Chapter 530: Artificial Human

"Let's split up and look for people first; I want to go to a place to verify something."

Ying Duo suggested that, aside from Mu Lingxiao, whom he has bound and is highly likely to appear in this storyline, everyone else can basically act freely.

But the place he wants to go to may only be accessible to him, so he can only ask others to look for a few key plot NPCs first.

If this point in time is still relatively early, perhaps the files in that human experiment lab will be more intact.

The lab housing the Air Train Design Draft is some distance from that human experiment lab; perhaps at this time they haven't even discovered the human experiment lab.

Yang Yixie couldn't confirm, but the underground here indeed hides far too many secrets.

Meanwhile, the drama king is already gossiping about whether Yue Chengzhang has a girl he likes.

"By the way, I remember when you first entered school, weren't you still attached to a girl with blue hair? How's it now?"

"Huh? You mean her?"

Yue Chengzhang, hearing that, scratched his face a bit embarrassedly.

"Since then, we haven't met again."

Even Min Xingyao, who was by that girl's side, he had greeted a few times, but he truly never saw that girl.

But that seems normal, right? Not to mention on the first day of school he knocked someone over, and that girl walks a completely different path from us wilderness fighters; she's into research.

And Mitra's research specialties have always been even more specialized.

Yue Chengzhang also asked Min Xingyao, but that person used the name "Lin Yuan" in the Academy; Min Xingyao told him it was a pseudonym taken directly from his brother's name.

Although he occasionally saw him from afar in the Academy a few times, that was about all.

"Is that so?"

The drama king blinked innocently, suddenly getting an ominous premonition.

Although Yue Chengzhang's standing in Tianmian City is indeed high, his talkative nature, like scattering beans, means that anyone who knows him a bit will never casually reveal truly important matters.

He wouldn't really have bet the treasure, would he…?

That person really has nothing to do with whatever plan you and your partner are trying to investigate!

"... To circumvent the world's laws, we decided to use Mutation to twist a portion of the genes..."

Watching his own body turn into a Data Stream, he himself became like an electronic phantom, flowing along abandoned energy conduits, feeling his way according to the rough location on the small map—a brand‑new sensation.

Different perspectives and a more realistic surrounding environment let one notice more details, but also make personal experience easier to arise.

It's like personally killing a living person versus deleting an irrelevant string of code; the feelings are completely different.

Here, Yang Yixie finally found more experimental records besides those sealed after being taken to Mitra Academy.

Although also covered in dust, it hadn't been visited for at most a decade or so; he successfully found follow‑up information on that human experiment here.

"Humans ultimately cannot artificially create Divine Oracles; we had internal disagreements, but fortunately those of us who remained chose a common goal."

"We want him to survive, to let this child we barely managed to locate, who should serve as a Temporal‑Spatial Divine Oracle to fulfill the oracle, live on."

"But the Church possesses a special method that can trace the origin and detect the existence of Divine Oracles, so we tried to split the temporal‑spatial power into two parts for separate storage."

"Unfortunately, the power we tried to separate was seized by those traitors, who inserted it into the cloned artificial bodies they created."

"The world's laws dictate that two completely identical children cannot exist, but they found a loophole, and thus another child who wielded half of the temporal‑spatial authority was born."

"This is the final experimental record; the Heresy Tribunal has already located the vicinity. If we don't flee now, this perpetually dark underground will be our final hibernation place."

"That child is a monster; she is the being who stole the Divine Oracle's power and is not permitted to descend to the world. In the end, we could only use Aberrant Arts to implant a suggestion in her brain, ensuring she wouldn't become a threat to humanity."

Yang Yixie expressionlessly recorded the entire text, then decisively found a way to destroy the files on the spot.

Some things stay forever underground, unseen by daylight for a reason; it's best that such unsightly things erode away with time.

He imagined what the human experiments here were like, but now it seems the Dome's artificial Divine Oracle experiments may have only gathered part of this side's data, without producing any decent finished product.

Has Mu Lingxiao ever been here? Does she know her non‑human identity?

People in this wasteland world are indeed all crazy!

In summary, Mu Linyuan is a naturally born, complete Temporal‑Spatial Divine Oracle, yet those fanatics somehow took him away before the Heresy Tribunal came knocking.

They used Mu Linyuan as a template, attempting to replicate more Divine Oracles, but the experiments never made effective progress, leading to internal splits: some wanted to preserve Mu Linyuan and let him fulfill the oracle, while others remained obstinately misguided.

Not long after, the Heresy Tribunal traced them down, and indeed those misguided people produced an artificial human, also siphoning off part of Mu Linyuan's authority.

What ultimately happened to those people is unknown; they may have escaped or perished midway, but the Heresy Tribunal apparently never found their laboratory headquarters, allowing this place to remain.

Mu Linyuan and Mu Lingxiao, however, were treated by the Church as twin beings sharing authority, which introduced flaws into the originally whole power, giving certain people an opening.

The Pope then sought to temporarily suspend the death sentences of the two, using them for his own purposes.

When Mu Lingxiao previously spoke with the Academy Director, she somewhat sensed something amiss, and Mu Lingxiao had also been interfered with by the Consciousness Law.

So now, is the Church truly controlled by Mu Linyuan or by Mu Lingxiao?

Who is behind the merging of the two worlds?

Even with Mu Lingxiao's non‑human identity clarified, the situation becomes less clear, only breeding more concerns in Yang Yixie's mind.

Those not of our kind have hearts that differ.

Originally human, recalling that when they were human all Aberrant Species were shunned by every faction; can a human‑mimicking artificial human be spared from peril?

How much of their current misfortune stems from the other's handiwork.
