Ian pushed open the heavy Magic Metal door with an indifferent expression, and walked steadily out of the room that had just experienced the direct impact of Main God's will. His breath was so steady that it was as if the contest that could break the law just now was just an insignificant academic exchange for him.
His destination was another laboratory. When he opened the door, a dreamlike white mist rushed towards him. It was the product of high concentration of soul nourishment condensed in the air.
In the room, Tobias and his group were standing uneasily. The moment they saw Ian appear, except for Kingsley who could barely maintain the logical stability of his face, Michelle and Sasha almost subconsciously took half a step back.
"What's wrong? Your faces look even paler than they were in the vacuum of space just now." Ian asked casually, his eyes passing over the crowd, and finally resting on Michelle's eyes that were still filled with the aftermath of fear.
"Sir... what happened just now?" Michelle's voice trembled slightly. The great power spreading from the depths of the earth gave her an extremely helpless feeling like a mortal looking directly at a god destroying the universe. "What exactly is that power?"
"Nothing, I just said hello to the 'Main God' behind you, and tested its reaction strength by the way." Ian replied lightly, as if he was not talking about the most terrifying predator among Multiverse, but a fierce dog raised by a neighbor. "That is the power of Main God that you have always been afraid of like a tiger."
Tobias's brows were knitted tightly together. As the think tank of this team, he keenly captured the terrifying message hidden in Ian's words.
He knew that Ian just tried to touch the prohibition deep in Reincarnators's soul. That behavior was tantamount to igniting a fire in a powder keg. "Sir, did you... fail? With that kind of power, even Legendary Arcanist, who is at the top of Eighth Tier like you, would find it difficult to confront it head-on, right?"
"Who told you that I failed?" Ian's mouth curved with amusement, "There seems to be some misunderstanding in your understanding of power. Yes, the power of curse and obliteration descended by Main God is indeed as vast as the sea, and has exceeded the limit that I can currently compete with head-on. However, this does not mean that the 'owner' of that power is stronger than me."
"What... what does this mean?" Tobias was completely stunned. Even with his enhanced mental acuity, he could not understand the logic at this time. It was like a person telling you that this bullet could kill him, but the person who fired the shot was a child with no strength.
Ian had no intention of explaining it. For him, this profound subject involving the relationship between "Authority" and "energy pool" was not taboo knowledge that this group of Reincarnators could touch. He raised his hand, and a white cloud of ever-changing shapes hung above his palm, in which Blink occasionally shone a faint light spot of soul.
"Is this... the soul of Hernandez?" Set, as a Arcanist who is pursuing Truth, ignored the fear in his heart and quickly walked forward to observe, "But what he received The trauma is too severe. According to my perception, at least three-quarters of the soul's origin is missing. This level of damage has been pronounced dead even in some civilizations known as Life Magic. Can this kind of injury... really be saved?"
"In your eyes, that is a terminal disease, but in the face of real arcane technology, it is just a slightly more complicated jigsaw puzzle." Ian pointed to the hazy pool in the center of the laboratory.
The liquid in the pool was neither Potions nor a simple spring of life. Ian motioned for everyone to get closer and observe, and then threw the incomplete soul into the pool very casually. The next scene completely subverted the understanding of the group of Reincarnators.
The originally sluggish cloud and mist, which seemed to be about to dissipate at any time, miraculously stabilized the moment it touched the pool water. Then, it began to absorb the surrounding energy crazily, and extended outward and reorganized at a speed visible to the naked eye. It felt like a shriveled seed taking root and sprouting in a state of accelerated time.
"This is simply... this goes against the common sense of the immortality and conservation of the soul!" Set exclaimed, his eyes turning red due to excessive blood congestion, "What is the principle of this?"
"The principle is very simple." Ian stood by the pool, his tone as calm as if he was teaching a basic course, "Everything in the world, as long as it is a living body with Self consciousness, has a unique set of 'Life Code'. This set of codes is the manuscript for your existence in this Void, and is usually divided into three dimensions: body, blood and soul."
Some people subconsciously looked at Kingsley beside them. After all, this was the only "soulless" alien among them.
"The physical dimension records your DNA sequence, and Soul Dimension also records all information about the nature of your consciousness. Just as your genes contain information for repairing damaged limbs, the Life Code of the soul also backs up the complete Self blueprint." Ian continued to explain.
"The function of the liquid in this pool is to use the massive amount of Soul Energy to activate the original blueprint hidden in the tiny bit of residual soul. It is not 'treating', but 'incrementally printing' based on the residual sequence, so that the soul can return to its peak."
"Genetic manipulation of the soul?" Sasha muttered to himself.
"Genetic manipulation of the soul..." Ian savored the description carefully, and then gave Sasha an approving look, "A very insightful summary. It seems that although you chose the wrong career path, your inspiration is pretty good."
After receiving the approval of this moody emperor, Sasha felt an inexplicable sense of humble pride in her heart, although she immediately spurned this undignified idea deep in her heart.
"This level of magic technology..." Seth's eyes flashed with an almost fanatical greed, "If you can master it, it means you truly have the key to eternal life."
"Don't think about it, young man. Your current technical reserves have not even reached the threshold of being able to independently perform micro-incision surgery on the soul. This level of dimensional construction will only make your brain explode in an instant." Ian coldly interrupted Set's fantasy. Then, he seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes looked at Set with a strange look.
"Although your talent is mediocre and you lack the iron-blooded spirit that a Arcanist should have to dare to fight in unknown areas, I have to say that your luck is very good. That kind of luck... reminds me of the so-called 'Child of Destiny' in some low-level universes. So, I decided to give you a compensation."
Ian stretched out his finger and tapped Void lightly, and a bright beam of light directly penetrated Set's forehead.
"This is your reward for handing over Titan Arcane Staff. There is a spell model named 'Life Code Analysis' recorded in it."
Set was browsing the complex and profound runes in Sea of Consciousness, and his body was shaking due to the violent shock, "Life Code... the ultimate of blood, soul and DNA Fusion... Sir, this level of magic is enough to be the beginning of a terrifying civilization! It would take tens of thousands of geniuses to study sleeplessly for hundreds of thousands of years to deduce it, right? You really just... gave it to me like this?"
"Don't think too highly of it." Ian shrugged casually, "This is a semi-finished product that I tossed out when I was twenty-one years old, when I was just a Zero Tier magic apprentice. What I give you is the best. It is primitive, and can even be said to be full of loopholes. To truly exert its power, you have to spend at least hundreds of years debugging the underlying logic. But you are right, in some civilizations, this is indeed enough for them to use it as their national capital."
"Twenty-one years old... apprentice stage..." Set felt that his world view was collapsing, "This is impossible, how can there be such a person in the world..."
"Unfortunately, I am." Ian smiled, "Looking back now, my life story is indeed quite legendary."
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Ian did not chase people away immediately. Instead, he leisurely talked about his past in front of this group of Reincarnators. This gesture made the awkward conference room atmosphere slightly relaxed.
"Sir... where are you from?" Michelle couldn't help but ask, she had a premonition that this would be the most shocking information she had ever heard.
"To a certain extent, you and I are actually the same kind. I was originally born on a planet called Earth. During the so-called 'First Wizarding War', I accidentally reincarnated into the world of Harry Potter. There, I climbed from an orphan who barely survived the crazy killings of Voldemort to the top of power step by step."
Everyone held their breath and listened to the great emperor recounting the Warpath that rewrote history like a treasure trove.
"At the age of twenty-one, I uncovered the mystery of Life Code. At the age of twenty-three, I used absolute power to conquer the entire Europe and even the Wizarding World of the world, completing the first true unification of wizards in human history. At the age of twenty-four, I tore that piece to pieces with my own hands The fig leaf named 'Statute of Secrecy' announced the existence of magic to the world, and forcibly promoted the peaceful coexistence of wizards and Muggles. At the age of twenty-nine, through various tactics and military means, I completed the rule of the entire planet and established the predecessor of the Arcane Empire."
"When I was about fifty years old, Empire had already entered the era of magic technology, and our footprints were all over Solar System. At that time, I was lucky. With the help of my mentor Merlin, I finally overcame the technical barriers to Omniverse travel. Through continuous Looting and integrating knowledge from different dimensions, Empire is expanding like a runaway heavy-duty locomotive. Today, Empire is less than a hundred years old, and already has hundreds of Seventh Tier Arcanist and millions of Sixth Tier elites under his command."
There was an unconcealable pride in Ian's tone. "And the most important thing is that with the Supreme Floating City I built with my own hands, which is strong enough to fight against Cosmic Will and kill the gods, Arcane Empire has been officially rated as an Tenth Tier civilization. Tobias, after listening to this, do you really no longer consider being my direct disciple? You will have an entire civilization of this level standing behind you as a backing."
Tobias was silent for a long time, looking at Blink, and finally shook his head cautiously, "Sir, even if you are recruiting me, there is no need to make up such lies that even a three-year-old child would not believe."
"Lie? I never bother to lie about this kind of thing."
"In less than a hundred years, you forcibly elevated a low-demon world to Tenth Tier civilization, and you yourself stepped into Eighth Tier before you were a hundred years old... This is completely inconsistent with the natural evolution law of the universe." Tobias insisted.
"Ah, I understand, you ignored the difference in time dimensions." Ian slapped his forehead, "It is true that Empire was established less than a hundred years ago, but that is not the case for me. With the help of the difference in time flow rate in different universes and Empire's peak 'Time Acceleration technology', based on my biological age, I have lived for more than nine hundred years."
"Nine hundred years old... This sounds a little more reasonable." Set murmured in a low voice. But in his heart, there was still a storm. Because he knew very well that a nine hundred-year-old Eighth Tier Arcanist was still the kind of monster that was rarely seen in ten thousand years according to Omniverse's scale.
He himself is already two hundred and forty years old, and he is still just an elf who can reach the threshold of Sixth Tier, and this was achieved only after he completed a difficult task that lasted for decades in Warcraft Universe.
In an environment like Samsara Hall's "cheating" through points, it might be possible to get to Tenth Tier within a hundred years, but for Arcanist Civilization, who is down-to-earth in scientific research, this is indeed a miracle.
"If you consider the weird relics in Harry Potter Universe, such as the sacred artifacts left by Bleach, Hourglass of Time, Philosopher's Stone, and those hidden in Department of Mysteries "The Forbidden Room, Ian The Rise of the Great Emperor does have a solid Cornerstone." Kingsley's cold electronic sound suddenly sounded, and his database contains a large amount of background information about each classic plane.
"Exquisite analysis." Ian glanced at Kingsley with satisfaction, "I did use those things as a springboard to lay the underlying structure of the Empire. In this case, Tobias, do you want to change your mind?"
"Sorry, sir, I have my own way to go." Although Tobias was moved, his extreme desire for freedom made him unable to bear this master-disciple relationship, which was almost a disguised form of slavery.
"That's such a pity." Ian shook his head, and then he no longer forced himself. Since the other party insisted on struggling in that cold temple, he would also respect the strong man's choice.
His attention returned to the pool water, and Hernandez's soul had completely solidified. The next plan was to use this "chess piece" that had already mastered some of Main God's information to start an unprecedented reverse hunt against the Samsara Hall.
