Chapter 1147: Chapter 166: Heart Light Body! Or an Extremely High Level of Completion! (5600)

Master Gossay stood upright. After hearing Ian’s words, his Adam’s apple moved up and down as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he forced himself to hold back.

This elder was surprisingly tall, the most robust among those present. Master Gossay had transformed his body through surgery to make it extremely resilient. Even at the Second Energy Level, he was considered powerful. This was why he could recover swiftly despite many heavy injuries in the South Sea Great Labyrinth—if he hadn’t failed to find the point where his research aligned with his dreams, or a way to transform the world, he might have already advanced to the Third Energy Level.

Yes. It is rare for an Alchemy Master to become Third Energy Level because they are too smart and arrogant. Every Alchemy Master possesses knowledge far beyond ordinary people and has a deeper understanding of the world—but just like those who understand society the best are more aware of the difficulties in changing the world, the masters’ knowledge makes their dreams too lofty, unmatched with their abilities.

It’s like a scholar, rich in knowledge, believing they can transform a nation, but finding it challenging even to manage a small town when they actually attempt it; or like someone who invents a revolutionary creation that, due to market, cost-effectiveness, and various reasons, cannot replace the existing outdated products and has to wait for a suitable era to emerge from being shelved.

The masters, because of their overwhelming wisdom, find it hard to unify their soul and convictions, letting dreams and strength coincide.

Only when they truly experience the stagnation and slowness of the world, and manage to create significant changes in such a world, can their dreams and convictions coalesce into Heart Light.

Gossay Abid understood this well. Ian was just such a researcher, he knew, Ian’s abilities had already effectively reached the Third Energy Level.

This means, without his knowledge, the young scholar had already conducted research capable of changing the world, and might have already manifested the results of that world-changing research into reality and started to implement them.

So…

He did not want Ian to take risks.

“You are the true hope.”

After taking two deep breaths, Master Gossay suppressed the impulse in his heart, and slowly said: “Many teams came to explore the Exotic Species Research Institute this time, with many powerful Fourth Energy Levels guarding nearby.”

“Ian, once you use the identity of You Gu, other countries’ exploration teams might not respond in time, but Prince Carlos will surely understand your value immediately—he will suppress and capture you back to the Empire at the fastest speed, against which you absolutely cannot resist.”

“It’s really too dangerous, it’s impossible to hide from them, every team will report information in real-time, facilitating those powerful ones for rescue… or an attack!”

“I know this much.”

Ian, however, nodded calmly, smiling as he looked up at Master Gossay’s serious expression. He said easily: “But actually, the situation inside the Exotic Species Research Institute is absolutely beyond your imagination, perhaps even unable to communicate in real-time.”

Saying this, Ian took out the communicator Chairman Yafarda gave him, displaying it in front of everyone.

The young man said calmly: “Master, you should be able to tell just how strong of a penetrating signal this communicator can send, right? This is the communication power level base of the Exotic Species Research Institute, and it can only make very simple, even ‘weak’ prompts… if there’s a need for specially made signaling tools, it means there’s certainly a barrier that needs a violent breakthrough.”

“I think there’s no need to worry too much on this aspect, as the underground ruin is an isolated relic, otherwise, Canaan Moore could not possibly only recently discover the site beneath Half Moon Lake.”

—Moreover, perhaps Half Moon Lake itself is an ‘artificial relic’ caused by the ruin sinking underground? Or it might have encountered some other assault, like ancient Ancient Demonic Beasts, or Alien Fire Seeds.

This speculation Ian did not voice, but he absolutely did not believe that such a large inland freshwater lake was naturally formed.

Steadying himself, Ian continued to explain to Master Gossay: “Moreover, ultimately, there is something in the Exotic Species Research Institute that I am determined to obtain.”

—The other part of the Silver Chip, the other half of the Rites of the Star Gods.

Additionally, there was the Pioneer’s Echo, the database from previous eras, the secret communication records of exchanges between the Pioneers and even civilizations from previous eras with the Ancestral True Dragon Ruins and the Star God civilization…

All of these, he was determined to acquire.

“…I see.”

Master Gossay was silent for a moment. He could understand Ian’s thoughts; Ian was a Prophet. Making a dangerous decision surely meant that the choices besides this were even more dangerous… Ian’s judgment definitely was the safest under the premise that he could achieve his goals.

Unless he intended to stop Ian from achieving his goals, which was an impossible thing to do.

Everyone watched Ian and Master Gossay’s exchange in silence, observing their mouths move without speaking, not joining in casually.

Yes. Given the strength of those present, it was child’s play to use lip-reading to analyze what Ian and the master were saying, but they decided not to deliberately analyze the information exchanged because some things are better left unknown. The reason Master Gossay used the Silent Voice Ring was precisely considering this point.
