Chapter 1261: The Overturned Truth

Beneath the tranquil spiritual energy core, only Lin An's frantically beating heart and the sound of two people's breathing could be heard.

He understood; after hearing Chu An continuously throw out several concepts, he grasped what the resulting logic was.

The Hua'an Project and the Long'an Project are fundamentally not technological means.

Both are simulations? Utilizations? The 【Yellow Millet Dream】 supernatural incident is creating powerful individuals!

It's hard to imagine, but a supernatural incident has actually become a means for the military to produce super soldiers!

Seeing Lin An understand his meaning, Chu An nodded in relief.

"Yes."

"After I cracked the 【Yellow Millet Dream】, I realized this supernatural incident is in a state of not being fully activated."

"Because the Apocalypse hasn't been triggered, its energy is insufficient."

"Not only that."

"It also possesses the possibilities of light slumber (low difficulty) and multiple invasions (infinite dreams)."

"When humans enter the 【Yellow Millet Dream】, they have many opportunities to experience its internal rules; they die, also because bodily functions exhaust and the mind collapses."

"When bodily functions exhaust, we can replenish bodily energy with high‑nutrient fluid—that's why you were intubated in the Long'an Project."

"When the mind collapses, strong will is needed to resist, and we must quickly forget the dream's content to prevent information overload from blowing our thoughts apart."

"This is why we keep forgetting."

"In summary, the first batch of test subjects learned combat skills and consciousness for various extreme situations through this method, continually."

"This is the first goal: combat instinct."

"You should understand that some things, once learned, are etched into your bones even if you don't remember them."

"The capacity of human genes to carry information far exceeds that of memory!"

"Just like learning to ride a bike—even if you haven't ridden for over a decade, as soon as you touch it again, instinct will let you ride."

"The second goal: absorb the supernatural incident's rules, strengthen will, and gain combat power surpassing human limits!"

"Just as those near vermilion become red, those near ink become black."

"Repeatedly experiencing the rules of the supernatural incident, we will more or less acquire its traits."

"Of course, this requires a lengthy process, just like evolution."

"Just like muscle training—each time we tear the muscle (will), the next muscle (will) becomes stronger."

"When willpower strength can break through and even become immune to the supernatural incident's lethal threshold, we can then turn around and control it!"

"Just like a virus infecting a computer program!"

"At this point, Chu An suddenly shook his head."

"However, we got this point wrong."

"It's not that we can't do it; the difficulty is just too high."

"In the first Hua'an Project, we thought that as long as we entered the 【dream】 enough times and pushed willpower to the limit, we could control the supernatural incident and obtain its rules. But in reality, we underestimated the required willpower strength."

"Now it seems that, to obtain the rules of the 【Yellow Millet Dream】 through this method, the required willpower strength must at least reach the peak of the Third Stage, even the Fourth Stage..."

"Moreover, the upper limit of willpower strength is determined by the physical body."

"If the physical body isn't strong enough, willpower strength cannot be increased."

"For this, we have tried many means."

"Technological transformation of the body, bone strengthening, even modifying brain structure, unlocking gene locks..."

"But these... are not enough, far from enough."

"Chu An let out a human‑like sigh and lightly lifted his glasses frame."

"Under the azure‑blue spiritual energy core, the glasses frame reflected Lin An's pupils suddenly contracting."

"Taking a deep breath, Lin An at this moment faintly guessed why Chu An had never mentioned... the reason for releasing the Alien Species.."

"Moreover, looking at the mechanical‑seeming Chu An before him, a terrible guess flashed through his mind."

"Since Chu An, who single‑handedly led the Hua'an Project, has tried so many methods and they all failed.."

"Then, as the project's leader, Chu An certainly wouldn't resign himself to defeat."

"In Chu An's words, they've even tried bodily modifications, so naturally they also have reason.. to attempt depriving emotion!"

"Chu An, perhaps he is the ultimate product of the Hua'an Project!?"

"Unwilling to accept failure, he tried to remodel himself, throwing himself into the 【Yellow Millet Dream】 to try to grasp the power of its rules!?"

"With a mortal body before the Apocalypse, to become Fourth Stage!?"

"So is he a success or a failure?"

"Success, it's possible!"

"Chu An's ability is so bizarre; with no one knowing his true strength, he might truly be Fourth Stage!"

"Having tasted the benefits, there's also ample reason to push forward the Long'an Project!"

"Failure, it's also possible."

"Precisely because he failed, Chu An can realize what he in the Long'an Project actually represents."

"Breathing became hurried."

"In an instant, Lin An could feel a mighty, repressed killing intent suddenly surge within him, fixedly staring at Chu An."

"That is the Second Will!"

"No matter which possibility you consider, Chu An counts as the mastermind behind the Long'an Project!"

"The difference lies in whether he is the person who came out from behind the door!"

"As for the Second Will, he hates every person in the Long'an Project, and regards the one who altered the test content as an eternal mortal enemy!"

"Apparently sensing the hidden killing intent locked onto him, Chu An continued to gaze calmly into his eyes:"

No.

The Long'an Project was indeed my proposal, but I merely offered other alternatives.

I did not follow up on the subsequent experimental content.

Actually, there are some things you might not want to know.

Abrupt.

As if conversing with the Second Will, in an instant the Second Will that suddenly popped up in Lin An's thoughts jolted, apparently not expecting Chu An to explain it like that.

Don't want to know?

Without waiting for the Second Will to think, Chu An spoke again.

Lin An, what I'm about to say is why I released the Alien Species behind the door.

To be precise, I reached a deal with them.

As previously mentioned, we realized the Hua'an Project would fail because the test subjects' physical strength was insufficient.

In other words, as long as the physical strength is sufficient, we can create a powerful Rule Body.

Thus, I inadvertently came into contact with the bronze door beneath the capital; the existence behind the door told me it could solve this problem for me.

The price is that I need to open a gap for them...

While speaking, Chu An's face flickered with a semblance of human guilt.

At that time the Apocalypse had not yet broken out.

I could feel that even opening a gap, they could not come out; precisely, their reason then was to beg us to provide them with some of the energy they needed.

Just like air, when the door opens a crack, the person inside who is about to suffocate can breathe...

One is to create a perfect warrior who masters the rules; the other is a seemingly friendly life that saves another world.

After the entire High Level discussed it, we passed this proposal.

Of course, to prevent them from deceiving us, we also deliberately sealed the bronze door outside, using some relics left by the survivors.

Speaking of this, Chu An let out a sigh.

It seemed he was somewhat 'reluctant' to utter the final sentence.

Lin An, with your thinking ability, you should have understood what I'm saying...

Right?

His whole body trembled.

After Chu An mentioned that deal, Lin An froze in place.

There was no other reason.

He knew exactly what Chu An wanted to say, why he told himself he had released the Alien Species.

Under the azure light, Lin An found it hard to accept looking at his own hands, his whole body trembling uncontrollably; unable to control his emotions, streams of terrifying aura shot out in all directions.

No..

How is this possible.. How is this possible!!!

At the same time, the Second Will in his thoughts suddenly changed expression; in that instant he also realized the truth he had thought he knew, which now completely collapsed.

Lin An.

It is an Alien Species.

So-called mutation is merely the manifestation of the true form.

White bone snake head...

White bone monster.....

The first one 'parasitized' by the Alien Species was himself.
