The entire process of creating An Wuping was designed by him personally, and he personally experienced every step, working it out step by step with the Queen Insect.
Why did his psychic energy combined with the Queen's psychic energy produce such an effect? Why did it become like this? Why did the psychic energy extracted by Qianmian have some extra things that did not exist in the design?
Why didn't he feel anything unusual when he was controlling An Wuping's prosthesis?
Is it the same now? The answers to these questions have always been there.
It’s just that Chen Ming didn’t understand it before.
Now that he can connect these clues through the "knowledge" in his mind, the answer is obvious.
An Wuping's psychic power that can be replicated by Qianmian is a new psychic power born from the fusion of Chen Ming's psychic power and the Queen Insect's psychic power.
Psychic powers don't appear for no reason.
Only creatures that grow naturally can awaken psychic powers.
As a manually created thing, An Wuping only has the psychic powers of the Queen Insect and Chen Ming attached to him. Only the fusion of these two psychic powers is the source of An Wuping's psychic power.
Chen Ming focused his attention on An Wuping.
He gathered the spiritual energy fluctuations that he usually used to control An Wuping.
Although it was invisible to the naked eye, he could feel that An Wuping's spiritual energy fluctuations were entangled in his hands.
It is a combination of the Queen Insect's psychic energy as the main one, and his own psychic energy as the auxiliary one, intertwined together.
When he didn't have a clear understanding of psychic energy before, An Wuping's psychic energy fluctuations seemed to Chen Ming like the Queen Insect's and his own psychic energy were clearly separated and each had its own function.
But after learning more, Chen Ming was able to change his previous thoughts and realized that the two psychic effects on An Wuping had been completely integrated and could not be separated.
Even if Chen Ming's subjective consciousness only wanted to call upon the Queen Insect's psychic power when he was controlling An Wuping, his own part of the psychic power would spontaneously follow due to the nature of psychic power and bring out the full effect of An Wuping's psychic power.
This situation seems somewhat familiar.
He Gu from the 14th Legion's Psychic Research Institute had just given Chen Ming an example not long ago.
This is an example of a mind-wandering entity entering the middle and late stages.
He Gu had said before that a psychic rampage entity would be divided into several stages after it appeared.
The beginning of the mind-wandering entity.
The various psychic properties and psychic fluctuations that constitute it are independent and clear from each other.
It can correspond to the stage when Chen Ming's psychic power and the Queen Insect's psychic power are clearly differentiated after An Wuping was created.
And after the mind-running entity enters the middle stage.
The different psychic properties of the psychotropic entity will begin to merge, and one psychic fluctuation will be able to mobilize all the psychic fluctuations of the entity.
This also corresponds to the stage when Chen Ming, after skillfully controlling An Wuping, can use the Queen Insect's psychic energy fluctuations to mobilize the psychic energy fluctuations in An Wuping's entire body.
Chen Ming didn't realize this at the time.
The main reason is that when he controls An Wuping, his consciousness directly acts on the entire body, and everything about An Wuping's prosthesis is under his control.
Chen Ming's subconscious and instinctive reactions can control his body, so much so that he doesn't realize that when he is using one kind of psychic energy fluctuation, another kind of psychic energy fluctuation is actually being spontaneously mobilized, rather than him subconsciously dispatching it to cooperate with the use of psychic energy.
Chen Ming had already adapted to this spiritual power without realizing it.
Even now looking back, when he first faced the psychotic entity and released the light of annihilation.
The way he releases plasma is actually not through the organs in his body that come from the Aurora Wind Spirit, but directly through psychic energy.
Mainly because of habit.
Once you get used to it, you will naturally ignore it.
But no matter what, the situation at this stage is exactly the same as what He Gu said.
And after the mind-wandering entity enters the late stage.
Various psychic energy fluctuations will be completely integrated and will no longer express the original psychic energy effects. Instead, they will generate some psychic energy fluctuations with unique effects.
Of course, He Gu had said before that most of the special psychic energy fluctuations that appear in this way are concepts that humans cannot understand.
But obviously, An Wuping's expression is in a form that humans can understand, and it just happens to match An Wuping's own combat ability.
Although Chen Ming himself felt that it was a bit far-fetched, after all, there were too many coincidences.
But after Chen Ming thought about it, he still thought that the answer was this.
A psychic is a person who influences reality with his will.
This is what the boss said to him at the beginning.
A statement he also agreed with very much.
Qianmian was able to retain his consciousness even after becoming a psychotic entity, which put to shame what He Gu said about a psychic's consciousness dying after becoming a psychotic entity.
Then why couldn't he transform the psychic energy of An Wuping, the psychopathic entity, into what he wanted to see? An Wuping's psychic energy was the psychic energy of the psychopathic entity, which just happened to explain Qianmian's situation.
This is why Qianmian can replicate An Wuping's psychic energy under normal conditions, but when his mind is in a state of mind rampage, he dies instantly after absorbing An Wuping's psychic energy.
The reason is very simple, because under normal circumstances, Thousand Faces' use of psychic energy is simply replicating a new psychic energy fluctuation, but this psychic energy fluctuation comes from a mentally deranged entity.
After entering the state of mental rampage, the Thousand Faces' psychic effects became extremely complex.
However, there are still several main psychic energies that serve as the basis for stabilizing his conscious existence and at the same time stabilizing his mind-wandering entity.
In this case, replicating An Wuping's psychic power, which is also a product of the psychic runaway, into the psychic runaway entity is equivalent to forcing another foundation into the pit of the foundation. That is why the body of the Thousand-Faced Psychic Runaway entity will collapse, and he will sense that something is wrong at that time.
That's why he said Chen Ming was a monster.
These can all be matched.
The only thing that doesn't match is that An Wuping's appearance has not changed.
There was no drastic change in appearance like other mind-wandering entities Chen Ming had seen.
But this can also be explained.
We just need to trace the origins back a little further, to about two years ago.
The moment Chen Ming just woke up from the abandoned mining space station, the moment he just came into this world.
Chen Ming is neither a pure time traveler nor a pure native.
Instead, it is an existence formed by the combination of their similar memories and life experiences. The two different minds have long been completely integrated together.
This statement seems... no different from the entity of mental rampage.
They are all psychic-related beings of different natures fused together.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Ming is, in a sense, an entity with a runaway mind.
This is not the feeling Chen Ming has now.
He had had similar ideas before.
Some time ago, when I encountered the mind-wandering entity for the first time.
Chen Ming asked He Gu about the specific triggering conditions of the mind-running entity.
He Gu said that if a psychic has many different kinds of psychic-related things on his body, including his own spiritual nerves, it is possible that the psychic will go into a mental rampage.
Before, Chen Ming had four spirit stones on his body, namely Whisper, Fear, Infatuation, and Words of Madness.
A neutral revolver, and a bone sword that Chen Ming had seized from a Black Mist Psychic but had never been able to find a suitable place to use.
If you calculate more strictly, the Queen Insect's psychic fluctuations can also be taken into account.
Chuan Ling and Xiao Shi don’t count.
After all, the ship spirit and Chen Ming's spiritual power have the same origin.
Xiao Shi's psychic power was not as completely controlled by Chen Ming as the Queen of Insects' psychic power. Chen Ming didn't even know what psychic power Xiao Shi had.
But even if we don't count the small stone and the boat spirit, Chen Ming already has countless spiritual materials of different properties.
At that moment he felt that something was not right and that he should have started to go into a mental frenzy a long time ago, but in fact he did not.
Does this mean that his situation is special? Chen Ming's previous thought was finally confirmed today.
He is just a special person.
Otherwise, with so many different kinds of psychic-related items on his body, he would have turned into a psychotic entity long ago.
No, it's because he has become a psychotic entity, so he can continue to maintain his original appearance in so many kinds of psychic-related things.
It all makes sense.
Well, since Chen Ming is already a psychotic entity, there seems to be no problem in fusing the psychotic entity's psychic energy with a new psychic energy belonging to the Queen of Insects.
There is also no problem as long as the performance of the new psychic power can be understood by humans.
Although Chen Ming seemed to have expelled himself from the human race, other people did not know this, so it was not unacceptable to him.
After all, if we trace back to the source, then isn't his crossing similar to dimensional infection? It's one dimension invading another, but the dimensional infection from the scarlet dimension is more brutal.
And Chen Ming's dimension only sent him here.
Of course, Chen Ming couldn't be completely sure about the places related to these dimensions and could only guess. After all, he didn't know enough about dimensions.
He just had some understanding of psychic power after briefly entering that scarlet dimension.
However, since the rift leading to the scarlet dimension has been left within his consciousness space, he has also mastered a certain dimensional power.
Even the crack in his consciousness space station did not leak any psychic fluctuations infected by the dimension. All dimensional power was completely absorbed by the consciousness space and would not affect the outside world at all.
Then as long as he can continue to exercise this power, he will be able to figure out things related to dimensions sooner or later.
After Chen Ming made a thorough summary of his abilities.
The main body and two prostheses returned to their respective positions.
The main body continues to coordinate the development process.
Chen Ming remembered that the terminal rang just when he was lying on the ground.
He glanced at the person who had just called and immediately called back: "Sorry, President, I was busy and missed your call. What's the matter?"
The president's tone was much more relaxed than before, and he said, "There are two pieces of news, good and bad..."
Before the president asked Chen Ming what news he wanted to hear, Chen Ming answered first: "Okay."
"OK."
"Just now, the psychic fluctuations of the psychic called the recipient in Zuojing, who had the ability to brainwash and hypnotize, disappeared."
"After being freed from his psychic power, almost all of those who were originally controlled by his psychic power chose to surrender. You should have seen that, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming immediately called up the video recordings of the Afterglow Fleet that he had deployed at the edges of various galaxies.
Just now, he controlled An Wuping to reach the face of the flesh mountain that the recipient had turned into.
The recipient chose to let the fleet of the Lucy galaxy with Prometheus as the flagship launch an attack, and all the people under his control launched a desperate charge like crazy.
And after Chen Ming and the consciousness space fought a life-and-death battle with the recipient.
The recipient's psychic power became ineffective, and the people in the fighting fleets naturally woke up.
Of course, the vast majority of rational people chose to cease fire and withdraw, unload their weapons, and surrender.
Of course, irrational people become fireworks.
"Understood."
After confirming the good news that the Luxi Galaxy had been completely under the control of the Fifth Legion and order had regained the upper hand, Chen Ming asked, "What about the bad things?"
The president said: "Before the recipient's psychic fluctuations disappeared, a large amount of dimensional infected psychic fluctuations appeared deep underground in the power tower, and these psychic fluctuations were completely leaked out."
"The entire planet has been completely infected. It is estimated that the number of people who may survive is no more than 0.01%."
“…”
Chen Ming was silent.
He actually knew this news.
As he fought the recipient, before entering the consciousness space, the dimensional infection had already begun to leak out.
At that time, he had no choice but to try his best to speed up. However, even if he sped up, the outcome of the encounter between him and the victim was decided in just 5 minutes.
But this speed is still a step slow.
The president was unlikely to hear too much from Chen Ming's silence, so he continued, "The Fifth Legion speculated that An Wuping killed the psychic from Zuo Jing, and during the battle, the recipient leaked the dimension and was infected, which led to the fall of the entire planet starting from the industrial zone."
"Not many people will survive, what a pity."
"But we don't have to worry about Zuo Jing continuing to cause trouble with dimensional infection, nor do we have to worry about the Fifth Legion creating some new troubles for the power of dimensional infection."
"But the Fifth Legion seems to be quite angry. I wonder if they will make some small moves in other areas."
The goodwill that Chen Ming had accumulated from his cooperation with the Fifth Legion some time ago had already completely disappeared because of their behavior: "I don't think we need to care about the attitude of the Fifth Legion. They are just a legion. The key is the attitude of the empire."
The president obviously has connections with people at the imperial level, and said, "The empire doesn't care. It would be best if we can get that power, but if we can't get it, it doesn't matter as long as there are no subsequent troubles."
"Otherwise, there would have been top psychics with an imperial background who would have gone there to grab this power."
Chen Ming suddenly had a question: "Um... Speaking of this, why doesn't the Empire send top psychics to grab this power?"
"The combat capabilities of those psykers in Zuojing are probably not top-notch, right? It seems like they can't face the boss. Why doesn't the Empire just send psykers of sufficient level over?"
The president explained: "It's a very simple principle. Using a top psychic to exchange for a power with uncertain negative effects, or negative effects related to dimensional infection, do you think this business is profitable?"
“That’s definitely not profitable.”
"So there's nothing wrong with leaving this kind of thing to your subordinates, right?"
"really."
To seize power does not mean to destroy it. To seize it, you need to get close to it in person. It does not mean that you can just kill the left-path psychic directly with psychic effects from a distance.
If there really was a psychic of the same level as the boss who had participated in this matter and arrived under the power tower.
Chen Ming really couldn't say for sure whether the rift leading to the scarlet dimension created by the recipient before his death would kill the psychic.
After all, Chen Ming knew that he was a special person, and his psychic power was related to his scarlet dimension from the very beginning, so he was able to come back alive nearly a second after his consciousness entered the scarlet dimension.
But for others, it’s really hard to say.
The backup plan left by Zuo Jing will really pose a great threat to other psychics.
That’s why the Empire has this attitude.
Since the matter was over, Chen Ming did not say much about it, but just asked another question: "How top-notch are the top psychics? Are there specific levels of psychics?"
The president asked back, “Why are you asking this suddenly?”
"I heard from others that I'm a Level 5 psyker. I'm curious, so I'm asking."
"Oh, it's not like I can't tell you that."
"Let me briefly talk about it from the lowest to the highest."
"A Level 1 psychic is a psychic who has just awakened. He only knows the effects of his own psychic powers and can perform some basic psychic effects."
"Level 2. It has been a while since the awakening of psychic powers. You can skillfully use basic psychic effects and start further psychic development."
"Level 3. Usually, psychic power has reached the end of its development. It can start to develop horizontally and expand the application direction of psychic power."
"Level 4, destroy the city alone."
"ah?"
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Isn't this a bit too jumpy?"
The president said affirmatively: "No problem, that's how it's divided. The first three levels are all in the development stage, and the psychic at level 4 is determined by whether they can destroy a city alone. Only psychics with this ability have further value."
"Take you as an example. When you controlled your first cruiser, you were considered a Level 4 psyker. A cruiser was already enough to destroy a city on the surface."
"When the number of fleets you control exceeds the defense force of a normal planet, you will be considered the next level, which is level 5."
"Level 5, psykers with the initial ability to destroy a planet alone can be placed here."
"This is your current level, and this is also the level of An Wuping, whom I mentioned to you several times recently."
"The next level is level 6, which is the galaxy level. The psychic power of a single person can affect the entire galaxy and can be classified as such. It's almost the same as saying that a single person can destroy a galaxy."
"Me, Wu An, and Hu Yi can all be counted in this category. Yan Xiong, who you killed not long ago, is also in this category."
"You killed a level 6 psychic with your level 4 psychic strength close to level 5. It caused quite a stir at the time. Many people started paying attention to you from that time."
"But Wu An helped you to avoid all kinds of trouble, so you may not feel anything."
Chen Ming actually knew what the president was talking about.
After all, at that time he was carrying three titles at the same time: "The natural enemy of Yuhui", "The best symbol of opposition to Zuojing", and as he knows now, "A level 6 psychic was killed by a level 4 psychic".
Even though his boss had tried every means to prevent his information from being leaked to avoid it standing out in the crowd, there was still a lot of news flying around.
He is very clear about this, so he has always been respectful to his boss Chen Ming.
Of course, this is Chen Ming's own business. He still wants to say: "I understand the truth, but is Yan Xiong really level 6?"
The president said: "Reaching the edge of level 6 is also level 6. Staying at level 6 for ten years is also level 6. Yan Xiong has indeed reached the edge of the galaxy level."
Since the president had said so, Chen Ming did not continue to refute: "What about above?"
"No, there are no more advanced psykers yet, but there is a grading system in the settings, which is the sector level. You can just treat the grading system of our psykers as the grading system of our empire's government."
Chen Ming asked: "Does this mean that a level 7 psychic's ability can cover a star region, and a level 8 psychic's ability can cover a star region?"
"That's about the idea, but there's no specific classification for it. Don't mention it in formal occasions."
"I wouldn't say this in a formal setting, would I?"
The president smiled and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. You have the potential."
"Oh, you have to remember that although the classifications I told you are generally recognized, they are only a measure of the scope and general effect of psychic powers. They are for reference only."
"Your actual combat ability doesn't count. The fight between you and Yan Xiong is the best example."
"Well, that's it, that's all I have to say."
"Once this planet is cleaned up and it is confirmed that the dimensional infection has been completely eradicated, our mission will be over."
"Wait a moment."
Chen Ming suddenly interrupted: "I remember that An Wuping experienced a dimensional infection, right? Does that mean he..."
"Yeah...but we can't stop it."
The president's tone was also full of helplessness: "The authority of this matter will basically be in the hands of the Fifth Legion from now on."
"They said they would stop An Wuping, but in the end they let An Wuping go and even allowed him to escape to the Luxi Star System easily."
"I even heard that An Wuping ran to the Luxi galaxy in front of the fleet of the Fifth Legion that was trying to intercept him."
"We can only hope that two dimensional infections occurring in the same person won't lead to more serious consequences."
In fact, An Wuping's body had actually been replaced by Chen Ming, and overall he was still in a state of having experienced a dimensional infection.
But other people didn't know, so Chen Ming had to find a way to confirm it to avoid any problems.
"What should we do with An Wuping?"
"I don't know. My advice to others is to recruit them."
"But as far as I know, the parties involved in the Luxi Galaxy have not yet reached a suitable conclusion."
