It had come without any reason.

She felt that it might have something to do with her former self.

Perhaps the old her had known about Ultimate Fear? And had even suffered because of it, directly or indirectly?

No matter what, suddenly learning something they were not meant to know at this stage brought a sky-like pressure that was truly overwhelming.

"Everything that happened here today must not be known by anyone else."

Han Fei said in a muffled voice.

"Mm. I'll store and lock this recording."

Hexi shared the same thought.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. There's no use thinking about it now. We just need to work hard from here on."

Han Fei comforted Hexi.

Hexi smiled faintly.

"Let's go. Let's take a look at the legacy he left us."

"Super Gene technology... after all these years, we can finally glimpse its true nature."

This was not the piecemeal information Dukao had painstakingly traded for bit by bit, but the complete, original version of the technology.

They could use it as a foundation and keep expanding from there.

This was...

Brand-new.

And there was also that complete technology tree. Although it only reached the level of an intermediate spacefaring civilization, it was still an enormous gain.

If they could digest it, perhaps they could drive the Taotie out in a short time. They might even be able to launch a counterinvasion?

Han Fei shook his head.

He dismissed the thought.

When the time came, the Taotie would only be a minor problem. The true cause behind all this was the gods!

Without gods, there would be no voice to speak of!

There could be no true peace or tranquility!

Chapter 50: Brain Domain Development

Gods.

The benchmark of the Godly Superpower Universe.

The source of everything.

In the Godly Superpower Universe, only by becoming a god could one possess a true voice.

"Let's go. There'll be plenty to keep us busy next."

"Mm." Hexi nodded calmly, then followed Han Fei.

"Next, we'll orderly transfer the various experiments being conducted on Earth over to Tianxuan Star. We can finally let loose and get to work."

Hexi silently took notes beside him, speaking up from time to time.

"Also, these legacies of the God River Civilization should be entrusted to you as well." Han Fei wore an expression as though he were handing over a weighty responsibility.

Hexi narrowed her eyes. Her face remained gentle, but she secretly clenched her teeth.

"Han Fei, some things have already produced results. For example, NZT... would you like to take a look...?"

Tianxuan Star, Tianxuan City.

Inside the magnificent palace.

With only the two of them present, it seemed empty and spacious.

In the great hall, Han Fei was listening to Hexi's report.

"...Breakthroughs have been made in every area of technology. All we lack are resources and production capacity before we can begin mass production..."

"NZT-48 is an addictive drug that stimulates the brain domain. It does indeed have the ability to develop the brain domain, and it can greatly extend the length of time humans can maintain focused attention. However, its side effects are significant. Users become addicted, the burden on their bodies increases, and it affects the brain as well. It can easily make them inexplicably arrogant and overly confident, leading them to do foolish things."

"According to our analysis, this drug can develop the human brain domain to a maximum of 13%. That may not be a bad thing, because any higher than that, and an unenhanced body would be unable to bear the burden and would gradually wither away."

"The brain consumes 20% of the human body's energy. If the body has not evolved, it will be very easy for it to fail to support that expenditure."

"What if it's someone enhanced like the Extreme Warriors?"

"Around 15%."

"What about First-generation Super Soldiers?"

"Between 18% and 20%."

"What is the current level of human brain-domain development?"

"Unfortunately, the normal average is below 10. Only a small number of people can break past 10."

"There's actually a simple, though not entirely accurate, test. What is 123456789 multiplied by 987654321? Calculate it using only your brain."

Hexi asked.

Han Fei fell silent.

"If you can work it out using only your brain, there's a high chance you've surpassed 10%. If not..."

Hexi spread her hands.

Han Fei's fists itched just watching her.

"Brain development really is inhuman."

"Of course. Once you surpass 10, you've already taken the first step in the evolution of life. Photographic memory, logical reasoning, learning, rapid analysis, and so on—you could be considered an entirely different species from ordinary people."

"If unaffected by emotions, a creature above 25% could completely predict an ordinary creature's every move in the future. Mind-reading and future prediction—simply placing a coin could, through all manner of 'accidents' shortly afterward, achieve certain simple objectives."

"Or they could infer a person's entire life from the slightest traces. All of that is possible."

"That is the terror of brain evolution."

"It complemented the body. Neither could exist without the other."

As everyone knew, people could improve through learning and training.

But improving one's innate aptitude was extremely difficult.

Especially intelligence, IQ, and wisdom.

Once brain development reached a certain level, the difference was like that between ordinary animals and humans.

No!

The further one went, the greater the gap would probably become.

Just as he had thought, the Godly Superpower Universe was indeed terrifying. If it were placed within the myriad worlds and no longer restricted to the Godly Superpower Universe, with celestial computers, analysis, learning, future calculations, and constant advancement, its rate of improvement would probably be terrifying.

Of course, that was only an ideal scenario. There were actually many problems involved. Maybe some people would be unable to accept it and their worldview would collapse. Besides, it was unrealistic, so there was no need to consider that possibility for now.

Returning to the main topic.

Han Fei was immensely tempted by what he had heard.

"Can it be improved?"

"Of course. In fact, I've already improved it."

Hexi smiled confidently.

Han Fei had to admit that when she said that, this woman was damn cool.

With a light sweep of her finger, a pale-blue pill appeared in her palm.

???

A sweep?

Han Fei stared at her in confusion.

Hexi smiled faintly.

"Micro Wormhole Technology. I reconstructed it in my mind. Although the information is incomplete and my processing power can't keep up, relying on my own brain's computational ability, I can still transport a few small objects."

In fact, she could do far, far more than that. But whenever her calculations reached a certain point, she would feel as though her head were splitting apart, making it impossible to continue.

She thought it might be an old injury.

There was no solution for the time being. She could only wait to deal with it later.

Naturally, she did not tell Han Fei about this.

"Good. Can it be applied to other things?"

"It can't. Your brain development isn't sufficient; you can't calculate that much. Perhaps you could pair it with a computer. That might work." Hexi even made a joke.

But Han Fei nodded. He remembered that Super Gene Technology included something in that area.

Still, it seemed not just anyone could use it.

Han Fei felt a little regretful.

"What about the improved NZT?"

Han Fei turned his attention back to the pale-blue pill in Hexi's hand.

"As long as you don't take too many in a short period of time, it won't be addictive. The only unresolved issue is that it can make you arrogant and foolish. If you choose to resolve that, the drug's potency will be weakened. If you don't, its effects will remain complete."

As Hexi spoke, she handed the choice over to Han Fei.

"..."

"Then couldn't we use its principles to create a version without side effects?"

Han Fei suddenly had an idea and asked.

Hexi shot him a surprised look, the kind of look...

That made Han Fei feel a little humiliated.

Like she was looking at her own elementary school student who had suddenly solved an advanced calculus problem—far too delightful a surprise.

"I've already considered what you suggested, but unfortunately, developing the brain is inherently difficult. Right now, NZT is the only thing I have on hand. There are no other types for comparison, and no brain-related data either. It's like feeling my way across a river on stepping stones—completely blind. For now, I can only improve it by following the existing model; of course, if you're willing to give me about half a year, I could make a perfect version."

Han Fei rubbed his brow. "Let's go with the improved one. Arrogance and stupidity... once someone gets tangled up with that kind of thing, even smart people are doomed. Better to deal with it early."

"Mm."

Hexi nodded and made a note of it.

"What other results are there?"

A mischievous smile curled across Hexi's lips.

With a flick of her finger.

Documents as tall as a person came crashing down onto the table, stirring up a faint breeze that sent a chill through everyone's hearts.

"These are all of them."

"..."

"..."

For a time, the scene fell utterly silent.

Han Fei rubbed his face, feeling that his control over his expression was starting to slip.

"Hexi, just pick out the important ones."

"Alright~"
