Chapter 1819: Chapter 1020: Because of Me
"You seem to know us very well, humans who have mastered spiritual energy..."
A voice seemed to emerge from the hearts of everyone, as Protoss themselves naturally master spiritual energy and once maintained connections that far surpassed human communication efficiency.
The renowned Trisolarans, to some extent, were somewhat similar to the Protoss.
Even later, as individuals matured and personal thoughts became more prominent, causing connections to collapse, and even led to the Protoss of Ai’er erupting in the War of the Ages, with heavy casualties.
But ultimately, a Protoss named ’Savasen’ found the ’Kedalin Crystal,’ a divine artifact left by the divine spirits of the Salnaga in this universe, which restored the connection among the Protoss.
The ’Dark Temple Knights,’ who were rejected by the main Protoss of Ai’er and even hunted, were dissenters unwilling to join this connection.
Nonetheless, even when disconnected, the Protoss could rely on their skilled control of spiritual energy to establish temporary connections with other beings, though deeper exploration was not possible.
Presently, Tassadar employs this method, enabling everyone to directly understand meanings without processing through sound or speech, which at once made everyone aboard the Archangel feel somewhat enchanted and confused.
The human brain generates consciousness, controlling the vocal cords through neural signals to emit ’encoded’ ’language,’ which is then conducted through air vibrations to others’ ears for sound processing and decoding, a process that is indeed quite inefficient.
Like a person reviewing a pile of documents, inputting through hands and keyboard.
In contrast, the mind offers direct data transmission, eliminating all intermediate steps.
Only the thinking speed of the brain itself serves as a limitation.
"Your Protoss are the most perfect race on this universe’s mental plane, belonging to one of the extremes in this universe, so naturally, I am aware."
Before humans, some things are too exaggerated, and excess might lead to adverse effects, but the Protoss are different, having encountered the Salnaga and aware of the existence of those universe divine spirits!
Indeed, after Tao Yu spoke, Tassadar instantly became somewhat serious.
"The extreme of this universe... are you perhaps a Salnaga..."
Tassadar is straightforward, or perhaps all Protoss are like this, his inquiry is also quite direct.
Though the Salnaga reside in the void, they can embody into the material universe and possess the ability to disguise as any race, like Narud, the loyal henchman of Fallen Salnaga Amon, who often switches various identities to orchestrate affairs secretly.
According to Tassadar’s understanding, humans have never interacted with the Protoss, nor could they possess intelligence about them, so only Tao Yu being a Salnaga seems most plausible!
This interpretation also explains the previous powerful spiritual energy waves.
Tassadar’s spiritual energy is strong, having learned techniques from the Dark Temple Knight, yet even in his perception, he might lack that level of spiritual energy strength seen before.
This anomaly appearing in humans who have just begun developing spiritual energy individuals is quite unusual.
Tassadar himself is relatively peaceful by nature, sympathetic and lacking discrimination toward other lower civilizations, readily asking questions outright.
"Regrettably, your guess is somewhat close, yet I am not a Salnaga."
Tao Yu’s reply is honest, causing the spiritual brilliance in Tassadar’s eyes to flicker.
"I believe you. If you truly were a Salnaga, you would disdain deceit."
Back then, Fallen Salnaga Amon violated the Salnaga’s rule against intervening in civilizational processes, secretly activating earlier than other Salnaga and prematurely discovering the Protoss, accelerating the advancement of the Protoss civilization.
But similarly, due to waking early and embodying within the material universe long-term lacking void spiritual power replenishment, Amon directly absorbed Protoss energy for recovery, without even attempting concealment!
Even Fallen Salnaga would not stoop to lies and disguise, so Tassadar clearly understands that since this person declared he is not, then he certainly isn’t.
No matter if the other party gained knowledge through Salnaga relics or other reasons, at least it isn’t the worst-case scenario.
The Protoss themselves rarely interfere externally, appearing quite aloof due to their efficient interpersonal connections, resulting in general social anxiety and detachment in outward communications.
So Tassadar does not particularly mind Tao Yu knowing about Protoss and Salnaga, and even does not care how Tao Yu learned his name.
"Thank you for your trust, Executor Tassadar."
Tao Yu had deduced the Protoss’s feedback leading to such explanation, facilitating quick topic entry, then proactively asked.
"May I ask if the Executor’s visit concerns the energy fluctuations I controlled?"
"Indeed, the spiritual energy aura you displayed was too powerful, surpassing high-ranking Temple Knights. I am very curious why humans possess such spiritual energy, given they have just begun mastering it."
Tassadar is straightforward, expressing whatever concerns arise.
"Though since you denote knowledge of Salnaga, perhaps you gained inheritance or acquired some of their artifacts, in which case it wouldn’t be surprising."
