Chapter 394

Jie Ming and Anya quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

They took out imprisonment crystals mixed with spatial stabilization runes and energy suppression materials, and carefully guided and sealed the light-cluster elemental creatures that had lost combat effectiveness but still had spirituality into them.

For the Tier 6 light cluster lord that was firmly controlled by the Black Giant priest, Jie Ming was even more cautious, first having Anya apply several layers of life activity suppression and soul soothing witchcraft, then wrapping it layer by layer with the highest specification multiple energy restraint array, and finally putting it into an imprisonment box with a weak time-slowing effect constant inside.

After the two Black Giant priests completed the mission, they turned into black shadows and returned to Jie Ming's internal cave to wait for orders.

Just after initially processing all the "trophies" and before having time to catch their breath, Wizard Star Fall's plane communication carrying irrepressible excitement poured into the two people's minds again:

"Well done! I saw it all! The sample integrity exceeded expectations! Don't clean up, I'll bring you back directly!"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Jie Ming and Anya to respond, a huge and gentle plane force descended.

The surrounding scene blurred and rotated like an oil painting washed by water, and the slight weightlessness unique to spatial transfer came.

The next moment, the light faded, and they were already standing on the floor of Wizard Star Fall's silver-white metal hall.

All the sealed light cluster creatures were floating neatly around, including the most important imprisonment box.

Wizard Star Fall was standing not far away, but seeing her state, Jie Ming was slightly stunned.

This Tier 6 wizard, who was a bit disheveled before, although her appearance hadn't changed much, her entire mental aura was like a torch that had been lit.

The excited light burning in her eyes was almost substantial, the smile on the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears, and her hands were rubbing unconsciously, revealing a joy like a child getting their favorite toy.

"Wizard Star Fall, you are..." Jie Ming was somewhat puzzled.

Although successfully capturing alive the Tier 6 creation that tried to resist was a research achievement worth being happy about, this level of excitement seemed a bit too much?

"Hehe, come with me! Show you a bigger surprise!"

Wizard Star Fall didn't answer directly, but waved her hand mysteriously, and those floating light cluster sealed objects automatically lined up and floated behind her toward the depths of the laboratory.

She beckoned vigorously to Jie Ming and Anya at the same time, signaling them to follow.

With curiosity, Jie Ming and Anya followed Star Fall through several bright corridors and came to a larger experimental area.

Looking at the scene here, Jie Ming instantly understood why Star Fall was so excited.

The experimental area was brightly lit, and various large analysis instruments and energy restraint devices were running.

Sister Wei Ao was already here, commanding several automatic puppets and energy tentacles, dealing with another batch of "trophies"—not light cluster elemental creatures, but piles of dark brown "Demon-Devouring Vines" that were tightly bound by tough energy and still wriggling slightly!

The scale of these activated plants was also not small, and among them was even a plant emitting energy fluctuations close to Tier 5, obviously also an elite or leader-level unit in the clan.

"Did you see it?! Not just those little light clusters!" Wizard Star Fall rushed to the captured Demon-Devouring Vines in one step, dancing and flushed, her voice somewhat distorted by excitement.

"These vines! Another batch of my 'children'! They are the same! They also planned to bite back at me, their 'creator'! Hahahaha!"

She pointed to those bound Demon-Devouring Vines, and then pointed to the light cluster sealed objects just brought, her speech fast with excitement:

"What's even better is! According to the mental fluctuation fragments intercepted and analyzed by Sister Wei Ao, and my monitoring backtracking during this period... these two sides! These two deadly enemies who were fighting each other to death! They actually had contact in secret! Reached some kind of fragile alliance against us 'creators'!"

Wizard Star Fall's eyes were frighteningly bright: "The big light cluster underground made such a big movement, on one hand, it was indeed trying to catalyze a high-end combat power that could resist us, but on the other hand, it was also a bait! A carefully designed bait!"

"They calculated that we would be curious or vigilant about this abnormal energy gathering, and would most likely send people or go to investigate personally! Their real killer move was the assault team composed of these vine elites, trying to take the opportunity to sneak attack and destroy the creator's core laboratory!"

She took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her overly excited mood, but the effect was minimal: "Resistance consciousness! Realizing the fate of being 'created'! Secret collusion between deadly enemies! Tactical planning of feinting in the east and attacking in the west! This is no longer simple 'spirituality', this is intelligent thinking mode, social game ability, and strategic vision!"

Jie Ming listened to Wizard Star Fall's excited exposition, and waves gradually rose in his heart.

He fully understood why the other party was so excited.

Having resistance consciousness is not strange for life.

But being able to deduce the existence concept of "creator" from various situations that happened recently, and it's not awe, but planning to resist, this itself means that their cognitive system has transcended instinct and simple survival needs, touching the thinking of "source of existence".

This requires quite high abstract thinking and logical reasoning ability.

And on this basis, two races that were born not long ago and were engaged in a tragic war with each other, could actually temporarily put aside hatred, identify that "creator" might be a bigger common threat, and try to conduct secret communication and formulate joint action plans...

The intelligence level, risk assessment ability, and potential to execute complex strategies shown were quite amazing.

This was definitely not a behavior pattern that could be guided by those incomplete knowledge fragments that Wizard Star Fall leaked unintentionally during "animation".

It could only explain one thing: the "Ignition of Intelligence" performed by Wizard Star Fall using "imaginary elements" and her "spirituality" law research had effects far beyond endowing basic intelligence.

She successfully implanted "seeds of wisdom" capable of self-learning, evolution, and developing complex sociality and strategic thinking in these elemental and plant lives!

She truly created prototypes of intelligent life with independent civilization potential!

It meant that the "spirituality" law path she was exploring was not only correct but also had an infinitely broad prospect!

This kind of milestone breakthrough was enough to make any researcher ecstatic.

Watching Wizard Star Fall rush to a large analysis instrument like a child getting a new toy, starting to operate personally, and preparing to perform deeper soul scanning and memory extraction on the captives, Jie Ming couldn't help but marvel.

At this time, Sister Wei Ao paced over from the side, patted Jie Ming on the shoulder, with a trace of pride on her face: "How about it, Jie Ming? Is this 'technical exchange' trip much more 'exciting' than you expected?"

"Witnessed the most successful 'work' of our Great Wizard Star Fall, and personally participated in a unique 'Anti-Creator Joint Action' suppression battle, quite a harvest, right?"

Jie Ming looked at Sister Wei Ao, nodded sincerely, and there was excitement and expectation deep in his eyes: "Indeed, I 'earned' a lot. Wizard Star Fall's research results are shocking. I am now very much looking forward to the next formal 'exchange' session."

Sister Wei Ao chuckled, pointed to Star Fall who was already immersed in research, then pointed to Anya who was resting on the other side, and the "precious samples" all over the laboratory:

"Don't worry, with so many 'materials' and 'cases', the next exchange will definitely make you 'return fully loaded'. But for now... let our 'creator' lord enjoy the joy of her harvest."

Jie Ming followed her gaze and saw Wizard Star Fall laughing "Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie" at the "joint conspiracy" memory fragments remaining in the souls of those captives initially scanned.

That appearance was very much like some villainous scientists in stories.

The silver door of the high tower laboratory closed slowly behind him, isolating the observation light screen that was still flickering inside, and the excited humming of Sister Wei Ao who was unconsciously immersed in the ocean of data.

Jie Ming stood in the corridor leading to the teleportation array, sighed lightly, but his face carried a complex expression mixed with satisfaction, fatigue, and unfinished business.

More than ten years.

This "short-term technical exchange" that was originally planned to be only a few months or even a few weeks, because of the endless new discoveries, new ideas, and the explosive breakthrough of Wizard Star Fall's "spirituality" law research on both sides, was forcibly extended to more than ten years.

Now, it was finally time to say goodbye.

On the platform where the teleportation array was located, Wizard Star Fall rarely came to see him off personally.

She looked a bit more unkempt than ten years ago, but those eyes were brighter and deeper, as if countless stars of wisdom were flowing in them.

She patted Jie Ming on the shoulder vigorously, almost making Jie Ming, who was unprepared, stagger, and her tone was full of expectation and reluctance:

"Leaving? Really not staying for a few more years? I always feel that we have just touched the edge of the topic of 'progressive rewriting of the underlying logic of the material plane by group spiritual resonance'!"

Jie Ming stabilized his figure and sighed helplessly: "Wizard Star Fall, if I stay any longer, I'm afraid my 'imaginary element' inventory and brain processor will burn out together. The knowledge density and experimental rhythm here are really... too fulfilling."

Wizard Star Fall heard this, but her eyes became brighter, leaned closer, and lowered her voice: "Speaking of imaginary elements, Jie Ming, Sister Wei Ao and I have a new model recently! As long as you can stably supply enough huge and pure imaginary elements, and cooperate with my perfected 'spirituality ignition' and 'law contagion' technology... we might be able to try..."

She paused, seemingly looking for the most shocking vocabulary, and then said word by word: "Activate the entire plane!"
