Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

According to Chen Ming.

Besides human Psychics, no Spiritual Creatures possess Enlightenment Nerves.

Their Spiritual Energy source is their own selves, essentially each Spiritual Creature’s body is their "Enlightenment Nerve."

Since Mechanical Spiritual Creatures from the Mechanical Race have Mechanical Enlightenment Nerves, there must be a source.

Previously, Chen Ming thought that during the transformation of Spiritual Creatures in the transformation facility, all Spiritual Power originally existing in a Spiritual Creature was concentrated and formed into a new Enlightenment Nerve.

But now it seems the situation isn’t as he imagined.

Sample Zero doesn’t have a Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve.

Although this might be because the devices Chen Ming obtained are only one-third complete, missing the function to transform the Enlightenment Nerve.

Through studying the entire transformation process, Chen Ming is inclined to believe that the facility doesn’t concentrate the Spiritual Energy of Spiritual Creatures to form Mechanical Enlightenment Nerves during transformation.

When transforming the body tissues of Insect Race individuals covered by the power of the Insect Queen, there was no intention to aggregate Spiritual Energy.

The equipment itself wasn’t made from Silent Alloy, which can prevent Spiritual Energy Fluctuations from leaking, nor did it look like it could gather the Spiritual Energy once the conversion reached its conclusion.

During the transformation, the Spiritual Energy dissipated from the transformed body tissues.

Insect Race units are part of the Insect Queen, hence they can use the Insect Queen’s Spiritual Energy.

If Spiritual Energy could truly be accumulated, the Insect Queen’s Spiritual Energy should’ve been gathered.

However, the facility didn’t do this.

Thus, Chen Ming thinks Mechanical Enlightenment Nerves are not derived from Spiritual Creature transformation.

This equipment shouldn’t be called "Mechanical Spiritual Creature Transformation Facility," but "Mechanical, Spiritual, Creature Transformation Facility."

The key lies in the creature transformation facility.

So the question arises, where do these Mechanical Enlightenment Nerves come from?

Chen Ming believes it needs to be tied to the existing Mechanical Spiritual Creatures to determine.

He immediately headed to the Supreme Point’s warehouse, where roughly hundreds of Mechanical Spiritual Creatures standby alongside three unique destroyers awaiting him.

In essence, these Mechanical Spiritual Creatures aren’t different from any Mechanical Race units, even their panels are identical.

The only difference is the name and an added Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve.

Thus, researching these things inevitably starts from their major difference compared to ordinary Mechanical Race—the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve.

Though called Enlightenment Nerve, the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve significantly differs from ordinary Enlightenment Nerves.

The greatest distinction lies in appearance.

Ordinary Psychics’ Enlightenment Nerves grow in the brain, at most one third of a pinky finger’s diameter thick and under twenty centimeters in length.

And the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve...

Through observing hundreds of captured Mechanical Spiritual Creatures, Chen Ming can assert confidently.

The Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve resembles more a mechanical spine.

Its internal structure is quite like the Purgatory Core.

Of course, this doesn’t mean the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve is the Purgatory Core, only that its operational logic is notably similar.

An even clearer difference presents itself in that the Purgatory Core relies solely on internal structure and Spiritual Materials to realize entropy control capabilities.

While the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve internally holds some special materials.

Casually examining a Mechanical Spiritual Creature, Chen Ming extracted its Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve.

And with Spiritual Energy, he extracted the special material inside.

This is an invisible Spiritual material perceivable through Spiritual Power and can be sealed using Spiritual Power to prevent it from dissipating in the air.

When Chen Ming sensed this material with Spiritual Power, he suddenly felt this material was very familiar.

He should have once...no, has always interacted with it.

Chen Ming remembered.

All these Spiritual materials are Spiritual Energy Essence.

And Spiritual Energy Essence, which forms Spiritual Stone, is the essence of Spiritual Stone.

Which means...is the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve actually akin to Spiritual Stone? And manufactured using Spiritual Stone?

Chen Ming feels it’s somewhat unlikely.

Spiritual Stone arises from extreme emotions coupled with fluctuations of Spiritual Power upon death that gather around nearby stones.

Whereas the Spiritual Energy Essence in the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve differs significantly from that in Spiritual Stone.

It appears to be forcibly fixed into this form of Spiritual Energy Essence by some entity or force.

Unlike Spiritual Stone which is naturally formed.

Chen Ming doesn’t want to delve too deeply into how this Spiritual Energy Essence comes to be, fearing it could lead to another area of ignorance in his knowledge.

He only needs to know that this substance grants unique properties to the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve, endowing the mechanical creatures with Spiritual Energy.

Additionally, Chen Ming noted that different Mechanical Spiritual Creatures installed with Mechanical Enlightenment Nerves have identical structures, only their internal Spiritual Energy Essence differs.

By swapping a different type of Spiritual Energy Essence, the Mechanical Enlightenment Nerve’s effects transform immediately into differing types.

This standardized structure makes these Mechanical Enlightenment Nerves appear as if they’re a mass-producible apparatus belonging to the Mechanical Race.
