Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1843: Chapter 1838: The Significance of Research Findings

Staying home assembling fragments, and at the moment of completion, it actually came to life and could interact with me.

This counterintuitive development seems like a typical otaku fantasy, no wonder Professor Lisa was so shocked.

Undoubtedly, this discovery sparks more imagination about that dwelling of lost souls.

"It’s indeed miraculous, what do you think this represents?"

Momentarily, while praising the discoverer, Professor Lisa, Fu Qian even asked earnestly for advice.

For a true researcher, perhaps nothing is more fulfilling than having one’s work acknowledged.

Lisa, who has always strived to emphasize this aspect of her personality, particularly so.

She might often have opinions about this temporary leader before her, but she could completely sense the importance and sincerity given to this little prank by this person.

"I think it represents a certain essential attribute of this special Transcendent creature, which we might as well call ’Bone Spirit’.

"The thing we encountered last time, devouring all the way and undergoing changes at the end, wasn’t accidental."

For a moment, Lisa spared no effort in sharing some of her guesses she had since then.

"Remember the first time we went there, you mentioned they looked like maggots from the same corpse? Same nature, and could be disassembled and reassembled with each other.

"At the time it only seemed absurd, but thinking about it now, maybe it’s not without reason."

It even seems to integrate research results from multiple aspects.

"Due to a ridiculous sense of superiority, the Divine Ashes Institute has many unreliable ideas, but there’s one point that I think may not be without reason. That is, compared to the bones, it is the spirit that is the core essence of this type.

"Like the relationship between flesh and will, and they all directly come from the original body.

"The reason that bat skull lacked spirituality is because it was originally a fragment we destroyed and dismembered, incomplete.

"Only further splitting and disintegration, piecing together according to subordinate biological imprints, can serve the purpose of carrying, a process like stacking stones into a mark.

"All the Bone Spirits we saw inside were in the same situation.

"And the reason the spirit can be born from the mark, this change derives from the authority of that original body... What do you think?"

After finishing in one breath, Lisa’s eyes were bright, as if awaiting a teacher’s feedback in a defense.

...

"A very good idea."

It seemed like the mentor was in a good mood today, not only truly listening during the explanation but even refrained from intentional sharp criticism.

"It reminds me of the Bloodline Clan that can transform into a swarm of bats. From this perspective, it also seems to explain some kind of imprint of the power essence, allowing such a form to carry their will."

Not only that, Expert Fu even took the initiative to help find examples supporting the idea.

"But——"

However, it is well-known that a turn of events is indispensable in a defense process, Fu Qian continued to deduce amidst the fluctuations.

"According to what you said, as long as the things inside that giant pit are assembled like building blocks according to a certain rule, it’s likely to restore the body of a Divine Being?"

"...Yes."

Lisa felt a bit unsure, but after a glance at the fragment in her hand, she quickly regained her courage.

"This can also explain the source of a trace of divinity on it. When we went there last time, what we saw was actually such a process.

That thing plundered and devoured all the way, and eventually broke through a certain boundary, with a trace of divinity emerging in the ’spirit’.

I know it’s somewhat unimaginable, but this indeed is the pattern I’ve observed. Has Professor Fu seen similar examples before?"

Professor Lisa’s academic spirit is indeed commendable, not mindlessly defending herself, but even earnestly pointing out the places in her ideas that defy common sense.

Assembling together... emergence of divinity?

Yes, there’s the legend of gathering seven balls to summon the Dragon God.

As for her question, a thought naturally popped into Fu Qian’s mind.

Of course, it’s best not to say that out loud at the moment.

"What do you think, Miss Liushuang?"

So Fu Qian directly refrained from saying it, once again tossing the ball to the audience.

"Ah... Involving different Transcendent paths, it is indeed unimaginable for me as well, so there’s really no way to arbitrarily judge."

Faced with such a deep topic, Liushuang of the Cultivation Party finally felt somewhat at a loss this time.

"Did you hear that? Unimaginable doesn’t necessarily mean wrong."

Before Professor Lisa could express dissatisfaction with the behavior, Fu Qian smoothly continued the conversation.

"Feel free to verify, and if the Divine Ashes folks have any comments, let them come to me. Now, this is a collaborative project between two labs."

...

Indeed, Professor Fu still recognizes my ideas to a certain extent and even provided a bit of academic spirit guidance.

Though she said nothing, Lisa was still very spirited at that moment.

"But have you ever thought about what it means if your idea comes true?"

At this point, Fu Qian took the bone fragment from her hand, placed it next to the Bone Horseshoe Crab, and examined it closely before asking with a sudden smile.

"What does it mean?"

Getting a bit creeped out by the smile, Lisa asked stiffly.

"It means transforming from an insect that can only roar to scare people, by continuous assemblage into new forms, with power growth, ranking ascension, ultimately becoming Divine Beings.

"If not confined to humans as the subject, this could almost be seen as an alternative path to divinity, and there is no disconnect in this chain."

Fu Qian shook his head, voice calm.

"Thinking from this angle, doesn’t it seem even more interesting?"

Indeed, she hadn’t thought from this angle...

It could be seen, at that moment even Miss Liushuang was deeply shocked, let alone Lisa, who was quietly lost in herself.

Indeed, how much this resembles the process of a Transcendent continuously ascending and eventually reaching the top.

"You mean... there’s a complete path to divinity on that corpse?"

When Lisa spoke again, her voice was almost hoarse.

"It’s most likely only useful as a reference or a perfect experimental material."

And Fu Qian shook his head again.

"Even if someone could indeed follow that chain, swallowing and digesting step by step, I don’t think they’d end up very well."

"Alright then."

Taking a long breath, for Lisa, this midnight brainstorming session seemed somewhat intense.

"But for now, you don’t have to worry about the Divine Ashes folks causing trouble. Recently, a young Psychic Series Transcendent who ascended to the Fourth Phase has visited, and they are all very concerned about it.

"They might at most bring that genius girl in front of you, to show you the superiority of the Psychic Series."

The genius girl, having stayed in the ark for the past two days, has even Miss Wen already arrived?

Faced with Professor Lisa’s self-deprecating joke, Fu Qian sighed inwardly.

"No problem, when the time comes, just invite her to sit in."
