Chapter 1149: Chapter 166: Heart Light Body! Still at an extremely high level of completion! (5600)_3

——Just like the original reason for humans’ mutations?

Ian’s question was clear and straightforward. Anfa quietly brushed her hair back, tidied her hairstyle, and then spoke lightly: “Actually, it’s a simple matter… I have to decide within five years whether to be an elf with a Dragon Blood inheritance or a True Dragon that once was elf.”

“The former is meaningless, there are many elves with True Dragon Bloodline, which can’t meet Mother’s expectations… As for the latter, it’s not difficult. If I want to become a True Dragon, I can become a True Dragon.”

“But, Ian.”

Anfa lifted her head and made eye contact with the young man.

The golden eyes of the elf were bright and clear, like glowing jewels. She softly asked, “An individual and a world, which one truly leads?”

“That’s the biggest problem I’m facing.”

“As for the collapse of Bloodline, it’s nothing more than the fact that in my current in-between state, I frequently need to suppress my Bloodline with potions. Drug toxicity infiltrates the internal organs, which isn’t a big deal, compared to Sio’s void poison. Within five years, I’ll have time to visit Holy Mountain with my true form, which should eliminate it.”

“Of course, the drug poison might also be Mother’s way of gently urging me to make a heartfelt choice… Removing the drug’s toxins will give me more time to choose or wait.”

“Is that so.”

Ian furrowed his brow slightly; if one were unfamiliar with True Dragons or merely understood them on the surface, surely they would struggle to understand what Anfa meant.

But the young man immediately understood that Anfa’s real issue was whether, after choosing to become a True Dragon, she would be overwhelmed by the colossal information contained within the True Dragon Fire Seed, equivalent to an entire world.

Theoretically, Anfa, possessing a Dragon Soul, need not worry about this problem—she can completely handle the vast information torrent from the Fire Seed, even if her Dragon Soul is only partial. It’s to the extent that even Ian, an ordinary human, could manage it, so there’s no reason Anfa couldn’t.

But the reality is different.

The vast majority of True Dragons born from the Fire Seed have thought patterns perfectly in line with the civilization of that Fire Seed. This is why True Dragons often have conflicts, unable to understand each other, as they clash between two internally consistent civilizations’ logic, possibly even their cultural customs.

But Anfa wasn’t shaped by the Fire Seed from birth… She is still an elf.

Her elf thought pattern, as the entity now called ‘Elf Anfa,’ can withstand the civilization information surging through her Dragon Blood and maintain her self without transforming into another form?

If she accepts it, does it constitute a form of ‘mental death’ then?

After all, her thinking logic has changed, her thought mode altered; even if she retains past memories, she certainly won’t have the same feelings, right?

That’s… the real problem Anfa faces.

Not the collapse of Bloodline, but a sort of ‘mental collapse.’

“If you were at the high stage of the Third Energy Level, possessing a complete Heart Light Body.”

Ian murmured, “Then even if you experience the torrent of another world, you wouldn’t be changed.”

“But the issue is, you are Dragon Blood, you are the future True Dragon—that world’s information is part of you. Without experiencing its torrent, you can’t achieve the perfect Third Energy Level, can’t possess a complete Heart Light Body.”

“That’s a contradiction.”

“Indeed.”

Anfa herself was very calm, without a hint of panic, merely staring slightly at the tips of her shoes as they walked with Ian: “Moreover, even if truly washed over, for others, it probably wouldn’t matter, right?”

“At that time, I surely wouldn’t care either. Mother’s only concern is whether I can become a True Dragon. If I succeed, my mental changes are already expected.”

“Others in the Ashlight Family are even more indifferent, rather congratulating me—even Sio might find it easier to get along with me, thinking of me as her kind.”

“Even you, Ian.”

She turned her head, looking at the young man, her eyes bright: “You’ve dealt with dragons so frequently, surely you’d not care whether I’m Elf Anfa or True Dragon Anfa, right?”

“What kind of resignation to fate is that… not entirely.”

Muttering, Ian shook his head: “True Dragons’ mental states all have issues, they’re too extreme. I definitely care about your mental state.”

“Also.”

Pausing, Ian thought and said, “I think I might have a solution to your problem.”

——Meditation Technique.

The essence of Anfa’s current concerns isn’t Bloodline or soul, but whether her thinking mode would change—she might even fear transforming into a True Dragon, unable to comprehend past interactions with friends, failing to grasp the meaning of Elf Anfa’s previous relationships, thus resorting to the simplest, almost universally cosmic criteria to record interactions and goodwill with others.

The mutual achievement of Dragon Soul and thought beliefs prevent Anfa from reaching a truly complete Third Energy Level before becoming a True Dragon or returning to a Dragon Blood Elf, unable to maintain sufficient self-strength, akin to being stuck without shedding her shell to grow larger.

However, it’s not like only achieving beliefs can enhance soul strength!

Meditation Technique gradually carves the soul, it can be!

While the strength of Dragon Soul and ordinary people is vastly different, the Meditation Technique of sufficient strength affecting Dragon Soul is undoubtedly a path.

“I will think of something.”

Ian didn’t recklessly promise anything; he merely patted Anfa: “Trust me, I’m currently studying this area… but ‘Meditation Technique’ is a complex matter, can’t be explained quickly, let’s talk after the Exploration of the Exotic Species Research Institute!”

“Okay. Haha, Ian, no need to be so serious, it’s great that you are willing to listen to me talk.”

Anfa was somewhat amused. She had merely intended to confide her troubles ordinarily, yet Ian earnestly committed—it’s not that she doubted Ian’s sincerity but rather felt incapable of finding a way he could possibly help based on the design philosophy of the Terra Ascendants.

“That’s my promise; instead, solving your problem proves my research’s success.”

Ian didn’t laugh; he answered seriously: “Trust me, friend, since you’re willing to confide in me, we can together work on resolving your woes—that’s what friends are for, isn’t it?”

Anfa was stunned for a moment.

“It’s actually unnecessary.” The elf girl’s expression became somewhat complex, but ultimately, she slightly bowed to the young man: “But thank you, friend.”

Anfa still needed to report to her mother, while Master Gravie had also returned to his room to continue organizing materials.

And Ian didn’t return to his room but knocked on Yisen Gard’s door.

“Coming!”

Soon, the blond youth opened the door, pulling Ian into the room before cautiously closing the door.

When Ian felt a bit puzzled, Yisen Gard pulled a document from his bosom and handed it to the white-haired youth.

“This is…”

Ian was somewhat dazed. He initially intended to instruct Yisen Gard on the subsequent Meditation Technique structure, discussing the details, yet unexpectedly found the latter had things to conceal from Master Gossay and share with him.

And Yisen Gard’s words also startled Ian: “This is collected by my mother, a list of various large-scale research conducted recently by my grandfather, Protector Axel.”

“Ian. I actually already know your true identity.”

Water-colored eyes met lake-green eyes, Yisen Gard smiled slightly, “After all, I’m not a fool, I investigate some things myself—so, if you really are the heir of my great-grandfather, Inega II…”

“Then surely, you can perceive how much of grandfather’s research list constitutes research from the year of great-grandfather!”
