Chapter 1722 - 382: You Are My Eyes, and Also My Life (Full - !) (Part 3)

Gu Shen casually found a nearby life capsule to check.

The surface of this capsule was coated with red silver.

A large amount of nutrient solution soaked a less than half-year-old infant; due to "freezing" technology, this infant ceased to grow.

Back then in Huazhi Underground.

Cui Zhongcheng told Gu Shen that the Federation Government decided to experimentally implement the "Gene Act" underground to combat the impending Source Material Storm, to see if they could artificially create a Divine Throne. But the final outcome was very unfavorable; the artificially created infants could not be well-controlled by the Federation Government, and various unstable symptoms appeared, with their lifespans being very short.

Due to the extremely low success rate.

And it transgressed the commonly accepted moral and ethical baseline of humanity.

Thus, the parliament chose to halt the act.

As for the "life" already created by the Gene Act, out of humanitarianism, they would not be eradicated.

After being frozen, they were no longer intentionally dealt with.

"The number of ’babies’ created by the Gene Act is far greater than those in Huazhi Underground."

Chu Ling sighed softly, saying: "Those in the Frost Iron Mountain Disaster Zone did not completely freeze successfully... some have already revived."

The life capsules here are not all sealed.

Several capsules have already been opened.

"These embryos, the oldest ones, grew in the nutrient solution till five years of age."

Gu Shen glanced around and said: "Due to Netherworld Fire converting into black spot source material, the source energy capsule can keep operating... the Netherworld King specially dealt with the capsules moved here. Unlike Huazhi Underground’s ’Absolute Freeze,’ the Netherworld King encouraged the ’awakening’ of these Transcendent embryos; the capsule surface has a self-unlocking escape device, as long as these infants’ consciousness can escape ’freezing,’ they can obtain their own freedom."

The word freedom.

He said it very sarcastically.

Where is freedom here? Here is a closed Disaster Realm!

Mu Wanqiu was also inspecting the abandoned temple.

With her authority, she naturally knew about the Gene Act back then... seeing so many life capsules stacked together, even a fool could guess where these capsules came from.

"Here is the Spiritual Link system of [Deep Sea], the closed Array Box Sea Area."

Mu Wanqiu arrived at a secluded corner of the temple.

She suddenly realized something: "If these Transcendent embryos escape the capsules, then as long as they spiritually link with the Array Box Sea Area, they can learn certain knowledge..."

"Learning..."

Gu Shen also arrived at the old, dusty host corner of the temple, silently looking at this old yet complete "knowledge system," roughly guessing what the former Netherworld King wanted to do.

If someone revived.

Then they must first escape the life capsule’s confinement, and then try to learn.

Only by "surviving" and leaving here do they qualify to become "human."

At this moment, he suddenly recalled the "deceased" who had locked themselves in the coffin earlier—

"Boom!"

Gu Shen quickly unfolded the Pure Land, walking briskly among the array of life capsules; wind and frost swept by, summoning the deceased who had just arrived in soul form at the Pure Land, a withered figure tortured by Netherworld Poison, floating around like drifting willow leaves, thus following beside Gu Shen.

Gu Shen was very patient, going from capsule to capsule.

He only stopped at the broken ones, the ones escaped...

The "deceased" who lost consciousness and only had instincts left, followed Gu Shen, emitting bewildered spiritual waves throughout.

Until Gu Shen stopped at a certain fragmented capsule.

"Woo woo woo!"

This "deceased" suddenly became excited, fearfully approaching Gu Shen.

After reincarnation.

It became a part of the Pure Land, while Gu Shen is the master of the entire Pure Land.

"...Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Gu Shen really wanted to reach out and comfort this consciousness-shattered soul, but his fingers touched the frost and snow in the Pure Land, only to meet empty space.

The projection of the Spiritual World can never appear in the reality world.

"This soul?"

Mu Wanqiu stared blankly at the capsule in front of Gu Shen.

She seemed to understand what the soul’s reaction was about.

"Hiss."

Gu Shen pinched a wisp of Chi Huo between two fingers from his brow, placing it in front of the life capsule, starting the [side write], tracing back the time of the capsule; due to the intervention of Netherfire Authority, everything here could be classified as "forbidden information," but as it happened Gu Shen is now the owner of that wisp of Netherfire Authority, thus the interference of Authority Power is completely null.

Time rapidly rewinds like this.

In the spiritual image’s tracing, this broken life capsule returned to its "perfect condition."

That was many years ago.

A confused and ignorant child was frozen in the capsule, accidentally awakening one day and freed itself from the life capsule’s confinement, came to the human world; due to the powerful Extraordinary Gene, it quickly learned to crawl not long after landing, then proceeded to normal walking, human instinct guided it to begin extraordinary cultivation...

Every infant produced by the Gene Act was an excellent Extraordinary Warrior.

But they still needed to "learn."

This desolate temple, sealed by the Netherfire Authority, can never be left by Transcendents without "thinking ability."

Thus, the baby who barely broke free of confinement frantically absorbed the knowledge from the "knowledge system" left by the Netherworld King.
