Chapter 1641: Bloodline Sequencing Project

At the same time, Aoerdelin in the venue also gave a definitive answer: "Of course there is a way to change the bloodline sequence of an ordinary person; otherwise, where would the first batch of Bloodline Sorcerers have been born from?"

"Is Jilan Tower capable of artificially creating Bloodline Sorcerers now?" the Intermediate Mage from just a moment ago immediately asked.

"This—"

The expression on Aoerdelin's face suddenly stiffened, and he stammered: "Jilan Tower is of course capable of artificially creating Bloodline Sorcerers, it is just that the conditions are extremely harsh and very difficult to replicate."

"Could Mage Aoerdelin tell us exactly what conditions are required?" the Intermediate Mage asked again, unwilling to give up.

Besides this Intermediate Mage, many others in the venue also cast expectant gazes toward Aoerdelin. Aoerdelin took a deep breath, suppressing the displeasure in his heart, yet he did not make things up, instead saying truthfully:

"The simplest method to artificially create a Bloodline Sorcerer is for your parents or ancestors to possess a special bloodline; wouldn't you have it then? If you have it, wouldn't your descendants have it too?"

"..."

The venue suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and a few High Mages could not help but laugh out loud.

But Aoerdelin still continued with an expressionless face: "If neither your parents nor ancestors have any special bloodline, and you want to obtain one yourself, then it is not easy.

"Perhaps accidentally coming into contact with some magical Gemstone, or eating some magical herb, or even being struck by lightning, burned by fire, or drowned in water, could all potentially awaken a bloodline.

"This is also the important reason why Jilan Tower believes that a bloodline is a basic characteristic of a living being. It appears to be triggered by external forces, but it can also be considered as something one already possesses, only it is in a recessive state and awakens and manifests after being stimulated.

"If you want to awaken a special bloodline, I can recommend you join Jilan Tower's Bloodline Sequencing Project; we are currently lacking volunteers who will cooperate actively!"

After speaking, Aoerdelin cast a meaningful glance at that Intermediate Mage, and the Intermediate Mage immediately shrank back, no longer asking questions indiscriminately.

It was just that even if the Intermediate Mage did not ask, there would naturally be other High Mages, or even Arcanists, interested in bloodline research who would ask.

Even Wozi, who had already spoken on stage just now, was quite interested in this. Of course, there was already a frontrunner in the Bloodline Domain, and he was merely satisfying his own curiosity; opportunities like today were rare.

"Mage Aoerdelin, most of those present today belong to the Seven Towers. You just mentioned Jilan Tower's Bloodline Sequencing Project; could you tell us about it in detail?"

"Of course I can."

Since a High Mage had spoken, Aoerdelin naturally would not keep a stiff face anymore. Exchanges between the Seven Towers had long existed, but not everyone was interested in the research of other towers, nor was everyone knowledgeable about the research of other towers.

With Lord Xia Duo present today, Aoerdelin did not mind showing off a bit. Before coming, he and several other High Mages from Jilan Tower had been specifically instructed by their superiors that Lord Xia Duo was also a Bloodline User, and if possible, they should try to demonstrate the advantages of Jilan Tower to attract the other party to join.

Otherwise, he would not have said things like "I will tell you everything I know." One must know that even within Jilan Tower, not just anyone could know about the Bloodline Sequencing Project.

At least one had to be a High Mage like him who had the opportunity to advance to an Advanced Arcanist to have the Permission Level to know.

"I just mentioned that Jilan Tower believes that a bloodline is merely a basic characteristic of a living being, even closer to the essence than fingerprints or appearance. We call the smallest unit containing all bloodline information a 【Sequence】."

"The so-called 'Bloodline Sequencing Project' is to measure all the information of the smallest unit of the bloodline and study its relationship with biological characteristics."

"If this project can be completed, everyone will have the opportunity to awaken a special bloodline, and further, write the existing Magic system into the bloodline. Even if the entire race encounters misfortune, as long as one person is alive, there is still a chance for revival!"

The venue fell into silence once again, but this time it was not laughter, but shock.

At this moment, regardless of whether they knew the inside story of the Bloodline Sequencing Project beforehand, everyone present could not help but feel shocked by such a grand project of Jilan Tower.

And in the Xiu Xi Shi, Xia Duo was also very surprised. If the mention of 【Sequence】 just now had the shadow of genetic theory from Earth, then this "Bloodline Sequencing Project" was almost the Human Genome Project from Earth.

Xia Duo knew that this world did not have things like "atoms." Once matter was subdivided to a certain degree, it would enter the elemental domain, and all matter was aggregated and transformed from the four great elements.

However, he had always intentionally or unintentionally ignored that it was entirely possible for this world to form structures similar to "molecules." After all, that size had not yet reached the level of touching the origin of matter.

Xia Duo did not doubt that Jilan Tower's Bloodline Sequencing Project could be completed through non-spell forms. There were no spells on Earth, and they still completed the seemingly impossible Genome Project.

Of course, as the manifestation of rules, spells could certainly play a very strong positive role when used in research.

Xia Duo remembered that the Genome Project on Earth was a joint effort by multiple countries, and it took thousands of scientists more than a decade to complete, and that was not even the most perfect version.

And in this Magic world, with the help of spells, Jilan Tower's Bloodline Sequencing Project might not require that many man-hours to complete.

Of course, the premise was to have a clear plan for the research, or rather, it could only be completed under the guidance of the correct methodology.

Otherwise, if one just messed around randomly, it would be very difficult to complete.

For a time, Xia Duo developed a strong interest in this project of Jilan Tower. This project and his universal education plan, just from the perspective of their goals, almost coincided, and even went a step further.

Writing Magic into the bloodline—this was something Xia Duo had not thought of.

But it did not matter; he knew it now, didn't he!

He could even start a Bloodline Sequencing Project led by the Tower of Time.

It was just a pity that most Bloodline Users in Netheril were either undiscovered or had joined Jilan Tower. There were too few left for Xia Duo, and even if he wanted to carry out a Bloodline Sequencing Project, he did not have enough research subjects.

Not to mention, he was still completely clueless about how to conduct bloodline sequencing.

Do not be fooled by Aoerdelin seemingly revealing the Bloodline Sequencing Project without reservation at the exchange meeting; when it came to the specific implementation steps of the project, let alone whether he knew them, even if he did, it would be impossible to say them so easily.

Xia Duo admitted that his appetite had been whetted, but he was not in a hurry. Although the Bloodline Sequencing Project had great strategic significance, it could not play any role in the current situation, so it was better to let Jilan Tower pave the way first.
