Chapter 63 The Mechanism of the Interior

Special space

"That's about it..."

Zhuge Qing looked at Orochimaru and Reed Hellick, who was also deep in thought, and slowly said.

"Just as I previously speculated, the so-called 'power of faith' can indeed affect the difficulty of obtaining information in the 'inner world'."

Zhuge Qing paused, organized his thoughts, and tried to make the concept clearer.

"To give an example, if we were to obtain the technology to build the Arc Reactor from the 'Inner Landscape,' the difficulty level for people like us would be as high as 10,000, or even higher."

"But if the questioner is Tony Stark himself, the difficulty might only be one."

"Because the concept of 'arc reactor' has the deepest and most direct connection to him personally, it is something that is highly associated with him in the public's perception."

"Therefore, when I tried to obtain the information about the [Seven Stars Life Extension] method by relying on the mixed power of faith that I had gathered from my identities as a 'top scorer in the college entrance examination' and a 'descendant of Zhuge Liang', the difficulty was indeed reduced."

"I see……"

"An individual's 'anchor point,' or rather, the degree of 'connection' to a certain information node, determines how easy or difficult it is to obtain that information."

"The so-called 'power of faith' is essentially a powerful 'collective anchor' formed by the convergence of countless individual perceptions."

Using this anchor point, one can naturally access deeper and more complex information.

Orochimaru nodded, understanding.

He stroked his chin, his eyes becoming somewhat playful.

"If that's really the case, then the Celestial Master inheritance system of Longhu Mountain is quite interesting..."

"The successive generations of Celestial Masters not only inherit power, but also the name and the faith of the masses."

During the reign of each Celestial Master, they were revered by the masses. This immense power of faith likely did more than simply increase their strength.

Within their 'inner realm,' they would likely find it a hundred or even a thousand times easier to acquire the Daoist techniques befitting their 'Celestial Master' status than others!

"It's not that simple."

"Don't forget, there's also a punishment mechanism within the 'inner world'."

Zhuge Qing shook his head, his expression becoming more serious.

"That's true."

Orochimaru nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

"Ordinary people, after all, still make up the vast majority of the world..."

“If the ‘Heavenly Way’ of the ‘Under One Person’ world is truly, as you say, a set of rules based on the collective subconscious of humanity, then its tendency must be more inclined towards the vast majority of ordinary people.”

"After all, in terms of sheer numbers, the number of superhumans is negligible compared to that of ordinary people."

In this way, many historical mysteries seem to be explained.

For example, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, was incredibly brave and was known as a match for ten thousand men, but in the end, he committed suicide at the Wujiang River.

From this perspective, he may not have been defeated by Liu Bang, but by 'Heaven's Will'—defeated by the 'Way of Heaven' inclined by the collective will of hundreds of millions of ordinary people. His very existence and actions were against 'Heaven'.

It is precisely for this reason that those sorcerers, if they carelessly spread the information they obtain in the 'inner realm', will incur so-called divine retribution.

Because the 'secrets' they reveal may not be in the fundamental interests of most ordinary people, and could even trigger huge panic and unrest.

"From this perspective, my system is relatively more direct."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips.

This kind of 'natural law' based on the collective unconscious tends to favor the vast number of ordinary people.

Conversely, if one can influence the perceptions of enough ordinary people, one can indirectly influence the course of 'Heaven's Way'. The fact that the power of faith can reduce the difficulty of obtaining information has already proven this point.

This is really interesting...

"Indeed..."

Zhuge Qing nodded; he naturally understood what Orochimaru was referring to.

According to Orochimaru's synchronized information, after this period of research, it has been confirmed that after people die in the Naruto world, their chakra, or rather their souls, do indeed flow to a special place. Its nature is similar to the Divine Tree on Nathan Island in the One World, and the 'Inner Landscape'.

But there aren't such obvious restrictions...

However, this is where the chakra system sometimes seems absurd.

Just like the transformation technique in the Naruto world, this is a method that seems unbelievable to ordinary people, allowing them to freely change their own form and even transform into other objects.

To achieve a similar effect, they must have extremely precise control over their own flesh, bones, and even deeper levels of 'qi'.

This requires a very high level of spiritual cultivation, which cannot be achieved overnight.

But in the Naruto world, even a bottom-of-the-barrel student like Naruto, who just graduated from the Ninja Academy, can easily turn himself into a shuriken or some other random thing.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique that Orochimaru is perfecting also possesses a similar, somewhat 'unreasonable' characteristic.

"It's a pity, it was just a little short..."

Orochimaru sighed, a rare occurrence for him.

Although they obtained data from the Second Hokage's previous human experiments from Danzo, the most crucial step—how ​​to perfectly attach the soul and chakra of the deceased to the living body used as a sacrifice and ensure its stable existence—was still somewhat lacking.

"Perhaps I have a way..."

Just as Orochimaru was finding this troublesome, Reed Herrick, who had been listening in silence, suddenly spoke up.

"You mean...Isu technology?"

Orochimaru was taken aback upon hearing this, and then began to consider the possibilities.

In the Assassin's Creed series, the Isu are an ancient intelligent race that created humankind.

Their technology is highly advanced; they can create species, predict the future, are immortal, and upload their consciousness as data.

But isn't this quite different from the chakra system?

"More like... or more accurately, animus..."

Reed Hellick said thoughtfully.

"Animus? You mean that machine that can read ancestral memories through genes? You know how it works?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing asked in return, somewhat curiously.

"Pretty much... Wasn't I rescued by the assassin organization?"

They also have Animus machines there, and they're researching them..."

Reed Hellick shrugged.

"I see. You mean we can use this machine to reverse engineer the information within chakra fragments?"

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, having roughly understood Reid's thoughts.

By anchoring the corresponding chakra within the Pure Land through DNA, the Second Hokage has already accomplished this step.

The trouble is activating the information within this chakra, allowing the person it possesses to gain the abilities and thoughts of the person in the previous life.

According to his previous assumptions, this step should have been quite simple, since the Shadow Clone Technique could accomplish something like that.

However, in reality, after summoning chakra from the Pure Land, it is difficult to activate its own characteristics like a shadow clone.

If it were something like animus that reads memories from DNA sequences, it might actually be useful.

"But the industrial capabilities of the Naruto world probably aren't sufficient, right?"

Zhuge Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Theoretically it is indeed feasible, but it shouldn't be possible to create it in the Naruto world, right?"
Putting aside everything else, the semiconductor industry, which manufactures chips, is not even in the same league.

"This is where you come in~"

Lide smiled and looked at Zhuge Qing.

"Huh? You mean Shenji?"
