True Immortal Research Institute

"A celestial being."

Although Xie Yusheng prefers science fiction, the popularity of fantasy novels in recent years has made him aware of the ultimate concept of this genre even without actively seeking it out.

Furthermore, as a member of the ancient Xia civilization in the East, he had read the legends of "immortals" who lived on dew and fed on the wind countless times, so he didn't need anyone else to explain them to him.

The only thing that felt a little awkward to him was...

The leap from alien to immortal seems a bit too big.

However, it's not surprising that in ancient times, people used terms like immortals and gods to describe aliens.

There are many similar books and biographies.

At this moment, Lan Yuntian, who was seated at the head of the table, spoke.

"According to the latest information we have received from the Starshine Federation, the Qianxing people who are currently communicating with us are very likely immortals from the Longevity Realm."

The brief statement quickly sparked discussion below.

"The Realm of Immortality!?"

"An immortal?"

Those in the Changsheng Realm knew that this was the name given to the projected world above them, which was recently approved by the United Nations of Blue Star.

But the immortal...

"The immortals of that world, and the immortals as we understand them..."

Li Xingzhou asked with a frown.

But Lan Yuntian seemed to know what he was thinking and directly admitted, "It's exactly what you imagine."

"Could it be... that all those ancient myths and legends on our Blue Star that science can't explain are true?! Did they really exist?!"

Li Xingzhou opened his eyes wide.

"Scientists have studied a topic more than once—what exactly are immortals and gods? Could it be that in ancient times, our Blue Star really had immortals and gods who could turn the world upside down, or... were these so-called immortals and gods actually just extraterrestrials who possessed advanced technology, but because the ancients could not understand their power and wonder, they were called immortals and gods?"

Lan Yuntian paused slightly as he spoke, "And our most important task next is to figure out whether immortals and gods, these ancient legends, are truly powerful beings or extraterrestrials who use technology to display their wonders!"

At this moment, Fu Yunshan, who was standing to the side, seemed to understand something. "You mean, our next step is to confirm whether the 'Qian Star People' are aliens with advanced technology or immortals from the Realm of Immortality? But according to our understanding, the civilization level of the Realm of Immortality should be quite backward, yet from the interaction between that 'Qian Star People' and us... he doesn't seem to be some kind of ancient person..."

"Don't forget, that 'Qianxing person' once said that he had been secretly observing our Blue Star for a period of time, lurking on Blue Star, observing our social structure, and eventually mastering our writing, writing style, information foundation, and even witnessing the horror of our world's weapons of war. It is entirely reasonable for him to have the idea of wanting to understand the level of these advanced weapons of war."

Zhao Shanhe then spoke up.

Clearly, he was also one of the insiders of the restructuring of the Nantianmen project team.

His words left everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

If...

Zhao Shanhe was telling the truth. That "Qianxing person" was actually an immortal from the Changsheng Realm who was observing Blue Star in a special way. So, if they gave him some data on war weapons, wouldn't that completely expose Blue Star's weapon system and various secrets to them?

Are they aiding the enemy?

"But didn't the higher-ups investigate and find that their technological level is far superior to ours? If they really have bad intentions towards us, we simply won't be able to resist them?"

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but say.

"Much taller..."

Lan Yuntian shook his head. "This may be an illusion. Don't forget, at the beginning, this 'Qianxing person' asked us for some basic data on fighter jets and missiles. It wasn't until later that the weapons technology they requested became more and more advanced."

"Then what about the black metal he provided, and the controlled nuclear fusion technology he perfected for us? They..."

Li Xingzhou refuted this.

"Every civilization has its own strengths. Some civilizations, with their unique materials and resources, may have evolved into a deformed state. Back then, the scientific community speculated and proposed a series of hypotheses, suggesting that a civilization might have mastered the speed of light, but the weapons they used were still swords, spears, bows, and arrows. The reason was that their civilization lacked a certain special element, while another element was very abundant."

Lan Yuntian paused as he spoke, then added, "That civilization might be the same way."

"This possibility is ultimately too small. Which of the immortals and gods recorded in history didn't possess overwhelming power?"

Li Xingzhou said.

"History, especially myths and legends, is often exaggerated. Things like having eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind can be regarded as Divine Ability. But now, with a mobile phone, who doesn't have the ability to see a thousand miles and hear the wind like in myths and legends?"

As Lan Yuntian spoke, he slightly changed his tone. "Of course, I don't mean to say that the power wielded by those immortals is worthless. I just want to state that we don't need to underestimate ourselves. After all, our next task is to communicate with this Qianxing person and unveil the first mask on his body."

"But the problem now is that the 'Qianxing person' is no longer replying to our messages."

Fu Yunshan said with some helplessness.

"But our message can still be sent, can't it?"

Lan Yuntian smiled slightly, "The process of transmitting and receiving the message is itself a kind of precise coordinate pointing. You should know that our competitor, the Star Glory Federation across the ocean, has invested hundreds of billions of resources to achieve this."

"The people of the Starshine Federation have also made contact with a life form similar to the 'Qianxing People'!?"

Li Xingzhou was startled.

"We don't have accurate information on the specifics, but thanks to the major moves made by the Cosmic Light Laboratory over the years, we have been able to make some inferences. Next, we will cooperate with the Jin Kingdom and the Huanglong Kingdom to restart the particle collider..."

As Lan Yuntian spoke, he glanced at the crowd and said, "Our Nantianmen project team will be divided into two parts. One part will assume that this 'Qianxing person' is indeed an alien with advanced technology and continue to maintain the Nantianmen project team."

The group exchanged glances.

Judging from the information implied by Lan Yuntian, they seem to possess intelligence that is unknown to others.

This intelligence should have come from the Starshine Federation and is highly credible.

In other words, it's highly unlikely that the Qianxing people came from a technologically advanced civilization; they were probably deceived earlier.

The Realm of Immortality is a world of immortals and heroes.

Their fortuitous opportunity encounter with an "alien" from the realm of immortality was already incredibly coincidental; if this "Qianxing person" also came from another civilization...

The odds are lower than winning the grand prize twice in a row.

After all, the "aliens" aren't lottery center staff.

"The second part is to establish a brand new project team called 'Seeking Immortality'. The project team will bring with it research on the 'Qian Star People', including a series of documents and materials such as contact coordinates, and will be incorporated into the newly established institution of the three countries, namely the True Immortal Research Institute."

Lan Yuntian continued.

"A new institution jointly established by the Great Jin Kingdom, the Yellow Dragon Kingdom, and our Central Plains Kingdom—the True Immortal Research Institute?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed longing.

It's obvious without even guessing that the Seeking Immortals project team and the True Immortals Research Institute behind it will have a brighter future.

"Many professionals dispatched from above will be joining the Seeking Immortals project team. Not everyone in our Nantianmen project team will be able to join. Therefore, you all need to think carefully before applying to stay or leave."

As Lan Yuntian spoke, he added, "Although the possibility that the 'Qianxing people' come from a technological civilization is very low, it does not mean that it is completely impossible. Moreover, no matter how low the probability, we will continue to maintain communication and contact with the 'Qianxing people'. If we can make any progress, you will all be the main contributors. Therefore, I hope that you can continue to stick to your posts."

At this moment, someone asked, "Team leader, will the confidentiality level of the Nantianmen project team be lowered next? I haven't been home for several years."

Lan Yuntian considered the information they had gathered regarding the Starshine Federation's infiltration of the Blue Sky Gate project team...

"The security level will be lowered to confidential... Based on the situation in Da Jin and Huang Long, it should be lowered further, but this does not include the members of the Seeking Immortals project team."

Blue Heavenly Dao.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Alright, you all have three days to consider."

As Lan Yuntian spoke, he quickly left with Zhao Shanhe, Zhao Qilin, and the others.

They have a lot to do next.

For example...

All Cultivation Method and texts related to "immortality" that were originally circulating online were deleted and included in a comprehensive blockade of strategic resources.

Unbelievable?

But who could have imagined that, according to news from the Great Jin Dynasty, some "cultivation" texts that were worthless on their Blue Star could actually be used in the Realm of Immortality?

How absurd!

This is the best example of turning waste into treasure.

This is why Lan Yuntian would utter such a fantastical statement as "a civilization that has mastered the speed of light, yet the weapons they use are still swords, spears, bows, and arrows."

Xie Yu, who was also a senior member of the project team, sat there for a moment, then got up as well.

"Xiaoyu, what are your plans?"

Qiu Yuyu walked over and asked a question.

"I?"

Xie Yusheng paused for a moment, then immediately said, "I will stay with the Nantianmen project team."

After all, the perks here are amazing, except for the fact that you can't go out freely.

Is it permissible to go out or not...?

Being a bit of a homebody by nature, he didn't care at all.

"Stay with the Nantianmen project team..."

Qiu Yuyu looked at Xie Yusheng, opened his mouth, and wanted to say that it wouldn't be a problem for him to apply to join the Immortal Seeking Project Team as the first person to make contact with that Qianxing person.

One can think of the prodigy in the Zhao Family whose position overlaps with his, plus Xie Yusheng's personality and background...

He ultimately said nothing.

He simply patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then stay and do a good job."
