Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2305: Chapter 2300: Beneficence

It is well known that when things are counterintuitive, the elimination method is indeed a commonly used technique... but is this directly eliminated?

Originally progressing smoothly, Cass’s conclusion this time, it has to be said, is somewhat destructive to the subject.

”Are you suggesting that ultimately nothing can explain that kind of special inheritance?”

But even so, Fu Qian still didn’t rush to refute.

Having just mentioned that the situation is quite counterintuitive, this development, although a bit extreme, also aligns well with this point, doesn’t it?

”It seems that way, I seem unable to deduce any element that withstands verification.”

Shaking his head, Cass’s doubts seemed to have accumulated for quite some time.

”Numerous cases have proven that the most basic bloodline inheritance indeed holds its significance, but it seems to be merely a necessary premise.

”Whereas, in the bloodline chains of transcendent inheritance, almost all elements can find counterexamples... to the extent that it seems, in the end, that to explain, you almost have to introduce concepts like destiny and luck.”

Although such an analogy may be somewhat inappropriate, the content Cass supplemented sounds indeed somewhat like ’the end of science is theology,’ searching half a lifetime without answers, and in the latter years, returning to God.

”It can’t be that up to now, superior beings are still appointing the fortunate ones, bestowing transcendent gifts?”

But don’t forget that in this world, gods truly exist, and once you attribute reasons to this aspect, it doesn’t just mean giving up on thinking.

For a moment, based on Cass’s statement, Fu Qian deduced an even more horrifying conclusion.

That is, transcendent power has a will, randomly choosing the fortunate ones.

...

”It really does contradict normal cognition. If placed before the Long Night, perhaps it seems more reasonable... but if not like this, it wouldn’t be one of the greatest mysteries of mysticism over the years.”

As a pillar of the Heaven’s Commencement Institute, Cass’s composure was evident, although the content gradually diverged, the dialogue continued in a calm manner.

As for his statement, Fu Qian expressed no objection.

Before the Long Night, that transcendent system centered on faith, indeed appeared as if gifts like Annalise’s were mainstream.

In the rules established by superior beings, a devout heart receives feedback, and so on.

Of course, the scale of the Progenitor of the Blood Clan was indeed a bit too large.

”Actually concerning this problem, I also have cases here that could be attempted for reference, even related to my research assistant.”

And without merely examining others’ papers, he went on to share the data in his hands.

”It’s known that she did not inherit the power within her family’s bloodline at all, instead, she walked the Sword Dao route, but taking advantage of a coincidence, I confirmed this did not affect a certain mark in the supernatural domain.”

Fu Qian was naturally referring to the matter of the Brass Crown.

”The divine road is broken, ashes become a ladder,” this brief message, currently, seems likely left by that predecessor Ji Feng.

And Miss Liushuang, who helped decipher this point, indeed seems unrelated to Ashfall.

From this point, isn’t it possible to say a certain extraordinary attribute element used to identify and activate the headband is relatively independent from the gifts passed down in the family bloodline?

”An element more fundamental than transcendent gifts... what do you think it is?”

Clearly interested in this case, Cass quickly grasped the key point, seemingly along with this employment relationship, he sensed some hidden implications.

”Offspring?”

Fu Qian blinked, directly uttering a word.

...

This is too basic, isn’t it... haven’t we been discussing this all along?

It was evident, in that moment, Cass was slightly stunned.

However, out of trust for the lifelong professor, he immediately fell into contemplation, attempting to ponder the underlying meaning.

”Are you trying to say the most straightforward meaning of the word ’offspring’ is actually the essence of transcendent in the bloodline?

”No need to consider anything else, ’someone’s offspring,’ that label alone is enough? Under suitable circumstances, could this trigger manipulations on a supernatural level?”

It didn’t take long for Cass to look up and slowly offer his reflections.

”Yes, it was indeed an inspiration conveyed by Professor Lisa - it’s a more abstract concept.”

Fu Qian affirmed it quite promptly.

As for the inspiration, it wasn’t nonsensical talking; as early as when Miss Liushuang donned that headband, which proved effective, Fu Qian had considered the meaning it represented.

Even furthermore, it led to deductions about blood relations, offspring, the meaning of life, and so on.

As for the conclusion, it was the aforementioned ”offspring” label.

Indeed, regardless of gender, constitution, or talent, this sole element suffices, that is, ”someone’s descendants,” this is the fundamental essence of supernatural bloodline power.

Isn’t it too extreme?

As a professional in this field, Cass, after contemplation, immediately arrived at the same conclusion, which was essentially a form of accord.

Of course, prior to today’s exchange, Fu Qian merely considered it as one of many possibilities.

Due to the dean’s rather pessimistic conclusion earlier, many of the other possibilities were instantly excluded, causing this explanation to stand out.

This is the importance of discussion and standing on the shoulders of giants.

”If we think from this perspective... logically it surprisingly makes sense, but consequently, the essence of the transcendent becomes increasingly elusive...”

Of course, even the giant himself seemed somewhat stunned, and what was said was evidently not without reason.

Not concerned with zygotes, developmental stages, ingesting heaven and earth treasures... and so on and so forth.

”Someone’s offspring,” just that single designation, by what means does it cause a supernatural-level influence, and thereby win the transcendent lottery?

”Actually, I have another case.”

Perceiving the swirling thoughts of the old man, Fu Qian didn’t rush to comment, nor worry about the old man’s brain overload, but directly continued.

...

Another?

Sure enough, amidst his surprise, Cass quickly wore a look of anticipation.

”Over in Shangjing, I recently came into contact with a cultivation family and discovered that their current members seemingly hold no blood relation with their ancestor who once reached high-tier transcendence.”

Fu Qian lived up to expectations, immediately sharing the latest research concerning the Chen Family.

It can only be said that always maintaining a curious heart is indeed necessary; if not for incidentally asking Nepheli this time, this case might not have surfaced now.

”...But do they still possess a certain cultivation talent?”

Regarding this case, Cass furrowed his brows and promptly sought confirmation.

”Yes, they have talent, even similar talent, but not much.”

Fu Qian nodded.

”So, not only does the concept ’someone’s offspring’ possess supernatural significance, even ’someone’s false offspring’ does?”

Cass evidently already understood the implication, deeply inhaling as he did so.
