Chapter 32 Basic Consciousness Structure Optimization Guide: The First Step to Extraordinary Success
"There's hope for immortality!"
After taking a shower and throwing his dirty, smelly clothes into the washing machine, Hu Biao lay back down on the bed.
I began to organize the information I had gathered and to study that ruined temple.
Immortality may be within reach!
At least that's the information he's gleaned from the ruins of the Third Civilization for now.
"The Sowing Era... The Faith Harvesting System..."
The meaning behind these two terms is far more complex, darker, and more...scientific than it appears on the surface.
Yes, it's science.
This isn't superstition, it's science!
The Third Civilization's understanding and approach to "faith" is not a concept in the religious or mystical sense, but rather a rigorous, systematic, and almost engineering-like concept.
To put it bluntly, the highly advanced race in the Third Civilization has chosen a different path of evolution and technology.
From his current human perspective, the core of a civilization's development lies in energy. Humans on Earth, for example, rely on fossil fuels, green energy, and nuclear energy. These energy sources are the underlying driving forces behind human development. One of the energy sources in this civilization is the spiritual power transformed from the faith of intelligent beings. They regard the "faith" generated by intelligent beings as a special form of energy or information flow and have developed a complete technological system for its collection, purification, storage, and application.
The remnants of the Third Civilization can be seen as a kind of faith collection and processing terminal; although damaged, its basic functions are still intact.
Hu Biao's gaze fell on the main hall of the ruins once again, but this time, his feelings were completely different from before.
After the luminous patterns dimmed, the structure of the entire hall was revealed to him in a completely new way. It was no longer a simple geometric space, but a sophisticated multi-level system.
The outermost layer is a faith receiving array; the intricate patterns on the walls and dome form a massive antenna array to receive faith fluctuations of specific frequencies. The middle layer is a primary filtering and guiding system that categorizes and initially purifies the received raw faith streams. The core area contains the "faith pool" and the "control system," where a crystallized faith should reside...
His gaze fell on the "stones" scattered on the ground...
They were not ordinary stones, but fragments of faith crystals. In his newly acquired perception, their interiors exhibited a complex structure, with layers upon layers of miniature rune arrays enveloping an extremely tiny energy core. He couldn't understand this structure either; he only knew that faith crystals were solid-state storage units of faith energy formed after being highly purified and compressed.
Of course, that's not important. What's important is that he made contact with this temple, which, in a sense, seems to have given him access to a "system".
In the blink of an eye, a massive light screen appeared out of thin air in the hall. A torrent of data washed down, filling the screen and constantly shifting, eventually forming the Eastern script he could understand.
[Third Era Faith Node - Sub-site - ID: ??? (Database missing)]
[Status: Severely damaged (97.3% functional failure)]
[Energy Level: 0.0003% (Faith Pool Reserve)]
Current Faith Connection: 175 (weak)
Purification efficiency: 12.7% (Standard efficiency: 99.99%)
Available features:
Faith Reception and Recording (Basic)
Faith Pool Maintenance (Basic)
Divine Grace Feedback Protocol - Simplified Version (Standby)
"Wow, there are even some button options!~"
Hu Biao sighed inwardly, pointing out the key point: the reception and recording of faith.
Current active faith links: 175
Link strength range: 0.7~3.2 Faith Units/Day
Total reception efficiency: Approximately 41.5 Faith Units/Day
Current Log: Original Faith Stream Log (Viewable)
Then click on the sub-option "Original Faith Stream Log".
In an instant, a jumble of chaotic, emotionally charged fragments of thoughts flooded in:
"...May the judge bless my son and help him recover..."
"...Thank you for punishing those evildoers..."
"...I want money, lots of money..."
"...Please make my husband change his mind..."
"...I repent, I shouldn't have stolen..."
"...Your Honor, please grant me the power to take revenge..."
These thoughts are filled with personal desires, fears, gratitude, and prayers, like a boiling pot of mixed emotions.
…………
"Hmm, so that means everyone's prayers will be imported into this system from now on, and my tinnitus alarm clock will be gone?!"
He thought for a moment, then clicked "Faith Pool Maintenance," and immediately another string of characters appeared on the screen.
Current pool reserves: approximately 0.003 standard units
Purified Faith Energy Purity: 87.3% (Warning: Below the safe threshold of 90%)
Pool structural integrity: 31% (severely damaged)
Automated purification process: In operation (inefficient)
During this process, he "saw" the operation of the Faith Pool: after the chaotic original faith flowed into the system, it would be filtered layer by layer through the array of patterns on the walls of the main hall. Each layer of patterns would peel away some impurities, including but not limited to fragments of personal consciousness, strong emotional fluctuations, and cognitive biases.
Ultimately, it was purified into the purest spiritual energy and flowed into the Pool of Faith.
The problem is that the current Faith Pool has only restored the most basic functions, and its purification efficiency is only one-tenth of normal.
This means that a large amount of pollution will remain in the pool of faith.
"Primitive beliefs contain a high concentration of cognitive pollution. Direct use without sufficient purification will lead to distortion of consciousness, dissolution of personality, and collapse of rationality."
This knowledge doesn't come from online novels; it's common sense, science, derived from the "system" of this temple.
"Anyway, I don't plan to use it. I'll wait until I've slowly fixed these symbol arrays. Let's ignore this for now!"
Then, he "clicked" on the [Divine Grace Feedback Agreement - Simplified Version], and another line of text refreshed...
Protocol Status: Standby
Available Feedback Mode: Mental Energy Infusion (Basic)
Maximum safe output: 0.0001 standard units/time
Target restriction: Individuals who have established a faith connection
Warning: Due to insufficient purification efficiency, the feedback energy will contain trace amounts of cognitive pollution.
The function is simple and clear: the system can feed back the energy in the faith pool to believers in the form of "divine grace" to strengthen their spiritual power and give them a certain ability to interfere with matter through their minds. However, there are pitfalls.
The faith pool is not yet thoroughly purified and is still contaminated.
"So, making believers crazy and powerful? That really is a standard template for an evil god!"
He sighed softly and withdrew his gaze. This "system" seemed promising, a treasure trove, but in reality, it was full of pitfalls and required careful consideration.
However, this was not his greatest gain. His greatest gain was the method of mental strength training that he gleaned from a vast amount of information.
"The Guide to Optimizing the Basic Consciousness Structure" is a complete introductory textbook for spiritual power, a true method for cultivating extraordinary spiritual power, and a method that allows one's spirit to interfere with matter.
Perhaps it was just a basic introduction for the advanced races of the Third Civilization, but for him, it was the first step on the path to transcendence.
"We have a backup plan now!!"
At that moment, Hu Biao felt completely relaxed.
Originally, he sought physical immortality, a kind of genetic immortality.
That's why he chose bioinformatics.
Now, he has seen another path, and his spirit lives on.
Just as he was pondering this, the phone rang. He picked up the phone, glanced at it, and smiled slightly. It was Lin Wanqing.
