of becoming violent, but this abnormality soon disappeared.
The whole Haijinsha plant has undergone special changes, and its leaves have become serrated.
Locke was delighted. "I guessed it right. The way of integrating this special spirituality can allow plants to undergo a certain degree of special evolution."
"So, it is not a resonance of group consciousness, but these special spiritualities have passively merged with the spirituality of the plants around the stone over a long period of time, and these plants have produced corresponding changes."
Locke's eyes changed slightly. "Because these spiritualities are originally generated based on various wishes, after the special transformation of the stone, the human spirituality is also washed away and transformed into a special state of spirituality."
"So, after these plants passively absorbed part of the special spirituality, they came up with a way to help the Dune people evolve, and may help the Dune people get out of their current predicament."
Locke thought: "Of course, to achieve this special rapid evolution mechanism, the following conditions are required. It is indeed a coincidence to get them together."
"First, this is a joy. A nation that likes to worship a dead object. "
"Second, this nation likes to make wishes on dead objects and hopes for some kind of evolution."
"Third, this nation has a telepathic ability that can create a resonance of group consciousness and strengthen its own spiritual residue. No matter how much ordinary creatures worship a dead object, they may not be able to retain their own spirituality."
"There must be many races that meet this requirement in the endless void. But it is indeed not that common. Just a higher-strength telepathic racial talent has blocked many civilizations."
"Secondly, this civilization must also like to worship dead objects." Locke thought: "This dead object can be transformed into a special god state."
Locke looked strange. "Racial talents with telepathy are easier to satisfy in the wizarding world. But wizards in the wizarding world have no access to religion."
"At least they have no access to normal religion. Let alone this kind of primitive religion. Moreover, I suspect that only this kind of worship of stone objects, or even only the worship of stones, can produce this kind of special spirituality."
"The world rules of the wizarding world seem to be different. Worshiping dead objects cannot produce any special changes at all."
"Among the major colonial worlds, there is a lack of races with such high innate telepathy..."
Locke realized that this special situation is likely to be related to the rules of the world.
That is to say, the rules of the world must allow people to worship a certain dead object. The dead object has the rule to transform and store people's spirituality.
This rule does not exist in the wizarding world.
Hence, this is destined that the wizards in the wizarding world, at least in the wizarding world, cannot discover the mechanism by which this special spirituality can be integrated with magic plants to accelerate evolution.
And when wizards in the wizarding world go to the major colonial planes, it is indeed difficult to find such subtle things.
Especially this kind of subtle thing is very rare in the major colonial planes.
Races with such high telepathic abilities rarely remain in primitive worship.
It's just that the Dune people are in a special situation and have suffered a serious regression in civilization.
Locke whispered: "It is indeed difficult to detect. If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't have noticed this detail. This is based on the fact that I am a potion master, so I am so sensitive to how many minutes a mortal can live. How can other wizards care about the life span of a mortal in a few minutes."
"Even so, my previous thoughts were all wrong guesses."
“But this mechanism can indeed allow plants to evolve rapidly to a certain extent. The desire of these Dune people is to survive through evolution, but if I put together these three conditions, what if I find a race whose desire is simply to let the magic plants evolve?”
"Is it possible to evolve the magic plant more purely."
"Just in this case, I need a race with high spiritual talent to worship a dead object for me and help me collect this special spirituality." Locke looked at the group of Dune people. "These Dune People can do it, but the number is too small. I want more and more. Their population is currently less than one in ten. Even if they all come to help me, they still can't meet my request."
“No wonder wizards need to conquer the colonial world. This... I need more races like the Dune people to collect enough special spirituality for me to use for magic plant spiritual grafting experiments.”
Needs a race like the Dune people who naturally have high spiritual and emotional talents.
Locke swept through the group of Dune People. "In that case, I will find a way to take them away later. At this moment, I will help them clean up the pollution around them and let them maintain their status quo."
"Anyway, if there is a chance to leave the dune plane, these people should not have a love affair with the earth."
