Chapter 994: Chapter 99: Visit of the Retrospection Sect (5600)_3

So, those Submlimators who cannot assure the future of their own families gather around the bloodline Nobles instead, to maintain a stable order and in return, they receive support from the bloodline Nobles for their family and inheritance.

Unless, like at Whale Song Cliff, where the twins holding the ’Island-Cloaking Dragon Whale’ True Form, the Ymia siblings, have used various secret methods to convert their True Form into a ’Bloodline’, stabilizing the inheritance in this regard.

It sounds very primitive to use bloodline inheritance and speaks of a kind of racial theory... but if knowledge and power can truly be passed on through blood, then it is actually a very advanced technology!

If Humans could all use this technology...

"Then perhaps, the demand for ’Sublimation Materials’ among Sublimators will drop by another level!"

With this thought in mind, Ian carefully observed the details of various Origin Structures within Cometes.

The result, he indeed saw some nuances.

The blue dots contained in the baby’s body are not purely Origin Structures but are a type of ’Soul Structure’ that contains part of the Spirit Substance structure... and Ian is very familiar with this structure.

"An Artificial Soul? No... just similar, but clearly, the Artificial Soul is related to the ’Sublimation Seeds’ brought by ’Bloodline Inheritance’!"

Ian marveled in his heart: "Is that so? I suspected that the Artificial Soul clearly has many sources of inspiration... I see, no wonder it at least requires a Second Energy Level Sublimator to turn a part of their sublimation organ into a seed and condense it within their offspring."

"This is not merely genetic inheritance; there is also a part of ’soul inheritance’!"

"Part of a Sublimator’s soul will merge into the body of another during the union with a fellow bloodlined Sublimator. The thought processes of the two, and part of one soul’s prototype will then follow the process of ’embryo formation’, merging into the baby’s body."

"Thus, the Origin Structure in the baby’s body will have a condensation point, condensing in the area corresponding to the parent’s Origin Organ, and the baby’s body will also possess part of the parent’s Spirit Substance structure, making it easier for them to condense a soul, naturally granting them an extremely potent advantage in becoming a Sublimator!"

"No wonder The Empire’s Nobles must have the Second Energy Level. Without the Second Energy Level, they simply cannot stabilize the bloodline inheritance; they’re just a wealthy one-generation noble!"

"And the Artificial Soul also mimics the process of bloodline Nobles inheriting sublimation seeds, using one’s thoughts and memories, and the Spirit Substance provided by the Attached Brain, to condense their own soul... essentially, it’s equivalent to passing on a ’sublimation seed’ in the soul aspect to oneself!"

This is quite an important data supplement—even though it seems that Ian doesn’t need to know this step to continue modifying the Artificial Soul, ignorance of its source is destined to result in a major setback at some point in the future.

This is the Prophet’s foresight!

And at this moment, through observing the not yet born Cometes, Ian roughly understood the process of bloodline Nobles’ inheritance.

It is not purely genetic, but also has guidance from the soul... no wonder some people can’t inherit their parent’s bloodline, even simple genetic mixing can result in congenital deformity or disability, or two smart people may give birth to a dull child, once the soul dimension of Sublimators is added, unexpected outcomes are naturally more frequent, be it giving birth to an existence far superior to the parents or completely unable to touch The Path of Sublimation’s discard.

Viscount Grant and Lady Klendell are quite fortunate - all of Little Komet’s sublimation seeds are very stable, once born, he will surely inherit the ’Abyssal Whale’ bloodline.

"Congratulations, Viscount, and Madam."

With dim eyes, Ian glanced at the anxious Viscount couple and smiled brightly: "The talent of my future disciple might be even higher than the Viscount himself — let me say, under my guidance, he will definitely exceed the Viscount."

"Haha, that’s a premature statement."

Viscount Grant, hearing Ian’s assurance, knew that his most concerning bloodline issue didn’t exist, immediately let out a sigh of relief.

He then laughed heartily, embraced his wife who was also covering her mouth smiling joyfully, and then boisterously said: "I feel I might achieve the Third Energy Level breakthrough within the year; this kid will have a lot to look forward to in the future!"

Ian was not lying; anyone can see that.

With this reassurance, Viscount Grant could more comfortably devote his energy to taking care of his wife, rather than bothering with those magic potions that are said to remedy malformations or defects.

Of course, checking on the Viscount’s children is a small matter that doesn’t require any reward, but as a father, Viscount Grant does not consider it trivial; he hinted to Ian that he would receive a personal thank you gift upon his next visit to the Viscount’s Mansion, and Ian certainly would not refuse at this time.

As for now, Ian planned to go home with Elder Pude and Elan.

"But not now."

After leaving the Viscount’s Mansion, Ian held the hand of the bouncy, cheerful Elan, and turned to Elder Pude, saying: "I want to visit White Mist Bishop - I have some matters to discuss with him, and also to inquire about Elan’s progress there."

"As you wish." The old man shook his head and said, "You are the family head, and I am just an elder—Ian, it’s now your turn to make decisions, big or small."

"We still must honor the elders and cherish the young; it’s a rule of the family head, right?"

Ian shrugged, and here he turned his head to look at his brother, who, meeting his gaze, also turned his head to look back.

The white-haired boy shook Elan’s hand and teased: "So, are you afraid of brother going to see your teacher?"

"I’m not afraid! Because I’ve been performing well!"

To this, Elan responded without hesitation: "Although not as good as brother, I’ve always been very diligent and hard-working... everyone likes me! Even Bishop Grandpa praises my talent!"

"Haha, truly confident. I also like Elan very much!"

Ian was now quite relaxed; his brother is very healthy now, and in good spirits, which is the best news.

Even though there are connections to the ’Crystal Creature’, the Foresight View does not indicate that this is a bad thing... instead, it is a rather interesting opportunity.

Thus, there is no rush.

Ian took Elan through the familiar streets and alleys of Harrison Port, buying him two skewers of grilled fish, a skewer of sausage, and a cup of lemon juice before he somewhat belatedly realized: "This boy, his appetite has grown—Elder, how much does he eat in one meal now?"

"Not much, the same amount as other children his age."

Elder Pude glances at Elan, still happily munching on his fish head, and shook his head gently: "But he eats five meals. Ian, you’re right, Elan’s supposedly potential deviations or defects might be due to lack of nutrition."

"Once there are no deviations and Iron Bone develops normally, his appetite begins to increase drastically."

The old man’s tone carried a hint of sorrow here: "This actually, is talent — a child inheriting the sublimation seed of ancient ancestors, almost wasted due to our inadequate nurturing."

"Among our White Folks, how many have their potential permutations due to a lack of nurturing? Thinking about this..."

"Don’t worry, Elder."

Ian spoke up, interrupting Elder Pude’s sigh.

His eyes looking straight ahead, his tone calm: "I’m here. So, such things will never happen again."

The elderly man was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Yes, with you."

He patted his own bushy beard, and Elder Pude showed a relieved smile, "You really are our sun, our hope..."

Ian never refuses such ’expectations’.

If someone hopes he is the sun, then he will be the sun—the guiding stars do not merely represent the stars in the sky; the sun and moon are included too.

Soon, the three arrived at Huai Guang Church in Harrison Port.

However, what was unexpected is that they were not the only visitors here.

Another group, with ’Retrospection Sect’ markings, was also waiting at this place.
