Chapter 241

Of course, even with such an incredible rate of information flow, the accumulated information of the Alaya Race over hundreds of thousands of years still takes time to process.

Wen Jing naturally prioritized extracting the information that was most important to her.

Three consciousnesses, under the guidance of the Analysis Personality, research the technology to create a perfect biological swarm, while three other consciousnesses, led by the creative consciousness belt, review the abilities of Awakened born in past human eras.

Apart from the fact that Heavenly Evolution's records were intentionally erased, this place stores the complete archives of all the Awakened humans captured and studied by the Alaya Race throughout history.

Compared to the overwhelming and indistinguishable senses and feelings amidst the flood of information, archival information located at the knowledge level is much easier to find.

Grade A, Grade B, Grade C... The names are densely packed and neatly arranged.

Wen Jing focused her attention on S-level abilities; the ability to fully revive her teacher, which she desired, was undoubtedly a rule-level ability.

During the more than 100,000 years that the Alaya Race kept humans in captivity, there were a total of 364 recorded S-level Awakened.

211 people were tricked into entering the Sacred Core. Without exception, their consciousness collapsed after entering the Sacred Core. A few lasted longer, but in the end, they could not escape the same fate.

The spatial folding labyrinth [Boundless] that currently protects the Sacred Core originated from an S-class Awakened —this is one of [Heavenly Evolution]'s abilities, which allows one to share an extraordinary ability with their thought network.

However, there is only one 'spell slot'.

The prophets were carefully selected to choose the power of the Boundless, leaving the Mastermind helpless against them.

Boundless is usually in a partially activated state; when fully activated, it can radiate its power to all the Alaya planets.

Previously, the prophets made an exception and connected Wen Jing, an 'A-level', to the Sacred Core, hoping to analyze her ability to anchor into the Ancient Wilderness, and then replace [Boundless]'s position, so that the Alaya Civilization would also have the ability to enter the Ancient Wilderness.

Unfortunately, her characteristics were never what the other party expected.

Wen Jing quickly flipped through the files when suddenly, his entire Mind Palace trembled.

Subject 136, Class S Experiment

Name of the Wilderness Body: Holy Spirit

Species: Unknown Fantasy Species

Morphology: Deer-like shape without physical form

Ability Description: Can exchange its own status with other biological or inorganic targets, and possesses superhuman regenerative abilities, theoretically capable of infinite regeneration.

"Xu Yuan, the power of the Holy Spirit... could it resurrect our teacher?"

Upon unlocking the information about this Awakened from a previous human era 20,000 years ago, she immediately exchanged for the information through the Xu Yuan.

"Yes."

After searching for more than three years, this time, Xu Yuan finally gave her positive news.

"This ability is essentially ' Information Exchange,' allowing one to exchange their current state information for any other individual's state information, including abnormal information, and even the 'survival' and 'death' states of life."

He said, "But doing so will inevitably result in the death of the ability user."

"Is the price one life for another...?"

Wen Jing wasn't surprised; resurrecting someone who was completely dead naturally comes at a price.

She immediately followed up with, "Can I use a Clone to replace the teacher's state?"

Xu Yuan exchanged the information and nodded in confirmation, saying, "Yes, but the exchange between 'death' and 'survival' is continuous. If you do this, you, Sovereign, will no longer be able to restore that Clone through splitting your consciousness, and the number of Clone you possess will forever be one less."

"Can."

The price for reviving the teacher is permanently reducing Wen Jing's life, but she didn't hesitate. "How many Skill Points are needed to exchange for this ability?"

Xu Yuan reported the number, "1323409."

Over a million is an astronomical price for a one-time ability exchange, far exceeding the previous Heavenly Evolution.

However, there's a reason why it's expensive.

This is no longer a suppression of Information Touch; it has truly changed information.

If Wen Jing were to evolve this ability, its price would increase a hundredfold.

At the same time, she would have to pay the price of her life. Even if other Awakened without the ability to split themselves had all the conditions she currently possessed, they would still find it difficult to pay the price.

But for Wen Jing now, this answer is finally clear and achievable!

If Digestion most of the knowledge stored within the Sacred Core, and combines this with the benefits of her self-created Insect Race skills, she should reach a million Skill Points faster than before.

"It should take about five months for me to accumulate enough Fire of Civilization to exchange for Holy Spirit abilities."

Just then, a thought came from a personality node, Calmness the Dominant Will down from the immense excitement of obtaining the method to revive the teacher.

"Before resurrecting the teacher, we should take revenge first."

"If we deal with the Mastermind, reviving the teacher will be no problem. But if we use Skill Points to revive the teacher first, we'll still have to face the Mastermind's threat."

The Mastermind was not the ' Prophet ' that Wen Jing had once thought, but a powerful level three civilization.

Below S-rank are all ants; currently, she is the only S-rank in the human camp.

Other humans can't help Wen Jing; on the contrary, they need her protection. The Mastermind monitors and controls the actions of all humans and possesses unified force weapons. Historically, it has initiated several cycles of human civilization's destruction.

All Awakened can only escape by hiding in the Ancient Wilderness, but they cannot hide Ancient Wilderness for long. As day turns into night, the Ancient Wilderness becomes a dangerous place again.

Even if a small number of Awakened manage to survive, all the other ordinary humans will die.

Neither of the two Type III civilizations cares about the survival of existing humanity; they have genetic reserves, so they wouldn't hesitate to destroy the world.

In addition, Wen Jing also had to consider a possibility from the underworld—what if, after finally reviving his teacher, he died again in the battle against the Mastermind...?

"Furthermore, not only must we seek revenge, but we must do so as quickly as possible."

The Mastermind may not be aware of Wen Jing at the moment, and it seems she can continue to develop in secret.

But this is tantamount to using one's own weaknesses to attack the opponent's strengths.

In terms of technology, Wen Jing still needs to learn and catch up with the technology of the Alaya Race. The current Mastermind —based on the information she obtained from the Sacred Core —is already far superior to what the Alaya members outside know.

Wen Jing would not underestimate any enemy, let alone a civilization like the Mastermind, which also possesses Gestalt Consciousness.

She spent three months Digestion the technology of the Alaya Race; the Mastermind may have already gone through three iterations. If she spent a year, it would have gone through twelve iterations.

She can undergo extraordinary evolution, and the Mastermind can also evolve technologically.

"The longer you wait, the smaller your chances of winning become."

"The current intelligence gap is our greatest advantage in this covert subversion of the Alaya Civilization. The Mastermind believes that Weiluo is merely an A-level Awakened chosen by the Alaya Race, that the Sacred Core is still under the control of the six prophets, and that the other Alaya Race members completely obey the Sacred Core's commands..."

Personality Network rapidly exchange information, and ultimately, the Dominant Will sets the goal:

"Develop a plan to infiltrate the Federation, then launch a surprise attack on the Mastermind!"

Chapter 241

A day after the news of the disappearance of the Xu Yuan, the Sacred Core announced a major piece of news to all members of the entire Alaya Civilization.

"A major breakthrough has been achieved in the specialized research on the experimental subject ' Weiluo Seran'."

"The Sacred Core has successfully applied this technology to the fifth-level researcher, Xu Yuan. His star has now entered the Ancient Wilderness Realm, is currently stable, and has successfully completed the experiment of returning to the material universe in the body of an executor."

"This technology can currently only be applied to one member and is undergoing further universal testing. In the future, the Xu Yuan's agent will continue to operate within the Empire under the identity of ' Weiluo, ' reporting directly to the six prophets. All members will suspend all research projects and cooperate with her actions."

The news spread instantly throughout the six major factions, causing an uproar.

"Entered the Ancient Wilderness? The researcher's true form entered the Ancient Wilderness?"

"Our long-cherished dream, the dream of civilization for so many years... we can finally step into the Ancient Wilderness!"

"If we can enter the Ancient Wilderness, why would we need to tolerate and keep those humans in captivity anymore? We can just wipe them out."

"No... humanity is not a concern; we should destroy the Mastermind Civilization first!"

"Of course, didn't you understand the deeper meaning behind suspending all research projects? Wasn't the last suspension when the Mastermind betrayed us?"

The members of the Alaya Civilization were thrilled; stars shone brightly outside the Imperial system, and information was exchanged rapidly through the planetary network.

Actually, when they first received reassurance from the sect leader, many people had some suspicions, but they didn't dare to think too deeply about it, fearing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

At this moment, they were not surprised as to why the celestial bodies in the Xu Yuan did not return. Having finally entered the Ancient Wilderness Realm, they would have tried every means to stay Ancient Wilderness study everything inside.

More importantly, the report stated that it is now possible to return the surrogate's body to the material universe, which is an incredibly significant technological leap.

Once the technological upgrade is complete, the Alaya Race will be able to travel freely through the Ancient Wilderness just like humans.

No, the Alaya Race's Wilderness Body are planetary bodies, which are definitely superior to those of current humans. The proxy body is just Clone to them, so there is no need to worry about real death.

Of course, while the entire clan was thrilled by this news, many researchers also felt a deep envy for Xu Yuan.

"Why Xu Yuan? Is it really the ' Luck ' he always talks about?"

"Weiluo's permission to enter the Sacred Core must mean he discovered something, something only the Prophet and the leader of the Matter Transformation Faction know."

However, this was ultimately the first attempt, and while the other researchers were envious, their enthusiasm wasn't particularly strong.

After all, while the first test subject was Luck, there were also corresponding unknown risks. Once the prophets in the Sacred Core complete their research and the technology becomes widespread, everyone will be able to enter the Ancient Wilderness without any worries.

Only Panxi considered another angle, sighing with regret, "Was the choice of Xu Yuan over other members because Weiluo's consciousness, stripped from the Sacred Core, only accepts Xu Yuan?"
