The resurrection of the ancestors had a success rate, and according to the latest data, that rate was not high.
This was undoubtedly terrible news. No wonder even Shilin Apostles as strong-willed and consistently calm as Sandora and Tawell wore such troubled expressions.
"We still can't determine the exact success rate due to insufficient data," Tawell said quietly, regret on her face. "But it should be no higher than one in ten. I have examined the remains that have not yet undergone resurrection experiments and roughly identified some patterns."
"What determines the success rate of resurrection?" I immediately asked curiously.
"Race," Sandora said. She had arrived before me and already understood the situation. "A Jun, the ancestors told you about this as well—the Shilin People consisted of many different races, and the differences between them were immense, even extending to the nature of their lives. Those biological differences resulted in varying difficulties when resurrecting their remains. Tawell discovered that some ancestors had weak bodies but powerful souls, while others had powerful bodies but fragile souls. Ancestor Anses's race was the only one balanced in both respects, which was why his body had retained the basic conditions for resurrection after such a long time. As for the others... either their souls had completely dispersed, or their bodies could no longer accept activation by external life force. The chances of resurrection were negligible."
"Wasn't there some kind of stasis state? Weren't the ancestors' remains all preserved pretty well?"
"You know that a stasis state is not Time Stop. It merely stops matter from evolving at the microscopic level," Sandora said with a sigh. "So it cannot preserve Ancestor Remains perfectly. Souls are the easiest things to disperse, followed by mutations in matter itself. There are also phenomena we still cannot explain, causing
