The Realm of Immortality

Blue Star.

Star Federation.

A medical institution equipped with all the most advanced equipment.

A dozen or so doctors in white coats were talking to each other.

At that moment, the bell rang.

As one of the elderly men with a full head of white hair answered the phone, a somewhat surprised shout came from the other end, "He's awake! Your Excellency William, the patient named Simon has woken up!"

"Simon!?"

William was taken aback, then quickly realized that this was the case they had been discussing with the dozen or so people.

He stood up immediately. "I'll be right there."

An hour later.

In a medical room filled with all kinds of cutting-edge equipment, a dozen people gathered in front of the patient named "Simon".

These people include not only top doctors and experts from various industries, but also Harriman, the head of the Apocalypse Project team, and Dennis, among others.

Because the "Simon" in front of them was none other than the only survivor among the twelve groups of test subjects in Project Apocalypse a few days ago who had successfully completed the experiment and survived.

As quadruplets, all three of their older brothers had already died.

Even the Third Brother, who was in a vegetative state, stopped having any brain activity yesterday morning.

In this situation, the person who was suspected to be the only survivor and brought information from another world naturally became extremely important.

At this moment, guided by an expert in psychotherapy and hypnosis, Simon is describing something in a somewhat hazy state of mind.

"During my experiment, I resonated with a human's mind... or rather, I entered his mind and saw the memories within it..."

A wealth of relevant information was collected by professionals through Simon's descriptions.

"This person... has an Eastern appearance... the social structure is similar to that of the 13th century... religions, sects, and kingdoms coexist... there are powerful beasts and cultivators there..."

Upon hearing the words "spiritual practitioner," everyone's spirits lifted.

Dennis urged, "Ask him if those people can extend their lives by a thousand years and live forever through continuous cultivation."

Upon hearing Dennis's words, the experts quickly began to guide the discussion.

Before long, Simon had uttered accurate information. "Second-stage cultivators... can live to be two hundred years old, fourth-stage cultivators can live to be five hundred years old... fifth-stage cultivators can live to be over a thousand years old..."

"The second stage allows you to live to be two hundred years old!? The fifth stage... allows you to live to be over a thousand years old!?"

Even though they had heard this information before, Dennis, Harriman, and the others still felt their breathing quicken at this moment.

"We need more detailed information!"

The next day.

Outside a meeting room in the Starshine Federation, unlike the meeting rooms often seen on television.

Harriman and Dennis, both dressed in formal attire, waited with somewhat solemn expressions.

A short while later, a woman dressed as a secretary came out, greeted the two, and soon the two stepped into the conference room.

At this time, there were already quite a few people waiting in the conference room.

They flipped through the documents one by one.

Simulated images were also playing on the large screen.

"The Realm of Immortality! That's what we call that world! Because in that world, we can obtain an even longer lifespan!"

The deputy leader of the Apocalypse Project team, Laucorlen, was explaining to everyone, "Based on the data we obtained, and through mutual verification with the increasingly clear projection of the world above our heads, the success rate of the experiment is over 90%, almost 80-90%. In that experiment, Target 064 truly achieved a spiritual resonance with a certain human in this world, and the two achieved memory sharing. By peering into his memories, he saw the basic structure of this world..."

Harriman and Dennis listened attentively.

Harriman glanced at the people at the front of the conference room every now and then.

Senate President Jonas, Vice President Robert, and His Excellency President Edward...

These people are already at the pinnacle of power in the Starshine Federation.

Having reached this point, Harriman is qualified to compete for the title of the greatest scientist of this century. History will remember his discoveries and record him in book after book of history.

"This is information we obtained from Experiment 064. Cultivation in that world is divided into five major levels, and each major level has three minor levels. The first level is attainable by anyone in that world who is willing to work hard. It is similar to free education in our country. At the end of the second stage, although some people will be eliminated, it is basically those from ordinary backgrounds. As long as their family is well-off and they have a famous teacher to guide them, it is not difficult to enter this stage. To put it in perspective, it is roughly equivalent to a master's degree."

As Laucorlen spoke, he laughed and said, "This level of difficulty is nothing to any of us, and the reward for such a simple goal is a full two hundred years of lifespan! By the end of the second stage, one can have a lifespan of two hundred years!"

As he spoke, he became somewhat excited and said, "Think about it, everyone. If we could all live to be two hundred years old, what a tremendous benefit it would bring to the whole society. This would be a giant leap for human civilization, and even more so for the world. And we would be the navigators and guides for the progress of civilization and the world!"

His words naturally moved even a high-ranking and powerful figure.

At their level, money is just a number.

The only thing that could attract them was their long lifespan.

They want to continue enjoying this wonderful life.

And now, that world has brought them hope.

"The end of the second stage is a hope that almost everyone can achieve. Although extending lifespan by another 500 years is somewhat difficult, I believe that with the advantages we have now, achieving this goal is not difficult. Even the fifth stage, longevity and living for a thousand years, is achievable. After all, those sitting here now are the world's top elites!"

Laucorlen's voice echoed throughout the conference room, passionate and stirring.

"Wait a moment, we must know the specific danger assessment of that world. After all, this is contact with a new world. This contact may bring new development and enable our human civilization to take off, but it may also bring deadly dangers."

The defense minister said, "After all, many movies and books have relevant warnings. Although the result was that mankind won, we are very clear that the goddess of victory cannot always be on our side."

"What you say makes a lot of sense. However, although there are dangers in this world, they are completely within a controllable range."

Laucorlen smiled slightly and turned his gaze to Dennis: "This point has been covered in the materials we provided to you. Now, please let Lord Dennis explain it to you personally."

Dennis nodded to him and went up on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

After greeting the important figures present with his opening remarks, he went straight to the point. "I have a detailed understanding of the social structure of that world. Their social structure is very similar to that of the Great Jin Kingdom, the Yellow Dragon Kingdom, the Central Plains Kingdom, and the Maple Leaf Kingdom, which are located across the ocean. It is a feudal and backward era. In order to ensure their rule, the rulers strictly control cultivation resources and cultivation scriptures..."

He quickly described the structure of that world, giving the important figures in the room a general understanding of it.

Later, he got straight to the point. "The current rulers of that world are various sects. The strongest of these sects are the holy lands that possess cultivators at the end of the fourth stage and the grotto-heavens that possess cultivators at the fifth stage. They call cultivators at these stages immortals..."

After saying that, he added, "I wonder if there is some connection between them. It seems that the legend of immortals also existed in the Great Jin Kingdom, the Yellow Dragon Kingdom, the Central Plains Kingdom, and the Maple Leaf Kingdom. We have sent people to investigate. The results we have obtained so far are on pages 164 to 182. Ladies and gentlemen can refer to them when they have time. Perhaps the two worlds had contact in a more ancient period."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked down and glanced at the documents.

"However, whether they are immortals known as terrestrial immortals or those called immortals residing in the world, their power is extremely limited. Their abilities are limited to things like clairvoyance, super hearing, and cloud-riding... Based on descriptions of immortals from countries across the sea, combined with information about immortals in Simon's memory, we conclude that they may possess considerable power, enough to maintain their rule over a vast feudal dynasty. One of them might even be equivalent to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of soldiers in a feudal era, but..."

Dennis smiled faintly, "These so-called immortals will be crushed into dust without any doubt in the face of our fleet, tanks, and fighter jets forming an iron torrent!"

"Are we militarily stronger than them? If a conflict breaks out, are we capable of victory?"

Senate President Jonas said.

"It's no exaggeration to say that our Star Glory Federation alone could take on that world! Our military power against them would be a trans-dimensional, epoch-making strike!"

Dennis said confidently, "At that time, we can completely conquer that world, integrate its resources, and then carry out systematic and industrial cultivation to produce one immortal after another, thus leading the entire civilization into an era of lifespan of thousands of years! And at this moment, we, all of us present, are the pioneers and trailblazers of this era!"

His words naturally caused another round of whispers and discussions among the crowd.

After a while, everyone seemed to reach a consensus, and their eyes focused on President Edward, their faces filled with smiles and expectations.

What are your plans?

Edward asked.

"Simon not only saw relevant information when he entered that human's memories, but also obtained a special technology."

Harriman stepped forward and took over the conversation, his eyes gleaming. "A technology that can change the world, change the future."
