Chapter 329

Her eyes wandered between Luo En and Princess Yi Fu, as if observing something only she could perceive:

"Continue your discussion, I am curious what kind of knowledge you will impart to Princess Yi Fu."

Facing this situation, Luo En quickly adjusted his strategy.

Since Cassandra was present, he decided to shift the focus to theoretical exploration of bloodline studies.

After all, this was one of the areas of expertise of this Great Wizard, and also the opportunity to best demonstrate the depth of his knowledge.

"Since the Tower Master is present, I think it would be more meaningful to discuss some operational theories of bloodline modulation today."

Luo En's expression became more formulaic: "Especially some extended thinking based on your early research materials."

He turned to Princess Yi Fu and began to enter the teaching state, but could feel Cassandra's eye pressure:

"Your Highness, do you still remember the core viewpoint of your mother's 'Bloodline Resonance Theory'?"

Princess Yi Fu tried hard to calm herself down, but her mother's presence made it very difficult for her to concentrate:

"Is... is it saying that there might be some deep connection between different bloodlines?"

"Correct, but this is only a surface-level understanding."

Luo En nodded in recognition, then began to elaborate deeply:

"According to my research on the Tower Master's early theories, combined with my own experimental findings, I believe the essence of bloodline resonance is 'information synchronization'."

He took out a special crystal device from his bosom:

"Each bloodline is constantly emitting specific frequency energy signals outward, and these signals carry the basic information of the bloodline.

When two compatible bloodlines approach, their signals resonate, forming information exchange."

Cassandra's eyes became focused, and she straightened her body slightly, clearly very interested in this theoretical exposition.

"However, there is a key point in the Tower Master's theory that has not been deeply explored—the possibility of artificial resonance."

Luo En continued: "If we can artificially modulate the signal frequency of bloodlines, we can make originally incompatible bloodlines produce forced synchronization."

This viewpoint made Cassandra's pupils contract slightly; she seemed to realize the huge potential of this technology.

"Forced synchronization?" Princess Yi Fu's voice was a bit trembling, not knowing if it was because of nervousness or excitement: "What does this mean?"

"It means we can break through the traditional limitations of bloodline fusion."

Luo En's tone carried the cold excitement unique to researchers:

"Theoretically, any two bloodlines can achieve fusion through artificial modulation; the key is to find the correct frequency matching algorithm."

He paused for a moment, letting this concept fully settle:

"Of course, this technology also exists with huge risks. Forced synchronization might lead to the complete collapse of the bloodline host's genetic structure, or produce uncontrollable mutations."

Hearing this, Cassandra finally spoke, her tone carrying obvious inquiry:

"Artificial frequency modulation... this conclusion... I indeed had similar assumptions in the early days, but the technical conditions at the time could not verify it; how did you reach this conclusion?"

"It was mainly inspired by your early research on 'Bloodline Harmony Theory'." Luo En replied respectfully:

"You mentioned in that paper that the success rate of bloodline fusion is related to the 'natural affinity' of the two bloodlines.

I just extended this concept further, thinking about whether this affinity could be artificially created."

"'Natural affinity'..." Cassandra repeated this vocabulary, a look of recollection in her eyes:

"That was my idea a long time ago; I didn't expect you to reach such... bold conclusions from it."

Her tone had appreciation, but also some deep vigilance:

"However, is artificial modulation of bloodline frequency technically feasible? Do you have a specific implementation plan?"

This question touched the core of Luo En's research, and also the part he was most unwilling to reveal too much.

"It's still in the theoretical stage." He replied cautiously:

"I am trying to use rune technology to achieve frequency modulation, but I have encountered some technical difficulties.

The energy output of runes is not stable enough, making it difficult to maintain long-term precise modulation."

"Runes?" Cassandra was clearly quite interested in this:

"This can be considered a novel idea. Most bloodline modulators focus on biological means; few people think of using runes to solve problems."

"Interdisciplinary fusion often produces unexpected breakthroughs; this is also why ancient alchemists were able to create so many brilliant achievements; they all had this kind of fusion thinking."

Luo En explained:

"The precision of runes happens to compensate for the instability of biological modulation. Of course, this also requires a sufficiently deep understanding of runology."

Cassandra nodded, expressing approval of this interdisciplinary way of thinking:

"It seems your multidisciplinary background has indeed played a role."

"In addition to frequency modulation, I am also researching another direction—active activation of bloodline memory."

Luo En continued to share his research ideas: "Your theory mentioned that bloodlines preserve memory fragments of ancestors.

I am thinking, if we can selectively activate these memories, can we allow the host to temporarily acquire certain abilities of ancestors?"

This idea made Princess Yi Fu open her eyes wide: "You mean... can acquire certain abilities of one's ancestors?"

"Theoretically possible." Luo En nodded in confirmation:

"This is like a living knowledge repository." He was optimistic about the development prospects of this technology:

"Every bloodline host is a mobile library, storing the wisdom and experience of countless generations of ancestors."

"But this process is extremely dangerous. Ancient memories are often accompanied by strong consciousness imprints; if the host's mental strength is insufficient, they might be influenced by the ancestor's consciousness."

Cassandra observed the reactions of everyone present, her eyes full of complex emotions.

She seemed to be evaluating something, thinking about the impact these theories might bring.

"Your theory is very insightful." She finally spoke:

"Especially the conception of artificial frequency modulation, although it has similarities with some of my early ideas, your line of thinking is more... capable of realization."

She paused for a moment, her tone becoming more formal: "I think I should share some deeper knowledge with you."

Cassandra took out a storage box from her bosom, the surface of which was covered with complex runes Luo En had never seen before.

These runes slowly lit up under her touch, releasing a disturbing energy fluctuation.

"Inside are some experimental data I have accumulated in otherworld expeditions over the past few decades."

Her voice carried a kind of unfathomable meaning:

"Although they are not core secrets, they should have some reference value for your research."

The storage box opened slowly, and several crystal data storage devices lay inside, each emitting light of different colors.

Luo En could feel the massive amount of information contained within, and those lights seemed to contain the painful groans of countless otherworld creatures.

"Those red crystals record the biological modification experiments of the 'Flesh Melting Furnace World,' mainly about the test results of bloodline compatibility, as well as the analysis of some failure cases."

Cassandra's fingers lightly touched one of the blood-red storage devices:

"The indigenous races there have developed bloodline fusion to a height we can hardly imagine; they can reorganize their physiological structure in real-time during combat."

Her eyes showed a look of recollection, but that recollection carried a chilling excitement:

"Of course, after we conquered that world, these technologies became our spoils. Those natives are now 'contributing' their wisdom in our laboratories."

Princess Yi Fu trembled subconsciously; she heard something chilling from her mother's calm tone.

Franka was completely stiff; she began to realize what kind of fate she might be facing.

"The blue ones come from the 'Crystal Symbiosis Dimension,' inside are some measurement data of energy frequency, which might be helpful for your frequency modulation research."

Cassandra continued to introduce:

"The creatures there can perfectly fuse with inorganic substances, creating semi-biological, semi-mechanical hybrids."

She looked up, her purple eyes staring directly at Luo En:

"Although these data are not core secrets, they are completely unavailable through ordinary channels.

The reason I am willing to share with you is because I see potential in you that is different from others."

"What potential are you referring to?" Luo En asked cautiously.

"Calm rationality and a research spirit not bound by morality."

Cassandra's answer made the atmosphere in the room even more oppressive:

"True seekers are not swayed by so-called moral concepts; they only care about the truth itself."

Her gaze wandered between Luo En and the terrified Princess Yi Fu:

"Most modern wizards are disturbed by emotions when facing these modification experiments, questioning their 'legitimacy.'

But knowledge itself has no good or evil, only high or low value."

She looked at her daughter, noticing the terrified expression on Princess Yi Fu's face, her eyes full of disappointment.

"Princess Yi Fu is still too young and has not understood the true rules of this world."

Her tone carried a kind of regret:

"Perhaps one day she will understand that in this jungle-law universe, kindness is just the self-comfort of the weak."

"Let's not talk about this, let's get back to the topic, about the achievements of the bacterial strain bloodline."

Cassandra suddenly changed the topic, her tone carrying a kind of special pride:

"Actually, the foundation of this technology comes from the ancestor of our clan—Saint Hector."

Hearing the name "Hector," Luo En's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

That was the name of the King of Absurdity before he ascended the throne.

"The ancestor proposed the concept of 'Perfect Bloodline' early in the early days of the last era, and published relevant papers on the 'Stele of Truth'."

That paper is still considered an absolute classic of bloodline studies today.

The "Stele of Truth," the most authoritative academic journal in the wizard world, the achievements that can be published on it...

Luo En had a clear understanding of the weight of this information.

"His conception was to create a bloodline with infinite adaptability, capable of automatically adjusting characteristics according to environment and needs. The bacterial strain bloodline is the preliminary realization of this conception."

"And my contribution lies in..."

Cassandra's tone became more professional:

"Integrating abyss adaptability factors into the traditional bacterial strain structure. These abyss factors not only enhanced the compatibility of the bloodline, but also endowed them with some... special functions." Her eyes flashed with dangerous light:

"Such as rapid adaptation in extreme environments, and the ability to absorb certain characteristics of otherworld creatures."

Luo En carefully digested this information, beginning to understand the true design philosophy behind the bacterial strain bloodline.

This is not simple bloodline preservation; it should be said to be a part of a grand biological engineering project.

"Of course, any powerful technology is accompanied by corresponding risks."

Cassandra looked at the trembling Franka:

"The introduction of abyss factors indeed brought some... unstable factors to the bacterial strain bloodline. But this risk is controllable, provided there is sufficient technical support."

"This is the problem; as a relatively young discipline, bloodline modulation still has some problems in the development system."

She changed the topic:

"Have you noticed that bloodline modulation does not have a clear advancement route like Potion Professor, Rune Expert, or Alchemy Master?"

This question happened to touch on what Luo En had been thinking about:

"Indeed. The current level division is mainly based on the success rate of modulation, but lacks a unified ability assessment standard."

"The root of the problem lies in the complexity of this discipline." Cassandra analyzed:

"Bloodline modulation involves multiple fields such as biology, energy science, and even soul science, making it difficult to measure with a single standard."

"Generally speaking, those who can stably reach the perfect level of pure gold are called Modulation Masters, but how to define above this has always been controversial in the academic world."

She paused for a moment, her eyes becoming distant:

"If I have to say, the advancement direction of Modulation Masters actually returns to the 'Life Alchemy' branch of ancient alchemists.

This route requires mastering multiple techniques such as alchemy and flesh runes, which is a true comprehensive challenge."

This information made Luo En's heart move.

His Three-Phase Integration combination happened to fit this comprehensive requirement.

"Life Alchemy..." He repeated this vocabulary: "What kind of ability level does this mean?"

"Creating true artificial life, reconstructing the essential structure of existing organisms, and even... endowing inorganic matter with life characteristics."

Cassandra's voice carried a kind of coldness beyond human understanding: "When you reach that level, the boundary between life and death will become blurred."

Her gaze fell on Franka, who was trembling under this gaze:

"The bacterial strain bloodline is just an experimental product on this path, far from the end."

"Speaking of bloodlines, I am also very interested in your bloodline composition."

Cassandra suddenly turned her attention to Luo En:

"Your bloodline is very ancient and complex, containing components of various rare beasts that have long since gone extinct in modern times."

Luo En's heartbeat accelerated slightly, but he still maintained calmness on the surface.

He had long prepared response strategies for this situation.

"The most obvious is the bloodline characteristic of the Sun-Flame Dragon." Cassandra's analysis made him secretly vigilant:

"The Sun-Flame Dragon went completely extinct at the end of the second era, and relevant research materials are extremely scarce."

She seemed to notice Luo En's tension and waved her hand to indicate not to worry:

"I am not interested in the source of your bloodline; everyone has their own little secrets; what I want to say is another problem."

"Overly rare bloodlines are not always an advantage." Cassandra's tone carried a faint warning:

"Rare means that reference cases are scarce, and the difficulty of atavism and purification will increase exponentially."

"Due to the lack of relevant research, it is very difficult for you to find a suitable atavism scheme. In this case, looking for alternative bloodlines with similar characteristics might be a wiser choice."

It is indeed the truth; ever since his breathing method entered the fourth stage, he has been blocked everywhere in terms of bloodline.

"In addition, I need to remind you of one important thing."

Cassandra's expression suddenly became serious:

This systematic thinking made the King of Illusions let out a soft laugh:

Her eyes became deep:

"During the time I am away, you must be extra careful at the Abyss Observation Station.

I can perceive that some ancient existences in the abyss have begun to become active, and they have shown special interest in you."

"Although there are Professor Yuteer and other safeguard measures, when facing existences of that level, no protection is absolutely safe."

Cassandra's warning made the atmosphere in the room even more oppressive:

"Remember, the first rule of survival in the abyss is to never underestimate the degree of danger."

She stood up, preparing to leave:

"These experimental data should be of great help to your research; I look forward to seeing what kind of achievements you will create."

Before leaving, Cassandra glanced at the black-haired girl who was still somewhat terrified:

"Be careful with those cowardly emotions, my dear.

In this world, useless sympathy is often the most fatal weakness."

With this meaningful sentence, Cassandra's figure began to become transparent, eventually disappearing completely into the air.

The room returned to silence, but the atmosphere was more oppressive than before.

"Let's end the exchange for today."

That pressure from a higher-dimensional existence was as heavy as a mountain, making every breath difficult.

"I need time to digest this new information, especially the part about the origin of the bacterial strain bloodline."

Princess Yi Fu lowered her head and waved her hand as if saying goodbye.

Luo En noticed that after the instinctive fear when Cassandra arrived, her emotions fell into a long-term low state.

Franka was still lying softly on the ground, as if she had lost all her strength.

………………

Night fell again on the Central Land, and Luo En stood alone on the terrace of the workshop, with precision astrology instruments placed in front of him.

The starry sky tonight was exceptionally clear, and those distant stars twinkled with cold light like diamonds.

After several months of continuous cultivation, his astrology had approached the critical point of breakthrough.

And the light of the Scholar Star was getting brighter and brighter, almost to the edge of being completely lit.

Tonight, he was going to complete this critical leap.

"Ailan, is the preparation complete?"

The dryad was using her vines to help him debug various auxiliary devices.

The starlight guide made by Luo En in her hand was emitting a soft silver-white light, forming some kind of resonance with the stars in the sky.

"All equipment is in place, Master." Ailan's voice carried tension.

Luo En nodded and took a bottle of special "Resonance Potion," which was a new formula he improved after obtaining "Creator's Blessing."

The effect of the potion was immediate.

As soon as the potion entered his mouth, a cool energy immediately spread throughout his body along the meridians.

That feeling was like countless tiny starlight flowing in the blood vessels, and every heartbeat could feel the pulsation from distant stars.

His mental perception became exceptionally sharp, as if he could directly touch the star consciousness billions of light-years away.

"Start."

Luo En slowly closed his eyes and operated "Whispers of the Star Eater" to enter a deep meditation state.

His consciousness crossed the barrier of reality and sank into that familiar and mysterious star sea world.

Guided by the purple light of the Hermit Star, his perspective turned to the Scholar Star located at the bottom right of the Wisdom Constellation.

This silver-white star was blazing with light at this time.

The complex textures on its surface rotated at an unprecedented speed, like an endless computing center.

But tonight was a bit different.

Ancient and profound consciousness fluctuations came from the light of the Scholar Star; it was a kind of wisdom beyond human understanding calling softly.

This was the critical moment to establish the link.

Applying the astrology techniques he learned, he extended his mental power like silk threads, attempting to establish the deepest level of connection with the Scholar Star.

The connection process this time was extremely difficult, as if some invisible resistance was blocking his approach.

Suddenly, the light of the Scholar Star began to flicker violently, that flickering carrying a special rhythm, as if it were some kind of complex code that had been encrypted.

Luo En focused all his attention, attempting to interpret the meaning within.

Gradually, he began to feel a kind of indescribable consciousness.

It was not malicious, but it was by no means completely kind; this was a pure wisdom body beyond the concept of good and evil.

"I seek the essence of knowledge."

He recited this sentence in his consciousness; it was the basic etiquette for communicating with higher-dimensional existences recorded in "Whispers of the Star Eater."

The light of the Scholar Star suddenly stopped flickering, and the entire star became like a flawless silver mirror.
