Chapter 71

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 .
