At that moment, Jingnan sent him a message that Flynn was ready.
Accompanied by Master Lai, Jingyuan flew directly to the computing core.
A device has already been placed next to Kloto's giant tank.
The device is designed to resemble a recliner, with a large semi-circular cover at the head.
Behind the device are several wires that connect directly to Klotor's brain inside the tank.
Flynn looked at Jing Yuan flying over and said in surprise, "You can fly?"
"No!" Jing Yuan replied with a smile, then jumped off the shield, maneuvered it to his side, and said, "I can control objects with my mind!"
"Psychic power!" Flynn exclaimed in realization. "No wonder you wanted to use the non-contact method!"
In Flynn's understanding, telekinesis and mental power are simply stronger brainwaves.
For someone like Jingyuan, there is indeed no need to insert wires into his brain.
Jingyuan looked at Master Lai beside him and asked, "Master Lai, would you like to come along?"
"I don't need to go. Once you're inside, find Ash, and it will tell you what to do!"
Jingyuan nodded, then looked at Flynn, "So, you just lie down and that's it?"
"Yes! Just lie down on it!"
Jingyuan sat down in the recliner, and the semi-circular canopy automatically covered his head.
Flynn's voice came from the side, "I'll open the passage. Since this is a contactless connection, it's up to you now!"
"I know."
Flynn flipped the switch, instantly connecting the device to Klotor.
Jing Yuan released his spiritual power and moved forward along the equipment passage.
In Jingyuan's mind, it was as if he had traveled through a time tunnel and arrived at another place.
There was a flash of white light.
Jingyuan opened his eyes and found himself on the outer platform of the lighthouse.
He looked around in confusion and found that the place was empty!
"This is not a lighthouse! This is Clotho's spiritual space!"
Jing Yuan smiled, "I never expected that Clotho's mental space would actually be a lighthouse!"
"No wonder, after all, I've lived in the lighthouse for so many years!"
Jingyuan looked around from the lighthouse. There was no one there. Where was he supposed to find Ash? And where was he supposed to find the consciousness of the Primordial Body?
It was very quiet at the lighthouse.
This gave Jingyuan a strange feeling.
As Jingyuan walked, he saw a figure ahead.
Jingyuan quickly quickened his pace, running over in two strides.
Upon getting closer, Jingyuan discovered that it was a blonde woman.
"Wait a moment!"
Jingyuan shouted towards the front.
The blonde woman stopped and turned around when she heard the sound.
Upon seeing the other person's face, Jingyuan asked in surprise, "Jingnan?"
"Jingnan?" the blonde woman asked. "Do you know Jingnan?"
"Who are you?" Jingyuan looked at the woman in front of him who looked exactly like Jingnan.
"My name is Meiwei! Are you also from the lighthouse? I've never seen you on the lighthouse before?"
"You are... Morgan's wife, Charles's mother?" Jingyuan remembered that there was a person who looked exactly like Jingnan, who was Charles's mother.
When Mayway heard others say that she was Morgan's wife, she looked somewhat disappointed.
She was disappointed in Morgan before she entered into marriage with him, and they had already broken off their relationship. However, in the eyes of others, she was still Morgan's wife.
Maeve still responded, "Yes."
"What are you doing here?" Jing Yuan asked, then immediately realized what was going on. "You were the volunteer who conducted the human brain-to-brain connection with Kloto!"
Meiwei looked at Jingyuan and asked, "Did you also undergo the brain-connection experiment and get absorbed by Clotho?"
"I am indeed undergoing a brain-connection process, but I have not been absorbed!"
"Sigh..." Meiwei sighed, "Once the life essence enters this space, it can't get out!"
Jing Yuan did not explain; he simply entered Kloto's spiritual world through mental communication, while the life essence remained outside.
Mei Wei looked around in a panic, then grabbed Jing Yuan's hand and said, "Come with me first!"
Jingyuan looked puzzled, but still followed Meiwei.
Although this lighthouse looks the same as a real lighthouse, its internal structure is completely different, and even somewhat eerie.
For example, they were just on the outer ring platform, but in the blink of an eye they entered a passage.
This passage is similar to the power zone, but it's also different.
After leading Jingyuan to the passage, Meiwei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "We should be safe here for now!"
Mei Wei looked at Jing Yuan and asked, "Why did you perform a brain-connection and come in here?"
"The lighthouse is in an emergency; its operating system has been locked by Kloto. I'm here to reclaim control of the lighthouse!"
Chapter 193 Jingnan's Background
What happened to the lighthouse?
"The lighthouse is currently hovering at low altitude and unable to navigate. There are Devouring Beasts gathering on the ground, and they could very well climb the lighthouse in a short time! So the situation is urgent, I need to see Ash! Do you know where Ash is?"
“Ash?” Mei Wei looked at Jing Yuan.
"Ash, where is it?"
"She's right here!"
"Here?" Jing Yuan looked puzzled. There was no one else here except him and Mei Wei.
"This lighthouse was built by Ash to besiege Croto," Mavis said.
Jingyuan asked in surprise, "You mean, this lighthouse is Ash?"
"To be precise, this lighthouse is part of Ash!"
"what happened?"
“Before I connected directly with Clotto, Morgan told me that Clotto’s consciousness was Ash, the super artificial intelligence of the old world, but there might also be another consciousness.”
Jing Yuan nodded. "This giant brain belongs to an ancient giant, and its consciousness must still exist inside its brain."
"After I connected with Kloto, it devoured my life essence, and then I ended up here..."
Before May could finish speaking, Jing Yuan interrupted, "When Gray stole the Giant Brain, he knew it had devoured Ash's life essence. Didn't he pass on such important information? Morgan should know that!"
“He knew, but we had no choice but to awaken Ash!” Mayway continued, “After I was devoured by Kloto and arrived in this consciousness space, I discovered that things were not as we thought at all!”
When Clotho tried to devour Ash, it couldn't completely absorb Ash, which gave Ash the upper hand for a period of time.
This is why Kloto was able to help our lighthouse avoid danger and guide us to obtain supplies.
Later, another consciousness of Clothori suddenly erupted, devouring a portion of Ash's life essence, which weakened Ash's abilities.
Ash is not asleep, but rather is too preoccupied with fighting against another consciousness to pay attention to us.
I originally wanted to awaken Ash to help us, but without eliminating the other consciousness, there's no way to get Ash out of this predicament.
Jingyuan looked at Meiwei, but his mind was elsewhere.
Based on Master Lai's words, Ash was not devoured of a portion of its source matter; rather, it actively separated a portion of its source matter to explore the Mana Network, but unfortunately, it failed.
Jingyuan asked, "Can I communicate with Ash?"
“The other consciousness is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. When it is weak, Ash can detach himself and communicate with us.”
Jingyuan understood that Meiwei must have learned all this from Ash.
"But I don't have time right now, I need to take control of the lighthouse immediately!"
Upon hearing this, May said with a sudden realization, "I understand. Ash messaged me earlier, asking me to help her skip a certain instruction; perhaps she discovered the crisis at the lighthouse!"
Before Jing Yuan could ask any more questions, Mei Wei hurriedly walked forward and said, "Come with me!"
"What instructions?"
“The instructions from the lighthouse!” May explained as she walked. “Normally, the instructions from the lighthouse go through Ash. But another consciousness fights with Ash for control, so Ash designed a mechanism: in critical moments, she traps the other consciousness, allowing me to skip the process and use the instructions to keep the lighthouse moving!”
Jing Yuan smiled. As expected of a super artificial intelligence, it has foresight.
"where are we going?"
