Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Chapter 357: 283. River of Time


Long Xingyun snapped back to reality and suddenly realized, "It's actually the roar of a mammoth, no wonder Mr. Spirit Crows wants to resurrect the mammoths."

Wu Dingtian was equally surprised, "A soul fragment is born inside the fossil; it's truly an eye-opener today."

Long Xingyun recalled what the middle-aged man in the white coat had just said and couldn't help curling his lips, "From the way they talk, it seems these people see Mr. Spirit Crows as a target to chase?"

Wu Dingtian smiled, "Ambitious!"

As prominent Superpower Users, both were aware of just how terrifying Mr. Spirit Crows' strength was.

The gap between them was so large that chasing was out of the question.

To put it in comparison, your strength is "10," while Mr. Spirit Crows' strength is "300."

After some time, you've increased your strength to "15," an increase of "5," while Mr. Spirit Crows has surged to "350," with a whopping increase of "50."

Thus, the gap between the two continues to grow day by day, which is even more despairing.

And the researchers of the Life Research Institute consider Mr. Spirit Crows as their target, only to prove that ignorance is fearlessness.

Long Xingyun turned to his colleague and asked, "The researcher said this fossil is thirty thousand years old. Logically, the soul should have dissipated completely, so why is there a soul fragment?"

Wu Dingtian looked baffled.

Long Xingyun disdainfully remarked to his colleague, "Earlier, you were speaking so fluently; I thought you knew a lot, but it turns out you still don't know anything."

Wu Dingtian retorted directly, "Anyway, I know more than you."

Long Xingyun stopped the bickering and walked briskly towards the middle-aged man in the white coat, greeting directly, "Director Zhang, nice to meet you!"

He didn't know the man, but he noticed the metal name tag on the man's chest.

It bore a name — Zhang Yongnian.

And a title — Director of Life Research Institute, Great Xia Superpower Research Institute.

Zhang Yongnian was momentarily stunned and turned to look at this uninvited guest, "May I know who you are…?"

Long Xingyun cheerfully introduced himself, "Highest Commander of the Blood Banner Legion, Long Xingyun."

Zhang Yongnian uttered an "Oh" and extended his right hand proactively, "Commander Long, nice to meet you!"

Long Xingyun tightly gripped the other's hand, smiling, "Your process of exploring the mammoth's soul fragment left a very deep impression on me.

"The Blood Banner Legion has abundant funds and various resources; the Legion is planning the first expedition into the Sea of Death Black Sand. There are many areas for collaboration between the Legion and the Institute."

Initially, Zhang Yongnian wasn't too enthusiastic, but upon hearing words like "funds," "resources," "Sea of Death Black Sand," his attitude changed visibly in an instant.

Zhang Yongnian repeatedly exclaimed, "The commander is absolutely right! There are numerous opportunities for collaboration between the Institute and the Blood Banner Legion."

Behind them.

Wu Dingtian watched as his colleague hooked Director Zhang with just one sentence, silently cursing in his heart, "This bastard is really good at networking."

He also memorized his colleague's words, planning to use them in the future.

On the other side.

Long Xingyun inquired, "Director Zhang, I have a question. Why does the fossil generate a soul fragment?"

Director Zhang habitually pushed his glasses and explained, "According to Miss Jana, history hasn't vanished but entered the River of Time.

"Under certain circumstances, the splashes from the River of Time have a special way of forming a projection in the real world, thereby affecting reality.

"The mammoth fossil is such a case. A fragment of its soul returned from the distant past, giving birth to this soul fragment."

Long Xingyun was fascinated, "I always thought the River of Time was a metaphor, but I didn't expect such a thing to actually exist."

Director Zhang laughed, "In the Superpower Era, all sorts of bizarre things exist; there's nothing beyond imagination."

Long Xingyun agreed, "Indeed!"

Director Zhang continued, "Yesterday, I visited Guiyuan Ancient Temple overnight to meet Mr. Spirit Crows. The expert told us he discovered anomalies in the mammoth fossil and used a secret technique to glimpse a tiny segment of the River of Time, seeing firsthand the ancient Canglan Star landscape."

Long Xingyun sincerely admired, "The expert is truly incredible!"

Director Zhang spoke with reverence, "Mr. Spirit Crows is the first Canglan People to explore the River of Time, a pioneer of Canglan Civilization."

He paused and then added a side note, "The Life Research Institute has applied for a project to explore the River of Time, planning to successfully glimpse it within ten years."

Long Xingyun, with a tone of assurance, said, "I trust your institute can definitely achieve it."

However, he internally doubted it.

Not even in twenty years.

Because tracing back the distant past involves time, while soul exploration only involves the soul.

The difficulty of the former is evidently far greater.

Mr. Spirit Crows achieved this with his mysterious and powerful abilities, something he doubted the team of researchers could manage.

Long Xingyun curiously asked again, "By the way, what did the expert see in the ancient times?"

Director Zhang shook his head, "Mr. Spirit Crows didn't say."

Long Xingyun glanced at the fossil and asked, "Mr. Spirit Crows decided to resurrect the mammoth because this soul fragment has some special aspect, right?"

Director Zhang nodded, "Mr. Spirit Crows mentioned that the embryo created during the resurrection ceremony has a certain probability of inheriting the qualities of the soul fragment, possibly awakening a middle grade talent. If cultivated well, it might possibly evolve into a Knight Level Spirit Beast."
