Ding Junyi cast a sideways glance: "If Taboo Items and Disaster Plants are merely the diffraction patterns of singularities, understood as 'natural phenomena' from some Dark World, then human Superpower Users could be seen as the 'diffraction' of Advanced Strange Bodies within Blue Star's life forms; this could be logically comprehended."
"Comprehended?"
"A startling revelation, wouldn't you say?"
"It's world-shattering," Lin Xian's face grew somber. "If that's the case, then all human superpower evolution would become utterly meaningless."
Ding Junyi seemed to have foreseen Lin Xian's reaction. Placing her hands in her pockets, she addressed him in a reassuring tone, "Don't be alarmed. In reality, if this hypothesis can be substantiated, it might actually prove beneficial for humanity to a certain extent."
Lin Xian offered a silent smile. "Superpower Users, particularly those who have undergone Crystal Grid Evolution, should currently be humanity's paramount reliance, aside from the interstellar army and the Emperor Plan, in confronting doomsday crises. Various organizations are relentlessly propelling Superpower Users to evolve, break through, and pursue higher limits, attempting to shatter these shackles from this very direction and carve out a path to save Human Civilization. At present, a Superpower User with twenty thousand Spirit Vibration Value can triumph over a Special Level Monster; it is widely believed that if the Spirit Vibration Value reaches fifty thousand or a hundred thousand, perhaps S-Class, corpse chasers, and even World Class entities could be defeated by humans. Yet, you now propose that Superpower Users are merely the diffraction of Strange Bodies within the human domain, implying that humanity fundamentally stands no chance against those monstrous entities lurking in the darkness?"
Ding Junyi gave a slight shrug. "Should the theory hold true, several avenues warrant consideration: 1. If the demise of a Strange Body results in the cessation of a Superpower User's abilities, then would the elimination of a Superpower User affect the Strange Bodies? This is an extreme line of thought. 2. From a game theory standpoint, currently, no Superpower User possesses the capability to independently confront S-Class entities, corpse chasers, or even World Class beings. If even one succeeds, the strategic importance of Superpower Users would soar dramatically. 3. Viewed from a balance perspective, if Superpower Users and Strange Bodies exert equivalent strategic deterrence, would humanity's technological prowess become the decisive factor tipping the scales?"
Lin Xian closed his eyes, a headache forming. "What a jest! If Superpower Users could maintain strategic deterrence comparable to Strange Bodies, Dawn City would not have been battered so severely."
Ding Junyi's gaze intensified as she fixed on him. "The foundational assumption is that the Dark Civilization is aware of our mastery of this point and possesses means to counteract it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian's eyes snapped open, his entire body trembling slightly. Their gazes met, and in that instant, it felt as though thunder erupted within his heart!
He slowly took two steps back, his mind racing at an incredible pace. Although Ding Junyi's words were presented as mere conjecture, this perspective undeniably illuminated countless mysteries of the world simultaneously. He delved deep into his memories, reflecting on past events, and the more he pondered, the more his scalp tingled with chilling realization.
If Ding Junyi's assertion proved true, humanity's capacity to deter the encroaching darkness might be intricately linked to this very phenomenon.
"The Moonlit Plan..."
"Making contact with S-Class..."
Lin Xian murmured thoughtfully, suddenly recalling the experimental logs pertaining to the Nightwalker Organization's Crystal Grid Cultivation, which Ye Lan had shown him upon their entry into the oceanic orbit.
Within those logs, almost every Superpower User detailed had exceeded the peak value of ten thousand after crystallization, effectively doubling or more their Peak Superpower Value, just as Vanessa had stated. However, he had also observed supplementary logs beneath each individual's data. Many who underwent Crystal Lattice transformation reported experiencing bizarre hallucinations shortly thereafter. These reported hallucinations bore a striking resemblance to what Lin Xian had witnessed through the corpse chaser in Dawn City; some emanated from the night, others from the deep sea—essentially, all depicting strange, otherworldly scenes.
Even more peculiar, certain individuals who possessed evidently high Peak Superpower Values... had become aberrant.
"What they perceived were not hallucinations..." Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi, his expression now exceedingly grave. "If your theory is accurate, then what those who underwent Crystal Grid Evolution witnessed was most likely the very perspective of a Strange Body!"
Ding Junyi's brow furrowed, and she remained silent.
A dawning realization struck Lin Xian. He abruptly turned to leave, but Ding Junyi's hand stopped him."If Monica's Crystal Grid Cultivation is terminated prematurely, her life could be at risk. While I comprehend your intentions, you must realize this is merely my hypothesis. Should it prove accurate, Crystal Grid Evolution would become irrelevant. The moment they awakened their abilities, this diffraction association was already established, or more accurately, the Strange Body had already identified them!" Lin Xian paused, his expression shifting, before letting out a cold scoff: "What a chaotic civilization." He turned back to Ding Junyi, stating, "Director Ding, I find your theory quite insightful. You may pursue this line of research further; I have a strong feeling that by following this path, our understanding of Superpowers and Strange Bodies will advance significantly. For now, it is imperative that we determine the nature of this diffraction between Superpower Users and Strange Bodies – is it one-sided or mutual? Does the individual evolution of Superpower Users impact Strange Bodies? Most critically, does the demise of a Superpower User genuinely involve Strange Bodies? These factors might very well be the true deterrents." Lin Xian concluded with a deep breath, adding, "Perhaps this is also the reason Hua Xiaoling sought us out. Yet, I fail to grasp how we possess such deterrence." "Perhaps you already do," Ding Junyi replied calmly, hands tucked into his pockets as he met Lin Xian's gaze. Lin Xian let out a wry laugh. "To be candid, if post-evolution Superpower Users experience such hallucinations, it suggests the existence of such a phenomenon, or rather, such an entity within me."
