Chapter 1151: Chapter 167: Humans Without Stopping (5800)_2

“Your guess is correct.” As thoughts spun in his mind, Ian nodded. Although he wanted to tell Yisen, ‘I’ve indeed used the Foresight View to prophesy every time I brewed a potion,’ he ultimately agreed with Yisen’s guess directly: “In fact, I’ve always been wondering when you’ll notice something off about me… When you’ll realize and understand, it will prove that you’ve truly grown to the point of knowing.”

“Yisen, you were a bit naive and hasty back then, so I didn’t dare tell you the truth. Master Gossay also chose not to say much to protect you, hoping you’d understand.”

“But now.”

Saying this, the young man smiled brightly: “You’ve grown, my friend. Now, I can trust that you can keep my secret!”

“…Of course, I understand. Even if you kept this secret from me for a lifetime, I would completely understand.”

Raising his head, Yisen Gard solemnly vowed in a way unexpected to Ian: “I will guard this secret until the end of my life!”

“Uh…” Ian pondered for a moment, then waved his hand helplessly: “It’s unnecessary… Now that I have the Third Energy Level, I can display Prophet Psychic; when I reach the Fourth Energy Level, it won’t matter even if some people know I’m a disciple of Hiliard.”

“When I reach the Fifth Energy Level…”

When Ian reaches the Fifth Energy Level, would it even matter if he claimed to be an Earth transcender from the Otherworld? Would the Terra People care? Who would care? Not to mention Yinaiga’s Silver Chip, which, while a treasure, would only lead other Fifth Energy Levels to use cunning schemes against another holder, never openly opposing to seize it.

But that was a bit far off. Ian didn’t continue, and Yisen Gard understood this point, thus apologetically said: “I just wanted to be a bit serious…”

“I trust you.”

The white-haired youth responded simply, and that was entirely sufficient.

In the Ashlight Family’s grand mansion, there were no surveillance cameras or listening devices; nor was there relevant Spirit Energy in the guest room. After all, guests who could, would, and indeed stayed at the Ashlight Family were true allies, trusted and hoping to be trusted companions; even those with the imposing power of Elf King’s Blood wouldn’t commit such disrespect.

Moreover, Ian had already scanned the area with the Foresight View and the Silver Chip, so he dared to converse with Yisen Gard like this.

Ian browsed through the materials Yisen Gard had collected for him.

The Protector Axer’s collection of experimental projects… In a way, this could be considered the core secret of the Setar Empire, so even someone of Master Gossay’s caliber couldn’t access it fully, knowing at most plans overlapping with their own field.

While someone like Master Gravie, although talented, hadn’t entirely passed the political review, could only be responsible for one project, knowing nothing of the others.

Yet through the channels of the Second Prince and Lady Ellen, it was easy to obtain these most classified documents… Truly, the Princes and Princesses are efficient; it ultimately boils down to family betrayal being hard to prevent!

However, the vast majority of the documents were actually of little use.

[The Correlation between Human Soul Structures and Spirit Energy]

[Research on the Mechanisms of Human Thought Determination – The Potentiality of Thought Imprint]

[Soul-Body Reconstruction, Multiple Experimental Records of Reviving the Deceased]

[Rational Use of Origin Quality, Experimental Records Related to Simulating the Lifespan of Magical Plants and Artificial Lifespan-extending Plants]

[…]

Most of these documents were merely some scattered experimental records and general summaries, lacking complete data — this was of course, as many documents were not allowed to be copied or taken out of related labs, and even the Princes and Princesses weren’t privy to these true secrets, all of which were only reported to the Emperor and the related research groups.

Of course, the deans of the Truth Institute and Spirit Wisdom Institute surely knew, but they also only reported to the Emperor, and even Crown Prince Carlos had to treat these deans with the respect of a junior; this was both a privilege and respect for irreplaceable masters in their fields.

As Ian perused these documents, he felt little emotional fluctuation.

The first item, though a major topic, revealed that everyone was familiar with the ‘Artificial Spirit User Experiment’, thus it was not particularly surprising. Naturally, under it were ‘Artificially Directed Psychic Shaping’, ‘Diversification of Spirit Energy Jewelry’, and ‘Nationwide Psychic’s Transformation’ as subsidiary topics, but even the eye-catching ‘Nationwide Psychic Ascension’ was merely proposing a hypothetical possibility and then relentlessly lobbying for funding.

As for the second, Thought Imprint, it was somewhat intriguing, suggesting that the Setar Empire’s research into nerves and brain science had reached considerable heights, almost unlocking the mysteries of the human brain. If they genuinely managed to create a Thought Imprint, then ‘pure thought upload’ without involving souls would be but a step away.

But ultimately, that’s all it was, as Ian’s past Earth had already reached this stage, and the former epoch’s civilization likely hadn’t developed it significantly due to soul involvement, with the hard capabilities having long been there, not worthy of astonishment.

And as for the third resurrection experiments… Ian had already seen real examples firsthand, occurrences at Leyan Territory stirring infuriating memories.
