Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2304 Mystical Heredity

It's an unfounded association, but quite interesting.

I remember the earliest star map came from another world, a find from a trip to a haunted house.

Judging from the various signs that followed, there is every reason to suspect that it belonged to the legacy of the predecessors.

For example, with the help of Chief Scientist and the staff of the archives, they successfully located a coordinate in the Ash Sea.

However, due to time constraints last time, we didn't explore further after finding the solar-powered whale.

Of course, based solely on these aspects, it seems difficult to say that there is any direct connection to the Upside-Down Lake that the cast mentioned, which cannot be found.

But what if there is contact?
Making good use of logic doesn't mean purely linear thinking; the fun of deducing by freely combining elements is also part of it.

If the coordinates you obtained early on are indeed related to the past academy tragedy, what does that mean?
Was the warehouse involved in that incident? Or was it simply the subjective action of a senior colleague who had previously gained something from that place?

Either way, it feels very interesting.

If it were such a coincidence, it seems that not rushing there at the time would have been a better choice.

The high level of danger effectively buys you time to gather more information, improve yourself, and explore with specific questions in mind, which makes it easier to gain more insights.

In short, we could definitely consider making that our first stop – after all, the cast doesn't have any specific goals to offer.

Looking at the hand-drawn map in front of him, Fu Qian couldn't help but sigh that his earlier speculation was indeed correct. The old man had really taken advantage of the scientific expedition and spent a lot of time on it.

With just a few strokes, the outline of the Ash Sea was clearly drawn, along with the areas that had been explored. Fu Qian still had a general idea of ​​how vast the Ash Sea was.

It's obvious that the cast used some special methods, otherwise the coverage wouldn't be so exaggerated.

Just how outrageous is it? — I'm absolutely certain that it includes the coordinates I've never explored before.

"So even so, you still firmly believe it's located in the Ash Sea?"

Of course, there was no sense of frustration; on the contrary, the experience was even more wonderful. Before paying, I smiled and confirmed with the cast.

"I believe you, but it's a pity that I didn't see the crystal blessing you just mentioned at all."

The cast responded without hesitation.

"What about Kalaudora? When she escaped back, she shouldn't have looked like this yet?"

Although that person's experience is regrettable, Fu Qian does not believe that someone of the dean's stature needs to avoid talking about it.

"Unfortunately, it's not quite there yet. It is indeed more human-like than it is now, but its flesh and blood are clearly in a special state of being out of control, and its will is almost completely chaotic."

As expected, the cast member shook his head slightly and answered quickly as before.

"However, I think I've found the reason why she was able to attain divinity. Thank you for sharing. I will try to interpret the meaning of crystallization later."

Clearly aware of the value of the information provided by Fu Qian, he even expressed his gratitude earnestly.

"You're welcome. Speaking of which, I happen to have something I'd like to ask you."

They not only say "don't be polite," but also put it into action before and even the next moment.

"Regarding the royal family of Laria, or other extraordinary matters involving bloodline inheritance, Professor Lisa mentioned that you have different opinions on the decisive factors involved, speculating that they may be more abstract than ordinary bloodline inheritance?"

"Furthermore, using a cultivation system like the Sword Academy as a reference is, in my opinion, a very constructive idea." ...

The project has been in the works for some time now, and I even mentioned last time that I would consult with the cast, but we've all been so busy lately that we haven't had much time to chat.

We happened to be discussing some technical topics today, so I brought it up without delay before payment.

"Oh? It seems you feel the same way... Yes, a fragile thread, so fragile that one might even doubt its very existence..."

"But it is also resilient; even if it is ravaged and burned, it is still difficult to cut."

The cast seemed quite pleased that Fu Qian had this curiosity, and then let out a soft sigh.

“I do agree. So what are the possible abstract factors that you tend to consider beyond conventional understanding?”
As expected of an academic leader, some of his thoughts and feelings could only be derived from being there in person, and Fu Qianyi also expressed his deep agreement and began a serious discussion.

"You remember it quite clearly."

Strictly speaking, what Fu mentioned earlier was somewhat like betraying Professor Lisa.

After all, the value of innovative ideas in scientific research is well known.

However, after hearing his explanation, Cast laughed heartily, appearing to be in an even better mood.

"I remember it quite clearly" certainly doesn't refer to Fu Qian. It seems that when he told Lisa about some of his own whimsical ideas, she was rather dismissive of them.

“Actually, choosing the cultivation path was also out of necessity. There are too few samples of innate superpowers. For example, the Laria family you mentioned, there might not be anyone showing extraordinary talent in an entire generation. It would be too difficult to summarize the patterns from them…”

However, they only digressed slightly, and the cast quickly got into character, explaining why they were more interested in the Academy of Swords.

"In comparison, cultivation can better uncover some potential talents, especially for groups that have inherited some cultivation methods, thus minimizing the influence of chance—of course, your assistant is an exception, as are she and her family."

This naturally refers to Liu Shuang and the Ji family, and there's nothing wrong with that.

In Fu Qian's opinion, apart from Ji Liushuang, if any other members of the Ji family came to the academy for further studies, they should obviously be classified as Tianqi.

"But there is also a very noteworthy exception, in terms of the form of their abilities and the proportion of those who possess them."

While expressing agreement, Fu Qian also offered his own thoughts.

"Gray Fall? It is indeed a special power... Anyway, you are right. The reason I suspect the existence of some more abstract factor is to investigate why there is a break in the lineage of extraordinary families with a tradition."

After a moment's thought, the cast members also highly approved of Liu Shuang's background.

The question that followed was undoubtedly the core of the research topic.

The idea that extraordinary individuals undergo physical transformation, enabling them to give birth to special offspring, aligns fairly well with intuitive understanding.

But what if there are no special offspring, and after several generations, non-human beings emerge?

Recessive inheritance, gene mutation?

It still feels a bit far-fetched.

"Over the years, I have indeed collected many cases for cross-referencing, but unfortunately, it seems that I have excluded all factors."

While they were quietly commenting, the conclusions given by the other cast members made the issue even more perplexing.
