Deducing Godhood from the Fetal Stage

Chapter 95 Agreement

Inspector Zhou's pupils were fixed on that word.

God.

She has been conducting early childhood potential assessments for over 300 years, assigning grades such as A, A+, S, S+, and SS.

She wrote every report by hand at every level.

There are countless geniuses, even those who have achieved SSS+ twice.

However, she had never even once lit up the "God" level, which was at the very bottom of the entire evaluation system's drop-down menu.

Because in the history of human civilization, there is only one kind of soul that can make this word light up.

The innate Dao body.

A humanoid soul.

This is a true treasure that human civilization has won through history, guns, and blood.

Her hands began to tremble, not just a slight tremor, but an uncontrollable spasm of muscles running from her fingertips to her wrists.

Calm down. Calm down.

She took a deep breath, pulled out a mood stabilizer from her pocket, unscrewed it, filled half the vial, and forced her fingers to stay still.

The cool medicine slid down my throat, forcibly suppressing the overactive sympathetic nervous system.

My hands have stopped shaking.

She then quickly typed a line of text on the terminal: [B3-03 Detection Room, God-level Soul Confirmed, Requesting Highest Authority Access.]

send.

I waited five seconds. There was no reply.

She sent it again.

Still no reply.

Inspector Zhou was sweating profusely. Director Qiu usually replied in under three seconds; what was wrong with him today? *Ding!*

The terminal lit up briefly.

[Coming soon.]

Three words.

She finally calmed her heart, which had been pounding in her throat, and turned to look at the quiet baby on the stone platform.

He was looking down at his little hands, as if studying something interesting, completely unaware of the huge earthquake he had just caused.

"Little Jiang Yun."

The testing officer, Ms. Zhou, knelt down, her voice as gentle as if she were coaxing her own grandson, "The test is over. How about Auntie takes you to find your family?"

Jiang Yun looked up at her and could see her surprise, shock, and even a trace of panic, as well as the calmness brought about by forcibly taking drugs due to professional ethics.

My grandfather said this place is the safest, so you can confidently get certified here.

He nodded, extended his hand, and gestured for the other person to lead him down.

Waiting area outside.

Jiang Ren was pacing back and forth outside the door when he saw the side door open and immediately went to greet him.

"Ah-Yun, Jia-Jia! How are you?"

"That's fine."

Jiang Chong reached out his little hand and was picked up by her, leaning against her shoulder.

"Parent, Jiajia is still inside having her destiny analyzed, while your Jiang Yun—"

Inspector Zhou followed behind and gave Jiang Ren a congratulatory smile: "Because the evaluation results are rather special, our center's head needs to personally handle the follow-up procedures. Please wait a moment."

Jiang Ren was taken aback.

The person in charge will personally handle the matter?

However, a look of realization immediately appeared on his face.

She wasn't unaware of who Jiang Yun was.

Lingjiu had explained before going into seclusion that Ayun was a naturally born Daoist body, and that he possessed great wisdom.

"It must have alarmed some high-ranking officials. That's fine."

She didn't show any sign of surprise, and simply nodded: "Okay, we'll wait."

The testing officer responded and turned to coordinate the testing process for the other children.

About three minutes later.

Steady footsteps echoed from the end of the corridor.

A middle-aged man strode over, wearing a dark gray uniform jacket with a gold badge of the Imperial Genius Protection Center pinned to his chest.

Jiang Yun's Butterfly God's Eye passively activated [???]

Six terms could not be identified.

However, there's no need for identification at all, because it's written on the name tag.

【Qiu Mian】

[Position: Director of Dixing Testing Center]

Qiu Mian walked closer, his gaze first falling on Jiang Ren, and he nodded slightly in greeting.

Meanwhile, Inspector Zhou was whispering something in his ear.

As Qiu Mian listened, his pupils shrank involuntarily.

But he quickly calmed down, said nothing, and simply took out a square token from his pocket and lightly swiped it in the air.

The wall at the end of the corridor cracked silently, revealing a hidden passage.

"this----"

He glanced at the documents in his hand. "Ms. Jiang, would it be convenient for us to go inside and discuss this? It involves the highest level of genius protection agreement, which requires the presence of a guardian for confirmation."

Jiang Ren hugged the child tightly: "His parents are currently in seclusion, his maternal grandfather is on a mission in the army, and his paternal grandparents have passed away. I am his temporary guardian."

"Understood." Qiu Mian nodded, then stepped aside and gestured for him to follow. "The temporary guardian has full signing authority. Please come with me."

Encrypted office.

The spirit pattern isolation layer, the signal shielding array, and the causal shielding runes provide triple protection.

Qiu Mian personally brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for Jiang Ren, and then took out a box of baby fruit puree and placed it on the table in front of Jiang Yun.

"Let's get to the conclusion first." He sat down, placed his hands on the table, and said in a calm but solemn tone, "Jiang Yun's life soul rating is—God-level."

After he finished speaking, he paused and looked at Jiang Ren.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ren's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it and simply nodded to indicate that he understood.

"My family told me about it, which is why I brought him here for certification."

Qiu Mian remained silent for two seconds, seemingly wondering whether these parents truly trusted her or were simply too trusting.

He then nodded: "Then I'll skip the preamble and go straight to the coverage details."

He turned on the holographic projection on the table, and a densely packed agreement floated in the air.

"A divine-level life soul has triggered the Empire's Level 3 Protection Agreement. Specific terms are as follows."

"First, activate the 'Return to Heaven Mystery Instrument' permission."

Jiang Ren nodded, indicating that he had heard of this thing.

However, all that is known is that it is a guarantee provided by the empire to truly core geniuses, but the specific function is unknown.

"The Empire's highest-level life support device."

Qiu Mian's voice was deep, "It is built on the foundation of His Majesty Dao Lord's Daoist practice of 'Mending the Heaven's Gap'. It can restore life and bring the holder back to life after suffering fatal injuries."

Jiang Ren couldn't help but gasp.

Bring back to life?

She thought that the cheat she had obtained with her S-rank life soul, which allowed her to forcibly enter the void and be invincible for an hour, was already incredibly powerful.

"What if we're targeted and deliberately hunted down?" She instinctively tightened her grip on the child in her arms.

"Good question." Qiu Mian changed the subject, his gaze falling on Jiang Yun. "His life can be saved, but the cultivation and characteristics that were taken away cannot be recovered. He can only start training from scratch."

"What's even more deadly is that a near-death experience leaves an irreversible crack in one's character."

His voice lowered slightly: "Of the more than four thousand geniuses it has saved in the past ten thousand years, less than thirty percent have been able to rise again."

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Jiang Yun leaned against Jiang Ren's chest, her face showing a bewildered expression befitting her age, but her mind was racing.

The Heavenly Resurrection Instrument. Resurrected from the dead, rising anew.

Ling Caixin's Daoist practice of "Mending the Sky" has created the Heavenly Mysterious Brightness Instrument, which covers all Level 3 protected objects.

It seems that the Empire prefers to protect its talents through "tests" rather than direct, close protection.

Let these future seeds develop and face risks on their own. The meaning is clear: guaranteeing you once is an investment, but whether you can rise again depends on your own abilities.

On the day he was born, Ling Caixin had also used the "Mending the Sky" technique to protect him.

Can two resurrection armors overlap?

For him, a descendant of the Dao Lord, is this protection "the love of ancestors for their descendants" or "the empire's investment in strategic resources"?

He made a mental note of it, without dwelling on it. Regardless of the motive, any benefit received should be reciprocated.

Qiu Mian noticed that in Jiang Yun's dark eyes, there was no confusion like that of an infant; instead, it seemed as if she was pondering some profound question.

He flipped through the documents in his hand—

Dao Hui gets full marks.

As the director of the testing center who has served for over a thousand years, no one at this level understands the innate Dao body better than him.

The innate Dao body is divided into three types: full of Qi, full of wisdom, and full of strength. At two months old, it is absolutely impossible for the full Qi and full strength types to show this level of understanding.

Therefore, there is only one answer: Manhui Daoti.

Historically, all the Daoist geniuses of the Manhui level were able to understand their mothers' behavior and the speech of outsiders as soon as their "brain" developed in the womb, and even cultivate alongside their mothers while still in the womb.

Once you land, you'll understand many things; once your body adapts, you can walk and talk.

In other words, the child can fully understand what he is saying.

Qiu Mian subtly adjusted his way of speaking, no longer only addressing Jiang Ren, but also taking into account Jiang Yun's direction.

But his tone remained gentle, as one would expect from a child.

"Secondly, external rating protection," he continued. "Your public files will only be marked as A-level. This is a uniform protective measure for talents at the A-level and above, and it's not specifically targeted at you."

"As a human-shaped soul, the innate Dao body has no outward manifestation of its soul form, making it the easiest type to hide. As long as one does not actively reveal it or participate in testing, the characteristics of the Dao body are generally difficult to detect."

Jiang Ren nodded vigorously: "Understood."

"third,"

Qiu Mian stood up and walked to the wall at the very back of the office.

He took the gold badge from his chest and pressed it into a groove in the center of the wall.

"Click."

A dull mechanical sound rang out. The entire wall rippled like water, revealing a three-meter-high stone door.

The facade is engraved with dazzlingly intricate spiritual patterns, each line glowing faintly like living blood vessels.

"This is the connection point between the highest heaven and the material world."

Qiu Mian turned around.

"It is also the core of the Empire's system for protecting and passing on geniuses, the Hall of Fire Transmission."

He looked at Jiang Yun.

"And you will face the true powerhouses of this universe, or rather, the gods. In doing so, you will receive a blessing, protection, or inheritance from an existence above the highest heavens."

After he finished speaking, his tone subtly changed.

"But before that, I need to explain something."

"The protection agreement was granted by the Empire, and the Empire also needs something from you in return."
