Chapter 438: The Truth (Request for Subscription)
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "What do you mean? What experiment? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Huang Fuqing: "It seems your father never told you, when your mother was pregnant, she accidentally encountered a soul-impact from a replica of Great Sun Venerable. She was fine, but your soul was greatly damaged, in a state of continuous dissolution."
Huang Fuqing: "At that time, I and a few friends diagnosed that even if your mother gave birth to you, you wouldn't live past ten years of age, your soul was severely polluted, and the will of Great Sun Venerable had already targeted you. But you were just a baby then, your soul was extremely weak, unable to bear it."
Lin Rui stood stunned, thinking that such a thing had happened in his childhood?
However, Lin Rui had grown up safely and reached the day of his possession.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "I was polluted by Great Sun Venerable? How did I survive then?"
Huang Fuqing: "I'm not sure. At that time, all of us had given up, even including your father. Only your mother was unwilling to accept it. She and your father together planned an experimental project called 'X', and they deceived a large amount of funds from the Longevity Association. They said it was to research how to enter the Abyss, but as far as I know, the real purpose of the experiment was to keep you alive."
Huang Fuqing: "I don't know how she did it, it's simply a miracle. From the sensing of this possessed Emperor Haoshen Dragon, your telekinetic spirit seems very pure, apparently, you've completely freed yourself from Great Sun Venerable."
Huang Fuqing: "It's strange, the mark of the Abyss carved into a soul only results in three outcomes: either you cannot bear it and die, or you become assimilated by the Abyss, or you assimilate the Abyss and eventually become the new Great Sun Venerable. You should know, even the seventh-generation hierarch of the Bright Holy Sect, a peerless genius, ultimately failed."
Huang Fuqing: "Also, I saw you using the Pure Method earlier, which is an Abyssal Concept independently created by the seventh-generation hierarch of the Bright Holy Sect, distinct from many Great Sun Methods. Why do you have it on you? You're only in the Fifth Realm, why can you possess an Abyssal Concept?"
Huang Fuqing: "So I'm very curious, what exactly did your parents do? Your father is a top-tier biologist, his capabilities are no less than mine, and your mother specializes in souls, electromagnetism, and computer programming, even one of the main designers of soul uploading to quantum supercomputers. In the aspect of souls, she is a true expert. They accomplished a miracle on you."
After reading Huang Fuqing's reply, Lin Rui frowned, his expression turning peculiar.
He remembered himself—Great Sun Venerable, Thunder Saint Body, Light Saint, Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, Pure Method.
Lin Rui thought, could all this be a coincidence?
Huang Fuqing: "But you still need to be careful! I once had the privilege of seeing a passage left by the seventh-generation hierarch of the Bright Holy Sect. He warned all who practice the Abyss Skills, some of them seem to have great fortune in their lives, succeeding effortlessly in everything and achieving great success in a very short time. But in reality, it's the power of the Abyss, twisting fate, accelerating their resurrection."
Lin Rui's gaze gradually became solemn, then he smiled wryly.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Thanks for the warning, but I'm more curious, Academician, are you dead or alive right now?"
Huang Fuqing: "I'm dead, but thanks to you, I might come back to life in the future. That thing in your hand is incredible. I haven't yet figured out how it was made or based on what mechanism. I only guess that it might contain fragments of the Abyss."
Lin Rui's pupils contracted again, the Battle Spirit Ring in his hand, was it made from Abyss fragments? This was something he bought on Antique Street over two thousand years ago!
Huang Fuqing: "That girl next to you, she must be the Despair Heavenly Girl from the Double Heavenly Maiden project? Looking at her condition, it's very promising; she has even maintained her superficial health after reaching the Fourth Realm. It seems the lifespan extension surgery your father performed on them was also successful."
Huang Fuqing: "The medicine you made for her is truly stunning, showing that you have not only a very solid theoretical foundation in biology and pharmacology but also a strong ability for analysis and innovation. I wonder if you were self-taught or learned from your father? The intelligence of your family, really leaves one at a loss for words."
Huang Fuqing: "With your capability in drug development, coupled with your grasp of the Pure Concept, perhaps it's really_possible for the sisters to survive."
Huang Fuqing: "By the way, that 'Iron Heart' Armament you made earlier is really quite impressive. In fact, I was also researching in this area before my death. Unfortunately—"
Lin Rui's expression turned slightly peculiar.
It seemed Huang Fuqing was unaware that a significant part of his abilities had been copied from Huang Fuqing himself. Did he not realize it himself?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Academician, as far as I know, you were in charge of the Double Heavenly Maiden project. Shouldn't there be a way for them to survive?"
Huang Fuqing: "I actually can't help with that. I was indeed the chief scientist of the Double Heavenly Maiden project, but back then, it wasn't called Double Heavenly Maiden, but 'Twin Divine.' At that time, the Longevity Association found the divine remains of the 'Twin Venerable' and asked me to lead the research. However, I lost control of the project three years later."
Huang Fuqing: "My initial advice was to proceed gradually, first to thoroughly understand the fundamental mysteries of the Abyss like the Abyss Source Material, Abyss Concept, Abyss Golden Core, Abyss Battle Dragon, Abyss Source Core, and Abyss Soul, and then start manufacturing Abyss Weapons. However, the Longevity Association was impatient for success and listened to a colleague of mine. In the third year, they began developing the human body for the 'Twin Divine' project."
Huang Fuqing: "They used the genes of numerous Ninth Realm powerhouses from the Earth Federation as samples, integrating key structures from the 'Twin Venerable' DNA sample into humans. This led to the creation of tens of thousands of test-tube babies. Of these infants, ultimately two girls survived. That year, the Twin Divine project was officially renamed as 'Double Heavenly Maiden,' and my colleague took over the project in full capacity as the deputy chief scientist."
Huang Fuqing: "This person was Zhen Hao, a famous figure in the scientific community and an extremely radical scientist. I felt their research was very inhumane. Even if it was successful, it would only lead to disaster by making the so-called Twin Divine Goddesses extremely hostile towards humanity. Therefore, I didn't partake further and didn't pay much attention. Your father was also coerced into taking over when the project was nearing its end and declared a failure."
Huang Fuqing: "However, I kept all the bodily data from the Double Heavenly Maiden project experiments. This should be of help to you."
Instead of sending him the files, Huang Fuqing gave him a highly complex password.
Lin Rui opened the initial interface of the experimental base's database and, upon entering the password, indeed saw a substantial amount of files within.
To Lin Rui's surprise, not only did this include abundant experimental data from the Double Heavenly Maiden project, but it also included many scientific experiments that Huang Fuqing had participated in, as well as some content he had not yet published.
While browsing, Lin Rui thought that the result was not bad. Although it couldn't completely solve Lin Xi's problems, having these experimental documents would indeed facilitate his subsequent research.
Lin Rui then forwarded this password to Lin Xi.
The young girl, together with Lin Guangming, was trying her best to break into this database. She was initially surprised to see the password, but then fell silent.
Those childhood experiences were nightmares she never wanted to recall.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Academician, I also want to know what you meant by 'might be able to live on in the future'?"
Huang Fuqing: "I meant it literally. My current Spiritual Sense relies entirely on the power of that ring you have for reconsolidation. So my core is effectively sourced from you, which can be understood as a program coded from a part of your soul as the core code."
Huang Fuqing: "You had just refined my Mecha Dragon, eliminating all the imprints I had left inside the Mecha Dragon during my lifetime. It's akin to formatting a hard drive."
Huang Fuqing: "This allows me to potentially re-establish a connection with the Mecha Dragon, as the essence of the spirit comes from flesh. When I have a body to rely on, it's hard to be labeled as 'dead.'"
Huang Fuqing: "Therefore, I hope you can keep me inside this Battle Dragon rather than the ring on your hand, of course, I will also fully comply with any of your commands."
Lin Rui stroked his chin, contemplating that his guess seemed to be correct.
His eyes took on a peculiar look again. Based on what Huang Fuqing said, was this No. 3 Battle Spirit actually Huang Fuqing himself, or a Soul Division of his, Lin Rui?
Yet, neither Huang Fuqing nor Ji Shenyan seemed to see it that way; they had a very strong sense of self-awareness.
