Chapter 71: Visualize

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before the start of the second exam, Fei Long had briefed all of them about the details and the essentials very clearly.

When a person first entered the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine, it would start to stimulate one’s spirit.

When the spirit was stimulated to a certain level, the machine would provide the candidate with a reasonable vision.

Calling it a vision was just a way of labeling it.

As a matter of fact, constructing a picture that would easily allow the candidate to enter a certain kind of static state would be based on different people’s spiritual qualities and other traits.

Only under the static state could one truly feel oneself.

While the candidate was induced in the condition, the machine would capture the wavelength from the brain, analyze it and produce the truest result.

It could be perceived that in that exact moment, the machine was granted access to the candidate’s mind to retrieve information. Then, it would be deciphered in the most precise way possible.

“The information the brain gets is objective after all, but when a human reads that information, their own subjective opinion will be mixed into it or sometimes muddled. The information then turns into something unreadable, but the reading of the machine is accurate,” Fei Long simply explained the theory behind the machine. It felt like an unbelievable mind-reading ability but with a lot more sense and theory behind it.

However, Tang Ling regarded it a little differently. He was thinking that if the information was hidden in the Genetic Chain, could it be read via microscopic methods like the old civilization?

Why a vision? Why analyze the wavelength of the brain?

Although Yang Kong filled in the details of Fei Long’s explanation, he unintentionally mentioned that the Genetic Chain Talent was something very mysterious. Without the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine, it could not be read, not even by the technology of the old civilization.

All Yang Kong did was show off the precision and mystery of the machine, but he somehow answered Tang Ling’s question.

After Tang Long walked in, he knelt down on his knees calmly.

Through the transparent roof, the starry sky appeared once more and the energy of the universe amassed as the machine started to glow in the mysterious light.

After the transparent door with the halos were sealed, there was dead silence within the machine. Tang Ling could not help but feel a little nervous watching the beauty of the universe in such a mysterious atmosphere.

Since Su Yao was confident in him, why would he not trust himself?

He just did not know what kind of vision would he get. Fei Long did mention that the vision varied from person to person. It was everyone’s own secret and it was not necessary to share it with others.

As for the reason, Fei Long did not explain it. He did say that it was the rule of this era. Prying or forcing others to reveal their vision was something offensive, and others might view it as a life-threatening situation, especially the Purple Moon Warriors.

“What could it be then?” His thought was but a flash. However, when it appeared, he clearly felt a type of energy generated within the machine.

The energy felt a lot like the electric current that the books described. One would feel numb when touched or jolt uncontrollably, but it somehow felt slightly different.

Before he could even savor the difference in the feeling, numbness amassed at his brain.

‘Even if it really is an electric current, it wouldn’t be strong,’ Tang Ling thought.

A strong electric current could kill, but the numbness from the energy relaxed his brain and made him feel a little refreshed.

His brain had never been so active. Even his Precise Instinct started without his activation and concentration.

“The width of the internal space is 1.4241 meters while its length is 3.1673 meters.” The instinctive calculations swiftly calmed Tang Ling down.

Then, the comforting sensation sent him into a strange state. It felt like he was asleep but not entirely dormant.

At that very moment, he did not feel like he was in the narrow space inside the machine anymore. Instead, he felt like he was floating in the vast and beautiful space above the roof.

With a certain distance in between him and the sky, he gazed at the spiraling galaxy quietly.

His eyes started to get blur as the galaxy started to distance itself. His body gradually floated to a place of absolute silence. The concept of space started to blur out because the place that he was in had no size. It just fitted his sitting posture perfectly.

Then, a picture started to unfold in front of Tang Ling.

It was white, or more precisely, whiter than white. A quick glimpse at it invoked a desolate, empty feeling in his heart.

Then, in the center of the picture, a small black dot appeared. It was inconspicuous at first, but when he stared at it, it throbbed in his heart.

The black dot spun, expanded, and contracted. Every single movement was rhythmic like his heartbeat, but it held a sense of power that it could destroy the world.

Even so, Tang Ling did not move his eyes away from the black dot because it was all the void had. It was hope and life. It was the start of everything. Without it, there was only the void before his eyes, the silence in the void, the emptiness of the void, the despair of the void… It was endless.

Tang Ling could not put his feelings into words. Could this be his vision? A black dot in the center of the void?

Outside the machine, Fei Long’s faint smile showed a trace of satisfaction.

Three seconds was all Tang Ling took to visualize it! How powerful was his spirit? Fei Long was curious about what Tang Ling’s vision was. How big was it?

As a matter of fact, the vision was the highest secret of the new humans bearing the Genetic Chain Talent. It was the basis to construct all things and it represented the space to grow.

It was impossible for one to fully describe the vision, and even if one tried, the meaning could only be felt and not spoken.

Therefore, in this era, there were only a few visions opened for viewing, three of which were in the whole Safety Sector No. 17.

However, it came at a great cost, and the three visions only retained around 70% of their original meaning.

However, regardless of how mysterious the vision was, humans were still able to make out a set of patterns from it. The bigger the scale of the meaning of the vision, the further one could develop and the better the Genetic Chain Talent.

While the thought flashed over Fei Long’s head, Yang Kong also casually voiced his comment, “Three seconds.”

Judging from his spirit alone, this young boy’s talent would be the highest in the whole of Safety Sector No. 17.

However, compared to the Genetic Chain Talent, the spiritual talent was like the side for a steak. No matter how delicious the sides were, the tastiness of a plate of steak depended on the steak itself.

Nevertheless, having such high spiritual talent was also beneficial. With such powerful spiritual talent, what kind of color would his illuminated halos be?

The others did not know Fei Long’s thoughts. They also did not understand the meaning of Yang Kong’s “three seconds”. They waited patiently for Tang Ling’s result.

Meanwhile, inside the machine, Tang Ling’s experience started to become arduous.

Because the black spot brought endless pressure to Tang Ling, he felt like he was almost sucked into the black spot just by laying his gaze on it.

The concept of time slowly became meaningless in his vision because even his Precise Instinct was not able to calculate how quickly it moved.

Time lost its function as a measuring unit.

How long had it been? A moment? Or an eternity?

In his eyes, the rhythm of that black dot was growing faster and stronger. Finally, in the endless void, it suddenly exploded.
