Chapter 568: Lucky Fish
For the past year or two, Su Hao had collected many source artifacts and had observed various materials gradually transforming into sources around the artifacts. He thought he would soon understand the rules behind it and be able to transmute matter into sources even without the use of source artifacts.
However, it was clear that the conditions required for matter to transform into sources were much more complex and demanding than he had imagined.
When he used symbols to simulate the appearance of a source artifact, the matter did not successfully transform into a source. Nothing happened at all.
This indicated a problem. Su Hao’s observations were not complete, and the simulated conditions were not entirely accurate, certainly lacking some necessary factors.
It was similar to people witnessing a match igniting dry grass and assuming that as long as there was a flame, any flammable material could be ignited, without considering the conditions required for combustion like the presence of oxygen in addition to high temperature; Or people seeing a four-wheeled car racing on the ground and thinking that just adding four wheels could make it go fast, without considering the internal engine and fuel…
Under Su Hao’s divine perception observation, the entire structure of the source artifact was fully exposed, and he initially believed that manifesting these structures would allow him to master the method of transforming matter into sources.
But in reality, it was not so.
What he saw was not everything. At least, his divine perception could not reveal the finer and deeper aspects, or even if he saw them, he could not understand the significance of those special structures and movements.
It was like dismantling a computer case and seeing the internal structure, could one easily manufacture a computer and implement various computer functions?
Not necessarily! Because the computer structure seen with the eyes is not everything.
Similarly, with Su Hao’s divine perception observing the source artifact.
The current problem was: What method should be used to manifest the things hidden inside the source artifact?
“The Pinball Space has indeed recorded the entire structure of the source artifact. The results of my divine perception observation also confirmed this. If that’s the case, why did my simulation fail?” Su Hao pondered for a long time and eventually came to a conclusion, “Perhaps… the source artifact I recorded is only a part of the ‘source artifact’!”
However, even if Su Hao’s speculation was true, there was currently no way to solve the problem. Ultimately, the issue was that he had too little information, lacking sufficient understanding of this entire world.
But there was no rush. He was only twenty years old, still young. From the perspective of time, time was on his side…
Since the observation methods were not comprehensive, he needed to find ways to increase the observation methods. Since the data was insufficient, he needed to seek readily available information!
Fortunately, he had Yashan and Feng Cheng to help him with some tasks; otherwise, he would truly fear not having enough time to study the interchange of sources.
If this world eventually perished because of him, and he failed to successfully unravel the secret of sources, he might choose to board a spaceship and wander in space for as long as he could in order to continue researching sources.
One could only say that for Su Hao, the mystery of sources he saw was indeed too important, to the extent that it surpassed the importance of the planet itself.
Zhi Peng’s ‘promoting friendship and networking’ work proceeded smoothly. One month later, he started gradually sending his good friends to the experimental base to undergo Yashan’s transformation. As the business became more proficient, the number of people sent over increased, making Yashan grin from ear to ear.
During this time, Feng Cheng was also madly learning various knowledge. Every time Su Hao saw him, his eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, appearing as if he hadn’t slept well for a long time. Although his appearance had dropped a notch, his knowledge skyrocketed. Under Yashan’s occasional guidance, he could also assist in Yashan’s research on the spiritual frequency segment by being a helpful assistant.
Two more months passed, and Su Hao still had not found a new method to observe the source artifact. His research work once again fell into a stagnant state. He couldn’t help but sigh, “Since I can’t figure it out, then I’ll stop thinking about it. It’s better to go to various places and collect more information!”
He had collected a lot of data, and while some of the information he obtained was useful, it was not abundant. It was like a huge puzzle of knowledge, where he could only acquire small fragments, far from seeing what the complete picture looked like.
At one moment, he felt an urge to storm into the Imperial Palace of Yixuan City, using a knife to hold the emperor’s neck: “Give me all the secret files and data of the Hengxuan area for robbery.”
However, it was just a passing thought. In reality, the emperor’s power was not that great, and perhaps his life was not worth more than the value of those data. In the end, he might only end up with some perfunctory results. Moreover, forcing them to hide the truly useful things even deeper. Compared to what others gave him, Su Hao would rather believe in what he obtained personally.
If he still couldn’t find anything useful in the next year or two, Su Hao wouldn’t mind resorting to robbery, trying out the ploy of scaring the snake by hitting the grass.
Just as he was contemplating how to obtain the data, his divine perception sensed a special fluctuation coming from the distant sea. This kind of fluctuation was very familiar to him, as it was emitted when a creature transformed into a source beast.
Su Hao smiled and praised, “What a lucky fish. After transforming into a source beast, it also became a ruler in the sea. With no human source masters coming out to handle them, they could live easily and comfortably. However, the transformation of a creature into a source beast is indeed a miraculous thing. Thinking about it makes me a little curious…”
As he spoke, he gradually came to a halt, and his smile froze on his face as if time had stopped.
His eyes widened, bursting with a scorching light.
“Oh my God! Why didn’t I think of this? Source beasts! I can observe the transformation process of source beasts and search for the secrets of material transformation into sources!”
His Pinball Space had a very special feature – the recording of consciousness information!
The recorded consciousness information would establish a special synchronous state with the consciousness of the original body, allowing all data of the consciousness information of the original body to be updated in real-time!
This was an absolute artifact for studying organisms. How could he have forgotten about this feature?
Source artifacts, as lifeless objects incapable of establishing a long-range synchronous frequency, could not observe the dynamics of source artifacts in real-time. However, conscious creatures like source beasts could.
Moreover, source beasts themselves possessed the same special ability as source artifacts – the power to transform materials into sources.
“Since the research on the source artifact is not feasible, there is no need for me to struggle on the artifact. Switching to a new research target might solve the bottleneck I’ve been experiencing! I should have thought of this sooner! Why does my brain feel insufficient… There’s a chance to try to upgrade the ‘Prophet’. Hmm~ The royal family can be used as experimental subjects.”
“Having thought of a new research direction, Su Hao immediately took action, transforming into ‘Life Child’, using the ‘Water Escape Art’, flashing and disappearing from the original spot, appearing next to the fish that had just transformed into a source beast.”
“This lucky fish is as big as a person, colorful and beautiful. It was happily swimming in the water, its sharp mouth opening and closing as if celebrating its transformation, becoming the ruler of the ocean. It was completely unaware that even greater luck was awaiting it.”
“Its transformation brought enlightenment to Su Hao. If there were divine justice in this world, colorful auspicious clouds and merits would probably descend to reward this fish.”
“Su Hao appeared next to this colorful fish and startled it, causing it to tremble all over. It was about to flee to a distance but found itself unable to move after a certain moment.”
“Su Hao pointed at the fish and then the blood qi rushed into the entire body of the large fish, recording all of its consciousness information, including its body information, and released the confinement to the seawater, allowing the large fish to swim away.”
“He couldn’t wait to enter the pinball space and observe the fish’s body condition and real-time changes. After about an hour, a faint smile appeared on Su Hao’s face as he silently said, ‘My train of thought is correct. Observing the transformation of a source beast is indeed feasible! I can definitely find the secrets of material transformation into a source from the source beasts!'”
“He roamed around the surrounding area, discovering a plethora of marine life and was very satisfied: ‘This area, is now mine.'”
