This was a strange feeling Gu Yue had never experienced before.
It was as if the chains restricting her had all vanished, and the power in her entire body was completely liberated, revealing its true form to her, its owner, for the very first time.
She even had the sensation that the Energy within her was cheering, but the object of the cheers was not her, but...
Gu Yue subconsciously turned her head, her gaze falling upon the youth beside her, only to see that the young man remained with his eyes closed, his face devoid of any extra expression.
Just as she was about to speak, the next moment:
"Focus."
The youth's calm and gentle voice sounded directly in her heart.
Gu Yue immediately snapped back to attention, her scattered focus forcibly pulled back to concentrate on the Fusion model of Destruction and Life forces that the two of them were jointly calculating.
However, perhaps due to the massive computational power augmenting her senses, her five senses became sharper. The arm wrapped around her waist and the warmth emanating from the body beside her were intensely clear.
Unconsciously, her body stiffened slightly, followed by a surge of inexplicable discomfort.
Immediately afterward, Gu Yue began her habitual self-consolation.
Thoughts such as, "He already touched me, a hug doesn't matter," "This is just to aid the research, it's nothing," and "The worst that can happen is lying down," arose in her mind.
With various rationalizations like these flooding her mind, the initial discomfort immediately subsided, replaced by a sense of justification.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Yue cleared her mind of distractions and immersed her consciousness once more in the Energy calculations.
In this state of deep research, time began to fly by... In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
In the center of the laboratory, two figures stood side-by-side.
Six spirit rings appeared beside one figure: one silver-glowing, one dark purple, one emerald green, one dark red gilded, and two of the most common blood-red 100,000-year spirit rings.
The spirit ring configuration of the other figure was relatively monotonous: nine million-year golden spirit rings naturally circulated, exuding a powerful aura.
They were Kong Mingan and Gu Yue.
At this moment, both of their gazes were focused on the white human figure standing silently before them.
The figure was adult height, exhibiting a smooth, warm porcelain white color all over. It had all four limbs, but its head lacked any carved facial features, making it seem eerily hollow.
Gu Yue held Kong Mingan's hand, still wearing the thin and cool maid outfit. However, the initial embarrassment and humiliation on her face were gone, replaced by a sense of accustomed naturalness and composure.
A faint silver glow appeared in her eyes. Gu Yue's gaze was profound, carrying the cold, rational demeanor of a researcher.
If she were wearing a lab coat instead of a maid outfit, this demeanor would likely be even more pronounced.
Tilting her head slightly, Gu Yue looked at the youth beside her. She did not speak; merely by meeting his gaze, Gu Yue understood the youth's meaning.
This powerful tacit understanding had been cultivated through a month of almost continuous deep-level SpiritFusion skill usage; they could understand each other's intent without any words, needing only simple gestures or glances.
Holding Kong Mingan's hand, Gu Yue slowly stepped forward, then raised her other free hand and lightly tapped the center of her brow.
A flash of light appeared on her fingertip, and a wisp of condensed mental consciousness, like a faint light, was drawn out and immediately sank into the brow of the white figure.
Following this, Gu Yue placed her hand over the figure's chest, and pure Energy began to flow in steadily.
As if life had been injected into it, the surface of the white figure began to ripple like water. The contours of the facial features quickly emerged and refined: eyebrows, eyes, nose bridge, lip shape.
Gu Yue's own cool and delicate face was rapidly outlined. The entire process was efficient and swift, and simultaneously, an invisible connection was established between the figure and Gu Yue's main body.
At a certain moment, when all the details reached perfection, Gu Yue stopped the injection of spirit power in a timely manner and withdrew her hand.
The figure in front of her, apart from wearing the uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, was identical in appearance to Gu Yue's main body, even replicating her gaze and temperament.
The next moment, the figure Gu Yue spoke, her voice clear and steady:
"Connection stable, consciousness synchronization rate one hundred percent. Initiating basic function debugging."
The figure Gu Yue began to move its limbs and execute simple spirit power manipulations, testing the various performances of this new body.
Simultaneously, she continuously reported the data of the figure's body through natural perception.
"The Clone body's Energy capacity limit is stable at the Limit Douluo level. The body's physical strength and mental resistance are stable at the Limit Douluo level standard."
"Connection with the Spiritual Pivot Network is stable, latency is less than one thousandth of a second. Data-form conversion function is normal, response time meets expectations."
"External module mounting interface is stable, capable of normally identifying and loading preset Soul Engineer plug-ins."
Gu Yue reported each item clearly, while Kong Mingan intently observed the real-time data stream fed back by the Spiritual Pivot, checking for every possible subtle flaw.
Finally, when all testing items were completed and all data showed normal results, Kong Mingan confirmed:
"The'Simulated Energy' functionality is complete. The experiment is successful."
... The so-called "Simulated Energy" was the result of the original "white Energy" undergoing a targeted modification project.
Although the original white Energy was highly versatile, its characteristic of being able to mix with a little bit of everything made it mediocre in any single Domain, lacking a prominent advantage.
Kong Mingan's goal was, through mutual comparison and joint experiments with Gu Yue, the master of elements and mental force, to focus on strengthening the core characteristic of the white Energy: "the ability to transform or fuse into other Energy systems while maintaining its own independent structure when needed."
The reason for this was that after confirming the white Energy possessed this unique characteristic at the very beginning, he thought of using it as an ideal carrier for consciousness information, thereby achieving "data-based rapid troop deployment."
First, it must be known that the prerequisite for "data-based rapid troop deployment" is having an ideal carrier that can be freely "data-formed."
Unlike ordinary Elementalization, which requires specific anchor points to stabilize the form, "data-forming," which allows free movement within the Spiritual Pivot Network, is more specialized.
It requires the user to possess extremely powerful mental force to anchor their self-consciousness; otherwise, they are highly susceptible to being washed away and assimilated by the vast and chaotic information flow within the network, leading to lost consciousness, with unthinkable consequences.
Coincidentally, the initial white Energy possessed this characteristic.
Kong Mingan locked onto this partial characteristic, then specialized it, constructing the current "Simulated Energy."
Using "Simulated Energy" as the basic Materials, a highly load-bearing Clone body is shaped. Then, the user injects a partitioned portion of their consciousness into it, allowing them to control this Clone to roam within the Spiritual Pivot Network.
Moreover, if the user provides remote power using their own spirit power, then they can achieve ultra-long-distance and virtually zero-latency connection and control through the Spiritual Pivot Network.
Furthermore, if the Spiritual Pivot Network covers a wide enough area, cross-plane combat can be achieved entirely!
And this can be completely utilized in planar warfare!
