The awakening of the Second Commander is a major event for the entire Security Bureau system, and even more so for Lin Rui personally.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he, ‘Thunder’ General, was handpicked and promoted by the Second Commander himself.

Lin Rui could only ask Fang Ranran to apologize to the guests for him, canceling his speech and delaying his departure to the meeting.

When he arrived at the address given to him by Li Xianglong – the Ninth Base City, a division of the East Asia Science Academy – he saw that both Li Xianglong and Zhou Yunfei had already arrived before him.

Lin Rui followed Zhou Yunfei, trailing behind Li Xianglong as they walked inside.

“Uncle Zhou, what exactly is going on with our Second Commander? What experiment took so long?”

Lin Rui has always been curious about the Second Commander’s condition; what kind of experiment had he been undertaking?

Lin Rui of course knew his own limitations and also knew it was taboo to ask, so he never inquired about it from Zhou Yunfei.

However, recently there have been rumors that the Second Commander was involved in an experiment related to the Abyss and Longevity. It seems the experiment failed, causing the Second Commander to be in a coma for more than a year, and it is very likely he won’t wake up.

If it weren’t for his Battle Dragon which not only maintained high intelligence but also occasionally went out for rounds with Zhou Yunfei, the outside world might suspect that the Second Commander had perished.

Lin Rui thought that since the Second Commander had already awakened, the matter might not be so sensitive and perhaps could be probed.

Zhou Yunfei hesitated whether to speak or not; he naturally trusted Lin Rui, but after all, this was about the Second Commander.

Li Xianglong in front made a comment directly: “It’s related to the Heavenly Curtain. Lin Tianchen found the relic of an ancient god at Sky Extreme Star, which happened to be the main concept god of Lin Tianchen’s studies. Moreover, Lin Tianchen possessed a Divine Artifact that could temporarily enhance the snatching of his True Spirit in the Heavenly Curtain, reaching an enhancement near the level of Longevity at its limit.

Therefore, he devised a plan with Academician Peng, who specializes in soul studies at the East Asia Science Academy, to try and steal some of the ancient god’s power, to conceptualize Lin Tianchen’s Martial Intent and transform his soul into the Abyss. However, he greatly underestimated the power of the ancient god. Not only did his Alien get trapped in that relic; his True Spirit was also confined.”

Lin Rui’s eyebrows raised slightly: “So now the Second Commander has been freed?”

“Freed? His True Spirit is still captured by the ancient god, how can it be so simple to get free?” Li Xianglong scoffed, “Currently, King Kou Xuan and I have only been able to return his main consciousness to his body, but his True Spirit is still trapped in that ancient god’s Divine Country within the Heavenly Curtain. The Alien is in the relic at Sky Extreme Star. His situation is very tricky right now, and if we don’t get his True Spirit back soon, he will eventually fall.”

Li Xianglong shook his head while speaking, his tone full of regret: “This guy is actually quite unlucky.”

If Lin Tianchen did not take the risk with this experiment and was not so aggressive, he could now change to a brand-new Armament and have the hope of achieving Longevity in the future.

In Li Xianglong’s assessment, the new technology developed by Rui Fang’s Armored Biological Research Institute could indeed help them surpass some of the barriers to ‘Longevity’.

Zhou Yunfei’s complexion turned a touch pale.

His authority within the Security Bureau had already stabilized, and being a Super Emperor of Eight Realms, he possesses the sniping ability of an Emperor Rank of Eight Realms, he has been promoted to One-star Marshal of the Security Bureau!

Even without the Second Commander’s care, he could now stand firm on his own.

So, at this moment, Zhou Yunfei was purely concerned for the safety of his old superior.

Lin Rui, on the other hand, appeared thoughtful as he glanced in the current direction of Sky Extreme Star.

The Heavenly Curtain, huh?

When all Martial Cultivators and Armored Martial Cultivators are ascending to the Ninth Realm, they need to integrate the most core part of their Primordial Spirit into the Heavenly Curtain, thereby unlocking the ladder for further ascent.

This realm is called ‘Divine Illumination,’ and the part integrated into the Heavenly Curtain is known as ‘True Spirit.’

Initially, Lin Rui only knew about the integration of Martial Cultivator’s True Spirit into the Heavenly Curtain – it seemed a bit like registering an account on internet forums to gain higher browsing privileges. It wasn’t until later, from Luo Wangshu, that he learned this is the necessary path for conceptualizing Martial Intent for Martial Cultivators. They must also use this method to resist the pull from ‘the Root.’

Lin Rui also heard from Linghu Mingde that the early Armored Martial Cultivators were actually very hesitant about integrating their True Spirit into the Heavenly Curtain.

The Federation scientists’ research into the ‘Heavenly Curtain’ and ‘Divine Illumination’ has also been consistently unsuccessful. They have exhausted various methods, but they could not allow the Armored Martial Cultivators to enter the Ninth Realm.

At the time, Armored Martial Cultivators were very eager for power, and they found that their Life Span was closely related to the Heavenly Curtain.

When Armored Martial Cultivators reach the Eight Realms, their life forms are already extremely strong. Under normal circumstances, they can live for four to five thousand years without any issues, and with the Federation’s biotechnology, thirty to fifty thousand years would be quite easy.

However, many Martial Cultivators from the First Generation Alien Walkers who suffered soul damage, experienced the decline of the heavenly man and successively perished.

The essence of the so-called decline of the heavenly man is the soul’s essence being pulled and devoured by ‘the Root,’ unable to integrate so much pure ether elements, nor maintain the pure True Yuan of their prime.

Therefore, the Divine Light Sky is essential!

If it wasn’t for meeting Lin Rui, Linghu Mingde would have died of the decline of the heavenly man.

After his recovery, he also integrated into the Divine Light Sky at the first opportunity, securing his Primordial Spirit.

Lin Tianchen’s True Spirit is trapped in an ancient god’s Divine Country, as said by Li Xianglong? That situation would be dire indeed.

Not long after, they entered an experimental building that looked like a military fortress, guarded by alloy walls less than 12 meters high.

Top model turrets were densely distributed above and on the outside of the alloy wall, and inside, numerous advanced combat robots stood guard.

Lin Rui even spotted 4 Red Spider 9SSS units here — real Red Spider 9s, not the castrated 8PRO versions.

Dragon Slayers balanced offense and defense, closest to a true Ninth Realm; the combat AI of the King and lords were strong, able to maximally stimulate and mobilize the combat power of the robots.

However, when it comes to home and Protector roles, Red Spiders were more suitable, also having greater potential for modification.

Li Xianglong had no trouble entering and exiting, leading them unhindered to a set of alloy doors at the innermost part of the experimental building.

At the entrance, Li Xianglong scanned his retina and the alloy doors opened with a ‘click,’ parting to both sides.

Lin Rui saw the Second Commander, Lin Tianchen — one of the founders of the Security Bureau, his full-body image hung on the wall of the main conference room of the Ninth Division; it was impossible for Lin Rui not to recognize him.

This was a man with delicate facial features, thin cheeks, and a scholarly aura, sitting in front of a desk, engrossed in the many virtual screens projected before him.

The screens were stacked, a total of eighty-one of them, rapidly refreshing and switching.

Lin Rui glanced over and found they were all outdated news stories.

It was obvious that the Second Commander was using this method to catch up on world affairs during the year-plus of his slumber.

At that moment, Lin Tianchen also looked their way, his expression filled with annoyance and helplessness: “Li Xianglong, did you tamper with my security program again? Hm — ”

Lin Tianchen’s gaze then focused on Lin Rui: “So you are Lin Rui? Also the Hidden Crown Prince of Great Song, Lin Hao, son of Fu Xuexian?”

The First Commander was not at all surprised by this; Lin Tianchen was indeed a General rising to the occasion in times of national crisis.

Lin Rui’s mother, Fu Xuexian, was the most talented and outstanding scholar in the Federation’s soul domain over the past 20 years.

Research strength isn’t determined by titles; although Fu Xuexian wasn’t even a candidate Academician, she was extremely learned, proficient in the three realms of soul, electromagnetism, and computer programming, and in life, she was an Armored Warrior of 6SSS grade, rumored to possibly reach 6SSS+, her cognitive computing and hands-on skills unmatched by Academician Peng.

If Fu Xuexian had been in charge of Lin Tianchen’s project, perhaps the outcome would have been different.

“Stop obsessing over Fu Xuexian; even if she helped you, it would be in vain regarding the Divine Country of the ancient gods. Even a true Tenth Realm Longevity would not dare to rashly enter the Divine Country of ancient gods. Yet you, following the foolish advices of Academician Peng, who is a mere Sixth Realm — all research on the Abyss, is but a castle in the sand,” he said.

Li Xianglong then chose a chair and sat down with a carefree attitude: “Better think about how to extract your True Spirit from the Divine Country of ancient gods.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianchen frowned deeply and sighed bitterly, “How easy could that be? Now, to extract my True Spirit from the Divine Country, besides those eight Abyssal entities, only those three ‘Supreme Divine Artifacts’ and five ‘National Treasure Divine Artifacts’ could possibly do it; even Longevity is powerless.”

Lin Tianchen couldn’t help but sigh at this point.

He truly courted death this time, not only awakening that ancient god, but also nurturing it with the vital blood of his own alien physique.

In Lin Rui’s heart, he thought this Second Commander likely had a hopeless future; it seemed death was certain.

After all, Lin Rui himself was a Demigod wielding Conceptual Power, but until his Divine Light Sky could influence the Heavenly Curtain, it would be too late; the vegetables would have already gone cold.

For Lin Rui to cultivate from the Sixth Realm to the Ninth Realm, even with the help of the Battle Spirit Ring, would take several years of hard work.

His Pure Method was not omnipotent either.

Zhou Yunfei turned even whiter, realizing his superior’s situation was worse than he had imagined.

“So this time I brought Xiao Rui with me.”

The corners of Li Xianglong’s mouth lifted slightly: “You know his current status, right? The Hidden Crown Prince of Great Song.”

Lin Tianchen didn’t understand upon hearing this; Lin Rui indeed wielded tremendous authority in Great Song.

But no matter how powerful his authority was, shielding the heavens with one hand, it couldn’t guarantee that his True Spirit would remain untainted by the ancient god, nor could it extract his True Spirit from the Divine Country of the ancient god.

“I’ve given it thorough thought, there is one thing we might still be able to obtain, the National Treasure — the Imperial Jade Seal of Great Song!”

Li Xianglong smiled faintly: “If the Emperor of Great Song is not in the Capital, then the East Abyss might choose Lin Hao as the Great Song Regent instead of picking from the Emperor’s progeny.”

He narrowed his eyes, his voice cold and stern: “Even if the East Abyss has no intention of appointing Lin Hao as Regent, we must find a way to facilitate it.”

The few people in the laboratory exchanged glances upon hearing this, their eyes revealing a strange luster.

The corners of Lin Rui’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking that Li Xianglong had audacity indeed, already plotting against the East Abyss and the Emperor of Great Song.
