Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1201 - 489: "Sacred Seed" (Part 2)

Sitting across from her was the young Valen, along with several other contemporaneous students.

Valen’s expression was focused and serious at this moment, clearly captivated by this academic topic:

"You mean the soul may have some sort of independence? It’s an interesting idea, but lacks empirical support."

"Empirical?"

Sarlin chuckled softly:

"Valen, you should know that the most cutting-edge theories often transcend the validation capabilities of current empirical methods."

She gently placed a book in the center of the table, its cover inscribed with "Philosophical Speculations on Soul Transition" in Ancient Mage script:

"I found this book in the deep archives of the library. The theoretical framework recorded inside... is astonishing."

At this moment, the energy fluctuations emanating from this book produced a subtle resonance with the sacred seed on Sarlin’s chest, as if the two were originally complementary contaminating tools.

"The author of this book proposed a revolutionary perspective."

Sarlin flipped open the book and pointed to a paragraph written in Ancient Mage script:

"If the soul truly possesses independence, then theoretically, we could achieve true eternal life—not by prolonging physical life, but by liberating consciousness itself from material constraints."

This statement immediately aroused the interest of everyone present.

After all, for any intelligent being, death is the ultimate fear.

A theory that could transcend this fear naturally possesses immense allure.

"It sounds wonderful, but what is the possibility of achieving it?"

A student from the Elemental Garden questioned:

"Even if the soul does have independence, we lack the technological means to directly manipulate the soul."

"That’s precisely the most exciting part."

Sarlin’s eyes sparkled with a certain fervor:

"The book not only provides a theoretical framework but also offers specific technological pathways.

Of course, it requires some... courage to break free from traditional constraints."

In her words, there began to appear subtle inducements.

Not direct agitation, but rather a form of knowledge sharing, planting the desire for "breakthrough" and "transcendence" in the hearts of the listeners.

Valen furrowed his brow:

"Sarlin, what exactly do you mean by ’breaking traditional constraints’? If it involves dangerous experimentation, we should report it to the Master first."

"The Master?"

Sarlin’s expression showed clear disdain:

"Valen, do you think those conservative old scholars truly wish to see young people surpass their achievements?"

This statement, like a poisonous needle, accurately pierced the most sensitive part of Valen’s heart.

As a talented young Wizard, Valen indeed once felt frustrated because certain research directions were vetoed by his Master.

Sarlin’s words awakened his deep-seated doubts about authority.

"Moreover," Sarlin continued:

"Shouldn’t true academic pursuits be advanced by our generation?

If we’re always waiting for the permission of our predecessors, we will forever be circling within the framework they’ve set."

This argument seems logically impeccable, but the rebellious tendency contained within it quietly alters the value judgments of the audience.

Sarlin is in a highly covert manner leading her classmates onto a dangerous path.

"However, I understand everyone’s caution."

Sarlin closed the book, her tone becoming gentle again:

"Indeed, this theory is too avant-garde and requires more time to digest and understand."

She got up to leave, but at the last moment "inadvertently" added:

"If anyone is interested in this topic, feel free to find me for a private discussion.

After all, genuine academic exchange shouldn’t be overly constrained by external limitations."

This sentence lingered in the listeners’ minds like a hook.

Sarlin didn’t force anyone to accept her views but rather through stimulating curiosity, led them to actively seek out more information.

......

"Allen, you have to see this!"

A few days later, Sarlin excitedly showcased the latest experimental results to her friend.

On the lab table, an experimental white mouse was in a peculiar state:

Its body was already dead, with heartbeat and breathing halted, yet consciousness remained active.

"It’s impossible..."

The pink-haired witch, still youthful and beautiful at the time, gazed in surprise at this phenomena defying common sense:

"Death and consciousness are inseparable; this is a basic law of life science..."

"But now the law has been broken!"

Sarlin’s voice was filled with the fervor of a scientist faced with a major discovery:

"We have found a way to free consciousness from the shackles of the body! Imagine the application prospects of this technology..."

She excitedly paced around the laboratory:

"If we can extract human consciousness from the aging body and then implant it into a more robust vessel...

that would mean true eternal life!"

Allen carefully observed the small mouse on the experiment table, his brows furrowing more deeply:

"Sarlin, are you sure this state doesn’t have a negative impact on the consciousness itself?

The behavior patterns of this experimental mouse... seem somewhat abnormal..."

Indeed, although the mouse still responded to external stimuli, its behavior had become extremely mechanized.

All actions carried a certain mechanistic characteristic, lacking the randomness and creativity that a biological organism should have.

"This ’abnormality’ precisely proves the success of consciousness extraction!"

Sarlin explained excitedly:

"Consciousness freed from bodily constraints naturally exhibits traits different from ordinary biological entities.

This is not a flaw but an evolution!"

The historical projection continued to flow.
