Chapter 1812: Chapter 430: Divine Infant Revival Plan
After convergence, resources between the two continents became interconnected. Now, the number of micro Source Energy Boats in East Continent has greatly increased.
Serving as the direct contact with the Underground Research Institute, the Huazhi Group, due to its responsibility for research and production, has indirectly controlled nearly sixty percent of the Source Energy Boat business in East Continent over the years.
Chu Ling directly sent her coordinates to Lu Nanzhi, as well as the footage captured by the Deep Sea’s Heavenly Eye in Chanyi City.
"Gu Shen died again?!"
Even though Lu Nanzhi had witnessed countless grand events, she still stood up in shock at this moment.
They used "again" because this scene had happened once before.
Only that time,
there was no similar footage being circulated, just a vague death notice from the Gu family.
"Yes."
Chu Ling lowered her voice and said, "But Gu Shen is different from others. His spirit is very special; even if he leaves his body, he can preserve it through additional means... If he can obtain a perfectly compatible body, then he still has a chance to come back to life."
Lu Nanzhi was stunned.
She suddenly remembered the term "Spiritual Exile."
Any living creature can be divided into two relatively independent entities: the body and the soul. Transcendents cultivate their bodies while also honing their spirits; otherwise, they risk losing control.
If some Transcendents encounter accidents during cultivation, causing their spirit to leave the shell,
then they will eternally slumber.
Lu Nanzhi had experienced so-called "Spiritual Exile," and it was Gu Shen who saved her then. If not for Gu Shen’s intervention, she too might have fallen into eternal slumber, which in the mundane society, those eternally slumbering due to "Spiritual Exile" are referred to as vegetative people.
But if the body is torn apart, is it still possible to recall the spirit?
The body is the container for the spirit.
And it is an incredibly intricate container.
Apart from a few extremely special "capable ones," others cannot adapt to a soul container that is not their own body.
Lu Nanzhi knew that Chu Ling had been advancing the "Divine Infant" experiment for years.
After the Sangzhou Cave incident, the Neutral organization was incorporated into the Ancient Literature Society, and researchers like Zhuang Su and Qi Mo silently conducted research on the Divine Infant in Huazhi Underground, with Chu Ling responsible for providing computational support... She actually didn’t quite understand the significance of the Divine Infant experiment until now; she suddenly seemed to realize something.
If the Divine Infant is meant to be the compatible body for Gu Shen,
then it’s understandable why Chu Ling has been coming to Da Du regularly to check on the progress of the experiment over the years.
She has been preparing for today!
"Even if the Divine Infant is compatible," Lu Nanzhi asked nervously, "but Gu Shen is in that state now, can his fragmented spirit... be retrieved from the Old World?"
The image in that footage was truly horrific.
From the footage, it seemed Meng Xizhou showed no restraint at all; she chopped Gu Shen’s body into pieces.
"If everything is advancing according to plan, then there’s no need to search."
Chu Ling intertwined her fingers and solemnly said, "Gu Shen’s spirit will be sent to a certain fortress at the border of the Five Continents... The ultimate revival of the ’Divine Infant’ will take place outside the Five Continents; this time, Gu Shen will face true death, yet also a true resurrection."
Lu Nanzhi was stunned once again.
Her eyes suddenly widened as she realized the most critical point in this footage: the information she saw... might not be the truth.
The Ancient Literature Society has always aimed to oppose Deep Sea as their ultimate goal, silently connecting members and developing forces.
So as soon as the wanted notice for Gu Shen was issued, members of the Ancient Literature Society knew that the charges on the wanted notice were false; it was merely a replay of the massacre from thirty years ago.
But others might not see it that way.
Everyone faces similar "misunderstandings."
In today’s world, people see only what Deep Sea allows them to see; controlling the source of human information and guiding human thoughts is not difficult. If you want humans to believe a group of people is bad, just keep broadcasting the bad things this group does, without mentioning the good they do, thereby diminishing those positives.
It won’t take long.
This group will truly become "bad."
On the flip side.
To oppose Deep Sea, similar strategies can be employed.
To oppose Deep Sea, one must first deceive Deep Sea. The main system of Deep Sea has been upgraded ten times and covers the entire Five Continents. With such vast information in its grasp, deceiving it is very challenging...
Unless the deceiver has always been acting.
She needs to live under the lens of Deep Sea, dismantling her life, and withstand every calculation and deduction by the main system.
To achieve all this, not only requires exquisite acting.
She also needs to find trustworthy "allies," have an impeccable excuse, and at the perfect moment, engage in just the right amount of information exchange... to achieve cooperation.
"Meng Xizhou... is acting? Is she one of us?"
Lu Nanzhi looked at Chu Ling in disbelief. The shock from seeing the footage was not because Meng Xizhou brandished her sword, but because Gu Shen really died that way.
In the lady’s heart, Meng Xizhou is a decisive woman.
A woman who could conquer the West Continent with thunderous means could not possibly be someone indecisive, right?
She wielded her sword.
Lu Nanzhi wasn’t surprised.
It’s just that Meng Xizhou was imprisoned in the temple for six full years, during which she had no means to exchange information with the outside world...
"She has been for a long time."
Chu Ling said, "In fact, Meng Xizhou visited North Continent once, and to a person with a firm enough will, once they have determined the final destination, a single exchange is sufficient to support their journey."
When restarting the Duolu River mission.
Meng Xizhou visited North Continent and, under the pretense of breaking off a marriage, met with Her Majesty the Empress. At that time... the West Continent and Central City still had very good relations.
There are only a few places in this world that can escape the surveillance of Deep Sea.
The Divine Domain of the Empress is one of them.
The Beizhou Empress possesses Divination Skill that peers into destiny, while Meng Xizhou... had access to a "Forbidden Book Tower" that can provide hints on fate.
"I’m sorry, there’s too much information; give me a moment to digest it."
Lu Nanzhi rubbed her temples and only after a long while did she speak: "You’ve been planning this for a long time? How do you know these things?"
"..."
Chu Ling was silent for a while.
She shook her head honestly: "Madam, I’m not the one who planned all this. And regarding Gu Shen’s Divine Infant resurrection plan... there are still some missing Ancient Literature pieces. There is another key person in this plan; I need you to send someone to fetch him back."
