Chapter 1109 - 585: Secret Technique for Resurrection and Enhancing Civilization Potential

The starlight flickered for a moment.

Wen Zehan suddenly changed the subject: "However, Mr. Ghost has significant concerns about this method of rapidly reproducing the population."

A researcher curiously asked, "What concerns?"

Wen Zehan replied: "This year marks the fifth year since the arrival of the Canglan Civilization in the Primordial World, and Great Xia’s birth population will reach 68 million.

"Let’s make an assumption: if this method is adopted to reproduce 68 million newborns, Great Xia’s birth population will double instantly.

"Currently, the ratio of Xia People awakening superpowers is one average superpower user per 9,000 births, and it is projected to improve to one per 2,000 births in twenty years.

"Based on this calculation, the additional 68 million newborns will bring an extra 34,000 superpower users to Great Xia.

"This sounds promising, but have you considered a sociological issue: would naturally born ordinary people and supernaturally reproduced unnatural people recognize each other?"

Everyone was stumped by the question.

After two seconds.

A researcher thoughtfully replied: "Previously, I’ve read in a science fiction novel about technology for rapid population reproduction, where commoners refer to these people as ’biochemical humans,’ and there is a strong opposition between ordinary people and biochemical humans.

"According to the novel’s logic, humans relate to ordinary people with the same identity and exclude biochemical humans, considering the latter to be products of industrial production.

"I feel that this logic has some validity, as it resonates with humans’ natural tendency to form circles and divide classes from a realistic standpoint.

"Therefore, I personally believe that natural people and unnatural people are unlikely to recognize each other in the future, and the two groups may band together in opposition, ultimately causing societal rift."

Wen Zehan affirmed: "Exactly! The Ghost Lord is also concerned about this."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Mr. Ghost discussed this issue with Miss Jana, and Miss Jana explicitly stated that many powerful civilizations have conducted similar experiments, and without exception, societal division occurred.

"Such division has severe negative impacts on the world’s World Will, leading to a depletion of its power and a series of adverse effects such as reduced probability of ordinary people awakening superpowers.

"As a result, these civilization worlds eventually ceased the experiments, awaiting the aging and death of the unnaturally born population, or even using various methods to eliminate them."

No one said anything.

Everyone had been excited earlier, believing that Great Xia had found a shortcut to increasing the population, but now it seems this is clearly a self-destructive path.

Another researcher asked: "Doesn’t this method have any value at all? I think it’s too wasteful to just give up on it."

Wen Zehan spoke with a hint of amusement: "Of course it has value; otherwise, Mr. Ghost wouldn’t continually research it."

Casually, he provided an example: "For instance, certain rare diseases, especially those caused by genetic mutations, are almost impossible to treat, but using this method to replace a body could fundamentally solve the problem."

The crowd nodded repeatedly.

Yet, someone felt it a pity: "Such powerful secret techniques can be considered revolutionary, but if limited to treating rare diseases, I think it’s a shame."

Supportive voices followed.

"Indeed!"

"I also feel it’s somewhat wasteful."

Wen Zehan quickly stated a shocking idea: "If this could only be used for treating rare diseases, the Ghost Lord wouldn’t put so much effort into it.

"The Lord has a vision to combine this secret technique with soul retrieval methods.

"In the future, if someone dies in battle, teammates can use certain items to retrieve the soul and bring it back.

"But the prerequisite must be warriors, because only warriors have sufficient soul strength; the soul of ordinary superpower users is too easily dispersed and cannot last long."

"Ultimately, using a secret technique to cultivate a new body for the deceased, then re-infusing the retrieved soul into it.

"After resurrection, due to being in a new body, power would diminish significantly, but this isn’t a major issue.

"Because the brain of the resurrected retains complete cultivation experiences, and it wouldn’t take long to retrain to pre-death strength.

"Although Mr. Ghost cannot guarantee a hundred percent resurrection, he and Mr. Spirit Crows have researched together and the probability of resurrection shouldn’t be lower than seventy percent."

The idea was so astonishing that everyone was quite shocked.

"Holy cow!"

"Reviving the dead, the Lord is legendary!"

Providing an opportunity for warriors to rise again is immensely significant.

From the perspective of a civilization world, this is another secret technique that can significantly enhance a civilization’s potential.

If fallen warriors indeed have a seventy percent chance of resurrection, this equates to increasing Canglan Civilization’s warriors by 70%.

On the other hand.

The Superpower Secret Scripture clearly records that superpower users who have gone through life-and-death crises have a greater chance of activating soul potential and higher future limits.

Although every superpower user is aware of this, there are very few willing to take the risk of their life, because "experiencing life-and-death crises" truly involves dying.

But resurrection provides a true experience of life-and-death crises, thus naturally making the potential of everyone revived by this secret technique worth anticipating.

At this moment.

A bespectacled researcher raised a question: "Wen Zehan, those powerful civilization worlds, such as the Venerable Civilization, didn’t they possess similar secret techniques? If they did, such secret techniques should be more widespread, but why have I never heard of them?"

Ultimately, this person doubted whether Mr. Ghost could realistically develop such secret techniques.

Wen Zehan replied: "Your perspective has some validity; resurrection is indeed a matter with tremendous difficulty.

"The powerful civilization worlds have more or less mastered some methods to resurrect the dead, but without exception, they all require a great cost.

"And powerful civilizations are not short of warriors, they are unwilling to pay such a great cost for ordinary warriors."

He took a deep breath and began to speak somewhat vaguely: "The Primordial World contains countless diverse civilization worlds.

"Every civilization has its own opportunities, and Mr. Ghost just happened to have some astonishing encounters, which is why he can attempt things that even powerful civilizations cannot achieve."

The spectacled researcher pushed his glasses and nodded: "Alright, as long as the sample size is large enough, some individuals deemed as miracles can indeed emerge. I also hope the Canglan Civilization possesses such miracles."

Just as everyone was speaking.

The two blood cocoons placed on the experimental platform throbbed with increasingly rapid heartbeats.

Because a light source was arranged nearby, through the illumination of strong light, one could clearly see that within each blood cocoon a body had appeared.

One of the bodies had an alluringly curvy outline, clearly indicating it was a female.

The other body’s frame was flat, making it obvious it was male.

The spectacled researcher glanced at the smart glasses’ display and exclaimed: "In five minutes, the bodies are already seventy to eighty percent complete?! This speed is too fast!"

The others were equally shocked.

Wen Zehan smiled: "This is personally overseen by Mr. Ghost, how could the speed be slow?"

He added: "It is expected that in another thirty seconds, the two honored guests will awaken, everyone should leave, it’s enough to let the Xue Wu Robots stand by here."

After all, one of them is a lady. A group of men watching an unclothed lady, it’s not proper.

Soon enough.

The researchers all withdrew.

The two Xue Wu Robots, each carrying a set of clothes, moved to the side of the blood cocoons and quietly waited.

Thirty seconds later.

The two blood cocoons suddenly swelled, followed by two "crack" sounds, shattering directly.

A large gush of turbid blood water flowed out of the cocoons with a "splash," filling the entire room with a foul stench.

One could see two stark naked bodies lying in the blood water.

It was Eduardo and Zhang Hehua.

No.

Now, it should be called Belinda.

Because she had completely become a white person at the genetic level, making the most resolute break with her past.

The laboratory’s cleaning system immediately began operating automatically.

Accompanied by the "whooshing" of the wind, the air filtration system extracted the stench, bringing in fresh air.

Two mechanical arms descended from the ceiling, spraying warm water to rinse away the blood water from the experimental table, preparing to wash their bodies.

Under the control of the intelligent AI, the mechanical arms gently turned their bodies, not missing a single "hygienic dead-end."

The Xue Wu Robots placed the blood cocoons into sealed garbage bags, and inserted them into the designated waste processing channel.

Soon enough.

The room was restored to a clean and tidy state.

The Xue Wu Robots took large white towels, dried their bodies, dressed them in brand new research clothes, and placed them on the sofa nearby.

After another ten seconds.

"Cough!"

Eduardo suddenly coughed and opened his eyes.

Belinda was a little slower, opening her eyes to look around in confusion.

Eduardo froze for two seconds, then asked, "Where is this place?"

A Xue Wu Robot smiled: "Mr. Eduardo, as promised, Mr. Ghost has sent you and Miss Belinda to the Nan Jing Continent, now demons absolutely have no means to threaten you."

The other Xue Wu Robot interjected: "We are household robots specifically serving you two, also gifts from Great Xia."

Belinda was a bit delighted: "I’ve heard about Xue Wu for a long time, leaving the backward Federation, I finally have a chance to experience the advanced technology of Great Xia."

Eduardo felt a bit embarrassed at his partner’s words, given that he was still nominally the leader of the Federation.

But Xue Wu knew how to steer the conversation, promptly changing the topic: "Miss Belinda, it’s my honor to serve you."

Eduardo remembered something and asked: "Can you get me a mirror? I want to see what I look like now."

Belinda glanced at him and covered her mouth laughing: "Ed, you better not look, because you really look a lot older now."

But Xue Wu still opened the display on its chest, showing the camera image inside.

Eduardo saw his fifty-year-old self, wearing a peculiar expression.

He touched the wrinkles on his forehead and couldn’t help but sigh: "Things obtained out of thin air will eventually be lost, maybe this is fate."
